Membaca & Pemahaman Bahasa Inggris · SMA medium

Text 2 — The following text is for questions 18 and 19.

Dear Cool,

I am sick and tired of your magazine. Every issue turns out to be the same parade of flawless faces and perfect hair. Don't you ever get tired of showing only cute and gorgeous people? Why not, for once, take people for what they are?

If good looks were all that counted, the rest of us might as well disappear. And what about the disabled or handicapped? Where are they in your pages?

Would it hurt to feature somebody plain and ordinary, someone like me? Why don't you run a story about families that are nice on the inside without being beautiful on the outside?

It seems you believe that only good-looking people can be good-hearted. I'm deeply disappointed about this and I want you to do something about it.

From Deeply Hurt

The magazine editor.
✓

Magazine readers.

Kunci jawaban

Penjelasan singkat

Surat dibuka dengan “Dear Cool” — ditujukan kepada pengelola/redaksi majalah Cool — dan berisi keluhan pembaca tentang isi majalah.

(Jawaban draft awal — dapat disempurnakan lewat fitur suggest-answer / tinjauan.)

Penulis mengeluhkan isi majalah (your magazine) dan menuntut perubahan (I want you to do something about it) — sasaran surat adalah pihak yang menentukan isi majalah, yakni redaktur majalah → A.

“Deeply Hurt” (C) adalah nama samaran si penulis, bukan penerima; B dan E bukan pihak yang bisa mengubah isi; D (penerbit) tidak mengurusi rubrik.

Catatan: surat pembaca pada soal aslinya berpotensi berasal dari majalah nyata (berhak cipta) sehingga ditulis ulang sebagai prosa orisinal dengan sapaan “Dear Cool”, nama samaran “Deeply Hurt”, isi keluhan, dan kunci jawaban dipertahankan.

✎ Teks pada soal ini disusun ulang secara orisinal (bukan salinan sumber berhak cipta). Jenis soal, tingkat kesukaran, dan kunci jawaban tetap setara.
