 My favourite thing is aquarium. It is a
place in which aquatic plants and animals,
particularly fish, are kept. The term is
applied to single tanks for home use in
which fish are kept for their decorative
effect and interesting habits and to public
institutions with tanks for exhibition and
scientific study of aquatic life.
I make home aquariums to simulate a
natural environment. Aquatic plants supply
the oxygen needed by the fish, but often
an aerating device is used to furnish
additional oxygen. Goldfish enjoy cool
water, but the popular tropical fish must
have water at a constant temperature of
22C (72F) or more. I must keep the
water pure and free of algae for long
periods by sufficient aeration and by
keeping mollusks in the aquarium. A layer
of sand or gravel at the bottom of the tank
will hold the roots of such important
aquatic plants as tape grass, vallisneria
spiralis, and aid in the removal of debris.
My home aquariums range in size from
small fishbowls holding two or three pets
to huge tanks.
10. To give additional oxygen, ... is used
in a home aquarium.
A. a natural environment
B. aquatic plants
C. an aerating device
D. a layer of sand
11. Which is not needed to stimulate a
natural environment in a home aquarium?
A. Putting aquatic plants in the aquarium
B. Using a suitable aerating device
C. Keeping mollusks in the aquarium
D. Removing the debris regularly
12. What is the above passage about?
A. The writer's home aquariums

Yesterday night was the night of the fair,
the following day was holiday. The
children at Tim's school were really
excited. They ran down the path out of
school as fast as they could. Tim ran all
the way home, and changed into his jeans
and sneakers. He ate his dinner quickly,
and sat at the window waiting for his dad
to come. He couldn't wait for six o'clock
when the fair would begin. He had been
saving his pocket money for weeks.
When Tim and his family arrived at the fair,
it had just opened. Already there were
crowds of people swarming around food
stalls, displays and dozens of rides. "Can I
buy some chips and a drink?" asked Tim.
"Okay" sad Tim's dad. "But hang on tightly
to your wallet. There are a lot of people
around." "I'll be fine', said Tim impatiently.
He found a food stall, and ordered his
food. When the man brought his chips and
drink, without thinking, Tim put his wallet
on the counter and picked up his food and
drink. When he glanced back, his wallet
had vanished! Tim desperately looked
around him, but it was no use. All his
pocket money was gone.

Have you ever visited a place which
made you want to stay forever?
I have. Last year, I went to Situ Cileunca.
At first, I thought the place was only the
same as, other places in Bandung. But I
was very surprised to find that it was the
most beautiful place I've ever visited.
There were fantastic meadows, a lake,
and a river. The meadow was very large.
In the middle of the meadow there were
many cows and sheep. All the animals
were fat and healthy because they could
easily get some grass in that large
meadow. At the edge of the meadow,
there was a small river. The water in the
river was very cold. But, the sound of the
streaming water was good to hear,
especially in the evening.
Not far away from the herd of cattle, there
was a lake. The lake wasn't too big, but it
was very beautiful. The water was very
clear and clean. We could see many fish
in the lake. The most amazing thing was
the water itself. It was not cold although
the weather around was extremely
freezing.
Unfortunately, I stayed there for just three
days because we had to go back to
Jakarta. But I have promised myself to
come back later.

Do you know that a giraffe may grow
more than six metres tall? Yes, the giraffe
is a very tall animal. In fact, it is the tallest
animal in the world.
A giraffe has a very long neck.
Unfortunately, the giraffe cannot bend its
neck easily. Thus, when it wants to drink
water at a pool, the giraffe has to spread
its front legs apart, so it can reach the
water.
A giraffe feeds on plant only. Hence, it can
reach the leaves on trees easily because
of its height. Also, a giraffe has a very long
tongue about 0.5 metres long. The
giraffe uses this long tongue skillfully to
pick leaves off plants and trees.
This tall animal can protect itself very well.
It has a very good sense of smell and
sight. It can hear very well, too. It can also
gallop very fast at a speed of 50 km.p.h.
