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. I tried to pull it up and I succeeded. I got a three kilogram fish.

I got so many fish that day even though I was so tired. I was so excited. I think I will visit the spot again in the next holiday.

Last week, my friend and I rode our bikes to the beach. It was only five kilometers

from our houses. It was quite windy and there was hardly anyone there. It surprised us because there were always many people coming there on the weekends. So, we had the beach on our own. We bought some hot chips, rode our bikes, played in the water and sat

under the trees. We really had a great time.

Vacation to Indrayanti Beach

Last weekend, I and my family went to Indrayanti Beach to spend our holiday. We went there with our own car.

The route to Indrayanti Beach is very zigzagged and its very quiet in the middle of the night. I and my family almost got lost since we had never been there before, but eventually we got there safely. We nearly couldn’t get a room to stay overnight because it was a long weekend and it was not easy to find available rooms. We got up early in the morning so that we could enjoy the sunrise landscape by the beach. My brother was playing with white sand with my sister while I took their picture.

A day at Indrayati Beach felt so short, we were quite tired from playing for a whole day, but we were very happy.

My wonderful trip

Last week, my brother and I went to Tokyo for a vacation. I did the web surfing before having a trip there. I choose to take Tokyo public transportation since many people said that Tokyo had the best transportation called MRT (Mass Rapid Transport).

The MRT was known as a commuter underground, so a large number of people transferred to go to their work place every day. We took the MRT boarded at Chiba station. When the train moved, we felt like we were in a jet. It was remarkably fast because the route was underground. We could see nothing except the darkness on both sides.

In the commuter, people were not allowed to bring any food and beverages. The regulation was aimed to keep the cleanliness of the commuter’s area. We amazed by how people obeyed the provided rule, although there was no penalty mentioned in the regulation.

On the arrival at Ariake station, we walked down around the station. Our ride was really comfortable and nice. I dreamt of living here with my family. It was really great and comfortable trip.

On Wednesday, my students and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel which is not far from Malioboro.

On Thursday, we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We visited only Brahmana and Syiwa temples, because Wisnu temple is being renovated.

On Friday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky because we were led by a smart and friendly guide. Then we continued our journey to Borobudur. We arrived there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard the announcement that Borobudur gate would be closed.

In the evening we left for Jakarta by wisata bus.

Last summer, my cousin and I went to Indonesia for vacation. we spent a few days in Yogyakarta. it is a special region in the central part of Java.

we stayed in Ibis hotel on Malioboro Street because it made us easy to go anywhere. the first place we visited was Yogyakarta Palace. we also went to Taman Sari water castle. it was nice to see the former royal garden of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta.

on the second day, we went to Prambanan Temple by Trans Jogja. it was very cheap and practical. I was amazed to see the beautiful ancient architecture. After looking around and taking a lot of pictures, we took a rest at a local food restaurant. Dani, my cousin, really loved eating his gudeg, especially Krecek.

The next day, we went to Parangtritis beach. It was very crowded with tourists. after that, we went to Mirota Batik to buy batik clothes and traditional accessories. most people said that it was the most recommended place for shopping in Yogyakarta. i hope i can go there again one day.

How many days did the writer spend his vacation in Yogyakarta?

My Holiday

Last week I went to Mount Bromo. I stayed at my friend's house in Probolinggo, East Java. The house has a big garden with colourful flowers and a small pool.

In the morning, my friend and I saw Mount Batok. The scenery was very beautiful. We rode on horseback. It was scary, but it was fun. Then, we went to get a closer look at the mountain. We took pictures of the beautiful scenery there. After that, we took a rest and had lunch under a big tree. Before we got home, we went to the zoo at Wonokromo. We went home in the afternoon.

We were very tired. However, I think it was really fun to have a holiday like this. I hope my next holiday will be more interesting.

My Day

I had a terrible day yesterday. First, I woke up an hour late because my alarm clock didn't go off. Then, I was in such a hurry that I burned my hand when I was making breakfast. After breakfast, I got dressed so quickly that I forgot to wear socks.

Next, I ran out of the house trying to get the 9:30 bus, but of course I missed it. I wanted to take a taxi, but I didn't have enough money.

Finally, I walked the three miles to my school only to discover that it was Sunday! I hope I never have a day as the one I had yesterday.

What happened to the writer yesterday?

Bandung as Sea of Fire was a fire that occurred in the city of Bandung on March 24, 1946. Within seven hours, about 200,000 residents of Bandung burned their homes.

British troops as part of the Brigade MacDonald arrived in Bandung on October 12, 1945. Bandung was deliberately burned by TRI and local people. There were black smoke billowing high into the air everywhere. The British Army began to attack so fierce. The greatest battle happened in the Village name Dayeuh Kolot, in South Bandung, where there were a large ammunition depot belonging to British. In this battle, Barisan Rakyat Indonesia destroyed the ammunition depot.

The strategy to fire Bandung was considered because the power of TRI and people’s militia was not comparable to the British forces and NICA. This incident inspired to create the famous song “Halo, Halo Bandung”.

The United Nations, who mediated in the conflict, formally acknowledge the date of independence as 27 December 1949.

The document was signed by Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, who were appointed president and vice-president respectively the following day.
