Text for question 1-2

My Experience as an Intern at a Sports Club

Last summer, I had the opportunity to work as an intern at a local sports club. It was my first time working in a professional sports environment, and I was both nervous and excited. The internship went through a few phases, starting from orientation until finally jumping in to help during practices and games.

On my first day, I met the head coach, who welcomed me and explained my tasks. I had to set up cones for drills, bring water for the players, and check the training schedules. The first few days were challenging because I was not used to the morning routine. Every morning I had to wake up early, arrive on time, and follow instructions carefully. I worried about making mistakes, but the coaches were kind and guided me.

In the second month of my internship, I was trained to handle emergency situations. I got the chance to put that knowledge into practice when something unexpected happened. During football practice, a player fell and hurt his ankle. Everyone stopped, and I quickly ran to get the first aid kit. I helped the coach assess the injury and ensured the player stayed calm while we got him seated safely. Luckily, it wasn't serious, but the experience reinforced an important lesson: staying alert and prepared during emergencies can make a big difference.

At the end of my internship, the coaches held an evaluation and reflection session where they shared the results of their feedback. They highlighted my strengths in teamwork, responsibility, and communication, and even gave me a club T-shirt as a gift. I felt proud because I had improved in these areas. It was a great experience, and I hope to work in a sports club again in the future.

Social Media Harms Teen Mental Health

In today's world, social media is a big part of many teenagers' daily lives. While it has some benefits, such as staying connected with friends, meeting new people, and learning about interesting topics, it also brings serious problems. I strongly believe that social media harms teen mental health, and we must pay more attention to this issue before it becomes even worse.

First, social media often makes teenagers compare themselves to others in an unhealthy way. When teens see pictures of people who seem perfect, they feel that they are not good enough. These feelings can lower self-esteem and lead to sadness, anxiety, or even depression. The problem is that many of these online posts are edited, filtered, or fake, but teens still feel pressure to look or live the same way. They may think that their own life is boring or not successful, which is simply not true.

Second, too much time on social media affects sleep and study habits. Many teenagers use their phones late at night, checking messages or watching videos, which reduces sleep time and quality. Without enough sleep, teens cannot focus well in class, and their grades may suffer. This can increase stress and worry about the future, making them feel overwhelmed.

Finally, online bullying, or cyberbullying, is another serious danger. Unlike face-to-face bullying, it can happen at any time and be shared with many people. Victims of cyberbullying often feel alone, scared, and helpless, and in some cases, it leads to serious mental health problems.

In conclusion, although social media has some good uses, its harm to teen mental health is much greater. Teenagers need support from parents, teachers, and society to use it wisely. Schools should teach students how to use social media in healthy ways, and parents should guide their children to take breaks and spend time offline. By doing this, we can help protect young people's mental health in this digital age.

3. Which of the following additional facts would most likely make the text more persuasive?

There is more than one correct answer.

A. Research data showing the number of teenagers experiencing anxiety or depression because of social media.
B. Personal stories from teenagers who feel happier after reducing their social media use.
C. Statistics about how many teenagers use social media every day.
D. A list of the most popular social media platforms among teenagers.
E. Expert opinions from doctors or psychologists about the dangers of social media for mental health.

Jawaban:
A. Research data showing the number of teenagers experiencing anxiety or depression because of social media.
B. Personal stories from teenagers who feel happier after reducing their social media use.
E. Expert opinions from doctors or psychologists about the dangers of social media for mental health.

4. What is the most prominent impression you gain from the text?

There is more than one correct answer!

A. Social media makes teenagers unhappy because they compare their lives to unrealistic images online.
B. Teenagers should completely stop using social media to protect their mental health.
C. Using social media too much can disturb teenagers' sleep and make it harder for them to focus at school.
D. Cyberbullying is a serious problem on social media and can make teenagers feel lonely and scared.
E. The text explains that social media has only negative effects without any positive sides.

Exploring Bali's Natural Wonders

Bali, a beautiful island in Indonesia, is known for its stunning landscapes and rich culture. While many come for the beaches and temples, the island also offers natural attractions that amaze nature lovers from around the world. From national parks and waterfalls to terraced rice fields, Bali is full of natural beauty.

In the west lies West Bali National Park, a peaceful area filled with green forests, calm mangrove swamps, and colorful coral reefs along the sea. The air is fresh, and the scenery feels untouched. One of the park's most special sights is the Bali Starling-a rare white bird with bright blue around its eyes. Its soft song adds magic to the quiet forest. Visitors can walk along clear paths and enjoy the rich variety of plants and animals in this protected area.

Heading north, travelers find the scenic Munduk Waterfall, surrounded by green hills and forests. Water flows gently over rocky cliffs into a cool clear pool. Mist rises into the air, mixing with the calming sound of falling water. The walk to the waterfall passes through narrow paths lined with coffee and clove trees. Their fresh scent fills the air, offering a pleasant and peaceful experience. Munduk is the perfect place to relax and enjoy Bali's natural charm.

Near the cultural center Ubud, the famous Tegalalang rice terraces stretch across the hills in green steps. These terraces are shaped by generations of farmers who work the land by hand. In the morning, mist rises above the fields, and sunlight reflects off the water in the paddies. Farmers in wide-brimmed hats plant rice carefully, their feet sinking into the soft earth. Water flows gently through small canals, keeping the fields healthy and green. The quiet surroundings and slow rhythm of farm life create a peaceful and inspiring scene.

These natural wonders highlight Bali's dedication in preserving its environmental and cultural treasures. By exploring these sites, tourists not only experience the island's scenic beauty but also support ongoing conservation efforts, helping to ensure that Bali's wonders last for future generations.

5. What is the main purpose of visiting these places: to support conservation or to relax?

A. Munduk Waterfall: Conservation / Relaxation
B. West Bali National Park: Conservation / Relaxation
C. Tegalalang Rice Terraces: Conservation / Relaxation

Pros and Cons of Savings Account
The traditional way to save money for families and individuals was to put your money into savings account, and then allow it to grow interest from there. Times have changed, and now some people think that the savings accounts that we once used and loved aren't as valuable to us anymore.

Savings accounts are fundamental money management tools that can help you meet your long- and short-term financial needs. Knowing the pros and cons of savings accounts can help you figure out how to use them effectively.

The most obvious advantage of a saving account is that deposited funds accrue interest over time. Money under your mattress or in a home safe misses out on valuable earning potential. The rate you earn depends on where you deposit your money. Online banks tend to offer more competitive interest rates because their overhead expenses are lower than those of brick-and-mortar banks. Another important advantage is security. When you place your money in a bank, the government insures it up to the maximum amount allowed by law. So, compared to a number of other options, your money is safe in a savings account.

Compared with certificates of deposit (CDs) and other higher-interest bank products, savings accounts generally pay a lower rate of interest. In other words, the interest that you get on your money saved is very low. If you're willing to keep your money deposited for a specific time period-anywhere from a few months to a few years, depending on what you choose you generally can earn more interest with a CD than with a savings account. Some banks charge fees on their savings accounts. Be sure to compare the terms of different banks and look for those that offer savings accounts with no monthly maintenance fees.

Saving money for the future is an essential part of making responsible financial decisions. It's worth your time to weigh the pros and cons before deciding on a savings account that works for you.

16. What is the greatest benefit of saving money in a bank according to the passage?

A. Saving money in a bank is more secure.

17. How many kinds of way to save money according to the passage?

A. 5
B. 4
C. 3
D. 2
E. 1

Kunci Jawaban: D. 2

18. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

A. The periodic rise of customer's deposit.
B. The secure way to save money in a bank.
C. The beneficial arguments of saving money in a bank.
D. The drawbacks of saving account in state or private bank.
