of land and sea, home to 540 types of corals, more than 1,000 types of coral fish and 700 types of
mollusks. This makes it the most diverse living library for world's coral reef and underwater biota.
According to a report developed by The Nature Conservancy and Conservation International, around 75
percent of the world's species live here. When divers first arrive here their excitement is palpable. It's
common to hear people praise God as they take in the remarkable scenery. Others prefer to remain in
silence taking in the overwhelming sight of so many islands with crystal clear water that softly brushes
over the white sandy beaches.
Commonly, divers will join a tour and live in a diving resort during their stay in the Raja Ampat Islands.
To access diving spots, we can easily contact and use the professional diving organizers, who can be
conveniently found in Sorong. You may rent a small boat if you wish to stop and make personal
discoveries along the line of the beaches. You can also trek around the islands to find hidden beauties,

10. ESSAY.
Direction : Read carefully then answer all the questions in write
Questions no 41 to 43 based on following information
41. What will you do then after you read the text?
42. What did Indonesian Marine Affairs and Fisheries Ministers suggest to protect the islands ?
43. Based on the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, what is the definition of island ?
Indonesia has embarked on the task of counting its islands in order to better protect its
territory and marine resources. It hopes to locate and name an additional 1,700 islands in
time for the UN Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names in August.
Indonesia wants to claim sovereignty and fishing rights in the waters surrounding the
islands, many of which its neighbors also claim.
The Indonesian government says illegal fishing in its waters is costing billions of dollars in
lost revenue each year. A fisheries spokeswoman told the BBC: "Sixty per cent of islands
in Indonesia don't have a name or officially have legal status, so they can easily be taken
or claimed by another country."
Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago. At the last UN conference on geographical
names in 2012, Indonesia registered 13,466 islands. A law in 1996 estimated that the
number of islands was 17,508. The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea defines an
island as, "a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is still exposed at
high tide".
A spokesman from Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries explained the
scale of the task the counting team had. He said: "We have to visit every one of these
islands, and then we note the coordinates, the name, the meaning of the name, the
history of the land and describe the landscape and its geographical history…all that in
great detail."

11. Questions no. 44 and 45 based on the following description
44. What does the story tell you about ?
45. What happened to Nick in 1990 ?
Nick Vujivic was born to Dushka and Boris Vujivic in 1982 in Melbourne, Australia.
Although he was an otherwise healthy baby, Nick was born without arms and legs; he had
no legs, but two small feet, one of which had two toes. Nick has two siblings, Michelle and
Aaron. Initially, a Victoria state law prevented Nick from attending a mainstream school
due to his physical disability in spite of a lack of mental impairment. However, Vujivic
became one of the first physically disabled students integrated into a mainstream school
once those laws changed. However, his lack of limbs made him a target for school bullies,
and he fell into a severe depression. At age eight, he contemplated suicide and even tried
to drown himself in his bathtub at age ten; his love for his parents prevented him from
following through. He also stated in his music video "Something More" that God had a
plan for his life and he could not bring himself to drown because of this.
Nick prayed very hard that God would give him arms and legs, and initially told God that,
if his prayer remained unanswered, Nick would not praise him indefinitely. However, a key
turning point in his faith came when his mother showed him a newspaper article about a
man dealing with a severe disability. Vujivic realized he wasn't unique in his struggles and
began to embrace his lack of limbs. After this, Nick realized his accomplishments could
inspire others and became grateful for his life.
Nick gradually figured out how to live a full life without limbs, adapting many of the daily
skills limbed people accomplish without thinking. Nick writes with two toes on his left foot
and a special grip that slid onto his big toe. He knows how to use a computer and can
type up to 45 words per minute using the "heel and toe" method. He has also learned to
throw tennis balls, play drum pedals, get a glass of water, comb his hair, brush his teeth,
answer the phone and shave, in addition to participating in golf, swimming, and even sky-
diving.
During secondary school, he was elected captain of Mac Gregor State in Queensland and
worked with the student council on fundraising events for local charities and disability
campaigns. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group, and
later founded his non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs.
