KATA PENGANTAR

“Dengan kesabaran dan susah payah kami terus bekerja dengan keinginan
besar untuk maju, ya... maju...” (Elisabeth Gruyters art. 53)

Pujian dan syukur ke hadirat Tuhan sang Pecinta hati kami yang manis, yang
karena kasih dan penyertaanNya, kami senantiasa dianugerahi rahmat kesehatan,
ketekunan, dan kesiapsediaan memberikan diri dalam keseluruhan proses
pelayanan kepada peserta didik. Pun atas perkenananNya, dengan berbekal
komitmen untuk memberikan layanan pembelajaran sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan
kondisi kontekstual, kami berproses mulai dari persiapan, penyusunan, dan
finalisasi referensi belajar yang dikemas dalam bentuk elektronik ini dengan baik.

Seluruh materi buku ini disusun berdasarkan tuntutan Kurikulum Nasional
ditujukan secara khusus bagi peserta didik sekolah-sekolah di bawah pengelolaan
Yayasan Tarakanita. Disusun berdasarkan konsep dan pengertian baku dari ilmu
pengetahuan, disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan taraf perkembangan dan tuntutan
kemahiran kompetensi sesuai jenjang, dan disertai dengan berbagai pembahasan
beserta contoh-contoh dalam kehidupan konkrit, diharapkan materi pembelajaran
ini sesuai dengan kebutuhan implementatif pengalaman sehari-hari peserta didik di
tengah-tengah masyarakat.

Sesuai dengan tuntutan perkembangan teknologi di era digital, di mana
dibutuhkan akses yang mudah, cepat, dan efektif dalam proses pembelajaran,
maka buku ini kami terbitkan dalam bentuk buku elektronik. Semoga keberadaan
buku elektronik ini dapat membantu peserta didik mempersiapkan pembelajaran,
memenuhi kebutuhan pengetahuan, dan menjadi referensi yang cukup bagi
persiapan dan proses penyelesaian tugas dan/atau penilaian sesuai dengan tuntutan
materi tertentu.

Kata Pengantar

“Apa yang dapat kukerjakan ialah meneruskan karya Allah dengan tekun sambil berdoa
terus menerus, dan selalu berusaha melibatkan diri di dalamnya” (EG 24).

Syukur kepada Allah karena kami dapat menyusun buku ini. Tanpa berpegangan pada Allah
dan bimbingan Roh Kudus-Nya pasti kami kehilangan arah dan buku ini tidak akan pernah
diselesaikan.

Sebagai bagian dari komunitas pendidikan Tarakanita, dengan segenap kemampuan dan
segala keterbatasan, para penulis – yang terdiri dari beberapa guru di Yayasan Tarakanita
se-Indonesia – mencoba berbagi hati dan pemikiran untuk turut mengembangkan
pembelajaran di lingkup Tarakanita.

Buku ini mengacu pada kompetensi dasar yang tertuang dalam Kurikulum 2013, yang
dilengkapi dengan kurikulum Tarakanita. Buku ini ditulis bukan dengan tujuan akan menjadi
satu-satunya sumber belajar, namun mengingatkan semua pengguna buku ini untuk
membuka wawasan yang lebih luas. Buku ini juga disusun untuk mengembangkan karakter
yang menjiwai setiap insan Tarakanita.

Buku ini diharapkan dapat menginspirasi para siswa untuk mengembangkan ketrampilan
mereka mengeksplorasi semua sumber belajar, sehingga tidak terbatas hanya pada
pengetahuan yang didapatkan dari buku ini maupun dari guru yang mengajar. Guru pun
diharapkan terinspirasi untuk lebih kreatif memberikan kesegaran dalam kegiatan
pembelajaran yang menyenangkan.

Tim penyusun mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pihak-pihak yang telah membuat buku ini
ada, yang tidak dapat kami sebutkan satu-persatu, pihak-pihak yang menginisiasi ide
penyusunan buku dan pembentukan formasi penulis per mata pelajaran per jenjang. Kami
juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada para kolega yang menjadi tempat kami
berkonsultasi soal ide dan materi, mulai dari proses penyusunan hingga penerbitan.

Semoga buku ini dapat dimanfaatkan dengan bijaksana oleh para guru dan siswa Tarakanita,
serta dapat membuat setiap kegiatan pembelajaran lebih hidup.

Todd : Oh, hey, Keri! You cook, right! You're a pretty good cook.

Keri : I'm OK.

Todd : OK. I want to make an omelet, so actually this is really silly, I've never made

one before. How do you make an omelet?

Keri : OK, Well, I can teach you how I make them, which is the same way my father

and grandmother make them, which is a little special.

Todd : OK. Yeah! Yeah!

Keri : First you take some eggs and crack them in a bowl, and whisk them up, quite,

so they're quite high and fluffy, and in a hot pan, and you need a pan that's kind of

small, that the sides go up at an angle. You put some oil and heat it up, so it's

quite hot, and then you take your whipped up eggs, or whisked up eggs, and pour

them into the pan, and as it's cooking, if you take a spatula, and push the bottom

layer of the egg, to the side, to the sides, and then to the middle, so the uncooked egg

gets to the bottom of the pan.

Todd : Oh, OK. Wow!

Keri : OK. And keep doing that until most of the egg is cooked so you should have a

nice thick omelet and then flip it over, you'll only have to cook that side lightly. Put

your fillings on the top and fold it over and let it sit just long enough to melt the

cheese.

Todd : Wow. That sounds really good.

Keri : Mm, it is.

Todd : Wow. What fillings do you recommend?

Keri : Um, well, if you want to do a real simple one, you can just use some pre-made

salsa and cheese, and that's easy, or you can do something like cut up some

ham and cheese, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, anything that you like. If you want

to make a spinach omelet then you have to add the cooked spinach to

the egg mixture. So it's actually cooked in it. It's inside bacon and sour cream is nice and

cheese.

Todd : Oh, OK. I'll have to give that a try.

Keri : OK. Sure. Scan to listen the mp3

Yayasan Tarakanita Bahasa Inggris Kelas IX Bahasa Inggris SMP 41

Dangerous Dining

Fish is a major food in Japan. Every morning, thousands of fish
sellers crowd the famous Tsukiji seafood market in Tokyo. Here, no product
has a higher price than the one that’s the most dangerous – the puffer fish, or
fugu. Eating this fish is like playing a dangerous game. If a person gets a piece
that has poison in it, he or she may die! Despite the danger, fugu appears on
more than 80 menus in the Asakusa restaurant area of Tokyo. The puffer is so
ugly, it’s so cute, but it doesn’t fool most dinners.

Tom Caradonna has come to Tokyo for the complete fugu
experience, and he’s brought his friend, Aki. Wisely, Tom has chosen to eat at
the famous Matsumoto restaurant. This fugu restaurant is 120 years old and
it’s well-known for its careful preparation of puffer fish. That’s important when
you’re taking risks with a toxin that is 1,000 times stronger than cyanide!

‘I’ve heard stories about people dying by trying the fugu, but it
hasn’t really concerned me.’
Even though Tom isn’t too worried to try fugu, there is a big risk. Over the
years, hundreds of people have died from eating it. Chef Hayashi is the one
who must prepare the fish safely so that Tom and Aki don’t get sick.

‘It’ll be fine, don’t worry. I’ve been doing this for 53 years. I took
the exam in 1949 and passed. This is my fugu license.’

After World War II, there were many deaths from eating fugu.
Many Japanese people were very hungry, and some looked for food in
restaurant rubbish. Sometimes they found fugu which had been thrown out.
When they cooked and ate the fish, they got sick or died. Eventually, General
Douglas MacArthur, who led the US forces in Japan, created strict controls and
regulations. Fugu chefs had to get licenses for preparing and serving puffer
fish. Even with more regulations, fugu killed 2,500 Japanese people between
1945 and 1975. Regulations and education have cut the number of deaths to
only three annually, but many diners still get sick.

‘About 70% of the poisonings happen in private homes where
people catch and prepare fugu on their own and get poisoned. That’s most
common.’

At the Tokyo University of Fisheries, Yuji Nagashima studies fugu
poison carefully. He hopes to develop an anti-toxin, a medicine that will stop
people from dying from fugu poisoning.

Yayasan Tarakanita Bahasa Inggris Kelas IX Bahasa Inggris SMP 42

‘A tiger fugu has enough toxin to kill 30 people. The toxin itself, to give
you ideas, is 1,000 times stronger than cyanide.’
1 mg of the toxin is strong enough to kill a person. It kills by paralyzing people’s
nerves so that the poisoned person can’t move. It also paralyses the lungs so that
they can’t breathe. The only way to save them is to use a respirator. This special
machine can breathe for them until the toxin wears off.

‘This is the heart. These are the gills. They are poison.’
Toxins make about half of the puffer fish impossible to eat. Chef Hayashi throws
those parts out and then cuts the remaining flesh very thinly. He then places the
fugu on a plate in the shape of a chrysanthemum, a beautiful flower that’s popular
in Japan. Appropriately, it’s also a common flower at funerals!

‘Still breathing?’ ‘I can still breathe!’
A fugu meal is usually eight different dishes, including sake that is topped with a
cooked fugu fin ... ‘And I still feel fine!’ … And grilled fugu. ‘I think that’s the best.’
The puffer fish may be dangerous, but for some it’s a delicious meal. Luckily, Tom
has survived his dangerous dining experience – at least this time!
