TEXT 1

In Jeff Lees opinion, children should be educated at home. These are his reasons.
Firstly, the government would save a lot of money. It would not need to build school and pay teachers. Neither would it
need to pay electricity and water bills or pay for books and teaching materials. The money saved could be used to pay for
more important things such as medical research, hospital upgrading and food for the homeless.
Secondly, technology has improved so much that children can learn just as well at home, using computers. Parents could
be trained to show children how to use internet for learning.
Thirdly, there would be fewer distractions at home. When children are placed in noisy classroom, they cannot learn much.
On the other hand, in the peace and quiet of their own home they can learn a lot more.
Fourthly, there would be no bullying. Some children are so upset by bullying in school that they experience learning
difficulties. They cannot concentrate as they worried about what the bullies will do to them. However, this would not be a
problem in the childs own home.
Fifthly, children would be safer when they do not have to travel to school. Both parents and children would not longer
have fears of traffic accidents on their way to school or the way home. Parents would not have to worry about their children
talking to strangers.
For benefit of all children, he would urge parents and the government to seriously consider allowing children to be
educated at home.

39. Garbage and Flooding in Jakarta

40.

41. Rainy season is nemesis of any Jakarta governor. In the early 1970s, governor Ali Sadikin always urged
regents, district heads, community unit heads and neighborhood unit heads in Jakarta as well as all residents to clean their
drainage systems. Gutters and drainage canals should be free from plastic garbage, the evil stuff that clogs drainage
systems, in order to avoid heavy flooding. He even talked to his citizens on TV a few months before the rainy season started.
He personally went to the most outlying areas in Greater Jakarta to help clear gutters and drainage systems and he checked
on wheather officials were doing their jobs. Citizens of Jakarta constantly need education and warnings with regard to plastic
garbage. Since Jakarta constantly grows with many people arriving to find jobs, Jakarta has grown out of proportion.
42. In 2012, the former governor succeeded in building two flood canals and was about to build a third to
alleviate heavy flooding. He even had to admit that it is a king-size job to free Jakarta from flooding. He built the elevated
road to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in record time to at least help travelers be on time for their flights. Canals and
rivers should be cleared of garbage and dredged before the rainy season begins in earnest.
43. In 2013, the newly-elected governor should use the media to constantly educate his citizens. Garbage is
piled high in the vicinity of any market in Jakarta; plastic garbage is everywhere near restaurants and shopping malls. Heaps
of garbage is a thorn in the eye. Garbage collectors are working their fingers to the bone. Drainage canals are used as
garbage dumps by ignorant Jakarta citizens. Rivers are full of plastic garbage with an occasional corpse floating amid all this
junk. If Jakarta citizens continue to be ignorant, they should not blame the citys authorities for their flooded city and flooded
underpasses. (Taken from The Jakarta Post January 09, 2013 edition)

 I am ( 24 ) to apply for the job of Fitness Instructor, as ( 25 ) in Thursdays Courant. This is an ideal job for me given my
enthusiasm for sport, my related experience and ( 26 ).
Sport and fitness training have always been important to me, which is why I chose to take a BTEC Diploma in Sports Science. I
obtained distinctions in the Sports Anatomy & Physiology and Sports Injuries modules last year and am confident that I will get
similar marks in Exercise Physiology, Mechanics of Sport and Sports Supervision & Management this year. I am a ( 27 ) user
of Microsoft Office 2000 and have worked extensively with Fitness Publisher, a program for analysing fitness.
As you can see from my CV, Ive taken the opportunity to gain extra qualifications that were on offer at college, which has
( 28 ) me get part-time work as a pool attendant. Im called on to provide cover during busy times so am used to working
irregular hours at short notice. Ive also run a lunchtime aerobics class at college since the start of this year.
I finish college in six weeks and am keen to find a job rather than carry on with further full-time study. I could start any part
time work or training sooner as many of my classes are finishing and most of my assignments are done. I look forward to ( 29
) from you.

Yours sincerely
