Most people are afraid to break rules. However, others believe that rules are meant to
be broken. What about you ?
Rules are used for telling someone that they have to obey a rule even if they do not want
to. The problem with a rigid approach to rules is that it divides people, either you are a
conformist or a lebel. I think not all rules are equal. Some were created to control people, and
some wer created for people’s safety. I think people choose to break the rules that limit them,
not just because they don’t like the rules. Breaking rules is like cheating. Behavioral scientists
found a correlation between dishonesty and creativity. People with the most creative jobs or
mindsets are more likely to break the rules. The more creative one is, the easier it is to tell
the story in a way that justifies breaking the rules. There’s an emotional upside, too- people
who break the rules fell smarter than the rest. Maybe because they are not conforming. They
are also liberated – getting rid of rules allows their brains to think freely and let their creative
juices flow without limitations.
In my opinion, rules are for everyone and everyone should follow them. Break the
rules, but consider the consequences on the rest, not only on you.

13. What is the text about ?

A. The definition of rules
B. Why people break rules
C. How to create rules

A. Behavioral scientists
B. Peope with the most creative jobs
C. Innocent people
D. People with high temper
E. Genius people

16. “Maybe because they are not conforming.”

The underlined word can be replaced with ....
A. Rebelling
B. Annoying
C. Liberating
D. Flouting
E. Obeying

that are located in Africa, Asia, and South America. Rich countries should be responsible for
providing the basic needs of poor countries, such as food and education. It is reported that

Dear Andhita,

Your presentation was very impressive yesterday. The topic you delivered was very
interesting and more powerful because of your effective visuals. It was much better than your
previous presentations.
However, I would like to suggest one thing. A few of your jokes were inappropriate
because they possibly offended some of the audience. Your audience was from various

Best regards,

Julia Saptani
