My New Year Holiday

Last New Year holiday, my parents and I went for a vacation around central Java. We spent several days there. Before visiting many resorts and tourism places around Central Java province, we visited my grandfather and my mother’s relatives. Because of traffic jam, it took 12 hours to reach there with my grandfather’s car.

We saw beautiful rice farms, lakes, big rivers, and forests on the way there. I enjoyed it so much. When we reached our destination, many villagers welcomed us. All families and relatives were busy cooking special favorite food for us. After that, we ate together in the large hall of my grandfather’s house.

On the second day, we went to Prambanan Temple. It was not far from my grandfather’s home. We went there at 6 a.m and arrived at 9 a.m. I adored seeing one of the greatest building in the world with amazing ancient architecture.

After being satisfied walking around Prambanan, we went to the nearest hotel to rest. The following day, we went back home. I really enjoyed my New Year holiday with my parents.

I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say so? Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books, magazine, newspaper, etc.

Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in any parts of the world which can we see directly.

Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment coloumn such as comedy, short story, quiz, etC. To make us relaxeD.

The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the worlD. By reading a book about Irian Jaya we may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.

From the facts above, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, information and also entertainment. Or in summary we can say reading is truly important in our lifE.

Although gluten has gained a bad reputation, the majority of people would struggle to explain what it actually is. The truth is that gluten is just a mixture of proteins found in the seeds of certain cereal plants, such as wheat, rye and barley, Gluten is stored in a tissue inside the seed called the endosperm, which surrounds the plant embryo and provides a dense source of energy as the plant starts to grow. In wheat, gluten is formed when the proteins glutenin and gladin Cross-link into a net-like structure that provides elasticity and viscosity.

Once food reaches the stomach it must be broken down by enzymes in the process of digestion. Large proteins are broken up into chains of amino acids called peptides. Normally these peptides are easily broken down further, however, the gliadin peptides in gluten are difficult to break down as they are part of a group of peptides called prolamins. Prolamins are made up of lots of glutamine and proline amino acids, which digestive enzymes have difficulty breaking up. This means that unlike most proteins gluten digestion can leave strands of amino acids intact in the small intestine. These strands can be up to 10 amino acids long and are known as oligopeptides. For the majority of people gliadin oligopep tides are harmless, however, a small proportion of the population will produce an immune response known as coeliac disease.

What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?

• to evaluate a gluten diet

• to provide the readers with fact about gluten

• to persuade the readers to reduce their gluten consumption
