The Religious Affairs Ministry has urged Indonesian Muslims not to
hold bukber, short for buka puasa bersama (breaking-of-the-fast
gathering) activities during the upcoming Ramadan, as COVID-19 has spread to
every province across the country.
The ministry also urged Muslims to do tarawih (Ramadan
night prayers) and tadarus (Quran recital) at home. Kamaruddin
Amin, the ministry’s director general of Muslim community guidance, said he
hoped people would obey the call.
“Tarawih should be performed at home, while Nuzulul Quran [the
revelation day of the Quran] commemoration will be scrapped during this year’s
Ramadan, as well as tadarus activities at mosques,” he said
during a press briefing on Friday. He added that practicing Ramadan traditions
from home would not reduce the value of worship, as the country was in a state
of emergency. “God will understand,” Kamaruddin went on to say.
Aside from advising people not to participate in bukber, the
ministry also called on people not to hold sahur (predawn
meals) gatherings in the street. It also urged people not to perform itikaf (seclusion
in a mosque). Idul Fitri prayers, which are usually performed in a
congregation, have also be prohibited, with a corresponding fatwa to be issued
by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI). The ministry also advised Muslims to
hold halal bi halal (post-Ramadan gatherings) through video

TEXT D (for number 11-15)
There are three separate sources of hazard in the process of supplying
energy by nuclear power. The radioactive material must travel from its place of
manufacture at the power station. Although the power stations themselves are
solidly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not.
There are normally only two methods of transport available, namely road or
rail. Unfortunately, both of these involve close contact with the general
public, since the routes are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily
populated areas.
Next, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce
wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is
impossible to make these wastes non radioactive, and so they must be stored in
one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have in vented. For example they
may be buried under the ground, or dropped into abandoned mines, or sunk in the
sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could
easily crack the containers open.
Finally, there is the problem of accidental exposure due to a leak or an
explosion at the power station. As with the other two hazards, this is not
every likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear
program. Nevertheless, it can happen.
Separately, these there types of risks are not a great cause for concern.
On the whole though, the probability of disaster is still high.

radioactive wastes.

TEXT
E (for number 16-17)
In today's economy vocational jobs are
becoming more and more important. This is why vocational education programs are
popular. Vocational education training provides career and technical education
to interested students. These students are prepared as trainees for jobs; jobs
that are based upon manual or practical fields or jobs that are related to
specific trades, occupations, and vocations.
Instructors teach
students the knowledge required for their field. Community colleges have long
been offering vocational education. These colleges around the country provide
certificates in various vocational fields. They also offer certain degree
programs that focus on some popular occupations. The vocational field expands
each year to include new fields.
The training for
vocational jobs requires less education than four year degree programs. They
are also much less expensive. Instructors at this level of education use
traditional methods of teaching. They use lesson plans, teacher resources,
worksheets, an other tools in this process. One difference to other education
programs is the on-the-job training component. Many students will have the
opportunity to work in their field while being educated. Some will be accepted
into valuable apprenticeship programs. Some of the jobs in vocational fields
include construction workers, blacksmiths, and steel workers. Today, there are
other great choices of vocational jobs. These include retail, tourism, and
cosmetology. Also, there are some portions of the information technology field
taught. This allows students to decide from a variety of career choices.
The retail field is one
of those growing career opportunities. Workers can start as trainees and then
reach management position. Most retail companies have their own training
programs for specific jobs. These make retail even more welcoming to new
employees. Tourism is also a great field to consider in the vocational field.
This area includes planning trips to being a tour guide.

Explanation
:
The text above also
contains two HOTS questions. The first question asked student to understand and
analyze the text to finding out the topic. The second questions asked students
to analyze the facts then they know what is the right and wrong statement. The
questions are in HOTS brain taxonomy.
TEXT
F(number 18-20)
The applications,
games, and websites that are promoted as 'educational' are not always the best
ones for supporting learning. The fact that they are interactive does not
necessarily mean that they are much better than an old-fashioned workbook with
its right and wrong answers. Children may enjoy these products for a while but
then get a bit bored. Thus, they are not the most appropriate or engaging way
to learn.
Treat so-called 'free'
applications with caution. Some will expose your child to advertisements.
Others are designed to wait until your child is engaged in a game or storyline
and then demand payment before they can go any further. This can lead to
frustration as young children do not understand why they cannot continue.
Sometimes it is better to make a small payment in advance if the application
promises no further purchases. However, some applications are free to download
and completely free of advertisements or in-app purchases.
Choosing an app needs the same kind of thought
and care you would put into buying anything else for your child. Do not rely
only on the star rating. Instead, read the user reviews and check the privacy
policy if you are worried about the personal information that the app might be
collecting. If you want your child to enjoy learning, develop curiosity, and
think about things creatively, provide them with a range of games and apps.
Openended games have become progressively more challenging and encourage
children to explore and have fun. They are, therefore, more likely to establish
a love of learning and to lay the foundation for their future development.
Physical activity,
reading, and other more 'traditional' activities continue to play a very
important part in children's development. But, most parents do rely on screen
devices from time to time to engage their child while they are busy with
something else. This is not a problem in itself, just as long as children's
time is made up of a balanced range of activities.
18. The
author reminds readers to be more careful with commercialism in free
applications in paragraph(s) ...
A. 1
B.
2
C. 3
D. 1 and 4
E. 2
and 3
19. How
does the idea in sentence 6 relate to the other ideas in paragraph 2?
A. Sentence
6 elaborates the other ideas in paragraph 2.
B. Sentence 6 is the result of the other ideas in
paragraph 2.
C. Sentence
6 strongly contradicts the other ideas in paragraph 2.
D.
Sentence
6 is the implementation of the theory discussed in paragraph 2.
E. Sentence
6 provides another type of free applications discussed in paragraph 2.
20. The
author would apparently agree that ...
A.
Open-ended
games can stimulate children's love for learning.
B. Some
games and applications are boring because they are too easy.
C. There
is no convincing prediction for the future of the games and apps.
D. It
is better to pay for games in advance so that children can learn freely
E. Apps
star rating provides users with reviews on the good things of games and app.
