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.

My Sister First Flight

I took my sister, Katy, for her first flight last month. When we arrived at the airport, she wanted to know why the official weighed the luggage. Then she wondered why she needed a passport. She didn't understand what the security check for. Then she asked who the flight attendant was. When she saw the plane, she couldn't understand what the captain did and where he sat.

What a lot of questions! I was very pleased when we landed.

Visiting Ketep Pass

Last holiday, I visited Ketep Pass in Magelang Regency. It offers the view of high land. I went there with my friends. We left Solo at 7 p.m. through Salatiga town. On the way to Ketep, we enjoyed the view of cocoa plantation and beautiful landscape.

After three hours riding, we arrived at Ketep Pass. Unfortunately, it was still foggy. We were so disappointed because we could not see the beauty of high land. Then we decided to enter the museum of Merapi volcano. There are many pictures of eruption. After that, we continued to see the Merapi eruption film. It was really great. I have never seen it before.

All of us felt very happy because we have got a lot of new experiences.

Sea Eagle

There is an eagle nesting on the tree top near my grandparent's house in Pangandaran. It is a sea eagle.

The color of its feathers is light brown. It has a strong and sharp yellowish beak. Its claws are very sharp. It hunts for fish in the sea but sometimes it hunts chicken and small birds.

Eagle has many sizes, shapes, and colors, but the sea eagle is easy to recognize because it has a strong and streamlined, sharp beak and a stream - line body.
Its forelimbs (or arms) serve as wings. This means that they are of little use of anything except flying. It walks on two legs and has a very flexible neck and strong beak to handle foods, to care of its feathers, and for many other jobs that non-flying animals do with paws, claws, or hands on their forelimbs.
