Instruction 2

In the paragraphs below, one word has been replaced by a nonsense word. Try to guess what that nonsense word means by providing the definition, synonym, or description. Read the whole paragraph, guess the meaning, and -on the basis of the text- give your reason how you come to that guess.

No

1

Almost nobody wants any wak close to his/her home. First, they usually smell bad. If the wind blows from their direction, you may get that smell at home. And wak is often surrounded by insects, like flies and mosquitoes, as well as animals such rats and mice. A nearby wak may also mean you will have noisy trucks on your street all day. Finally, the most serious problem with wak is that they may pollute the drinking water because sometimes they contain dangerous chemicals. When it rains, the chemicals enter the water underground and make it unsafe to drink.

Wak is Sewer / Saluran pembuangan (got)

Because we know that in Indonesia sewer/gutter/drain is smelly bad, also the mouse, often the mosquitoes and many flies live in there

2

Thinking about sources of water pollution, people usually ignores wik. However, as the demand grows for fish to eat, the number of wik is increasing. In some parts, they started creating environmental problems. In fact, when fish are in their natural environment, they do not pollute. But in wik, the situation is not natural. There are usually lots of fish in very little water, and the water must be changed very often. Each time it is changed, the dirty water must be thrown away, usually poured directly from the wik into a river or ocean. The chemical balance of the river or coastline is changed by this dirty water, and the animals living there may suffer.

Wik is Aquarium / Akuarium

Because as we can see the water in aquarium should replace by the time, if not like that we can kill a lot fish in there. Also the word of “demand of ….” that makes me sure that the word is Aquarium

3

In some European countries, there is a serious problem on what to do with garbage: no more room for garbage dumps! It is unlikely to burn garbage, because it pollutes the air, so the governments are looking for ways to reduce the amount of garbage. One way to do this is to wuk as much as possible. Not all kinds of garbage can be wukked, of course. The easiest things to wuk are probably glass and paper. Many cities now require people to wuk these materials by separating them from the regular garbage. Then special trucks take them away and bring them to private companies that will buy them and use them again.

Wuk is Recycle / Daur ulang

Because as we can see now a lot of problem is form trash and also know that the trash can we recycle to the benefit thing. The word “The easiest things to ….. are probably glass and paper” that makes me sure that the word is Recycle

One of animal species with an excellent sense of direction is the Monarch butterfly. The Monarch is a beautiful orange-colored butterfly. It is one of the larger kinds of butterflies, but is still only an insect. All Monarchs spend the winter in a certain area of central Mexico. In the early spring, they begin to wek north. The butterflies that leave Mexico will die on the way. However, their children will wek all the way to the northern US or Canada. In the fall, these new butterflies start wekking south. They have never been to Mexico, but they could find the place their parents left. They will even go to live in same trees.

Wek is Fly / Terbang

Because the word “they begin to … north” is clear that the missing word is fly.

Genetic programming is one of scientific theories commonly used to answer the mystery of salmon. These fish are born in woks far from the ocean. When they are big enough, they travel all the way down the wok. They swim out into the deep ocean water, sometimes for thousands of miles. One salmon from Washington State in the US was caught halfway to Japan. But no matter how far away they are, the fish start home in the spring. Somehow they know where home is. Along all the many miles of coast, each salmon finds the mouth of its own wok. Then it swims all the way up to the very same spot where it was born.

Wok is River / Sungai

Because as we know that the orign of salmon is the river. Also “they travel all the way down the … “ I pretty sure that the word is river
