Sack Race in Independence Day

My friends and I met up at the local. We all prepared to put on our sack. When, the race was about to start, I was feeling nervous but excited.

The whistle blew, and we all started hopping. It was hard to keep my balance. At first, I was falling behind but I kept hopping. I knew that I had to give my all if I wanted to win.

A Parade in My Hometown

When I was a child, I always waited for Independence Day. My father used to ask me to watch a parade together. We watched it from our front yard. I remember how attractive the parade was.

In the first line of the parade, I saw people wore Indonesian heroes’ costume. Some others dressed like local ghosts. They were scary but they were funny too.

Next, I remember that a lot of people marched in the second line. They waved a mini Indonesian flag. They walked around the village and sang the ‘Hari Merdeka’ song. Their singing was accompanied by traditional instruments like angklung, suling, and rebana.

At last, I also saw that many children rode their bicycles in the parade. They decorated their bicycles creatively. This line was my favorite.

I always wanted to join the parade but I was too shy. Luckily, I have the chance to join the parade at my school next week. I am really looking forward to it.   What does the text talk about?

• A parade in Independence Day

• A mini Indonesian flag ceremony

• An annual festival in hometown

• A traditional instrument contest
