Subject : my beautiful September

Dear Lula,

How are you? I’m doing well. Last week I want to Palembang to visit my sister. You know, she moved there since she got married. I stayed there for only two days, as I couldn’t skip school for longer

It was Saturday morning when I arrived in the capital city of south Sumatra. My sister’s husband fetched me from the airport. Then, he drove me to their house which took around thirty minutes by car. It was a nice warm day in September. I was very happy to see my sister after six month apart. We talked and shared everything.

In the afternoon, my sister and her husband took me around the city. We visited Ampere Square, which is near the Ampere Bridge. This is Palembang people’s favorite weekend spot, with their families or friends.

I spent the last day by visiting other interesting places in Palembang. I flew back to Jakarta in the evening. It was a memorable visit even though it was short

Well, that’s all I’d like to share with you

Best regards,

Dion

Hi Sandra,

I'm really sorry, but I can't come to lunch this Saturday. I've had flu for a week now and still feel terrible. I went to the doctor yesterday and she gave me antibiotics and told me to stay in bed for a few days.

I'm so sorry, but let's fix another date as soon as possible. Let me know when you're free. I'm really looking forward to seeing you.

Love, Dira

Last month my family and I moved to a new house.

We moved because our old house was far from my father's office and located in a crowded neighbourhood.

Our new house is nicer and bigger than the old one. There are several rooms to work in, like a spacious living room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining room and a modern kitchen which I like the most. There is also backyard where my father build a gazebo.

The house is located in a good neighbourhood. The people are friendly, kind and helpful. Though we've only stayed here for a while, we know all our neighbours. The most important thing is it is not noisy with vehicles horns and engines. The air is still fresh

Furthermore, there is also a shopping centre just down the street with a minimarket, quite good restaurants and stores. My mother usually shops there every weekend,

In short, we really enjoy living here.

Last month was a festive season, but I felt a tinge of sadness because my best friend was no longer with me.

My warmest time was at junior high school because I had the best friend. Her name is Rika. I met her initially in the school canteen and then got to know each other. She was a new student in my school.

As friends, we counted on each other for everything. We shared lunches, clothes, joy and even grief. We often studied in fast food restaurants, spotting questions and sharing answers

Of course, we had our share of quarrels. The biggest one was when we both had a crush on the OSIS captain. When we calmed down, we realized that neither of us meant anything to him. Soon we made up

Sadly, after your graduation Rika moved to Balikpapan because her father was promoted to head of his branch office there. A year later, we lost contact I didn't know why, but I surely know that we'll meet again.

What is the main idea of paragraph three?

Why did the writer feel sad after the graduation?

"As friends, counted on each other for everything." (Paragraph 3) What does the underlined phrase mean?

A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why after three months of training the master had taught him only one move. "Sensei (teacher in Japanese," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"

"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after a while, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be outmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened. "No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue." Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind

"Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?"

"You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."

The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength

What is the story about?

What did the boy wonder about, after practising for a few months?

"... the boy deftly used his one move to win the match." (Paragraph 4) What does the underlined word mean?

What can you learn from the story?

Officially known in the Northern hemisphere as the aurora borealis, the Northern Lights are natural phenomena featuring beautifully coloured light displays over the Earth. The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern hemispheres.

The Northern Lights are actually the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere and charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere. Their displays appear in many colours. The most common are pale-yellowish green and pink. Shades of red, yellow, green, blue, and violet have also been reported.

Variations in colours are due to the type of gas particles that are colliding. For example, the pale yellowish-green is produced by oxygen molecules located about 60 miles above the Earth. The red colour is produced by high-altitude oxygen, at height of up to 200 miles. Nitrogen produces blue or purplish-red aurora

Each appearance of the Northern Lights is unique. Often you see three green bands across the night sky or the lights come as flickering curtains or rolling smoke. The colour is luminous green, often with a hint of pink along the edge, and occasionally with a deep violet centre.
