Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There are several
things that we can do. One of them is by buying and consuming fresh local groceries as much
as possible. It of course includes local vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.
Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of course means,
the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries from other region.
Therefore, by buying local groceries we are helping reduce the amount of carbon dioxide
produce.
Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us. Furthermore, fresh
food or groceries means no requirements for it to be freeze up. It means that no electricity
is needed and saving energy means reducing carbon dioxide and money.
So, from now on we should consume fresh local groceries to reduce global warming.

To improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, a number of dust bins should be
increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are paper mineral
water cups, straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanliness and
discomfort really hinders learning and teaching environment. Litters thrown carelessly
cause disease, especially empty plastic cup or glasses. They can be filled out with water
coming from the rain. This can be placed for dengue mosquitoes to spread out.
Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the scene. Well painted wall and green school yard
do not mean anything litters are scattered everywhere.
Anyway I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school
environment. They put their litters on the proper places. But some are not diligent enough
to find the dust bins. The numbers of dust bins in our schools are not enough. One dust bins
should be put beside each of steps, outside of the classrooms, and some more also in the
corridors.
Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away
their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak and
discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.
12. According to the writer, more dust bins….. in every ten meters.
A. should be decorated
B. should be painted
C. should be placed
D. are unnecessary
E. are not required

School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of
a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning
school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no
direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” It also claimed a
negative effect on student achievements for those students considered ‘pro-school’.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a
particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic
standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened
with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the
school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and
worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without
expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social outcasts, or
stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer
uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school wear.
Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity. The
government should also publish some kind of rule which makes uniform compulsory for
schools.
15. In institutions without uniform students, one will be regarded poor because he/she
………..
A. does not wear a school uniform
B. cannot afford to buy a school uniform
C. wears no expensive designer clothes
D. posses a bad academic record

16. “As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards ……”
(Paragraph 3). What does the it word refer?

D. A study
E. Uniform
18. “…. Substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” (Paragraph 2). The
antonym of “attendance” word is …….
A. arrival
B. come up
C. appearance
D. presence
E. absence
d. Students often have other obligations such as work and family. Not infrequently
we meet there are students who have to work to help the cost of lectures and this
has become a necessity for him. So also with students who already have a family.
Sometimes the affairs involving the family are more important than attending the
class so the students tend to leave the class because they think the class can be
replaced by learning independently.
