When I was in Junior High School, my mother bought me an acoustic guitar. It was my first guitar. I learned some basic guitar chord with it. It accompanied me since I was a beginner who know nothing about guitar, until I managed to improve my skill to a better level. Even though I have another guitar right now, but this one is still my favorite. The sound produced by it is still as clear as it was. Its classic and simple design is just irreplaceable.

My favorite acoustic guitar has great appearance. It is mainly made of mahogany wood. It is a steel-string type of acoustic guitar. Three different color were used to cover the major parts of the guitar. The color of the front side is peach with wooden fiber pattern which intentionally designed to be clearly visible with our eye. The color of the back side is black, and the color of the edges is dark brown. The neck of the guitar was painted in black, but the headstock is dark brown. The tuning pegs or tuning keys are made of white plastic and is attached to the headstock, three on the top side and three on the bottom side. There is a part called "nut" placed between the neck and the headstock. It is made of white plastic too. The fret of the guitar is mainly made of copper. There is only one sound hole on my guitar and it is located at the end part of the neck. The bridge, where the end part of the strings was attached, is made of wood and is painted in black.

One day, when an Ant was nimbly running about in search of food, came across a Chrysalis that was close to its time of change. The Chrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant, who then saw for the first time that it was alive. “Poor, pitiable animal!” cried the Ant disdainfully. “What a sad fate is yours! While I can run hither and hither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish, ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, with power only to move a joint or two or your scaly tail.” The Chrysalis heard all this, but did not try to make any reply.

A few days after, when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained. Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenly shaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly, “Behold in me, your much pitied friend!” said the Butterfly, “Boast of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me to listen now” So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne along and aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of the Ant forever.

SETTING UP THE MICROWAVE

Place the microwave on a flat, dry surface. A

clean counter in your kitchen or a solid, wooden table would be good for

the microwave. Do not put the microwave near a gas or electric range, such

as your stove.

· Make sure the microwave’s air vents on one side are not being blocked.

Check that the roller ring and glass

tray are secure in the microwave. Most microwaves will come with a

plastic roller ring and a round glass tray. The roller ring and the glass

tray should fit inside the microwave. The glass tray should spin around on

the roller ring easily and smoothly. Plug the microwave into a grounded

wall outlet. Make sure the outlet is rated for 20 A. This will ensure

it is safe to use to power the microwave.

Note that a microwave from one country may not work or become damaged in another country. In the Americas and Japan, the outlets are usually rated for 110 V 60 Hz. In Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world, the outlets are usually rated for 220 V 50 Hz.

Pick an outlet that is not already being used by another appliance or electronic device.

Look at the features on the microwave.

Check for numbers on the front of the microwave from 1-9. You can use

these numbers to enter in your desired cooking or heating time. There

should also be a Start button on the front that you can use to start the

microwave. Most microwaves will also have a clock on them that you can set

using the instructions that came with the microwave.

Depending on the model, the microwave may have settings for reheating, defrosting, and cooking food. These settings will automatically heat your food based on whether you want to reheat it, defrost it, or cook it.

We have to read the instruction how to set up the microwave before operating it, … it has different model.

When I was in senior high school, my school held a study tour to Bali and all of the 11th-grade students participated. I went there with my teachers and friends. We left our school at about 08.00 a.m.

The trip from Blora to Bali only took about one day, but it was quite exhausting because I had to sit along the way. Luckily, the trip felt short because it was fun. I spent the whole time along the way singing, joking around, and playing games with my friends.

All of my tiredness has suddenly gone when we arrived at Sanur Beach. It was early in the morning, so I could see the sunrise. It was really beautiful. Then, we headed for the hotel to take a rest and had breakfast first before continuing our adventure.

After my energy had fully recharged, then we went to the Nusa Dua Beach. We could do a lot of fun activities there, such as playing parasailing, banana boat, and so on. I skipped those fun stuff and preferred to go to a little island which had a lot of reptiles in there, such as snakes, turtles, etc. The view was wonderful because the island looked like in the middle of the sea.

Next, we went to Garuda Wisnu Kencana. There were two gigantic statues of Wisnu and his bird named Garuda. The relief on the rock was also amazing but I did not really know the story on it. At last, we went to one of the biggest bottled tea beverage companies in Bali to do some observations. We learned how tea bottled beverages were manufactured from the first until the last step.

Finally, our study tour in Bali was over and we went back to Blora. Although the trip was so tiring, I felt really happy because I could learn a lot from it and spent the time with my dear friends.

On a hill in area of Borneo, there lived a poor widow and her daughter. The girl was really beautiful. However, she was very lazy and spoiled. She loved to dress up every day, but never helped her mother.

One day, they went down to a village for shopping. A market was far away from their house. They walked there. The girl got dressed very nice and walked in front of her mother. While the widow walked behind, carried a basket, wore dirty clothes. Nobody knew they were mother and daughter.

While entering village, people looked at them. Young men were so fascinated by girl’s beauty. However, she was in contrast to a woman walking behind her. It made people wonder. Some young men asked her whether woman was her mother. But girl arrogantly replied that she was her maid. More people asked her along the way to market. She gave a same answer that widow was her slave.

Eventually, mother’s heart hurt to hear her daughter’s answer. Mother prayed to God to punish her ungodly daughter. Suddenly, girl stopped then slowly turned to be a stone. Daughter cried, she apologized to his mother. But it was too late. A pretty girl was turned into a stone but continued to tear, it’s called A Crying Stone.

CACTI

Cacti or cactuses are member of the plant family Cactaceae. The word "cactus" derives from the ancient Greek, kaktos, a name for a spiny plant whose identity is not certain. Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes.

Most cacti live in extremely dry environments, even being found in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth because cacti can conserve water by doing many adaptions. Almost all cacti have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Most species of cacti have lost true leaves, retaining only spines, which are highly modified leaves. The spines help prevent water loss by reducing air flow close to the cactus and providing some shade.

Cacti are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north—except for Rhipsalis baccifera, which also grows in Africa and Sri Lanka. Cacti have a variety of uses: many species are used as ornamental plants and others for food (particularly their fruit).
