CONTOH SOAL

Text 1

Passage A

School is necessary because it, first, makes communication with diverse people essential, as parents do not choose where their children go, and secondly, homeschooling and extracurricular activities connected to it cannot bring that diversity, for the attending group is self-selecting, rather than ‘unfiltered mixture’. I believe that none of the two assumptions is warranted nor true.

In the first place, parents still select schools for their children on the basis of common values, cultures and achievements. As such, public schools then offer obvious misrepresentations of the society.

Not only that, I think it’s non-sense that homeschooling should somehow get rid of diversity from socialization in sports teams or other clubs. What members of a basketball team or a debate club share is not race, religion, nor income bracket: it is the desire to participate.

Passage B

Children can perhaps be best described as beings of potential during their schools years. Each child is in the process of discovering their talents and having them be cared for in an attempt to best reach self-actualization.

Under the homeschooling system parents become much more exclusive mentors to a child, and this can be problematic. Although parents are generally aware of what their children is capable of, their evaluations are not always precise.

This could be for a number of reasons. First, it may due to the fact that children are predominantly seen in the home environment, limiting their chances to show off their potential in other situations. It could also be because parents sometimes assume that their children will share the same talents that they had. Simply stated, it would be unreasonable to assume parents could see the whole pictures.

     E. Parents play a role as a private guru.

Pembahasan :

Melalui kalimat “What members of a basketball team or a debate club share is not race, religion, nor income bracket: it is the desire to participate.” Pada passage A, dapat dikatakan bahwa faktanya seringkali bukan hanya sekadar mengikuti sebuah klub atau menjadi bagian dari sebuah tim yang diinginkan seorang anak, namun lebih kepada keinginannya untuk berpartisipasi dan bersosialisasi dengan lingkungan mereka sendiri. Dan hal tersebutlah yang tercermin pada kedua bacaan di atas.

Jawaban: A

     E. wrong assumptions on both home school education and homeschooling

Pembahasan :

Pada passage B dikatakan bahwa orangtua cenderung memiliki pemahaman yang terbatas terhadap potensi serta bakat yang dimiliki oleh anak-anak mereka.

     D. children are going their ways to develop their talents and personality

Pembahasan :

Kesimpulan yang paling tepat untuk kedua bacaan di atas, terlepas dari permasalahan homeschooling dan bakat yang cenderung salah diarahkan, adalah sekolah merupakan media yang paling tepat bagi anak uuntuk bersosialisasi; meskipun tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa orangtua pun masih tetap selektif dalam memilih sekolah yang terbaik bagi mereka.

Jawaban: D
