Last year was the best experience I’ve ever got. I was the first winner of singing competition

I love singing since I was kid. I practiced so hard before the D-day. My parents were really supportive. They helped me to practice and prepared healthy food for me. They also gave me motivation to believe in myself.

That’s why winning singing competition meant so much to me.

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.

I have got an unforgettable experience last Lebaran Day. My family and I went to my mother’s hometown to celebrate “Idul Fitri”. We went by aeroplane. At the airport, my family and I had to walk through the metal detector. When I got the turn to walk through it, suddenly the alarm beeped. The woman who worked as the airport security said, “Come here, you need to get your belt off”. I took my belt off, but the alarm still beeped. The security asked me to take my wallet from my pocket. I did what she ordered. Still alarm beeped.

After that the security asked me to turn back and she checked my body. She touched my left pocket. Then she told me, “There was something in it. it might be the things that made the alarm beeped”. I took out something from the left pocket. The woman laughed and said, “That has made the alarm beep”. It was a silver pen. I felt embarrassed because everybody stared at me with curiosity.

Why did the airport security tell the writer to take off his belt?

Last Sunday, I was gardening with my father. It was half past six in the morning. The air was really fresh. My dad called me from the yard. He said something about ‘banana’. I walked to where he stood looking at one of my banana tress. I saw som of them are already yellow. What a great view!

Next, we were busy to harvest the bananas it was my first time to do this. We just moved to this new house for about six months. Here, we have some yard besides the house with banana and guava trees.

After that I watered the vertical garden and pulled off the wild grass. I also collected the old leaves and realized that the yard looked nicer and cleaner after that.

Finally, I picked 2 ripe guavas. Hmm, they smelt nice. I took a shower and had breakfast with my parents right after that. It was a fine Sunday morning. I felt a stronger bond by doing the gardening with my father.

Last holiday, I was in Mexico City with my Dad. It was a fascinating place and the people were friendly. The most amazing thing happened to me when I was looking for the Paseo de la Reforma. It is a street with beautiful trees, plants and statues. I was nearly lost and studying my map when I saw a man with colourful and unusual clothes in front of the cathedral. So I asked him, “Can you tell me where the Paseo de la Reforma is?” he smiled and answered, “It is only two blocks away from here.”

I thought I took the wrong street because I didn’t find the Paseo de la Reforma. Just when I was thinking about going back to my hotel, the man appeared again and showed me the way. As I was walking down the street, I saw the statue of Cuauhtemoc, the last Aztec leader. I was going to take the photo of it when I realized something unusual. The statue looked exactly like the man I saw in front of the cathedral! He was wearing the same clothes. Even his grin was similar.

What do you think about this? Do you think I am crazy?

Based on the text,which one is Paseo de la Reforma?

Later, we took a walk around the park and saw many beautiful flowers. It was a lovely day spent with my family, and I felt grateful for these moments.

When I arrived at the library, I noticed that it was unusually quiet. I walked to the reading area and saw a few students studying. I decided to find a book to read. After searching for a while, I found an interesting novel and sat down to enjoy it.

During our family trip to the beach, we built a large sandcastle. My brother was in charge of collecting the water to make the sand stick together. We decorated it with shells and seaweed. After a while, the tide came in and washed it away. We all felt sad but decided to go for a swim instead.

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.

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.

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”.
