Dear Sir or Madam,

Yesterday I moved to a house rented from your agency in Brighton Boulevard. To my


surprise, I found the house is not well maintained.

The master bedroom has no key. The air conditioner does not work. How could I use
my washing machine if the outlet is missing? The worst of all is that the main faucet
has broken that no water can flow. This makes me unable to wash, to cook and to do
any other things.

I had told Mr. David, one of your employees, about my problems but I got no response
from him. I also called your secretary Miss. Brown but again, there was no response.

I would appreciate if you send me a mechanic to have those problems fixed


immediately.

Your faithfully

Sarah Johnson

teens will likely face. Some likely choose to continue studying at college or university but the
others try to find job. Here are the reasons.

2012 Film Review

2012 is Roland Emmerich’s film which uses the Mayan Calendar and other end-of-days
prophecies for their doomsday scenario. It imagines the world coming to an end in 2012.
2012 film brings off a series of wonders. The movie hits its peak early on. It stars when
Cusack drives a limo through the streets of Los Angeles as freeway and skyscrapers crumble
all around him from the shock of a 10.5 earthquake. The preposterous flying sequence is
equally thrilling. The climax occurs aboard the giant ark. When an equipment malfunction
almost threatens the entire mission.
Unfortunately, the crucial sequence is not filmed or edited with the requisite clarity.
In 2012 film, Emmerich leaves us befuddled as to exactly what is happening to whom.
However, Emmerich’2012 deserves credit for offbeat casting. Cusack supplies his
trademark hangdog charm. McCarthy has perhaps his best role ever as Peet’s cocky. Danny
Glover lends dignity to the role of the tormented president. Chiwetel Ejiofor, as the chief
scientist, brings a moving sense of anguish to a stock role. Platt has fun playing the villain
of the piece, and Woody Harrelson also chews the scenery as a bug-eyed radio prophet
trying to warn his listeners about Armageddon.
All in one, 2012’s cinematography, production design and visual effects are
award-worthy. Music also propels the movie. It presents American Idol runner-up, Adam
Lambert, who provides a rousing anthem over the end credits.

32. The writer of the film 2012 was ....


A. Adam Lambert
B. Danny Glover
C. Cusack
D. Roland Emmerich
E. Nick Everhart

33. Which part of the film should be improved?


A. The music.
B. Visual effect.
C. The equipment.
D. Crucial sequence.
E. The design.

34. “The movie hits its peak early on “ (paragraph 2)


The underlined word is closest is meaning to ....
A. average
B. top
C. failure
D. name
E. descent

We Should Change the Payment System
Nowadays, the system of payment gradually changes. Most people use debit cards
instead of cash to make payment. They think it is more effective, efficient, easier, and simpler.
However, there are still arguments about the use of debit cards as a method of payment.
Well, if you use the card, you will say that the card is so practical. You don’t need to
count how much you should pay. When paying in cash, people are afraid of making mistakes
in counting the banknote for both the payment and the change. With debit cards the mistakes
are made smaller.
Moreover, you should know that the debit cards are safer than money. Suppose you bring
a lot of money when travelling. If it is lost or stolen, you will be left with nothing in your
hands. However, if you bring a debit card, you can just phone the bank which issues the card
to block it.
On the other hand, people who disagree on the use of debit card will say that its use is so
limited. When you buy something in a traditional market, or a vendor, for example, can you
pay using a credit card? Of course not.
Another thing is that, if you want to use the card, you should make a purchase at
minimum amount. If you make less than the minimum transaction, you cannot make use of
the card.
For those reasons we think that credit cards are not fully effective as a means of payment.
We should trace the incoming and ongoing money in our account. Besides, we have to control
our habit of buying first, paying later habit. Otherwise, without being realized we are charged
a lot. You don’t have to use credit cards if not necessary.

35. What is the text about?


A. Differences between payments by cash and credit cards.
B. The disadvantages of paying in cash.
C. The advantages of using credit cards.
D. The advantages of using debit cards.
E. Different payment systems.

36. According to the text, one advantage of using the debit card is that ….
A. it cannot be stolen
B. it is as practical as using cash
C. we can use it everywhere for shopping
D. the possibility of mistakes in counting is smaller
E. we can make a purchase at minimum amount

37. What is paragraph 3 about?


A. Debit cards for travelling.
B. The advantage of debit cards over cash.
C. The safety system of debit cards.
D. What to do when you lose cash.
E. How to bring a debit card.

Penglipuran village is a beautiful highland village in the regency of Bangli in East


Bali, best known for its well-preserved culture and village layout. While most of its
residents have embraced modernity, its individual compounds are well-kept to look
traditional with visitors in mind, with manicured gardens lining its single linear stone-
paved street that runs through the centre of the village toward the village temple, and
age-old arched entrance gates and walls that conceal their houses within.
Throughout the years Penglipuran village has evolved into a community-based
tourism site. Some villagers even run shops inside, and ‘donations’ are customary but
not in any way mandatory. Nevertheless, tickets, purchased at the village’s front
entrance, are IDR 30,000 and 25,000 (USD 2 and 1.85) for adults and children
respectively. The village is a highlight on tours to the island’s eastern region,
conveniently along the same course with the scenic rim of the Mount Batur crater and
