NARRATIVE
Snow White
Once upon a
time there lived a little girl named Snow White. She lived with her Aunt and
Uncle because her parents were dead.
One day she heard her Uncle and Aunt talking about leaving
Snow White in the castle because they both wanted to go to America and they
didn’t have enough money to take Snow White.
Snow White did not want her Uncle and Aunt to do this so she decided it would
be best if she ran away. The next morning she ran away from home when her Aunt
and Uncle were having breakfast. She ran away into the woods.
Then she saw this little cottage. She knocked but no one answered so she went
inside and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, the seven dwarfs were coming home from work. They went inside. There
they found Snow White sleeping. Then Snow White woke up. She saw the dwarfs.
The dwarfs said, “what is your name?” Snow White said, “My name is Snow White.”
Doc, one of the dwarfs, said, “If you wish, you may
live here with us.” Snow White said, “Oh could I? Thank you.” Then Snow White
told the dwarfs the whole story and finally Snow White and the 7 dwarfs lived
happily ever after.

4. REPORT
THE PELICAN
REPORT
The white pelican is one of the most successful
fish-eating birds.
The success is
largely due to its command hunting behaviour. A group, perhaps two dozen birds,
will gather in a curved arc some distance offshore. The birds then begin to
move forward towards the shore, beating the water furiously with their wings,
driving the fish before them.
When the water is shallow enough for the birds to
reach the fish, the formation breaks up as each bird dips its bill into the
water to scoop up its meal. As the bird lifts its head, the water drains from
its bill leaving the fish which are then swallowed. Pelicans are among the
oldest group of birds, Fossils of this genus have been found dating back 40
million years.
5. DESCRIPTIVE
MacQuarie University
Macquarie University is one of the largest
universities in Australia. This year, in 2004, it celebrates its 40th
anniversary.
The university is located at the North Ryde Greenbelt, Sydney, where the New
South Wales government sets aside 135 hectares for the institution. In 1964,
Macquarie area was a rural retreat on the city fringe, but today the campus and
its surroundings have evolved beyond recognition. The North Ryde District has
grown into a district of intensive occupation anchored by a vibrant and growing
university.
Blessed with a fortunate location and room to breathe,
Macquarie can be proud of that careful planning that retains and enrich the
university’s most attractive natural features. A pleasing balance between
buildings and plating is evident across the campus. This emphasis on the
importance of landscape has created images of Macquarie as a place that members
of the university are most likely to pleasurably recollect.
One of the highlights of the landscape is the Mars
Creek zone. It comprises landscaped creek sides and valley floor, a grass
amphitheatre, and artificial lake surrounded by rocks and pebbles, native plants
and eucalypts.
Today, a railway station is under construction. In three years1 time, Macquarie
will be the only university in Australia with a railway station on site.
Macquarie is poised to be the most readily accessible in Sydney region by rail and
motorway, yet retaining its beautiful site.
6. NEWS ITEM
Seven Killed in
Accident on Jalan Sultan
Seven people were killed in a collision between a bus,
a car and a truck at 10:35 p.m. on Jalan Sultan last night.
The dead were
all passengers in the car. Police believe the car may have been trying to
overtake the bus when it was struck by a truck coming from the opposite
direction. The driver of the car may not have been using his lights, as the truck
driver said he did not see the car approaching.
The police said
the car should not have been trying to pass the bus, since overtaking is not
allowed on Jalan Sultan. In addition, the police reported that the car–a small
Japanese car–should not have been carrying more than five people. The names of
the victims are not yet known.
7. ANALYTICAL
EXPOSITION
Cars should be
banned
Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and
cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents.
Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribution to the
most of the pollution in the world. Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illness
such as bronchritis, lung cancer, and ‘triggers’ off asthma. Some of these illnesses
are so bad that people can die from them.
secondly, the
city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit
pedestrains in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads
biggest killers.
Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city,
you may find it hard to sleep at night, or concentrate on your homework, and
especially talk to someone.
in conclusion, cars should be benned from the city for
the reason listed.
8. HORTATORY
EXPOSITION
Corruption
Do you know
what the meaning of corruption is? What is the relation between money and
corruption? Well, corruption is common everywhere in the world, even in the
United States. It’s just a matter of intensity. However, it is quite shocking
when one reliable survey claims Jakarta as the most corrupt place in Indonesia.
The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay
and earn a living here in the capital. As most people know, Tanjung Priok port
smuggling is not a new thing at all. Entrepreneurs who want to minimize their
tax payments tend to do such a thing more often. They even bribe the officials.
Well, I think
the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by punishing the corruptors
is still not far enough. We have to prevent the younger generations from
getting a bad mentality caused by corruption.
I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think everyone
should be involved in the effort to eradicate corruption. We must not make any
distinction.

10. DISCUSION TEXT
The Advantage
and Disadvantage of Nuclear Power
Nuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a
metal mined in various part of the world. The first large scale of nuclear
power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England in 1956.
Some military
ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engine. Nuclear power
produces around 11% of the world's energy needed, and produces huge amounts of
energy. It cause no pollution as we would get when burning fossil fuels. The
advantages of nuclear plant are as follow:
-
It costs about the same coal, so it is not
expansive to make.
- It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute
to the greenhouse effect.
- It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.
- It produces small amount of waste.
- It is reliable.
On the other
hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried
for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it
is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go
wrong, a nuclear accident ca be a major accident.
People are increasingly concerned about this matter.
In the 1990's nuclear power was the fastest growing source of power in many
parts of the world.
11. EXPLANATION
Making Paper
from Woodchips
Woodchipping is
a process used to obtain pulp and paper products from forest trees. The
woodchipping process begins when the trees are cut down in a selected area of
theforest alled a coupe.
Next the tops and branches of the trees are cut out and then the logs are taken
to the mill. At the mill the bark of the logs is removed and the logs are taken
to a chipper which cuts them into small pieces called woodchips. The woodchips
are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. At this stage they are
either exported in this form or changed into pulp by chemicals and heat. The
pulp is then bleached and the water content is removed.
Finally the pulp is rolled out to make paper.
