Beauty and the Beast

       Once upon a time, there was a girl named Beauty. She lived with her father and her sister. Beauty was a very beautiful girl. She also hard-working. Everyday, she always help her father to do his job on the farm.

       One day, her father set out for the city. He saw an old castle and went in. No one was there, but there were so many foods on the table. He didn't pick it up. Then, he decided to walk around the castle. He saw a big beautiful garden there. So many flowers grew there, such as rose, jasmine, orchid, etc. Beauty's father pick one rose to give for Beauty. Suddenly, appears an angry Beast. He wanted to kill Beauty's father unless Beauty brought to him.

       Beauty's father told her daughters what had happened. That time, Beauty's sister ordered to see the Beast.

       Beauty went to see the Beast. After arrived there, the Beast told Beauty that she had to stay there. She felt scared, lonely and sad. She tried to run away but stopped by the Beast. The Beast treated her well. Soon, Beauty began to like the Beast.

Practice Test Part II

Wherever You Go

Bryan Adams

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' CrAzY

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' cRaZy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

Di Sini Aku Menangis

Teuku Umar

Karya : Nita Widiati Efsa

Air mata duka ini, pahlawanku

Mengalir deras dari hulu perasaan suciku

Laksana bah peluluhlantak kotamu

Menggelora, meluap dalam gairah maha dahsyat

Mengalir deras menuju pusaran muara tak tentu di mana

Seperti permainan gasing berputar-putar hingga mual

Gairah siapakah itu?

Begitu kuat, mencengkram, mengetat, menghabisi?

Tiada tersisa, tiada kuasa

Gairah siapakah itu?

Begitu gagah membumiratakan kotamu, pahlawanku?

Tiada terkira, tiada mengira

Air mata duka ini berwujud darah

Berwujud bangkai, berwujud nestapa

Geloranya menggeliatkan naluriku menuju kotamu

Menggeliatkan imanku untuk tafakur

Dari sujud satu ke sujud lainnya, ruku satu ke ruku lainnya

Tiada henti, tiada henti menggapai sajadah hingga ke ujung 

Mautku!

Di sini aku menangis, pahlawanku

Bukan sebagai penyesalan atau keluhan

Tapi keinginan ikhlas menerima bentuk kekalahan; ketidakkuasaan

; kelemahan---betapa kecil dan tak berartinya kita dibanding riak

yang mungkin menyuguhkan gelombang dahsyat

Di sini aku menangis

Karena gairah itu ada, menampak

Kepada pemilik gairah mahadahsyat itu aku tersedu

Betapa nistanya kita dibanding tetesan air yang menggunung

Betapa kotornya kita dibanding lelehan lumpur yang membuncah

Di sini aku menangis, pada gairah kekalMu!
