have distinguish features that make them different other species of bear. Pandas have white thick
fur which covers all of their body with black eyes patches, ears, nose, legs, shoulders, and arms.
Those black marks make Pandas unique and different.
Like other species of bear, pandas have a big head, a short tail, rounded ears, and a long muzzle
with a big nose. However, pandas’ diet is totally different with other species of bear; in which
they prefer bamboos than others. 90% of pandas’ diet consists of bamboos. That is why pandas
have adapted their body to help them in eating bamboos. Pandas have a big jaw with tough
muscles and strong molars to crush bamboos so they can extract the nutrients they need.

Victoria Caroline Beckham is an English singer-songwriter, dancer, model, actress, fashion
designer and business woman. She was born on April 17, 1974, in Essex, England. She became
famous in the 1990's with the pop group "The Spice Girl"and was known as Posh Spice. In 1999,
she married the Manchester United and England footballer, David Beckham. They have four
children, three sons and a daughter.
After The Spice Girl split up, she pursued a solo singer career, but also started her own fashion
range called dVb Style. Since this initial foray into fashion Victoria Beckham has brought out
her own range of sunglasses and fragrance, entitled "Intimately Beckham"and a range of
handbags and jewelry.
In addition she had written two best-selling books: one her autobiography and the other, a
fashion guide.
Kapoposang and the nearby islands were declared a Nature Tourism Park by the Department of
Forestry in 1999. Diving has been an important activity at Kapoposang since the mid
1990s. There were so few local divers at the time, and because of the distance from other well-
known diving areas in Indonesia, Kapoposang has basically remained a secret.
The best time to visit Kapoposang is between April and November, when the seas are calm, the
26 | E n g l i s h M o d u l e
weather favorable, and the wind less fierce than in the other months. The trip takes two hours by
speedboat; the ocean breezes help to cool your skin in the hot morning sun. As you approach
Pulau Kapoposang, you see the deep blue water, which suddenly meets an expanse of coral reefs
between extensive shallows with white sands in the seabed. Sea grass also grows lushly near the
shore. The sea bed at Kapoposang has a unique composition; near the island are some quite
shallow contours, and then suddenly steep underwater cliffs leading to seemingly endless depths.
The water is very clear; you can expect underwater visibility of over 15 meters – ideal conditions
for divers.

Junior High School – Camping
(Orientation)
One of my favourite things in Junior High School was camping.
Once a mount my school held a routine extracurricular that was camping at some mountain or
camping field in my town. Usually the event was at first Saturday night in a month.
32 | E n g l i s h M o d u l e
(Event)
One day at the camping time, we all gathered at the school first before we went together at the
camping area.
We were grouped in teams and each team has its own tent. We went to the camping area by bus.
At the afternoon around 4 pm we had already been there. We built our own tent before we
continue the activities.
After building the tent, bathing, and having a break, we start the rundown of the activities.
One thing I love most was the activity of Jerit Malam (nightmare training). It was held at 10 pm
until 1 am in the morning.
We all, every team, were scattered into the jungle to find the letters in a bottle. The camping
committees had prepared something to frighten us by wearing ghost or zombie costume and
chased after us.
Anyway, I was never afraid of that but I was so happy seeing some of my friends screaming and
running. I laughed loudly at that event because I think both of the ghost and the victims were
totally funny.
The ghost or the zombie never frightened us who were not afraid, but they will run after them
who were too afraid.
(Reorientation)
That was so fun experience that I had in Junior High School
F. Exercise :
Spiderman
Orientation
I was dreaming of being super hero when I was a teenager. I imagined myself as Spiderman.
Event
One day, when I was fishing at the river I was bitten by a spider and luckily I was not dying.
At first I felt cold for 24 hours and I was alone in my room. Nobody knew about it. I didn’t tell
my family because I was affraid they would angry with me.
After that, something had happened in my body and I still did not recognize it. I lived as I did
usually, went to school, go home, eating, doing some activities and so on.
I realized at the first time that I had a super power was when I was getting an accident.
I rode a motor cycle and suddenly there was a bus crashed me. I bounced out of the road and my
motor cycle was totally broken.
But at that case, I did not feel any hurt. There was no blood out of my body.
I was angry at that time because the bus did not stop and escaped. I run after it and I didn’t know
why I could run so fast and jump so high.
I jumped to the back of the bus and climbed it like a spider. I went to the front, stooped the bus
and took the driver out of the bus door.
I knew that I was no more normal human being. I did nothing more to the bus driver. I went back
home and decided the next action to do after that.
33 | E n g l i s h M o d u l e
Reorientation
I did nothing like the Spiderman at the movie that help people to catch the criminals.
I was an opportunist super hero. I was afraid of killing people so that I hide my power from
anybody else. I used my power only when I or my family and friends got into dangerous.

Cramming is Bad
How do you study when the test is coming? Do you start preparing for the test weeks or months
before the test or leave things to the last hour? If you start studying weeks or months before the
test, it is great. However, if you study all the material in the last hour or minute, it is not good for
you and it is called cramming.
Cramming is the situation when students stay up until morning to study before their test. This
habit can lead to negative impacts for some reason. The first reason is that disruptions in the
regular sleep cycle can cause temporary intellectual lapses. For most students, less sleep can
make them could not focus in the class. Additionally, cramming can leave us with “something
that I have seen before” in our memory. However, being able to recognize something is not the
same as being able to recall it. Besides that, each person has their different sleeping time, so
some of them often use a stimulant for cramming. Furthermore, that stimulant gives bad effect to
its consumers.
The example stimulant is coffee. It causes many problems such as Caffeine Intoxiation
Syndrome, anxiety, panic, headaches, and so on. To sum up, cramming is bad because it disturbs
our regular sleep cycle which cause temporary intellectualn lapses and using stimulant for
cramming gives bad effect to our health.

Pakistan's houbara bird facing extinction
The indiscriminate hunting of endangered houbara bustard birds in Pakistan by rich hunting
parties from the Gulf nations have pushed the species toward extinction. The hunting was
initially banned by the Pakistani courts, but under continuous pressure from the provincial
governments of Sind, Baluchistan, and Punjab, as well as the federal government, recently
the courts lifted the ban on the hunting of this vulnerable species.
Some people in Pakistan have been advocating for sustainable hunting of the species instead
of a complete ban, but this is highly debatable. Reckless hunting for decades has pushed this
beautiful species toward extinction and it is now critically endangered in Pakistan.
40 | E n g l i s h M o d u l e
No reliable or credible statistics on the population dynamics of the species are available
either. Unless specially protected by the law, the species runs the risk of becoming extinct in
the wild in the next few decades.
Under these circumstances, the only logical approach to save the species from extinction in
the not-so-distant future is to immediately start comprehensive captive breeding program for
the species across the nation.
If the captive breeding program runs successfully and produces an appreciable number of
chicks, then reintroduction programs could be initiated in their wild habitats.
Only after rebuilding population for some time in the wild and allowing them to breed
naturally to reach a sustainable population could some restricted hunting be planned.
Currently, the low numbers have made this species vulnerable and with zero or poor
monitoring, sustainable hunting practices in Pakistan for this dwindling species will not
work.
Game hunting works only when a stable population is achieved with strict monitoring on the
ratio of males to females hunted per season. If the females (no true statistics available) are
being taken out of the population through random hunting, the population is sure to pass
through a bottleneck in the wild habitat, with high vulnerability to eventual extinction.
The people of Pakistan need to decide what is more important-a few petrodollars or
protecting the biodiversity of the nation.
3. According to the text, why does the writer want all kinds of houbara bird hunting be
banned?
A. The population of houbara bird is getting smaller and smaller.
41 | E n g l i s h M o d u l e
B. The captivation of houbara bird has been unsuccessful.
C. The houbara bird is difficult to catch.
D. The houbara bird is beautiful.
E. The hunters are reckless.
Animals should not be used in circus. The environment where they perform and their living
conditions are usually inappropriate. Tigers, for example which naturally live in wilderness,
must perform tricks on a narrow stage and spend their lifetime in a small cage.
Besides, the living conditions of the circus animals are poor. They live in a cramped
condition most of the time. They actually need more space to roam. They also do not have
freedom to live with their own kind.
We should ban the use of animals in circus and their confinement there.
4. Why does the writer consider circus inappropriate place to live for animals?

Honey Bee
Honey bee is the name given to some species of bees who have the ability to produce honey and
beeswax. Of all 20.000 species of bees in the world, there are only seven species which belong to
the group of honey bee. They are insect and all of them belong to the genus Apis. One of the
most famous honey bee is the Western Honey Bee.
There are three castes of honey bee and each of them has their own job or function. The first one
is the Queen. The queen is a female honey bee with the job to lay eggs and to be the mother of
all bees in the colony. There is only one queen in a colony of bees. An exclusive food called
“royal jelly” is what makes a female honey bee grow larger than other honey bees and became
the queen. The second one is the Workers. The workers are all female honey bees in a colony
except the queen. They can consist of as much as 60.000 bees in single colony. Some of their
duties are: feeding the brood, collecting food, receiving nectar, cleaning the hive, guard duty,
producing honey and also producing beeswax. The third one is the Drones. Drones are all male
bees in a colony. The drones have one job only and that is to fertilize the queen during the
mating process and will soon be dead after that.
The largest species of bee in the world is the Indonesian resin bee who can grow up to the size of
39 millimetres and the smallest species is the Dwarf stingless bees with the size of 2 millimetres.
They have the typical body of an insect with three sections: the head, thorax and abdomen. They
have two large eyes, two antenna, a mouth and a long proboscis on their head. They use the
proboscis to suck up nectar from a flower which later be kept on their hind legs. There are three
43 | E n g l i s h M o d u l e
pairs of legs and two pairs of wings on their thorax. There are nine segments on their abdomen
and the last three segments is modified into the sting.

Snakes are reptiles (cold-blooded creatures). They belong to the same group as lizards (the
scaled group, Squamata) but from a sub-group of their own (Serpentes).
Snakes have two legs but a long time ago they had claws to help them slither along. Snakes are
not slimy. They are covered in scales which are just bumps on the skin. Their skin is hard and
glossy to reduce friction as the snake slithers along the ground.
Snakes often sun bathe on rocks in the warm weather. This is because snakes are cold-blooded;
they need the sun’s warmth to heat their bodies up.
Most snakes live in the country. Some types of snakes live in tress, some live in water, but most
live on the ground in deserted rabbit burrows, in thick, long grass and in old logs.
A snake’s diet usually consists of frogs, lizard, and mice and other snakes. The Anaconda can eat
small crocodiles and even bears. Many snakes protect themselves with their fangs. Some snakes
are protected by scaring their enemies away like the Cobra. The flying snakes glide away from
danger. Their ribs spread apart and the skin stretches out. Its technique is just like the sugar
gliders.

It is one of the five extreme species of mono-dreams. The only mammal that lays eggs instead of
giving birth to live young. The body and the broad flat tail of these animals are covered with
dense brown fur, that traps a lay including ear to keep the animals warm. It uses its tail for story
joy fact. It has webbed feet and the large robbery’s net. These are species that are be closer to
those of ducks, then to these any known mammals. Weight varies considerably from 0.7 to 2.4
kg with males being larger than females. And male averages 50 cm total length whiles the female

How A Cancer Is Formed
What is cancer? It is actually a group of more than one hundred separate diseases. Most of us are
fear from cancer It is reasonable because next to heart disease, cancer is the second leading cause
of death.
Cancer cells come from normal cells because of mutations of DNA. Those mutations can occur
spontaneously. The mutations may be also induced by other factors such as: nuclear and
electromagnetic radiation, viruses, bacteria and fungi, parasites, heat, chemicals in the air, water
and food, mechanical cell-level injury, free radicals, evolution and ageing of DNA, etc. All such
factors can produce mutations that may start cancer.
Cancer cells are formed continuously in the organism. It is estimated that there are about 10,000
cancer cells at any given time in a healthy person. Why do some result in macroscopic-level
cancers and some do not? First, not all damaged cells can multiply and many of them die
quickly. Second, those which potentially divide and form cancer are effectively destroyed by the
mechanisms available to the immune system. Therefore cancer develops if the immune system is
not working properly or the amount of cells produced is too great for the immune system to
eliminate.

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown
away. Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic
spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new
products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy
than using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for
high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the
manufacturing process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office
paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old
newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil.
The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a
machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove
smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper
fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as
boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.
Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every
ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of
recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

A. Precious metals
B. Broken glass

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and
replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that
can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small
pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva
contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here,
the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the
food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing,
mixing and moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic
branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

The Rabbit and the Turtle
One day a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He was laughing at the turtle for
being so slow.
Much to the rabbit’s surprise, the turtle challenged him to a race. The rabbit thought this was a
good joke and accepted the challenge. The fox was to be the umpire of the race. As the race
began, the rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone thought.
The rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and tired
and decided to stop and take a short nap. All this time the turtle kept walking step by step by
step. He never quit no matter how hot or tired he got. He just kept going.
However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke up. He could not see the turtle
anywhere! He went at full-speed to the finish line but found the turtle there waiting for him.

Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 in Kentucky (USA). He worked on the farm of his father. He
attended school for less than a year, but taught himself to read and write. He did different types
of jobs before he settled as a highly successful lawyer. He was gradually drawn to politics.
The country was having problems regarding the practice of slavery. The white men owned large
farms in the southern states, Blacks were brought from Africa to work on these farms, They were
kept as slaves. The people of northern states were against this practice of slavery and wanted to
abolish it, The Constitution of America is based on the equality of man. Therefore, there was no
place for slavery in that country,
At this difficult time, Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the USA in 1860. He wanted to
solve the problem of slavery. The southern states were against the abolition of slavery. This
brought the unity of the country in danger. The southern states were prepared even to form a new
country. Abraham Lincoln wanted all the states to remain united.
He faced many problems. He wanted to preserve the unity of the country at any cost. Finally a
civil war broke out between the northern and southern states. He fought the war bravely and
declared, 'A Nation cannot exist half free and half slave.' He won the war and kept the country
united.
Lincoln was elected president for a second term. He was not against anybody and wanted
everybody to live in peace. He made sincere efforts to heal the people's wounds caused by the
war. In 1862, Lincoln declared that from then onwards all slaves would be free. This made him
very popular among the people. Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.

I, Milton Friedman was born on July 31, 1921, in Brooklyn, N.Y., the fourth and last child
and fi rst son of Sarah Ethel (Landau) and Jeno Saul Friedman. My parents were born in
Carpatho-Ruthenia of the Soviet Union, They emigrated to the U.S. in their teens, meeting in
New York. When I was a year old, my parents moved to Rahway, N.J., a small town about
20 miles from New York City.
In economics, I had the good fortune to be exposed to two remarkable men: Arthur F. Burns
and Homer Jones. Arthur Burns shaped my understanding of economics research, introduced
me to the highest scientific standards, and became a guiding influence on my subsequent
career. Homer Jones introduced me to rigorous economic theory, made economics exciting
and relevant, and encouraged me to go on to graduate work. On his recommendation, the
Chicago Economics Department offered me a tuition scholarship. As it happened, I was also
offered a scholarship by Brown University in Applied Mathematics, but, by that time, I had
definitely transferred my primary allegiance to economics. In 1976 I won the Nobel
Memorial Prize in Economics for my achievements in the fields of consumption analysis,
monetary history and theory and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization
policy. In 1977, at age 65, I retired from the University of Chicago after teaching there for 30
years.

XV. Song
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make it a better place
For you and for me
If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear of dread
We stop existing and start living
The it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better place
Heal the world

And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
64 | E n g l i s h M o d u l e
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be god's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die

See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place
Heal the world

For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

II. Direct & Indirect Sentences
A. Definition
Indirect speech is also known as reported speech, indirect narration, or indirect discourse. In
grammar, when you report someone else’s statement in your own words without any change
in the meaning of the statement, it is called indirect speech. Quoting a person’s words
without using his own word and bringing about any change in the meaning of the statement is
a reported speech. Look at the following sentences:
Direct Speech: She says, “I am a little bit nervous.”
Indirect Speech: She says that she is a little bit nervous.
In the first sentence, the reporter conveys the message of the girl using her actual words (e.g.,
“I am a little bit nervous.”) In the second sentence, the reporter conveys her message but in
his own words without any change in the meaning. Thus, both direct and indirect speeches
are two different ways of reporting a statement of person. In simple words, quoting a person
using your own words is called an indirect speech.
B. Basic Rules
Changes in Person of Pronouns:
o 1st Person pronouns in reported speech are always changed according to the subject of the
reporting speech.
o 2nd Person pronouns in reported speech are always changed according to the object of the
reporting speech.
o 3rd Person pronouns in reported speech are not changed.
Changes in Verbs:
o If the reporting speech is in present tense or future tense, then no change is required to be made
in the verb of reported speech. This verb could be in any tense i.e., present, past, or future. For
example:
Direct Speech: He says, “I am ill.”
Indirect Speech: He says that he is ill.
Direct Speech: She says, “She sang a song.”
Indirect Speech: She says that she sang a song.
Direct Speech: You say, “I shall visit London.”
Indirect Speech: You say that you will visit London.
o If the reporting verb is in past tense, then reported verb will be changed as per the following
criterion:
o Present indefinite tense is changed into past indefinite tense. For example:
Direct Speech: They said, “They take exercise every day.”
Indirect Speech: They said that they took exercise every day.
o Present continuous is changed into past continuous tense.
Direct Speech: They said, “They are taking exercise every day.”
Indirect Speech: They said that they were taking exercise every day.
72 | E n g l i s h M o d u l e
o Present perfect is changed into the past perfect tense.
Direct Speech: They said, “They have taken exercise.”
Indirect Speech: They said that they had taken exercise.
o Present perfect continuous tense is changed into past perfect continuous tense.
Direct Speech: They said, “They have been taking exercise since morning.”
Indirect Speech: They said that they had been taking exercise since morning.
o Past indefinite is changed into past perfect tense.
Direct Speech: They said, “They took exercise.”
Indirect Speech: They said that they had taken exercise.
o Past continuous tense is changed into past perfect continuous tense.
Direct Speech: They said, “They were taking exercise.”
Indirect Speech: They said that they had been taking exercise.
o No changes are required to be made into past perfect and past perfect continuous tenses.
Direct Speech: They said, “They had taken exercise.”
Indirect Speech: They said that they had taken exercise.
o In Future Tense, while no changes are made except shall and will are changed into would.
Direct Speech: They said, “They will take exercise.”
Indirect Speech: They said that they would take exercise.

Words Changed Into Direct Speech Indirect Speech
C. Examples
1. REPORTED STATEMENTS
Reported statement adalah pernyataan yang dilaporkan. Dalam melaporkan sebuah pernyataan
dapat dilakukan di waktu sekarang (present) atau waktu lampau (past).
Menurut Thomson dan Martinet (1986: 269), reported speech dapat dikenalkan oleh reproting
verbs (say/tell/ask) dalam bentuk present: He says that … Hal ini terjadi biasanya ketika kita
melaporkan percakapan yang sedang berlangsung: He says that we have to study hard.
Apabila reporting verb (say/tell/ask) tersebut dalam bentuk present, present perfect atau future
tense, kita dapat melaporkan peryataan langsung tanpa ada perubahan.
74 | E n g l i s h M o d u l e
"I am very happy."
Umumnya reported speech dikenalkan oleh reproting verbs (say/tell/ask) dalam bentuk past: He
said that… Selanjutnya tejadi perubahan dalam reported speech tersebut.
Berikut adalah perubahan tenses:
Future Conditional
He said, "I will go to Bandung on He said that he would go to Bandung on Saturday.

Ada dua macam bentuk reported questions, yaitu: a) pertanyaan dengan question
words (5W1H), dan b) yes/no questions.

III. If Conditional Sentences
A. Definition
Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to
express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition
(in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences.
Conditional sentences are sometimes confusing for learners of English as a second language.
Watch out:
1. Which type of conditional sentences is it?
2. Where is the if-clause (e.g. at the beginning or at the end of the conditional sentence)?
There are three types of conditional sentences.

type Examples
The words used in subjunctive are "wish", "as if / as though", "would rather", "if only" (if / if
only).
B. Function
As if / as though is used to state an untrue state of reality or fact.
Wish, would rather, and if only used to express a wish or desire.
1. Future Subjunctive
Future Subjunctive is used as a presupposition that refers to the future, so the fact is also in the
form of Simple Future Tense.
Example:
- I wish you would come to the party tonight.
(Meaning: I hope you will come to the party tonight.)
(In fact: He will not come to the party tonight)
NOTE
Although rarely used, but sometimes we still encounter Future Subjunctive, so we better
recognize it too. You can use Present Subjunctive instead.
2. Present Subjunctive
Present Subjunctive is used as a presupposition that refers to the present, so the fact is also in the
form of Simple Present Tense.
82 | E n g l i s h M o d u l e
Wish Subject (1) + wish + Subject (2) + Verb 2 / were
As if /As Subject (1) + Verb 1 + as if + Subject (2) + Verb2 / were
though
Would rather Subject (1) + would rather + Subject (2) + Verb 2 / were
If only If only + Subject + Verb 2
NOTE
In the Present Subjunctive form, the verb used is the 2nd form (VERB 2), and if you must use to
be, must use "were" for all types of Subject.
Example:
- I wish you visited me.
(Meaning: I hope you visit me.)
(Fact: You don't visit me.)
3. Past Subjunctive
Past Subjunctive is used as a presupposition that refers to the past, so the fact is also in the form
of Simple Past Tense.
Example:
- She wished (that) she had more time last night.
(Meaning: He hopes that he has more time last night.)
(In fact: She didn't have more time last night.)
