Last holiday my students and I went to Jogjakarta. We stayed at Morison Hotel which is not a long way from Malioboro. On Friday, we went to the sanctuaries in Prambanan. There are three major sanctuaries, the Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu sanctuaries. They are truly stunning. We went by just Brahmana and Syiwa sanctuaries, on the grounds that Wisnu sanctuary is being remodeled. On Saturday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent around two hours there. We were fortunate on the grounds that we were driven by a brilliant and amicable aide. At that point we proceeded with our adventure to Borobudur.

Bandung as Sea of Fire was a fire that occurred in the city of Bandung on March 24, 1946. Within seven hours, about 200,000 residents of Bandung burned their homes.

There were black smoke billowing high into the air everywhere. The British Army began to attack so fierce. The greatest battle happened in the Village name Dayeuh Kolot, in South Bandung, where there were a large ammunition depot belonging to British. In this battle, Barisan Rakyat Indonesia destroyed the ammunition depot.

Last holiday, my friends and I went to the beach near from our city. We went early in the morning and arrived there at 8 a.m. luckily, that day was sunny. The beach seemed so beautiful under the blue sunny sky. It was great to feel the sand grains beneath our feet and the breeze blowing our hair gently. At noon, we started to feel hungry, so we decided to head to the nearest food stall. The fish looked fresh and there were a lot of seafood menu listed here. We ordered grilled fishes. The dishes were delicious since the seller made them from fresh ingredients. We filled our bellies to our heart’s content. We stay until the sun set because many people said the view was so outstanding. They were right, it was amazing. We took great photos as a keepsake of our beautiful moments here.

Read the text below and answer the question! Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) — Astronomer and Scientist. Galileo developed a superior telescope and made many significant discoveries in astronomy. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the inquisition for his support for the Copernican theory that the sun was at the centre of the solar system. Galileo was born in Florence, Italy in 1564 to a poor but noble family His parents recognized their child’s innate intelligence and talents and so made sacrifices to have him educated. At his father’s insistence, Galileo studied the profitable career of medicine. But, at the University of Pisa, Galileo became fascinated in a wide range of subjects. He was also critical of many of Aristotle’s teaching which had dominated education for the past 2,000 years. Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor at the University of Pisa, but his strident criticisms of Aristotle left him isolated among his contemporaries. After three years of persecution, he resigned and went to the University of Padua, where he taught maths. His entertaining lectures attracted a large following and he was able to spend the next 18 years pursuing his interests in astronomy and mechanics. SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LEARN FROM GALILEO GALILEI’S LIFE IS …

We should believe in something and stay faithful to it no matter how hard

We should spend 18 years to pursue our interests

We must sacrifice everything to get ourselves educated

We must never go against the believe of the society to avoid getting imprisoned

We must always believe whatever the society believes to avoid getting persecuted

World War II in the Pacific ended after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. The Empire of Japan surrended to the Allies aboard USS Missouri in 1945. It inspired the East Indies (Indonesian) nationalists to proclaim independence, which the Japanese had promised. Soon, the leaders of the Indonesian nationalists movement insisted that Soekarno, a son of a school-teacher and theosophist, and Hatta, a Sumatra economist, proclaim Indonesian independence on the August 17th, 1945. They were also appointed president and vice-president of the new nation. After the Japanese fled from the East Indies, the Dutch came back to recover the territory. They realized that the East Indies was very important for the Dutch economy. Armed with Japanese weapons, the nationalists declared war on the Dutch. However, with their modern weapons, the Dutch were able to make significant headway in Sumatra and Java. The Dutch aggression came under much criticism from the United Nations. They proposed a negotiation between the Dutch and the Indonesian nationalist movement and both sides agreed to negotiate. Eventually, a conference of 120 delegates was held in the Hague (Dutch: Den Haag) in 1949. The Indonesian nationalist delegates were led by Mohammad Hatta. After ten weeks of meetings, both sides reached an agreement by which the Dutch recognised the sovereignty of the United States of Indonesia, with Queen Juliana as the titular head of an Indonesian-Dutch union. Adapted from: http://www.historytoday.com/richard-cavendish/independence-indonesia From the passage, we can infer that ....

The Indonesian nationalists were inspired to proclaim independence when the Empire of Japan surrended to the Allies

Independence was proclaimed by Mohammad Hatta

Independence was proclaimed as the Dutch had promised

The Indonesian nationalists insisted on proclaiming independence as the Japanese had promised

Queen Juliana was the one who proclaimed independence

I threw my hook as far as I could then I waited for the fish eating my bait. It had been 15 minutes and I finally saw the sign that there was a fish eating my bait.
