THE SMARTEST PARROT
Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot
like it. The parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot
would not say the name of the place where it was born. The name of the
place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not
understand why the parrot would not say Catano. The man tried to teach
the bird to say Catano, however the bird did not say the word.
At first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very angry.
“You stupid bird!” pointed the man to the parrot. “Why can’t you say
the word? Say Catano! Or I will kill you” the man said angrily.
Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it. Then the
man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; “Say Catano or
I’ll kill you”. The bird kept not to say the word of Catano.
One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say
Catano, the man really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked
the parrot and threw it into the chicken house. There were four old
chickens for next dinner “You are as stupid as the chickens. Just stay
with them” Said the man angrily. Then he continued to humble; “You
know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I
will eat you too, stupid parrot”. After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the
door and was very surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the
chicken house. There were three death chickens on the floor. At the
moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming at the last old
chicken; “Say Catano or I’ll kill you”.

Read the following text to answer questions 32 to 35.
Bees are flying insects closely
related to wasps and ants, and are known for their role in pollination
and for producing honey and beeswax. There are nearly 20,000 known
species of bees in nine recognized families though many are undescribed
and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every
continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that
contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to
obtain the nectar from flowers. They have antennae almost universally
made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in females, as is typical for
the super family. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being
the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or caste has
relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but
none are wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are
about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile
pluto, a leafcutter bee whose females can attain a length of 39 mm
(1.5"). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most
common type of bee in the Northern Hemisphere, though they are small
and often mistaken for wasps or flies.

MAKING CANDLES
Making coloured and scented candles is
really quick and simple. What's more, you'll save so much money. If
making candle is easy, why do you ever buy one from a shop? What you
need in making candle are wax, moulds, wick, dye discs, essential oils,
and a double boiler. All these materials are available from craft
shops. Or if you do not want to buy them, you can improvise with an old
saucepan, Pyrex jug, or even a sturdy can, in a pot of water. After
providing the materials, follow this procedure or instruction in making
candles!
First of all, melt the wax. All wax has a flash point, so to prevent it
bursting into flames; you must melt it in a double boiler, with water
in the bottom of the pan.
Then, prepare the mould with the wick. Thread the wick through the
mould and make sure that you leave a good few centimeters sticking out
of the hole in the bottom.
After that, add the scent. If you want a scented candle, add a few
drops of essential oil to the melted wax. You can use any essential oil
you like, as long as it doesn't contain water.
Next step, pour the wax into the mould. Try and tip the wax into the
mould quickly, all in one go, to minimize spillage and air bubbles.
Then, release the bubbles and top it up. Releasing the air bubbles will
eventually make the candle sink, so you will need to top it up with
more melted wax.
Finally, remove it from the mould. After four or five hours, the candle can be taken out of its mould.
Your candle is now ready for display. Remember, you must always leave it for a day before lighting it.

Dear Dr. Hambali Sahali,
We would like to invite you and your
staff to visit our school SMP Duta Bangsa, where we are engaged in an
exciting service learning project.
Service-learning is a teaching method that engages our students in
solving problems within their school and communities as an integral
part of their academic studies. It is hoped that students master
important curriculum content by making meaningful connection between
what they study and its real-life applications. Besides, students
become more effective citizens through acts of kindness, community
stewardship and civic action. This effort is made possible with support
from Learn and Serve America, a program of the corporation for
National and Community Service.
May we suggest that you visit us on January 11, 2010 at 10 o’clock?
This will give you an opportunity to see our program in action. We have
also invited our community partners, members of the local media, and
several families of students whom we serve. They are eager to talk to
you about the importance of investing in service-learning activities in
our local community.
We have enclosed a one page profile of our program for your reference. I
will contact your office within the next two weeks to follow-up on
this invitation. Again, we do hope you can join us on this occasion.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Andy Sehatapi
