Dear Mr. Harrison,

We have provided him will all clothes on the list except the red athletics vests and the blue shorts. He has already grown out of last year’s pair, but we only discovered this yesterday and the local shop doesn’t have any in the stock. I shall get some next week and forward them by post.
We were very pleased that Jamie took to boarding – school life so well in his first year, and we trust he will continue to be happy. We are both very grateful to you for being so helpful last year, and we look forward to having another talk with you at the parent – teacher meeting next month.

Mangrove Trees
A mangrove is tropical marine tree or shrub of the genus Rhizhopora. Mangroves have special serial roots and salt-filtering tap roots that enable them to thrive in brackish water (brackish water is salty, but not as salty as sea water).
There are several species of mangrove trees found all over the world. Some prefer more salinity, while others like to be very close to a large fresh water source (such as river). Some prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some species have their roots covered with sea water everyday during high tide. Other species grow on a dry land, but are still part of the ecosystem.
Mangroves need to keep their trunk and leaves above the surface of the water. Yet they also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves. There are three types of the mangrove roots that play an important role for it:
1. Support roots which directly pierce the soil.
2. Level-growing roots which twist upwards and downwards, with the upward twist emerging on the water surface.
3. Level-growing roots whose downward twist (sub roots) appear on the water surface.
Any part of a root that appears above the water flows oxygen to the plant under the water surface. As the soil begins to build up, these roots produce additional roots that become embedded in the soil.
39. What is the topic of the text above?
a. The characteristics of mangroves

Bio fuel is very much needed now(M. Yanuar, XII science 4 – 08)
Bio fuel is an alternative energy that does not use fossil energy. And now in the world, bio fuel is very needed for many reasons.
First, fossil fuel become rare now. Fossil fuel has been exploited all over the world. Where as, to make fossil fuel we need at least an hundred million years. So how we must live without fuel until an hundred million years later.
Second, many people have found many bio fuel, especially in Indonesia scientists have found many kinds of bio fuel, such as biogas (fuel from animal feces), “banyu geni” (fuel from water), bio ethanol (fuel from plants) and others. So for what if we don’t use it, whereas now fossil fuel become rare and more.
Third, bio fuel is cheaper than fossil fuel. From the founders of many kinds of bio fuel, they said that bio fuel is cheaper than fossil fuel. It is because bio fuel doesn’t use many sophisticated equipments and processes. And both of quality is the same.
From the reasons above, we conclude that we must use bio fuel to change fossil fuel that now we use. Because bio fuel is more renewable and cheaper than fossil fuel.

Regarding toxic ingredient in cooking, people usually assume that
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a potentially toxic food additive. But
actually there is no study which has proven it. The fact is that MSG is
still being researched to understand what effect the rise in serum
glutamate will have post-MSG consumption.
No study has provided a clear demonstration that MSG as a food additive
is either harmful or safe. Glutamate is common in many foods such as
cheese, peas, and meat. Research has indicated that dietary of glutamate
currently used as an additive to food have shown no significant
health risk and such MSG is not considered a toxic substance by the US
Food and Drug Administration.
However, it does not alleviate MSG of its possibly in food-borne
illness. It is a subject of a great deal of research. Many studies have
demonstrated toxicity in laboratory animals when MSG was ingested at a
high level.
In a nut shell, without sufficient research, one would never adequately
determine, but one thing is absolutely for certain, one can not predict
the potential effect on one’s psychology when any chemically derived
additive is consumed. The only true safeguard for food safety is
adequately funded and established oversight of food production and
distribution.
46. The main idea of the second paragraph is ….
a. MSG as a food additive is either harmful or safe.
