I have got an unforgettable experience last Lebaran Day. My family and I went to my mother’s hometown to celebrate “Idul Fitri”. We went by aeroplane. At the airport, my family and I had to walk through the metal detector. When I got the turn to walk through it, suddenly the alarm beeped. The woman who worked as the airport security said, “Come here, you need to get your belt off”. I took my belt off, but the alarm still beeped. The security asked me to take my wallet from my pocket. I did what she ordered. Still alarm beeped.

After that the security asked me to turn back and she checked my body. She touched my left pocket. Then she told me, “There was something in it. it might be the things that made the alarm beeped”. I took out something from the left pocket. The woman laughed and said, “That has made the alarm beep”. It was a silver pen. I felt embarrassed because everybody stared at me with curiosity.

• a. The writer and his family walked through metal detector

• b. The writer’s silver pen made the metal detector beeped

• c. The security checked the writer’s pockets

• d. Everybody stared at the writer

Last Sunday, I was gardening with my father. It was half past six in the morning. The air was really fresh. My dad called me from the yard. He said something about ‘banana’. I walked to where he stood looking at one of my banana tress. I saw som of them are already yellow. What a great view!

Next, we were busy to harvest the bananas it was my first time to do this. We just moved to this new house for about six months. Here, we have some yard besides the house with banana and guava trees.

After that I watered the vertical garden and pulled off the wild grass. I also collected the old leaves and realized that the yard looked nicer and cleaner after that.

Finally, I picked 2 ripe guavas. Hmm, they smelt nice. I took a shower and had breakfast with my parents right after that. It was a fine Sunday morning. I felt a stronger bond by doing the gardening with my father.

Last holiday, I was in Mexico City with my Dad. It was a fascinating place and the people were friendly. The most amazing thing happened to me when I was looking for the Paseo de la Reforma. It is a street with beautiful trees, plants and statues. I was nearly lost and studying my map when I saw a man with colourful and unusual clothes in front of the cathedral. So I asked him, “Can you tell me where the Paseo de la Reforma is?” he smiled and answered, “It is only two blocks away from here.”

I thought I took the wrong street because I didn’t find the Paseo de la Reforma. Just when I was thinking about going back to my hotel, the man appeared again and showed me the way. As I was walking down the street, I saw the statue of Cuauhtemoc, the last Aztec leader. I was going to take the photo of it when I realized something unusual. The statue looked exactly like the man I saw in front of the cathedral! He was wearing the same clothes. Even his grin was similar.

What do you think about this? Do you think I am crazy?
