Dear Nanda,

We are having a great a holiday here on the Gold Coast. Yesterday we went to the Movie World.

When we got up in the morning, it looked like rain. After a while the cloud disappeared. And it became a sunny day. We then decided to go to the Movie World.

The first ride I went on was Lethal Weapon. Next I saw the Police Academy show. After that I had lunch as I was really hungry. Meanwhile, Mum and Kelly queued for the Batman ride.

About one o’clock we got a light shower of rain but it cleared up soon after. We then went on all the other rides.

It was a top day. See you when you get back.

Love,

Samuel

What is the meaning of the underlined word?

A cactus (plural: cacti) is any member of the plant family Cactaceae, native to the Americas. They are often used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop plants. Cacti are grown for protection of property from wild animals, as well as many other uses.

Cacti are part of the plant order Caryophyllales, which also include members like beets, gypsophila, spinach, amaranth, tumbleweeds, carnations, rhubarb, buckwheat, plumbago, bougainvillea, chickweed and knotgrass.

Cacti are unusual and distinctive plants, which are adapted to extremely arid and hot environments, showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features which conserve water. Their stems have adapted to become photosynthetic and succulent, while the leaves have become the spines for which cacti are well known.

Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The tallest is Pachycereus pringlei, with a maximum recorded height of 19.2 m, and the smallest is Blossfeldia liliputiana, only about 1 cm in diameter at maturity. Cactus flowers are large, and like the spines and branches arise from areoles. Many cactus species are night blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals, principally moths and bats. Cacti range in size from small and globular to tall and columnar.

Where can we find Cacti mostly?

The weather was very clear. I and my family decided to go camping last holiday. Father prepared the tent and other equipment. Mother prepared the cooking and eating utensils. I took my fishing rod and my brother brought his sport equipment. When everything was ready, we left for the camping site in countryside.

. There were many campers when we arrived at the camping site. Unfortunately, the good location near the river had been occupied by other campers so we had to look for another place. Finally,, we found a good place little bit further. It was near the big tree. After setting up the tent, my father and I went fishing. We joined other people sitting on the rock near the river.

In the evening, father made a fire. Mother cooked the fish we caught. I could say that it was the best fish I had ever tasted. Sleeping in the tent was a very wonderful experience. I woke up early in the morning. I felt fresh. Then I accompanied my brother playing ball.

In the afternoon, we came back home.

Dear Lia,

I Have a boyfriend. He is my senior at school. He is religious, smart and wise.

Most girls at school like him very much. I feel so lucky that I have him. The problem is that my Mom doesn’t like him because he has a dark complexion. I think religion is more important than anything else. I’m so confuse. As a good daughter I must obey my mother. But I don’t want to loose a good boy like him. What should I do to convince my mother?

This is Kota Baru town. However, it does not mean that it is a new town. In fact, it belongs to the category of old towns. Kota Baru itself is really a big town.

In this town, there are many buildings. There is a big post office. It is near a bank. The bank itself is next to a supermarket, and behind the bank is a restaurant. In front of the bank there is a park. This park is pretty crowded especially on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

Cappuccino coast is a natural ocean phenomenon. It is extremely rare, because it doesn’t occur very often. But sometimes, the sea churns out thick brown foam that resembles cappuccino froth. As cappuccino was brought to its shores by the strongest storm.

This creamy, fluffy and frothy beach has a mysterious explanation to offer. The foam gets its brown color from dirt and other impurities like seaweed excretion, fish remains, and dead ocean plants. This thick foam appears when salt water interacts with the decomposition products of underwater living creatures. Strong currents mix all of these impurities, they all are shaken and stirred together, eventually creating bubbles and foam that are carried off to the shoreline. The more powerful the swirl is, the more foam it creates. And, that’s how ocean foam is formed. They are quite cool when touched. This is definitely the place wherein the swimmers can revel in its divine caress.

What influences the amount of cappuccino foam?
