Text 1
Nowadays, our lives are practically dependent on the Information Communications Technology
(ICT). Data from the Communications and Information Ministry shows that Internet users in Indonesia
increased from 74 million people in 2013 to 111 million in 2014. In Indonesia, Internet burst has been
mainly used for accessing social media. Indonesia ranked third among countries with the highest number
of Facebook users, below the U.S and India.
The popularity of the Internet and social media unfortunately has not extended to the education
sector. ICT has not become a backbone of improving the country’s competitiveness through education.
The Ministry of Education and Culture recorded that only about 50 percent of the 234,919 primary and
secondary schools in Indonesia had access to the Internet in mid 2014.
Advancement of ICT should ideally be able to revolutionize education. Technology brings new
sources of learning beyond teachers. Moreover, the divide between students and subjects is further
narrowed by the availability of educational content through ICT. A revolution in education is also possible
through ICT as students can learn at the appropriate speed according to their capacity. Interactive digital
content allows students to pick particular topics that they want to explore more. In a nutshell, there is a
democratization of the learning process.
Unfortunately, it is still a long road to revolutionize education in Indonesia through ICT. In addition
to building technology infrastructure across the country’s island, ICT literacy for teachers, parents and
students is also of importance. Without it, we are constrained from reaping the full benefits of ICT in
education.

Questions 4—7 are based on the following passage.

Text 2
The integration of technology and media can enhance early childhood practice. Successful
integration of technology, and media into early childhood programs involves the use of resources such as
computers and the Internet in daily classroom practices. True integration occurs when the use of
technology and media becomes routine and transparent—when the focus of a child or educator is on the
activity or exploration itself and not on the technology or media being used. Technology integration has
been successful when the use of technology and media supports the goals of educators and programs for
children provides children with digital tools for learning and communicating and helps improve child
outcomes.
As the life of children, parents, families, and educators are infused with technology and media, early
childhood classrooms can benefit from the possibilities of extending children’s learning through judicious
use of these tools. As part of the overall classroom plan, technology and interactive media should be used
in ways that support existing classroom developmental and educational goals rather than in ways that
distort or replace them. For example, drawing on a touch screen can add to children’s graphic
representational experiences; manipulating colorful acetate shapes on a light table allows children to
explore color and shape.
By focusing on technology and interactive media as tools—not as ends in and of themselves—
teachers can avoid the passive and potentially harmful use of non-interactive, linear screen media that is
inappropriate in early childhood settings. Intentionality is a key to developmentally appropriate use.
Exciting new resources in today’s technology-rich world represent the next frontier in digital
learning for our youngest citizens, leaving it to talented educators and caring adults to determine how best
to leverage each new technology as an opportunity for children’s learning in ways that are
developmentally appropriate.

Text 3
Most people would agree with the definition of good health as being a state where you are free from
sickness. Despite this, there are many different opinions about how a person can actually have good
health. People used to only think of their health when they were sick. But these days more and more
people are taking measures to make sure that they do not get sick in the first place. In this article I will
describe a few of the most common things that you can do to stay healthy.
One of the best things you can do for your body is exercise. But how much is enough? Not
everyone agrees on exactly how much people should exercise each day. Some people think that doing
simple things like cleaning the house are helpful. Other people do heavy exercise everyday such as
running or swimming. One thing experts do agree on is that any kind of exercise is good for you.
Along with exercise, having a healthy diet can help promote good health. Foods like vegetables and
fruits should be eaten several times each day. It is also important to eat foods high in fiber such as beans,
grains, fruit and vegetables. Fiber helps your body to digest the food you eat. It also helps your body in
other ways such as decreasing the chance of getting some cancers, heart disease and diabetes. Avoiding
foods with a lot of sugar, salt and fat is a good idea.
In today’s modem world, we all have some level of stress in our lives. Different things cause stress
for different people. Money problems, work and relationships with other people can all cause stress.
Instead of trying to remove stress, people need to be aware of what causes them and find ways to reduce
the impact that stress has on their lives. There are several ways to fight against stress in your life. Exercise
and sports are a great way to reduce stress. Other activities like Tai Chi, yoga or taking a walk also help
reduce stress. Changing the way you think can also reduce stress. Try living for now, and do not worry
about the future.
