Indonesia has some of the richest forests in the
world. The total area of forested land is approximately
120 million hectares.
These forests have existed for millions 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 ground
and become humus.
The humus is the 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 of this
century.
Our government realizes this and has taken some
steps to prevent the destruction. Some regulations have
been issued (= dikeluarkan) to protect the forests. In
addition, reforestation project are being carried out.
These project are as important as other big
development project. It is our duty as good citizens to
help the government carry out these programmes
successfully.

The word communication comes from the verb
communicate, which means to give or exchange
information, news, ideas or opinions by speech or
writing. In other words, communication 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 was not
talk to other people, and not other people will talk to
him or teach him anything. So it would be impossible
for him to learn anything. Can be 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. Some 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
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 he telephone, radio and telegraph as a
means of communication. If we do not have a
telephone or a radio, we can still communicate by
writing letters.
Writing began when men used pictures to explain
their thoughts to others. Now writing has become a
very important means of communication. Newspapers,
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.
