An Unforgettable School Trip to Yogyakarta

Last semester, my classmates and I went to Yogyakarta for a school trip. We had prepared for the trip for almost a month. Our teachers helped us plan everything, from transportation to the places we would visit. Everyone was very excited because it was our first trip after the pandemic. We left Jember at 7 p.m. by bus and arrived in Yogyakarta early the next morning. After having breakfast, we visited Borobudur Temple. The temple was magnificent! Our tour guide told us many stories about the history of Borobudur and the meaning of its reliefs. We took a lot of photos together and enjoyed the fresh morning air. In the afternoon, we went to Malioboro Street. The street was crowded with tourists. We bought souvenirs, such as batik clothes, keychains, and traditional snacks. I also tried “gudeg,” a famous Yogyakarta dish made from young jackfruit. It was sweet and delicious. On the next day, we visited the Yogyakarta Palace (Kraton). There, we watched traditional Javanese performances and learned about royal traditions. After lunch, we continued to Parangtritis Beach. The waves were big, and the sunset was breathtaking. Some of my friends rode ATVs along the beach while others took pictures near the water. Finally, on the last day, we checked out from the hotel and returned home. We were tired but happy. The trip taught us not only about history and culture but also about friendship and teamwork. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

What was the most memorable moment for the writer at Parangtritis Beach?

       Once upon a time, there was a clever deer who lived in a large forest. He was friendly and loved to help other animals. One day, a hungry tiger came to the forest. The tiger wanted to hunt the deer.

       When the deer saw the tiger, he knew he had to do something to save himself. The tiger said, “I’m going to eat you, Deer! You look delicious.” The deer pretended to be calm and replied, “Sure, you can eat me. But first, let me show you my home near the river. It’s cleaner there.”

The tiger agreed and followed the deer.

When they arrived at the river, the deer pointed to his reflection in the water and said,

“Look, my friend! There is another tiger in the water who wants to take your food!”

The following text is for number 16-19

Once upon a time all the spirits set about building two palaces; a palace of truth, and a palace of lies. Every time a child told the truth, a brick was created for the palace of truth. The spirits of truth would then take it and add it to the growing walls.
In just the same way was the palace of lies built. Each brick was created when a child told a lie. Both palaces were impressive - the best in the world - and each group of spirits worked hard to try to make sure that their own palace was the best. So much so that the lying spirits, who were much trickier and more deceitful, sent a group of spirits to the world to get children to tell more and more lies. These spirits were successful and started getting many more bricks. As a result, their palace became bigger and more spectacular.

But one day, something strange happened in the palace of lies. One of the bricks turned into a cardboard box. A little later another brick turned into sand, and then another turned into glass, and smashed. And so, little by little, it became clear that whenever a lie was discovered, the brick that it had created changed its form, was crushed, and finally disappeared. In this way, the palace of lies became weaker, and in the end, it completely fell to pieces.
At this, everyone, including the lying spirits, understood that you cannot use lies for anything. They are never what they appear to be, and so you never know what they will turn into.

A Memorable Camping Trip

Last month, my classmates and I went on a three-day camping trip to Mount Bromo. It was my first time visiting the famous volcano.

On the first day, we arrived at the campsite around noon. We immediately worked together to set up our tents. It was a bit challenging because the ground was uneven and the wind was quite strong. After that, we gathered firewood and started a bonfire. We spent the evening telling spooky stories and singing songs around the fire. It was chilly, but the fire kept us warm.

The highlight of the trip was definitely the second day. We woke up very early, at 3:30 a.m., and hiked to the viewpoint to see the sunrise. The hike was tough in the dark, but when the sun finally rose, the view was absolutely breath taking! The sky was painted with orange and pink, and we could see the majestic Bromo crater with the sea of sand below. We took many pictures to capture the moment. Later that day, we visited the Whispering Sand and the Teletubbies Hill, which were equally beautiful.

On the last day, we packed up our gear and cleaned the campsite before heading back home. Although I was exhausted, the memories of the stunning sunrise and the teamwork made the trip truly unforgettable.

My First Public Speaking Competition

Two weeks ago, I participated in my first public speaking competition at the district level. I was both nervous and excited.

For weeks, I had prepared my speech about "The Importance of Reading" and practiced in front of my mirror countless times. On the day of the competition, I arrived at the venue early. I felt a knot in my stomach as I watched the other contestants, who looked very confident.

When my name was called, my heart pounded. I walked onto the stage, took a deep breath, and started my speech. Surprisingly, once I began to speak, my nervousness slowly faded away. I focused on delivering my message clearly and passionately. I even managed to smile a few times. I finished my speech with a strong conclusion and received a warm applause from the audience and judges.

I did not win the first prize, but I managed to secure the second runner-up position. More importantly, I overcame my fear of speaking in front of a crowd. It taught me that practice and courage are the keys to success.

The Clever Mouse Deer and the Crocodile

Once upon a time, in a jungle, there lived a very clever Mouse Deer named Kancil. One day, Kancil was very hungry, and he wanted to cross the river to get to the juicy fruits on the other side.

However, the river was full of dangerous crocodiles. Kancil thought hard for a moment. He then walked to the riverbank and shouted, "Crocodiles! Come out! I have a wonderful surprise for you!"

Suddenly, a big crocodile, named Buaya, poked his head out of the water. "What is it, Kancil? What surprise do you have?" Buaya asked lazily.

Kancil smiled slyly. "The King wants to hold a feast, and he asked me to count all the crocodiles in this river to make sure everyone gets a share of the meat. Line up across the river from bank to bank, and I will jump on your backs to count you quickly."

Buaya, excited about the meat, quickly gathered all his crocodile friends. They lined up neatly across the river. Kancil didn't waste any time. He leaped onto the back of the first crocodile, saying "One!", then jumped to the second, "Two!", and so on, until he reached the last crocodile near the opposite bank. "Ten! Thank you for the ride, friends!" Kancil shouted as he leaped onto the land and ran towards the juicy fruit trees, leaving the confused crocodiles behind.

What was Kancil's primary motivation for needing to cross the river?

The Fox and the Goat

One hot afternoon, a Fox was walking near a well. He was very thirsty, so he decided to drink from the well. Unfortunately, as he leaned over, he slipped and fell into the well. He kept shouting for help, but no one came.

Later, a Thirsty Goat came by and saw the Fox in the well. The Goat asked, "Hello! What are you doing down there? Is the water good?"

The clever Fox saw his chance to escape. He answered excitedly, "Yes! The water is the sweetest I've ever tasted, and there is so much of it! Come down quickly and try it yourself!"

The foolish Goat, without thinking, immediately jumped into the well. As soon as the Goat was down, the Fox quickly leaped onto the Goat's back, then jumped off the Goat's horns, and successfully climbed out of the well. The Fox immediately ran away, leaving the surprised Goat trapped inside.

The ride started perfectly. The wind was cool, and the new gear shifts worked smoothly. However, about halfway there, we found a steep, dusty shortcut that Rian suggested we take. I hesitated for a moment, but my excitement pushed me forward.

As I rode down the shortcut, the loose gravel made my front wheel wobble violently. I hit a hidden rock, and suddenly, I flew off the seat. I landed hard in the bushes. Rian rushed to me, looking worried. My bike was fine, but my ankle hurt terribly. We called my dad, who came and took me straight to the clinic. I spent the next two weeks with a mildly sprained ankle, regretting that shortcut decision.

The Fox and the Grapes

Once upon a time, there was a hungry Fox who was walking through a vineyard. He saw some beautiful, ripe grapes hanging high on a vine. The Fox said to himself, "Those grapes look delicious! I must eat them!"

He tried to reach them by jumping high. He jumped again and again, but the grapes were always just out of his reach. After many failed attempts, the Fox sat down under the vine, tired and disappointed.

A passing Rabbit asked the Fox, "Why are you so tired? Did you manage to eat the grapes?"

The Fox replied stubbornly, "I didn't eat them because they are sour. I don't want sour grapes!" The Fox then walked away, pretending he wasn't disappointed at all.

The Fox replied stubbornly, "I didn't eat them because they are sour."

My Embarrassing Moment

Last Monday, I had a really embarrassing moment during the physical education class (PE). We were playing football in the field.

First, I was running fast, trying to score a goal. The field was a bit wet after the rain. Next, when I kicked the ball really hard, I completely lost my balance and slipped!

Then, I fell down right into a small mud puddle. Everyone, including the teacher, stopped and looked at me. My uniform was covered in mud!

Finally, my friends rushed over to help me up, but they couldn't stop laughing. I felt my face turn bright red.

It was a little bit humiliating, but later my friends said it was the funniest moment of the week. I learned to be more careful when playing on a wet field!

The Secret of the Talking Tree

Once upon a time, in a small village, lived a boy named Arka. Arka loved exploring the forest behind his house. One sunny afternoon, he found a tree he had never seen before. It had left that glowed gold.

As Arka touched the bark, he heard a low voice say, "Welcome, traveler. I need your help!" Arka jumped back in surprise! The tree was talking! The tree explained that an evil shadow creature had stolen its voice box, leaving it unable to sing and make the flowers bloom.

First, the tree told Arka the shadow creature lived under the big waterfall. Next, Arka bravely ran to the waterfall and found the creature sleeping. Then, very carefully, Arka took the small wooden box (the voice box) from beside the creature. The creature didn't wake up!

Finally, Arka rushed back to the golden-leaf tree and placed the voice box back into a small hole in the trunk. The tree immediately burst into a beautiful song, and all the flowers in the forest bloomed instantly. Arka had saved the forest's magic.

Sometimes, the bravest people are those who dare to listen to the unexpected.
