Borobudur consists of ten levels and measures 123 x 123 meters.
Inside there are 1460 reliefs and 504 Buddhist stupas. Since 1991, Borobudur has become even
more special because it has been designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
Borobudur Temple was built around 800 AD or the 9th century.
The founder of Borobudur Temple was King Samaratungga who came from the Syailendra
Dynasty. The construction process was carried out by Mahayana Buddhists during the reign
of the Syailendra dynasty.
Currently, Borobudur has become a tourist attraction visited by many tourists, both
local and foreign. Apart from that, Borobudur Temple has also become a holy place for the
Buddhist community and is the main place during the celebration of the Buddhist holiday
called Vesak Day.

Animal Story Text
Deer and Tortoise
Long ago there lived a deer who was arrogant and angry. He acted very
arrogantly like the strongest King of the Forest. He often underestimates the
abilities of other animals.
One day the deer was walking by the lake. He met a turtle who was seen
just pacing around.

"Turtle, what are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for a source of livelihood," answered the Turtle.
The deer suddenly became angry when he heard the turtle's answer.
“Don't pretend, O Turtle! You're just walking around, but you act like you're
looking for a source of livelihood!"
The Tortoise tried to explain, but the Deer was still angry. In fact, the
Deer threatened to step on the Tortoise's body. The irritated turtle finally
challenged him to compete with his leg calf strength.
The Deer's emotions burned like fire, he was very angry when he heard
the Tortoise's challenge to fight with his calf. He also asked the turtle to kick
his calf first.
"Kick as hard as you can!"
The Tortoise was not willing to do it. He said, “If I kick
your calf, you will fall and not be able to kick me back.”
The deer became increasingly angry when he heard the turtle's words
because he felt like he was being teased. He got ready to kick. He's planning.
When he felt it was right, he kicked with his front leg as hard as he could.
When the Deer swung his leg, the Tortoise immediately put his legs into
his shell. The deer's kick only hit an empty spot. The Deer was very angry to
find that his kick didn't hit. He then stepped on the turtle's shell as hard as a
giant stepping on an ant.
As a result, the Tortoise's body sank into the ground. The Deer
thought the Tortoise was dead. He also left the Turtle.
The turtle tried hard to get out of the ground. After a few moments of
effort, the turtle finally managed to get out of the ground. He then looked for
the deer. He found the deer, then the turtle said. "Get ready Deer, now it's my
turn to kick."
The Deer only underestimated the Tortoise's abilities, saying, "Use all
your ability to kick my calf.
Come on, don't hesitate!”
The Tortoise was alert and took stances on high ground. He then rolled
his body. When he was almost near the deer's body, he raised his body until
it floated. The Tortoise aimed at the Deer's nose. The Tortoise's shell was so
hard that it hit the Deer's nose.
The Deer felt like his nose had broken off. Immediately, the proud deer felt
pain and no longer dared to underestimate other animals.

Batik
Source: enskloplediaindonesia.com
Batik is a traditional cloth originating from Indonesia. Making batik is
usually done by women. Almost every region in Indonesia has unique motifs
and colors according to their respective regions.
Batik can be used to make clothes, trousers, bags, suits, skirts, sandals, and
so on. In 2009 batik was recognized by UNESCO as a Representative List of
the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
The main material for making batik is white cloth. Apart from that, you also need an ingredient
called "night" and a small stove to heat the night. For coloring, materials from tree bark and plants are
used.
How to make batik is as follows. First, batik patterns are drawn with a
pencil on the white cloth. Usually, the patterns are floral, leaf, animal, or striped.
Second, after being drawn, the patterns are covered with wax which has been
heated using a canting. Third, the cloth is dipped in colored liquid to produce
colorful batik cloth. Finally, the batik cloth is dried in the sun at a certain air
temperature until it becomes dry and ready to be used.

Texts Themed on Natural Phenomena
Read the text on the theme of natural phenomena below!
The Smog Is Increasingly Thick
Land and forest burning in Riau is still widespread. NOAA18 satellite monitoring shows there
are 145 fire hotspots in Riau. The concentration of hotspots in the areas of Bengkalis 38, Meranti 20,
Siak 19, Pelalawan 19, Dumai 17, Inhil 15, Rohil 14, and Kuansing 3.
The Giam Siak Kecil biosphere reserve is also still burning. This is very detrimental because the
biosphere reserve is the habitat of elephants, Sumatran tigers, tapirs, bears and other fauna.
Observations from the air show that illegal logging is systematically encroaching on the biosphere
reserve.
Thick smoke from the burning area was carried by the dominant wind from northeast to
southwest, causing reduced visibility in Pekanbaru. On Tuesday (11/3) morning, visibility was only 200
meters.
Air quality in Riau is also getting worse, some areas are even at dangerous levels because they are
above 300 psi.
It was recorded that dangerous air quality was found in Duri Camp (409 psi), Duri Field (>500
psi), Siak (500 psi), Kandis (500 psi), Perawang (500 psi), Bangko (>500 psi), and Libo (449 psi). As a
result, the number of people affected by smoke-related diseases continues to increase. There are
41,589 people suffering from ISPA, 1,544 people suffering from asthma, 1,385 people suffering from
eye irritation, 2,084 people suffering from skin irritation, and 862 people suffering from pneumonia.
Handling of the smoke disaster continues. The ground operation was carried out by deploying
more than 2,500 personnel consisting of TNI, Polri, Manggala Agni, BPBD, SKPD and volunteers. Air
operations were carried out with weather modification and water bombing. The remote location of the
fire point, the absence of water, and the thick smoke caused problems in extinguishing it.
The final effort made was to distribute 2 tons of NaCl seedling material to West Siak, Rohul and
Kampar. Water bombing was carried out 236 times, namely by Sikorsky helicopters 62 times on the

Cause-Effect Sequence
Solution/Closing
THE SMOKE IS GETTING MORE Dense
Land and forest burning in Riau is still widespread.
NOAA18 satellite monitoring shows there are 145 fire hotspots in Riau.
Statement
General
Concentration of hotspots in Bengkalis 38, Meranti 20, Siak 19, Pelalawan 19, Dumai 17,
Inhil 15, Rohil 14, and Kuansing 3.
The Giam Siak Kecil biosphere reserve is also still burning. This is very
detrimental because the biosphere reserve is the habitat of elephants, Sumatran
tigers, tapirs, bears and other fauna. Observations from the air show that illegal
logging is systematically encroaching on the biosphere reserve.
Thick smoke from the burning area was carried by the dominant wind from
northeast to southwest, causing reduced visibility in Pekanbaru. On Tuesday
(11/3) morning visibility was only 200 meters. Air quality in Riau is also getting
worse, some areas are even at dangerous levels because they are above 300
psi. It was recorded that dangerous air quality was found in Duri Camp (409
psi), Duri Field (>500 psi), Siak (500 psi), Kandis (500 psi), Perawang (500 psi),
Bangko (>500 psi), and Libo ( 449 psi). As a result, the number of people
affected by smoke-related diseases continues to increase.
Order of ReasonConsequence
Order of ReasonConsequence
There are 41,589 people suffering from acute respiratory infections, 1,544 people suffering from asthma, 1,385 people
suffering from eye irritation, 2,084 people suffering from skin irritation, and 862 people suffering from pneumonia.
Handling of the smoke disaster continues. The ground operation was
carried out by deploying more than 2,500 TNI, Polri, Manggala Agni, BPBD,
SKPD personnel and volunteers to extinguish the fire. The remote location of
fire hotspots, the absence of water and dense smoke caused problems in
extinguishing. Air operations were carried out with weather modification and
water bombing. On this day, 2 tons of seedling material for West Siak NaClke,
Rohuldan Kampar, were distributed. Water bombing was carried out 236 times,
namely by Sikorsky helicopters 62 times on the Limestone Hill.
Kamov helicopters extinguished fires 47 times in Bukit Batu and Dumai, while 4
other helicopters bombed water 126 times in Meranti, Langgam and Bukit Kapur.

Homecoming
Source: www.selasar.com
Homecoming is a tradition of returning to your hometown during Eid al-Fitr
(Lebaran). This tradition is usually carried out by Indonesian people who work
and live in the city.
When we go home we can meet and gather with parents or relatives who live far away to say
goodbye and forgive. The homecoming time is usually seven days before and seven days after Eid al-Fitr.
Homecomers return to their hometowns using various means of
transportation, such as cars, motorbikes, trains, airplanes and ships. During
the homecoming season, transportation facilities and inter-regional roads in
Indonesia are very congested and congested. Travel ticket prices are usually
expensive and difficult to obtain.
Despite this, going home remains a tradition that Indonesian people carry
out every year. The positive value of this homecoming is that it can strengthen
relationships and strengthen brotherhood between families and Indonesian
society.
