Last week, l went to the lake for fishing. It was the suitable time for fishing because I had nothing to do. I went there with my friends.

Arriving at the lake, I directly went to the best spot to get a giant fish. It was under the big tree at the bank of the lake. I threw my hook as far as I could then I waited for the fish eating my bait. It had been 15 minutes and I finally saw the sign that there was a fish eating my bait.

We had a wonderful holiday in Bali.

It was a really great place. The people were friendly, the food was great, and the weather was a lot better than at home.

Most days were pretty. I swam two or three times a day, but my brother Fachri just spent all his time lying on the beach with his eyes closed.

Last Saturday I got on the bus and went to the north of the island, It was much quieter there than here–very beautiful, but no tourists. The next day we went across to

the east coast to see some of the old villages.

I learned Balinese–I couldn’t say much, but it was fun to try.

I cannot forget it because that’s unforgettable experience for me.
