Having a Stomachache
I had a really bad experience last Tuesday. That evening, I saw some mangoes on the table. I was happy because I really like the fruit. I peeled one and ate greedily. I peeled another two. My mother had advised me not to do so, but I said that I would be just fine.
The next morning, I went to school. The first class was Math and I had a test. During the test, I suddenly felt my stomachache. I tried to control and finished my test. However, I could not. I had to go to the toilet. I went there three times. Because of my awkward behavior, my teacher thought I had been cheating. I explained what happened. He understood.
However, the test time was almost over and certainly I could not finish it. Luckily, the teacher understood and gave me a chance to do a remedial test the following day. Oh, what a pity! I felt regretful, not listening to my mother's advice.

Having an Exciting Tour
Last holiday, I and my classmate had an exciting tour. We went to Jogjakarta and Central Java. We departed from Jakarta on Saturday morning. We arrived in Jogjakarta in the evening. We stayed in Garuda hotel there. Because we were very tired, after traveling a whole day, we just took a rest in the hotel that night.
Next morning, we went to Kraton Jogjakarta, the palace of the king. After looking around the palace for about four hours, we continued the journey to Borobudur Temple in Central java. We spent the whole afternoon there, admiring the magnificent temple. We bought some handicrafts. Then we returned to Jogjakarta. Before coming back to the hotel, we stopped by the Malioboro Street Market to buy some souvenirs.
On Monday morning, we checked out from the hotel and went back to Jakarta. On the way home, we came by Jati Jajar Cave. We arrived in Jakarta late at night. Although we were very exhausted, we were very happy because we enjoyed the journey and got many experience.
