A mobile phone (also known as a wireless phone, cell phone, or cellular telephone) is a very small portable radio telephone.
The first mobile phone networks were created in the late 1970s in Japan. A cell phone combines technologies, mainly telephone, radio, and computer. Cell phones work as two-way radios. They send electromagnetic microwaves from one base station to other one. The waves are sent through antennas. This is called wireless communication. There are different kinds of phones. A flip phone flips open, and is best for calling. A bar phone is shaped like a candy bar, and the keys and screen are on one face. A slate phone is a phone that has almost no buttons, and uses a touch screen. Most Smartphone are slates. A slider phone slides on rails. It can slide out number keys or a mini keyboard, but some do both. A swivel spins on an axle.
Many 21st century mobile phones are Smartphone. These phones can be used for email, browsing the internet, playing music and games, and many other functions that computers can perform. This is because mobile phones basically are small computers. Older phones also used computer technology, but lacked many of the parts of a computer that were too big to fit into a phone.

Annabel Lee
By Edgar Allan Poe
By Edgar Allan Poe
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A winds blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulcher
In this kingdom by the sea.

Lilo and Stitch 2
Lilo and Stitch 2 is a little darker in tone. This VCD focuses primarily on Stitch, Lilo, and Lilo’s sister Nani.
It begins with Stitch’s bad dream about coming back to wreck havoc on the island, including threatening his friend Lilo. Something is making Stitch go back into his old, naughty ways. In making his diagnosis, Jumba reveals at last story of his creation of Stitch, and how something that went wrong due to a fault when Jumba originally created him and if it isn’t somehow fixed, Stitch will die! Unfortunately, Stitch disorderly actions always seem to interfere with Lilo’s important preparation for the May-day-hula competition - a competition that Lilo desperately wants to win in her mother’s memory. This sets up the main conflict with Lilo: is a victory in the hula competition, her attempt to get closer to the memory of her mother, more important than her continued friendship with Stitch, who suddenly seems intent on wrecking everything? Jumba goes to work creating a fusion chamber that will re-charge Stitch molecules and wash out his badness, but he can’t seem to build one that works. In the end, it’s Lilo’s faith in herself and the power of Ohana that offers the only chance to cure Stitch and fill his goodness level to the top.
This film captures the emotional pitch of the original movie, while in some ways, deepening the characters. One main plot thread involves Lilo attempting to win the annual hula competition. For the first time, the movie explicitly mentions her mother. Lilo is initially depressed, because she doesn’t have a mom to help her make her costume for the contest. Moses awakens her interest by showing Lilo an old scrapbook, with pictures of her mom, winning the hula contest! Lilo is also searching for inspiration for her hula dance, which conveys the spirit of aloha.
It’s a four star movie, especially for the wonderful heartfelt ending.

Recycling – It’s not easy being green.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Every day, we are told that we need to take more care of our environment. But it’s not that easy being green – or is it?
Over the past few years, local councils have tried to make it easier for people to be green. They provide different colored bins so residents know where to put their rubbish. Added to these colored bins are pictures on the bins showing what is allowed and what is not. These steps make it simple for people to recycle most of their household waste and help protect our environment. People need to look after our country. It certainly is inspiring to see so many people collecting rubbish from their local areas and the best bit is that most of it is recycled.
But on the other hand, some people find that the idea of recycling takes too much of their time. They can’t be bothered to sort their rubbish, and would rather just send it all to our ever growing tips and dumps. They don’t stop to think about what will happen 10, 20 or 30 years down the track when these places are full. Other narrow minded people believe that one person can’t make a difference.
Well, they’re wrong. Every item that is recycled is a bonus for our environment as we learn to use our resources in a more efficient way so that they last for years to come. Recycling is not that hard when you think about it. Almost everything we use can be recycled, from paper to glass to plastic. It makes sense to do everything we can help protect our environment for the future. Green is the best color of all!
30. What is the purpose of writing the text?
A. To contribute ideas how to recycle paper, glass or plastic.
B. To persuade people to recycle their paper, glass or plastic rubbish.
C. To provide information so that people know where to put their rubbish.
D. To present two different points of view about caring the environment green.
E. To support arguments of people that recycling takes too much of their time.
31. What are the main ideas of the second paragraph and the third paragraph?
A. The government makes regulation to recycle rubbish; the people follow the regulation.
B. The government provides facility to put the rubbish correctly; the people do not care about it.
C. The government provides pictures of rubbish bins; the people follow the government policy.
D. The government shows what is allowed and what is not; the people sort their rubbish before dumping it.
E. The government makes the people to be green; the people think about the effects of dumping rubbish in incorrect bins.

One of them was Mr. JH Abendanon who strongly supported Kartini’s idea.
- Although she had passed away, her spirit and brilliant ideas remain alive and inspire Indonesian women to continue the struggle to make her dream come true. Even her spirit made a Dutch figure, Mr.JH Abendanon, compiled and published her letters sent to her friends in Europe entitle “Duisternis DOOR TOT Licht” or “from the dusk to the dawn”.
- When she was 12 years old, she had to quit studying because she had to do “pingit” at that time, a rule of Javanese custom that forbade woman to go outside before marriage. Finally, on 12th November 1983 she was married to Raden Adipati Joyodiningrat.
- Raden Adjeng Kartini was born in Jepara on April 21, 1876. She came from a noble family. Her father, Raden Mas Adipati Ario Sosroningrat, was wedana (assistant of the regency head governing Jepara at that time), while her mother, MA Ngasirah, was descended from the common people. Unlike the other children in general, she felt lucky because she could get education supported by her parents. She studied at ELS School (Europese Lagere School). She studied Dutch language there, so that she could speak Dutch language very well.
- After getting married, R.A Kartini never stopped learning. She continued to study in her own house by reading a lot of European books and magazines.

Drugs is an abbreviation of Narcotic and other dangerous medicines. Besides drugs, another term to call them is NAPZA which stands for Narcotics, Phsycotropica and other addictive substances (hazardous materials). Drugs are very dangerous for us. However, nowadays these drugs have been widely circulated in the community both in urban, rural, and even circulated in law enforcement agencies circle. Many factors lead people to use drugs especially for teenagers. The main factor that causes teens to use drugs is crisis of identity. They are searching for their identity which they have not met yet so that they are easily tempted by drugs. Another factor is family factor. There are so many families who do not pay attention to their children, especially for broken home families. These drug users do not know that drugs can have a negative impact on its users; the following are the adverse effects that could be caused by the drug.
In terms of health, drugs can harm organs in our body. Substances which are contained in the drug can damage brain and kidneys when it is consumed continuously.

In addition, the use of drugs also can make the user depressed, and cause various dangerous diseases such as liver disease, schizophrenia, blood clots, dehydration, optic nerve damage, brain damage, and ultimately can lead to DEATH!
Moreover, for teenagers drugs can ruin their future and jeopardize the future of this nation. Teens who use drugs will feel lazy to learn and have no spirit or desire to live. They will only be seduced by momentary pleasures offered by drug. In addition to, drugs also harm our nation. We can see from data collected by the government that 32 percent of drug users in Indonesia are teenagers. Nearly half of teenagers in Indonesia had been using drugs, whereas they are future generation for this nation. What would happen if the successors of our nation are the generation who are lazy and like to do bad action.
