1. Reading Comprehension

Kemampuan memahami teks bacaan sangat penting dalam bahasa Inggris. Bagian ini akan menguji kemampuan siswa dalam memahami isi teks, mengidentifikasi informasi penting, dan menjawab pertanyaan berdasarkan teks.

Teks 1: Narrative Text

Once upon a time, there lived a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her stepmother and two stepsisters. They were very cruel to Cinderella. They made her do all the housework, such as cleaning, cooking, and washing clothes. One day, there was a ball at the palace. All the young ladies in the kingdom were invited, including Cinderella’s stepsisters. Cinderella wanted to go to the ball, but her stepmother forbade her. She said that Cinderella was too dirty and ugly to attend the ball.

Cinderella was very sad. She went to the garden and cried. Suddenly, a fairy godmother appeared. She asked Cinderella why she was crying. Cinderella told her about her wish to go to the ball. The fairy godmother smiled and said that she could help. She waved her magic wand and transformed Cinderella’s rags into a beautiful gown. She also gave Cinderella a pair of glass slippers. Then, she summoned a carriage and horses.

Cinderella went to the ball and danced with the prince. The prince was enchanted by her beauty. They danced all night long. Before midnight, Cinderella remembered her fairy godmother’s warning. She had to leave the ball before the magic wore off. She ran out of the palace, leaving behind one of her glass slippers. The prince was heartbroken. He searched everywhere for the girl who had captured his heart.
