B. Reading Texts

Answer the following questions based on the text below

Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method. Is it better to study in an English-speaking country or to study in your own country?

The advantages of going to an English-speaking country seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people. In Indonesia, it is always possible, in the class, to speak Indonesian if you want to and the learning is slower.

On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to make big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to an English-speaking country. If you have a good teacher in Indonesia, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in an English-speaking country without going to a school.

So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in an English-speaking country. This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Indonesia is the only viable option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximize your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.

Answer the following questions based on the text below

Yesterday was fantastic! We went on our end-of-year trip to the theme park. I had to get up so early though as the coach picked us up from school at 5 a.m.

Can you believe that Dan nearly missed the coach? Typical! He was running down the street shouting and luckily Mr. Andrews, the teacher, saw him and stopped the coach. The journey was awful – there was an accident on the motorway so we were in a traffic jam for ages, so we got to the park really late and there were already huge queues for all the rides.

The rides were brilliant! I went on the Abyss and Xtreme which is totally crazy! It goes so fast and I felt really dizzy when it stopped. And guess what? Luisa Martin was sick all over herself! Disgusting!

After lunch we went on the water rides – my favourite! We got so wet and it started raining too! They took a photo of us on the ride and I had my eyes closed and was screaming with my mouth wide open. Such an embarrassing photo and then Kiara bought it and showed everyone ... how embarrassing! Anyway, I took loads of photos too – check these out ....

It was a really good day ... so much fun … can’t wait to go again!!
