Amy has been my close friend for a year. I first met her in this college, University of

ever since.
Amy is quite good-looking. She is very beautiful and smart, with white skin and she uses
a veil. Like many Indonesian people, she has a great sense of style, so she always looks well-
dressed even in casual clothes.
Amy is very outgoing. She is always friendly and loves to have fun. She has a fantastic
sense of humour and she always makes me laugh. However, she can be a bit immature at
times. For example, when she doesn’t get what she wants, she acts so childish and stamps
his feet.
Amy is very diligent in her study. She likes to listen to music and sometimes, she
spends a lot of money to do some shopping.

One day a lion slept in the jungle. A tiny mouse ran over the Lion’s head and down his
nose. The lion awoke with a loud roar. He was very angry. His paw caught the little mouse.The
Lion opened his huge jaws to swallow the mouse.
“Pardon me. O King, I beg of you,” cried the frightened mouse.
“If you forgive me this time, I will never forget your kindness. If you let me stay alive, I can
do you a good turn, too.”
The lion began to laugh. He laughed and laughed.
“How could a tiny creature like you ever do anything to help?” And he shook with laughter.
“Oh, well,” he shrugged, looking down at the frightened Mouse, “You are not so much of a
meal anyway.” Then, he released his paw from the Mouse, and the Mouse quickly ran away.
Some times after this, some hunters tried to capture the lion alive. They set a rope nets in
the jungle. The Lion fell into the trap. He roared and thrashed.
The tiny mouse heard the Lion’s roar. And he ran to see whether he could help.
Discovering the sad Lion, the Mouse said into him, “Stop, stop! You must not roar. If you make so
much noise, the hunters will come and capture you. I’ll get you out of this trap.”
With his sharp little teeth, the mouse gnawed at the ropes until they broke. The Lion
stepped out of the net and was free. Then the Mouse said, “Now was I not right?”
“Thank you good Mouse,” said the Lion gently. “You did help me. I see now that kindness is
always worthwhile.”

Iguanas
Jawab : A are reptiles that belong to a large family called the lizards. They are often seen
basking in the sun on the branches of trees. If disturbed they will plunge into the water.
Most iguanas are found in the Americas. The best-known type is the common, or green,
iguana, which is found from Mexico southward to Brazil. Two kinds of iguana live on the
Galápagos Islands of the eastern Pacific Ocean. Most iguanas live in deserts or other dry
habitats, but some live in rain forests.
The different types of iguana vary in size and color, but most are greenish. The male
common iguana grows up to 6.5 feet (2 meters) long and weighs up to 13 pounds (6
kilograms). It is green with dark bands that form rings on its tail. The female is grayish green
and about half as heavy as the male.
Most iguanas eat leaves and fruits, but they will also eat insects, small mammals, and
birds. The marine iguana of the Galápagos Islands feeds on seaweed. The male common
iguana marks out its territory during the rainy season, and the iguanas form mating pairs. Some
iguanas live to an age of 30 years or more.

At dawn, tiny drops of water often cling to plants and grass. This moisture is called dew.
Dew forms in the night air through a process called condensation. Air contains water in the
form of a gas called water vapor. In the evenings, when warm, moist air passes over cool
surfaces, the air cools down. The water vapor in the air begins to condense, or form into small
drops. The drops cling to cool surfaces such as leaves, flower petals, and grass. The
temperature at which this condensation begins to happen is known as the dew point.
Dew usually forms on clear nights when the air is calm. Dew can form on any surface
that is cool and exposed to the sky. It often forms on the ground and on plants because these
things usually cool faster than the air. For the same reason, dew often collects on the tops of
cars. The time of night when dew begins to form is called dewfall.
Water vapor usually moves downward to form dew on surfaces below it. But water vapor
can also move upward. Water vapor will move up from the ground if the ground is warmer than
something above it, such as a leaf. Dew then forms on the leaf.

There once lived a monk called Shan, in a village in China. He had earned a great name
for himself. But he was very arrogant.
Qui Jun heard of his arrogance and wanted to teach the monk a lesson. He went to
meet Shan who neither greeted him nor acknowledged his presence.
Just then a servant of the monk came with a message: “The son of an army officer is
here to see you.”
The monk said, “I will go and greet him.”
Qui Jun and Shan welcomed the son of the army officer with respect.
After the army officer’s son had departed Qui Jun asked Shan the reason for his double-
faced behaviour. “Why is it that you greeted the army officer’s son so respectfully, yet behaved
so arrogantly towards me?”
Shan the Monk had a quick reply: “Please don’t get me wrong. For me greeting means
not greeting and not greeting means greeting.”
Qui Jun understood the monk’s mischief and hit him hard on his head with
his stick.
“According to your logic, beating you means not beating and not beating you means
beating. Therefore, I have to give you a beating,” said Qui Jun.
Shan immediately realised the folly of his actions and started showing
respect to everyone he met, irrespective of their status.

I really enjoyed my holiday in Australia. Last Sunday I visited a marine park called Sea
World which is at Surfers’ Paradise near Brisbane. It’s Australia’s largest marine park and I
had a wonderful day there.
The first thing I saw was the Oceanorium where you can watch all sorts of sea fish and
animal under watching a man feeding the sharks. He wore a special diving suit.
Then I watched the performance of sea animals. The saw was in a big outdoor
swimming pool. There were killer whales, dolphins, and sea lions, and they did all sort of
fantastic things in the water. One of the girls in the show rode around the pool on the back of
killing whale, and another girl rode underwater on the back of a big turtle. After that I had
lunch. There were several big restaurants at the park and I had lunch in a restaurant that was
shape like ship! Then I watched a wonderful water-ski show which was held on a lake.
