Excerpt: The Picture of Dorian Gray (adapted)

The room was filled with a strange silence, as though the air itself was waiting. Dorian stood before the portrait, unable to look away. The face in the painting had changed again — the expression was more cruel, more knowing, as if it had learned secrets no human should understand.

He felt a cold shiver pass through him, though the fire behind him burned brightly. How could something so still feel so alive? The eyes of the portrait seemed to follow him, accusing him without words.

Dorian stepped back, his hand trembling. “It is not I,” he whispered, though the room offered no answer. Only the painted face remained, silent and unchanging in its terrible truth.

A. LET'S READ!

Read the fable below carefully. (Bacalah fabel berikut dengan saksama.)

The Rabbit and the Turtle

Once upon a time, there was a rabbit. He was very proud of himself because he could run very fast. He often laughed at other animals because they walked slowly. One day, the rabbit met a turtle. The turtle walked very, very slowly.

"Hey, Turtle! You are so slow!" said the rabbit, laughing.

The turtle felt angry but he stayed calm. "Why don't we have a race, Rabbit? Let's see who is faster," said the turtle.

The rabbit laughed even harder. "You? Race with me? That's funny! But okay, let's race."

The race began. The rabbit ran very fast and left the turtle far behind. The rabbit thought, "The turtle is so slow. I have plenty of time. I can take a nap." So the rabbit slept under a big tree.

Meanwhile, the turtle kept walking. He did not stop. He walked slowly but step by step, he got closer to the finish line.

When the rabbit woke up, he ran as fast as he could. But it was too late. The turtle had already crossed the finish line. The turtle won the race.

The rabbit felt very ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Turtle. I laughed at you. Now I understand that being fast is not everything."

The turtle smiled and said, "It's okay, Rabbit. Slow and steady wins the race."

Moral value: Don't underestimate others. Keep trying and never give up.

Writing Task: Speculating About Two Pictures

Instructions

Look at the two pictures provided. In your writing, speculate about what might have happened in the scenes using past modals (e.g., "might have," "could have," "must have") and include gerunds and infinitives appropriately.

Task

Write two paragraphs, each approximately 100 words.

1. In the first paragraph, describe the first picture and speculate about the events leading up to it. Use past modals to express possibilities or assumptions (e.g., "They might have been preparing for a celebration"). Incorporate gerunds and infinitives to describe actions or intentions (e.g., "They seemed to enjoy decorating the space").

2. In the second paragraph, focus on the second picture. Compare it to the first and speculate about what might have changed or happened afterward. Use past modals to suggest outcomes (e.g., "It must have been a successful event"). Include gerunds and infinitives to describe ongoing or intended actions (e.g., "They appeared to be cleaning up after the party").

Be creative and detailed in your writing!
