SCRIPT :

TEXT 1 :

I have a pet. It is a dog and I call it Brownie.

Brownie is a Chinese breed. It is small, fluffy, and cute. It has got thick brown fur. When I cuddle it, the fur feels soft. Brownie does not like bones. Every day it eats soft food like steamed rice, fish or bread. Every morning I give her milk and bread. When I am at school, Brownie plays with my cat. They get along well, and never fight maybe because Brownie does not bark a lot. It treats the other animals in our house gently, and it never eats shoes. Brownie is really a sweet and friendly animal.

My New short story

Ruang terasa lengang ketika tantri baru saja membuka ruang tengah. tampak beberapa foto usang yang masih tergantung sejak beberapa tahun yang lalu, tidak pernah berubah posisi masih tetap disana, masih tetap dengan bingkai usang namun cukup punya makna bagi tantri untuk menghilangkan rasa rindu pada anak anaknya. mereka sekarang sudah punya kehidupan masing masing. ruangan yang tidak begitu besar, dulunya tempat anak anak nya menghabiskan waktu mereka untuk nonton tv, bermain PS atau mungkin ruang yang sekaligus mereka gunakan untuk belajar dan makan.yah....semua tinggal kenangan, karna anak anak sudah beranjak menuju kedewasaan, tiga orang anak yang dulunya saling berebut mainan, makanan, bahkan beradu mulut memperjuangkan keegoan mereka...tak terasa air mata tantri menetes mengingat banyak hal hal yang sangat dia rindukan.
    " Bu,..Ibu....Beli tahu gak bu..." suara Mba min mengagetkan tantri, penjual tahu langganan yang setiap hari lewat didepan rumah. kasian sekali mba Min kalau tidak dibeli tahunya...
    " Ya wes mba , 5 potong aja" tantri menjawab sambil berlari kecil mencari tasnya yang dia taruh di meja belajar.
    " Kok sepi, bu. apa anak anak gak pulang", mba Min menaruh potongan tahu pada meja teras depan rumah sambil sesekali menatap ruang tengah yang masih berantakan belum disapu.
    " yah..biasa mba kalo hari kamis sepi, besok biasanya baru ramai ,mbak" tantri menjawab seadanya, padahal belum tentu anak anaknya datang besok karena Tantri tau kalo mereka sibuk dengan pekerjaan mereka masing masing.

Soal Soal Explanation text

Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air pollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a pH value as low as 2.8.

Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain.

Acid rain comes from sulphur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulphur dioxide (SO2 ). Most sulphur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulphur dioxide (SO2 ) and most nitrogen is also emitted as one of the nitrogen oxides (NO or NO2 ), both of which are gases. The gases may be dry deposited–absorbed directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for any time, the gases will oxidise (gain an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids. Sulphuric acid (H2 SO4 ) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid (HNO3 ). The acids usually dissolve in cloud droplets and may travel great distances before being precipitated as acid rain. Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone and ammonium help promote the formation of acids in clouds. More ammonium (NH4 ) can be formed when some of the acids are partially neutralised by airborne ammonia (NH3 ). Acidication increases with the number of active hydrogen (H+) ions dissolved in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by for example, car exhausts will react in sunlight with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable in the atmosphere, low level ozone causes respiratory problems and also hastens the formation of acid rain. When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates heavy metals and aluminium (Al). When it is washed into lakes, aluminium irritates the outer surfaces of many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls. Forests suffer the effect of acid rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vital nutrients, and through the increased amounts of toxic metals liberated by acid, which damage roots and soil micro organisms.
