Remedial Mid Test Grade 8 KD 3.8

Hi, my name is Luna Ariesta. School holidays are about to come. I usually spend my holidays with my family. But this time will be different. I am going to join one adventure holiday in Bali with my cousins and other teenagers. Here are the arrangements.

It’s a camping holiday for two weeks in Bali. I am leaving on Sunday, July 30. Then, I am going home on Sunday, August 13. On the first day, we are putting on backpacks then hiking to Mount Batur. It is the second highest point of Bali with 1.717 meters above sea level. We’re setting up our tents at 1.500 meters. Then we’re enjoying stunning sunset at peak of the mount.

Next day, we are going down and enjoying beautiful view with amazing sunrise. Finally, we’re visiting Batur Natural Hot Spring to relax and recharge our mind at the natural hot spring.

Then, the organizers are providing other adventure activities like paint battles, flying fox, trekking through forest and being close to nature. On other days, we’re meeting a Balinese family. We’re helping them to plant fruit and vegetables. They say the locals are kind and friendly.

After enjoying nature in a week, we are having water activities in Tanjung Benoa Beach. Yay, finally we’re going to the beach. They’re providing many water activities and we’re joining four water activities; they are Parasailing Adventure, Jet Ski, Banana Boat, and Diving. Our experience and knowledge about life under water will be upgraded soon.

On the next day, we’re learning about Balinese culture. We’re visiting some temples and interacting with Balinese people. The culture is one of the big reasons why tourists love visiting Bali. I’m very excited and can’t wait to be there soon.

• To tell about the upcoming holiday plan

My name is Peter. I live in the suburbs of Boston with my family. Most people believe we are rich because we live in a big house. But our family seems to be like any other one. Have a look: Maggie, my wife, likes cooking. She enjoys being in the kitchen with her friends.
