soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The tortoise

All living things on the earth belong to the plant or the animal family. The plant family get their
food and water from the soil. They also need sunlight to grow. Some of them live in water and
get their food from the water. There are thousands of plants.

Dear Mellyani,
On my last school holiday, my classmates and I went to Borobudur. The Borobudur temple is
really magnificent. The hugeness of the temple really impressed me. How could our ancestors
build such a big temple? It was amazing.
In the temple, we went upstairs step by step. Walking around the temple, we saw many reliefs
on the temple walls. Some foreigners seemed interested in them. I overheard their conversation
with the guide. Actually, the relief tells a story.
It was really a nice experience! I hope you can go there someday.
