Soal Bahasa Inggris (Text 1)

In early societies money was unknown and man relied on a simple system of exchange. Perhaps a good hunter had more animal skins than he could use. His neighbor, a good fisherman might have too many fish, but needed furs to protect his children from the cold. Both soon realized that to solve their problems they could exchange their surplus.
This method of exchanging is called 'barter'. The word comes from the French barater.
Barter was important when the needs were mostly for clothing, food, and shelter. but the system had its problems. For example, a weaver who wanted to change his cloth for a good catch of fish might not be able to find a fisherman who needed cloth.

PAKB (Penerimaan Adik Kelas Baru)

Gak terasa udah setahun PIXEL barengan. Waktunya beradik, HORE!



"Woeeee, REK! Udah ada pengumumannya adek kelas aksel, di BK, Rek, di BK!!!!", teriak salah satu teman kita. Jelas aja, yang di dalem kelas langsung grudukan ke ruang BK.

Langkah demi langkah kita korbankan demi melihat wajah-wajah adik baru kita, terharu rasanya mau ketemuan sama generasi penerus kita.



Sampailah kita di BK.

Wajah kami tersenyum, namun..

HENING.



Ke-cegek-an kami pun mulai merasuk dalam darah. Kami hanya bisa menelan ludah. Terharu, bener-bener TERHARU.

Kami menatap nama mereka satu-satu. Ya, hanya NAMA. Nama adik baru kita yang terpampang di BK.

Saat itu, yang ada di pikiran kita, cuma "Yah, mungkin belum waktunya ketemu. Sudah, sudah".



Kami balik ke kelas.



Wajah sedih kami berubah seketika pada tanggal 7 Agustus 2010.

Di bekas kelas aksel dulu, di lantai atas....
Beberapa dari kami -banyak sih- pada penasaran sama adik-adik kelas yang baru.
Mereka mungkin lagi diberi pengarahan gitu, soalnya setahun yang lalu kita juga ngerasain hal yang sama.
Kebanyakan sih cowok. Ya, begitulah kira-kira suasana di atas.

Di kelas aksel bawah, kelas baru kita...
"Haduh, takut aku, jamnya Pak DMJ, bahaya bahaya!!!", kata salah satu teman.
Beberapa yang lain mengangguk setuju.
Baru aja mau SMS, udah keliatan deh Pak DMJ dari jendela. Beliau melongok ke pintu, "Mana lainnya?". Langsung saja Dewanti, teman kita yang lucu, kabur ke atas buat manggil temen-temen yang lain. Dan gak lama, mereka pun balik ke kelas, dengan gerudukan tentu aja.

KESIMPULAN :
Adik-adik baru kita kebanyakan kaum Adam.
Emang baru generasi kita yang kebanyakan cewek, pantesan rame. HAHAHA.
Bagus, berarti gak salah kalo kita menyebut aksel generasi kita paling feminin.

Sekian dulu ya tentang PAKB-nya.
Semoga menikmati.
