Text for question 13 to15.
Dear, Rosa
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with a girl friend. She is twenty five years old. We have been dating each other for years, since we were high school students. Now we have jobs. I feel very sure that we love each other. Now it is time for me to get married. Unfortunately, her parents never approve of our relationship ever since the very first time. My family, anyhow, does not really mind. At first I thought my girl friend had the power to defend our love. But then she surrendered. She loves, me and she loves her family, too. On the one hand she said, "I'll be happy if my family is happy." It means she had to get approval from her parents.
For this I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our relationship just at the time when I was ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot in common and there were no conflicts. The truth was, we separated only because of her parents. They want her to marry her cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in the Karonese).
For the time being I am very upset. When I miss her I call her. Then we can eat together, talk together for hours. We act like elating because she loves me, too. The real problem is, she cannot refuse what her parents want. So, should I forget my girl friend, the only one that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait, and dream that one day she will be back to me?
Rio N., Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her your girl friend, but she has chosen her own way. For this reason I’d, say that there is nothingyou can do except forget her and go on with your normal life. Hopefully you can find another and livehappily forever.

v  Text Explanation

Making Paper From Woodchips

              Do you have any paper in your bag ? it may be a silly question but do you  know how to make paper ? What is paper made of ? right. And how about woodchipping ? have you heard about it ? Well, wood chipping is a process used  to obtain pulp and paper products from the trees.

              First of all,  the tops and branches of the trees are cut out and then the logs are taken out 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 exported in this form or changed into the pulp by chemicals and heat. Then the pulp is bleached and the water content is removed. Finally, the pulp is rolled out to make paper.

              Considering the complexity of making paper, let’s use any paper on our   hands more effectively.

The controversy of harnessing solar energy

              We often hear about solar cars, solar heating and solar batteries. But will solar energy ever be the major source of energy for society ?

              Solar energy is cheaper than other fossil fuels because we can get an abundant source from the sun.

              In sunny desert areas, 50% of the sun’s radiation that reaches the ground could be used to produce electricity for business and industry, to provide heat, light, and hot water for homes. Experimental solar ponds can also produce hot water  to drive generators.

              Unfortunately, we can’t yet power our homes entirely on sunlight.

              Solar energy can only be used effectively in bright light. Its greatest potential therefore is in hot countries that have clear skies for most of the year. But, unfortunately most houses are not always in the sunniest part of the world. Moreover, in order to harness solar power , solar cells are needed to convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar cells are very cheap to run, but relatively expensive to buy and many people can’t afford them.

              Needless to say, solar energy is useful and non pollution source of energy. However, solar cells the main device to harness the sun’s energy are still very expensive.
