My Most Unforgettable Holiday

In 2015, I went to Derawan Island with my friends and that marks my most memorable holiday ever!

In June, our school was having summer holiday, so we thought to ourselves that it shouldn't go to waste. We quickly browsed the internet to find a good holiday destination and after an hour of heated debate, the four of us agreed to give Derawan Island a try. It was purely out of curiousity as none of us had been there before.

We arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 05.30 a.m. as the flight was at 07.00 a.m. First, we flew to Balikpapan and waited for about an hour to continue the flight to Berau. As soon as we touched down in Berau, my friend called the tour agent that we had contacted earlier in Jakarta. They had got a car ready to take us to Labuan Batu. From Labuan Batu, we took a speedboat for about an hour to Derawan Island. It was such a long trip to Derawan but it all paid off as soon as we saw how beautiful the island was.

My friends and I were quickly ushered to our rooms in the resort. It was fantastic! The rooms were in a cottage that was situated right above the sea. So we only had to step out the terrace to find ourselves out in the open sea! After unpacking our luggages and washing up, we went to the dining hall to grab our dinner. The dinner was only simple seafood dishes. The surrounding totally enhanced the dining experience, making the food taste much better.

The following day, we took a speedboat tour, hopping from one island to another Our first trip stop was Kakaban Island where we hiked to reach the lake and swam among stingless jellyfish. The last time I heard, there were only three places in the world that have stingless jellyfish; two of them in Indonesia! Isn't that great? The next stop was the Sangalaki Island where we got to visit sea turtle conservation and took lots of pictures with sea turtle babies. They were so cute!

Our last stop was the Maratua Island where we were able to feed fish and see a three-legged sea turtle. The three-legged sea-turtle wasn't born that way. We were told that it was swimming in the open sea when it was still a baby then its leg got caught in plastic trash and couldn't grow even when the sea-turtle reached adulthood. One of the island's guards saw the sea-turtle and saved it. He also untangled the plastic trash that bound the sea-turtle's leg but it was too late. Since then, the sea-turtle is kept in a special space next to the resort in Maratua Island and the guards take turns feeding it to ensure its survival. This is why we should never litter and endanger other creatures! After Maratua Island, we headed back to Derawan Island to catch a late dinner and turned in.

The following morning, we wake up early and ate our breakfast in the dining room. Then, the driver drove us back to the airport so we could catch a flight back to Jakarta. We arrived at Jakarta, exhausted but terribly happy! It was the most unforgettable trip I have ever experienced so far!


What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?

a)

To share the readers the writer's most enjoyable experience.

b)

To inform to the readers about the beauty of Derawan Island.

c)

To invite readers to visit the holiday destination mentioned.

Try the following tips

1. Stay out of the sun during peak hours. While these times may vary slightly depending on the season and where you live. You should be indoors if all possible between 10:00 and 15:00.

2. Keep covered up. Floppy hats and large umbrellas work well and so do cover-ups. Long-sleeved cotton shirts are excellent for hiking, cycling etc; see your sports store for special brands that allow breathing as well as cover-up.

3. Use sunscreen on any exposed areas. An SPF of 45+ is recommended for it allows even the fairest skinned folks to stay out in the sun for a few hours before reapplying. Try chopstick on your lips. Follow the instructions on sunscreen carefully. Always reapply after leaving the water, as it’ll have washed off.

4. Don’t forget hard-to-reach places. Don’t forget to cover the backs of your knees, back of your neck, elbows and back of your ears (if you have short hair). Feet should also be included if you are wearing sandals, flip-flops or going bare-foot. Even these places can hurt a lot with sunburn.

5. Don’t lie in the sun purposefully seeking a tan. This is not only damaging to your skin but might burn you the first few times you try it at the beginning of the season. If you want to tan, do it gradually and sensibly, with short exposure and building up over time.

Put a small amount of oil or sunscreen in your hair so you will avoid burning your scalp. Or cover it with a hat. Some shampoos and hair conditioners contain SPF protection.

Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. It is good for the environment, since we are making new products from the old products which are of no use to us. There are many reasons why it’s important to recycle as much as possible.

Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to consume precious resources. So recycling helps protect raw materials and protect natural habitats for the future.

Using recycling materials in the manufacturing process uses considerably less energy than that required for producing new products from raw materials.

Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy, it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.

There are over 1,500 landfill sites in the UK and, in 2001, these sites produced a quarter of the UK’s emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is released as the biodegradable waste (such as food and paper) decomposes. Existing landfill sites are filling up fast and there is very limited space for new ones.

A massive reduction in the amount of waste we send to landfill is required if we are to avoid the heavy fines and the landfill taxes that are being imposed by Central Government on councils that exceed their landfill allowances. Increases in your Council Tax or service cuts in other areas would be the only way of paying these penalties.


What does the text highlight?

a)

Reasons to recycle.

b)

Conserving the energy.

c)

Protecting the environment.

d)

Environmental construction.

e)

Saving money through recycling.

Let me tell you about my story. It happened 15 years old ago. We grew up in a beautiful family. My dad, mom, my little sister an of course me. I was rather spoiled child. Nevertheless, what made me upset the most was the fact that my mom never allowed me to play outside. I could only see the other kids running around, playing outside with their friends, and having fun. However, I thought there was nothing I could do about this.

My parents made a living from their own business. They owned a small restaurant. As the time passed, I started to understand the situation. The rent became more expensive and business slowed down. My mom and I had to help out once in a while. Actually, I enjoyed it. Answering calls, taking address, and doing a job like a worker did. Occasionally, the customers asked about my age. When they knew I was just about ten years old, they complimented me for doing such a good job and being so smart. I was so happy to know how to do something that the other kids at my age did not.

Firstly, people were baffled and amazed to see a flying iron in the sky. The unbelievable invention is a plane. However, people don’t know how a big iron plane can fly. Here is the explanation.

To stay up in the while moving forward, a plane needs air pressure under it’s wings. The high air pressure underneath the wings pushes the plane upward. The engine makes the plane move forward.

The shape of the plane allows air to flow easily over the plane’s smooth surface. It helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane. Consequently, this allows it to move rapidly through the air.

Engines help planes to move forward. The movement in usually called the thrust. By moving forward, it keeps the air flowing over the wings. This allows the plane to stay afloat in the air.


The writer intents to write the next to ....

a)

Make people know about a plane

b)

Retell the work of the plane engine

c)

d)

The shape of the plane allows air to flow easily over the plane’s smooth surface. It helps to reduce the drag caused by the air pushing against the plane. Consequently, this allows it to move rapidly through the air.

Engines help planes to move forward. The movement in usually called the thrust. By moving forward, it keeps the air flowing over the wings. This allows the plane to stay afloat in the air.


What might happen to a plane if its engine fail?

a)

Fly slowly and calm

b)

Begin to descend

c)

Keep flying

d)

Stop flying

e)

Move fast

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.

All human beings eat food and make use of the chemical energy in it, so do all other animals. Perhaps you wonder where all that chemical energy comes from. Why doesn't the food all get used up? The answer is that new food is being grown as fast as old food is used to. It is the green plants that form the new food. Animals either eat the plants or eat other animals that have eaten plants. The green substance of plants is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll can absorb sunlight. When it does so, it changes the energy of the sun into chemical energy. The chemical energy present in sunlit chlorophyll is used to combine dioxide in the air with water from the soil. Starch [bi1] and other complicated compounds are formed. These are high in chemical energy obtained from the sunlit chlorophyll. They make up the food on which mankind and all other animals live. In the process of forming this food, some oxygen atoms are left over. These are given off into the air by the plants. The whole process is called photosynthesis. Thus, plants use sunlight to from food and oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water again. Plants change the sun's energy into chemical energy. And animals change the animal energy into kinetic and heat energy.


4.What will happen when the chlorophyll absorbs sunlight? It will....

a)

change heat into kinetic energy

b)

form complicated compound

c)

make use of heat energy

d)

change kinetic energy into chemical energy

e)

change the sun's energy into chemical energy
