V. Materi Pembelajaran

Discussion text is a text that gives the for and against, the positive and negative, or the good points and the bad points towards a topic discussed. The purpose of a discussion text is to present to the audience different opinions on a topic and, at the end, your opinion. It can be understood that discussion text is a type of text that presents both side of the case including the positive or negative statement. In addition, the generic structures of discussion text are:  Introduction  Argument For  Argument Against  ConclusionRecommendation Read the following text and answer the questions below. Text 1. Having an electric fan in the attic can help with energy savings throughout the home because the attic temperatures affect the entire house. Electric fans come with many advantages as well as disadvantages that should be considered prior to installation. Electric fans help us feel cool. Electric fans are very cheap to operate. They require very few watts of energy and therefore are cost-effective —even in summer months. Using an electric attic fan can prevent the use of an air conditioner within a house —assuming that the outside temperature is below 82 degrees. Electric fans work to draw heat out of houses and therefore can substitute for the air conditioner. On the other hand, using fan for too long can cause the immunity of our body to drop. Some can easily catch cold, get a fever, contact allergic rhinitis, and allergic asthma. When using an electric fan, don’t get too close to the fan. In worse case, it may result in headache, cold feeling, or even lead to other diseases. In summer time we must need electric fan. As a result, we should use middle or low speed as much as possible. We can also put the fan at places near a door or a window when possible. This is good for air circulation by blowing cool outdoor air to indoor.

But will solar energy ever be a major source of energy for society? Solar energy is cheaper than other fossil fuels because we can get an abundant source from the sun. In sunny desert areas, 50 of the sun’s radiation that reaches the ground could be used to produce electricity for businesses and industry and to provide heat, light, and hot water for homes. Experimental solar ponds can also produce hot water to drive generators. Unfortunately, we can’t yet power our homes entirely on sunlight. Solar energy can only be used effectively in bright light. Its greatest potential therefore is in hot countries that have clear skies for most of the year. But, unfortunately most houses are not in the sunniest parts of the world. Moreover in order to harness solar power solar cells are needed to convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar cells are very cheap to run, but relatively expensive to buy and many people can’t afford them. Needless to say, solar energy is a useful and non-pollution source of energy. Unfortunately, solar cells, the main device to harness the sun’s energy are still expensive. 1. What is the topic of the text above? a. Solar energy is a major source of energy. b. Solar cars, solar heating, and solar batteries. c. The controversy of harnessing solar energy. d. Solar energy is cheaper than other fossil fuels. 2. Why is solar energy cheaper than other alternatives energies? a. Because it can produce hot water. b. Because it can be used effectively in bright light. c. Because it is an abundant source from fossil fuel. d. Because its source is from the sun. 3. Which of the following is not stated as the arguments for? a. Solar energy is cheaper than other fossil fuels. b. Solar energy can be used effectively in bright light. c. Solar energy can be used to produce electricity. d. Solar energy provides heat, light, and hot water for homes. 4. Unfortunately, we can’t yet power our homes entirely on sunlight. This argument is included into schematic structure of? a. Arguments for. b. General statement. c. Arguments against. d. Concluding. 5. What is the main problem in harnessing solar energy? a. Solar cells are very cheap b. Solar cells are hard to find. c. Many people can afford solar cells. d. Solar cells are still expensive. 6. According to the text, which the statement is NOT discussed in the story? a. Solar energy source is comes from the sun. b. Solar energy can be used effectively in the urban area. c. Solar cells are the main device to harness the sun’s energy. d. Solar energy could be used to produce electricity for business. 7. We can’t yet power our homes entirely on sunlight. The word entirely in the sentences above has a closest meaning with? a. Partly. b. Completely. c. Highly. d. Exclusively. Text 2 Question 9 – 16 are based on this text. Insecticide is a substance that kills insects. Insecticides are sometimes called pesticides. Farmer and gardeners usually use insecticides to protect plants and animals. Apple trees must be sprayed, or many of the apples will become “wormy” with moth larvae young. Many livestock owners spray their livestock or dip them in an insecticide solution to protect them from flies, lice, mites, and ticks. These pests spread such diseases as cattle fever and sheep scab. Diseases such as malaria and typhus can be controlled by using insecticides to treat the breeding places of the insects that spread the diseases. Agricultural pesticides prevent a monetary loss of about 9 billion each year in the U.S. for every 1 invested in pesticides, the American. Farmer gets about 4 in return. These benefits, however, must be weighed against the costs to society of using pesticides, as seen in the banning of ethylene dibromide in the early 1980s. These costs include human poisonings, fish deaths, honey be poisonings, and the contaminations of livestock products. The environmental and social costs of pesticide use in the U.S. have been estimated to be at least 1 billion each year. Thus, although pesticides are valuable for agriculture, they also can cause serious harm. 8. What is insecticide? a. A substance that kills weeds. b. A substance used to kill insects. c. A substance used to eradicate malaria and typhus. d. A substance used to fertilize land. 9. Apple trees must be sprayed, or many of the apples will become “wormy” with the moth larvae. The word wormy means? a. Be like worms b. Eaten by worms c. Killed by worms d. Full by worms 10. These benefits, however, must be weighed against the costs to society of using pesticides. This argument is included into schematic structure of? a. General statement. b. Arguments for. c. Arguments against. d. Concluding. 11. Agricultural pesticides prevent a monetary loss of about 9 billion each year. The word prevent has the same meaning with? a. Avert. b. Surface. c. Gained. d. Predict. 12. What is the conclusion of the text? a. Pesticides are useful. b. Pesticides are danger c. Pesticides are harmful d. Pesticides are valuable, but they can cause serious harm. Text 3 Question 16 - 25 are based on this text When fossil fuels, or other fuels, such as wood or peat, which contain carbon are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. Vehicles also give out, and so add, carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The earth’s atmosphere allows most of the Sun’s rays to pass through it to heat the Earth’s surface. The Earth reflects much of the heat energy back into the atmosphere, but much of this reflected radiation cannot escape because gases such as carbon dioxide absorb it. They grow warm and send heat radiation back to Earth. This is the greenhouse effect. Many scientists think that the greenhouse effect may change the climate, over the next 100 years or so. One consequence of soalled “global warming” resulting from the greenhouse effect could be melting of the polar ice – caps. This in turn, could lead to a rise in sea level which could flood large areas of highly populated coastal land. If carbon dioxide proves to be as harmful as thought, in order to reduce carbon dioxide levels we need to reduce the amount of carbon-rich fuels burned. 13. What is the major issue discussed in the text above? a. The causes of carbon dioxide. b. The earth’s atmosphere. c. Global warming. d. Greenhouse effect. 14. What is omitted out when fuels which contain carbon are burned? a. Carbon dioxide. b. Wood. c. Peat. d. Radiation. 15. In order to reduce carbon dioxide levels we need to reduce the amount of carbon-rich fuels burned. The following statement is included in schematic structure of? a. General statement. b. Argument against. c. Argument for. d. Concluding. 16. What effect does carbon dioxide have on the atmosphere? a. It makes the atmosphere darker to long-wave radiation. b. It makes the atmosphere allow most of the Sun’s rays to pass through. c. It makes the atmosphere allow most of the Sun’s rays to pass through it to heat the earth’s surface. d. It makes the atmosphere become warmer. 17. What will happen if the sea level rises? a. The polar ice will melt and make the sea get cooler. b. Some large areas of coastal land will be inundated. c. Some large areas of coastal land will be dried up. d. The surface of the earth will be flooded with water. 18. If carbon dioxide proves to be as harmful as thought. The word proves in the sentence above has closest meaning with? a. Open. b. Show. c. Stated. d. Change. 19. What causes the earth to become warmer? a. The Sun’s rays reflected by the Earth into the atmosphere. b. The heat radiation sent back to earth by gases that grow warm. c. Reflected radiation that escapes into the atmosphere. d. The burning of wood or peat. 20. According to the text, which the statement is NOT discussed in the story? a. The greenhouse effect may change the climate. b. Greenhouse effect could be melting of the polar ice – caps. c. Carbon dioxide allows most of the Sun’s rays to pass through it. d. Much of the heat energy that back into the atmosphere is reflected by the Earth. Post-Test 1 Name : Class : Reading section Answer the question by choosing A, B, C, D, or E for the correct answer. The following text is for questions 1 to 3. Animal testing is a deeply divided subject with a great deal of passion, emotion and ideas on both sides regarding the ethic of the practice. Some individuals support animal testing and some other oppose its use. The scientific community is strongly in favour in animal testing. The medical breakthroughs that have occured as a result of animal testing are considered reason enough to continue the practice, with the aim of reducing human suffering and saving human lives. Animal testing aids researchers in finding drugs and tratments to improve health and medicine. Many medical treatments have been made possible by animal testing, including cancer and HIV drugs, insulin, antibiotics, vaccines and many more. Animal testing also helps to ensure the safety of drugs and many other substances human use or are exposed to regularly. Scientists typically use animals for testing purpose because they are considered similar to humans. The contra on the issue of animal testing is that countless animals are experimented on and then killed after their use. Others are injured and will still live the rest of their lives in captivity. Many of these animals received tests for substances that will never actually be used for public consumption and use. Animal testing generally costs an enormous amount of money as the animals must be fed, housed, cared for and treated with drugs or experimental substances. The price of the animal themselves must also be factored into equation. As a result of the controversy, regulations and laws should be enforced. At the very least, animal suffering should be minimized and that animals should be respected during their care. If animal testing is to continue, animals must be abused. 1. Which of the following is the reason why scientists use animal for testing? A. Animals are the same as humans. B. Animals can reduce human suffering. C. Cancer and HIV can be found on animals. D. Animals and humans are regarded be alike. E. Medical treatments can be given to animals. 2. The main idea of paragraph 3 is .... A. the practice of animal testing is intolerable. B. animals need to be fed, housed and cared for. C. drugs and experimental substances are useless. D. animal testing costs enormous amount of money. E. animal testing causes many animals live in captivity. 3. From the text above, we can conclude that .... A. medical experiments should be limited. B. pet lovers are in favour in animal testing. C. animal testing is against the laws and regulations. D. vaccines used today have been tested on animals. E. patients never get benefit from the practices of animal testing. 4. “Regulations and laws should be enforced” In paragraph four this sentence is included into schematic structure of… A. Orientation. C. Argument against. E. Suggestion. B. Argument For. D. Conclusion. The following text is for questions 5 to 8. Living in a big city has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it is often easier to find work, and there is usually a choice of public transport, so you don’t need to own a car. Also, there are a lot of interesting to do and places to see. For example, you can eat in good restaurants, visit the museums, and go to the theater and to concerts. What is more, when you want to relax, you can usually find a park where you can feed the ducks or just sit on a park bench and read a book. All in all, city life is full of bustle and variety and you need never feel bored. However, for every plus there is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but unless it is very well paid, you will not be able to afford many of the things that there are to do, because living in a big city is often very expensive. It is particularly difficult to find good, cheap accommodation. What is more, public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty, particularly in the rush hour, and even the parks can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that every city dweller is looking for some open space and green grass. Last of all, despite all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very lonely in a city. In conclusion, I think that city life can be particularly appealing to young people, who like the excitement of the city and don’t mind the noise and pollution. However, many people, when they get older, and particularly when they have young children, often prefer the peace and fresh air of the countryside. 5. What is the suitable title of the text above? a. Living in a big city. b. Advantage of living in a big city. c. Disadvantage of living in a big city. d. The positive effect of living in a big city. e. The danger of living in a big city. 6. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? a. a choice of public transport. b. living without having a car. c. a lot of interesting things to do. d. a side effect of living in a big city. e. advantages of living in a big city. 7. What is the advantage of living in a big city? a. It is often easy to find work. b. It is not expensive to fulfill daily needs. c. There are not any interesting things to do. d. It is not difficult to find good accommodation. e. There are not noise and pollution affecting people’s life. 8. “In conclusion, I think that city life can be particularly appealing to young people, who like the excitement of the city and don’t mind the noise and pollution.” Paragraph 6 The underlined word means … a. eye catching. c. beautiful. e. lunatic. b. attractive. d. wonderful. The following text is for questions 9 to 11. Computers are undoubtedly, used by almost all people in the world. Computers provide people with quicker, practical and useful works. People admit the superiority of computers in their work. They can make use of the used product of technology which brings many benefits for society, from children to adult. However, computers certainly do not promote physical activity. There are some students who are caught in the mystique of this machine. They forgot about lunch, forget to rest and even want to skip from after shool-activities. Even, those who hold strong oppositions about this machine, they say that this machine fail to allow its users some of emotions that are desirable in human beings. In fact some preliminary research has slown that prolong exposure to computerized testing situations has resulted students in being surly and often abusive to each other. So, whatever opinion a person holds, try to bear in the mind that computers not only bring some benefits but also cause some problems. 9. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the text? A. Computers certainly do not promote physical activity. B. Computers only bring some benefits. C. People admit the superiority of computers in their work. D.

The following text is for the number 16 to 20 The government has just published a report which suggests that television is partly responsible for the serious increase in crime over the last ten years. The exposure of violence or pornography harmfully effects on children. Many people who are alive today know what it is like to live in a world without television. Television as we know is only about forty years old. Yet it is so much a part of our lives that it seems as if it had always existed. Some people think that the years before the invention of television were a better time. They claim that families talked more and did more things together. More books were read. People used their imaginations more fully. People got more outdoor exercises. But others disagree. They claim that television is a powerful educational tool. It informs us of what is going on in the world, from a famine in Africa to a local politics and fashion. It helps us understand how people live, work, and struggle. In 1961, Newton Minow, a government official, called prime- time schedules “ a vast wasteland.” Television is credited with being a great teacher, but it is also blamed for the poor reading and writing skills of our population. Television gets praised for helping us understand the people of the world. But it has been accused of helping to destroy family life. Television keeps us informed about the political issues of the day. Experts will probably continue to argue about television’s value. But everyone agrees that it is one of the most significant inventions of the twentieth century. 16. The writer wants to tell ….. a. the development of television b. the advantages of television program c. how te levision destroys people’s life d. how televis ion improves people’s knowledge e. the influence of television on people’s daily life. 17.
