It has a flower almost a metre in diameter and 1.40 metres in height. "Raflesia" is derived from the name of the British Governor General, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, who (=yang) once governed and built the Botanical Gardens in Bogor. Though it is called Rafflesia after Raffles, the man who discovered the plant was Beccary, an Italian botanist who visited Sumatra in 1928. Rafflesia consists of two parts: the stick4ifce part which grows in the middle and the petals around, and below it.

The total area of forested land is approximately 120 million hectares. These forests have existed for million of years and they have much to offer us. They are important for their products, such as timber, rattan (= rotan), resin (= damar), etc. They are also important for keeping the soil fertile. The leaves of the forest trees fall to the ground an4 become humus. The humus is fertilizer for the soil. The forests are also important for preventing soil erosion and floods. The roots of the trees prevent the soil from being washed away by the rain. Some years ago the forests in Indonesia looked from the air like an unbroken carpet of green. Today there are a lot of bare patches (= bidang-bidang tanah) where trees have been cut down and cleared. The trees have been cut down for timber. Forests are cleared for farms, mines and settlements. In some areas the destruction is continuing at a very rapid rate. If we do not stop this, our forests will be gone by the end 6f this century.

A lot more people are interested in sports as spectators. They enjoy watching a football game, a swimming contest or an athletics contest. Among the biggest sports events in the world are the Olympic Games. They began in Greece long ago. They were held every four years at Olympia; Only men participate in the games. Women could not even watch them in the stadium. : At the first Olympic Games there was only one event, a running race. Later game had more events, long jump, javelin, boxing and chariot (= kereta perang) racing. The only prize the winner received was a crown of leaves. But it was a great honours to win. When the Romans conquered Greece, they continued to hold the Olympic Games. But they started to give winners big prizes., Then, people, began to cheat, so the Roman Emperor (= kaisar) Theodosius stopped the games. In 1896 a Frenchman, 'Baron Pierre de Couhertin, revived the Olympic Games. The games were held in Greece. They became the first modern Olympic Games. People from every country in the world can participate, and each time the games are held

in a .different country. At each, new Olympic Games there is a special opening ceremony: the lighting of the Olympic torch.

In other words communications is the sending of information or news from one person to another; or the exchange of such information or news between people. Through communication people learn from one another the things they want to know. Imagine if human beings could not communicate with one another. If a person cannot communicate, he will not talk to other people, and no other people will talk to him or teach him anything. So it would be impossible for him to learn anything. Can he learn anything by himself? How could a child learn to do anything at all if he did not have the chance to communicate with other people, especially with his parents, brothers and

sisters? He would not learn to talk and would not learn to do any other things either. Someone must teach the child. In other words, someone must communicate knowledge and skills to the child. The main way people communicate with one another is by speaking. Two people can communicate in this way when they are near to each other. Nowadays, however, we can use electronic. instruments like the telephone, radio and telegraph as a means of communicate by writing letters. Writing began when men used pictures to explain their thoughts to others. Now writing has become a very important means to communicate. Newspaper, magazines, books and other printed materials use writing. Since communication is important for gaining knowledge, you must communicate actively with other people, especially with your teachers and friends at school.
