My hotel is located in the Putri Hill area. There are other hotels in the area which are all beautiful. My hotel has fifty rooms. Ten rooms are luxurious. The rooms are airconditioned and there is a colour TV in each room. The other forty are business rooms. It means the rooms are simple, with fans and black-and-white TVs. In the luxurious rooms there are always double beds but, in the simple rooms only some have double beds. Our guests come and check in or check out at the receptionist's desk. These people also help the guests with their needs. They can order food and the receptionists ask our restaurant to serve them. Guests can have breakfast, lunch or dinner in the room or in the restaurant. Room service is ready with orders. The receptionist can also help guests with their laundry. The laundry woman will wash and iron the clothes. The room-keepers clean all the rooms every day. Look! Some guests are coming. They will have a seminar tomorrow. It is in the convention hall. I'll ask them to sit at the lounge.
6. What are the facilities of the simple rooms in the writer's hotel?
- Air-conditions and colour TVs
- Fans and black-and-white TVs
- There are always double beds
- There is a colour TV in each room
Jawaban & Analisis
Kunci: B
Inti ide: “The other forty are business rooms… simple, with fans and black-and-white TVs.” Jadi fasilitas kamar sederhana = kipas + TV hitam-putih.
- A salah: “airconditioned” dan “colour TV” disebut untuk kamar (umumnya/luxurious), tetapi kamar sederhana justru disebut “fans and black-and-white TVs”.
- B benar: persis sama dengan kalimat tentang “business rooms… simple, with fans and black-and-white TVs”.
- C salah: “always double beds” berlaku untuk luxurious rooms; simple rooms hanya “some have double beds”.
- D salah: “colour TV in each room” tidak sesuai dengan penjelasan kamar sederhana (black-and-white TVs).
7. “I'll ask them to sit at the lounge.” The lounge means the room where the guests …
- watch TV
- sit and relax
- have a seminar
- have their meals
Jawaban & Analisis
Kunci: B
Inti ide: Lounge adalah ruang tunggu/ruang santai. Di teks, tamu “are coming” dan penulis akan meminta mereka “sit at the lounge” (menunggu/sejenak bersantai), sementara seminar besok “in the convention hall”.
- A salah: teks tidak mendefinisikan lounge sebagai ruang menonton TV.
- B benar: makna lounge paling tepat = tempat duduk santai/menunggu.
- C salah: seminar jelas di “convention hall”, bukan di lounge.
- D salah: makan bisa “in the room or in the restaurant”, tidak disebut lounge untuk makan.
8. … can order food and the receptionists ask the restaurant in the hotel to serve them.
- The guests
- The bellboys
- The receptionists
- The laundry women
Jawaban & Analisis
Kunci: A
Inti ide: Kalimat di bacaan: “They can order food and the receptionists ask our restaurant to serve them.” Kata “they” merujuk pada “Our guests”.
- A benar: “guests” yang memiliki kebutuhan dan dapat memesan makanan.
- B salah: bellboys tugasnya “help guests with their bags”, bukan pemesan makanan dalam kalimat itu.
- C salah: receptionists “ask our restaurant to serve them”, bukan pihak yang “order food” untuk diri mereka.
- D salah: laundry women hanya terkait mencuci dan menyetrika.

Since 1978 the Government of the Republic of Indonesia has been working to conserve endangered and other species of wildlife in captivity. It works together with international agencies, government organizations, and other institutions. The breeding of wildlife is to maintain their existence and to keep them from extinction.
The breeding of Sumatran rhinos is at Torgamba area, and the Komodo dragon is successfully bred in Surabaya Zoo. Since 1979 the zoo has produced at least 40 animals. The zoo has also been successful in breeding the Bawean deer. Some of the zoo-bred animals have been distributed to other zoos and released to their wild habitats.
Two species of non-protected marine turtle are hawksbill and green turtle. This is done to solve and to control the problem of their eggs consumed by local people. The hatcheries are developed in Bali and in West Java.

Jawaban & Analisis
Kunci: D
Inti ide: Paragraf terakhir membahas penetasan/“hatcheries” untuk penyu (hawksbill dan green turtle) agar telur tidak dimakan dan populasi terjaga.

- Domestic animals
- Organisme found in the sea

Jawaban & Analisis
Kunci: D
Inti ide: Kalimat pertama bacaan 2: “to conserve endangered and other species of wildlife”. Itu persis opsi D.
