Inilah Isi pidato tersebut: (sumber The Collage Foundation) *

 

Halo, nama Saya Severn Suzuki, berbicara mewakili E.C.O - Enviromental

Children Organization

 

Kami Adalah Kelompok dari kanada yg terdiri dari anak" berusia 12 dan 13

tahun. Yang mencoba membuat Perbedaan: Vanessa Suttie, Morga, Geister,

Michelle Quiq dan saya sendiri. Kami menggalang dana untuk bisa datang

kesini sejauh 6000 mil. Untuk memberitahukan pada anda sekalian orang

dewasa bahwa anda harus mengubah cara anda, Hari ini Disini juga. Saya

tidak memiliki agenda tersembunyi. Saya menginginkan masa depan bagi

diri saya saja.

 

Kehilangan masa depan tidaklah sama seperti kalah dalam pemilihan umum

atau rugi dalam pasar saham. Saya berada disini untuk berbicara bagi

semua generasi yg akan datang.

 

Saya berada disini mewakili anak" yg kelaparan di seluruh dunia yang

tangisannya tidak lagi terdengar.

 

Saya berada disini untuk berbicara bagi binatang" yang sekarat yang

tidak terhitung jumlahnya diseluruh planet ini karena kehilangan habitat

nya. kami tidak boleh tidak di dengar.

 

Saya merasa takut untuk berada dibawah sinar matahari karena berlubang

nya lapisan OZON. Saya merasa takut untuk bernafas karena saya tidak

tahu ada bahan kimia apa yg dibawa oleh udara.

 

Saya sering memancing di Vancouver bersama ayah saya hingga beberapa

tahun yang lalu kami menemukan bahwa ikan"nya penuh dengan kanker. Dan

sekarang kami mendengar bahwa binatang" dan tumbuhan satu persatu

mengalami kepunahan tiap harinya - hilang selamanya.

 

Dalam hidup saya, saya memiliki mimpi untuk melihat kumpulan besar

binatang" liar, hutan rimba dan hutan tropis yang penuh dengan burung

dan kupu". tetapi sekarang saya tidak tahu apakah hal" tersebut bahkan

masih ada untuk dilihat oleh anak saya nantinya.

 

Apakah anda sekalian harus khawatir terhadap masalah" kecil ini ketika

anda sekalian masih berusia sama seperti saya sekarang?

 

Semua ini terjadi di hadapan kita dan walaupun begitu kita masih tetap

bersikap bagaikan kita masih memiliki banyak waktu dan semua pemecahan

nya. Saya hanyalah seorang anak kecil dan saya tidak memiliki semua

pemecahan nya tetapi saya ingin anda sekalian menyadari bahwa anda

sekalian juga sama seperti saya!

 

Anda tidak tahu bagaimana caranya memperbaiki lubang pada lapisan ozon

kita.

Anda tidak tahu bagaiman cara mengembalikan ikan-ikan salmon ke sungai

asalnya.

Anda tidak tahu bagaimana caranya mengembalikan binatang-binatang yang

telah punah.

 

Dan anda tidak dapat mengembalikan Hutan-Hutan seperti sediakala di

tempatnya yang sekarang hanya berupa padang pasir...

Jika anda tidak tahu bagaima cara memperbaikinya.

TOLONG BERHENTI MERUSAKNYA!

 

Disini anda adalah deligasi negara-negara anda. Pengusaha, Anggota

perhimpunan, wartawan atau politisi - tetapi sebenernya anda adalah ayah

dan ibu, saudara laki" dan saudara perempuan, paman dan bibi - dan anda

semua adalah anak dari seseorang.

 

Saya hanyalah seorang anak kecil, namun saya tahu bahwa kita semua

adalah bagian dari sebuah keluarga besar, yang beranggotakan lebih dari

5 milyar, terdiri dari 30 juta rumpun dan kita semua berbagi udara, air

dan tanah di planet yang sama - perbatasan dan pemerintahan tidak akan

mengubah hal tersebut.

 

Saya Hanyalah seorang anak kecil namun begitu saya tahu bahwa kita semua

menghadapi permasalahan yang sama dan kita seharusnya bersatu untuk

tujuan yang sama.

 

Walaupun marah, namun saya tidak buta, dan walaupun takut, saya tidak

ragu untuk memberitahukan dunia apa yang saya rasakan.

 

Di Negara saya, kami sangat banyak melakukan penyia-nyiaan, kami membeli

sesuatu dan kemudian membuang nya, beli dan kemudian buang. walaupun

begitu tetap saja negara" di utara tidak akan berbagi dengan mereka yang

memerlukan.

Bahkan ketika kita memiliki lebih dari cukup, kita merasa takut untuk

kehilangan sebagian kekayaan kita, kita takut untuk berbagi.

 

Di Kanada kami memiliki kehidupan yang nyaman, dengan sandang, pangan

dan papan yang berkecukupan - kami memiliki jam tangan, sepeda, komputer

dan perlengkapan televisi.

 

Dua hari yang lalu di Brazil sini, kami terkejut ketika kami

menghabiskan waktu dengan anak" yang hidup di jalanan. Dan salah satu

anak tersebut memberitahukan kepada kami: " Aku berharap aku kaya , dan

jika Aku kaya, Aku akan memberikan anak" jalanan makanan, pakaian dan

obat-obatan, tempat tinggal . dan Cinta dan Kasih sayang " ..

 

Jika seorang anak yang berada dijalanan yang tidak memiliki apapun,

bersedia untuk berbagi, mengapa kita yang memiliki segalanya masih

begitu serakah?

 

Saya tidak dapat berhenti memikirkan bahwa anak" tersebut berusia sama

dengan saya , bahwa tempat kelahiran anda dapat membuat perbedaan yang

begitu besar. bahwa saya bisa saja menjadi salah satu dari anak" yang

hidup di Favellas di Rio; saya bisa saja menjadi anak yang kelaparan di

Somalia ; seorang korban perang timur tengah atau pengemis di India ..

 

Saya hanyalah Seorang anak kecil namun saya tahu bahwa jika semua Uang

yang dihabiskan untuk perang dipakai untuk mengurangi tingkat

kemisikinan dan menemukan jawaban terhadap permasalahan alam, betapa

indah jadinya dunia ini.

 

Di sekolah, bahkan di taman kanak-kanak anda mengajarkan kami untuk

berbuat baik. Anda mengajarkan pada kami untuk tidak berkelahi dengan

orang lain.

Mencari jalan keluar, membereskan kekacauan yang kita timbulkan.

Tidak menyakiti makhluk hidup lain, Berbagi dan tidak tamak..

 

Lalu mengapa anda kemudian melakukan hal yang anda ajarkan pada kami

supaya tidak boleh dilakukan tersebut?

 

Jangan lupakan mengapa anda menghadiri Konfrensi ini. mengapa anda

melakukan hal ini - kami adalah anak" anda semua , Anda sekalianlah yang

memutuskan dunia seperti apa yang akan kami tinggali. Orang tua seharus

nya dapat memberikan kenyamanan pada anak" mereka dengan mengatakan "

Semuanya akan baik-baik saja ". 'kami melakukan yang terbaik yang dapat

kami lakukan' dan ' ini bukanlah akhir dari segalanya'

 

Tetapi saya tidak merasa bahwa anda dapat mengatakan hal tersebut kepada

kami lagi. Apakah kami bahkan ada dalam daftar prioritas anda semua?

Ayah saya selalu berkata ' kamu akan selalu dikenang karena perbuatan mu

bukan oleh kata" mu '

 

Jadi, apa yang anda lakukan membuat saya menangis pada malam hari.

kalian orang dewasa berkata bahwa kalian menyayangi kami.

 

Saya menantang A N D A , cobalah untuk mewujudkan kata" tersebut.

 

Sekian dan terima kasih atas perhatian nya. *

 

Servern Cullis-Suzuki telah membungkam 1 ruang sidang Konfrensi PBB,

membungkam seluruh Orang" penting dari seluruh dunia hanya dengan

pidatonya, setelah pidato nya selesai serempak seluruh Orang yang hadir

diruang pidato tersebut berdiri dan memberikan tepuk tangan yang meriah

kepada anak berusia 12 tahun.

 

dan setelah itu ketua PBB mengatakan dalam pidato nya..

 

" Hari ini Saya merasa sangatlah Malu terhadap Diri saya sendiri karena

saya baru saja disadarkan betapa pentingnya lingkungan dan isinya

disekitar kita oleh Anak yang hanya berusia 12 tahun yang maju berdiri

di mimbar ini tanpa selembar pun Naskah untuk berpidato, sedang kan saya

maju membawa berlembar naskah yang telah dibuat oleh assisten saya

kemarin? Saya ... tidak kita semua dikalahkan oleh anak yang berusia 12

tahun "

 

Cerita ini benar" terjadi dan pidato severn Cullis-Suzuki itu benar"

pidato yang dikatakan nya dalam pidato tersebut tanpa dilebih" kan .

 

Apa yang anda dapat dari cerita tersebut?

 

* *Tolong sebarkan e-mail ini ke semua orang yang anda kenal, bukan

untuk mendapatkan nasib baik atau kesialan kalau tidak mengirimkan, tapi

mari kita bersama-sama membuka mata semua orang di dunia bahwa bumi

sekarang sedang dalam keadaan sekarat dan kita-lah manusia yang

membuatnya seperti ini yang harus bertindak untuk mencegah kehancuran

dunia. *

Questions 17 – 23

 The locations of stars in the sky relative to one another, do not appear to the naked eye to change, and as a result stars are often considered to be fixed in position. Many unaware stargazers falsely assume that each star has its own permanent home in the nighttime sky.
 In reality, though, stars are always moving, but because of the tremendous distances between stars themselves and from stars to Earth, the changes are barely perceptible here. An example of a rather fast-moving star demonstrate why this misconception prevails; it takes approximately 200 years for a relatively rapid star like Bernard’s star to move a distance in the skies equal to the diameter of the earth’s moon. When the apparently negligible movement of the stars is contrasted with the movement of the planets, the stars are seemingly unmoving.

17. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. What the Eye Can See in the Sky
B. Bernard’s Star
C. Planetary Movement
D. The Ever moving Stars

Answer: D. (The Evermoving Stars)

18. The expression “naked eye” in line 1 most probably refers to

A. .a telescope
B. a scientific method for observing stars
C. unassisted vision
D. a camera with a powerful lens

Answer: C. (unassisted vision)

19. According to the passage, the distance between the stars and Earth are

A. barely perceptible
B. huge
C. fixed
D. moderate

Answer: A. (barely perceptible)


20. The word “perceptible” in line 5 is closest in meaning to which of the following

A. Noticeble
B. Persuasive
C. Conceivable
D. Astonishing

Answer: A. (Noticeble)

21. In line 6, a “misconception” is closest in meaning to a(n)

A. idea
B. proven fact
C. erroneous belief
D. theory

Answer: C. (erroneous belief )

English (5 Paragraph Esay) 11

HALLOWEEN

                Many of the ancient people of Europe marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter by celebrating a holiday in late autumn. The most important of these holidays that influence later Halloween customs was Samhain, a holiday observed by the ancient Celts, a tribal people who inhabited most of Western and Central Europe in the first millennium BC. Among the Celts, Samhain marked the end of one year and the beginning of the next. It was one of four Celtic holidays linked to important transition in the annual cycle of seasons.

                Samhain began at sundown on October 31 and extended into the following day. According to the Celtic pagan religion, known as Druidism, the spirits of those who had died in the preceding year roamed the earth on Samhain evening. The Celts sought to earth off these spirits with offerings of food and drink. The Celts also built bonfires at sacred hilltop sites and performed rituals, often involving human and animal sacrifices, to honor Druid deities.

                In Britain, Romans blended local Samhain customs with their own pagan harvest festival honoring Pomona, goddess of fruit trees. Some scholars have suggested that the game of bobbing for apples derives from this Roman association of the holiday with fruit.

                In British folklore, small magician beings known as fairies became associated with Halloween mischief. The jack-o’-lantern, originally carved from a large turnip rather than a pumpkin, originated in medieval Scotland. Various methods of predicting the future, especially concerning matters of romance and marriage, were also prominent features of Halloween throughout the British Isles.

                Between the 15th and 17th centuries, Europe was seized by a hysterical fear of witches, leading to the persecution of thousands of innocent women. Witches were thought to ride flying brooms and to assume the forms of black cats. These images of witches soon joined other European superstitions as symbol of Halloween.
