Pink Beach

Pink Beach or Pantai Merah Muda is one of the beaches in Komodo Island, East Nusa Tenggara. The beach is called Pink Beach because the sand beach is pink. The pink color of its beach is a mixture of white sand beach colors mixed with crushed coral, shells, calcium carbonate from marine invertebrates that are very small, and also Foraminifera, microscopic amoeba that has a red body shell.

At Pink Beach, there are so many marine organisms. No fewer than 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and 70 species of sponge can be found here. Having so much marine life, this place is a proper spot for snorkeling and diving for sea sports lovers.

Lazy Day

Last weekend I spent all day laying on my bed. It was just like the Lazy Song by Bruno Mars, “Today I don’t feel like doing anything”. But sometimes doing nothing was just something that we needed the most, especially after a long and exhausted week in the office.

It was Sunday and I woke up at 9 a.m in the morning. I looked around me and I saw a new comic book that I just bought yesterday laying next to my laptop. I tried to drag it closer to me by using my foot, and then I picked it with my hand. I unwrapped the comic and started reading it. When I just reached the middle of the story, I felt thirsty so I got up of my super comfortable bed and walked out the room. I walked down the stairs right to the kitchen.

I opened the fridge and I found a bottle full of chill orange juice. I opened the bottle and poured the orange juice into a glass. When I checked my fridge, I saw that I still had a leftover Pizza from yesterday, so I decided to reheat it in my microwave. So I sat in the kitchen for a while waiting the Pizza to be ready. When the timer of the microwave was off, I picked the Pizza up and put it on my plate. I took my orange juice and my Pizza and brought them back into my lair. I enjoyed the Pizza and the orange juice and continued to read my comic book. After that I decided to watch my favorite K-drama on my laptop, so I set my portable laptop desk on my bed. This way, I could watch my favourite show without having to leave my super cozy bed.

Which of the following statement is correct based on the text?

• The writer watched the movie in the living room.

• The writer woke up at 9 p.m in the evening.

• The writer poured the mango juice into a glass.

• The writer picked the pizza up from the microwave.

Read the following text for this questions!

I really enjoyed my holiday in Australia. Last Sunday I visited a marine park called Sea World which was at surfers’ Paradise near Brisbane. It’s Australia’s largest marine park and I had a wonderful day there.

The first thing I saw was the Oceanorium where you could watch all sorts of sea fish and animal under water. There were huge turtles, sharks, and a beautiful tropical sea fish. The most exciting thing was watching a man feeding the sharks. He wore a special diving suit. Then I watched the performance of sea animals. The saw was in a big outdoor swimming pool. There were killer whales, dolphins and sea lions, and they did all sort of fantastic things in the water. One of the girls in the show rode around the pool on the back of killing whale, and another girl rode underwater on the back of a big turtle. After the saw I had lunch. There were several big restaurants in the park and I had lunch in a restaurant that was shape like a ship! Then I watched a wonderful water skiing show which was held on a lake.

There were lots of other things to do at the park. There was lake cruising, a train ride, a big water slide, swimming pools, and an incredible roller coaster called the ‘corkscrew’- because it went three loops upside down. But I wish I had gone on the roller coaster ride before lunch rather than after it!

Once upon a time there was a farmer who owned a little dog that he keeps constantly by his side and a donkey, which lived in a warm stable and got plenty of fresh grain and sweet hay. But, unfortunately the donkey was not satisfied with his condition.

"I slave all day long, hauling wood or pulling the cart to market while the dog sleeps on the master's lap and eats from his plate!," the donkey grumbled. "Perhaps, he thought, if he behaved like the dog, his master would reward him with the same life of ease.

That very night, the donkey crept out of the stable and into the house where the farmer sat at supper. "First I'll frisk about and chase my tail, just as the dog does," thought the donkey. And he danced about the room, flinging up his hooves until the table toppled over and dishes went flying.

"Now I'll sit on his lap!" said the donkey, and he put his hooves up on the master's chair.

"Help! Save me from this mad beast!" the terrified farmer bellowed. Then his servants came running and, with shouts and blows, drove the donkey back to the stable.

"I suppose I' m a fine donkey, "the donkey lamented," but I'll never be a lapdog!"
