Soal No. 1-4

The following text is for questions 1 and 4.

I usually woke up at 8 a.m. and went to the press center to check the daily schedule of
briefings and press conferences, usually held by the United Nations officials or disaster mitigation
team chief, Alwi Shihab.
It was challenging to visit different refugee camps to find soft stories, human interest
stories. Then, I went back to the press center in between to cover the press conferences of the
day.
It was heart breaking when I saw these survivors fight for food and secondhand clothing,
which they said were limited and inadequate. Emerging to a glaring, full noon, it was time to go
back to the press center to write stories and race against time, always fearing that the internet
connection would come crashing down.
And after everything was done, only then I remembered to eat. Most times, I only ate
once a day because you always had to rush and it was difficult to find food. You had to travel
quite far, about a 30-to 45-minute trip by car to find fresh food.
