. "People Killed and Injured in Blast at Nightclub"
03 June 2012
Three people have been killed and eight others injured in a hand grenade blast at a packed
village nightclub.
The explosion in Idvor, north of Belgrade, occurred at 2:30 a.m. Sunday (0030 GMT Sunday;
8:30 p.m. EDT Saturday) when a man activated the grenade at the entrance to the club.
About 150 customers were inside at the time.
Such incidents aren't unusual in Serbia since the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s when
many hand grenades and firearms were taken home from warfronts.
Serbia's state TV says the man was angry because he and three of his friends were refused
entry by the club's security. He and one of his friends were killed in the blast.

6. Descriptive text
MY HOUSE
I live in a small house. It has five rooms: there are two bedrooms, a living room, a
bathroom, and a kitchen. Indeed it is a small house; but I like living in here for wasting
my spare time.
When the door is open, I can see the living room. It is so small with only three chairs
and a table, nothing else. I prefer reading a novel in this room.

3. My bedroom is in the left side of the living room. In this room there is a night table next
to the bed, a TV, a radio, and a computer. When being bored of reading, I usually play
online games, chat with my friends via Facebook and so on.
Next to my bedroom is my mother's. I do not know what is inside because I never come
in to see it. In the right side of the living room there is the kitchen. In the kitchen I have
everything I need when I get hungry. It is very pleasure when my mother cooks, the
smell fills my whole house.
I know it is a very small house; but it is the best place I have ever seen.

10 . contoh letter to the editor
Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to “(article title)”, published on (date). The current disaster in the
Gulf demonstrates horribly well that offshore oil drilling is a dirty and disastrous endeavor.
Over the last several weeks we have seen the devastation that oil spills can create. Thousands
of fishermen are temporarily or permanently out of work, tourism is seriously threatened, and
marine wildlife is gravely imperiled.
This is beach season, but too many of America’s beaches will be closed this summer. We
must prevent an accident like this from ever happening again. President Obama and
Congress should permanently ban offshore drilling. I appreciate the efforts of groups such as
Oceana to stand up against offshore drilling, and I urge your readers to go to
StopTheDrill.com to get involved.
Sincerely,
( fafal )
