Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest(Adventure, 151 minutes)

Starring: Johnny Deep, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Bill Nighy.Directed by: Gore Verbinski Released by: Walt Disney Pictures.

       In this sequel to the 2003 highly successful film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, you can see everyone’s favorite scoundrel, Captain Jack Sparrow (the brilliant Johnny Deep) trying to weasel out of paying a blood debt owed to the mythical Davy Jones, the captain of the otherworldly ship The Flying Dutchman.

       Time is being his biggest enemy, and Sparrow pulls every trick he knows to find a way to escape the 100 years of servitude owed to Davy Jones. His old friends, Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightly) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), are once again sucked into Sparrow’s misadventures.
     The success of the first sequel relied on the simple thrill ride charm of a classic swashbuckler. Unfortunately, this second sequel overextends that charm without adding anything new other than a long, contrived and rather an unnecessary plot twist.
       The only true pleasurable aspect of this film is Depp’s reprise of Sparrow, which never fails to generate laughs. Without Depp, this film would have simply drowned in an ocean of redundancy.

Damaged roads

       The number of damaged roads linking Jakarta with West Java has certainly provoked complaints from locals and road users. Take, for example, the roads in Bekasi and Tangerang, which have been a focus on the media.
       The poor condition of these roads not only jeopardizes road safety but also gives a squalid impression. Moreover, the condition will get worse when it rains. The roads are transformed into water pools or puddles, which can easily cause accidents if motorists are not careful.
       No wonder if some people question why there are so many damaged roads and why repairs do not seem to last long. The government should pay special attention to these problems.
       In my opinion, the roads should be repaired using the right sort of asphalt, stones, and sands. Repairs should be done carefully so that the roads can be prevented from constants damaged. Otherwise, the repairs would be useless.
4. “The damaged roads linking Jakarta with West Java …”In other words, we can also say …
a. The roads that link Jakarta with West Java are damaged
b. The linking roads damaged Jakarta and West Java
c. The linking Jakarta and West Java are damaged roads
d. Jakarta links the damaged roads with West Java
e. West Java links the damaged roads with Jakarta

How is Dust Useful to Us?


       Most people think that dust is very harmful to us. But this is not true. Dust is, in fact, very useful, and therefore, it is essential to know what dust is and how it is formed.

      Every solid substance is composed of very small particles. For example, if we go on breaking a brick or a stone into small pieces, it will turn into small particles. The air then carries dust particles from one place to another.
       There are different ways by which dust is formed. When solid substance breaks, dust is formed. Smoke generated by the burning of coal, wood, petrol, etc. also produces dust. Dust particles also come from dead plants, sea salt, desert, volcanic sand, etc. The particles of the earth’s surface also fly in the air in the form of dust.
       The biggest use of the dust particles is that they help in the formation of the rains. The water vapors in the clouds condense on the dust particles in the form of water-drops. These drops fall on the earth as rain. Likewise, mist, fog, etc. are also formed due to the presence of dust particles.
1. How can dust move from one place to another?
a. Smoke carries it
b. Smoke generates it
c. It carries the air
d. It goes on breaking
e. The air carries it
2. Which of the following statements is true?
a. Dust particles are the most useful
b. The presence of dust particles can delay the rain
c. Rain drops do not contain dust particles
d. Dust particles help the formation of the rain
e. Dust particles are formed as soon as the sun sets
