Jawaban: D
Analisis: Tulisan pada papan menyatakan “FOOD STORAGE ONLY” yang berarti tempat ini khusus untuk menyimpan makanan saja. Kalimat berikutnya “No Chemicals in This Unit” menegaskan bahwa bahan kimia tidak boleh diletakkan di unit ini. Jadi maknanya: yang boleh dimasukkan hanya makanan, bukan bahan kimia. Karena itu, jawaban paling tepat adalah D. We can only put food in the unit.

Dear Linda,
Hi! I am waiting for the holidays. It will be here in three weeks. My family are planning to go to the Bunaken Island. It is well known for its beautiful sea garden. We are going to see the scenery of the garden. Also, I am going to watch the colorful fish and various types of coral reefs from its surface. We are going to use a special boat for that. If possible I am going to do some diving. Wow! It is going to be an interesting experience.
So how are you? What are you plan for your holidays? Tell me the activities you are going to do. Please write soon.
Your friend,
Dani

Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: C
Analisis: Rencana utama penulis disebutkan jelas: “My family are planning to go to the Bunaken Island” dan “It is well known for its beautiful sea garden” lalu “We are going to see the scenery of the garden.” Ini menunjukkan tujuan/rencana liburannya adalah melihat sea garden di Bunaken. Pilihan A hanya cara (alat) “use a special boat”, bukan rencana utama. Pilihan B adalah permintaan penulis kepada Linda, bukan rencana liburan. Pilihan D adalah akibat/hasil (“an interesting experience”), bukan rencana spesifik. Jadi jawaban paling tepat adalah C.
3. We know from the text that ....
| A. Dani can not swim well. |
| B. the holiday will be boring. |
| C. Bunaken is a recreation place. |

Lihat Jawaban dan Analisis
Jawaban: C
Analisis: Teks menyebut Bunaken “well known for its beautiful sea garden” dan penulis serta keluarganya akan melihat pemandangan, menonton ikan berwarna-warni, terumbu karang, naik perahu khusus, bahkan mungkin menyelam. Rangkaian kegiatan ini menunjukkan Bunaken adalah tempat wisata/rekreasi. Pilihan A tidak disebutkan. Pilihan B bertentangan dengan kalimat “It is going to be an interesting experience.” Pilihan D keliru karena yang “well known” adalah Bunaken, bukan Dani dan keluarganya. Jadi jawaban yang tepat adalah C. Bunaken is a recreation place.

At least 26 people were confirmed dead as two trains leaving from Jakarta crashed in Central Java town of Pemalang on Saturday. Witnesses, however, said more passengers might be killed in one of the worst train accidents in the country’s history as many passengers remained trapped inside three carriages of the Senja Utama business class train which derailed after an Argobromo Anggrek train hit from behind.
“As of now we have evacuated 26 bodies to a number of hospitals,” the Pemalang police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Sofyan Nugroho told kompas.com. He added evacuation of victims trapped inside the Senja Utama carriages was still underway. Wounded victims were rushed to the Santa Maria Hospital, the Ashari Hospital and the Pemalang Islamic Hospital.
The accident took place around 3 a.m, when the Senja Utama train deliberately stopped to let the executive train overtake the rail road. The business class train was heading for Semarang, the capital of Central Java, while the executive train was bound for the East Java capital of Surabaya.
