This document contains 4 analytical exposition texts in English with different topics: reading habits in Indonesia, banning cars in cities, spending money searching for extraterrestrials, and the three levels of government in Australia. The first text discusses that reading habits are low in Indonesia due to high book prices, lack of good books, and other preferred activities of young people. The second argues that cars should be banned in cities because they cause pollution, deaths from accidents, and noise. The third makes the case for spending money searching for extraterrestrials in order to prepare for contact, help humanity survive, and improve human behavior. The fourth outlines that the three levels of government in Australia are all necessary - federal for large issues,

ANALITYCAL EXPOSITION
The reading habit among Indonesian is still low. There are many reasons for this
fact. However, it is mainly caused by the high prices of good books, a small number of
goods books available and other activities young people prefer to do.
Firstly, books are relatively expensive in Indonesia. Publisher claim that the
prices of raw materials and the production cost of books are high and keep increasing.
Therefore, books are sold expensively and consequently, most students can’t afford them.
Secondly, if we browse the bookshelves, it is not easy to find real high quality
books. Some books with good topics may have plain and boring designs, while there also
books that look good but the content are almost worth-reading.
Thirdly, and quite unfortunately, nowadays there are many kinds of activities
other than reading, and the young people prefer doing them. These include watching
young soap opera on TV, listening to music and songs with
meaningless lyrics or just hanging out at shopping malls. Such activities clearly do not
offer as much learning as the book reading habit does. And clearly, they forget the saying
“a book as the window of the world”.
In conclusion is clear that reading habit among Indonesian students is still low for
the reasons above.

2. ANALITYCAL EXPOSITION
CARS SHOULD BE BANNED IN THE CITY
Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution and cause
a lot of road death.
Firstly, cars, as we all know, contribute to most of the pollution in the world. Cars
emit a deadly gas that cause illness such as bronchitis, lung cancer and triggers off
asthma. Some of the illness are so bad that people can die from them.
Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars
commonly hit them in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads
biggest killers.
Thirdly, cars are very noisy. If you live in the city, you may find it hard to sleep at
night, or concentrate on your homework, and especially talk to someone.
In conclusion, cars should be banned from the city because of the reasons listed.

3. ANALITYCAL EXPOSITION
I definitely believe that we should be spending millions looking for
extraterrestrials. I know some people think it's a waste of money because there are many
things on our own planet we could spend the money on, but I do not think that they
should stop our quest for knowledge. Here are my arguments.
Firstly, if there is another kind of life from out there, we need to know about it.
Imagine what would happen if Alliens just suddenly arrive on earth, and we were not
prepared for them. It would be a disaster, even if they didn't mean to hurt us. The film
E.T : The extra terrestrials, shows how things could go round. The only way to be
prepared for contact with alliens is to find them first.
Secondly, if we find life on another planet it might help the human species
survive. Foe example, if Earth becomes impossible to live on because of global warming,
the hole in the ozone layer or some other environmental problem, we might be able to go
to that planet to live.
Thirdly, finding life on another planet might make humans behave better. it might
make us be nicer to each other because we would see we were all part of the one species.
We would also have to stop believing that the universe was ours, and that might make us
take better care of our own planet.
To sum up, I think we should spend as much money as we can on searching for
extraterrestrials for the good of all humans. Besides, I think there must be something out
there and I would really like to know what it is and where it is. Wouldn't you ?

4. ANALYTICAL EXPOSITION
POSITION
In Australia there are three levels of government, the federal government,
state governments and local governments. All of these levels of government are
necessary. This is so for a number of reasons.
First, the federal government is necessary for the big things. They keep the
economy in order and look after things like defence.
Similarly, the state governments look after the middle sized things. For example
they look after law and order, preventing things like vandalism in schools.
Finally, local governments look after the small things. They look after things like
collecting rubbish, otherwise everyone would have diseases.
Thus, for the reasons above we can conclude that the three levels of government
are necessary.

7. NARRATIVE (SHORT STORY)
THE BOY WHO CRIED “WOLF”
There was once a shepherd-boy who kept his flock at a little distance from the
village. Once he thought he would play a trick on the villagers and have some fun at their
expense. So he ran toward the village crying out, with all his might,
"Wolf! Wolf! Come and help! The wolves are at my lambs!"
The kind villagers left their work and ran to the field to help him. But when they
got there the boy laughed at them for their pains; there was no wolf there.
Still another day the boy tried the same trick, and the villagers came running to
help and got laughed at again. Then one day a wolf did break into the fold and began
killing the lambs. In great fright, the boy ran for help. "Wolf! Wolf!" he screamed. "There
is a wolf in the flock! Help!"
The villagers heard him, but they thought it was another mean trick; no one paid
the least attention, or went near him. And the shepherd-boy lost all his sheep.

8. NARRARTIVE SHORT STORY
THE HISTORY OF ELECTRONIC
COMMUNICATION
In the past people used different ways to communicate over long distances, such
as smoke signals, drums and flags. Investigations such as the telephone, radio and
television made communication over greater distances possible.
In 1837, Samuel Morse invented a system that transmitted sound pulses through
wire. These sounds were sent and received by an operator who knew the special Morse
Code. This allowed communication over long distances.
On March 1876, Alexander Graham Bell invented the first telephone. A human
voice was sent through a long wire using magnets and an electronic current. He spoke to
his friend and a fellow inventor, Thomas Watson, who was in another room.
During this century many more forms of technology have been invented that
allow people to communicate over long distances and even keep a record of that
communication. Fax machines send printed information anywhere in the world.
In the future, new technology will continue to make long distances electronic
communication even faster and more efficient.

9. NARRATIVE SPOOF
PENGUIN IN THE PARK
Once a man was walking in a park when he came across a penguin.
He took him to a policeman and said, “I have just found this penguin. What
should I do?” The policeman replied, “take him to the zoo”.
The next day the policeman saw the same man in the same park and the man was
still carrying the penguin with him. The policeman was rather surprised and walked up to
the man and asked, “Why are you still carrying that penguin about? Didn’t you take it to
the zoo? I certainly did,’ replied the man.
And it was a great idea because he really enjoyed it, so today I’m taking him to
the moviest!

10. NARRATIVE SPOOF
L AST TRAIN TO CL ARKSVILLE, ESSEX
Train companies were warned as to the problems faced by passengers traveling
home on Thursday and Friday evenings when city workers traditionally have a few beers
in readiness for the weekend. Trains leaving Liverpool St on these nights after 10.30pm
are traditionally referred to as the 'Vomit Comet'.
One passenger said 'it's the same commuters every Friday night, drunken lads
chatting up girls, exchanging mobile numbers whilst the smell of big Mac and fries is
over powering.
In some cases, passengers have even opted to walk from London to Essex, in
some cases, as far away as Southend.
Rail networks have also defended their poor performance figures it was revealed
today. With a number of networks falling below a 70% satisfaction level, bosses have hit
back to defend their poor showing and results.
Len Reed, spokesperson for One Railways said 'his trains were not late but that
passengers were early which simply escalated the problem'.

THE DOG AND THE BUTCHER
A dog walks into a butcher shop with a wallet strapped to his neck, and
approaches the displays. He waits for a man to finish his order, then the butcher leans
over the shelf and asks,
"What'll you have?"
The dog places his paw in front of the ground beef, so the butcher asks how many
pounds? The dog barks twice, so the butcher packages 2 pounds of ground beef.
The man watches as the dog moves in front of the pork chop display, and places
his paw in front of them.
"How many do you want? asks the butcher.
The dog barks four times so the butchers packages 4 chops. The dog walks over to
the cash register to pay, so the butcher removes enough cash from the wallet to pay for
the meat. The dog picks up his packages in his mouth an leaves.
Intrigued the man follows the dog several blocks until he walks up to a house and
scratches on the front door. His owner answers, and lets the dog in.
"That's an amazing dog you have there!" the man from the butcher shop marvels.
"Not really," the owner frowns. "That's the second time this week he's forgotten
his key!"

12. RECOUNTS
EARTHQUAKE
I was driving along the coast road when the car suddenly lurched to one side.
At first I thought a tyre had gone but then I saw telegraph poles collapsing like
matchsticks.
The rocks came tumbling across the road and I had to abandon the car.
When I got back to town, well, as I said, there wasn’t much left.

14. RECOUNT
AN EXCURSION TO THE BOTANICAL GARDEN
On Thursday 24 April we went to the Botanical Garden. We walked down and
boarded the bus.
After we arrived at the garden, we walked down to the Education Centre. The
third grade students went to have a look around. First, we went to the first farm and Mrs.
James read us some information. Then, we looked at all the lovely plants. After that we
went down to a little spot on the Botanical Garden and had a morning tea break.
Next, we did sketching and then we met the fourth grade students at the Education
Centre to have lunch. Soon after that, it was time for us to go and make our terrariums
while the fourth year students went to have a walk.
A lady took us into a special room and introduced herself. Then she explained
what we were going to do. Next, she took us to a pyramid terrarium. It was really
interesting.
After we had finished, we met the fourth grade students outside the gardens. Then
we reboarded the bus and returned to school.

15. REPORT
WHALES
Whales are the largest animals on earth. Bigger than elephants they may grow 95
feet long and weigh 3 tons. A baby blue whale just born can be 23 feet long and weigh 3
tons.
Although whales live in the oceans and swim like fish, they are not fish. They are
mammals, like cows and elephants. Unlike fish they bear young alive, not as eggs. Their
babies live on their mother’s milk. They breathe through their lungs and hold their breath
when they go under water. If they can’t come to the surface to breathe fresh air, they will
down. They are warm blooded. Fish, however, lay eggs, breathe oxygen in the water, and
are cold-blooded.
Whales live in all oceans. In the winter some of them go to warm waters to bread
and in the summer most of them go to cold waters to feed. There are two kinds of whales,
whales with teeth (toothed whales) and whales without teeth (baleen whales). The
toothed whales eat fish and squid which they can catch with their teeth, although they
swallow their food without chewing it. The baleen whales eat plankton (small sea animals
and plants). When they find plankton, they open their mouths and swim into the plankton.
When they close their mouths they squeeze out the water and swallow the plankton.
Whales have few enemies. Only human and the killer whales attack whales. And
whales do not seem to fight among themselves. They usually live from 20 to 30 years.

17. HORTATORY EXPOSITION
COUNTRY CONCERN
In all the discussion over the removal of lead from petrol (and the atmosphere)
there doesn’t seem to have been any mention of the difference between driving in the city
and the country.
While I realise my leaded petrol car is polluting the air wherever I drive, I
feel that when you travel through the country, where you only see another car every five
to ten minutes, the problem is not as severe as when traffic is
concentrated on city roads.
Those who want to penalise older, leaded petrol vehicles and their owners don’t
seem to appreciate that, in the country, there is no public transport to fall back upon and
one’s own vehicle is the only way to get about.
I feel that country people, who often have to travel huge distances to the
nearest town and who already spend a great deal of money on petrol, should be treated
differently to the people who live in the city.
