governments and local governments. All of these levels of government are necessary.
This is so for number of reasons. First, the federal government is necessary for the big
things. They keep the economy in order and look after like defensE. Similarly, the state
governments look after the middle sized things. For example they look after law and
order, preventing things like vandalism in school. Finally, local government look after the
small thins. They look after things like collecting rubbish, otherwise everyone would have

Analytical Text 2
There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculturE. Pesticides which are commonly
used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is
the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and
in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer
and stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This
affects the ecology and environment as well.
So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be
chosen and applied carefully so that they don’t affect the ecological balance and
environment.
Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest
in agriculture and livestock.

A. Plants

The government should provide a rehabilitation Program for Drug Users
Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of
the main things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in
prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer
from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are
actually helping them out from traps, which they might accidentally step
on.
If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the
problem as drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is
imposed on them.
Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to
participate in the programs is better than only arresting them and doing
nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers
should be imprisoned.
8. Most drug users get drugs from ...
A. Jails
B. Peddlers
C. Traffickers
D. Wholesalers

9. Sending drug users to prison is not a good solution because ...

A. They can't consume harmful drugs.
B. They are treated normally.
C. They may still be infected with harmful drugs.
D. They can be freed as soon as possible.

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 into the market. It
of course means, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the
groceries from another region. Therefore, by buying local groceries we are
helping reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced.
Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones is healthier for us.
Furthermore, fresh food or groceries means no requirements for it to be
frozen 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.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious
problem for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological
specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in
water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus,
it is not for food preservatives. Of course when it is used for food preservative, it will be
very dangerous to human’s body.

The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This condition
makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use
formalin was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really
happened, the citizen's bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food
traders still sell their products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can
you imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the
human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other
preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.

Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyablE. You can mix pleasure
with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English
progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs
in language learning.
Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last
song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and
sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs
work on our short-and-long term memory.
Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of
repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are
