( New Mexico Version )

Long time ago, there was no (1) day. It was always dark and always (2) summer. This was because the Kachina, a very (3) powerful people had (4) stolen the Sun and the Moon and locked them away in a box. In the (5) light, Coyote and Eagle, two friends(6) wandered the desert.

Coyote and Eagle had always (7)hunted together, but Coyote could not hunt anymore because he could not see at night. Coyote suggested that they go to(8) find the Sun and the Moon and make them light up the world. Eagle was worried. He (9) reminded Coyote that the Sun and the Moon were very strong and it was (10)dangerous to try to trick them.

In the end, Eagle agreed to help Coyote. While the Kachina were sleeping, Coyote and Eagle (11)crept into their village, stole the Sun and the Moon, and headed into the hills.

Coyote told Eagle that he wanted to open the box containing the Sun and the Moon. Eagle said no. They must wait until after their travels and open it with their eyes closed. Coyote (12)grumbled. He couldn’t wait to see what was in the box.

Finally he grew so curious that he threw it open. The light of the Sun was so bright that it (13)blinded Coyote’s eyes. The sun and the Moon (14)laughed and flew far way, up into the sky where they are today.

The legendary outlaw of the 12th century in England, Robin Hood, may have been a mythical folk hero, but it is also possible that he was a real person, perhaps even an Earl of Huntingdon. In the legend Robin is outlawed for opposing the sheriff of Nottingham’s unjust ways. The sheriff is an ally of prince John during his rule over the country while King Richard the Lionheart is away on the Crusades. Robin takes refuge in Sherwood forest and gathers a band of ‘Merrie Men’ about him, including Little John, the archer, Friar Tuck, and Maid Marion, his beloved. He robs the rich to help the poor, is chivalrous, manly and fair and generally embodies the ideals of the English man. (Accept any Possible Answers)

LThe Lamb and the Wolf

Once, a wolf was drinking water at a hilly stream. Suddenly, he saw a lamb drinking water at some distance down the stream. Seeing the tender lamb, the wolf’s mouth began to water. The wolf thought what a delicious meal the lamb would make. “I must catch and kill the lamb for my feast”. The wolf approached the lamb saying, ”How dare you make my water dirty?’ The poor lamb answered, ”No, Sir. How can it be! The stream is flowing down to me from your end”. The wolf got angry and snarling said “You are too arrogant to argue like this”, “Then, why did you rebuke me the last month”. The lamb said, “Excuse me Sir, I was not even born last month” “I’m just ten days old.”. The wolf replied, “Well, then it was your mother who rebuked and insulted me saying, “So, the wicked wolf pounced upon the little lamb and killed it for his food”.

Hand in HandThe Tyrant Who became a Just Ruler

In old times there lived a King, who was so cruel and unjust towards his people that he was always called the Tyrant. So heartless was he that his people used to pray night and day that they might have a new king.One day, much to their surprise, he called his people together and said to them, “My dear people, the days of my tyranny are over. Therefore you shall live in peace and happiness, for I have decided to try to rule justly and well.”The King kept his word so well that soon he was known throughout the land as the Just king. By and by, one of his favorites came to him and said, “Your Majesty, I beg of you to tell me how it was that you had this change of heart towards your people?’And the King replied, ”As I was walking galloping through my forests one afternoon, I caught sight of a hound chasing a fox. The fox escaped into his hole, but not until he had been bitten by the dog so badly that he would be lame for life.Returning home, the hound met a man who threw a stone at him, which broke his leg. The man had no t gone far when a horse kicked him and broke his leg. Here I came to my senses, and resolved to change my rule. ”For surely,” I said to myself, ”he who does evil will sooner or later be overtaken by evil.

Title: Fuel Cash Aid

Thesis : The government is now starting to distribute cash to the poor to help offset the effects of higher fuel prices. As expected, there have been some problems

ArgumentsA number of officials from the Central Statistics Agency were reported to have abused their positions by siphoning off the aid meant for the poor. In addition, it turns out that many of recipients were not really poor.

RecommendationIn my opinion, the government’s policy of giving money to the poor is not effective. I believe that it will be more effective if the aid is given to those who can’t afford to send their children to school. Untold numbers of children fail to get a proper education simply because they come from poor families. Consequently, sufficient funds must be allocated for education, which in turn would ease the burden on the poor.

(Accept any possible answers)T itle: Rock Rocks!!

Thesis: Rock music has been one of the most powerful music in the world. Rock does not only concern with the music but also the life and fashion style of the rockers.

ArgumentsThere are those who do not approve of the way rockers dress and behave. Some go further and accuse rockers of Satanism. For example, Ozzy Osbourne, a famous rock star, often bit the head off small animals and drank their blood on stage. Many people considered such acts affiliated with Satanism.

There are also occasions where teen commits suicide after going to a concert or listening to music. Such cases strengthen the conviction of many people that rock music, such as heavy metal and underground music is truly a bad influence.

RecommendationFor those reasons, I think the rockers should give positive examples to the listeners because the listeners tend to listen to their idols instead of other people.

B(Accept Any Possible Answers)

Title: The Use of Pesticides

Thesis: Nowadays, the pesticides have been one of the useful components for the farmers in keeping a good plant.

ArgumentsUnfortunately, farmers commonly do not know how to use pesticides properly and they do not take enough care. They only think about how to increase the production and get as much profit as possible. This result in poisonings while they are spraying pesticides on their plants because the residues of the chemicals stay on the crops.Furthermore, we still find many improper practices in the use of pesticides. For example, in villages, pesticides sellers often sell them together with food.In addition, only a few pesticides sellers know how to use them properly so they can provide correct information about the use to farmers. Consequently, farmers often wrongly spray their plants within 2 weeks of harvesting.

RecommendationTherefore, the state officials should give agricultural extension or counseling to the farmers so that they can use the pesticides properly.
