Exam Recount text

On Wednesday, my best friends and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at the Tentrem Hotel located not far from Malioboro. On Thursday, we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. On Friday night we went to Malioboro. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky because there are lots of promotions for visitors such as discounts for batik and handcrafted bags, free testers for bakpia, and so on. I bought new clothes for my sister and a bag for my mom with big discount. After that we left for Jakarta by train.

Last week, my friend and I rode our bikes to the beach. It was only five kilometers from our houses. It was quite windy and there was hardly anyone there. It surprised us because there were always many people coming there on the weekends. So, we had the beach on our own. We bought some hot chips, rode our bikes, played in the water and satunder the trees. We really had a great time.
