Read the following text to answer questions 32 to

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 oclock? 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
