GETTING STARTED
Part B. Active Listening. Listen to Mike, talking about whales.
While listening, complete the missing words with the words you hear.
Whales are sea-livings mammals. They therefore breathe air but cannot
survive on land. Some species are very large indeed and the blue whale, which
can exceed 30 meters in length, is the largest animal to have lived on earth.
Superficially, the whale looks rather like a fish, but there are important
differences in its external structure; its tail consists of a pair of broad,
flat horizontal paddles (the tail of a fish is vertical) and it has a single
nostril on top of its large, broad head. The skin is smooth and shiny and beneath
it lies a layer of fat (blubber). This is can be up to 30 centimeters in
thickness and serves heat and body fluids.

B. Your Challenge. Listen to Belle, talking about spider. While
listening, complete the missing words. Then, answer the questions.
Uhmm……. do you know Arachnids? I mean, it is a spider. Spiders are not
insects.
I mean spiders are Arachnids. Arachnids have four bite pairs of legs but
they only have two body parts while insects have three pairs of legs and three
body parts. The most surprising thing is that spiders have two to four pair of
eyes. They can see extremely well.
Uhm …. spiders eat small insects such as flies and mosquitoes and you
know what? They sometimes bite people. When a spider bites an insect, it
doesn’t kill the insect immediately but a special poison passes through its
fangs, and this poison paralyzes the body of the unlucky insect.
Most spiders make their own homes. They do this with a special substance
produced by their bodies. In the corner of some rooms it is possible to find a
spider’s web where the spider is waiting for its next dinner guest.

Why do the Sun and the Moon
live in the sky?
(A Nigerian Folk tale )

married the Moon and they lived as happily as can be. They lived in a little
cottage near the Ocean.
You know what? One day, the Sun and the Moon invited the Ocean to their
house for a visit. The Ocean liked it so much. He wanted to stay in a little
cottage. The Sun and the Moon liked the Ocean and hoped the cottage would be
big enough for all three of them.
So the Sun and the Moon invited the Ocean to stay with them. What
happened then? Then came the Ocean with all his friends; the whales, the fish,
the tortoises, the crabs and all the creatures that live in the sea.
Oh my….. The water rose higher and higher in the cottage. Soon, there
was no more room for the Sun and the Moon. Oh, how poor they were. They rose up
into the sky where they have lived ever since. Well, that’s the story.

version of ‘Why do the Sun and the Moon live in the sky?’ (New Mexico version).
Complete the text and answer the questions.
Why do the Sun and the Moon
live in the sky?
(New Mexico Version )
Long time ago, there was no day. It was always dark and always summer.
This was because the Kachina, a very powerful people had stolen the Sun and the
Moon and locked them away in a box. In the light, Coyote and Eagle, two friends
wandered the desert.
Coyote and Eagle had always hunted together, but Coyote could not hunt
anymore because he could not see at night. Coyote suggested that they go to
find the Sun and the Moon and make them light up the world. Eagle was worried.
He reminded Coyote that the Sun and the Moon were very strong and it was dangerous
to try to trick them.
In the end, Eagle agreed to help Coyote. While the Kachina were
sleeping, Coyote and Eagle crept into their village, stole the Sun and the
Moon, and headed into the hills. Coyote told Eagle that he wanted to open the
box containing the Sun and the Moon. Eagle said, “No.” They must wait until
their travels and open it with their eyes closed. Coyote grumbled. He couldn’t
wait to see what was in the box.
Finally, he grew so curious that he threw it open. The light of the Sun
was so bright that it blinded Coyote’s eyes. The Sun and the Moon laughed and
flew far away, up into the sky where they are today.

mosquitoes didn’t buzz, they talked and talked. Then one day when one of them
talked to an iguana and didn’t let the iguana say one word. The iguana just
grumbled and waved her tail until she forgot to say, ‘Hello” to her friend a
snake. After that, everything was in a mess. The snake was so angry that he

Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, was known throughout the ancient world for
her beauty and intelligence. Every man would fall in love with her. Antony, who
with two others ruled Rome after the death of Julius Caesar, went to the East
to meet Cleopatra and discover she was plotting against Rome.
When Antony reached Egypt and saw Cleopatra for the first time, he was
fascinated with her beauty and fell in love with her; he completely forgot his
purpose there.
Antony stayed in Egypt enjoying the lazy and luxurious life with
Cleopatra. Cleopatra was very happy. She asked him to live in Egypt forever.
Meanwhile, Anthony’s fellow ruler in Rome, Octavius was angry to hear
that Antony spent his time in merry-making in Egypt while Rome was threatened
by its enemy, Pompey. So, he arranged a marriage between her sister, Octavia
and Anthony for political reasons and restored the friendship.
Although Antony treated his wife with great kindness and respect, he
longed for Cleopatra in Egypt. In fact, he knew that Octavius was ambitious and
wanted to be a single ruler in Rome. At last Antony went back to Egypt and
joined with Cleopatra against Rome.
This time Octavius could not tolerate Antony so he sent his army to
Actium to fight Antony and Cleopatra’s army. The battle was so fierce that
Antony and Cleopatra lost their armies.
Feeling ashamed of being dishonored, Antony took his own life using his
own sword. Cleopatra was speechless with grief. She couldn’t go on living
without Antony. She told her servants to bring her two poisonous snakes. And
so, dressed in a queen, she prepared for her death. On her throat and her arm
she placed two snakes which bite and killed her instantly.

B : All right….all right. Don’t behave like a five-year old
child, okay?
A : Okay. Now, what’s the story?
B : Well, this is the story. Long, long time ago, a hawk fell in love
with a hen. The hawk flew down from the sky and asked the hen,”Will you marry
me?” You know what? The hen loved the brave, strong hawk in return and wished
to marry him. But she said,” I cannot fly as high as you can. If you give me
time, I may learn to fly as high as you. Then, we can fly together.”
The hawk agreed. Before he went away, he gave the hen a ring. ”This is
to show that you have promised to marry me,” said the hawk. It so happened that
the hen already promised to marry a rooster. So, when the rooster saw the ring,
he became very angry. “Throw that ring away at once!” shouted the rooster. The
hen was so frightened at the rooster’s anger that she threw away the ring
immediately.
When the hawk came a few months later, the hen told him that the truth.
The hawk was so furious that he cursed the hen. “Why didn’t you tell me
earlier? Now, you’ll always be scratching the earth, and I’ll be always be
flying above to catch your children.” said the hawk.
A : The curse seems to have come true, doesn’t it? Thanks for the
story, Mum.
Part G. Sixth Challenge. Listen to the story of Anne Boleyn.
While listening, fill in the blanks with the words you hear. Then, do the
following task.
Anne Boleyn
During the reign of King Henry VIII of England in 1522, Anne Boleyn, the
daughter of Sir Thomas Boleyn and a niece of the Duke of Norfolk, returned to
England from France where she spent her childhood. She became the Lady-in
waiting into the service of Catherine of Aragon, King Henry VIII’s first wife.
She soon caught the eyes of the King. The King tried to make Anne his
mistress but Anne refused it. Her sister, Mary Boleyn had been the king’s
mistress and gained little from it but a scandal. She demanded that the King
marry her. She waited nearly seven years for Henry to obtain an annulment of
his marriage with Catherine of Aragon. In 1532 Henry VIII and Catherine
divorced. It finally took an unavoidable breaking with the Pope in Rome before
they wed in the mid of September in 1533.
A year later Anne was pregnant, but she was unable to give the King the
son he desperately needed for an heir. The King was so disappointed. Their
marriage ended tragically for Anne. She was accused of witchcraft, incest and
adultery. On May 19th, 1536 she was beheaded at the Tower of London.
Ten days after her death, King Henry married to Lady Jane Seymour who was able
to give the king a son, Prince Edward. But this didn’t last long. The young
prince died young. Elisabeth, the daughter of Anne and Henry VIII became
England’s greatest queen.

Cars Should be Banned from
Cities
Cars should be banned from the city. As we all know, cars create
pollution, and cause a lot of road deaths and other accidents.
Firstly, cars, as well as we know, contribute to most of the pollution
in the world. Cars emit a deadly gas that causes illness such as bronchitis,
lung cancers and “triggers” of asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that
people can die from them.
Secondly, a city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars
commonly hit pedestrians in a city, which causes them to die. Cars, today, are
the biggest killers on roads.
In conclusion, cars should be banned from a city for the reasons listed
above.

Part G. Sixth Challenge. Listen to the following interview. While
listening, complete the blanks. Then, answer the questions.
A : Hey guys! Nice to see you again. Welcome back in the “Young
Learners” Program. I’m Lala, your host. Guys, this time I’d like to interview a
high school student, named Melissa. Good morning, Melissa.
B : Good morning, Lala.
A : Well, guys. In this occasion we will be talking about an interesting
topic. Guess what it is…..uhuh…….it’s HOMEWORK! Okay, Melissa do your teachers
always give you homework to do at home ?
B : Most of the time.
A : Hm….really ? How do you feel about it? Is it effective or
ineffective?
B : Well, I personally think that homework is ineffective in developing
student’s skills.
A : Oh, that surprises me. Tell me about that.
B : Well, in the first place, homework is a waste of time, because
you’re just forced to complete tasks that you already know how to do.
A : Now, that’s an interesting point. And then?
B : Hmm….secondly, homework is ineffective because the tasks you do
involve more memory than discovery. Most of the tasks you do are just
repetition and therefore you don’t discover or learn anything.
A : Really?
B : Moreover, I would say that homework is inefficient because when most
kids come home from school they’re usually tired from all the work that they
have done during the day and they probably won’t produce their best work for
the tasks.
A : Okay, Melissa. So, what is your conclusion then?
B : My conclusion is that homework is ineffective and is not the best
way to develop students’ skills.
A : Guys, those are Melissa’s opinion about homework. Now, let’s see
what others say about homework. Well, thank you Melissa. See you.

Bagendit. Well, listen carefully.
Once upon a time in Pasundan land, Garut, West Java, there lived a young
rich widow. She lived in a very beautiful large house in a village near Mount
Situ Patenggang. This young widow lived alone. Although her wealth was
plentiful, she didn’t have any friends at all. You know why? Because she was a
miser. She never helped other poor people in her village, so people in the
village named her Bagendit. It means a wealthy miser. And you know what she
did? She mocked and scorned other people who came to her house for a help. What
happened then?
One day, an old man came to her house. He wanted to get some water from
Bagendit’s well. When he was trying to get a pail of water, Bagendit came out
of the house and hit the old man with a pounder. She beat up the man cruelly
many times. Then, something amazing happened. The old man got up steadily. He
walked closer to Bagendit and pointed his cane to her face.
“Let God curse you, woman! For you are evil and ruthless!” rebuked the
man sharply.
Do you know what happened after that? Suddenly the water from the well
gushed out violently and in a sudden the water flooded over the village.
Bagendit and her beautiful house were drowned in the water.
The village disappeared and nothing was left. There was only a wide and
deep lake and people called it Situ Bagendit. It means the Lake of Bagendit.
Well, that’s the story.

the forest but on the way she returned home. She found Princess Galuh Candra
Kirana preparing meals for her. She felt sorry for her and prayed to God to
help Galuh Candra Kirana.
Putri : Didn’t Raden Kerta Ibnu do something?
Pingkan : Of course, he did. At the end of the story, he met again with
Galuh Candra Kirana. They got married and lived in Kahuripan Kingdom.

T : Students, have you heard the story of Joko Tole?
S : Not yet, ma’am. Would you like to tell us the story?.
T : All right. Here is the story.In the Kingdom of Majapahit, there was
a young strong man. He was from Madura. His name was Joko Tole. He was so
famous for his strength that the king admired him and often gave him a lot of
gifts. And this made several officials feel jealous of him. So, they slandered
Joko Tole. They told that Joko Tole planned to rebel against the king.
S : Did the King believe that?
T : Well, fortunately, the king was a wise man. He made a test for Joko
Tole. He asked Joko Tole to marry his blind daughter. And Joko Tole agreed to
marry her. The King nodded and smiled happily.
S : He must have been faithful to the King.
T : In fact he was. Then, a few days later there was a great wedding
celebration in the kingdom. Joko Tole married Dewi Ratnadi, the King’s
daughter. After the wedding was over, the new married couple asked the King’s
permission to go to Sumenep in Madura. The king permitted them. So Joko Tole
and his wife left Majapahit for Madura. During the journey, Joko Tole cared for
his wife very much. He always guided her gently.
S : What a guy! I wish someday I met a man like him.
T : In short, they arrived in Madura safely. Madura was a dry land. Dewi
Ratnadi wanted to take a bath after a long journey, but there was no water.
S : How unlucky she is.
T : Yes. Joko Tole took his wife’s cane and stabbed it into the ground.
After a while, he pulled the cane out and suddenly, water gushed out from the
hole. The water splashed out onto Dewi Ratnadi’s face. You know what happened
then? Suddenly, DewiRatnadi can see again!!
S : Wow, that’s a miracle!
T : It’s true. You know, until now people call the place of the
spring “Soca”.It means “eyes”.
S : So what’s the end?
T : Well, they lived happily ever after in Sumenep and the people of
Sumenep and the people of Sumenep were also very happy.

Part B. Active Listening. Listen to a story about a schoolboy,
named Michael. Complete the missing words. Then, answer the questions.
Okay students. Listen to me. I have a good story. The story is about a
boy named Michael. He was ten years old. He was not a very good pupil. Why?
Because he didn’t like doing his homework. What did he like then? Oh, he liked
playing in his leisure time. He liked football very much. Do you know why he
didn’t like doing his homework? Because he always made a lot of mistakes when
he did it.
Well, one day, his mathematics teacher looked at Michael’s homework and
found that all his homework was correct. Wow, that’s a good job! Of course
students, the teacher was very pleased and surprised. So, he called Michael to
his office and said to him, “Michael, you’ve got all your homework right this
time. You’re doing great. Well done, Michael. Did your father help you?”
“No, sir” Michael said, “Usually my father did it for me. But last night
he was very busy. He had a meeting. So, he couldn’t do my homework. Then, I had
to do it by myself.”

Part B. Active Listening. Listen to the cassette. Then,
answer the questions.You will hear a radio presenter taking calls during a
segment of ‘BEAUTIFUL WORLD’. Two senior high school students, Sarah and Tuti
call to talk about ‘Quitting litter-bug habits’
A : It’s ten to three and it’s time for our special program today
‘Beautiful World’….. !! Hello, everybody, I’m Ketut Sutiono. I’ll be your host
for about 15 minutes ahead and now we already have two senior high school
students, Sarah and Tuti on the line ready to debate about our topic of the
day: ‘Quashing litter-bug habits.’ If you do care to your environment,
please join the show by sending SMS to us. All you have to do is to type B-W
space Sarah, S-A-R-A-H, or B-W space Tuti, T-U-T-I, and send it to 1313.
Remember, tomorrow, at the end of the segment we will give a cool gift for the
luckiest listener. Okay, back to our topic today: Quashing litter-bug habits.
Listeners, the problem of littering reflects a lack of responsibility on all
sides. Although heavy penalty has already been arranged under government
regulation, many people still drop broken bottles or empty cans in public
places, like parks or streets, even in the river. It’s always interesting to
know how the youth are concerned about social problems like littering. First on
the line is Sarah. Hello. Thank you for being part of our program. Please tell
us what do you think of this bad habit?
B : I am against this bad habit 100%. I personally believe that
throwing litter on the ground is a very bad habit. Everybody knows that.
However, many people do it. I think that’s because they don’t care about a
clean and healthy environment. I would say that these kinds of people are
really really selfish. I mean, don’t they realize the effect of throwing litter
carelessly. And …
A : Okay Sarah, hold on one second. Now the question is: ‘What is your
suggestion or advice for these people’s bad habits?’
B : Well, honestly, I don’t have anything to say to such people who
don’t have awareness to their environment. Maybe we should just let them do
whatever they want but when there are disasters like floods or disease, don’t
help them!
A : Well, well, well .… I don’t know how to comment on that. How about
you listeners, are you going to support Sarah’s opinion? If you do, send your
SMS to 1313. And now, our next participant is Tuti. Hello Tuti… sorry, you’ve
been holding on very patiently. Do you have any different opinion about this
bad habit?
C : Honestly, I always feel so bad every time I see people throwing
litter on the ground instead of intothe litter bin. Don’t they understand that
this bad habit is a dangerous thing? If we step on a banana skin, for example,
we can slip and fall down and get injured. And the worst thing of throwing
litter carelessly is that our environment will get dirty and the air will full
of bad odors. Really, it isn’t good at all.
A : I agree with you, Tuti. So, what’s your suggestion to overcome this
bad habit?
C : It’s so simple, Mr. Ketut. I believe that we must start it from our
homes. We have to clean our gardens and also keep our neighborhood clean.
A : All right, Tuti. Now dearest listeners, are you going to support
Tuti’s or Sarah’s opinion? It’s all up to you, dearest listeners. Just send
your SMS as many as possible. And the luckiest listener will be announced
tomorrow at the same time and the same program here in ‘Beautiful World’. So
don’t miss it, okay. And thank you very much, Sarah, Tuti. All in all, time’s
up. I’m Ketut Sutiono sign out. Bye.

Part C. Enjoy This. Listen to the following conversation between
a daughter and her mother. While listening, complete the text below. Then,
answer the questions.
A : Morning, Mom, look here. Yes page 5, column 1. Read it carefully,
Mom.
B : Morning, dear. Good news? Okay, let me see. You mean “ Tap water
should be free of charge.” It’s good news, isn’t it?
A : Read the issue more closely Mom.
B : Mm…The tap water rate increase, one of the automatic increases will
take place every six months for the next five years. The city administration
says the money collected from the increase will be used to pay an outstanding
debt of 938 billion rupiahs to its foreign water company partner. Oh, dear. I
can understand an increase in fuel and gas prices, but water is supposed to be
subsidized by the government.
A : It annoys me too, Mom. I have been thinking about the impact of the
water rate hike. I realize it depends on who’s using it. But as far as I know
most of the users are low-income families, who are already suffering from the
recent fuel and gas price hike.
B : Maybe, it is because Jakartans are mostly business people, ranging
from street vendors to tycoons and you know dear, they use large amount of
water.
A : Well, you’re right but still I think that the government should
provide water for free because it is a public resource. If the tap water rate
increase is a must, I hope that the increase will improve service.
B : Oh, I think I can’t stand it anymore. How can we manage our life
with our same amount of salary?
A : Okay, Mom, but don’t be so scared. You still have me.
B : Oh, thank you dear. Okay, let’s enjoy our breakfast.

Part C. Second Challenge. Listen to the cassette. Fill in the
blanks. Then, answer the questions.
Crime in Cities
Crime is a serious problem in big cities and it is getting worse every
year. This is what police departments around the country said in their reports
last week. The subways and streets are more dangerous. You may not even be safe
in your own houses.
Why is the problem so serious now? This is not an easy question to
answer. There may not be a single answer. Many problems together seem to make
cities so dangerous from time to time.
One more of the problems is money. To fight crime a city needs police
officers, cars, and guns. These cost a lot of money. But right now cities do
not have much extra money. So, there are not enough police officers, cars and
guns for the cities.
Another problem is drugs. Crime studies have shown that many criminals
use and sell drugs. After they start taking drugs, they want to have more.
However, drugs are very expensive. So, these people have to sell drugs to other
people to make money or they may steal money to get more drugs.
There is an even more important cause of crime. Cities have rich and
poor neighborhoods. In the poor neighborhoods, jobs are hard to find. Many
young people don’t have much hope for a better life. They only know one way to
make a better living for themselves, that way is to sell drugs or steal. So,
some of these young people have become criminals.
It is not going to be easy to change these crime problems. We must first
change many of laws about drugs. We must change the way cities spend their
money. Until then, the crime problem will not go away and we will live our
lives in fear.
