Analytical
Exposition Text
Contoh 1
In
Australia there are three levels of governments, the federal government, state
governments and local governments. All of these levels of government are
necessary. This is so for number of reasons. First, the federal government is
necessary for the big things. They keep the economy in order and look after
like defense. Similarly,
the state governments look after the middle sized things. For example they look
after law and order, preventing things like vandalism in school. Finally, local
government look after the small thins. They look after things like collecting
rubbish, otherwise everyone would have disease. Thus for the reason above, we
can conclude that the three levels of the government are necessary.

Integrated Pest Management
There is no
best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which are commonly used
may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is
the most effective way to control pests.
Firstly,
the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and
in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm
product.
Secondly,
pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and
stronger ones have to be developed.
Lastly,
some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees.
This affects the ecology and environment as well.
So,
understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides
should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological
balance and environment.
Therefore,
integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in
agriculture and livestock.

Cars Should Be Banned In The City

the world. Cars emit a deadly gas causes illnesses such as bronchitis, lung
cancer, and trigger of asthma. Some of these illness are so bad that people can

cars commonly hit pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today
are our roads biggest killers.

The Sense of Taste
The sense of taste is one of a person's five senses. We
taste with the help of taste-buds in the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and
bitter. All other tastes are just mixtures of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand
taste-buds (or cells). These are connected to the brain by special nerves which
send the so-called 'tastes messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind,
the taste-buds will pick up the taste. The nerves then send a message to the
brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All this happens in just a few
seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is
sensitive to only a particular taste. These four groups are located in
different parts of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round
the tip of the tongue and along its sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at
the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter taste are found at the
innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good
smell of food increases its taste. Similarly, attractive colours can make food
appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not smell good or is
dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds
insensitive. Food that is too hot or too cold, when placed in the mouth, will
have no tastes at all.
1. We can taste any kind of
food because of ........
A. the good smell of food

All planes need air to presure under
their wings to stay up in the air. As they move forward. The higher air
pressure underneath their wings pushes them upward and gives them lift.
The smooth, streamlined shape of the plane allows the air to flows easily over its surface. This helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane and allows it to move rapidly through the air.
Planes move forward using engines. This movement is called thrust. Moving forward keeps a stream of moving air passing over the wings. If the engines fail, theplanes will begin to descend very quickly.
The air above the wing moves faster, so it is at a lower pressure than the air under the wing.
The air under the wing moves more slowly and is slightly squashed, so it is at a higher pressure than the air above the wing.

A
natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an
earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money.
The casualties are injured or died. Some people are homeless and need medical
care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water from to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.
