SMA Bahasa Inggris: Pertanyaan, Jawaban, Latihan Soal & Pembahasan

There is one type of chickens which appears different from the other chicken. These are called frizzles. Let's see what they are.

Frizzling is where the feathers start to curl upward and outward from the body, instead of lying flat against the body as in a normal hen. The shaft of the feather starts to twist and curl causing the unique apperance of the feathers.

Frizzling is caused by an incomplete dominant gene. One copy of gene present in one bird is sufficient to cause frizzling. A copy present in both parent bird will result in a high incidence of frazzies. Responsible breeders do not breed frizzle to frizzle. This would give you frazzle or curly chicks. The acceptable practice is to breed frizzled chicks. Frazzles are extremely delicate. The feathers can be so brittle that they break at a touch, feathering can be patchy or even near total baldness can result.

Frizzles do need some special treatment because of their feathering. Since they cannot fly, they should have perches set lower down so that they can access them, otherwise they may 'pile up' together on the bedding. If you decide to free range them, the area should be predator proof as they cannot fly up and away from danger.

In extreme cold they should be carefully monitored as the feathering does not insulate as well as regular feathers do. In fact, any inclement weather-heat, cold, rain-is all a bit of a challenge for frizzles. The feathers do a poor job of keeping the chicken at a constant body temperature, so care should be taken to ensure their well-being.

I'm Silvia. I joined an archery class when I was at elemary shcool. I practiced every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. It was hard. Besides, I didn't have much time to play with my friends.

At first, I just wanted to play sports that not many kids like to do it. I practiced hard and my skills improved fast. My coach and parents were happy.

It was November 2015 when I attended an archery competition for the fist time. My coach and parents motivated and supported me to do my best. They gave me high objective in the competition. I practiced the whole week because I didn't want to disappoint them.

On the D-day, I prayed to God and stepped on the arena with confidence. I was sure that the best way to succeed was defeating my fear of losing the competition. Then, I stood firmly and held the bow and the arrow strongly. I took a deep breath, pulled the bow, watched the target clearly, and released the arrow. At last, I finished the competition as the bronze medallist. It was an amazing achievement for a new comer. Everyone congratulated me, including my teachers and schoolmates.
