Students are often required to study independently at home. However, independent studying
can be very tedious and hard. Fortunately, there are ways to make independent studying more
fun and easier to do.
First, you should invite one or two of your classmates to study together. Then, the two or
three of you can develop mind maps of the concepts, ideas, or materials that you need to
cover. Make sure that none of you is working on the same concept, ideas, or materials, and
use clear, colourful pictures, drawing, and writing so that your mind maps are interesting to
look at and easy to understand. After you’ve finished with your mind maps, you and your
study mates can take turns to present the mind maps to each other. Finally, during or afyer the
presentation you can ask questions and give feedbacks to each other. That way, independent
studying will never be boring again.
SOAL 6
The President has finally decided to build the Masela gas block onshore. Despite the ensuing
controversy, the decision has afforded certainty. Energy and Mineral Resources Minister had
previously maintained that the giant gas plant should be built offshore in accordance with the
plan of development submitted by its operators, Japan’s Inpex Corporation and Dutch Shell,
in 2010. Coordinating Maritime Affairs Minister proposed that the plant be built onshore.
The block contract was signed in 1998 and will end in 2028 with Inpex holding 65 percent
and Shell 35 percent. In the view of the President, an onshore gas plant will create multiple
and greater economic effects. The President wants the project to give a boost to regional and
national economic developmet. Consequently, inpex has to review its Masela block
development plan and make necessary adjustments. The next consequence is that Masela
production will be delayed. The government should therefore intensify communication with
investors, especially Inpex and Shell, with all its consequences, to make them feel that they
have been provided wit an investment service with a fair degree of certainty.
SOAL 5
According to the text, what is the reason for The President’s decision to build the Masela gas

Is it a beaver without a tail? A hairy pig withouta snout? No, it’s a capybara, the larges rodent
in the world! Standing 2 feet (60 centimetres) tall at the shoulder and built somewhat like a
barrel with legs, the “capy” has long, light brown, shaggy hair, a face that looks like a
beaver’s, no tail, and slightly webbed feet. Originally thought to be a pig of some sort, we
now know that the capybara is a rodent, closely related to cavies and guinea pigs. Africa has
hippos, and the Americas have capybaras. Capys are found east of the Andes on Central and
South American riverbanks, beside ponds, and in marshes or wherever standing water is
available. Due to its dry skin, a capy requires a swimming hole as part of its lifestyle to stay
healty. Water is a source of life for the capybara, as the animal eats water plants and grasses
and uses the water itself to escape from danger, in fact, a capybara can stay underwater for up
to five minutes at a time to hide from predators. It uses those webbed feet (four toes on each
front foot and three on each back one) to swim as well as walk.
The capybara has something in common with the hippo: its eyes, ears, and nostrils are all
found near the top of the animal’s head. A capy can lift just those parts out of the water to
learn everything it needs to know about its surrounding while the rest of its body remains
hidden underwater. Capybaras also wallow in shallow water and mud to keep cool during a
hot day before wandering out in the evening to graze. They tend to eat around dawn and
dusk, but if capybaras feel threatened, they wait until the safe cover of night to eat.
