Puji syukur kami panjatkan kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa yang telah memberi hidayah,
kekuatan, kesehatan, dan ketabahan kepada kami sehingga penyusunan bahan ajar seri
Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students ini terselesaikan.
Bahan ajar ini disusun dengan tujuan menyediakan materi pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris
untuk peserta didik kelas X sesuai dengan Standar Isi mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris 2006. Materi
dan tugas pembelajaran dikembangkan dengan prinsip-prinsip Communicative Approach untuk
secara terintegrasi mengembangkan kompetensi peserta didik dalam keempat keterampilan
berbahasa, yaitu menyimak, berbicara, membaca, dan menulis. Selain itu materi dan tugas
pembelajaran secara terpadu mengembangkan kecakapan hidup dalam arti luas dan peningkatan
wawasan kebinekaan.
Materi dan tugas-tugas pembelajaran dalam bahan ajar ini diorganisasikan ke dalam dua
siklus pembelajaran, yaitu siklus lisan dan siklus tulis. Sementara siklus lisan menekankan
pengembangan keterampilan berbahasa lisan (menyimak dan berbicara), siklus tulis
mengembangkan keterampilan dalam berbahasa tulis (membaca dan menulis). Sesuai dengan
prinsip keterpaduan dalam pembelajaran bahasa, kedua siklus tersebut mengembangkan
keempat keterampilan berbahasa secara terintegrasi. Baik siklus lisan maupun siklus tulis
tersusun atas empat macam kegiatan pembelajaran, yaitu pembuka, pajanan terhadap bahasa
target, penjelasan mengenai unsur-unsur kebahasaan, dan latihan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa
target secara terbimbing maupun bebas. Selain itu, untuk keperluan pengayaan dan evaluasi,
setiap unit dilengkapi dengan tugas terstruktur berupa pekerjaan rumah dan review.
Kegiatan-kegiatan belajar dikembangkan untuk menjadikan siswa secara aktif belajar Bahasa
Inggris melalui kegiatan memahami dan menggunakan bahasa Inggris untuk mengekspresikan
gagasan dan perasaan secara alami. Dalam pembelajaran, guru diharapkan bertindak sebagai
fasilitator, pemberi umpan balik, dan pendorong siswa agar berani menggunakan bahasa target
untuk berkomunikasi secara akurat dan berterima.
Penyusunan buku ajar ini terselesaikan atas dukungan dari berbagai pihak. Oleh karena itu,
kami mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua pihak yang telah membantu terselesaikannya
penyusunan buku ini.
Walaupun kami telah menyusun bahan ajar ini dengan upaya yang sungguh-sungguh,
karena berbagai keterbatasan kami, buku ini masih memiliki sejumlah kekurangan. Sehubungan
dengan hal tersebut, kami mengharapkan masukan dari berbagai pihak, terutama guru dan siswa
pengguna buku ini, untuk perbaikan lebih lanjut.

Joining the Traditional Dance Competition
I joined the Traditional Dance Competition in Jakarta last
year. I represented my Junior High School. It was my biggest
competition. I practised hard with my teacher for a month.
We also prepared the best costume we had.
We only had one day in Jakarta. We went there by plane.
We left at 6 a.m. and arrived in Jakarta at 7 a.m. We took a taxi
to take us to the place where the competition was held. It took
an hour to get there. There were already some participants
when we arrived. The competition would start in an hour.
First, my teacher and I went to the dressing room. My
teacher helped me do the make-up and the costume. We
spent almost an hour for the preparation. I told my teacher
that I was really nervous. I was not ready for this. However,
she told me that everything was alright, and I felt better.
Then, the time came for me to perform on stage. There
were _ ve judges and about two hundred people watching me. However, I did not feel nervous
anymore. I performed on the stage con_ dently. I really did the best I could. I was glad when it
ended smoothly.
After that, we waited for the announcement of the result. It was 4 p.m. when the judges
_ nished making their _ nal decision. I was so impatient to hear the result. I still could not believe
when they called my name as the _ rst winner. I was so happy to be given the trophy. My teacher
was also proud of my achievement. Finally, we went back to Yogyakarta in the evening. We were
so tired. However, we were satis_ ed because our effort was not useless.

I play the guitar in my band. I played the keyboard in my band.

Swimming
When I was a boy, I liked swimming very much. Each year my two brothers and I spent
the holiday with our uncle and aunt in their house by the sea. It was only twenty yards from the
water. The water was warm, the sun shone brightly, and most days there were no waves. In the
middle of the day a wind always began to blow, but it was not strong and did not make the sea
rough.
One day, we put on our swimming-shorts before breakfast. Then, we ran down to the sea
across the sand and jumped in. We were in the sea or on the beach until late at night. When our
aunt rang a bell, we went back to the house for food, but we ate it in our swimming-shorts and
soon went back in the sea again. We were all very good swimmers. We dived through the waves
or rode towards the beach on top of them until we were tired and hungry.

My Grandpa’s Funeral in Toraja
Last month my family
and I went to Toraja to attend
Grandpa’s funeral.
It was my _ rst time to go
to such a ceremony. We
gathered there with our
kin in the ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony
was quite elaborate. It
took about a week. Several
days before the ceremony
was done, grandpa’s
body was kept in a series
of houses arranged in a
circular row around an
open _ eld called tongkonan. His corpse was dressed in a _ ne wearing.
The funeral was performed in two phases. First, we slaughtered the pigs and buffaloes,
and then moved the corpse to face north. In this ceremony we wore black clothes. After that, the
corpse was placed in a sandal wood cof_ n. Then, it was brought out of the house and placed on
an open platform beneath the granary. Meanwhile, my uncle, my brother, and I prepared the
wooden puppet and a funeral tower called lakian. The next phase of the ceremony was held in

this place. The cof_ n is borne from the house and placed in the lakian. During the day, there
were also buffalo matches. They were great matches. In the night, we were feasting, chanting,
and dancing.
On the last day, the grandpa’s cof_ n were lowered from the funeral tower and brought up
to the mountain side family graveyard. It was followed by great shouting and excitement from the
relatives and the guests. Finally, we installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony where other
puppets representing the members of a whole family were already there.
The funeral ceremonies made my family and me tired. However, we were grateful because
it ran smoothly.

Kyai Jegod
Once upon a time there was a king
who ruled Mataram Kingdom. His name is
Amangkurat IV. He was the grandfather of
Sultan. He often meditated in a nearby forest,
called Garjitawati.
One day, when a gardener was gathering
grass for his cattle in the forest, he looked for
some water because it was so hot. He found a
small pond and when he was going to drink some water from it, a dragon came out of the underwater,
but it was so friendly to him. The dragon said that if Sultan wanted to build his palace, it
was supposed to be located in that forest. Then it disappeared.
Then Sultan started to build the palace in that forest. He demanded strong and old woods
and the forest where those woods lied was said to be home of genies and spirits. His lumberjacks
could not _ nd anything to eat and the only thing they could have were some rice and water for
three days, or sometimes they could not have anything.
Then Sultan ordered that the main pole in the palace’s hall had to be built from special
wood, which would give strong impression. One night, a servant who was sleeping in the forest
heard loud and deep voice. The voice introduced itself as Kyai Jegod. The servant saw that Kyai
Jegod was an old, tall, and massive tree. He said that he would voluntarily let himself be cut to
make the main pole so that he could stay inside it forever.
The servant told it to Sultan and Sultan let Kyai Jegod stay inside it forever, while Kyai Jegod
became the protector of that palace since then.

Study the following notes.
The text in Task 14 is a narrative text that entertains and instructs the readers. It entertains
because it deals with the unusual and unexpected development of events. It instructs because
it teaches readers that problems should be confronted, and attempts made to resolve them. The
text incorporates patterns of behaviour that are generally highly valued.
The text is organized to include:
- a stage that introduces the main character/s in a setting of time and place;
- a sequence of events, which may begin in a usual pattern, is changed in some way so that
the pattern of events becomes a problem for one or more of the characters. The events are
evaluated by the character/s, thus making it clear to the reader that a crisis has developed;
- the problem is resolved or attempted to be resolved; and
- a stage which makes explicit how the character has changed and what has been learned
from the experience.
The grammatical features include:
- use of particular nouns to refer or to describe the particular people, animals and things that
the story is about;
- use of adjectives to build noun groups to describe the people, animals or things in the story;
- use of time connectives and conjunctions to sequence events through time;
- use of adverbs and adverbial phrases to locate the particular events;
- use of past tense action verbs to indicate the actions; and
- use of saying and thinking verbs to indicate what characters are feeling, thinking or saying.
Rearrange the jumbled paragraphs of the story entitled Nyi Roro Kidul into a good text by numbering
the paragraphs. Look at the example.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess named Kadita. Because of
her beauty she was called Dewi Srengenge. It means The Beautiful Sun. Her
father was King Munding Wangi. Although he had a beautiful daughter, he was
unhappy. It is because he always expected to have a son.

Make a summary of the story entitled Princess Loro Jonggrang below.
The Legend of Princess Loro Jonggrang
Once upon a time in Java Island, especially in Prambanan, there were two Hindu kingdoms, they
were Pengging and Kraton Boko. Pengging Kingdom was a prosperous and wealthy kingdom led
by a wise king named Prabu Damar Moyo who had a son named Raden Bandung Bondowoso.
Kraton Boko was a part of Pengging Kingdom jurisdiction led by a cruel king that was not
a man but a giant who was a man eater, named Prabu Boko. However, Prabu Boko had a very
beautiful daughter named Princess Loro Jonggrang. Prabu Boko also had a minister named Patih
Gupolo that was a giant too. Prabu Boko had a desire to revolt and had control over Pengging
Kingdom. Therefore, together with Patih Boko, they gathered the power by training men to become
soldiers and collected goods from civil people as provisions.

86 Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students X
After having enough preparation, Prabu Boko and all soldiers went to Pengging Kingdom to
revolt. Then the war between Pengging and Boko Soldier happened in Pengging kingdom. A lot of
soldiers died from both sides. People of Pengging became poor and suffered from starvation.
Knowing that his people were suffering and there were lots of soldiers died, Prabu Damar
Moyo sent his son, Raden Bandung Bondowoso to have a battle with Prabu Boko. The _ ghting
between Raden Bandung Bondowoso and Prabu Boko was very furious. Because of the power of
Raden Bandung Bondowoso, Prabu Boko can be defeated, and then he died. When Patih Gupalo
found out that his king died, he ran away from the battle. Raden Bandung Bondowoso chased
him to Kraton Boko.
After he arrived at Kraton Boko, Patih Gupalo reported to Princess Loro Jonggrang that her
father died in the battle, that he was killed by a Pengging knight named Raden Bandung Bondowoso.
Then the princess cried, she was very sad because of the death of her father.
Raden Bandung Bondowoso _ nally arrived at Kraton Boko. He was surprised when he saw
Princess Loro Jonggrang, She was very beautiful so he proposed her to become his wife. However,
Princess Loro Jonggrang did not want to marry Raden Bandung Bondowoso because he killed her
father. To refuse his proposal, Princess Loro Jonggrang had a strategy. She had two requests that
should be ful_ lled by Raden Bandung Bondowoso so that she would agree to marry him. First, she
asked him to make Jalatunda well. Then, she asked him to make 1000 temples in one night.
Raden Bandung Bondowoso accepted the requests. Immediately he started to make Jalatunda
well and asked Princess Loro Jonggrang to see it. Then, Princess Loro Jonggrang asked Raden
Bandung Bondowoso to go into the well, and after that she ordered Patih Gupolo to pile up the well
with stone. Both Princess Loro Jonggrang and Patih
Gupolo thought that Raden Bandung Bondowoso
already died in the well. However, Raden Bandung
Bondowoso was still alive. He meditated and _ nally
he could get out from the well safely.
Raden Bandung Bondowoso was very angry
with Princess Loro Jonggrang. However, because
of her beauty, he soon forgot about his anger. After
that, Princess Loro Jonggrang asked Raden Bandung
Bondowoso to do the second request which was to
make 1000 temples in one night. Therefore Raden
Bandung Bondowoso commanded genies to make
the temples immediately. However Princess Loro Jonggrang intended to foil his effort to make
the temples. She ordered the girls to pound and burn stubbles, so that the sky looked bright as
if the morning had come. That made the cocks crow loudly.
Hearing the cocks crowing, people pounding rice, and seeing the brightness in the east, the
genies stopped making temples. Genies reported to Raden Bandung Bondowoso that they could
not continue building the temples because the morning had come. Raden Bandung Bondowoso
got the feeling that the morning had not come yet. He asked Princess Loro Jonggrang to count the
amount of the temples. The total was only 999 temples, so there was still 1 temple left. Therefore,
Princess Loro Jonggrang refused to marry Raden Bandung Bondowoso. Feeling deceived, Raden
Bandung Bondowoso was very angry and cursed her, “Loro Jonggrang, there is only 1 temple left,
let you be the one to make it complete”. It was a miracle that suddenly Princess Loro Jonggrang
transformed to a stone statue.
I’m Delighted to Hear That. 87
Until today, the stone statue of Princess Loro Jonggrang
is still in Candi Prambanan and Raden Bandung
Bondowoso cursed the girls around Prambanan area to
become old virgins because they helped Princess Loro
Jonggrang. Based on what is believed by old people,
the couple who are dating in Prambanan temple will
break up.

The Football Match
My brother and I went to a football match yesterday. Our school team was playing against
another High School team. Our team wore red and white shirts, white shorts, and red stockings.
The other team wore orange and black shirts, orange shorts, and black stockings. “They look
like bees“, my brother said, and we laughed.
They played like bees too. They ran very fast, attacked very hard, and passed the ball
to each other very fast. Soon they scored their _ rst goal. My brother and I shouted and shouted,
“Come on, Valley School! Come on, the Valleys!” Our headmaster was near us and he was
shouting too. He seemed very enthusiastic. However, the high school scored another goal. We
were very sad.
Then, one of the “bees” stopped the ball with one of his hands, so our team got the
free kick. Our captain took it and scored a goal. We shouted, “Hooray!” The score was now 2:1.
That was better.
Now our team began to play better—or the “bees” were getting tired. Our team scored
another goal before half-time. In the second half of the match, both teams tried very hard, but
neither scored, so at the end the score was still two all.

Questions 21 - 30 are based on the following text.
Queen Aji Bidara Putih
Muara Kaman lies along the Mahakam River, in eastern Borneo. In the past the area was
a kingdom ruled by Queen Aji Bidara Putih. She was a typical queen of myths: beautiful, wise,
and sensitive. Many princes and kings proposed to her but she always refused them because
she was more concerned with ruling her country and guarding her people.
One day, a Chinese boat came to eastern Borneo. First, the people thought it was a merchant
ship but the boat was loaded with trade goods and highly trained soldiers. Their envoys brought
gold and porcelain to announce the marriage proposal from a prince of China. The queen didn’t
refuse instantly and replied that she had to ponder the proposal _ rst. After the envoys left the
palace, the queen called a court of_ cer and ordered him to in_ ltrate the Chinese boat to gather
information on the prince.
When night fell the of_ cer sneaked onto the boat, got by all the guards, and _ nally found
the prince’s room. The large door would not open and he couldn’t _ nd a peek hole, so the of_ cer
put his ear to the wall, trying to catch sounds from inside. He heard that the prince was having
his dinner and the noise of his chewing and slurping surprised the of_ cer. It was like a boar that
he had once heard when he was hunting.
He quickly left the boat and returned to the palace. He reported that the prince must have
been a phantom, not a human. He believed that the phantom could be in a human’s form only
during the daytime. The queen was so surprised and got angry. On the next day, she refused his
proposal.
The enraged prince ordered his troops to raid Muara Kaman. The battle was won by the
prince’s huge band of troops. As they drew near to the palace, Queen Aji Bidara Putih chewed a
leaf of betel vine and sang a mantra while holding it. When she threw it at the Chinese troops, it
turned to giant centipedes. The Chinese troops started to retreat but three centipedes chased
them and sank the boat. The site of the sunken ship is now known as Danau Lipan (Lake of
Centipedes), with Chinese treasures hidden on the lake’s bed.

The Snow Bride
Many years ago, when great forests still covered the hills
of Japan, a samurai named Hikaru lost his way in a sudden
winter storm. Snow pellets sharp as spears pierced his cloak
and drove him blindly into the deep woods.
Cold stalked him, and he had no weapon to battle this invisible
enemy. Finally his horse burst into a clearing. The wind
rattled the tree limbs, but no snow fell here. A wooden house
squatted beside a huge camphor tree. The snow was a smooth
white carpet. This quiet place seemed peaceful enough, but he
sensed someone watching, waiting in silence.
A door opened. A white-haired woman studied him. Holding
out her arms, she murmured, “Welcome, my lord. Enter and
feel no fear.”
Hikaru smiled. He had killed fear long ago. But his horse ran away from the tiny hut. The
samurai pulled the reins and drove it forward until the horse reluctantly moved forward. He
found a lean-to built on the side of the hut, sheltered on one side by the hut and on the other by
the tree. When his mount discovered some hay, its hunger drove out all fear. He left the animal
peacefully grazing and went to _ nd his hostess.
2. Read and Write
Task 10
104 Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students X
The hut was simply furnished, though _ relight created a golden sparkle off the dishes and
cups she set before him. Where had this woman found such luxuries, he wondered as she silently
served him.
After he had eaten, he _ xed his eyes on her. “Who are you?”
She kept her gaze modestly lowered. “I am called Yuki, my lord. This place is my home.”
Yuki glided around the room in a silken whisper. Gradually he became aware of how quiet
the woods had become. “Are you not lonely here?”
Her lips quirked in a shadow of a smile. “You are here, my lord. As long as you are pleased
with me, how could I be lonely?”
Time passed, but it was always winter. Hikaru forgot everything but the lovely woman who
anticipated his wants. As soon as he thought, “I want – “ Yuki was there, offering food and drink
to _ ll his belly or song to soothe his soul. Yet men are never content. For a warrior, even an earthly
paradise can become a wicked prison.
One day, Hikaru woke with anger. Nothing Yuki said or did pleased him.
Dashing dishes off the table, the tiny crashes echoed how he’d destroyed his enemies in
the past. The memory in_ amed his temper. Enough of this quiet and inaction! He could _ nd
that in death.
“My lord, tell me how I have displeased you. I – ”
“You, woman!” he snapped. “You’ve kept me prisoner in this place far too long!”
He rushed to the door and _ ung it open. A cold breeze brushed his cheek. Yuki grasped
his sleeve. “My lord! Do not leave!”
“Enough!” The samurai jerked from her grip. Rage boiled in his heart as he backhanded
her. “Out of my way, woman!”
“As you wish.” The mark of his hand seemed a dark bruise on her pale skin. “I will bother
you no more.” Head bowed, Yuki stepped aside. The door swung shut between them.
A low moan shuddered amongst the trees. Wind whipped his helm from his head and his
cloak off his shoulders. Cold knifed his body, just beneath the heart.
“Yuki?” Blinded, Hikaru stumbled backwards, but tree bark scraped his questing hands.
Where was the hut? It was cold, so cold.
Spring came late that year. Birdsong welcomed the sun’s return. The golden _ ngers of the
goddess Amateratsu caressed the still alabaster face of the sleeping man. But he never wakened.
As she continued her journey across the sky, cherry trees covered the silken clad form with tiny
pink-edged petals, a living blanket of snow.

Rearrange the jumbled paragraphs of the story of Bloody Mary from Pennsylvania into a good
text by numbering the paragraphs. Look at the example.
Once upon a time, there was a maiden lived deep in the forest in a tiny cottage.
She sold herbal remedies for a living. Folks living in the town nearby called
her Bloody Mary, and said she was a witch. None dared cross her cottage for
fear that their cows would go dry, their food-stores rot away before winter, their
children take sick of fever, or any number of terrible things that an angry witch
could do to her neighbours.

The desperate cries of the miller and his wife woke the neighbours. They came
to assist the frantic couple. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed farmer gave a shout and
pointed towards a strange light at the edge of the woods. A few townsmen
followed him out into the _ eld and saw Bloody Mary standing beside a large
oak tree, holding a magic stick that was pointed towards the miller’s house.
She was glowing with an unearthly light as she set her evil spell upon the
miller’s daughter.
paragraph ….
Then came the night when the daughter of the miller rose from her bed and
walked outside, following an enchanted sound no one else could hear. The
miller’s wife had a toothache and was sitting up in the kitchen treating the
tooth with an herbal remedy when her daughter left the house. She screamed
for her husband and followed the girl out of the door. The miller came running
in his nightshirt. Together, they tried to restrain the girl, but she kept breaking
away from them and heading out of town.
paragraph ….
As she burned, Bloody Mary screamed a curse at the villagers. If anyone
mentioned her name aloud before a mirror, she would send her spirit to revenge
herself upon them for her terrible death. When she was dead, the villagers went
to the house in the wood and found the unmarked graves of the little girls the
evil witch had murdered. She had used their blood to make her young again.
paragraph ….
Then the little girls in the village began to disappear, one by one. No one could
_ nd out where they had gone. Grief-stricken families searched the woods, the
local buildings, and all the houses and barns, but there was no sign of the
missing girls. A few brave souls even went to Bloody Mary’s home in the woods
to see if the witch had taken the girls, but she denied any knowledge of the
disappearances. Still, it was noted that her haggard appearance had changed.
She looked younger, more attractive. The neighbours were suspicious, but they
could _ nd no proof that the witch had taken their young ones.
paragraph ….
From that day to this, anyone foolish enough to chant Bloody Mary’s name three
times before a darkened mirror will summon the vengeful spirit of the witch.
It is said that she will tear their bodies to pieces and rip their souls from their
mutilated bodies. The souls of these unfortunate ones will burn in torment as
Bloody Mary once was burned, and they will be trapped forever in the mirror.
paragraph ….
The townsmen grabbed their guns and their pitchforks and ran toward the
witch. When she heard the commotion, Bloody Mary broke off her spell and
_ ed back into the woods. The far-sighted farmer had loaded his gun with silver
bullets in case the witch ever came after his daughter. Now he took aim and
shot at her. The bullet hit Bloody Mary in the hip and she fell to the ground.
The angry townsmen leapt upon her and carried her back into the _ eld, where
they built a huge bon_ re and burned her at the stake.

Cinderella
Once upon a time, there lived an unhappy young girl. She was unhappy because her
mother was dead, and her father had married another woman, a widow with two daughters. Her
stepmother didn’t like her. All the nice things, kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own
daughters. Not just the kind thoughts and love, but also dresses, shoes, delicious food, comfy
beds, as well as every home comfort. All this was laid on for her daughters. For the poor unhappy
girl, there was nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters’ hand-me-downs. No lovely dishes,
nothing but scraps. No nice rests and comfort. For she had to work hard all day, and only when
evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the _ re, near the cinders. That is how she got
her nickname, for everybody called her Cinderella. Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone
talking to the cat. The cat said,
“Meow”, which really meant, “Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters
have and that is beauty.”
It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in rags with a dusty gray face from the cinders,
she was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes,
were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be.
One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at Court and the
stepsisters were getting ready to go to it. Cinderella, didn’t even dare ask, “What about me?” for
she knew very well what the answer to that would be:
“You? My dear girl, you’re staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the _ oors and turn
down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy.” Cinderella sighed
at the cat.
“Oh dear, I’m so unhappy!” and the cat murmured “Meow”.
Suddenly something amazing happened. In the kitchen, where Cinderella was sitting all by
herself, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared.
“Don’t be alarmed, Cinderella,” said the fairy. “The wind blew me your sighs. I know you
would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!”
“How can I, dressed in rags?” Cinderella replied. “The servants will turn me away!” The fairy
Task 16
It Was The Least I Could Do. 109
smiled. With a _ ick of her magic wand, Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress,
the loveliest ever seen in the realm.
“Now that we have settled the matter of the dress,” said the fairy, “we’ll need to get you a
cart. A real lady would never go to a ball on foot!” “Quick! Get me a pumpkin!” she ordered.
“Oh of course,” said Cinderella, rushing away. Then the fairy turned to the cat.
“You, bring me seven mice!”
“Seven mice!” said the cat. “I didn’t know fairies ate mice too!”
“They’re not for eating, silly! Do as you are told! And, remember they must be alive!”
Cinderella soon returned with a _ ne
pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he
had caught in the cellar.
“Good!” exclaimed the fairy. With
a flick of her magic wand... wonder of
wonders! The pumpkin turned into a
sparkling cart and the mice became six
white horses, while the seventh mouse
turned into a coachman, in a smart uniform
and carrying a whip. Cinderella could
hardly believe her eyes.
“I shall present you at Court. You will
soon see that the Prince, in whose honour the ball is being held,
will be enchanted by your loveliness. But remember! You must
leave the ball at midnight and come home. For that is when the
spell ends. Your cart will turn back into a pumpkin, the horses will
become mice again and the coachman will turn back into a mouse
and you will be dressed again in rags and wearing clogs instead of
these beautiful slippers! Do you understand?” Cinderella smiled
and said, “Yes, I understand!”
When Cinderella entered the ballroom at the palace, a hush
fell. Everyone stopped in mid-sentence to admire her elegance,
her beauty and grace.
“Who can that be?” people asked each
other. The two stepsisters also wondered who
the newcomer was, for never in a month of
Sundays, would they ever have guessed that
the beautiful girl was really poor Cinderella who
talked to the cat!
When the prince set eyes on Cinderella,
he was struck by her beauty. Walking over to
her, he bowed deeply and asked her to dance.
And to the great disappointment of all the
young ladies, he danced with Cinderella all
evening.
“Who are you, fair maiden?” the Prince kept asking her. But Cinderella only replied:
“What does it matter who I am! You will never see me again anyway.”
“Oh, but I shall, I’m quite certain!” he replied.
110 Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students X
Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball. But, all of a sudden, she heard the sound of a
clock: the _ rst stroke of midnight! She remembered what the fairy had said, and without a word
of goodbye she slipped from the Prince’s arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she lost one
of her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the last stroke
of midnight were to sound... oh... what a disaster that would be! Out she _ ed and vanished into
the night.
The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up her slipper and said to his
ministers,
“Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper _ ts. I will never be content
until I _ nd her!” So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of all the girls and on Cinderella’s
foot as well. Surprise! The slipper _ tted perfectly.
“That awful untidy girl simply cannot have been at the ball,” snapped the stepmother. “Tell
the Prince he ought to marry one of my two daughters! Can’t you see how ugly Cinderella is! Can’t
you see?”
Suddenly she broke off, for the fairy had appeared.
“That’s enough!” she exclaimed, raising her magic stick. In a _ ash, Cinderella appeared in
a splendid dress, shining with youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in
amazement, and the ministers said,
“Come with us, fair maiden! The Prince awaits to present you with his engagement ring!”
So Cinderella joyfully went with them, and lived happily ever after with her Prince. And as for the
cat, he just said “Meow”!

Study the rule below.
In the story of Cinderella in Task 16 you _ nd sentences:
“Now that we have settled the matter of dress, …”
“ … and her father had married another woman, …”
The _ rst sentence is called Present Perfect and the second sentence is called Past Perfect.
Present Perfect have/has + V3
We use the present perfect to give new information or to announce a recent happening.
For example:
Denias has lived in Jakarta for seven years.
The students have not cleaned the classroom for days.
Past perfect had + V3
We use the past perfect to say something had already happened before this time.
For example:
Arnys had just got home when Virga phoned her.
Retno had seen The Calon Arang drama twice.

Asian Beach Games to cost Rp300 billion
Thursday, January 31, 2008
The _ rst Asian Beach Games, which will be held in Bali from October 18-26, will cost an
estimated Rp300 billion (around US$32 million), says National Sports Council (KONI) chairwoman
Rita Subowo.
Rita said here Wednesday that the organizing committee and KONI would strive to secure the
funding from the government and sponsors. “The Coordinating Ministry for the People’s Welfare
will provide Rp100 billion,” Rita said. “A New Zealand apparel company has signed an agreement
with the organizing company to provide a sponsorship of $1.5 million.” Rita said she was hopeful
KONI and the organizing committee would _ nd other sponsors to cover the budget.
“We are still negotiating with local and other international companies to sponsor the tournament.
Some of them probably will support us in cash, while some others will provide equipment,
like computers,” she said, adding that the organizing committee would use Ernst & Young as its
_ nancial adviser.
The Asian Beach Games is a multisport event that will be held every two years for athletes
representing 45 countries from across Asia. A total of 17 sports disciplines, including beach soccer,
volleyball, sepak takraw, jet skiing, sur_ ng and sailing will be included in the Games.
To _ nance the training of Indonesian athletes participating in the event, Rita said the State
Ministry for Youth and Sports Affairs would provide some Rp15 billion, which is not included in
the Rp300 billion budget for organizing the Games. (trw)

Simon Stuns Tau_ k in Malaysia
The Jakarta Post, Friday, January 18, 2008
Indonesia’s No. 1 Tau_ k Hidayat saw his hopes of collecting the _ rst title this year dashed
by his junior compatriot Simon Santoso in the second round of the US$200,000 Malaysia Open
Super Series badminton tournament in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
174 Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students X
The 2004 Olympic gold medallist was routed by the _ tter Simon in 40 minutes 21-18, 21-
16. He refused to make any excuse. “There is no excuse for my bad performance today. I simply
lost,” he was quoted as saying by AFP.
With the victory, Simon advanced to the quarter_ nals to take on top seed Lee Chong Wei of
Malaysia. Lee secured semi _ nal berth after beating Przemyslaw Wacha of Poland 21-5, 15-21,
21-8 in 43 minutes. Lee has beaten Simon twice, the last time was at the French Super Series last
November where he also became the eventual winner. Simon is the lone prospect for Indonesia in
men’s singles after Andre Kurniawan Tedjono fell to eighth seed Chen Yu of China 13-21, 9-21.
In mixed doubles, world champion Nova Widianto and Lilyana Natsir took another step
toward the quarter_ nals after beating German’s pair Ingo Kindervater and Kathrin Piotrowski
21-11, 21-23, 21-19. They will play Korean duo Lee Yong
Dae and Lee Hyo Jung in the quarter_ nal. The Korean
pair defeated Danish duo Thomas Laybourn and Kamilla
Rytter Juhl 21-15, 20-22, 21-19. This would be the _ rst
encounter for the Indonesians and the Koreans.
“They are a new pair. Korea has repeatedly made
changes in their doubles pairings. We never met them
before,” Nova said as quoted by Antara. “It will be an interesting
game. But, we are optimistic to win the match,”
he said.
Meanwhile, Indonesia also saw its best prospects in
women’s doubles tumble during the second round of the
tournament. Jo Novita and Greysia Polii were trounced
by Korean pair Lee Won Kyung and Lee Hyo Jung 18-21,
10-21 in 41 minutes, while teammates Lilyana Natsir and
Vita Marissa fell to Miyuki Maeda and Satoko Suetsuna
of Japan 19-21, 16-21 in 45 minutes.

Questions 14 – 20 are based on the following text.
The White Butter_ y
An old man named Takahama lived in a little house behind the cemetery of the temple
of Sozanji. He was extremely friendly and generally liked by his neighbours, though most of them
considered him a little mad. That was because he was very old but he did not want to get married.
He did not have the desire for intimate relationship with women.
One summer day he became very ill, so ill, in fact, that he sent for his sister-in-law and her
son. They both came and did all they could to bring comfort during his last hours. While Takahama
fell asleep, they watched a large white butter_ y _ ew into the room and rested on the old man’s
pillow. The young man tried to drive it away with a fan; but it came back three times, as if it was
very loath to leave the sufferer.
At last Takahama’s nephew chased it out into the garden, through the gate, and into the
cemetery beyond, where it lingered over a woman’s tomb, and then mysteriously disappeared.
On examining the tomb the young man found the name “Akiko” written upon it, together with a
description narrating how Akiko died when she was eighteen. Though the tomb was covered with
moss and must have been erected _ fty years previously, the boy saw that it was surrounded with
_ owers, and that the little water tank had been recently _ lled.
When the young man returned to the house he found that Takahama had passed away,
and he returned to his mother and told her what he had seen in the cemetery.
“Akiko?” murmured his mother. “When your uncle was young he was betrothed to Akiko.
She died shortly before her wedding day. When Akiko left this world your uncle resolved never to
marry, and to live ever near her grave. For all these years he has remained faithful to his vow, and
kept in his heart all the sweet memories of his one and only love. Every day Takahama went to
the cemetery, whether the air was fragrant with summer breeze or thick with falling snow. Every
day he went to her grave and prayed for her happiness, swept the tomb and set _ owers there.
When Takahama was dying, and he could no longer perform his loving task, Akiko came for him.
That white butter_ y was her sweet and loving soul.”

Questions 21 – 26 are based on the folowing text.
My Very Best Friends
I believe that a friend is an angel who lifts us off our feet when our wings have trouble
remembering how to _ y. It means that our friends are people who will always be there for us
any time we need them.
I’m so lucky because I have three best friends. They are Firsty, Ronald and Jonathan.
We have known each other since we were four years old. We met in the kindergarten. Since
then, we always go to the same school. Moreover, our houses are still in the same block. We
do everything together. Our motto is “United we stand, divided we fall”. It means “together we
are stronger”. Now, let me introduce my friends one by one.
Firsty is the youngest among us because she was born in December. We call her “The
Sweety Firsty”. Her father is French. She is tall and slim. She’s about 171 cm. She has long
straight hair. Actually the color of her hair is blonde. However, she dyed her hair black since
last year. She has beautiful blue eyes, an oval face and pointed nose. “The Sweety Firsty” is a
cheerful, con_ dent, and determined girl. However, she is a little bit careless and stubborn. She
has many cats in her house. There are about nine cats. She loves them all. One of her favourite
is a little orange cat. She calls her ‘Shinny’. Firsty loves to dance and sing. Nevertheless, she
wants to be a model.
Ronald’s nickname is Ron. Most of girls in our school love and adore him. There’s
no doubt about his good looking. We call him “The Charming Ron”. His height is 176 cm. Ron
has straight hair and perfect face. He is an intelligent and introvert person. Above all, he is
humble. He was crowned as The Best Student this year. He won so many prizes on Math,
Chemistry and Physic competition. However, his favourite subject is Chemistry. He wants to
be a chemist someday.
Jonathan is a funny person. He can always _ nd a way to make the people around
him laugh. I wonder what it is in his head for he can create jokes spontaneously. Jonathan’s
nick name is Jo. He is plump. He’s about 168 cm tall. His weight is 80 kg. That’s why we call
him “The Big Jo”. He has a round face with brown eyes. His spiky hairstyle makes him easily
recognized. Jo is a humorous, friendly and an easy going person. He is a movie freak. He would
never miss any new movie in the cinema. He dreams of becoming a famous actor one day.
About me? Well, my name is Hana. I’m the shortest one among them. I’m about 160
cm tall. I have long wavy hair with round face. My friends call me “The Chubby Hana” because
I also have a chubby check. Most people, even my parents say that I’m a careful, generous
and diligent person. They also say that I’m a bit sensitive. I love painting. I spend much time
in my small studio just painting.
That’s all about me and friends of mine. Even though we are quite different, we love
each other and will keep this relationship for good.

Inul aims to drill after haj
JAKARTA: Dangdut singer Inul Daratista says she will not stop performing her raunchy
hip-gyrating dance, “the drill” after recently completing a spiritual pilgrimage to Mecca.
“Uztad (cleric) advised me to run my business as usual after the haj. He only told me
to stop if I was too tired. How am I supposed to feed my family if I don’t sing and dance?” said
the singer whose dancing was once the source of a major controversy here.
Inul said she wouldn’t be changing her typically-tight stage out_ ts like many other
actresses and female singers who start wearing headscarves after coming back from the haj.
“ ….. (the costume) depends on the songs: If I was ordered to sing qasyidah (Arabic
songs). I’d have to adjust. “Inul said quoted by Detikcom.
Unit Review Semester 2 183
Inul who travelled to Mecca with her husband, Adam Suseno, said they had been
impressed by the beauty of the city and were planning to make a return trip within the next
four months.
“Next year, four months from now, we’ll take the umroh (minor haj program), “ she said.

Task 10
Last year, my family and I visited our relatives in Greece. We _ ew to Athens via
Singapore. After two hours from Athens, we arrived in Hydra where our relatives were.
The interesting thing about Hydra is that no vehicle allowed. We have to walk to get
anywhere. People often get around on horses or mules. After Hydra, we visited Satorini
by ferry. Then we took a high speed catamaran to Mykonos. At least in Mykonos they
have taxis and buses so we did not have to walk to go everywhere. From Mykonos
we _ ew to the island of Skiathos where we spent a lovely week visiting beaches and
eating wonderful Greek food. Finally it was time to go back to Athens and end our
trip. After wandering around the old part of the city and taking lots of photos of the
Acropolis and other ancient Greek monuments and statues, we had to get my taxi
to the airport.

Sentul to host _ rst Speedcar race
Saturday, January 26, 2008
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
Indonesia will play host to the _ rst series of the US$3 million Speedcar Championships.
The Indonesian races will take place at the Sentul International Circuit in
Bogor, West Java, from Feb. 16 to 17. Indonesia will _ eld its drivers Ananda Mikola
and Moreno Soeprapto in the race.
Moreno said he hoped he would bene_ t from the home crowd and stand on the
podium. He added that if he should manage to win the race, he would be able to attract
more sponsors to help _ nance him in higher budget Formula races in the future.
The Speedcar series will feature 24 drivers behind their eight-valve cars with
620 horsepower, similar to the ones used in Nascar. Physically and skill wise, it’s more
demanding than Formula 1 as it is heavier. Speedcars weigh 1,300 kg, compared to
the 600-kg Formula car.
Moreno and Ananda will race against a number of world-class drivers, including
former Formula 1 drivers Jean Alessi and Johnny Herbert, in the races.
The speedcar championships, held in partnership with GP2 Asia, will award the
winner US$600,000. The next series will be held in Malaysia, Bahrain and Dubai.

Puji syukur kami panjatkan kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa yang telah memberi hidayah,
kekuatan, kesehatan, dan ketabahan kepada kami sehingga penyusunan bahan ajar seri
Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students ini terselesaikan.
Bahan ajar ini disusun dengan tujuan menyediakan materi pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris
untuk peserta didik kelas X sesuai dengan Standar Isi mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris 2006. Materi
dan tugas pembelajaran dikembangkan dengan prinsip-prinsip Communicative Approach untuk
secara terintegrasi mengembangkan kompetensi peserta didik dalam keempat keterampilan
berbahasa, yaitu menyimak, berbicara, membaca, dan menulis. Selain itu materi dan tugas
pembelajaran secara terpadu mengembangkan kecakapan hidup dalam arti luas dan peningkatan
wawasan kebinekaan.
Materi dan tugas-tugas pembelajaran dalam bahan ajar ini diorganisasikan ke dalam dua
siklus pembelajaran, yaitu siklus lisan dan siklus tulis. Sementara siklus lisan menekankan
pengembangan keterampilan berbahasa lisan (menyimak dan berbicara), siklus tulis
mengembangkan keterampilan dalam berbahasa tulis (membaca dan menulis). Sesuai dengan
prinsip keterpaduan dalam pembelajaran bahasa, kedua siklus tersebut mengembangkan
keempat keterampilan berbahasa secara terintegrasi. Baik siklus lisan maupun siklus tulis
tersusun atas empat macam kegiatan pembelajaran, yaitu pembuka, pajanan terhadap bahasa
target, penjelasan mengenai unsur-unsur kebahasaan, dan latihan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa
target secara terbimbing maupun bebas. Selain itu, untuk keperluan pengayaan dan evaluasi,
setiap unit dilengkapi dengan tugas terstruktur berupa pekerjaan rumah dan review.
Kegiatan-kegiatan belajar dikembangkan untuk menjadikan siswa secara aktif belajar Bahasa
Inggris melalui kegiatan memahami dan menggunakan bahasa Inggris untuk mengekspresikan
gagasan dan perasaan secara alami. Dalam pembelajaran, guru diharapkan bertindak sebagai
fasilitator, pemberi umpan balik, dan pendorong siswa agar berani menggunakan bahasa target
untuk berkomunikasi secara akurat dan berterima.
Penyusunan buku ajar ini terselesaikan atas dukungan dari berbagai pihak. Oleh karena itu,
kami mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua pihak yang telah membantu terselesaikannya
penyusunan buku ini.
Walaupun kami telah menyusun bahan ajar ini dengan upaya yang sungguh-sungguh,
karena berbagai keterbatasan kami, buku ini masih memiliki sejumlah kekurangan. Sehubungan
dengan hal tersebut, kami mengharapkan masukan dari berbagai pihak, terutama guru dan siswa
pengguna buku ini, untuk perbaikan lebih lanjut.

Joining the Traditional Dance Competition
I joined the Traditional Dance Competition in Jakarta last
year. I represented my Junior High School. It was my biggest
competition. I practised hard with my teacher for a month.
We also prepared the best costume we had.
We only had one day in Jakarta. We went there by plane.
We left at 6 a.m. and arrived in Jakarta at 7 a.m. We took a taxi
to take us to the place where the competition was held. It took
an hour to get there. There were already some participants
when we arrived. The competition would start in an hour.
First, my teacher and I went to the dressing room. My
teacher helped me do the make-up and the costume. We
spent almost an hour for the preparation. I told my teacher
that I was really nervous. I was not ready for this. However,
she told me that everything was alright, and I felt better.
Then, the time came for me to perform on stage. There
were fi ve judges and about two hundred people watching me. However, I did not feel nervous
anymore. I performed on the stage confi dently. I really did the best I could. I was glad when it
ended smoothly.
After that, we waited for the announcement of the result. It was 4 p.m. when the judges
fi nished making their fi nal decision. I was so impatient to hear the result. I still could not believe
when they called my name as the fi rst winner. I was so happy to be given the trophy. My teacher
was also proud of my achievement. Finally, we went back to Yogyakarta in the evening. We were
so tired. However, we were satisfi ed because our effort was not useless.

Swimming
When I was a boy, I liked swimming very much. Each year my two brothers and I spent
the holiday with our uncle and aunt in their house by the sea. It was only twenty yards from the
water. The water was warm, the sun shone brightly, and most days there were no waves. In the
middle of the day a wind always began to blow, but it was not strong and did not make the sea
rough.
One day, we put on our swimming-shorts before breakfast. Then, we ran down to the sea
across the sand and jumped in. We were in the sea or on the beach until late at night. When our
aunt rang a bell, we went back to the house for food, but we ate it in our swimming-shorts and
soon went back in the sea again. We were all very good swimmers. We dived through the waves
or rode towards the beach on top of them until we were tired and hungry.

My Grandpa’s Funeral in Toraja
Last month my family
and I went to Toraja to attend
Grandpa’s funeral.
It was my fi rst time to go
to such a ceremony. We
gathered there with our
kin in the ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony
was quite elaborate. It
took about a week. Several
days before the ceremony
was done, grandpa’s
body was kept in a series
of houses arranged in a
circular row around an
open fi eld called tongkonan. His corpse was dressed in a fi ne wearing.
The funeral was performed in two phases. First, we slaughtered the pigs and buffaloes,
and then moved the corpse to face north. In this ceremony we wore black clothes. After that, the
corpse was placed in a sandal wood coffi n. Then, it was brought out of the house and placed on
an open platform beneath the granary. Meanwhile, my uncle, my brother, and I prepared the
wooden puppet and a funeral tower called lakian. The next phase of the ceremony was held in
Task 12

this place. The coffi n is borne from the house and placed in the lakian. During the day, there
were also buffalo matches. They were great matches. In the night, we were feasting, chanting,
and dancing.
On the last day, the grandpa’s coffi n were lowered from the funeral tower and brought up
to the mountain side family graveyard. It was followed by great shouting and excitement from the
relatives and the guests. Finally, we installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony where other
puppets representing the members of a whole family were already there.
The funeral ceremonies made my family and me tired. However, we were grateful because
it ran smoothly.

Kyai Jegod
Once upon a time there was a king
who ruled Mataram Kingdom. His name is
Amangkurat IV. He was the grandfather of
Sultan. He often meditated in a nearby forest,
called Garjitawati.
One day, when a gardener was gathering
grass for his cattle in the forest, he looked for
some water because it was so hot. He found a
small pond and when he was going to drink some water from it, a dragon came out of the underwater,
but it was so friendly to him. The dragon said that if Sultan wanted to build his palace, it
was supposed to be located in that forest. Then it disappeared.
Then Sultan started to build the palace in that forest. He demanded strong and old woods
and the forest where those woods lied was said to be home of genies and spirits. His lumberjacks
could not fi nd anything to eat and the only thing they could have were some rice and water for
three days, or sometimes they could not have anything.
Then Sultan ordered that the main pole in the palace’s hall had to be built from special
wood, which would give strong impression. One night, a servant who was sleeping in the forest
heard loud and deep voice. The voice introduced itself as Kyai Jegod. The servant saw that Kyai
Jegod was an old, tall, and massive tree. He said that he would voluntarily let himself be cut to
make the main pole so that he could stay inside it forever.
The servant told it to Sultan and Sultan let Kyai Jegod stay inside it forever, while Kyai Jegod
became the protector of that palace since then.

Study the following notes.
The text in Task 14 is a narrative text that entertains and instructs the readers. It entertains
because it deals with the unusual and unexpected development of events. It instructs because
it teaches readers that problems should be confronted, and attempts made to resolve them. The
text incorporates patterns of behaviour that are generally highly valued.
The text is organized to include:
- a stage that introduces the main character/s in a setting of time and place;
- a sequence of events, which may begin in a usual pattern, is changed in some way so that
the pattern of events becomes a problem for one or more of the characters. The events are
evaluated by the character/s, thus making it clear to the reader that a crisis has developed;
- the problem is resolved or attempted to be resolved; and
- a stage which makes explicit how the character has changed and what has been learned
from the experience.
The grammatical features include:
- use of particular nouns to refer or to describe the particular people, animals and things that
the story is about;
- use of adjectives to build noun groups to describe the people, animals or things in the story;
- use of time connectives and conjunctions to sequence events through time;
- use of adverbs and adverbial phrases to locate the particular events;
- use of past tense action verbs to indicate the actions; and
- use of saying and thinking verbs to indicate what characters are feeling, thinking or saying.

Make a summary of the story entitled Princess Loro Jonggrang below.
The Legend of Princess Loro Jonggrang
Once upon a time in Java Island, especially in Prambanan, there were two Hindu kingdoms, they
were Pengging and Kraton Boko. Pengging Kingdom was a prosperous and wealthy kingdom led
by a wise king named Prabu Damar Moyo who had a son named Raden Bandung Bondowoso.
Kraton Boko was a part of Pengging Kingdom jurisdiction led by a cruel king that was not
a man but a giant who was a man eater, named Prabu Boko. However, Prabu Boko had a very
beautiful daughter named Princess Loro Jonggrang. Prabu Boko also had a minister named Patih
Gupolo that was a giant too. Prabu Boko had a desire to revolt and had control over Pengging
Kingdom. Therefore, together with Patih Boko, they gathered the power by training men to become
soldiers and collected goods from civil people as provisions.

86 Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students X
After having enough preparation, Prabu Boko and all soldiers went to Pengging Kingdom to
revolt. Then the war between Pengging and Boko Soldier happened in Pengging kingdom. A lot of
soldiers died from both sides. People of Pengging became poor and suffered from starvation.
Knowing that his people were suffering and there were lots of soldiers died, Prabu Damar
Moyo sent his son, Raden Bandung Bondowoso to have a battle with Prabu Boko. The fi ghting
between Raden Bandung Bondowoso and Prabu Boko was very furious. Because of the power of
Raden Bandung Bondowoso, Prabu Boko can be defeated, and then he died. When Patih Gupalo
found out that his king died, he ran away from the battle. Raden Bandung Bondowoso chased
him to Kraton Boko.
After he arrived at Kraton Boko, Patih Gupalo reported to Princess Loro Jonggrang that her
father died in the battle, that he was killed by a Pengging knight named Raden Bandung Bondowoso.
Then the princess cried, she was very sad because of the death of her father.
Raden Bandung Bondowoso fi nally arrived at Kraton Boko. He was surprised when he saw
Princess Loro Jonggrang, She was very beautiful so he proposed her to become his wife. However,
Princess Loro Jonggrang did not want to marry Raden Bandung Bondowoso because he killed her
father. To refuse his proposal, Princess Loro Jonggrang had a strategy. She had two requests that
should be fulfi lled by Raden Bandung Bondowoso so that she would agree to marry him. First, she
asked him to make Jalatunda well. Then, she asked him to make 1000 temples in one night.
Raden Bandung Bondowoso accepted the requests. Immediately he started to make Jalatunda
well and asked Princess Loro Jonggrang to see it. Then, Princess Loro Jonggrang asked Raden
Bandung Bondowoso to go into the well, and after that she ordered Patih Gupolo to pile up the well
with stone. Both Princess Loro Jonggrang and Patih
Gupolo thought that Raden Bandung Bondowoso
already died in the well. However, Raden Bandung
Bondowoso was still alive. He meditated and fi nally
he could get out from the well safely.
Raden Bandung Bondowoso was very angry
with Princess Loro Jonggrang. However, because
of her beauty, he soon forgot about his anger. After
that, Princess Loro Jonggrang asked Raden Bandung
Bondowoso to do the second request which was to
make 1000 temples in one night. Therefore Raden
Bandung Bondowoso commanded genies to make
the temples immediately. However Princess Loro Jonggrang intended to foil his effort to make
the temples. She ordered the girls to pound and burn stubbles, so that the sky looked bright as
if the morning had come. That made the cocks crow loudly.
Hearing the cocks crowing, people pounding rice, and seeing the brightness in the east, the
genies stopped making temples. Genies reported to Raden Bandung Bondowoso that they could
not continue building the temples because the morning had come. Raden Bandung Bondowoso
got the feeling that the morning had not come yet. He asked Princess Loro Jonggrang to count the
amount of the temples. The total was only 999 temples, so there was still 1 temple left. Therefore,
Princess Loro Jonggrang refused to marry Raden Bandung Bondowoso. Feeling deceived, Raden
Bandung Bondowoso was very angry and cursed her, “Loro Jonggrang, there is only 1 temple left,
let you be the one to make it complete”. It was a miracle that suddenly Princess Loro Jonggrang
transformed to a stone statue.
I’m Delighted to Hear That. 87
Until today, the stone statue of Princess Loro Jonggrang
is still in Candi Prambanan and Raden Bandung
Bondowoso cursed the girls around Prambanan area to
become old virgins because they helped Princess Loro
Jonggrang. Based on what is believed by old people,
the couple who are dating in Prambanan temple will
break up.

Task 8
Cultural Tips
When you are doing business in the United States, you must be on time. Americans view someone being
late as rude, showing a lack of respect and having sloppy, undisciplined personal habits. Being “on time” in
business situations generally means being about fi ve minutes early. Five minutes late is acceptable with a
brief apology. Ten to fi fteen minutes late requires a phone call to warn of the delay and to apologize.

Questions 12 - 16 are based on the following text.
The Football Match
My brother and I went to a football match yesterday. Our school team was playing against
another High School team. Our team wore red and white shirts, white shorts, and red stockings.
The other team wore orange and black shirts, orange shorts, and black stockings. “They look
like bees“, my brother said, and we laughed.
They played like bees too. They ran very fast, attacked very hard, and passed the ball
to each other very fast. Soon they scored their fi rst goal. My brother and I shouted and shouted,
“Come on, Valley School! Come on, the Valleys!” Our headmaster was near us and he was
shouting too. He seemed very enthusiastic. However, the high school scored another goal. We
were very sad.
Then, one of the “bees” stopped the ball with one of his hands, so our team got the
free kick. Our captain took it and scored a goal. We shouted, “Hooray!” The score was now 2:1.
That was better.
Now our team began to play better—or the “bees” were getting tired. Our team scored
another goal before half-time. In the second half of the match, both teams tried very hard, but
neither scored, so at the end the score was still two all.

Questions 21 - 30 are based on the following text.
Queen Aji Bidara Putih
Muara Kaman lies along the Mahakam River, in eastern Borneo. In the past the area was
a kingdom ruled by Queen Aji Bidara Putih. She was a typical queen of myths: beautiful, wise,
and sensitive. Many princes and kings proposed to her but she always refused them because
she was more concerned with ruling her country and guarding her people.
One day, a Chinese boat came to eastern Borneo. First, the people thought it was a merchant
ship but the boat was loaded with trade goods and highly trained soldiers. Their envoys brought
gold and porcelain to announce the marriage proposal from a prince of China. The queen didn’t
refuse instantly and replied that she had to ponder the proposal fi rst. After the envoys left the
palace, the queen called a court offi cer and ordered him to infi ltrate the Chinese boat to gather
information on the prince.
When night fell the offi cer sneaked onto the boat, got by all the guards, and fi nally found
the prince’s room. The large door would not open and he couldn’t fi nd a peek hole, so the offi cer
put his ear to the wall, trying to catch sounds from inside. He heard that the prince was having
his dinner and the noise of his chewing and slurping surprised the offi cer. It was like a boar that
he had once heard when he was hunting.
He quickly left the boat and returned to the palace. He reported that the prince must have
been a phantom, not a human. He believed that the phantom could be in a human’s form only
during the daytime. The queen was so surprised and got angry. On the next day, she refused his
proposal.
The enraged prince ordered his troops to raid Muara Kaman. The battle was won by the
prince’s huge band of troops. As they drew near to the palace, Queen Aji Bidara Putih chewed a
leaf of betel vine and sang a mantra while holding it. When she threw it at the Chinese troops, it
turned to giant centipedes. The Chinese troops started to retreat but three centipedes chased
them and sank the boat. The site of the sunken ship is now known as Danau Lipan (Lake of
Centipedes), with Chinese treasures hidden on the lake’s bed.

Blue Hen’s Chicks
retold by
S. E. Schlosser
A Delaware man … to war during the American Revolution. For entertainment, he … with him
two fi ghting cocks. When asked about these chickens, the soldier … slyly: “They are the chick’s
of a blue hen I have at home.”
Well, these cocks … fi ght! They were so fi erce, they … quite a stir among the men. It did
not take long for the Delaware troops to begin boasting among the troops from the other states
that they could out-fi ght anyone, just like those famous fi ghting cocks. “We’re the Blue Hen’s
Chickens. We will fi ght to the end!” … the theme of the Delaware troops. The other troops … to
calling the men from Delaware “The Blue Hen’s Chicks”, and to this day, Delaware is known as
the Blue Hen State.

The Snow Bride
Many years ago, when great forests still covered the hills
of Japan, a samurai named Hikaru lost his way in a sudden
winter storm. Snow pellets sharp as spears pierced his cloak
and drove him blindly into the deep woods.
Cold stalked him, and he had no weapon to battle this invisible
enemy. Finally his horse burst into a clearing. The wind
rattled the tree limbs, but no snow fell here. A wooden house
squatted beside a huge camphor tree. The snow was a smooth
white carpet. This quiet place seemed peaceful enough, but he
sensed someone watching, waiting in silence.
A door opened. A white-haired woman studied him. Holding
out her arms, she murmured, “Welcome, my lord. Enter and
feel no fear.”
Hikaru smiled. He had killed fear long ago. But his horse ran away from the tiny hut. The
samurai pulled the reins and drove it forward until the horse reluctantly moved forward. He
found a lean-to built on the side of the hut, sheltered on one side by the hut and on the other by
the tree. When his mount discovered some hay, its hunger drove out all fear. He left the animal
peacefully grazing and went to fi nd his hostess.
2. Read and Write
Task 10
104 Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students X
The hut was simply furnished, though fi relight created a golden sparkle off the dishes and
cups she set before him. Where had this woman found such luxuries, he wondered as she silently
served him.
After he had eaten, he fi xed his eyes on her. “Who are you?”
She kept her gaze modestly lowered. “I am called Yuki, my lord. This place is my home.”
Yuki glided around the room in a silken whisper. Gradually he became aware of how quiet
the woods had become. “Are you not lonely here?”
Her lips quirked in a shadow of a smile. “You are here, my lord. As long as you are pleased
with me, how could I be lonely?”
Time passed, but it was always winter. Hikaru forgot everything but the lovely woman who
anticipated his wants. As soon as he thought, “I want – “ Yuki was there, offering food and drink
to fi ll his belly or song to soothe his soul. Yet men are never content. For a warrior, even an earthly
paradise can become a wicked prison.
One day, Hikaru woke with anger. Nothing Yuki said or did pleased him.
Dashing dishes off the table, the tiny crashes echoed how he’d destroyed his enemies in
the past. The memory infl amed his temper. Enough of this quiet and inaction! He could fi nd
that in death.
“My lord, tell me how I have displeased you. I – ”
“You, woman!” he snapped. “You’ve kept me prisoner in this place far too long!”
He rushed to the door and fl ung it open. A cold breeze brushed his cheek. Yuki grasped
his sleeve. “My lord! Do not leave!”
“Enough!” The samurai jerked from her grip. Rage boiled in his heart as he backhanded
her. “Out of my way, woman!”
“As you wish.” The mark of his hand seemed a dark bruise on her pale skin. “I will bother
you no more.” Head bowed, Yuki stepped aside. The door swung shut between them.
A low moan shuddered amongst the trees. Wind whipped his helm from his head and his
cloak off his shoulders. Cold knifed his body, just beneath the heart.
“Yuki?” Blinded, Hikaru stumbled backwards, but tree bark scraped his questing hands.
Where was the hut? It was cold, so cold.
Spring came late that year. Birdsong welcomed the sun’s return. The golden fi ngers of the
goddess Amateratsu caressed the still alabaster face of the sleeping man. But he never wakened.
As she continued her journey across the sky, cherry trees covered the silken clad form with tiny
pink-edged petals, a living blanket of snow.

Rearrange the jumbled paragraphs of the story of Bloody Mary from Pennsylvania into a good
text by numbering the paragraphs. Look at the example.
Once upon a time, there was a maiden lived deep in the forest in a tiny cottage.
She sold herbal remedies for a living. Folks living in the town nearby called
her Bloody Mary, and said she was a witch. None dared cross her cottage for
fear that their cows would go dry, their food-stores rot away before winter, their
children take sick of fever, or any number of terrible things that an angry witch
could do to her neighbours.
paragraph 1
Task 11
Task 12
106 Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students X
The desperate cries of the miller and his wife woke the neighbours. They came
to assist the frantic couple. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed farmer gave a shout and
pointed towards a strange light at the edge of the woods. A few townsmen
followed him out into the fi eld and saw Bloody Mary standing beside a large
oak tree, holding a magic stick that was pointed towards the miller’s house.
She was glowing with an unearthly light as she set her evil spell upon the
miller’s daughter.
paragraph ….
Then came the night when the daughter of the miller rose from her bed and
walked outside, following an enchanted sound no one else could hear. The
miller’s wife had a toothache and was sitting up in the kitchen treating the
tooth with an herbal remedy when her daughter left the house. She screamed
for her husband and followed the girl out of the door. The miller came running
in his nightshirt. Together, they tried to restrain the girl, but she kept breaking
away from them and heading out of town.
paragraph ….
As she burned, Bloody Mary screamed a curse at the villagers. If anyone
mentioned her name aloud before a mirror, she would send her spirit to revenge
herself upon them for her terrible death. When she was dead, the villagers went
to the house in the wood and found the unmarked graves of the little girls the
evil witch had murdered. She had used their blood to make her young again.
paragraph ….
Then the little girls in the village began to disappear, one by one. No one could
fi nd out where they had gone. Grief-stricken families searched the woods, the
local buildings, and all the houses and barns, but there was no sign of the
missing girls. A few brave souls even went to Bloody Mary’s home in the woods
to see if the witch had taken the girls, but she denied any knowledge of the
disappearances. Still, it was noted that her haggard appearance had changed.
She looked younger, more attractive. The neighbours were suspicious, but they
could fi nd no proof that the witch had taken their young ones.
paragraph ….
From that day to this, anyone foolish enough to chant Bloody Mary’s name three
times before a darkened mirror will summon the vengeful spirit of the witch.
It is said that she will tear their bodies to pieces and rip their souls from their
mutilated bodies. The souls of these unfortunate ones will burn in torment as
Bloody Mary once was burned, and they will be trapped forever in the mirror.
paragraph ….
The townsmen grabbed their guns and their pitchforks and ran toward the
witch. When she heard the commotion, Bloody Mary broke off her spell and
fl ed back into the woods. The far-sighted farmer had loaded his gun with silver
bullets in case the witch ever came after his daughter. Now he took aim and
shot at her. The bullet hit Bloody Mary in the hip and she fell to the ground.
The angry townsmen leapt upon her and carried her back into the fi eld, where
they built a huge bonfi re and burned her at the stake.

Cinderella
Once upon a time, there lived an unhappy young girl. She was unhappy because her
mother was dead, and her father had married another woman, a widow with two daughters. Her
stepmother didn’t like her. All the nice things, kind thoughts and loving touches were for her own
daughters. Not just the kind thoughts and love, but also dresses, shoes, delicious food, comfy
beds, as well as every home comfort. All this was laid on for her daughters. For the poor unhappy
girl, there was nothing at all. No dresses, only her stepsisters’ hand-me-downs. No lovely dishes,
nothing but scraps. No nice rests and comfort. For she had to work hard all day, and only when
evening came was she allowed to sit for a while by the fi re, near the cinders. That is how she got
her nickname, for everybody called her Cinderella. Cinderella used to spend long hours all alone
talking to the cat. The cat said,
“Meow”, which really meant, “Cheer up! You have something neither of your stepsisters
have and that is beauty.”
It was quite true. Cinderella, even dressed in rags with a dusty gray face from the cinders,
she was a lovely girl. While her stepsisters, no matter how splendid and elegant their clothes,
were still clumsy, lumpy and ugly and always would be.
One day, beautiful new dresses arrived at the house. A ball was to be held at Court and the
stepsisters were getting ready to go to it. Cinderella, didn’t even dare ask, “What about me?” for
she knew very well what the answer to that would be:
“You? My dear girl, you’re staying at home to wash the dishes, scrub the fl oors and turn
down the beds for your stepsisters. They will come home tired and very sleepy.” Cinderella sighed
at the cat.
“Oh dear, I’m so unhappy!” and the cat murmured “Meow”.
Suddenly something amazing happened. In the kitchen, where Cinderella was sitting all by
herself, there was a burst of light and a fairy appeared.
“Don’t be alarmed, Cinderella,” said the fairy. “The wind blew me your sighs. I know you
would love to go to the ball. And so you shall!”
“How can I, dressed in rags?” Cinderella replied. “The servants will turn me away!” The fairy
Task 16
It Was The Least I Could Do. 109
smiled. With a fl ick of her magic wand, Cinderella found herself wearing the most beautiful dress,
the loveliest ever seen in the realm.
“Now that we have settled the matter of the dress,” said the fairy, “we’ll need to get you a
cart. A real lady would never go to a ball on foot!” “Quick! Get me a pumpkin!” she ordered.
“Oh of course,” said Cinderella, rushing away. Then the fairy turned to the cat.
“You, bring me seven mice!”
“Seven mice!” said the cat. “I didn’t know fairies ate mice too!”
“They’re not for eating, silly! Do as you are told! And, remember they must be alive!”
Cinderella soon returned with a fi ne
pumpkin and the cat with seven mice he
had caught in the cellar.
“Good!” exclaimed the fairy. With
a flick of her magic wand... wonder of
wonders! The pumpkin turned into a
sparkling cart and the mice became six
white horses, while the seventh mouse
turned into a coachman, in a smart uniform
and carrying a whip. Cinderella could
hardly believe her eyes.
“I shall present you at Court. You will
soon see that the Prince, in whose honour the ball is being held,
will be enchanted by your loveliness. But remember! You must
leave the ball at midnight and come home. For that is when the
spell ends. Your cart will turn back into a pumpkin, the horses will
become mice again and the coachman will turn back into a mouse
and you will be dressed again in rags and wearing clogs instead of
these beautiful slippers! Do you understand?” Cinderella smiled
and said, “Yes, I understand!”
When Cinderella entered the ballroom at the palace, a hush
fell. Everyone stopped in mid-sentence to admire her elegance,
her beauty and grace.
“Who can that be?” people asked each
other. The two stepsisters also wondered who
the newcomer was, for never in a month of
Sundays, would they ever have guessed that
the beautiful girl was really poor Cinderella who
talked to the cat!
When the prince set eyes on Cinderella,
he was struck by her beauty. Walking over to
her, he bowed deeply and asked her to dance.
And to the great disappointment of all the
young ladies, he danced with Cinderella all
evening.
“Who are you, fair maiden?” the Prince kept asking her. But Cinderella only replied:
“What does it matter who I am! You will never see me again anyway.”
“Oh, but I shall, I’m quite certain!” he replied.
110 Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students X
Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball. But, all of a sudden, she heard the sound of a
clock: the fi rst stroke of midnight! She remembered what the fairy had said, and without a word
of goodbye she slipped from the Prince’s arms and ran down the steps. As she ran she lost one
of her slippers, but not for a moment did she dream of stopping to pick it up! If the last stroke
of midnight were to sound... oh... what a disaster that would be! Out she fl ed and vanished into
the night.
The Prince, who was now madly in love with her, picked up her slipper and said to his
ministers,
“Go and search everywhere for the girl whose foot this slipper fi ts. I will never be content
until I fi nd her!” So the ministers tried the slipper on the foot of all the girls and on Cinderella’s
foot as well. Surprise! The slipper fi tted perfectly.
“That awful untidy girl simply cannot have been at the ball,” snapped the stepmother. “Tell
the Prince he ought to marry one of my two daughters! Can’t you see how ugly Cinderella is! Can’t
you see?”
Suddenly she broke off, for the fairy had appeared.
“That’s enough!” she exclaimed, raising her magic stick. In a fl ash, Cinderella appeared in
a splendid dress, shining with youth and beauty. Her stepmother and stepsisters gaped at her in
amazement, and the ministers said,
“Come with us, fair maiden! The Prince awaits to present you with his engagement ring!”
So Cinderella joyfully went with them, and lived happily ever after with her Prince. And as for the
cat, he just said “Meow”!

Study the rule below.
In the story of Cinderella in Task 16 you fi nd sentences:
“Now that we have settled the matter of dress, …”
“ … and her father had married another woman, …”
The fi rst sentence is called Present Perfect and the second sentence is called Past Perfect.
Present Perfect have/has + V3
We use the present perfect to give new information or to announce a recent happening.
For example:
Denias has lived in Jakarta for seven years.
The students have not cleaned the classroom for days.
Past perfect had + V3
We use the past perfect to say something had already happened before this time.
For example:
Arnys had just got home when Virga phoned her.
Retno had seen The Calon Arang drama twice.

Asian Beach Games to cost Rp300 billion

The fi rst Asian Beach Games, which will be held in Bali from October 18-26, will cost an
estimated Rp300 billion (around US$32 million), says National Sports Council (KONI) chairwoman
Rita Subowo.
Rita said here Wednesday that the organizing committee and KONI would strive to secure the
funding from the government and sponsors. “The Coordinating Ministry for the People’s Welfare
will provide Rp100 billion,” Rita said. “A New Zealand apparel company has signed an agreement
with the organizing company to provide a sponsorship of $1.5 million.” Rita said she was hopeful
KONI and the organizing committee would fi nd other sponsors to cover the budget.
“We are still negotiating with local and other international companies to sponsor the tournament.
Some of them probably will support us in cash, while some others will provide equipment,
like computers,” she said, adding that the organizing committee would use Ernst & Young as its
fi nancial adviser.
The Asian Beach Games is a multisport event that will be held every two years for athletes
representing 45 countries from across Asia. A total of 17 sports disciplines, including beach soccer,
volleyball, sepak takraw, jet skiing, surfi ng and sailing will be included in the Games.
To fi nance the training of Indonesian athletes participating in the event, Rita said the State
Ministry for Youth and Sports Affairs would provide some Rp15 billion, which is not included in
the Rp300 billion budget for organizing the Games. (trw)

Simon Stuns Taufi k in Malaysia
The Jakarta Post, Friday, January 18, 2008
Indonesia’s No. 1 Taufi k Hidayat saw his hopes of collecting the fi rst title this year dashed
by his junior compatriot Simon Santoso in the second round of the US$200,000 Malaysia Open
Super Series badminton tournament in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
174 Interlanguage: English for Senior High School Students X
The 2004 Olympic gold medallist was routed by the fi tter Simon in 40 minutes 21-18, 21-
16. He refused to make any excuse. “There is no excuse for my bad performance today. I simply
lost,” he was quoted as saying by AFP.
With the victory, Simon advanced to the quarterfi nals to take on top seed Lee Chong Wei of
Malaysia. Lee secured semi fi nal berth after beating Przemyslaw Wacha of Poland 21-5, 15-21,
21-8 in 43 minutes. Lee has beaten Simon twice, the last time was at the French Super Series last
November where he also became the eventual winner. Simon is the lone prospect for Indonesia in
men’s singles after Andre Kurniawan Tedjono fell to eighth seed Chen Yu of China 13-21, 9-21.
In mixed doubles, world champion Nova Widianto and Lilyana Natsir took another step
toward the quarterfi nals after beating German’s pair Ingo Kindervater and Kathrin Piotrowski
21-11, 21-23, 21-19. They will play Korean duo Lee Yong
Dae and Lee Hyo Jung in the quarterfi nal. The Korean
pair defeated Danish duo Thomas Laybourn and Kamilla
Rytter Juhl 21-15, 20-22, 21-19. This would be the fi rst
encounter for the Indonesians and the Koreans.
“They are a new pair. Korea has repeatedly made
changes in their doubles pairings. We never met them
before,” Nova said as quoted by Antara. “It will be an interesting
game. But, we are optimistic to win the match,”
he said.
Meanwhile, Indonesia also saw its best prospects in
women’s doubles tumble during the second round of the
tournament. Jo Novita and Greysia Polii were trounced
by Korean pair Lee Won Kyung and Lee Hyo Jung 18-21,
10-21 in 41 minutes, while teammates Lilyana Natsir and
Vita Marissa fell to Miyuki Maeda and Satoko Suetsuna
of Japan 19-21, 16-21 in 45 minutes.

II. Read the texts and choose the best answer to each question.
Questions 14 – 20 are based on the following text.
The White Butterfl y
An old man named Takahama lived in a little house behind the cemetery of the temple
of Sozanji. He was extremely friendly and generally liked by his neighbours, though most of them
considered him a little mad. That was because he was very old but he did not want to get married.
He did not have the desire for intimate relationship with women.
One summer day he became very ill, so ill, in fact, that he sent for his sister-in-law and her
son. They both came and did all they could to bring comfort during his last hours. While Takahama
fell asleep, they watched a large white butterfl y fl ew into the room and rested on the old man’s
pillow. The young man tried to drive it away with a fan; but it came back three times, as if it was
very loath to leave the sufferer.
At last Takahama’s nephew chased it out into the garden, through the gate, and into the
cemetery beyond, where it lingered over a woman’s tomb, and then mysteriously disappeared.
On examining the tomb the young man found the name “Akiko” written upon it, together with a
description narrating how Akiko died when she was eighteen. Though the tomb was covered with
moss and must have been erected fi fty years previously, the boy saw that it was surrounded with
fl owers, and that the little water tank had been recently fi lled.
When the young man returned to the house he found that Takahama had passed away,
and he returned to his mother and told her what he had seen in the cemetery.
“Akiko?” murmured his mother. “When your uncle was young he was betrothed to Akiko.
She died shortly before her wedding day. When Akiko left this world your uncle resolved never to
marry, and to live ever near her grave. For all these years he has remained faithful to his vow, and
kept in his heart all the sweet memories of his one and only love. Every day Takahama went to
the cemetery, whether the air was fragrant with summer breeze or thick with falling snow. Every
day he went to her grave and prayed for her happiness, swept the tomb and set fl owers there.
When Takahama was dying, and he could no longer perform his loving task, Akiko came for him.
That white butterfl y was her sweet and loving soul.”

My Very Best Friends
I believe that a friend is an angel who lifts us off our feet when our wings have trouble
remembering how to fl y. It means that our friends are people who will always be there for us
any time we need them.
I’m so lucky because I have three best friends. They are Firsty, Ronald and Jonathan.
We have known each other since we were four years old. We met in the kindergarten. Since
then, we always go to the same school. Moreover, our houses are still in the same block. We
do everything together. Our motto is “United we stand, divided we fall”. It means “together we
are stronger”. Now, let me introduce my friends one by one.
Firsty is the youngest among us because she was born in December. We call her “The
Sweety Firsty”. Her father is French. She is tall and slim. She’s about 171 cm. She has long
straight hair. Actually the color of her hair is blonde. However, she dyed her hair black since
last year. She has beautiful blue eyes, an oval face and pointed nose. “The Sweety Firsty” is a
cheerful, confi dent, and determined girl. However, she is a little bit careless and stubborn. She
has many cats in her house. There are about nine cats. She loves them all. One of her favourite
is a little orange cat. She calls her ‘Shinny’. Firsty loves to dance and sing. Nevertheless, she
wants to be a model.
Ronald’s nickname is Ron. Most of girls in our school love and adore him. There’s
no doubt about his good looking. We call him “The Charming Ron”. His height is 176 cm. Ron
has straight hair and perfect face. He is an intelligent and introvert person. Above all, he is
humble. He was crowned as The Best Student this year. He won so many prizes on Math,
Chemistry and Physic competition. However, his favourite subject is Chemistry. He wants to
be a chemist someday.
Jonathan is a funny person. He can always fi nd a way to make the people around
him laugh. I wonder what it is in his head for he can create jokes spontaneously. Jonathan’s
nick name is Jo. He is plump. He’s about 168 cm tall. His weight is 80 kg. That’s why we call
him “The Big Jo”. He has a round face with brown eyes. His spiky hairstyle makes him easily
recognized. Jo is a humorous, friendly and an easy going person. He is a movie freak. He would
never miss any new movie in the cinema. He dreams of becoming a famous actor one day.
About me? Well, my name is Hana. I’m the shortest one among them. I’m about 160
cm tall. I have long wavy hair with round face. My friends call me “The Chubby Hana” because
I also have a chubby check. Most people, even my parents say that I’m a careful, generous
and diligent person. They also say that I’m a bit sensitive. I love painting. I spend much time
in my small studio just painting.
That’s all about me and friends of mine. Even though we are quite different, we love
each other and will keep this relationship for good.

Inul aims to drill after haj

hip-gyrating dance, “the drill” after recently completing a spiritual pilgrimage to Mecca.

Inul said she wouldn’t be changing her typically-tight stage outfi ts like many other

Task 10
Last year, my family and I visited our relatives in Greece. We fl ew to Athens via
Singapore. After two hours from Athens, we arrived in Hydra where our relatives were.
The interesting thing about Hydra is that no vehicle allowed. We have to walk to get
anywhere. People often get around on horses or mules. After Hydra, we visited Satorini
by ferry. Then we took a high speed catamaran to Mykonos. At least in Mykonos they
have taxis and buses so we did not have to walk to go everywhere. From Mykonos
we fl ew to the island of Skiathos where we spent a lovely week visiting beaches and
eating wonderful Greek food. Finally it was time to go back to Athens and end our
trip. After wandering around the old part of the city and taking lots of photos of the
Acropolis and other ancient Greek monuments and statues, we had to get my taxi
to the airport.

Retno : Would you tell me how to do it before practising?
Ayu : Sure, let me tell you. First, prepare the spices, egg, and cooked

thin pieces. Fry them together until it smells good. After that, add the
egg and scramble them together. Finally, fry them together with the

Anteng. Later she got married to a priest named Joko Seger. Because of an unfortunate
situation, they were forced to leave the kingdom. They settled an area in
the mountain named Tengger.

peak of the mountain and prayed to the gods. Betara Bromo promised them many
children with one condition: they would have to sacrifi ce their youngest child. They
fi nally had twenty-fi ve children. However, they broke their promise to sacrifi ce the
youngest, Kesuma. Suddenly, an eruption occurred and Kesuma fell into the crater.
His voice was heard saying, “I have to be sacrifi ced so that you will all live. From
now on you should arrange an annual ceremony on the 14th of Kesodo.”
Kesuma’s brothers and sisters held the offering ceremony every year by
offering fruits, vegetables, rice and meats. This ceremony is still held today as a

end!” became the theme of the Delaware troops. The other troops took to calling

Sentul to host fi rst Speedcar race
Saturday, January 26, 2008
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
Indonesia will play host to the fi rst series of the US$3 million Speedcar Championships.
The Indonesian races will take place at the Sentul International Circuit in
Bogor, West Java, from Feb. 16 to 17. Indonesia will fi eld its drivers Ananda Mikola
and Moreno Soeprapto in the race.
Moreno said he hoped he would benefi t from the home crowd and stand on the
podium. He added that if he should manage to win the race, he would be able to attract
more sponsors to help fi nance him in higher budget Formula races in the future.
The Speedcar series will feature 24 drivers behind their eight-valve cars with
620 horsepower, similar to the ones used in Nascar. Physically and skill wise, it’s more
demanding than Formula 1 as it is heavier. Speedcars weigh 1,300 kg, compared to
the 600-kg Formula car.
Moreno and Ananda will race against a number of world-class drivers, including
former Formula 1 drivers Jean Alessi and Johnny Herbert, in the races.
The speedcar championships, held in partnership with GP2 Asia, will award the
winner US$600,000. The next series will be held in Malaysia, Bahrain and Dubai.
