Hidup Adalah Permainan, Jadilah Pemain Yang Cerdas

Dalam permainan terdapat aturan, tata tertib maupun regulasi. Dalam hidup pun demikian, ada aturan baik itu perundang-undangan atau hukum. Di dalam sebuah permainan ada misi yang harus dijalankan dan diselesaikan, di dalam hidup juga sama. Setiap orang yang hidup memiliki cita-cita, mereka memiliki misinya masing-masing. Di dalam permainan ada batasan waktu, misalnya saja permainan cabang olahraga seperti sepakbola, basket, dsb. Demikian pun dalam game komputer atau game android, ada tipe game yang dibatasi waktu. Nah ibarat sedang main game nih, orang hidup di dunia ini dibatasi oleh waktu yang bernama maut. Ya, maut atau kematianlah yang membatasi manusia beraktivitas mengejar mimpi-mimpinya di dunia. Jika ruh ini sudah terlepas dari raga maka tubuh ini tinggal sebagai jasad yang tak bernyawa (disebut mayat atau bangkai jika hewan). Dalam permainan kadang ada saatnya individual, kadang ada saatnya mengedepankan kerjasama tinggal jenis permainan apa yang ingin dimainkan. Misalnya cabang permainan catur maka dia bersifat individual sedangkan sepakbola dan permainan beregu lainnya membutuhkan kekompakkan tim. Game online yang bersifat kolektif, disana membutuhkan kerjasama dengan player lain. Di dalam hidup pun sama, kadang di saat tertentu kita berperan sebagai single fighter, pejuang yang mengandalkan kemandirian tidak tergantung pada orang lain. Namun di saat yang lain pula kita menjadi bagian tim yang tidak bisa terlepas dari bagian masyarakat sehingga harus memiliki sinergi untuk bahu-membahu bekerjasama. Di dalam permainan biasanya ada winner dan loser, jika misi gagal biasanya game over.
Di dalam hidup, meskipun tidak terlihat secara jelas sekali namun pemenang dan pecundang tetaplah ada. Contohnya orang yang berhasil mwujudkan cita-citanya bisa disebut sebagai pemenang, sebaliknya yang gagal ataupun terpuruk hidupnya disebut sebagai pecundang. Di dalam permainan menang dan kalah itu hal yang wajar, bisa dialami oleh siapa saja. Artinya hari ini bisa jadi ia menang, sedangkan di esok hari ia mengalami kekalahan. Kemenangan dan kekalahan seperti dipergilirkan. Di dalam realita kehidupan juga sama, orang yang kemarin menjadi pecundang, di hari berikutnya tidak mustahil ia akan menjadi pemenang tinggal apakah ia belajar dari kekalahan dan kesalahan yang ia perbuat atau tidak. Seperti peribahasa umum orang hidup itu kadang berada di atas kadang berada di bawah. Ketika berada di atas janganlah angkuh, sedangkan ketika dibawah janganlah berputus asa.
Jadilah Pemain Yang Cerdas
Pemain yang cerdas adalah pemain yang mampu membaca peluang untuk dioptimalkan menjadi keberhasilan. Kecerdasan dalam permainan bisa kecerdasan kolektif (terdiri dari pemain-pemain yang cerdas) juga bisa berupa kecerdasan individual. Selama pemain itu memposisikan dirinya dengan benar maka ia mampu totalitas dengan apa yang menjadi tugasnya. Seorang striker dalam permainan sepakbola harus bersifat agresif dan posisinya di lini depan atau daerah musuh, akan menjadi buruk manakala seorang striker berada di lini tengah bahkan barisan pertahanan. Lihatlah sejenak dalam fase/etape kehidupan kita sejak masa anak-anak, atau usia SD, SMP, SMA, kuliah, kerja, hingga berkeluarga, sudahkah memposisikan diri kita dengan benar? Ada kalanya kita berperan sebagai murid, anak, rekan kerja bahkan kepala rumah tangga. Dari ragam posisi yang kita pernah jalani itu sudahkah berperan secara optimal penuh kesungguhan dan tanggungjawab? Jika iya maka beruntunglah berarti permainan dalam kondisi aman, jika jawabannya tidak maka waspadalah dan berhati-hatilah karena orang yang teledor atau tidak amanah dengan posisinya akan membawa keburukan dalam permainan hidupnya.
Cara menjadi pemain yang cerdas adalah selalu banyak belajar dari pengalaman baik pengalaman keberhasilan ataupun pengalaman ketika mengalami kekalahan. Selama masih berada di bumi (dunia) maka label pemain masih kita sandang, musuh bisa datang kapanpun dalam bentuk ragam yang berbeda. Maksudnya adalah musuh dalam hidup itu ujian yang menghampiri manusia. Ujian tidak selamanya berupa musibah ataupun masalah ekonomi, masalah karir, dan masalah lainnya. Ketika di puncak kejayaanpun itu juga termasuk bentuk ujian. Sehingga kaya dan miskin juga bisa dikategorikan sebagai ujian. Orang kaya ujiannya dengan hartanya apakah harta yang dimilikinya bisa menolongnya di hari perhitungan amal atau justru menambah beban pertanggungjawaban. Orang miskin dengan kemiskinannya jelas ia mendapatkan ujian apakah keluh kesahnya itu menjauhkan dari rasa syukur terhadap nikmat dari Tuhan atau tidak. Sehingga orang cerdas adalah orang yang mampu menyikapi hidup secara proporsional dan dalam koridor agama yang baik. Kenapa membawa agama? Karena agama berkaitan dengan Tuhan dan keyakinan. Nah, ketika orang percaya dan mengimani keberadaan Tuhan yang Maha Esa maka ia menjalani hidup dengan koridor aturan yang telah Tuhan firmankan. Karena setelah kematian ada kehidupan, orang-orang yang mati akan dibangkitkan lagi. Sebagai firman Allah swt dalam QS Al Mujadilah ayat 6:
Pada hari ketika mereka dibangkitkan Allah semuanya, lalu diberitakan-Nya kepada mereka apa yang telah mereka kerjakan. Allah mengumpulkan (mencatat) amal perbuatan itu, padahal mereka telah melupakannya. Dan Allah Maha Menyaksikan segala sesuatu.

Sehingga keyakinan itu mengarah pada hal yang lebih jauh lagi bukan hanya sekedar hidup di dunia semata, namun untuk hidup setelah mati karena itulah yang kekal. Itu belum dialami manusia karena hari kiamat belum terjadi sehingga yang bisa manusia lakukan adalah mengimaninya dengan seyakin-yakinnya.
Pemain yang cerdas tidak mudah hilang konsentrasi dalam permainan ia harus fokus pada misi yang dijalankan. Orang hidup juga jangan mudah terlena, ia harus fokus dengan amanat sejatinya sebagai manusia. Meski ia hidup di dunia namun hidupnya di dunia itu disiapkan sebagai bekal setelah mati.
Dalam permainan itu menguras tenaga kadang juga menguras otak dan biaya. di dalam hidup juga sama. Orang-orang membanting tulang siang dan malam untuk mencari nafkah, menguras tenaga dan pikiran, setelah uang terkumpul ia gunakan kembali untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidup. Maka orang hidup juga bisa disebut menguras dan mengeluarkan banyak uang.
Oke, sedikit persamaan antara hidup dengan permainan, sehingga tidak ada salahnya menyimpulkan hidup adalah permainan. Sedangkan diluar persamaan masih banyak perbedaannya. Ini hanya mengingatkan kepada kita semua akan hak manusia untuk game over dari permainan atau selesai dari kehidupan. Janganlah buang-buang waktu dengan hal yang sia-sia. Saat ini lagi trending game online misal mobile legends atau game lainnya. Jangan-jangan kita pecandu jenis game ini. Nah, sudahkah yang kita lakukan sudah proporsional? Ataukah bermain game telah menyita menit bahkan jam-jam dalam umur kita? Waktu jika sudah terlewat tak akan bisa kembali, jam 3 sore hari ini sudah berbeda dengan jam 3 sore besok atau minggu depan. Bijaklah dengan waktu yang kita miliki. Mainkan "Game" sebagaimana mestinya, mainkan secara proporsional atau porsinya hanya sekedar penghilang jenuh. Bermain Game bukan sebagai hal pokok dalam jatah umur yang terbatas ini. Lakukan dan jalani the real game yakni kehidupan dunia untuk bekal akhirat.

  4. 4.Gesang Should hold a National Hero Status
    "Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it" and "A great nation is one which fully appreciates its heroes." say popular English aphorism and national adage. Then, proposing an important person who has taken a role in our nation history is important. I think Gesang should be a national hero.
    Who have never heard Bengawan Solo song? I doubt it if there is. This keroncong song has been a part of national voices. Gesang is a senior composer whose songs gained fame all the way to Japan. He has received a number of awards in art and everyone will admit that his art talent was dedicated to this nation.
    Government has declared the other great composer; WR. Suratman and Ismail Marzuki as national Heroes. Gesang might not be compared to others, but in my opinion, Gesang is as great as them. All of them are maestros. Due to his keroncong music maestro, Gesang has taken a role in building our national identity.
    It is obvious that government should name Gesang National Hero. We should not delay and wait for, in case, our neighbor countries or other international communities go a head to recognize him and grant an award for what he deserves.
    4.Gesang Harus Mendapatkan Status Pahlawan Nasional
    "Mereka yang tidak belajar dari sejarah dikutuk untuk mengulanginya" dan "A bangsa yang besar adalah salah satu yang sepenuhnya menghargai pahlawan." mengatakan pepatah bahasa Inggris populer dan pepatah nasional. Kemudian, mengusulkan orang penting yang telah mengambil peran dalam sejarah bangsa kita adalah penting. Saya pikir Gesang harus menjadi pahlawan nasional.
    Yang belum pernah mendengar lagu Bengawan Solo? Saya ragu jika ada. Lagu keroncong ini telah menjadi bagian dari suara nasional. Gesang adalah komposer senior yang yang mendapatkan ketenaran lagu sepanjang jalan ke Jepang. Dia telah menerima sejumlah penghargaan dalam seni dan semua orang akan mengakui bahwa bakat seninya didedikasikan untuk bangsa ini.
    Pemerintah telah menyatakan komposer besar lainnya; WR. Pahlawan nasional sebagai Suratman dan Ismail Marzuki. Gesang mungkin tidak dibandingkan dengan orang lain, tapi menurut saya, Gesang sama besar seperti mereka. Semua dari mereka adalah maestro. Karena maestro musik keroncong itu, Gesang telah mengambil peran dalam membangun identitas nasional kami.
    Hal ini jelas bahwa pemerintah harus nama Gesang Pahlawan Nasional. Kita tidak harus menunda dan menunggu, dalam kasus, negara-negara tetangga kita atau komunitas internasional lainnya pergi kepala untuk mengakui dia dan memberikan penghargaan untuk apa yang dia layak.

  5. 5.Tourism Benefit on Local People
    What is the benefit of tourism for local people? Well, Tourism is now a huge contributor to the economies of most countries. Tourism industries can bring money, job vacancy and advancement especially to developing regions. However, this money often goes into the pockets of foreign investors, and only rarely benefits for local people.
    Tourism industries will not give much benefit for local people if, for example, multinational hotel chains don't care about the surrounding nature when they build new hotels. This can cause many social, cultural and geographical problems. Some local people may get job and money from that International hotel chain. However in case of missing that opportunity, some of them still have their own environment.
    Moreover, some facts show that tourists tend to go, visit and spend their money in restaurants, bars and even luxury hotels of that multinational chains. They less go to such places; restaurant, bar, hotel, shop which are owned by local people. This can prevent the local people's business from becoming even larger.
    Most important thing, tours or excursions of tourism have little effect on nature. Even it can disrupt or destroy ecosystems and environments, and if it does, the local people will get the risk.
    So the local government policies should be put in place to ensure that tourism will make the benefit spreading widely. The policies should guarantee that tourism will not cause any harm to any local people or places.

    5. Manfaat Pariwisata pada Masyarakat Lokal
    Apa manfaat pariwisata bagi masyarakat lokal? Pariwisata Nah, sekarang menjadi kontributor besar terhadap perekonomian sebagian besar negara. Industri pariwisata dapat membawa uang, lowongan dan kemajuan terutama untuk daerah-daerah berkembang. Namun, uang ini sering masuk ke kantong investor asing, dan jarang manfaat bagi masyarakat setempat.
    Industri pariwisata tidak akan memberikan banyak manfaat bagi masyarakat lokal jika, misalnya, jaringan hotel multinasional tidak peduli tentang alam sekitarnya ketika mereka membangun hotel baru. Hal ini dapat menyebabkan banyak masalah sosial, budaya dan geografis. Beberapa orang lokal mungkin mendapatkan pekerjaan dan uang itu jaringan hotel Internasional. Namun dalam kasus hilang kesempatan itu, beberapa dari mereka masih memiliki lingkungan mereka sendiri.
    Selain itu, beberapa fakta menunjukkan bahwa wisatawan cenderung untuk pergi, mengunjungi dan menghabiskan uang mereka di restoran, bar dan hotel bahkan kemewahan yang rantai multinasional. Mereka kurang pergi ke tempat-tempat seperti; restoran, bar, hotel, toko yang dimiliki oleh orang-orang lokal. Hal ini dapat mencegah bisnis masyarakat lokal dari menjadi lebih besar.
    Yang paling penting hal, wisata atau kunjungan pariwisata memiliki sedikit efek pada alam. Bahkan dapat mengganggu atau merusak ekosistem dan lingkungan, dan jika tidak, masyarakat akan mendapatkan risiko.
    Jadi kebijakan pemerintah daerah harus diletakkan di tempat untuk memastikan bahwa pariwisata akan membuat saling penyebaran secara luas. Kebijakan harus menjamin bahwa pariwisata tidak akan menyebabkan kerusakan apapun kepada orang lokal atau tempat.

  7. 6.Removing Lead From Patrol
    In all the discussion over the removal of lead from petrol (and the atmosphere) there doesn't seem to have been any mention of the difference between driving in the city and the country.
    While I realize my leaded petrol car is polluting the air wherever I drive, I feel that when you travel through the country, where you only see the another car every five to ten minutes, the problem is not as severe as when traffic is concentrated on city roads.
    Those who want to penalize older, leaded petrol vehicles and their owners don't seem to appreciate that, in the country, there is no public transport to fall back upon and one's own vehicle is the only way to get about.
    I feel that the country people, who often have to travel huge distances to the nearest town and who already spend a great deal of money on petrol, should be treated differently to the people who live in the city.
    6.Removing Timbal Dari Patroli
    Dalam semua diskusi selama penghapusan timbal dari bensin (dan suasana) ada tampaknya tidak telah penyebutan perbedaan antara mengemudi di kota dan negara.
    Sementara aku menyadari mobil bensin bertimbal saya mencemari udara di mana pun saya pergi, saya merasa bahwa ketika Anda melakukan perjalanan melalui negara, di mana Anda hanya melihat mobil lain setiap lima sampai sepuluh menit, masalahnya tidak separah ketika lalu lintas terkonsentrasi pada jalan kota.
    Mereka yang ingin menghukum tua, kendaraan bensin bertimbal dan pemiliknya tampaknya tidak menghargai itu, di negara ini, tidak ada angkutan umum untuk jatuh kembali pada dan satu kendaraan sendiri adalah satu-satunya cara untuk mendapatkan sekitar.
    Saya merasa bahwa orang-orang negara, yang sering harus melakukan perjalanan jarak besar ke kota terdekat dan yang sudah menghabiskan banyak uang pada bensin, harus diperlakukan berbeda dengan orang-orang yang tinggal di kota.

  8. 7.Learning English through music and songs is Fun
    Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language learning.
    Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.
    Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample.
    Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.
    In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.
    Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.
    From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.
    7.Belajar bahasa Inggris melalui musik dan lagu menyenangkan
    Belajar Bahasa Inggris melalui musik dan lagu bisa sangat menyenangkan. Anda dapat mencampur kesenangan dengan belajar ketika Anda mendengarkan lagu dan mengeksploitasi lagu sebagai sarana untuk kemajuan bahasa Inggris Anda. Beberapa alasan yang mendasari dapat ditarik untuk mendukung ide mengapa kita menggunakan lagu dalam pembelajaran bahasa.
    Pertama, "lagu terjebak dalam kepala saya" Fenomena (yang bergema dalam pikiran kita dari lagu terakhir kami mendengar setelah meninggalkan restoran, pusat perbelanjaan, dll) dapat menjadi menyenangkan dan kadang-kadang menakutkan. Fenomena ini juga tampaknya memperkuat gagasan bahwa lagu bekerja pada memori jangka pendek dan panjang.
    Kedua, lagu pada umumnya juga menggunakan bahasa percakapan sederhana, dengan banyak pengulangan, yang hanya apa yang banyak peserta didik mencari teks sampel. Fakta bahwa mereka efektif membuat mereka banyak kali lebih memotivasi daripada teks lain. Meskipun biasanya sederhana, beberapa lagu dapat sintaksis cukup kompleks, leksikal dan puitis, dan dapat dianalisis dengan cara yang sama seperti sampel sastra lainnya.
    Selanjutnya, lagu dapat disesuaikan dengan pendengar untuk tujuan mereka sendiri. Kebanyakan lagu-lagu pop dan mungkin banyak jenis lainnya tidak memiliki orang yang tepat, tempat atau referensi waktu.
    Selain itu, lagu-lagu yang santai. Mereka menyediakan berbagai dan menyenangkan, dan mendorong keharmonisan dalam diri sendiri dan dalam satu kelompok. Tak heran mereka adalah alat penting dalam mempertahankan budaya, agama, patriotisme dan yeas, bahkan revolusi.
    Last but not least, ada banyak kegiatan pembelajaran yang dapat kita lakukan dengan lagu-lagu seperti mempelajari tata bahasa, berlatih mendengarkan pemahaman selektif, menerjemahkan lagu, belajar kosa kata, ejaan dan budaya.
    Dari uraian di atas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa belajar melalui musik dan lagu, belajar bahasa Inggris dapat menjadi menyenangkan dan menyenangkan

  9. 8. Why you should eat breakfast
    A lot of people, especially young people, go through the day without having breakfast. Many people believe that it is not necessary, or they say that they don’t have time for that, and begin their day with no meal. I believe that everyone should eat breakfast before going to their activities. The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of breakfast, especially for students.
    The first reason why you should eat breakfast before going to school is for your health. When you skip breakfast and go to school, you are looking for a disease because it’s not healthy to have an empty stomach all day long. It’s very important to have a meal and not let your stomach work empty. All you are going to get is gastritis and a lot of problems with your health if you don’t eat breakfast.
    Another reason for eating breakfast is because you need food for to do well in your classes. You body and your brain are not going to function as good as they could because you have no energy and no strength. When you try to learn something and have nothing in your stomach, you are going to have a lot of trouble succeeding. A lot of people think that they should not eat because they are going to feel tired, but that’s not true. Breakfast is not a very big meal, and on the contrary, you’re going to feel tired if you don’t have breakfast
    The last reason to have breakfast every day is because you can avoid diseases if you eat some breakfast in the morning. If you don’t eat, you are going to get sick, and these diseases will have a stronger effect on you because you’re going to get sick easier than people who have breakfast every day.
    You have to realize that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and you cannot skip it without consequences for your health, your school and your defense mechanism. It is better to wake up earlier and have a good breakfast that run to school without eating anything. It is time for you to do something for your health, and eating breakfast is the better.

  10. 9. Why You Should Not Smoke
    I am sure that you know that smoking harms your body. Then why do you continue smoking? Maybe you do it because you haven’t really become conscious about all the effects that smoking has. There are a lot of reasons why you shouldn’t smoke. Some of them are that smoking affects your health, that you spend a lot of money on cigarettes, and that when you smoke you are not respecting people around you.
    The first reason why you shouldn’t smoke is that smoking affects your health. If you smoke, your physical condition will be negatively affected, so it will be very difficult for you to succeed in sports. Also, smoking produces lethal diseases like cancer and reduces the length and quality of your life. Maybe you don’t notice all the physical effects of smoking immediately, but you surely will be sorry one day.
    The second reason why you shouldn’t smoke is because of all the money that you spend on it. Maybe you start smoking only when someone offers you a cigarette, but there will be a day when you will feel the need of a cigarette. By this time, you will pay whatever to smoke, and each time you will smoke more, so you will spend more money. All the money you would spend on cigars could have be spent in something better, don’t you think?
    The last reason why you shouldn’t smoke is out of respect for the people around you. When you smoke, you not only harm yourself, but you also harm all the people around you. So you mustn’t be selfish; you should at least avoid smoking in front of people who don’t smoke. Also, many people don’t like the cigarette’s smell, so they won’t enjoy your company. Would you like that?
    I have said just some reasons of why you shouldn’t smoke, so I hope that now those of you who smoke are able to think a little and try to make a smart decision. In addition to all the reasons I’ve said, I would like you to think about how much you love yourself and then whether you want to continue harming yourself. Think also about all the people who love you, like your family who doesn’t want to see you suffering or sick. If you decide to continue smoking, what a pity. But if you decide to stop smoking, congratulations! Remember that "If you can dream it, you can do it.

  11. 10. Why People Should Exercise
    In the past, I have never been inclined to participate in sports. Honestly, I didn’t like it, but many persons whom I lived with kept telling me everyday how good it was. Since the peer pressure was growing, I decided to go to the gym. It wasn’t until then that I could really understand people when they said exercise really helped a person get organized and keep yourself in a healthy physically and mentally.
    For starters, when you are a lazy person, it is difficult to take the first step, but it is all a matter of committing yourself to something that will provide you a lot of positive feedback. Once you start doing exercise and observing positive results, you actually enjoy it. It takes a lot of effort and strong will, but it's worth it. The principal thing to do is to participate in an activity you like. If you do you’ll start organizing your day in a way that enables you to do everything you have to, including exercising. You will no longer be a person stressed-out without time to carry on with all your activities.
    Second, it is obvious that once you exercise you will have a better condition. You will be healthier in a physical way. It is probable that you will lose weight and your muscles will get stronger and stronger. Your body will feel good, full of energy and it will respond immediately to any action you want to do, any activity that has to be done with high spirits.
    The third reason why exercising is good is that it affects you positively in a mental and psychological way. Doing exercise helps you set specific goals which along with strong will can be achieved. When you do that, you are aware of your abilities, accept your weaknesses, and your self-esteem goes up. Any sport distracts you because it helps you not to think about school, friends, problems, among other things. It brings you time to think about yourself and no one else. It helps you keep your mind busy and to avoid dangerous habits like drugs.

    Doing exercise is very important to any person of any age. The positive effects of exercising, which I’ve already mentioned, are like a chain. Once you do a sports activity that you like, you get organized; therefore, you start doing things the right way and get enormous benefits which make you feel good as a whole human being. You start living your life happily.

  12. 11. How To Use The Internet Should Be Required
    In this age of technology all students in the Montana University System should be required to learn Internet use, and there should be a course to teach it as a core requirement.
    The first reason is going to school in the twenty-first century almost all classes require some computer use. Every time you go to the library at M.S.U.C.O.T, you need to know how to go online as there are very few books anymore, and almost everything is on the Web.
    Following that when you go to find a job, more and more companies are using computers. It’s getting almost impossible to find a job that dosen’t require computer skills of some sort. One of the big things is communications within the company. Most companies use electronic communications of some sort, such as e-mail or memos on line.
    Even the jobs people used to think of as unskilled labors such as a mechanic are using computers. All cars built today have a computer built into them. The mechanic uses it to figure out what’s wrong with your car, then a lot of time they go online to find out the beat way to fix it faster, saving time and money.
    Some people might say that the courses that need to have computer skills have them built into them, but I say we should get a jump on the future and have all students learn the internet. If people don’t learn it, they will fall behind in the job market and in life.

  13. 11. Mengetahui Cara Menggunakan Internet Itu Keharusan
    Pada era teknologi saat ini, semua mahasiswa di Universitas Montana diminta untuk belajar menggunakan Internet, dan harus ada mata kulia tentang cara menggunakan Internet sebagi mata kuliah wajib. Alasan pertama adalah bahwa kuliah pada abad kedua puluh satu ini menharuskan punya pengetahuan pemanfaatan kompueter pada hampir semua kelas yang diberikan. Setiap kali kalian pergi ke perpustakaan, kalian seharusnya mengetahui bagaimana untuk belajr secara online karena hanya sangat sedikit saja buku yang tersedia secara fisik, dan hampir semuanya ada dalam bentuk Website.
    Kemudian ketika kalia mau mencari pekerjaan, semakin banyak perusahaan yang menggunakan komputer. Hampir mustahil mendapatkan jenis pekerjaan yang tidak mensyaratkan keterampilan komputer. Salah satunya adalahurusan komunikasi. Sebagian besar perusahaan menggunakan komunikasi elektronik dengan berbagai macam bentuknya, seperti e-mail atau memo Online.
    Bahkan jenis-jenis pekerjaan yang dulunya dikelompokkan sebagai “unskilled labour”, tenaga kerja tidak berktrampilan tingkat tinggi seperti perbengkelan saat ini justru harus menggunakan komputer. Semua mobil yang diproduksi hari ini justru memasukkan komponen koputer didalamnya. Para montir menggunakan komputer itu untuk mencari tahu apa yang salah dengan mobil tersebut. Para montir tersebut bergelut dengan media Online untuk mencari tahu cara memperbaikinya engan lebih cepat, sehingga bisa menghemat waktu dan uang.
    Beberapa orang mungkin berpikir bahawa kemampuan menggunakan komputer itu sudah melekat pada semua mata kuliah yang telah diberikan selama ini, tapi saya harus katakan bahwa kita harus melakukan lompatan ke masa depan dan mengharuskan semua maha siswa belajar internet. Jika orang tidak belajar Internet, mereka akan tertinggal dibelakang dalam dunia kerja dan kehidupan.

  17. 14. Ozone Destruction Because of Global Warming
    Currently we are facing a big problem that can threaten human existence. The problem is global warming. Global warming is the rising of earth’s temperature average abnormally. This phenomenon will lead to the depletion of ozone’s layer in earth’s atmosphere. The ozone’s layer which is supposed to protect us from sun’s ray now starts to perforate so that the sun’s rays directly will light us. This will endanger life of all creatures on earth. The destruction of ozone layer in atmospheres can be caused by our activities that we unknowingly harm us. What’s cause ozone destruction? The following are factors that can damage ozone:
    The first is the use of a motor vehicle which is too much. The development in the field of transportation turned out to be one of the factors causing ozone destruction. We are very addicted on motor vehicle now. We don’t realize that the use of motor vehicle will produce combustion gases such as CO and CO2. These gases will be collected and settle in atmospheres so that it scrapes ozone’s layer gradually. The more motor vehicle used the more CO and CO2 gas will be produced. Consequently, the destruction of ozone will be happened sooner.
    The second is illegal logging. This irresponsible act is done by greedy and irresponsible human being. They continue to cut trees on their behalf without knowing the importance of trees for this earth. Though tree can convert gases CO2 into O2 which are very important for us. Without trees gases CO and CO2 will be increase more and more. Of course this will fasten ozone destruction.
    The third is the development of the industry. The rapid industry development also accelerates the damage of ozone layer. Many factories were established, especially in big cities produce fumes which are very dangerous. Similar to motor vehicle’s fumes, factory’s smoke will also produce gases CO and CO2.
    The fourth is the use of fossil fuels. Today, Human prefers use fossil fuels such as kerosene, gasoline, diesel and others. Fossil fuels are used in all aspects of human life such as household, office and industry. They do not consider that every use of fossil fuels will produce harmful gases for the ozone layer.
    The last is the Use of CFCs (Chloro Fluro Carbon). CFC gases are gases which are generated from the use of spray cans (Aerosol) as perfume, Refrigerator, Air Conditioner and solvent substances. CFC gases that accumulate in the atmosphere will decompose when exposed to ultraviolet light and turn into chlorine atoms which are substances ozone destroyer.
    Based on the discussion above, we can conclude that the destruction of ozone’s layer is as the result of our own actions. Therefore let us stop ruining ozone and keep our protective layer by reducing the use of motor vehicles, looking for alternative sources of energy that are friendly for environmental, reducing the use of tools that produce CFCs and doing reforestation. With the preservation of the ozone layer, we will be safe from the sun’s ray which is very dangerous.

  18. 14. Rusaknya Lapisan Ozon karena Global Warming
    Saat ini kita menghadapi masalah besar yang dapat mengancam keberadaan manusia. masalah besar ini adalah global warming. Global warming adalah menaiknya suhu rata-rata permukaan bumi secara tidak normal. Fenomena ini akan menyebabkan menipisnya lapisan ozone di atmoshper bumi. Lapisan ozon yang seharusnya melindungi kita dari sinar langsung matahari kini mulai berlubang sehingga sinar matahari langsung mengenai kita. hal ini akan membahayakan kehidupan semua makhluk di bumi. Rusaknya lapisan ozon di athmospher dapat disebabkan oleh aktivitas-aktivitas manusia sendiri yang tanpa kita sadari membahayakan kita. apa saja yang menyebabkan rusaknya lapisan ozone? berikut adalah beberapa hal yang kita lakukan yang dapat merusak lapisan ozone:
    Yang pertama adalah penggunaan kendaraan bermotor yang terlalu banyak. kemajuan di dalam bidang transportasi ini ternyata merupakan salah satu faktor penyebab rusaknya lapisan ozone. Kita sangat tergantung dengan kendaraan bermotor. Tanpa kita sadari penggunaan kendaraan bermotor akan menghasilkan gas-gas hasil pembakaran seperti CO dan CO2. Gas-gas ini akan terkumpul dan mengendap di athmosphere sehingga mengikis lapisan ozone. Semakin banyak kendaraan bermotor semakin banyak pula gas CO dan CO2 yang dihasilkan. Akibatnya semakin cepat pula perusakan lapisan ozone ini.
    Yang kedua adalah penebangan hutan liar. Perbuatan yang sangat tidak bertanggung jawab ini dilakukan oleh manusia-manusia yang rakus tidak bertanggung jawab. Mereka terus menebang pohon yang ada demi kepentingan mereka tanpa mengetahui betapa pentingnya pohon untuk bumi ini. Padahal pohon bisa mengubah gas-gas CO2 menjadi O2 yang sangat penting buat kita. Tanpa adanya pohon gas-gas CO dan CO2 akan semakin banyak. tentunya hal ini akan mempercepat kerusakan Ozone.
    Yang ketiga adalah perkembangan industry. perkembangan industry yang sangat pesat juga ikut mempercepat kerusakan lapisan ozone. Banyak pabrik-pabrik yang berdiri terutama di kota-kota besar dan menghasilakn asap-asap hasil produksi yang sangat berbahaya. Sama halnya dengan asap kendaraan bermotor, asap pabrik ini juga menghasilakn gas-gas CO dan CO2.
    Yang keempat adalah penggunaan bahan bakar fosil. manusia saat ini sangat tergantung dengan penggunaan bahan bakar fosil seperti Minyak tanah, bensin, solar dan lain-lain. Bahan bakar fosil ini digunakan di semua aspek kehidupan manusia seperti keperluan rumah tangga, perkantoran dan industry. setiap penggunan bahan bakar fosil akan menghasilkan gas-gas berbahaya buat lapisan ozone.
    Yang terakhir adalah Pengunaan gas CFC (Kloro Fluro Karbon). Gas CFC merupakan gas-gas yang dihasilkan dari penggunaan kaleng-kaleng penyemprot (Aerosol) seperti farfume, Lemari Es, Air Conditioner dan zat-zat pelarut. Gas CFC yang menumpuk di atmosphere tersebut akan terurai apabila terkena sinar ultra violet dan berubah menjadi atom klorin yang merupakan zat penghancur ozon.
    Berdasarkan diskusi diatas, kita bisa menyimpulkan bahwa Perusakan lapisan ozon merupakan hasil dari perbuatan kita sendiri. oleh karena itu marilah kita berhenti merusak dan menjaga lapisan pelindung kita ini dengan cara mengurangi penggunaan kendaraan bermotor, mencari sumber alternative energy yang ramah lingkungan, mengurangi penggunaan alat-alat yang menghasilkan CFC dan melakukan Reboisasi. dengan terjaganya lapisan ozone kita, kita akan selamat dari sinar matahari yang sangat berbahaya.

  19. 15. Let’s Make City Clean and Fresh
    A clean and fresh city will surely make the inhabitantshealthy. Every morningespecially in dry season, all roads must be watered with clean water and swept by the workers of the regionalgovernment under the Major’s instruction.
    To keep the people from heavy pollution caused by cars, trucks andmotorcycles, enough trees must be planted along all roads. Every building or house in the city must be surrounded short and small trees which bear colorful flower.
    Bad and improper habits which cause disadvantages, bad smell and dangerous diseases to people such as smoking and throwing rubbish anywhere should be stopped at once.
    The major of each city will have to think over the way how to educate people, so that they realize on how important cleanliness and health are for their own sake. Building more public lavatories at every busy place is very badly needed.
    It will be wise if the Major decides a certain amount of fine to be paid by those who disobey the government regulation on cleanliness matter. A man who urinate not at lavatory, smoke not at smoking room or throw rubbish at the roads should be fined for instance. Besides dirtying the environment with cigarettes’ butts, smoking will also cause pollution and lungs disease to other people.
    So bad habits and impolite attitude should be immediately stopped, otherwise the city will be dirty, unhealthy badly polluted and will never attract foreign or domestic tourist.
    15. Mari Membuat Kota Bersih dan Segar
    Sebuah kota yang bersih dan segar pasti akan membuat inhabitantshealthy tersebut. Setiap morningespecially di musim kemarau, semua jalan harus disiram dengan air bersih dan tersapu oleh pekerja dari regionalgovernment bawah instruksi Mayor.
    Untuk menjaga orang-orang dari polusi berat yang disebabkan oleh mobil, truk andmotorcycles, cukup pohon harus ditanam di sepanjang semua jalan. Setiap bangunan atau rumah di kota harus dikelilingi pohon-pohon pendek dan kecil yang menanggung bunga berwarna-warni.
    Kebiasaan buruk dan tidak tepat yang menyebabkan kerugian, bau dan penyakit berbahaya untuk orang seperti merokok dan membuang sampah di mana saja harus dihentikan sekaligus.
    Utama dari masing-masing kota harus memikirkan cara bagaimana untuk mendidik masyarakat, sehingga mereka menyadari tentang betapa pentingnya kebersihan dan kesehatan untuk kepentingan mereka sendiri. Membangun toilet lebih umum di setiap tempat yang sibuk sangat sangat dibutuhkan.
    Ini akan menjadi bijaksana jika Mayor memutuskan sejumlah denda yang harus dibayar oleh mereka yang tidak mematuhi peraturan pemerintah tentang masalah kebersihan. Seorang pria yang buang air kecil tidak di WC, merokok tidak di ruang merokok atau membuang sampah di jalan-jalan harus didenda misalnya. Selain mengotori lingkungan dengan puntung rokok ', merokok juga akan menyebabkan polusi dan paru-paru penyakit kepada orang lain.
    Kebiasaan begitu buruk dan sikap sopan harus segera dihentikan, jika tidak kota akan menjadi kotor, tidak sehat buruk tercemar dan tidak akan pernah menarik wisatawan asing atau domestik

    Malin Kundang

    A long time ago, in a small village near the beach in West Sumatra, a woman and her son lived. They were Malin Kundang and her mother. Her mother was a single parent because Malin Kundang’s father had passed away when he was a baby. Malin Kundang had to live hard with his mother.

    Malin Kundang was a healthy, dilligent, and strong boy. He usually went to sea to catch fish. After getting fish he would bring it to his mother, or sold the caught fish in the town.

    One day, when Malin Kundang was sailing, he saw a merchant’s ship which was being raided by a small band of pirates. He helped the merchant. With his brave and power, Malin Kundang defeated the pirates. The merchant was so happy and thanked to him. In return the merchant asked Malin Kundang to sail with him. To get a better life, Malin Kundang agreed. He left his mother alone.

    Snow White

    One day, there was a queen sitting near a very beautiful window while tailoring and seeing the snow. Accidentally, her finger was pierced by a sewing needle so that three drops of blood dripped out. The drops of blood fell down on the snow. The red color of the blood which was stuck in the white of the snow looked very pretty. Suddenly the queen thought “If only i had a child whose skin were as white as snow and whose lips were as red as blood”.

    As the time went by, finally a queen gave birth of a very pretty princess whose skin was as white as snow and whose lips were as red as blood. The queen grew up as a very pretty and kind-hearted girl. She was called Snow White. However, when Snow White was about teenager, the queen died because of an illness. After the queen’s death, the king married again. This new queen was wicked and hated Snow white. The queen gave orders that Snow White was to be treated as a servant.

    Everyday the queen stood in front of her magic mirror while asking “Who is the most beautiful woman in the land?” and the mirror always answered, “You are the most beautiful one of all.” The new queen asked the same question everyday and the mirror always answered the same thing. But one day the mirror answered that the queen was so beautiful but Snow White was much more beautiful than the queen. It made the queen so angry that she gave orders to one of her Huntsmen to take Snow White into the woods and kill her.

    The Huntsman had such a kind heart that he couldn’t do the deed. He told her to run away. In her fleeing into the woods, she found a place in which seven dwarfs lived. Their house was small and strange. Snow White entered the little house and found it very untidy. Then, she started to clean up the entire house. In the upstairs she found seven little beds. She was so exhausted that she stretched out on one of the beds. Not long after that, she was asleep on the bed.

    When the Dwarfs came home they were surprised to find Snow White and after some argument, decided to let her stay. She promised to cook and look after them. She lived there together happily.

    Unfortunately, The Queen discovered the place where Snow White was living and disguising herself as a witch. She then took a poisoned apple and set out for the Dwarfs cottage. She gave Snow White the poisoned apple to eat and as soon as she bit the apple, she sank into unconsciousness.

    Thinking she was dead, the Dwarfs built a glass coffin and put her in it. For days she lay in the forest in her glass coffin. One day, the Prince was riding through the forest looking for Snow White and found her. He leaned over and kissed her. She opened her eyes and sat up with a smile. Everyone was happy at that time. The Prince took Snow White to his palace where they were married and lived happily ever after.

    She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun Emas. The farmers were happy. Timun Emas was very healthy and a very smart girl. She was also very diligent. When she was a teenager Buta Ijo came to their house. Timun Emas was frightened so she ran away to hide. The farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun Emas was still a child. They asked him to postpone. Buta Ijo agreed. He promised to come again. The following year Buta Ijo came again. But again and again their parents said that Timun Emas was still a child.

    When the third time Buta Ijo came their parents had prepared something for him. They gave Timun Emas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing and salt.

    ‘Timun, take these things’

    ‘What are these things?’

    ‘These are your weapons. Buta Ijo will chase you. He will eat you alive. So run as fast as you can. And if he will catch you spread this to the ground. Now go!’

    Timun Emas was scared so she ran as quickly as she could. When Buta Ijo arrived she was far from home. He was very angry when he realized that his prey had left. So he ran to chase her. He had a sharp nose so he knew what direction his prey ran.

    Timun Emas was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he could easily catch her up. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas quickly spread the seeds of cucumber. In seconds they turned into many vines of cucumber. The exhausted Buta Ijo was very thirsty so he grabbed and ate them. When Buta Ijo was busy eating cucumber Timun Emas could run away.

    But soon Buta Ijo realized and started running again. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas threw her bamboo needles. Soon they turned into dense bamboo trees. Buta Ijo found it hard to pass. It took him some time to break the dense bamboo forest. Meanwhile Timun Emas could run farther.

    Buta Ijo chased her again. When he almost catch her again and again Timun Emas threw her dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing her.

    Finally when Timun Emas was almost caught she threw her salt. Soon the land where Buta Ijo stood turned into ocean. Buta Ijo was drowned and died instantly. Timun Emas was thankful to god and came back to her home.

We arrived at Yogyakarta at night. We spent a week staying in my grandmother’s house which is 5 minutes away by foot to Malioboro street.

    In the first morning, we were still too tired after a long trip from Semarang to Yogyakarta. So we decided to stay at home to recharge our energy. I walk around the neighborhood with my sister just to experience how it is like to be in Yogyakarta. There were too many house, I think, which made the space between a house and the other was so small, even the road was also small that only bicycle and motorcycle can go through.

    On the second day, all of us went to Malioboro street. We saw so many merchant with various of product which they claim to be a traditional product of Yogyakarta. I bought some wooden figurine and T-shirt with the word “Yogyakarta” printed on it, while my sister bought some leather handbag.

  35. 26baris Fishing at The River

    When I was in Junior High School, my father once took me to go fishing with him at the river on Sunday morning. The river lies across our oil palm plantation. We had breakfast first at home and then left early in the morning by motorcycle.

    When we arrived in our plantation, my father parked the motorcycle under the hut. He asked me to collect some dry wood and dry grass or leaves. When I already collected enough wood and dry leaves, my father set a fire in the center of the fireplace. He said that the smoke from the fire would scare some dangerous animal like bear and boar to come closer to the hut and so it would make us safer.

    After cleaning some wild grass around the hut, my father gave me a hoe and asked me to dig some soil to find worms. When I already had enough worm, I brought it to my father and we went straight to the river. We put the worm on the fishing hook as a bait to catch the fish. As a beginner fisher, I cannot apply the worm on the fishing hook well, and it look like it was about to fall of the hook, but my father said that it was okay. I threw the fishing hook into the river and wait for the fish to eat the bait, but nothing happened after a while. When I was about to get bored I saw a big prawn was slowly walking in the water. I placed the fishing hook slowly into the face of the prawn and move it up and down so the worm seemed alive. I never expected it to happen but suddenly the prawn move its hand and grabbed the worm on my fishing hook. I lift it very slowly and the prawn was still there hanging tight on the worm until I placed it on the ground and I caught it right away with my hands. My father was so surprise to see it. Before we went home, we cooked it at the hut and enjoyed it together.

Richie paid for our ticket, he said it was a treat for me of his first salary as a medic in the hospital. I thanked him.

    We handed over the ticket to the gate keeper and he allowed us to enter. After that went to a counter where we took the key for our locker. In this counter, we need to give them something as the assurance if we want to use the locker, so we gave them our car’s key. They said that we will get the car’s key back when we return the locker key. After that we went to the locker room, where we changed our clothes and get ready to swim.

We spent only 1 day in Thailand, but I already experience a lot of new things.

We went straight to the receptionist and booked a room for tonight and tomorrow. The receptionist gave us a card that we can use as a key to unlock our room. We went to our room and took a quick shower, change our clothes and then went down to the lobby again.

    From the lobby, we went out to the street. My father order a ride to a local driver. It looked like a becak motor but a lot bigger and the people called it “tuk-tuk”. My father asked the driver to take us to Chatuchak Market and find us a restaurant that served Halal food for Moslem. Then we arrived at a small restaurant which turned out to be owned by Indonesian. The owner was very nice, he gave us a free meal when we were about to left his restaurant. He said that it was for our breakfast, just in case we couldn’t find any Halal food at the hotel. My father thanked him and ask to exchange their phone number. Before we went back to the hotel, my father took me around the Chatuchak Market. I saw so many toys that I have never seen before in Indonesia. My father bought me one of those toys, it was rubber chicken. It was so funny, because when we squeeze it, it will make sound just like rooster. After that we went back to the hotel and go to bed.

  39. 16baris Lazy Day

    Last weekend I spent all day laying on my bed. It was just like the Lazy Song by Bruno Mars, “today I don’t feel like doing anything” hehe. But sometimes doing nothing was just something that we needed the most, especially after a long and super exhausted week at the office.

    It was Sunday and I woke up at 9 a.m in the morning. I looked around me and I saw a new comic book that I just bought yesterday laying next to my Macbook. I try to dragged it closer to me by using my foot, and then I pick it with my hand. I unwrapped the comic and start reading it. When I just reached the middle of the story, I felt thirsty so I got up of my super comfortable bed and walk out the room. I walked down the stairs right to the kitchen.

    I opened the fridge and I found a bottle full of chill orange juice. I opened the bottle and pour the orange juice into a glass. When I checked my fridge, I saw that I still have a leftover Pizza from yesterday, so I decided to reheat it in my microwave. So I sat in the kitchen for a while waiting the Pizza to be ready. When the timer of the microwave is off, I pick the Pizza up and put it on my plate. I took my orange juice and my Pizza and brought them back into my lair. I enjoy the Pizza and the orange juice and continue reading my comic book. After that I decided to watch my favorite K-drama on my Macbook, so I set my portable laptop desk on my bed. This way, I can watch my favorite show without having to leave my super cozy bed

    When the other animals came back with their catch they found a very ashamed Tiger without a single fish. Kancil scolded him until he became red in the face. Now it was Elephant’s turn to play guard.
    “You are so big. Friend Elephant. Certainly, we can trust you to defend our fish,” said Kancil.
    For the third time the giant came to eat the fish. When Elephant saw how big he was, he became afraid and let the giant steal their fish. Kancil and the others came back, they found the basket empty again. Kancil was very angry with his three friends. He shouted, “What’s the use of having such big and strong bodies, if you can’t even chase away one single giant. This time I will stay here myself. Do you think I am too small to do this job? Go away , the three of you, and catch as a many fish as you can. When you come back, you will find that robber lying here in front of me, bound and helpless.”
    Narrative Text Fable - Kancil and the giant Story
    After Swine, Tiger and Elephant had gone away, Kancil plucked a big bunch of reeds from the river side. He tied these reeds around his body. Then lying down under the nearest tree, he bound the reed ends to the roots of the tree. He was very busy tying himself when the giant came. Kancil pretended not to see him and went on with his work. The giant became curious and instead of grabbing the fish he stopped to look sown at Kancil and asked what he was doing.

    Don’t you know what is going happen today?” asked Kancil in a surprised tone.
    “What is going to happen today?” asked the giant curiously.
    “I thought everybody knew about it,” answered Kancil. “You must have been asleep when Nabi Sulaiman came into the forest to warn all the animals about the big flood. The big flood will carry everybody away to the see, unless he takes precaution to be safe.”
    “Oh, I have not heard about this flood,” answered the giant, who believe every word Kancil said, “Tell me, what do you do to avoid being carried away?”
    “Don’t you see what I am doing” said Kancil. “I bind myself to these roots, so that the water will not drag me away

    “That’s a very good idea,” said the stupid giant. “Won’t you help me a little?”
    “Why not? I am always ready to help somebody in need,” answered Kancil. “But these reeds are not strong enough to hold your heavy body. Why don’t you go into the forest and collect a big bunch of thick rattan? I shall wait for you here. But hurry, we don’t have much time as the flood will come soon after noon.”
    Narrative Text Fable - Kancil and the giant Story

    The stupid giant, afraid of losing his life, ran into the woods and soon came back with a big load of rattan. Kancil told him to bind his own legs tightly together with the rattan, then sit with his back against a big tree so that Kancil could help him tie his body against the tree trunk. The giant did everything Kancil said. Soon he was sitting boud and helpless against the tree. To be completely safe, Kancil wound several more pieces of rattan round him so that the giant could hardly move.

    Then the clever little animal called out to his friends who were still busy catching fish some distance away. Swine, Tiger and Elephant did not have much trouble killing their enemy.
    Of course, Kancil did not tell them that he had tricked the giant, and the other three animals thought that he had fought with him. They all admired his enormous strength. They gave Kancil the biggest share of the fish, and after having finished their meal each of them went his own way.

    Yesterday my family went to the zoo to see the elephant and other animal. When we got to the zoo, we went to the shop to buy some food to give to the animals.

    After getting the food we went to the nocturnal house where we saw birds and reptiles which only come out at night.

    Before lunch we went for a ride on the elephant. It was a thrill to ride it. Dad nearly fell off when he let go of the rope. During lunch we fed some birds in the park. In the afternoon we saw the animals being fed.

    Watching Movie

    My sister and I went to see a film last night. It was an American movie called The Lost Flight. It showed how people can quickly change when they have to look after themselves in the jungle. It was an interesting film about a plane which crashed on a small empty island in the Pacific Ocean.

    Although the passengers were safe, nobody knew where the plane had crashed. So the passengers had to learn how to hunt for food in the jungle and how to catch fish from the sea to eat. After a few weeks, the passengers were eating raw fish and meat.

    After they had been on the island for two months, three of the men made a boat and sailed away to find help. But their boat sank and they were drowned.

    The film ended without saying whether the passengers were rescued or not. But my sister and I enjoyed the film.

    I had to show her my shoes that I had cleaned the night before and my school bag had to be neatly put on my shoulder before I could get near the door. Only after my mother was totally satisfied, would I be allowed to rush out of the front door.

    I would leave home at 8 am on the dot and make my way down the lane. After a walk of about 700 metres I would be able to see the tall steeple of the school.

    The playground would be full in the summer and the noise would make me want to rush into the yard and get into a good game of football before the bell went.
    My Great Day of Proposing Girl

    I woke up at about five o’clock yesterday. It wasn’t a regular day, because I was about to propose a girl.

    After praying and taking a bath, I had my early breakfast. At about nine o’clock I was in my office but my soul wasn’t there. I was thinking about the lines that I had to say to her.

    At one o’clock, I had my lunch but I wasn’t enjoying it either. So, I practiced the lines to almost all girls I met at my lunch. Yes, I was a little bit crazy. Finally, it was three o’clock. I remembered all my lines. I wrapped my works and got ready to pick her up and of course proposed her.

    I met her at four o’clock, took a little walk and went to a movie. At seven, we had a romantic dinner. I thought it was the perfect time to ask her to be my wife. Then I said the lines that I practiced the whole afternoon.

    She smiled. I reached my pocket to get a ring and put it around her finger. Then she said “Yes.” After driven her home I went back to my house.

    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!

    Then I remembered where the Hyatt was and told him how to get there. He thanked me and tried to give me something. I thought it was money. I said ‘no’ at first, but he really wanted me to have it, so I took it.

    I found the record store and listened to a few records. D’Masive had a new record that was number two in the top twenty. I decided to buy it. I looked in my bag for my wallet and found a piece of paper the man gave me. It was a photo.

    I was so surprised! He was a singer in D’ Masive!

    Going Camping

    Last weekend, my friends and I went camping. We reached the camping ground after we walked for about one and a half hour from the parking lot. We built the camp next to a small river.

    It was getting darker and colder, so we built a fire camp. The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while the girls were preparing meals. In the afternoon we went to the river and caught some fish for supper.

    At night, we held a fire camp night. We sang, danced, read poetry, played magic tricks, and even some of us performed a standing comedy.

    On Monday, we packed our bags and got ready to go home.
    Holiday in Bali

    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. Fachri actually spoke it quite well, but he was afraid to open his mouth, so I was the one who talked to people.

    A Trip to Tanjung Setia Beach

    Last year, at the end of the year, my wife and I decided to spend our holiday at Tanjung Setia beach, which located around 234 kilometers from Bandarlampung.

    When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see the beautiful view of the beach. After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold and windy, we realized that there were not many people there. We thought that it happened because it was too windy there during that time but we finally realized that it was Christmas holiday so almost all of tourists who are used to spending time there went back to their country.

    After spending few times swimming in the beach, we bought some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, and we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. The next day we visited Labuan Jukung beach. There, we were amazed to see the high wave owned by this beach. Because it was so high that no body was brave enough to surf on it that time.

    The third day there, we decided to go home when we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted because of the trip but we were so happy to travel such an amazing beach Lampung province has

    Story of Dewi Sri as Example of narrative text

    Once upon a time, Batara Guru commanded all the gods and goddesses to contribute their power in order to build a new palace. Anybody who disobeyed this commandment were considered lazy and would lose their arms and legs.
    Hearing the Batara Guru’s commandment, Naga god was very anxious because he didn’t have arms or legs. He might not be able do the job. So he asked advice from Batara Narada who was the younger brother of Batara Guru. Unfortunately Narada was also confused. The Naga god became very upset.
    While the Naga god was crying for his bad luck, three teardrops fell on the ground. Not long after that, those teardrops became three beautiful shining eggs which looked like jewels. Then Batara Narada advised him to offer those shining eggs to Batara Guru.
    With the three eggs in his mouth, the Naga god went to the Batara Guru’s palace. On the way, an eagle asked him a question. Surely Naga god could not answer the question because he was holding the eggs in his mouth. Seeing that, the bird thought that Naga god was arrogant and the bird attacked him.
    Being attacked, one egg fell to earth. Then Naga god was hiding in the bushes but the bird was waiting for him. The bird attacked for the second time and one egg fell again. So Naga god only had one egg in his mouth. He kept moving to Batara Guru’s palace.
    Finally Naga god arrived at the palace. He offered the egg to the Batara Guru. And miraculously the egg hatched became a very beautiful baby girl. Naga god gave the baby girl to the Batara Guru. The baby grew up into a beautiful girl and later known for Dewi Sri.

    Yesterday I and my family went to Way Kambas national park to see the elephants and rhinos conserved there. Way Kambas National Park is a national park which is used as elephant and rhino sanctuary located in Labuhan Ratu District, East Lampung, Lampung, Indonesia
    .
    When we got to there, we saw some elephant performances such as playing football, sitting, greeting the visitors, and other entertaining performances. Unfortunately, we could not see the Sumatran rhinoceros because visitors must have a special permit in advance to see them. Visitors or ordinary tourists cannot see the Sumatran rhino’s natural breeding. In the afternoon we saw some animals which were being fed.

    When we returned home we were tired but we were happy because we had so much fun in Way Kambas

    A Trip to Borobudur Temple

    Three years ago, I and my classmates visited Borobudur Temple. We went to Borobudur temple by bus. We left our school at nine o’clock. It took us 24 hours to arrive there. I arrived there nine o’clock the next day. Along the road, we saw many vehicles, unique houses, prominent buildings, and some other tourists.

    After we arrived at the Borobudur temple, one of my teachers went to buy tickets. After we waited him for a moment we entered into Borobudur temple area. Then we went up to the top of the temple. Borobudur temple was built at Budur Village, Magelang, Jawa Tengah by Syailendra Dynasty. Borobudur Temple is the biggest temple in the world. It has 504 statues and 1.400 reliefs. From the top of the temple we can see such beautiful scenery. I and my friends went around the temple together. Finally, after having some visits, we should go to the hotel to stay and continue our study tour the next day.

    We felt tired that day but we felt so happy to visit Borobudur temple which is well-known as one of the greatest legacies Indonesia has ever had. I hope the temple can be loved by all of the visitors and the government

    Holiday in Lembah Pelangi Waterfall

    Last holiday, I and my beloved wife, visited Lembah Pelangi Waterfall in Ngarip District, Tanggamus Regency, Lampung Province, Indonesia. It was the first time for me to visit such a wonderful waterfall.

    To reach the waterfall location, we should go on foot after having around three hours trip riding a motorcycle from Bandarlampung, the capital city of Lampung. When we arrived there, I was amazed by the beautiful scenery of the waterfall. The air was so fresh at that time and I could not bear to jump into the water immediately. It is quite windy there and all I could see only green, green, and green. Hearing the sound of falling water while we were swimming made me feel peaceful and relaxing.

    Finally, the day was getting dark and it was time for us to go home. It was such an unforgettable experience for me. I really enjoyed it.

    My Vacation with My Beloved People

    One day, my sister named Putri said to me that she really wanted to go to the beach. So I promised her that the next week we would go to Mutun beach in Lampung.

    The next week, we prepared everything needed in the morning. We brought some foods and beverages, such as chocolate wafers, potato chips, water and orange juice. Before going to the beach, I ask our brother, Bayu, to join us. He agreed to join and we went there together with our parents. We went there by car. It took 3 hours to arrive there. Then, we bought tickets in the entrance gate. Before swimming, we changed our clothes first. We swam there for more than one hour. We felt so tired that we decided to eat the foods that we had brought. Next, three of us created a very big sand castle, while my parents were enjoying the beautiful scenery there. After that, we decided to go home because it was getting dark.

    On the way home, we still felt hungry. So we stopped at a restaurant to have dinner. I ordered sruit, Lampungnese traditional food, while my brother, my sister, and my parents ordered fried rice. After finished eating, we paid our bills. Then, we went home. We arrived at home at 9 o’clock. We were tired but we were absolutely happy

    My Busy Holiday

    On February 8th, 2016, I thought this would be a great holiday for me because that was Chinese New Year holiday. I didn’t celebrate the Chinese New Year as I’m not Chinese but I guessed that it was a good time for me to get full refreshing. I was so tired to studying. However, the unpredictable fact broke everything up.

    First like an ordinary daughter, I had to get up early morning to help my mother, of course after I prayed. Then I did the dishes, cleaned up my room, and did my bed. I was really in danger if my mom knew that my room was messy. So, I made it as soon as possible. After finishing everything, my aunts called me in the afternoon. I did not meet them for a long time so we kept for hours to talk about some up to date gossips. Not long after that, my neighbor who is also my schoolmate visited me. She asked my help to finish her homework. At last, the time was running and the homework was successfully finished. An unpredictable moment happened after that. To my surprised, I just remembered that I had a lot of homework too. I got confused and regretful why I did not check it. As the consequence, I did my homework until late night and it was hardly finished. Since then, I always check my home work before having a holiday.

    I did not feel this was holiday instead of I had to work hard and got a long ship with my homework

    (Favourite story from Philippines)
    Fable for kids
    Long long ago, Mr. Fish, Mr. Fly, Mr. Wasp and Mr. snail lived together in a small house. They divided the work among themselves. Mr. fish was the biggest and strongest. He was made the head of the house and his job was to find food. Mr. Fly, who could fly very fast, was made a messenger. Mr. Wasp was made a guard because of his painful sting. And Mr. Snail, who could only move slowly, looked after the house.
    Fable for kids
    Early one day, Mr. Fish went out to look for food. He swam slowly in a nearby river. Suddenly, he saw something moving in the water. It was a big frog. “What a lovely meal.” He thought. He quickly seized the frog in his mouth and started to swim home. But he did not know there was a hook inside the frog which was tied to a string. Someone pulled the string and soon Mr. Fish found himself inside a fisherman’s basket. The fisherman took him home and ate him.

    Of course, his friends did not know what had happened to him. They waited for him for several days. By this time, they all felt very hungry. Then Mr. Fly was sent out to look for Mr. Fish.

    Mr. Fly was angry. He thought the fish was laughing at him.

    Fable for kids
    Mr. Wasp and Mr. Snail were still waiting for Mr. Fish and Mr. Fly to return. Although they were both hungry, Mr. Snail was not as hungry as Mr. Wasp. He could eat mud while Mr. wasp could only tighten his belt. At last, Mr. wasp could not stand it any longer.
    Fable for kids
    He flew out of the house to look for Mr. Fish and Mr. Fly. While he was flying, his hunger became worse. He tightened his belt again and again until finally he broke into two. That was the end of Mr. Wasp.

    Now only Mr. Snail was left. He left the house to look for his three friends. He was crying because he felt so lonely. Whenever he found some grass, he would climb up it to look around for his friends. Even today snails still cry, and whenever they see any grass they will climb up it and look around for their old friends.

    The rock and the weasel

    Long ago a weasel came to a forest near Phakchong. He saw many mice there. Weasels like to eat mice, so the weasel decided to stay in the forest.
    First, the weasel found a place to sleep in a hole beneath a bush. The next day he walked to the top of a small hill. On the hilltop was a rock. The weasel decided to sit on the rock.
    “Who’s there? Asked the rock. “Whoever you are, don’t sit on me.”
    “I’ll sit here as long as I like,” said the weasel. “After all, you’re not going anywhere.”
    The rock sighed, for there was nothing he could do. The weasel sat back on his hind legs. He raised his forelegs in front of him, looked at the sky, and pretended to pray. At sunset the weasel walked down the hill to his home. He did the same thing the next day, and the next day, and the next day after that.
    Soon the mice became curious about the weasel. They watched him for several days. Finally they chose one brave mouse to ask the weasel what he was doing. The brave mouse climbed the hill.
    “What are you doing?” asked the mouse.
    “I’m praying,” replied the weasel.
    The mouse ran back down the hill. He told the other mice that the weasel was praying. The mice decided that the weasel was a very great animal. They also thought he must be a very good animal. That evening they waited for him at the bottom of the hill.
    “We want to pay our respects’ to you,” said their leader.
    The weasel and the mice
    The mice walked around the weasel three times. Then they went home. They did not notice that one mouse was missing.

    Each night after that the mice waited for the weasel. Each night he came down from the hilltop. Each night the mice walked around him three times, and each night the weasel ate one mouse.
    This went on for several months. Finally the leader of the mice noticed something. The forest had fewer mice than before. He called a meeting of all the mice.
    “Something is wrong,” said the leader. “Mice are disappearing, I thing the weasel is eating our friends and relations.
    The mice decided to look at the weasel’s home. They went the next day, while the weasel was on the rock. In the weasel’s hole they found a large pile of mouse bone. The mice ran back to the leader who told them what to do.
    That evening most of the mice waited at the bottom of the hill. Some of the stronger mice walked up behind the hill. At the sundown the weasel stepped off the rock, and it began to move. The rock rolled down the hill, but the weasel didn’t hear it coming. He was thinking about his dinner.
    The rock landed on the weasel.
    “Get off,” cried the weasel. “Don’t sit on me.”
    “I’ll sit here as long as I like,” said the rock. “After all, I’m not going anywhere.”

    Kancil and crocodile story
    (Favourite Stories from Indonesia)

    Kancil, the small but clever mousedeer, had many enemies in the forest. Fortunately, he was quick-witted, so that every time his life was threatened, he managed to escape.

    One of his greatest enemies was Crocodile, who lived in the river that bordered the forest. Many times Crocodile had tried to capture the small mousedeer. Crocodile was big, but he was not very clever. Kancil was able to trick him every time.

    One day it was very hot. There was no wind at all to refresh the thirsty plants and trees of the forest. It was in the middle of the dry season. For many weeks no rain had fallen so that the little creeks where the small animals used to drink had dried up. Kancil was walking alone in the forest; he was very thirsty. He had walked a long way; looking for a brook where he could quench his thirst, but he had found only dry mud in the once gay rippling brooks. It was very quiet in the forest. All the animals seemed to sleep. Even the birds did not sing in the trees. Kancil finally decided to go to the river that bordered the forest. Usually he avoided going there as he knew that Crocodile was always on the look-out for him, waiting for an opportunity to catch him.

    When he arrived at the river. Kancil looked cautiously around him. There was no body to be seen. The clear river water mirrored blidingly the rays of the sun. step by step Kancil approached the water. His sharp eyes looked right and left; his pointed ears strained to catch the slightest sound. But no danger seemed to threaten him this time. Relieved, he bent his head to enjoy the cool water. Suddenly, his glance fell upon an object that was floating not far away from where he stood. It was a blackish thing. It looked like a fallen branch ………. Or, like the back of crocodile! Kancil jumped back, surprised and thoughtful. But he was also very thirsty. How could he possibly know whether the thing there in the river was really a log or a crocodile? Then he smiled a little as he hit upon an idea. In a clear voice he shouted, “ Hey! There, you who are in the river. If you are crocodile, don’t answer me, but if you are only a long of wood, tell me your name!”

    Now it was really Crocodile who was floating in the river. He had seen Kancil approaching and he was waiting for him to bend his head to drink. At the very moment when Kancil did not look. Crocodile would catch him. Without thinking any further, Crocodile answered Kancil in his gruff voice, “Don’t be afraid, I’m only a harmless log!”

    Immediately, Kancil ran away as fast as his leg could carry him, while shouting over his shoulder, “O, stupid Crocodile, have you ever heard a log of wood talk?”

    A fortnight later, however, Kancil forgot this incident. The dry season was not over yet and it seemed to be hotter than ever. Kancil remembered the cool, fresh river water. How wonderful it would be take a bath in it! He decidec to try his luck once again. This time there was nothing suspicious to be seen, so Kancil went to the water and drank to his heart’s content. It was very quite, and also very hot. Without thinking any further Kancil went down into the river and began to splash himself. In his delight he forgot all about danger. He pick up a dry twig that was floating by and began to beat the water with it. He made so much noise that he woke up….. who else, but old crocodile who was sleeping in the neighbourhood.

    “Well, well, this seem to be my lucky day,” thought Crocodile. In a flash he shot out of his hiding place and all of a sudden. Kancil felt sharp teeth biting into one of his legs. It hurt him very much, but though he was shocked and frightened Kancil did not lose his wits. Without hesitation he dipped the dry twig into the water and in a mocking tone he said, “stupid old log of wood, do you really think you have got me? It is only a twig you have in your mouth, not my leg. Here is my leg’ catch it if you can!”

    Kancil moved the twig rapidly to and in front of Crocodile’s eyes. Crocodile could not see very well in the water and above all, he really was blockhead! He believed the clever tal of the little mousedeer, released kancil’s leg and snapped his jaw on the twig. Of course, kancil did not wait one second to jump out of the water and run to the safety of the woods. Though his leg was very sore, he laughed heartily. Once more he had tricked Crocodile.

    Then tiger heard this and ran back to the monkey.
    “I thought that mousedeer only ate grass and vegetables,” he said. “But Mrs. Mousedeer said that her husband would soon get some tiger meat to feed their children. Perhaps the mousedeer has changed?”
    “Don’t worry,” the monkey replied, “They’re only saying that to frightened you. The mousedeer is not big and strong. He can’t fight.”
    The next day, the tiger went to the cave again. The mousedeer’s children were again crying.
    “Tell them to kept quiet,” said the mousedeer to his wife. “We shall certainly get some tiger meat today. The monkey has promised to send the tiger here.”
    When the tiger heard this, he became very angry with his friend, he quickly run after the monkey and killed him.
    The tiger did not go back to the cave, and the mousedeer and his family lived there happily ever afte

    How the mousedeer tricked the crocodile

    A mousedeer was walking along the bank of river. He could see several crocodiles lying in the mud a t the side of the river.
    “Hey, friends!” he called out. “You are really very big and strong! You could easily conguer any country if you want to.”
    “Of course, Mr. mousedeer,” answered the crocodiles. “Even men are afraid of us. Look how well are armed.” They showed the mousedeer their sharp claws and
    teeth, and waved their tails slowly backwards and forwards. “With one blow we can knock a man down.
    ”Everything you say is true,” said the mousedeer, “but I would like to know how many of you there are. Can you please form a line across the river so that I can count you?”
    The crocodiles did as they were told. They formed a line from one side of the river to the other.
    The mousedeer jumped down lightly on the back of the nearest crocodile. “One, two, three,” he counted as he walked across the river on their backs.
    When he reached the other side, he jumped quickly on to the bank. “Thank you very much gentlemen,” he called out. “I didn’t want to get my feet wet crossing the river.”
    The crocodiles roared in anger.
    “Don’t forget, mousedeer.” They shouted “we can live on land as well as in the water. On day we shall catch you and teach you a good lesson.”
    “Ha, ha, ha!” laughed the mousedeer. He run away into the forest. But he did not go near the river again after that. Whenever he wanted to drink, he look for water elsewhere.
    One day it was very hot. The mousedeer was very thirsty. He could not find water anywhere. He had to return to the river.
    “O river,” he cried, “Are there any crocodiles there?” there was no reply. He repeated the question several times but received no answer. “Oh well,” he said “there must be crocodiles there otherwise the river would say something.”
    “There are no crocodiles here,” came the answer from the crocodiles, who were grinding their teeth in anger.
    “Thanks for letting me know that you’re there,” the mousedeer said. “I don’t think I want to go near the river today.”

    a Page from a Girl’s Diary
    It was takbiran night. It was also my birthday, and nothing happened. Or I had thought nothing would happen, but I was wrong.
    That night, I was watching television with my family when I heard someone lit fireworks in my front yard. I peeped trough my window glass but could see nothing. It was very dark outside. Then I thought it had to be my cousins who lit the fireworks. Then I plopped down on my sofa again and tried to concentrate on the television since my mind raced with disappointment that no one gave something special on my birthday. I shrugged, it was almost the end of the day and I became pessimist. Five minutes later my mobile beeped. It was a text from my friend asking me to come out. Wondering what was going on, I grabbed my jacket and hurried to the front door. I was surprised to see her bring a bag full of firework and fire drills. Next I was surprised to see my other friend come out from the darkness. She brought a beautiful birthday cake on her hands. Oh my God! I shrieked. Then they gave the cake to me who was too stunned to say anything. I realized I was blushing furiously because my whole family was watching. Not to mention my neighbors too!
    A plain day, or I thought it was before, turned out to be one of the greatest moment in my life. I didn’t even know how to describe what I felt. Happy was the simplest word.

    The crocodiles rushed up the river bank towards the mousedeer but he ran swiftly into the jungle. “The mousedeer thinks he’s very clever,” said the crocodiles. “Let’s wait for him near those papaya trees over there. He always goes there to eat.”
    They waited for several hours. Feeling very hot and uncomfortable under the sun.
    Suddenly the mousedeer arrived. “O papaya tree, are there any crocodiles there?”
    As there was no reply, he repeated the question several times. There was silence. “Ho, ho papaya tree! I’m sure there are crocodiles there. They must have told you to keep quiet.”
    “No we didn’t,” shouted the crocodiles.
    The mousedeer immediately ran away but the crocodiles were too slow to catch him.
    Before long, the mousedeer felt thirsty and hungry. He went back to the river. While he was searching for food and drink, a crocodile seized him by the leg.
    “Hey what are you doing?” asked mousedeer. “That’s not my leg. It’s a branch of a tree.”
    The crocodile let go of his leg to take another bite.
    The mousedeer leapt away as fast as he could. When he reached as safe distance, he stopped and called out. “My friends, I know you are still waiting for me in the river, if you want to kill me, why don’t we have a fair fight? I shall call all of my friends and you can call yours. In one week’s time. We’ll meet on the river bank and fight it out.”
    The crocodiles agreed that it would be the best way to settle the matter once and for all.
    Every night after that, while the crocodiles were asleep, the mousedeer made as many footprints as he could in the soft mud at the side of the river.
    On the seventh day, a large army of crocodiles appeared. But they could find no sign of the mousedeer and his army. All they could see were hundreds of footprints in the mud.
    “What a pity!” they exclaimed. “It’s our fault, we are too late. The mousedeer’s army could not wait for us.”
    The mousedeer called out to them from the other side of the river. “Do you think I am so stupid? You can’t kill me so easily!”
    Once again, the mousedeer had tricked the crocodiles, and they had to admit defeat.

    A mousedeer, snake and tiger story

    One day while a mousedeer was walking in the forest, he saw a big, black snake sleeping under the tree. When he saw the snake, the mousedeer was frightened. When he wanted to run away from the snake, he suddenly fell on top of a tiger which was sleeping not far from the snake. The tiger woke up and took hold of the mousedeer. He told the mousedeer that he was going to eat him for lunch. “please don’t eat me now,” said the mousedeer. “I have something important to do.”
    “look,” said the mousedeer. “that is the king’s belt. He asked me to stay here and watch it while he was away in the forest.” The tiger looked at the snake and said, “that is a beautiful belt. I need a belt like that. Can I wear it?” asked the mousedeer.
    “Oh all right,” said the mousedeer. So he picked up the snake and winded it around the tiger. The snake twisted itself tighter and tighter until the tiger couldn’t breathe. The tiger asked The mousedeer to help him. But the mousedeer turned and ran away into the forest.

    My Sweet Holiday
    When I was in the second grade in junior high school, I got an holiday. My family and I went to Medan.We took aeroplane. Before we went to Medan, we prepared all of our belongings and we didn’t forget to pray.When we arrived in airport, we were very happy. After that we waited for about 30 minutes. When we went into the aeroplane, I got the seat near the window, so I can look around the sky.Inside the plane, I could see many islands, rivers, and hills.It was so beautiful but I couldn’t take the pictures.
    For about 2 hours, we arrived in Polonia the airport of Medan. After that, we went to my grandma’s house.It located in Tebing Tinggi. From airport, we took a car and it took 3 hours. When we arrived in my grandma’s house, we took a rest and then we ate mie ayam. Mie ayam in Tebing Tinggi is different with mie ayam in Jakarta. I think it is more delicious than mie ayam in Jakarta, because it has the special recipies that secret.
    At night, we ate many durians. They are nice and sweet. I ate too much durians, so Ihad stomachache. My family laughed at me. In the morning, we went to the mountain. We could see the good view. We planned to go to Lake Toba and then in the afternoon, we went by car. When we arrived, we took many pictures. The view was so beautiful.After that, we went to small river, and we played there. It was so fun and we laughed each other.After that we played with children there and we saw the bufallos was took a bath.And then we went up to the mountain, we saw many beautiful birds and water spiders. We could sing at the mountain and joked each other
    We were very happy about it. And then, my brother saw a mango tree. My brother and I climbed and picked some mangoes. The mangoes are big and sweet.
    After that, we went back to the house. At night, there were many foods in Tebing Tinggi such as martabak, sate Padang, noodles, and ice cream. My favourite food was martabak. For ice cream I liked vanilla ice cream. We were very happy about the foods. In Tebing Tinggi ,there were many Chinese. They were very friendly. In the morning, we usually went jogging.The air in Tebing Tinggi was so clean and fresh. The city was so clean. There was no pollution.
    There were many children. The profession of people in Tebing Tinggi was seller.
    In the afternoon, we played kites. It was so fun because, the kites was easy to fly. At night, we went around the city with the motor pedicab.The pedicab was so unique. It was so fun, because it wasn’t expensive and we could enjoy the view. We went to the toys shop. There were many toys and dolls. We were so happy and we won’t miss it.
    It’s my experiences on my holiday, and I feel very happy and I never miss it.

    Camping
    Camping is a good way of spending a holiday away from home. It is cheap, and it is a lot of fun. You are free to go anywhere you please, and it is a great pleasure to be able to sleep under the stars.
    Next week is holiday. The students of VIIA plan to go camping in WIDORO. Now they are discussing their plan.
    "Where can we get the tents?" Fitri asked
    "Everyone should bring his own bedding, a change of clothing and a set of eating utensils. The bedding should be light and warm and give you enough protection against the damp ground," Ayu explained.
    "Besides a change of clothing, I believe you also need a sweater of a jacket. It may be cold at night," Anggraini said.
    "How about food?" Nurul asked.
    "It's fun to cook our own food. Why don’t you bring the cooking utensils, girls? I think you should try to prepare simple dishes in one pan. Then we will only need to carry a few utensils."
    "All right" Anggraini said "We'll be responsible for the food. Will you take care of the tent, boys?"
    "O.K" the boys said
    They all look forward to the holiday

    Discovering The Komodo Lizard
    Two fisherman tied their boat up, hurried out of the boat and ran down the streets of their hometown.
    "We saw a dragon on Komodo Island," they shouted. "We saw a dragon!"
    A man heard their shouts. He was an American named Douglas Burden, Burden was a naturalist. A naturalist is a person who tries to learn as much as he can about things that live. He believed what the two men said but there was only one way to find out. He had to go to Komodo Island himself and brought back on of the dragons for people to see.
    So Douglas Burden and some friends sailed half way around the world to the tiny Island off the coast of Indonesia. When they reached the island they were afraid that the traps and cages they had with them would not be strong enough to hold the dragons.
    There were dragons on the island. They weren’t the same dragons people see in picture, books, and in children stories, but they looked more like dragons than any other animal Burden had ever seen. They were really large lizard-some of them three meters long and as heavy as two men. Their legs were short and thick and on their feet were sharp claws like knives. Although they did not breathe fire like the dragons in story books, the lizards had yellow forked tongues that moved quickly in and out of their mouth.
    It was difficult and dangerous to catch the lizards. Sometimes the lizards attacked the men. Sometimes the men had to kill the lizards to save themselves.
    Finally, Burden and his friends caught two live Komodos and put them in cages on their ship. Then they sailed back to America.
    When the two dragons were put into the Brooklyn Zoo in New York City, people came from all over America to see them. Burden was pleased that so many people had a chance to see two live dragons.
    That was more than 45 year ago. Today there are no more live dragons anywhere in the world except on the tiny Island of Komodo. They still live there.

    My Elementary School Life
    Five years ago, I studied at SD Pembangunan, Tangerang. I had many memorable moments with my friends at school. My friends were kind to me and they were smart. I joined some extracurriculer activities at school. I joined marching band, traditional dance, and vocal group. I loved music very much. I also liked arts.
    I used to practice traditional dance with my friends every Monday after school. My teacher was fierce and discipline. We had to come on time. She would give punishment if we came late. We always practiced seriously because we would join traditional dance competition the following months. We would show our best in that competition. Then, the day came. We were so nervous at the beginning. I was afraid that I would do mistakes in my dance movements. The aundience were so excited to see us. I could recognize my mother on the middle of the crowd in the room. She tried to motivate me and gave spirit. I could also recognize my teacher standing near to my mother.
    She smiled and gave spirit to us. We were back to our teacher after performing. She said that we had performed very well. She said that she would gave a little evaluation in our daily practice. An hour later, the judges announced the winner. With smile and little cry, we came in front the stage to take the prize. We get the second position as the winner of traditional dance. We were so happy. However, my tecaher said that we should practice more and more to have a better performance in the next competition.
    I seldom practiced marching band because the schedule often got crushed with vocal group practice. I prefered to join vocal group practice. I loved singing. It was my favorite extracurriculer activity. In this activity, I learned how to sing well. My friends and I often sang in the government ceremony, especially in the independence day. We felt honoured and proud to sing there. In the regular flag ceremony at school, we also sang some national songs. My teacher also taught us to sing some kids song in meddle. I always felt happy to sing. It burnt my spirit up. I was so excited to sing a song. One day, my class teacher challenged us to sing whatever song we knew. If we were brave to sing in front of the classroom, my class teacher would give chocolate. Without doubt, I came to the front and started to sing. The first verse was going well. My friends seemed to enjoy my voice. The second verse was smooth. But, suddenly i got cough in the middle of the third vere and all of my friends laughed in the classroom. My throat was itchy.
    My teacher gave me a glass of water to drink and the chocolate. I felt embrassed because I got cought when I was singing. On the other hand, I was so happy to get the chocolate. That story was always re-told by friends everytime we held reunion. That was a funny story they said.

    Going to The Zoo
    Last Sunday my family and I went to the Zoo. We went to the Zoo at 7 in the morning by a car driven by my father. The distance of my house from the Zoo is pretty far. It spends about 3 hours. Therefore we went early in the morning. At 10 a.m. we arrived at the Zoo. At that time the Zoo was very crowded and filled by families who were on vacation.
    After arriving, my father bought tickets to the zoo while we all waited in front of the entrance. Then my father took us to enter the zoo. Once inside we started looking for a place to picnic. We were looking for a place around the field that was in the middle of the zoo. Afterwards we got a good spot under a shady tree. My mom immediately held a mat and prepared meals helped by my sister. While my father and I took some stuff in the car. After all was ready, my father took my sister and I went around the zoo.
    We went around all animal’s cages in the zoo and saw various animals. There were so animals that can be seen starting from the smallest animals such as monkeys, birds to big animals such as elephant, bear and bull. In the zoo there were also so many rare and protected animals such as the Sumatran tiger, Cendrawasih birds and many more. I also took our picture together with the animals which were in the zoo.
    After satisfied going around the zoo, we returned to the picnic area to had rest and lunch. Promptly at 12 o’clock we had lunch together in picnic spot. After lunch we relaxed for a while. My sister and I joked with my father and mother. After that we cleaned up our picnic spot and then went around the zoo once again to take pictures together. After time showed at 14:00 we all went home. That day I was very pleased to be able to spend my time with my family

    Holiday in Bandung
    My friends and I went to Bandung last month. They were Jezi, Kayla, Gisel, Pevita, and Diandra. We rent a jeep car with a very high cost because we didn’t plan it long before the day. It could be called as unexpected plan. But, it’s okay. We still determined to go by that car.
    Our first plan was to visit tourism places in Bandung, such as Kawah Putih and Patenggang. However, Kawah Putih was very crowded. So many people visited it. Then we decided to cancel to visit Kawah Putih. Then, we directly went to Situ Patenggang. When we almost arrived there, we could see a very beautiful lake. We were so excited to see it closer. Whtengen we arrived right at our destination, the situation was quite crowded and full of merchants. We immediately came to lake Situ Patenggang. Wow, it was very beautiful. Unfortunately, there were some trashes around the lake. Whether it was lack of management or the visitor who littered was the cause of that condition. I didn’t know. I only hoped that the management officer of this place and all of the visitors could maintain the cleanness of this beauty of nature which has been created by God.
    Besides Situ Patenggang, we also visited Tamansari Zoo. It was a very nice and a pleasure to go there. We could see closely many animals. They were very cute. I also saw some wild animals like python snake, tiger, and lion. I took a picture with a baby of a tiger and lion. They seemed tame and calm. It looked like a big cat. There was only me who was brave to take picture with them. All of my friends who came with me were coward.
    Since the road to many other tourism places was so crowded, finally we decided to have culinary tours. It started from Kaliki Sand, Kampung gajah, House of Sausage, The Valley, until the Paris Van Java Mall. All of the foods were delicious. The price was also reasonable. I thought that I wanted to go back there to have culinary tours with my family. The atmosphere of Bandung was so romantic. It was really suitable to go with our sweetheart.
    The next agenda after having culinary tours was shopping souvenirs. We bought some special foods from Bandung such as brownies, banana roll, Karuhun chips, etc. We also bought some T-Shirts for our family and neighbour. Shopping souvenirs signed that the holiday was over.
    Even though Bandung was always crowded in every holiday, we always made it an alternative place to have holiday together. It was not really far from Tangerang. There were also many delicious foods which I would always miss it. There were still many beautiful tourism places which could relieve our stress after hard working everyday. Moreover, it didn’t cost much money like going to Bali. It was a very nice holiday. It was short but meaningful. I was so happy. So were my friends. Well, that was my story about holiday in Bandung

    Go To The Zoo
    Last Holiday, my sister and went to the zoo. She’s a genuine animal lover. At home she spent all her energy playing and strolling our pet dog, and in all honesty, she’s been approaching me to take her for some time.
    At first I wasn’t certain about going in light of the fact that I’ve generally been uncomfortable with zoo. I considered them to be similar to detainment facilities for wild creatures that ought to be sans running, not secured up pens.
    All things considered, I need to say current zoos are vastly improved than I recollect, the creatures have bunches of space, they appear to be well dealt with and we took in a ton.
    The main thing we saw were the gorilla. They look so human, it’s anything but difficult to how we are identified with them. They don’t have tails like chimpanzees and can walk upright a bit.
    Next were the elephant. It’s stunning how they can get nourishment with their trunks. I learned you can tell in the event that they are African or Indian by the extent of their ears – African ones have greater ears.
    After that it was the lions, nicknamed the ‘king of the jungle’. We didn’t hear any of them thunder, however we did get the opportunity to see them stroll about. The guys have wonderful manes of hair around their necks. Evidently it’s to ensure them in battles. I additionally read that the females do the vast majority of the chasing.
    My little girl was a bit frightened of the snakes, I figure quite a few people don’t care for reptiles. I need to concede any creature with a long thin body and no arms or legs is abnormal!
    The penguins made we chuckle, they are so charming! It’s unusual to believe they’re a feathered creature that can’t fly. While different winged animals have wings for flying, they have adjusted their flippers for swimming.
    Alternate flying creatures I loved taking a gander at were the owl. They have gigantic eyes, delightful quills, and they can turn their necks the distance around. I read their extensive eyes are to help them see during the evening, when they are generally dynamic.
    My girl was interested with the giraffe and their long, long necks. She asked me for what reason they have long necks rather than long legs – great inquiry!
    With everything taken into account, it was an awesome day. Next time I’ll take her to the aquarium to see the dolphins and sharks.

  73. Cinema Tickets
    Last week I went to the theatre. It was the only theatre at my town.
    I had 1 free ticket to watch a movie.
    I had no idea about the movie I would like to watch and I did not know the schedule of that theatre. So that, I just wanted to come and see if there was any good movie.
    I parked my motorcycle at the parking area and I walked slowly at the hall of the theatre.
    I took my ticket on my wallet and go to the information section to ask about how to use the ticket that day.
    Unfortunately, I missed it. The ticket was already expired 2 days before.
    I went home and I was very disappointed about that.
    Hike The Volcano
    Two days ago I went to the Merapi Mountain. It was the first time I climbed the mountain. I did it with some of my friends. We start climbing at 8 p.m. It was so dark and we only used flashlight to get the way. I felt no worry because all of my friends were pofessional climber. I just followed their instruction. we climbed slowly and enjoy the night there. After 7 hours ago walking in the dark, we could reach the top of the mountain. It was at 3 a.m. early the morning. We were not alone. There were a lot of people who reached that top before us. We waited the sun rises by cooking some food and making some hot drink to get back our energy. We sang some songs together, shared stories and got acquainted with people there.
    After seeing the sun raised, we had to go back home. Getting down the mountain was not as hard as the climbing process because we only spent a few energy and time even we had to be more careful to do this process.
    However, it was great exprerience I had ever done so far. (25 baris)

  74. Vocation to grandma's house
    The last holiday I went to my grandma’s home.
    Her home is quite awesome, so far away from the city and close to the vegetables farm area. My grandma and grandpa are farmers.
    I spent two days there and I did so many interesting things in the farm, helping my grandpa planted vegetables.
    At the first day, I learned to plant spinach. What I did was moving out the young spinach from the seeding area to the plantation area.
    I thougt it was easy, but in fact, it was tiring. I had to move those one by one under the sun. I did that for several hours before launch and continued until afternoon.
    In the night, I didn’t want anything except sleeping. I was really tired but it was fun.
    I couldn’t wake up in the morning until my grandma knocked at my door. He laughed at me because what I did was not hard actually if compared with the real farmer.
    Then, before we went to the farm again, my grandma had prepared for breakfast. After eating I follow my grandpa going to the next field.
    We would do daily treatment for the 1 month age spinach. We had to give them enough water and checked if grasshoppers.
    At the third day, I had to back home. I was sad to leave my grandma and grandpa. But, that’s fine because the next holiday I would go there and see them again. (13)

  75. Watching a Movie
    My sister and I went to see a film last night. It was an American movie called The Lost Flight. It showed how people can quickly change when they have to look after themselves in the jungle. It was an interesting film about a plane which crashed on a small empty island in the Pacific ocean.
    Although the passengers were safe, nobody knew where the plane had crashed. So the passengers had to learn how to hunt for food in the jungle and how to catch fish from the sea to eat. After a few weeks, the passengers were eating raw fish and meat.
    After they had been on the island for two months, three of the men made a boat and sailed away to find help. But their boat sank and they were drowned.
    The film ended without saying whether the passengers were rescued or not. But my sister and I enjoyed the film. (8)

  77. My mother got me ready for school then I had to wait for her to brush my hair and place every strand
    in just the perfect position.
    I had to show her my shoes that I had cleaned the night before and my school bag had to be neatly put on my shoulder before I could
    get near the door. Only after my mother was totally satisfied, would I be allowed to rush out of the frontdoor.
    I would leave home at 8 am on the dot and make my way down the lane. After a walk of about 700 metres I would be able to see the tall steeple of the
    school.
    The playground would be full in the summer and the noise would make me want to rush into the yard and get into a good game of football before the bell
    went.

  78. Fox and A Cat

    One day a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited creature, boasted how clever she was. 'Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,' she said.

    'I know only one trick to get away from dogs,' said the cat. 'You should teach me some of yours!'
    'Well, maybe some day, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler ones,' replied the fox airily.

    Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew louder and louder - the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know,' said the cat. 'Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?'

    The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.

    Moral : A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.

  79. Panda bear is a standout amongst the most jeopardized creatures and on the edge of eradication. Anyway, a group of researchers has been framed around the backwoods in China to help spare the panda bear populace. This report will let you know about the panda bear and why they are imperiled.

    Pandas live in territories with a ton of different creatures yet have couple of foes. They lived in Southeast China. They live in the cool backwoods on the inclines of the dim mountains. There are a considerable measure of bamboo trees to eat.

    Pandas invest energy to eat for around 10 to 12 hours a day, around 40-80 kg. Panda nourishment comprises of 99% bamboo yet infrequently they eat different plants or meat furthermore nectar. Honey bee stings would not hurt Panda on the grounds that they have a tough skin. Pandas eat in a sitting position. Panda does not rest like other bear sorts.

    Pandas just have one foe. Their foes are wild puppies. At the point when the wild canines assaulted them. Panda will climb trees to evade battles.

    Panda generation rate is truly low. Female pandas don’t breed until 5 to 7 years. Female pandas can just have up to 3 children at one time. The infant panda are as little as child cat. Children normally leave their mom following 18 months.

    Panda is imperiled in view of a few issues. First and foremost, the reproducing season just happens in the middle of March and May. Second, the panda living space is not sufficiently enormous.

  80. Lion lives in prairie, bushes, and open forests of Saharan, Africa. Lion is the second biggest feline on the planet. Its size is marginally littler than tiger. Be that as it may, they are nearly related and have fundamentally the same body. Lion is unique in relation to other enormous felines. They are extremely amiable creatures. They live in gatherings. There are around 30 lions in a gathering comprising of three guys, twelve females, and whatever remains of their kids. The quantity of gathering individuals is dictated by the accessibility of nourishment and water.

    They thunder one another to track their spot. Male and female lions have a capable thunder that can be heard up to 8 km. Male and female lion have an altogether different part in the gathering. Male lions invest their energy to keep their domain and their youngsters. They keep up their limits. While female lions or lioness is the primary seeker bunch. They are littler and more spry than male lions. Anyway, they cooperate in getting their prey.

    They generally chase around evening time. Their prey are gazelle, bison, zebra, rhinos, hippos, wild pig, crocodile, youthful elephants, and giraffe. At the same time, in some cases they likewise eat the littler prey, for example, rodents, flying creatures, rabbits, reptiles, and turtles.

    In the wake of getting their prey, all the lions in the gathering impart their prey. However, there is a pecking request. The male lions take the first claim, trailed by lionesses, and the latter is their kids.

  81. Dolphins are very intelligent animals and they are benign to humans. This water mammals are able to fascinate us in many different ways. These mammals live in a group. They have been known to help humans in a variety of circumstances including rescue and fishing.

    There are 36 species of dolphins that have been found. 32 species are dolphins the sea is already well known by the people and 4 species are river dolphins. It’s very interesting to see and learn about the dolphin species

    Dolphins can be very entertaining. They can jump out of the water. Some of them can jump up to 30 feet in the air. The dolphins are grayish blue and his skin is very sensitive to human touch and other objects.

    Although the dolphins have 100 teeth, they don’t use their teeth to eat. They use it to get fish then they swallow the fish. They can consume fish up to 15 kg per day. They always gather in a group to hunt fish

  82. Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with a strong, flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans. Cats, despite being solitary hunters, are a social species and cat communication includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (mewing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting), as well as cat pheromones and types of cat-specific body language.

    Cats have a high breeding rate. Under controlled breeding, they can be bred and shown as registered pedigree pets, a hobby known as cat fancy. Failure to control the breeding of pet cats by neutering and the abandonment of former household pets has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, requiring population control. This has contributed, along with habitat destruction and other factors, to the extinction of many bird species.

    Cats have been known to extirpate a bird species within specific regions and may have contributed to the extinction of isolated island populations. Cats are thought to be primarily, though not solely, responsible for the extinction of 33 species of birds, and the presence of feral and free ranging cats makes some locations unsuitable for attempted species reintroduction in otherwise suitable locations.

  83. Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids and external ears. Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes’ paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca.

    Living snakes are found on every continent except Antarctica, and on most smaller land masses; exceptions include some large islands, such as Ireland and New Zealand, and many small islands of the Atlantic and central Pacific. Additionally, sea snakes are widespread throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans. More than 20 families are currently recognized, comprising about 500 genera and about 3,400 species. They range in size from the tiny, 10 cm-long thread snake to the reticulated python of up to 6.95 meters (22.8 ft) in length. The fossil species Titanoboa cerrejonensis was 13 meters (43 ft) long. Snakes are thought to have evolved from either burrowing or aquatic lizards, perhaps during the Jurassic period, with the earliest known fossils dating to between 143 and 167 Ma ago.The diversity of modern snakes appeared during the Paleocene period (c 66 to 56 Ma ago). The oldest preserved descriptions of snakes can be found in the Brooklyn Papyrus.

  84. The donkey or ass (Equus africanus asinus), is a domesticated member of the horse family, Equidae. The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African wild ass, E. africanus. The donkey has been used as a working animal for at least 5000 years. There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world, mostly in underdeveloped countries, where they are used principally as draught or pack animals. Working donkeys are often associated with those living at or below subsistence levels. Small numbers of donkeys are kept for breeding or as pets in developed countries.

    A male donkey or ass is called a jack, a female a jenny or jennet; a young donkey is a foal. Jack donkeys are often used to mate with female horses to produce mules — the biological “reciprocal” of a mule, from a stallion and jenny as its parents instead, is called a hinny.

    Asses were first domesticated around 3000 BC, probably in Egypt or Mesopotamia, and have spread around the world. They continue to fill important roles in many places today. While domesticated species are increasing in numbers, the African wild ass and another relative, the onager, are endangered. As beasts of burden and companions, asses and donkeys have worked together with humans for millennia.

  85. The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species, reaching a total body length of up to 3.38 m (11.1 ft) over curves and exceptionally weighing up to 388.7 kg (857 lb) in the wild. Its most recognisable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes on reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. The species is classified in the genus Panthera with the lion, leopard, jaguar and snow leopard. Tigers are apex predators, primarily preying on ungulates such as deer and bovids. They are territorial and generally solitary but social animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey requirements. This, coupled with the fact that they are indigenous to some of the more densely populated places on Earth, has caused significant conflicts with humans.

  86. Tigers once ranged widely across Asia, from Turkey in the west to the eastern coast of Russia. Over the past 100 years, they have lost 93% of their historic range, and have been extirpated from southwest and central Asia, from the islands of Java and Bali, and from large areas of Southeast and Eastern Asia.

  87. Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. Two species are traditionally recognised, the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), although some evidence suggests that African bush elephants and African forest elephants are separate species (L. africana and L. cyclotis respectively). Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Elephantidae is the only surviving family of the order Proboscidea; other, now extinct, members of the order include deinotheres, gomphotheres, mammoths, and mastodons. Male African elephants are the largest extant terrestrial animals and can reach a height of 4 m (13 ft) and weigh 7,000 kg (15,000 lb). All elephants have several distinctive features the most notable of which is a long trunk or proboscis, used for many purposes, particularly breathing, lifting water and grasping objects. Their incisors grow into tusks, which can serve as weapons and as tools for moving objects and digging. Elephants’ large ear flaps help to control their body temperature. Their pillar-like legs can carry their great weight. African elephants have larger ears and concave backs while Asian elephants have smaller ears and convex or level backs

  88. Eagles are large, powerfully built birds of prey, with a heavy head and beak. Even the smallest eagles, like the booted eagle (Aquila pennata) (which is comparable in size to a common buzzard (Buteo buteo) or red-tailed hawk (B. jamaicensis)), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight – despite the reduced size of aerodynamic feathers. Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from some vultures. The smallest species of eagle is the South Nicobar serpent eagle (Spilornis klossi), at 450 g (0.99 lb) and 40 cm (16 in). The largest species are discussed below. Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large hooked beaks for ripping flesh from their prey, strong muscular legs, and powerful talons. The beak is typically heavier than that of most other birds of prey. Eagles’ eyes are extremely powerful, having up to 3.6 times human acuity for the martial eagle, which enables them to spot potential prey from a very long distance.This keen eyesight is primarily attributed to their extremely large pupils which ensure minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light. The female of all known species of eagles is larger than the male

  89. The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. Its species name refers to its camel-like shape and its leopard-like colouring. Its chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its distinctive coat patterns. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. The nine subspecies are distinguished by their coat patterns.

    The giraffe’s scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south, and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs, grasslands, and open woodlands. Their primary food source is acacia leaves, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. Giraffes are preyed on by lions; their calves are also targeted by leopards, spotted hyenas, and African wild dogs. Adult giraffes do not have strong social bonds, though they do gather in loose aggregations if they happen to be moving in the same general direction. Males establish social hierarchies through “necking”, which are combat bouts where the neck is used as a weapon. Dominant males gain mating access to females, which bear the sole responsibility for raising the young.

  90. Cats also called the domestic cat or house cat (with its scientific name: Felis silvestris catus or Felis catus) is a type of carnivorous mammal of the family Felidae. The word "cat" generally refers to a "cat" that has been tamed, but can also refer to the "big cats" such as lions and tigers.

    Cats are considered as "perfect carnivore" with teeth and particular digestive tract. The first premolar and molar teeth form a pair of fangs on each side of the mouth that works effectively as a pair of scissors to tear the meat. Although these features also exist in the Canidae or dog, but these traits are better developed in cats. Unlike other carnivores, cats eat almost non vegetable substance. Bears and dogs sometimes eat berries, roots, or honey as a supplement, while cats only eat meat, usually freshly killed prey. In captivity, cats can not adapt to a vegetarian diet because they can not synthesize all the amino acids they need from plant material; it is in contrast with domesticated dogs, which commonly are fed a mixture of meat and vegetables and sometimes it can adapt to a completely vegetarian meal.

    Cats have mingled with human life since at least 6000 BC, from the skeleton of the cat found on the island of Cyprus. The ancient Egyptians of 3500 BC have used cats to keep away the rats or other rodents from the barn where the crops were saved.Currently, the cat is one of the most popular pet in the world. Cats that his lines are recorded officially as a cat breeds or pure breed are Persian, Siamese, Manx, and the sphinx. These kinds of cat are usually bred in official captivity animal. The number of purebred cat is only 1% of all cats in the world; the rest is a cat with mixed ancestry such as wild cats or domestic cats.

  91. A mobile phone (also known as a wireless phone, or cellular telephone) is a very small portable radio telephone.

    The mobile phone can be used to communicate over long distances without wires. It works by communicating with a nearby base station (also called a "cell site") which connects it to the main phone network. As the mobile phone moves around, if the mobile phone gets too far away from the cell it is connected to, that cell sends a message to another cell to tell the new cell to take over the call. This is called a "hand off," and the call continues with the new cell the phone is connected to. The hand-off is done so well and carefully that the user will usually never even know that the call was transferred to another cell.

    As mobile phones became more popular, they began to cost less money, and more people could afford them. Monthly plans became available for rates as low as US$30 or US$40 a month. Cell phones have become so cheap to own that they have mostly replaced pay phones and phone booths except for urban areas with many people.

  92. Laptop, often called a notebook, is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, as of 2014, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia.

    A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. Most 2016-era laptops also have integrated webcams and built-in microphones. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter. Laptops are diverse devices and specialised kinds, such as rugged notebooks for use in construction or convertible computers, have been optimized for specific uses. The hardware specifications, such as the processor speed and memory capacity significantly vary between different types, makes, and models.

  93. A flag is a piece of fabric (most often rectangular or quadrilateral) with a distinctive design that is used as a symbol, as a signaling device, or as decoration. The term flag is also used to refer to the graphic design employed, and flags have since evolved into a general tool for rudimentary signalling and identification, especially in environments where communication is similarly challenging (such as the maritime environment where semaphore is used).

    National flags are potent patriotic symbols with varied wide-ranging interpretations. Flags are also used in messaging, advertising, or for other decorative purposes. The study of flags is known as vexillology, from the Latin word vexillum, meaning flag or banner.

  94. A country is a region that is identified as a distinct entity in political geography. A country may be an independent sovereign state or one that is occupied by another state, as a non-sovereign or formerly sovereign political division, or a geographic region associated with sets of previously independent or differently associated people with distinct political characteristics. Regardless of the physical geography, in the modern internationally accepted legal definition as defined by the League of Nations in 1937 and reaffirmed by the United Nations in 1945, a resident of a country is subject to the independent exercise of legal jurisdiction.

    Sometimes the word countries is used to refer both to sovereign states and to other political entities, while other times it refers only to states. For example, the CIA World Factbook uses the word in its "Country name" field to refer to "a wide variety of dependencies, areas of special sovereignty, uninhabited islands, and other entities in addition to the traditional countries or independent states".

  95. Mouse-deer, are small ungulates that make up the family Tragulidae, the only members of the infraorder Tragulina. They are found mostly in forests in South and Southeast Asia, with a single species in the rainforests of Central and West Africa.

    Mouse-deer have primitive features, closer to non-ruminants such as pigs. All species in the family lack of horns, but both sexes have elongated canine teeth. These are especially prominent in males, where they project out on either side of the lower jaw, and are used in fights. Their legs are short and thin, which make them lack in agility, but also helps them maintain a smaller profile to aid in running through the dense foliage of their environments.

    They are solitary or live in pairs. The young are weaned at three months of age, and reach sexual maturity between five and 10 months. Parental care is relatively limited. Although they lack the types of scent glands found in most other ruminants, they do have a chin gland for marking each other as mates or antagonists, and, in the case of the water chevrotain, anal and preputial glands for marking territory. Their territories are relatively small, on the order of 13–24 hectares (32–59 acres), but neighbors generally ignore each other, rather than compete aggressively.

  104. Nepal rescuers find 3 bodiesnear crashed US Marine

    Nepalese rescuers on Friday found three bodies near the wreckage of a U.S. Marine helicopter that disappeared earlier this week while on a relief mission in the earthquake-hit Himalayan nation, officials said.
    Nepal’s Defense Secretary Iswori Poudyal gave no details about the nationalities of the victims. The helicopter was carrying six Marines and two Nepalese army soldiers.
    The wreckage was found near Gothali village in the district of Dolakha.
    The U.S. Embassy in Nepal had no immediate comment Friday.
    The discovery of the wreckage, first spotted by a Nepalese army helicopter Friday, followed days of intense search involving U.S. and Nepalese aircraft and even U.S. satellites.
    The U.S. relief mission was deployed soon after a magnitude-7.8 quake hit April 25, killing more than 8,200 people. It was followed by another magnitude-7.3 quake on Tuesday that killed 117 people and injured 2,800.
    The second quake was centered between Kathmandu and Mount Everest, and hit hardest in deeply rural parts of the Himalayan foothills, hammering many villages reached only by hiking trails and causing road-blocking landslides.

  105. Police suspect drug overdose in boxer Tony Ayala Jr.’s

    Heroin and a syringe were found next to the body of Tony Ayala Jr., San Antonio police disclosed Thursday in a report that says investigators suspect a drug overdose killed the troubled boxer.
    According to a newly released police report, the items were found on a desk next to Ayala’s body, which was found face-down on the floor next to the desk and chair. Investigators said the syringe contained what appeared to be a narcotic and that a ball of heroin wrapped in tape was found on the desk with a cooker cap and a spoon.
    There was no sign of trauma on the body, police said.
    According to the report, a woman whom officers found weeping over Ayala’s body said the pair had been drinking alcohol and quarrelling in a house they shared the night before. About 1 a.m. Tuesday, he left the house angry, she said. About 7:30 a.m., sensing that something was wrong, she went to the gym owned by the Ayala family where he trained and found his body.
    The woman’s name was concealed in the report.
    Ayala, a 1979 Golden Gloves middleweight champion, was 19 when he was arrested and later convicted of raping a schoolteacher in New Jersey. He was undefeated in 22 bouts with 19 knockouts and set to fight Davey Moore for a junior middleweight title before the arrest.
    After serving 16 years of a 35-year term for rape, Ayala repeatedly ran into legal trouble in Texas as he tried to revive his boxing career. He was shot in the left shoulder by a woman after allegedly breaking into her home and refusing to leave in 2000. He got probation and a short jail term in a plea agreement.
    Four years later, Ayala went back to prison for 10 years when he violated parole in the Texas case. He was pulled over for speeding and charged with driving without a license, possession of heroin and possession of pornography.
    Ayala was charged in 2003 with having sex with a 13-year-old girl, but the case was dismissed when the girl said she lied about the incident.

  106. God’s revelation behind Sultan’s decisions

    After almost two weeks of uncertainty surrounding issues of succession within the Yogyakarta Palace, Sultan Hamengkubuwono X – now Hamengku Bawono X – finally appeared in public on Friday afternoon to clarify the matter.
    Speaking at a meeting held at Ndalem Wironegaran, the residence of his eldest daughter Gusti Kanjeng Ratu (GKR) Mangkubumi – formerly GKR Pembayun, the sultan said that the recent decisions he made were based on a revelation from God he received through his ancestors, kings of the Mataram kingdom.
    “I don’t mind getting scolded or questioned by my brothers. I will not do anything about it because I would have been afraid of getting scolded by God [if the decisions were not made],” the sultan said before 300 people sitting on the floor of the residence’s joglo hall, listening to his explanation.
    The sultan also sat on the floor while giving his explanation, accompanied by his wife GKR Hemas and four of his five daughters.
    The sultan, however, declined to give details on how he received the revelation. “I cannot explain further. This is very personal,” he said.
    He only called on the people to accept his two recent decisions, called sabda raja (king’s proclamation) and dhawuh raja (king’s command).
    During the meeting, the sultan elaborated on sabda raja and dhawuh raja, respectively regarding the change in his royal name and the naming of his eldest daughter as GKR Mangkubumi, which many have seen as an effort to make her his heir.
    The sultan also said that the residence of GKR Mangkubumi was chosen as the site to explain the sabda raja and dhawuh raja instead of the palace because he did not want to be accused of gathering the masses at the palace for support.
    “This has to be done here and only because it was requested by the people,” Sultan said.
    He also said that both decisions were made suddenly because of the timing in which he received the revelation.
    “It was clear in the revelation that the decisions had to be made on Wage Thursday [April 30] and Wage Tuesday [May 5],” said the sultan, adding that preparations for both processions were carried out quickly.
    He also said that his brothers had been invited to the occasions but none showed up.
    “I am OK with it. There are risks to every decision we make.”
    With regard to the issue of succession surrounding the issuance of the dhawuh raja, the sultan said that the revelation he received told him to change GKR Pembayun’s title to GKR Mangkubumi. He said that it did not mention anything about naming her a crown princess.
    However, he admitted that during the dhawuh raja procession, he told his eldest daughter — after receiving the new title GKR Mangkubumi — to sit on the special chair that only the heir of the palace could sit on.
    GKR Mangkubumi, whose complete title is now GKR Mangkubumi Hamemayu Hayuning Bawana Langgeng Ing Mataram, said that she learned about her new title only when she was called to come forward by her father during the procession to receive the title.
    “I realize I am bearing a great name in my title. With a great name also comes great responsibility,” said the 43-year-old after the meeting.
    Sociologist and Javanese culture observer Bayu Wahyono of Yogyakarta State University (UNY) said that the sultan’s moves had transformed the palace’s regulations.

  107. Al-Qaida-linked tribesmen ban popular drug in southern.

    Tribesmen allied with al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen have imposed a ban on the leafy qat plant, a mild narcotic widely chewed on a daily basis, in a southern port city overrun by the militants last month.
    Yemeni men traditionally chew qat for several hours starting around midday, stuffing their cheeks with the leaves and letting its narcotic dissolve in their saliva. At daily qat-chewing sessions Yemenis recline on floor cushions, listen to traditional music, exchange gossip and engage in wide-ranging debates.
    The widely cultivated plant consumes 30 percent of the extremely scarce water resources in Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country, and cuts into the production of other crops. The World Health Organization classifies the drug as a narcotic.
    Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and allied tribesmen overran the city of Mukalla — capital of the vast Hadramawt province — last month, in part because of heavy fighting elsewhere between Shiite rebels known as Houthis and loyalists of Yemen’s internationally recognized president, backed by Saudi-led airstrikes.
    The tribesmen, who refer to themselves as “Sons of Hadramawt,” on Thursday distributed pamphlets saying qat chewing is banned and that violators “will be held fully responsible under Shariah law,” without elaborating.
    Pictures posted on social networking sites for local reporters showed tribesmen setting fire to piles of green leaves in the streets while others armed with assault rifles halted trucks carrying the plants and turned them away from the city.
    “Qat is a problem either way,” said Salem Dayan, a merchant in Mukalla. “If you ban it, people will have nothing to do to kill time, and if you lift the ban, you bring back the financial burden on your family.” A person can spend anywhere from $5 to $50 on qat for a single session.
    Retired teacher Ahmed Basalma welcomed the ban, saying qat “ruined lives and wrecked whole families,” but that addicts would likely find a way around it.
    Awad bin Dagher, a government employee, said there are no recreational alternatives to the drug. “We have nothing but the seafront,” he said. “I can’t imagine my life without qat.”

  108. President Donald Trump will bring the "full force" of the U.S. government to combat human trafficking.
    WASHINGTON (AP) — The president is meeting with senior advisers and representatives of organizations that deal with trafficking at the White House. His daughter is among those in attendance.
    Trump calls “human trafficking” as a problem that is "not talked about enough." He said that he would order the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to take a hard look at the resources they were devoting to addressing the issue.
    Human trafficking tends to occur around international travel-hubs with large immigrant populations, such as California and Texas. The U.S. Justice Department estimates that 14,500–17,500 people, including young children, teenagers, men and women, are trafficked into the country every year. They can be domestic citizens or foreign nationals. According to the Department of State's statistics from 2000, there are approximately 244,000 American children and youth that are at risk for sex trafficking each year

    DOHA – Sri Rabitah, 25, told the Indonesian press on Monday that she only realized what had happened before when she returned to her home and went to hospital complaining of constant back pain.
    To her surprised, doctors told the young mother that one of her kidneys was missing.
    Muhammad Iqbal, a foreign ministry official, said that her case was a “clear indication” of organ trafficking and called for an urgent investigation soon.
    Her employers allegedly told her to go for a medical check-up at a hospital, during which she was placed under anaesthesia with no explanation.
    “Without permission, I got an injection. The doctor said I was so weak, so I was told to relax,” Sri told the Detik news site.
    Sri said that she remembered being taken to a room containing medical tools before waking up in pain with an inexplicable incision scar.
    She claims that she was never given an explanation about what happened in the room at that time, and was sent back home as her employers deemed her unfit to work.
    Sri has said that she wants to fight back. “I want the government to sue the perpetrator. My kidney was stolen,” she said.

  117. Court Honors Aburizal’s Claim to Golkar Leadership

    JakartaNews.com-Jakarta- A Jakarta court has issued the latest in a litany of verdicts to address the leadership dispute within the Golkar Party, Indonesia’s oldest political party, with the defeated camp vowing to continue its legal battle to win the bitter feud.

    The Jakarta State Administrative Court, or PTUN Jakarta, on Monday ruled in favor of the camp supporting tycoon Aburizal Bakrie, who was re-elected for a second term as chairman during a party congress held in Bali in December last year.

    Aburizal’s camp had filed a lawsuit against a decree issued by Justice Minister Yasonna Laoly that officially acknowledged the leadership of Aburizal’s rival, Agung Laksono, in the party.

    Agung was elected the chairman of Golkar during a rival congress in Ancol, North Jakarta, staged just days after the Bali meeting.

    The panel of judges abolished the ministerial decree, with the chief judge, Teguh Satya Bhakti, saying the minister had no authority to interfere in an internal party dispute.

    Aburizal’s camp has accused the minister of issuing the decree in favor of Agung because of the latter’s close relationship to the ruling party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), of which President Joko Widodo is a member.

    Aburizal’s camp, meanwhile, is a staunch supporter of the opposition bloc, the Red-White Coalition, which supported former Army general Prabowo Subianto in the presidential election last year.

    “To prevent a vacant leadership in the central executive board of Golkar, as a result of the abolished [ministerial decree], [we decide] the result of the national congress in Pekanbaru to be the one in effect,” said another member of the panel of judges, Subur.

    He was referring to Golkar’s congress in 2009 that saw the election of Aburizal as chairman for his first five-year term, with Idrus Marham as the party’s secretary-general.

Some prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some species have their roots covered with sea water every day during high tide. Other species grow on dry land but are still part of the ecosystem. The Times of India reported that rare species of mangrove had been found and was also known as the looking-glass tree, probably because the leaves are silver-coated.

    Mangroves need to keep their trunk and leave above the surface of the water. Yet they also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves.

    Any part of root that appears above the water flows oxygen to the plant under water surface. as the soil begin to build up, these roots procedure additional roots that become embedded in the soil.

At once the cat ran to the nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. 'This is the trick I told you about, the only one I know,' said the cat. 'Which one of your hundred tricks are you going to use?'

    The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.

  132. The Ant and the Dove

    One hot day, an ant was seeking for some water. After walking around for a moment, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell unintentionally into the water.

    She could have sunk if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly put off a leaf from a tree and dropped it immediately into the water near the struggling ant. Then the ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up there. Soon it carried her safely to dry ground.

    Not long after at that, there was a hunter nearby who was throwing out his net towards the dove, hoping to trap it in this way.

    Guessing what he should do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net and the dove flew away quickly from this net.

We arrived at Yogyakarta at night. We spent a week staying in my grandmother’s house which is 5 minutes away by foot to Malioboro street.

    In the first morning, we were still too tired after a long trip from Semarang to Yogyakarta. So we decided to stay at home to recharge our energy. I walk around the neighborhood with my sister just to experience how it is like to be in Yogyakarta. There were too many house, I think, which made the space between a house and the other was so small, even the road was also small that only bicycle and motorcycle can go through.

My mom and dad were busy choosing some merchandise to be brought home when we go back.

    On the third day, we went to Taman Sari and Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat to see some historical building in Yogyakarta. We took a lot of picture there. We also took some picture of the building so we can check it again at home. We found some place providing Yogya traditional food around the building and we jumped in right away.

    We spent the rest of our week in Yogyakarta by visiting some Shopping Malls such as Jogja City Mall, Malioboro Mall, Hartono Mall and Ambarrukmo Plaza. We realized that Yogyakarta turned out to be very warm during the day, that was the reason why we decided to spend more time in air conditioned building like this.

When I already had enough worm, I brought it to my father and we went straight to the river. We put the worm on the fishing hook as a bait to catch the fish. As a beginner fisher, I cannot apply the worm on the fishing hook well, and it look like it was about to fall of the hook, but my father said that it was okay. I threw the fishing hook into the river and wait for the fish to eat the bait, but nothing happened after a while. When I was about to get bored I saw a big prawn was slowly walking in the water. I placed the fishing hook slowly into the face of the prawn and move it up and down so the worm seemed alive. I never expected it to happen but suddenly the prawn move its hand and grabbed the worm on my fishing hook. I lift it very slowly and the prawn was still there hanging tight on the worm until I placed it on the ground and I caught it right away with my hands. My father was so surprise to see it. Before we went home, we cooked it at the hut and enjoyed it together.

  158. Bro Time

    After a year working in Australia, I finally managed to come back to my hometown last month. It is in Cimahi, a city located in the west side of Bandung. I spent a week staying here. During this time at home, I learned that my best friend, Richie, had become a successful medic in the government’s hospital in my hometown. So I called him and we decided to have a “Bro Time” at the weekend.

    Richie picked me up at 4 p.m, and he brought me straight to a new waterpark in town which he claimed to be the biggest waterpark in Cimahi. We parked our car in the parking area and walked straight to the entrance gate. There is a ticket counter at the gate and we have to pay Rp.80.000 to get into the waterpark. Richie paid for our ticket, he said it was a treat for me of his first salary as a medic in the hospital. I thanked him.

    We handed over the ticket to the gate keeper and he allowed us to enter. After that went to a counter where we took the key for our locker. In this counter, we need to give them something as the assurance if we want to use the locker, so we gave them our car’s key. They said that we will get the car’s key back when we return the locker key. After that we went to the locker room, where we changed our clothes and get ready to swim. Before we enter the pool, we decided to rent a dual swimming float, the price was Rp.20.000 and I decided to pay it. We brought it to the pool and sat on it. After that we also swim and took some picture together. After playing in the water for about an hour, we were so hungry and we decided to go to the foodcourt. We order two plates of fried noodle and two cup of ice tea. I paid the food as a treat for Richie. After finishing our food and drinks, we went to the locker room to change our clothes and went back home at 6 p.m.

  159. Traveling Abroad

    My first overseas trip was when I went to Thailand with my father. At that moment I was still in Junior High School level and it was a school day off. My father took this trip because he needed a data for his research about the legendary bird “Garuda”, which turned out to be a legend too in Thailand. We spent only 1 day in Thailand, but I already experience a lot of new things.

    When we first landed at the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, we got a taxi and asked the driver to take us to the nearest hotel. He drove us to Windsor Suites Hotel located on Sukhumvit Road. We went straight to the receptionist and booked a room for tonight and tomorrow. The receptionist gave us a card that we can use as a key to unlock our room. We went to our room and took a quick shower, change our clothes and then went down to the lobby again.

    From the lobby, we went out to the street. My father order a ride to a local driver. It looked like a becak motor but a lot bigger and the people called it “tuk-tuk”. My father asked the driver to take us to Chatuchak Market and find us a restaurant that served Halal food for Moslem. Then we arrived at a small restaurant which turned out to be owned by Indonesian. The owner was very nice, he gave us a free meal when we were about to left his restaurant. He said that it was for our breakfast, just in case we couldn’t find any Halal food at the hotel. My father thanked him and ask to exchange their phone number. Before we went back to the hotel, my father took me around the Chatuchak Market. I saw so many toys that I have never seen before in Indonesia. My father bought me one of those toys, it was rubber chicken. It was so funny, because when we squeeze it, it will make sound just like rooster. After that we went back to the hotel and go to bed.

    In the morning, we enjoy free breakfast at the hotel. We had a lot of Halal food to choose. I took a couple glass of free milk for myself. After that my father order an Uber and ask the driver to take us to three archaeological sites in Thailand which were Ayutthaya Historical Park, Ban Non Wat village, and the temple of Prasat Ta Muen Thom. When we arrived on each destination, my father started collecting the data. While my father was working, I walked around the historical site and took a lot of picture of myself. We finished the job at 5 p.m, and we still have enough time to head back to the hotel, took a quick shower and drove right away to the airport. We went back to Indonesia that night at 9 p.m. My father and I were exhausted but I was so happy.

  160. Lazy Day

    Last weekend I spent all day laying on my bed. It was just like the Lazy Song by Bruno Mars, “today I don’t feel like doing anything” hehe. But sometimes doing nothing was just something that we needed the most, especially after a long and super exhausted week at the office.

    It was Sunday and I woke up at 9 a.m in the morning. I looked around me and I saw a new comic book that I just bought yesterday laying next to my Macbook. I try to dragged it closer to me by using my foot, and then I pick it with my hand. I unwrapped the comic and start reading it. When I just reached the middle of the story, I felt thirsty so I got up of my super comfortable bed and walk out the room. I walked down the stairs right to the kitchen.

    I opened the fridge and I found a bottle full of chill orange juice. I opened the bottle and pour the orange juice into a glass. When I checked my fridge, I saw that I still have a leftover Pizza from yesterday, so I decided to reheat it in my microwave. So I sat in the kitchen for a while waiting the Pizza to be ready. When the timer of the microwave is off, I pick the Pizza up and put it on my plate. I took my orange juice and my Pizza and brought them back into my lair. I enjoy the Pizza and the orange juice and continue reading my comic book. After that I decided to watch my favorite K-drama on my Macbook, so I set my portable laptop desk on my bed. This way, I can watch my favorite show without having to leave my super cozy bed.

  161. A Trip to Tanjung Setia Beach

    Last year, at the end of the year, my wife and I decided to spend our holiday at Tanjung Setia beach, which located around 234 kilometers from Bandarlampung.

    When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see the beautiful view of the beach. After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold and windy, we realized that there were not many people there. We thought that it happened because it was too windy there during that time but we finally realized that it was Christmas holiday so almost all of tourists who are used to spending time there went back to their country.

    After spending few times swimming in the beach, we bought some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, and we rode our bikes down the beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. The next day we visited Labuan Jukung beach. There, we were amazed to see the high wave owned by this beach. Because it was so high that no body was brave enough to surf on it that time.

    The third day there, we decided to go home when we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted because of the trip but we were so happy to travel such an amazing beach Lampung province has.

    Yesterday I and my family went to Way Kambas national park to see the elephants and rhinos conserved there. Way Kambas National Park is a national park which is used as elephant and rhino sanctuary located in Labuhan Ratu District, East Lampung, Lampung, Indonesia
    .
    When we got to there, we saw some elephant performances such as playing football, sitting, greeting the visitors, and other entertaining performances. Unfortunately, we could not see the Sumatran rhinoceros because visitors must have a special permit in advance to see them. Visitors or ordinary tourists cannot see the Sumatran rhino’s natural breeding. In the afternoon we saw some animals which were being fed.

    When we returned home we were tired but we were happy because we had so much fun in Way Kambas.

When we arrived there, I was amazed by the beautiful scenery of the waterfall. The air was so fresh at that time and I could not bear to jump into the water immediately.

  168. My sister and I went to see a film last night. It was an American movie called The Lost Flight. It showed how people can quickly change when they have to look after themselves in the jungle. It was an interesting film about a plane which crashed on a small empty island in the Pacific Ocean.
    Although the passengers were safe, nobody knew where the plane had crashed. So the passengers had to learn how to hunt for food in the jungle and how to catch fish from the sea to eat. After a few weeks, the passengers were eating raw fish and meat.
    After they had been on the island for two months, three of the men made a boat and sailed away to find help. But their boat sank and they were drowned.
    The film ended without saying whether the passengers were rescued or not. But my sister and I enjoyed the film.

    After praying and taking a bath, I had my early breakfast. At about nine o’clock I was in my office but my soul wasn’t there. I was thinking about the lines that I had to say to her.

    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. Fachri actually spoke it quite well, but he was afraid to open his mouth, so I was the one who talked to people.

  175. Venice is a city in northern Italy. It is the capital of region Veneto. Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan Area. Venice has been known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Water”, “City of Bridges”, and “The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.

    Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.

    You can ride gondola there. It is the classical Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for tourists, or for weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies. Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses (“vaporetti”) which ply regular routes along the major canals and between the city’s islands. The city also has many private boats. The only gondolas still in common use by Venetians are the traghetti, foot passenger ferries crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without bridges.

    You can see the amusing city’s landmarks such as Piazza San Marco, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, Saint Mark’s Cathedral or villas of the Veneto. The villas of the Veneto, rural residences for nobles during the Republic, are one of the most interesting aspects of Venetian countryside.

    They are surrounded by elegant gardens, suitable for fashionable parties of high society. The city is also well known for its beautiful and romantic view, especially at night.

  176. A province is an administrative division, within a country or state. The term derives from the ancient Roman provincia, referring to the major territorial and administrative unit of the Roman Empire's territorial possessions outside Italy at that time. The term province has since been adopted by many countries, and it has come to mean "outside the capital city".
    Some provinces were made by colonial powers, others were formed around local groups with their own ethnic identities. Many of them have their own power and are the creation of central government, with a very limited autonomy.
    A popular etymology of the term is from Latin"pro-" ("on behalf of") and "vincere" ("to triumph" or "to take control of"). Thus a "province" would be a territory that a Roman magistrate held control of on behalf of his government. In fact, the word Province is an ancient term from public law, which means: "office belonging to a magistrate". This agrees with the Latin term's earlier usage as a generic term for a jurisdiction under Roman law.

In unitary states, subnational capitals are called as "administrative centres". An alternative term for capital city is headtown. The capital is often the largest city of its constituent.

Until now, this PKG has trained for about 300 elephants which have been deployed to all over the country.
    In Way Kambas National Park, there are some endangered animals such as Sumatran Rhinos, Sumatran elephant, Sumatran tiger, Mentok Rimba, and Buaya sepit. There are also so some plants which are mostly found there such as Api-api, Pidada, Nipah, and Pandan. On the marshy coasts of Way Kambas National Park is often found various species of birds, such as, Lesser Adjutant, Pheasant Blue, Kuau Raja, Pependang Timur, and some other birds.

  186. Watch
    A watch is a small timepiece intended to be worn by a person and it is designed to keep working despite the motions caused by the person's activities. Some watches are designed to be worn around the wrist, attached by a watch strap or other type of bracelet. Other watches are designed to be placed in someone’s pocket.
    A watch has various extra features, called "complications", such as moon-phase displays and the different types of tourbillon. Modern watches usually display the day, date, month and year. Time-related features such as timers, chronographs are also equipped the watches. Some other modern designs incorporate calculators, GPS and Bluetooth technology or have heart-rate monitoring capabilities. In order to correct the time automatically, some watches use radio clock technology.

  187. House
    A house is a building that functions as a home, ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes to complex, fixed structures of wood, brick, concrete or other materials containing plumbing, ventilation and electrical systems. Many houses have several large rooms and several small rooms with their specialized functions. Most modern houses usually consist of a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or cooking area, and a living room.
    Houses use a various roofing systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the dwelling space. Houses may have doors and locks to secure the dwelling space from burglars or other trespassers. A house may have a separate dining room or an integrated eating area with another room. Some large houses in North America even have a recreation room. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domestic animals such as chickens may share part of the house with humans. A social unit living in a house is known as a household.

  188. Beach
    A beach is a landform along a body of water which usually consists of loose particles such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, or cobblestones. The particles comprising a beach are occasionally biological in origin, such as mollusc shells or coralline algae.
    Nowadays, some beaches have man-made infrastructure, such as lifeguard posts, changing rooms, mushalla, and showers. They may also have hospitality venues (such as resorts, hotels, and restaurants) nearby. Wild beaches, also known as undeveloped beaches, are not developed in this manner. Wild beaches can be valued for their original beauty and preserved nature.
    Beaches typically occur in areas where wave or current action deposits and reworks sediments along the coast.

  189. Skateboard
    A skateboard is sport equipment used for the activity of skateboarding. It consists of a specially designed maplewood board combined with a polyurethane coating in order to have smoother slides and stronger durability. Most skateboards are made with 7 plies of this wood.
    Many skateboards exist with exotic or alternative constructions. Traditional complete skateboards consist of the deck (often with grip tape applied on top to enhance traction), trucks (with urethane bushings), wheels (with sealed bearings), nuts, and bolts to fasten the truck and wheel assembly to the bottom of the deck. Recently, electric skateboards have appeared. These no longer require the propelling of the skateboard by means of the feet; rather an electric motor propels the board, fed by an electric battery.
    The board types depend largely upon its desired function. The two common types of skateboards are the longboard and the shortboard. Longboards are type of skateboards with longer wheelbases (over 33 inches long) and larger, softer wheels. Shortboards are type of skateboards which commonly have a rectangular shape kicktail at the back and a rounded nose in the front. They are usually less than 34 inches long. Besides, Longboards are usually faster and are mostly used for cruising and racing, while shortboards are mostly used for doing tricks.
    A skateboard can be used by simply standing on the deck while on a downward slope. By simply standing on the deck while on a downward slope, gravity will propel the board and rider.

  190. Jeans
    Jeans are trousers typically made from denim or dungaree cloth. The term "jeans" commonly refers to a particular style of pants invented by Jacob W. Davis in partnership with Levi Strauss & Co. in 1871 and patented by Jacob W. Davis and Levi Strauss on May 20, 1873. Research shows that it emerged in the cities of Genoa, Italy, and Nimes, France. Gênes, the French word for Genoa, may be the origin of the word "jeans".
    Nowadays, jeans become a very popular article of casual dress around the world. They are available in many styles and colors. As well, although jeans are mostly known as a popular article of casual dress for several decades, they are still worn as protective garments by some people, such as cattle ranch workers and motorcycle riders, due to their high durability as compared to other common fabrics.

  191. On March 11, 2011, a magnitude-9 earthquake shook northeastern Japan, unleashing a savage tsunami. The earthquake was centered on the seafloor 45 miles (72 kilometers) east of Tohoku, at a depth of 15 miles (24 km) below the surface. The shaking lasted about six minutes.

    Residents of Tokyo received a minute of warning before the strong shaking hit the city, thanks to Japan’s earthquake early warning system. The country’s stringent seismic building codes and early warning system prevented many deaths from the earthquake, by stopping high-speed trains and factory assembly lines. People in Japan also received texted alerts of the earthquake and tsunami warnings on their cellphones.

    Less than an hour after the earthquake, the first of many tsunami waves hit Japan’s coastline. The tsunami waves reached run-up heights (how far the wave surges inland above sea level) of up to 128 feet (39 meters) at Miyako city and traveled inland as far as 6 miles (10 km) in Sendai. The tsunami flooded an estimated area of approximately 217 square miles (561 square kilometers) in Japan.

    The tsunami caused a cooling system failure at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which resulted in a level-7 nuclear meltdown and release of radioactive materials. The electrical power and backup generators were overwhelmed by the tsunami, and the plant lost its cooling capabilities. In July 2013, TEPCO, the Tokyo Electric Power Company, admitted that about 300 tons of radioactive water continues to leak from the plant every day into the Pacific Ocean.

  192. It is estimated that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 of them cause damage. The largest recorded earthquake in the world was a magnitude 9.5 (Mw) in Chile on May 22, 1960. The world’s deadliest recorded earthquake occurred in 1556 in central China. It struck a region where most people lived in caves carved from soft rock. These dwellings collapsed during the earthquake, killing an estimated 830,000 people. In 1976 another deadly earthquake struck in Tangshan, China, where more than 250,000 people were killed.

    Before electronics allowed recordings of large earthquakes, scientists built large spring-pendulum seismometers in an attempt to record the long-period motion produced by such quakes. The largest one weighed about 15 tons. There is a medium-sized one three stories high in Mexico City that is still in operation. The first “pendulum seismoscope” to measure the shaking of the ground during an earthquake was developed in 1751, and it wasn’t until 1855 that faults were recognized as the source of earthquakes.

    Most earthquakes occur at depths of less than 80 km (50 miles) from the Earth’s surface. The magnitude of an earthquake is a measured value of the earthquake size. The magnitude is the same no matter where you are, or how strong or weak the shaking was in various locations. The intensity of an earthquake is a measure of the shaking created by the earthquake, and this value does vary with location.

    Moonquakes (“earthquakes” on the moon) do occur, but they happen less frequently and have smaller magnitudes than earthquakes on the Earth. It appears they are related to the tidal stresses associated with the varying distance between the Earth and Moon. They also occur at great depth, about halfway between the surface and the center of the moon

  200. Saat raja Anak Dalam dan orang-orang nya melarikan diri dari kerajaan itu, pangeran dari Aceh pun kembali ke kerajaan nya. Kondisi ini menyebabkan karajaan Bangkahulu menjadi kosong dan tak terjaga. Mendengar berita ini, beberapa bangsawan dari Lebong Balik Bukit datang ke kerajaan itu dan mencoba menguasai nya. Namun bukannya menyatukan kekuatan mereka untuk mengambil tahta itu, para bangsawan itu malah bertarung satu sama lain memperebutkan takhta itu. Beberapa minggu kemudian, seorang pria yang bijak yang bernama Maharaja Sakti datang ke tanah itu dan membawa semua bangsawan itu pada sebuah persetujuan.

    Para bangsawan itu menyadari bahwa mereka tidak bisa menjadi seorang raja maka mereka meminta Maharaja Sakti untuk menjadi raja mereka dan mengambil alih kerajaan Bangkahulu. Maharaja Sakti setuju dengan ide mereka maka mereka mengadakan upacara penobatan di istana. Pada hari upacara itu, badai besar tiba-tiba saja muncul di kerajaan itu. Mereka pun membatalkan upacara penobatan itu dan menunggu badai nya mereda. Namun badai itu tidak juga mereda.
