Arguments

    Sometimes the winner is not guaranteed to be a good singer because the score comes from the audiences and the supporters' SMS and they do not consider the jury's comments on the singer. They would prefer focusing on the finalist's physical appearance and personality rather than the singing quality.

    After the contest is over, few of the winners get a chance to be professional stars. Why is that? Because they don't have the great skills to be professional stars. Furthermore, most of them have little experience in the entertainment business. Being a professional star needs long effort and time. It can't be realised just in one night.

Recommendation

    I feel that the committee should consider the winner not from their popularity through SMS, instead from their singing quality.

Read the text and answer the following question.

 
  We all know that rain is primary source of fresh water for most areas of the world, providing suitable condition for diverse ecosystems. Rain is water that descends from the sky through several processes until the rain occurs. Do you know how does rain happen?

    The phenomenon of rain is actually a water circle. The concept of water circle includes the sun heating and the Earth's water surface causing the water surface to evaporate. Earth's water includes water from lake, river, and ocean. Then, the water vapor experiences condensation and becomes condensed vapor. Condensed vapor is formed from droplets so that when the air temperature is higher, it makes the droplets gather, condensed and formed into clouds. The presence of winds helps clouds move and gather in other places that have lower temperatures. At that time, the droplets become heavier and unstoppable and cause the droplets to fall so that there is rain.

    If the droplets drop in an area with very cold temperatures, the droplets will drop as snow. However, not all rain reaches the surface. Some evaporates while falling through dry air. This is called Virga, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert regions.
