Text is for question number 10 Kapoposang Kapoposang is one of the largest of the Spermonde Islands, around 70 km northwest of Makassar, South Sulawesi. Kapoposang covers an area of around 50,000 hectares and is inhabited by around 100 families. Several other islands, both inhabited and uninhabited, lie near Kapoposang. The larger ones include Papandangan, Kondongbali, Suranti and Tambakulu. Kapoposang and the nearby islands were declared a Nature Tourism Park by the Department of Forestry in 1999. Diving has been an important activity at Kapoposang since the mid 1990s. There were so few local divers at the time, and because of the distance from other well-known diving areas in Indonesia, Kapoposang has basically remained a secret. The best time to visit Kapoposang is between April and November, when the seas are calm, the weather favorable, and the wind less fierce than in the other months. The trip takes two hours by speedboat; the ocean breezes help to cool your skin in the hot morning sun. As you approach Pulau Kapoposang, you see the deep blue water, which suddenly meets an expanse of coral reefs between extensive shallows with white sands in the seabed. Sea grass also grows lushly near the shore. The sea bed at Kapoposang has a unique composition; near the island are some quite shallow contours, and then suddenly steep underwater cliffs leading to seemingly endless depths. The water is very clear; you can expect underwater visibility of over 15 meters – ideal conditions for divers. The text is about ....

Before I had a bicycle, I went to school with my father by motorcycle. He dropped me to school before he went to work. When I saw my friends going to school by bicycle, I felt evious of them. They were riding their bicycle while chitchatting and enjoying the serenity of villages and rice fields. Then, I asked for a bicycle to my parents, but they didn’t have much money.

Text is for question number 21 The Sherlock Holmes Museum My friend and I didn’t even know that this quaint little museum existed but after dodging the dreaded Madame Tussauds’ queue, we looked up where else we could go in the area. In comparison, the queue to Sherlock Holmes Museum was long but moved very quickly and we were soon inside the warm, Georgian house, for only £8. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John H. Watson lived at 221b Baker Street in 1881-1904, according to the stories. The house is protected by the government due to its “special architectural and historical interest”, while the 1st floor study overlooking Baker Street is still faithfully maintained for posterity as it was kept in Victorian Times. The museum is fun for old and young alike. It is decorated as it is described in the books and you can really imagine the old detective puzzling mysteries over his pipe. Within each room they have props you can pose with and wax models representing victims and villains from the books including the notorious Moriarty. The part of the museum that my friend and I particularly enjoyed was a book of all the letters posted to the address throughout the years: from children requesting the great detective to solve their mysteries to adults expressing their love for the novels. The book is full of some great treats including adults who genuinely believe the character to be real and have shown their appreciation for his services to the community. After your journey around the Georgian town house, you can visit the gift shop next door and indulge yourself with a magnifying glass or a flat cap. It is an enjoyable experience. Make the most of our city and its literary culture. Where is the museum located?

It is inside the Madame Tussauds.

Phubbing was first coined as a term im May 2012. An Australian advertising agency created this word to describe the growing of phenomenon of people ignoring their friends and family who were right in front of them and instead of scrolling through their phones. One study found that more than 17 percent of people phub others at least four hour times a day. Almost 32 percent of people report being phubbed two to three times a day. While the behaviour might not seem like a big deal, research suggests phubbing may be hurting your relationships and your mental health. Read on to learn more. Phubbing interupts your ability to be present and engage with people around you. Today, almost all people own a smartphone, so the phubbing problem may be getting worse. Besides that, the effect of phubbing may be worse on people who found themselves at the receiving end of the phubbing. When someone phubs you, you may feel rejected, excluded, and not important. That can have a significant impact on mental health. Research also shows that people who are phubbed are more likely to reach for their phones and try to engage with their social media network to fill that void. This is the start of a vicious cycle. Above all, phubbing is a learned behaviour. It only reecently becomes a problem and you can unlearn it. It will take time and some work, but your mental health and your relationship will thank you for it. (Adopted from: https// www.healthline.com/health/phubbing#takeaaway/7th November 2019) Why can phubbing break the relationship?

A person may feel rejected/repudiated.

People have different opinions.

People have enough time to stay alone.

People have a limited time for a chitchat.

Text is for question number 47 Baker Street 2208 London August 21st 2023 Dear Irene It is good to know that you’re doing well. Thanks for sharing the story your last time in Norway. I found it really impressive. I’m glad you had a good time. Your story made me want to add that country to my bucket list. As we’re on the topic of vacations, I also wanted to share about how I ended up going to Italy. I told you earlier this year that I was going to visit my grandparents in Scotland just like any other year. However, it turned out that my grangparents were going on trip with their friends from the senior community. Therefore I cancelled my trip at the last minute. Before the trip, I already freed up my schedule, as I did not just want to stay in London alone. I thought it would be fun to visit Italy as I had never been there before. I arranged everything in a hurry and made it to Italy at last. The first place on my list was none other than The Learning Tower of Pisa. I know it is common tourist place, but I’ve always wanted to see it for myself. It was indeed fascinating how the tower was actually learning. I walked around the complex and took a lot of pictures before I headed to another place. I spent two days in Rome and Milan. Then I travelled quite far from the city, to the Northeastern part of the country. Venice was so much beautiful than I expected. All the canals and the bridges looked like something from a painting. The views were marvellous and breath-taking. I also took a gondola ride which would actually have been so much better If I were not alone. I cannot wait to come back and bring you with me. Well, that’s all for now. I hope you’re having a wonderful day! Love, Sonia Why did the writer fail to meet his grandparents?

Because they were on trip with friends.

Because they cancelled their trip.

Because they were not in London.

Because they went to Italy together.

Because they were visiting Norway.
