Penyengat is a small island situated in 1.5 km  from Tanjungpinang (Bintan island). Administratively speaking, it belongs to the province of the archipelago of Riau. The island has a 3,5 Km length. Its population is about 2,000 persons. Among them, 1/3 are descendants of the former royal family of Riau. Actually, in the early 16th century, the ruler of Malacca took refuge to Bintan after the Portuguese conquered Malacca. The court moved several times, to Johor and to Lingga, and a branch of the royal family eventually returned and settled on Pulau Penyengat.

In the centre of the island is the restored palace of Raja Ali, who is remembered for his strict adherence to Islam. Raja Ali decided to build a mosque. According to legends, people donated food to the workers to help to build the mosque. At one time, they donated so much that the number of donated eggs exceeded the needs of workers. Thus, the eggs where mixed with the lime, resulting in the fine cement the mosque has been built of. The mosque was completed in 1844 and became an important centre of Muslim Malay learning in the 19th century.

The mosque is worth to be seen, with its original yellow and green colors, but you can’t get in if you are not Muslim. Do not hesitate to check out also the numerous royal graves around the island, and the remains of the Raja’s houses. For those interested in military history, you can also see in the middle of the island an old citadel. It is worth getting there if you want an amazing sight over the whole island. There is also a second lonely little fort located on the west part of the island.

I lifted my wet woolen gloves up to my damp eyelashes and wiped the delicate snowflakes from my eyes. I could not feel my nose and my breath was like icicles forming in the air. I was cold. I was fed up! I wanted to go home. Mum and dad had forced me and my 2 sisters - Jenny and Mary to go for a Sunday afternoon walk in the park. I could see my footprints in the snowy path. Like a trail of breadcrumbs in the forest showing me the way home.

I stopped and listened to the magic around me. I could hear the wind howling like a stray dog hungry for a yummy bone. The branches of the trees that used to whisper and rustle had become bare, brown bones and the grass was covered with a white sparkling blanket. Then I saw a filmy web shimmer and glimmer beneath a pale sun. My breath was like silky soft smoke wafting up into the freezing cold air.

Suddenly there was mum with a big cup of liquid heaven. She handed it to me with an enormous smile on her face. Here you are Jo, this will keep you warm"

I slowly sipped the delicious liquid and felt it dripping and slipping down into my tummy like lava flowing down a mountainside. My wet woolen gloves were no longer frozen but warm. My breath had thawed and I was no longer fed up or cold. I was happy and contented.

Sultan Riau Mosque is one of the must-be-visited tourism destinations when you are travelling to Riau Islands Province. It is a worth visiting historical tourism destination in Penyengat Island, a district in Riau Islands Province, in which the number of historical properties are kept well within the mosque.

It was built when Engku Puteri Hamidah, the consort of Sultan Mahmudsyah (1761 -1812 A.D.), chose the island as her residence. In its early years, the mosque was just a simple building made of wood with tiled-brick floor. Moreover, the mosque’s minaret was only six meters in high.

As the mosque could not take the number of Muslims when they were going to praying within anymore, Yang Dipertuan Muda Raja Abdurrahman, the ruling Sultan of Riau Kingdom during 1831-1844 A.D. initiated to enlarge and carried out some refurbishments to the mosque.

To renovate in full-scale of the mosque, the Sultan summoned his people to give charity and to work collectively in term of shouldering highly in the name of Allah. This historical moment took place on Shawwal 1^st, 1248 H (1832 A.D.), coinciding perfectly with Islamic holy day of Idul Fitri.

All people, men and women, from every corner of Penyengat Island and neighbouring islands enthusiastically took part to the mosque’s refurbishment process. They came to the island to give materials, foods, and to offer their powers. There was no another motive except for getting God’s blessing and showing their loves to the Sultan, who was known as a wise and prudent Sultan. At least, the three-meter high foundations of the mosque could be created only in three weeks.

Refering to a historical data, the mosque’s walls and foundations were the mixture of albumens, sands, and limes together. Thousands of eggs were donated by  people everyday, thus the workers only wanted to eat the yolks. Knowing such a fact, the architect, who was an Indian coming from Singapore, initiated to create the walls from the mixtures of albumens, sands, and limes. As the results, the mosque can stand firmly up to these days. In addition, the mosque’s wall is about 50 centimetres thickness now.

The mosque is a rare historical building and the only remnant of Riau-Lingga Sultanate. The entire width of the mosque complex measures 54,4 x 32,2 meters wide with the main building which is 29,3 x 19,5 meters wide. Its roof is supported by four underpinnings inside.

There are two sotoh houses where can be functioned as inns for travellers, and likewise, a place to organize prayer meeting. Near the sotoh houses, there are two warehouses called balai houses to put some foods for public during the fasting month of Ramadhan.

Abu Nawas a very respectable message man

Long time ago, in the kingdom of king Aaron, Abu Nawas was invited to the king’s dinner. He went to the palace in his best clothes. A servant welcomed him and showed Abu Nawas to his seat. Then, all ministers came and sat on their chairs. The last person entering the room was the king. He sat on his special big seat.

On each plate, there was delicious roast chicken. Its smell made people hungry. After praying, the king invited all people to eat. Abu Nawas took his fork and knife. He wanted to cut his chicken. Suddenly the king stopped him, ‘Wait Abu!’.
‘Whatever you do to your chicken, I will do that to you too,’ said the king.
‘For example, if you cut the chicken’s wing, I will also cut your arm.’ The king said.

Abu Nawas looked sad and disappointed. But it was not long. Soon his face looked very bright. Suddenly, he pinched the chicken’s wing. The king was surprised. He didn’t think Abu would do that. But he could not deny what he had said. So he pinched Abu arm.

Next, Abu patted the chicken’s back. The king also patted Abu’s back.  All ministers wanted to laugh, but they didn’t dare. They just looked down their plates. After some time, He patted Abu’s shoulders.

‘All right Abu, you eat you chicken now!’ said the king while grinning.
‘Thank you Your Majesty,’ said Abu happily. ‘You are able to escape from my punishment,’ said King Aaron with his mouth full of food.

At that time, the king looked amused. He felt satisfied with Abu. Some ministers smiled and laughed a little. Abu didn’t really care about it. He was enjoying the roasted chicken very much. There were more food and laughter during the rest of the party. All were very much happy….

Read the text and answer question 39 to 41.

Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie was born on June 25, 1936 in the sleepy seaside town of Pare Pare in the Indonesian state of South Sulawesi. The fourth of eight children, he was nicknamed "Rudy" at an early age. His father, Alwi Abdul Jalil Habibie, was a government agricultural official who promoted the cultivation of cloves and peanuts. His grandfather was a Muslim leader and an affluent landowner.

As a child Habibie liked swimming, reading, singing, riding his father's racehorses, and building model airplanes. In 1950, when Rudy was 13, his father suffered a heart attack and died. Suharto, then a young military officer billeted across the street, was present at his father's deathbed and became Habibie's protector and substitute father. Habibie later wrote of Suharto: "I regarded him as an idol, who could serve as an example for all people … a young, taciturn brigade commander, with great humane feelings, and a fierce fighting spirit." Suharto's autobiography said Habibie "regards me as his own parent. He always asks for my guidance and takes down notes on philosophy."

After graduating with a doctoral degree from the Aachen Institute in 1965, Habibie joined the aircraft manufacturing firm Messerschmitt-Boelkow-Bluhm, rising to the rank of vice-president. As a research scientist and aeronautical engineer, he helped design several planes, including the DO-31, an innovative vertical takeoff and landing craft. He specialized in solutions for aircraft cracking, gaining the nickname "Mr. Crack" as one of the first scientists to calculate the dynamics of random crack propagation. He also became involved in international aircraft marketing activities and NATO's defense and economic development.

TEACHER

A teacher (or, in the US, educator) is a person who provides education for pupils (children) and students (adults). The role of teacher is often formal and ongoing, carried out at a school or other place of formal education. In many countries, a person who wishes to become a teacher must first obtain specified professional qualifications or credentials from a university or college. These professional qualifications may include the study of pedagogy, the science of teaching. Teachers, like other professionals, may have to continue their education after they qualify, a process known as continuing professional development. Teachers may use a lesson plan to facilitate student learning, providing a course of study which is called the curriculum.

A teacher's role may vary among cultures. Teachers may provide instruction in literacy and numeracy, craftsmanship or vocational training, the arts, religion, civics, community roles, or life skills.

A teacher who facilitates education for an individual may also be described as a personal tutor, or, largely historically, a governess.

In some countries, formal education can take place through home schooling. Informal learning may be assisted by a teacher occupying a transient or ongoing role, such as a family member, or by anyone with knowledge or skills in the wider community setting.

Religious and spiritual teachers, such as gurus, mullahs, rabbis, pastors/youth pastors and lamas, may teach religious texts such as the Quran, Torah or Bible.
