Bahasa Inggris / Think Globally Act Locally iii
Bahasa Inggris adalah bahasa utama dalam komunikasi antarbangsa dan pergaulan
dunia. Makin datarnya dunia dengan perkembangan teknologi informasi dan
komunikasi menyebabkan pergaulan tidak dapat lagi dibatasi oleh batas-batas negara.
Kurikulum 2013 menyadari peran penting bahasa Inggris tersebut.
Kurikulum 2013 dirancang untuk menyongsong model pembelajaran abad 21.
Di dalamnya terdapat pergeseran pembelajaran dari siswa diberitahu menjadi
siswa mencaritahu dari berbagai sumber belajar melampaui batas guru dan satuan
pendidikan. Peran bahasa Inggris dalam model pembelajaran seperti itu menjadi
sangat sentral mengingat lebih banyak sumber belajar yang menggunakan bahasa
Inggris dibandingkan bahasa lainnya.
Sejalan dengan peran di atas, pembelajaran bahasa Inggris untuk SMP/MTs Kelas
IX ini disusun untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berbahasa para siswa. Penyajiannya
menggunakan pendekatan pembelajaran berbasis teks, baik lisan maupun tulis,
dengan menempatkan bahasa Inggris sebagai sarana berkomunikasi. Pemahaman
terhadap jenis, kaidah dan konteks suatu teks ditekankan sehingga memudahkan
siswa menangkap makna yang terkandung dalam suatu teks maupun menyajikan
gagasan dalam bentuk teks yang sesuai sehingga mudah dipahami orang lain.
Mengingat bahasa Inggris baru secara resmi diajarkan mulai Kelas IX SMP/MTs,
komunikasi yang disajikan di sini adalah komunikasi sehari-hari. Bagi beberapa
daerah yang telah mengajarkan bahasa Inggris mulai dari kelas-kelas akhir SD/MI,
materi yang disajikan perlu diperkaya dengan materi tambahan yang disesuaikan
dengan kemampuan siswa, walaupun struktur pembelajarannya tetap mengacu pada
model yang ada dalam buku ini.
Sebagai bagian dari Kurikulum 2013 yang menekankan pentingnya keseimbangan
kompetensi sikap, pengetahuan, dan keterampilan, kemampuan berbahasa Inggris
dibentuk melalui pembelajaran berkelanjutan. Pembelajaran model ini dimulai
dengan peningkatan kompetensi pengetahuan tentang jenis, kaidah, dan konteks
suatu teks, dilanjutkan dengan kompetensi keterampilan menyajikan suatu teks tulis
dan lisan baik terencana maupun spontan dengan pelafalan dan intonasi yang tepat.
Pembelajaran berkelanjutan ini bermuara pada pembentukan sikap kesantunan
berbahasa.
Buku ini menjabarkan usaha minimal yang harus dilakukan siswa untuk mencapai
kompetensi yang diharapkan. Sesuai dengan pendekatan yang digunakan dalam
Kurikulum 2013, siswa diajak untuk berani mencari sumber belajar lain yang tersedia
dan terbentang luas di sekitarnya. Peran guru dalam meningkatkan dan menyesuaikan
daya serap siswa dengan ketersediaan kegiatan pada buku ini sangat penting. Guru
dapat memperkayanya dengan kreasi dalam berbagai bentuk kegiatan lain yang sesuai
dan relevan yang bersumber dari lingkungan sosial dan alam.

Can we put any writing we have made there?”

Siti: Hi Dayu, how are you? Mr. Ahmad said you were not in class today
because you have diarrhea. Have you taken any medicine yet?
Dayu: Yes, I have. But it only helps a little.
Siti: Maybe you just have to take some rest in order to get well soon.
Just stay in bed to let the medicine work to ease your diarrhea.
Dayu is having diarrhea today, and she is
too weak to go to school, so she is staying
at home. After the class, Udin, Lina, Beni,
Edo, and Siti come to visit Dayu at home.
Play the roles of the speakers, one part at a

Dayu: Right. In fact I’m too weak to get up. I feel very tired and sleepy.
I have been to the toilet many times today and I have lost a lot of
water.
Edo: Poor you. You need to drink a lot of water so that you will not get
dehydrated. Take ‘oralit’ salt water in order to replace the water
you have lost.
Dayu: Yes, I have taken !ve sachets of ‘oralit’ since morning, and that
really helps. But I only have one sachet left.
Beni: Should we go to the drug store and buy some for her, Siti?
Siti: Actually we can make such water ourselves with water, sugar and
salt.
Dayu: That’s a good idea. The closest drug store is quite far from here.
Udin: Or you can try guava leaves. In fact I have brought some for you.
The taste is terrible but it stops your diarrhea.
Dayu: No way. I have tried it once and I could not stand the taste. It was
very bitter.
Udin: You are right. I can’t stand the taste either.
Dayu: Actually, this is a good lesson for me. I never care about what I eat.
Beni: I’ve noticed that, Dayu. I saw you eat a guava but you didn’t wash
it !rst. Listen everybody, never forget to wash your fruits and
vegetables before you eat them so that you will not take any
germs into your stomach.
Dayu: Yes, Boss. You are right. We should always clean our food well. I
should be more careful now.
Observing & Questioning
Bahasa Inggris / Think Globally Act Locally 39
Lina: And, Dayu often buys foods from the street vendors. I think we
all know that the foods are not always covered properly, and the
bowls or the plates to serve the foods are not always washed
properly either.
Dayu: I know. But, where should I get such nice foods?
Edo: I think you need to bring your lunch from home. Home food is
healthy, and you can also save your money for more useful things.
Dayu: That’s very true.
Lina: Dayu, you look very pale. I think you need to see the doctor soon
in order to get the right medicine for your diarrhea. You should
not take the diarrhea lightly.
Dayu: No, I shouldn’t. Actually, my mom is on the way from her o!ce.
She is going home early in order to take me to the hospital. I hope
I will be in the right hands soon.
Beni: You will, I’m sure.
I will ask you what Lina, Udin, Edo, Siti,

do in order to recover from her diarrhea.

Siti: “I think Riri is the most interesting orphan I have ever known. She
is not the oldest of all the children there, but she is very mature.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to talk to her personally. Can
you tell me how she has come to the orphan home?”
Dayu: “Well, I don’t know much about her either, because I have met
her only three times. What I know is that she was an only child.
Her father died when she was a baby, and her mother eight years
ago. She’s been an orphan for eight years, but she’s lived in the
orphanage for only six years now.”
Udin: “Why doesn’t she live with her grandparents?
Dayu: “They both have passed away. Her grandfather died even before
she was born, and her grandmother died six years ago.”
Beni: “Does she not have any uncles or aunts to take care of her?”
Dayu: “She has an uncle, her mother’s brother. Two months after her
grandmother’s death he sent Riri to the orphanage.”
Lina: “Why doesn’t she live with him instead?”

Siti: “Does he often visit her?”
Dayu: “Yes, her uncle and his family have visited her a lot of times. They
routinely visit her once a month.”
Udin: “It must be sad to be an orphan and live in an orphan home.”
Dayu: “Riri is sad to be an orphan, but she’s not a gloomy kid, you know.
As you see, she is a cheerful and friendly girl. She has even shown
her great care for other needy children like her.”
Siti: “What do you mean?”
Dayu: “Early last year, the orphanage started a charity group. It consists
of all the orphans there who already sit in senior and junior
high schools. She has participated very actively in the group’s
activities. They have made handicrafts and sold them. They have
used the pro!t to help street children and poor families. The
program has run for almost two years now.”
Beni: “Wow! That’s amazing. I’ve never thought of that before. I
thought that the kids in orphan homes were sad kids who needed
our help. But they help other people instead.”
Edo: “What have they done for street children?”
Dayu: “They have done one thing for street children and one thing for
poor families. To celebrate the 15th birthday of the orphanage,
they gave thirty street children twenty thousand rupiahs
each. Early this month they went to some poor families in the
neighbourhood and gave each family a gift containing sugar,

The roads are not safe now because many
people do not drive carefully. They drive too
fast. Many pedestrians get accidents because
they do not cross the road carefully or because
they walk too close to the tra!c.
In big cities there are tra!c jams everywhere
because there are too many motor vehicles on
the roads. It takes longer to go from one place
to another now because there are tra!c jams
everywhere.
I walk to school, because walking is healthy.
Sometimes I go to school on my bicycle too.
My father is rarely sick because he goes to his
o!ce by bike.
My father also rides on his bicycle to work,
because he wants to save the environment.
Because he does not go to o!ce by
motorcycle, he also helps to save the energy
and keep the air clean.

Now I will read out to you a folktale
from Vietnam. The title is The Golden
Star-Fruit Tree.
Close the book, and follow the story
actively.
THE GOLDEN STAR-FRUIT TREE
A long time ago there was a rich old man living in Vietnam. He
had two sons. They had very di!erent attitudes. The older brother
was very greedy, and the younger brother was very kind. When
the old man died, the brothers divided his father’s wealth into two
parts. The big brother took almost everything. He gave his younger
brother only a small piece of land, with a star-fruit tree in front of
it. The younger brother did not mind. From then on he lived there
and made his living only by selling star fruits from the tree.
Unfortunately, a very big raven often came and ate all the ripe
fruits. At "rst he was too afraid of the raven, and did not know what
to do. But one day he dared to approach the raven. He begged to it
not to eat the fruits. “If you eat the fruits, I will have nothing to sell
to the market, and my family will starve.”
Surprisingly the raven was not angry. He replied, “I need the fruits
too. Can I have them and I’ll pay you with gold. Bring a 1-meter
long bag, and I’ll bring to a place full of gold and you can "ll the

bag full with gold.” The younger brother then told his wife to make
a 1-meter long bag. When the bag was done, he climbed on the
raven’s back and they !ew to a place full of gold. He "lled the bag
full with gold, and then !ied back home on the raven’s back. From
then on, the younger brother and his family could live happily in
luxury.
On the commemoration of his father’s death, he invited his older
brother to come to his house. Thinking that his brother had a poor
house, the big brother refused to come. But because his younger
brother insisted, he and his wife "nally decided to come. When
they got to the younger brother’s house, they were surprised to
see that he was now very rich.
He asked his younger brother how he had got all his wealth, and
the younger brother was happy to tell him the truth. Then the
greedy brother and his wife o#ered the younger brother to trade
all their fortune for the star-fruit tree. The younger brother gladly
accepted the o#er. Soon the older brother and his family moved
to the house with the star-fruit tree. When the raven came for the
star fruits, the older brother made the same plea. As expected, the
raven told him to bring a 1-meter long bag.
Because he was greedy, he asked his wife to make a much longer
bag. When the bag was done, he climbed on the raven’s back and
then they !ew to the place full of gold. He "lled the big bag with
gold. He also brought some gold in his pockets. On the way home,
the load soon became too heavy for the raven. Unable to hang
on, the raven swayed, and the greedy brother fell straight down
to the sea with his bag and pockets full of gold. He sank very fast
down the sea. The older brother "nally died. He died because of
his greed.

Take turns. Correct any mistakes you hear.

a. The !rst part sets the scene and
introduces the characters.
b. In the second part main character(s)
face(s) a problem.
c. In the third part, the problem(s) is/are
resolved, for better or for worse.
A folktale with one or two characters and with a
simple problem is usually short. But with more
characters and more complex problems the
structure is more complex.
In your group, identify the parts where the
characters in Sangkuriang and in The golden
Start-Fruit Tree are introduced.

Rock
Rocks are very hard materials. Some rocks contain metals.
They are called ores. Others contain fossils of animals or plants
that dies millions of years ago. Many rocks contain crystals. A few
rock crystals, such as diamond, are extremely valuable because
they are very rare. These crystals are called gems. Some rocks,
such as sandstone, are made when mud or grains of sand are
slowly squashed together.

Fabric
Fabrics are used around the house to make clothes,
curtains, towels and furniture coverings. Fabrics such as cotton,
linen, wool and silk are made from natural !bres, which come
from plants and animals. Fabrics can also be made of plastic,
or a mixture of plastic and natural !bres. Fabrics have di"erent
properties. For example, some are tough, while others wear away
quickly.

Chicken
Chickens are kept as farm animals all over the world. They
are related to wild birds that were tamed by humans over 4,000
years ago. Chickens can #y for short distances, but they prefer to
walk or run.
Farmyard chickens eat seeds and small insects. They will also
peck grain that is sprinkled on the ground. On some big farms,
however, hens are fed on special food and kept in small cages.
Male chickens are called cockerels and have large crests on their
heads and a ru" of long feathers round their necks. They often
make a loud crow, especially at daybreak. Female chickens are
called hens. They are smaller and less colourful than coskerels.
Hens are kept for both their meat and their eggs.

Female cattle that are reared for their milk are called dairy cows.
Twice a day they are brought in from the !elds to be milked.
Special machines suck the milk from the cow’s udder.
Although they are not clever animals, cattle are very strong. In

Bu!alo are big, strong, dark-coloured mammals with huge horns.
African bu!alo live in herds of several hundred – usually near
water, as they love to wallow in mud. African bu!alo have very
bad tempers, so humans have never managed to tame them.
Water bu!alo are found in the wetter areas of Asia. Few are found
in the wild now and they are mostly kept as farm animals. Water
bu!alo have been domesticated for 3,000 years. They are used to
pull carts and ploughs, but they can be kept for their meat, milk,
and hides. Only a few survive in the wild in Asia, but bu!alo are
released to run free in the swamps of the Northern Territory of
Australia.

Bat
Bats have big ears, furry bodies and wings like leather. They are
nocturnal mammals. This means they sleep in caves and atticks
during the day and !y out to feed at night-time.
Bats are the only mammals that can !y. They are very fast and
acrobatic. When they chase after insects, they twist and turn in
mid-air. Bats use sound to catch insects in the darkness. They send
out high-pitched squeals that humans cannot hear. The echoes
that bounce back tell the bats exactly where they will "nd their

Flying foxes, or fruit bats, are large bats that live in tropical Africa
and Asia. They mainly eat fruit. Flying foxes are important because
they help to spread the pollen and seeds of many plants.

Dragon!ies are the fastest !ying insects. They swoop over
the streams and ponds up to 90 kilometres per hour. Damsel!y
have longer, thinner bodies and are more delicate, with a
slow, !uttering !ight. The wings of the damsel!y are almost
transparent. They shimmer as the damsel!y searches for small

Dragon!ies and damsel!ies live near water. They lay their

come out of the eggs. They feed on other water creatures, and

Grasshopper
Grasshoppers are insects that prefer to hop on their
long back legs rather than !y. Males ‘sing’ to attract mates –
grasshoppers do this by rubbing their back legs together.
Grasshoppers have very strong muscles in their long back legs
and an amazing spring in their knees. The grasshopper can jump
12 times its own length – this would be like a child jumping over a
house!

Fish
Fish live in saltwater and freshwater all over the world.
They come in many di#erent shapes and sizes, but most are
covered in scales and have strong $ns for swimming. A $sh’s scales
all lie in the same direction to help the $sh slip through water.
Like us, $sh need oxygen to live. But instead of breathing
air, they absorb the oxygen in water. Water enters the mouth and
is swept over the gills. The oxygen passes from the water into tiny
blood vessels in the gills.
Fish often swim in groups called shoals. One reason
they do this is for protection. Many $sh together can confuse a
predator. This makes it hard for the predator to single out a $sh.

Now you will read a long text about nonliving objects, materials.
Let’s read the text together. First, listen to me
carefully.
Then, repeat after me. Say the sentences
loudly, clearly, and correctly.
Materials
Our world is made up of many di!erent materials. Metals
come from rocks. Wood comes from trees. Plastics and glass are
made in factories. Ceramics are made of mud and clay. Most
fabrics are made of parts of plants or animals. We use all these
materials to build our homes and to make the things we use
every day.
A material that soaks up water well is said to be absorbent.
A material that resists water is said to be waterproof. Tissues are
made of a special absorbent paper.
Some materials, such as metal, feel cold when you touch
them because they draw the heat from your hand. They are said
to be good thermal conductors. Other materials, such as wood,
feel warm to the touch. They do not draw heat from your hand
and are said to be good thermal insulators.

Sponge
There are di!erent types of sponges. Some sponges are
natural and come from animals that live in warm seas. Most
sponges found in the house are made of rubber. Sponge absorbs
water well. Water is held in tiny holes inside a sponge. It will only
come out when the sponge is squeezed. The best sponges mop
up lots of water.
Fabric
There are di!erent kind of fabrics. Fabrics such as cotton,
linen, wool and silk are made of natural "bres, which come
from plants and animals. Fabrics can also be made of plastic,
or a mixture of plastic and natural "bres. Fabrics have di!erent
properties. For example, some are tough, while others wear away
quickly. Fabrics are used around the house to make clothes,
curtains, towels and furniture coverings.

Wood
Wood is a natural material. It comes from the trunks and
branches of trees. Di!erent trees produce di!erent kinds of
wood. Some woods, such as oak, are very hard. Others, such as
blasa, are very soft. Most woods are light enough to "oat but
some, such as ebony, sink. Wood has a distinctive smell. When
you hit it with a hammer, it has a distinctive sound.
Some woods, such as ebony, are so hard that it is almost
impossible to saw or knock a nail into them. Balsa wood is so
soft you can easily break it with your #ngers. Di!erent woods are
chosen to make di!erent types of furniture, depending on how
strong the furniture needs to be.

Family
A family is a group of people who live together in
the same house. A complete family consists of parents and
one or more children. It is called a nuclear family. In many
countries, a family can be extended to include relatives such as
grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces living
together under the same house. This big family is called an
extended family. The members of a family share the housework
and take care of each other. With the family we feel safe and
happy. To go home means to return to our family in order have
a rest, to watch TV, to eat together, and to share happiness and
sadness with each other. With our family we grow up to be
healthy and useful individuals.
Neighbourhood
A neighbourhood is a social community within a city,
town, or village. A neighbourhood is made up of families who
live near each other as neighbours. There is a lot of face-to-face
interaction among them. Neighbourhoods have many bene!ts
for the members. A strong and closely related neighbourhood
is a safe environment for the children to grow up. Mothers and
girls can also learn certain skills, like cooking and knitting from
each other, with little or no money. There are many enjoyable
neighbourhood activities, too, like sports and celebrations.
Neighbourhoods also protect the families from crimes.
