My Barbie Doll
I have a Silkstone Barbie Doll. It is a birthday present from my mother.
My Silkstone Barbie Doll is made of a very hard vinyl that mimics porcelain. The doll seems just
a bit taller than other Barbie dolls. It has a permanent model’s pose. Its right arm is bent for placement
on the hip. Its left leg is bent at the knee. The doll has joints at the neck, shoulders, hips and waist.
The knees do not bend on the doll: the position is permanent. The bent “on the hip” arm can make the
dolls a bit difficult to dress.
The outfits for my Silkstone Barbie Doll are full of details and are made of fine fabrics. The doll
is completed with extra clothing and accessories.
The doll is very beautiful. I like playing with it. It always accompanies me when I am lonely.
When I sleep, I always put it beside me. It is really my best friend.

Once I lived in a dormitory with some Australian students. There were about twenty of us on
the same floor and there were only two fridges available. Our neighbors were so friendly but
problems first emerged when my Singaporean neighbor put her chopped garlic in the fridge. All
the Australians complained about the garlic. But the Asians complained about the smell of pasta
(noodles) which to us, smelled like a toilet! At last, we decided to wrap garlic and pasta before
placing them in the fridge. This taught us to understand and respect each other’s cultures. So, it is
not good to fry ‘ikan asin’ or ‘sambal terasi’ if you live very near Australians!

When I first came to Bali I knew no Indonesian, but I was keen on speaking it. Therefore, usually
I experimented with sentences by guessing and putting words together. One day I was sitting on
the beach and a lady came up to me offering to sell me a sarong. I wanted to tell her that I had no
money but I didn't know how, so I decided to guess. “Saya tidak orang,” I said. The lady stared at
me in horror and touched me on the arm! Realizing I wasn’t a ghost, she started to laugh and told
me that it was ‘uang’ and that the word for ‘to have’ was ‘punya’. I’ll never forget my Indonesian
lesson that day. So the moral is don’t be afraid to make mistakes–it’s a great way of learning!
(Sarah Wood, an Australian exchange teacher working at IALF Bali)

When Arvan was in hospital, he stayed in the children’s ward. It was a long room with lots
of beds. There were other children in all the beds. Some of them smiled and waved to him.
There were lots of things for Arvan to do. First of all, he had a blood test. A nurse took a little
blood from him. She used a needle–it did sting a bit, but it wasn’t too bad. The nurse told Arvan
that the blood test would help the doctor find out how to take care of him.
Then, Arvan was taken to a special room in the X-ray department. A nurse helped him to
get up on a table, and asked him to lie there without moving. A giant-sized camera took
a photograph, called an X-ray, of Arvan’s insides. It didn’t hurt at all.
Arvan stayed in hospital for a few days. He made some new friends there, and his mother
came to visit him every day. A teacher came to the ward every day too, and she brought along
something for all the children to do. In the afternoon Arvan liked to draw pictures with the other
children.

a little blood from him using a needle. Actually it did sting a bit, but it wasn’t too bad. You know,
the blood test would help the doctor find out how to take care of Arvan.
After that, the nurse took Arvan to the X-ray room. She helped him to get up on a table and
asked him to lie there. Then, a giant-sized camera took a photograph of Arvan’s insides.

helped them. At about twelve p.m. we had lunch. Then, our activities began. At about one p.m. we
had to walk through the forest. We all know that we should keep the forest. We may not scratch or
take any exotic flowers. Moreover, we should not litter.
At first, we still had conversations and made jokes. However, when we arrived at the deeper
part in the forest, some girls shouted because they were afraid. They felt relieved after we finally
went out of the forest. Then, we had to cross a river. We did it hand in hand and we were happy
doing this. We also played in the water. At about five p.m., we arrived at our camping area. Then,
we cooked fried rice. This time, all boys cooked it. Guess what happened! Some were overcooked!
At six p.m., we had dinner. Then, we enjoyed the evening and had a bonfire. Some friends sang
songs, and some others had jokes. I myself played the guitar to accompany those who sang. At
about eleven p.m., we went sleeping.

Well, my mother ever told me that when I was a kid, just around about two years old, I was
nearly drowned. At that time I was playing by the pond in my house, and apparently I slipped and
fell in. However, somehow I stood up just enough so my mouth was sticking out above the water.
And I didn’t cry out. I was apparently too busy trying to breathe. Eventually, my mother came out.
Well, she found me standing in the pond with my head just above the water. Then, she pulled me
out before anything bad happened. Luckily, there was nothing serious about me.

My family likes the sea very much. When we had a holiday last year, we went to a place at the
seaside and borrowed a boat from one of our friends. Then, we sailed and fished on the sea all
day. We also had races against other boats.
When the sea was rough, we sailed on a small lake near the sea instead. We were very
careful on this lake because there were a lot of sharp rocks there, and the water was shallow. We
did not want to damage our friend’s boat.
There were not many fish in the lake, but in the sea we caught a lot with a hook, line and small
pieces of bread. The fish were not very big, but they tasted very good. When the weather was fine,
we sailed to the land at lunch time, collected pieces of dry wood and fried or grilled our fish over
them on the beach.
There is an island about a mile from our friend’s house, and we sailed to it. The water was
very clear there, and there was a beautiful beach with white sand and no rocks. We bathed there.
It was a lot of fun.

I have a younger sister. I love her very much. However, one day, when she and I were eating

mother came. She asked us, “Oh, no. Who broke the glass?”
I was really afraid to tell her the fact because the glass was one of my mother’s favorites,
I guessed. I said, “Not . . . me. It was Ela.”
Ela felt shocked hearing this. I could see it from her face. She tried to defend hersef, “No. It
was Eka . . . .” But mother believed me more than her.
Then, mother asked her, “If you have made a mistake, confess it bravely. Now, sweep the floor
and clean it from the broken glass. Eka, please help your sister.” I helped her. But I saw there were
some tears in her big eyes. I kept silent. In my heart, I felt that I won over her.
However, since that time, she didn’t want to be with me anymore. She played with her doll and
directly left when I approached her. She also didn’t come to my class during the break as she
usually did before. And, she kept locking herself in her room. I felt really lonely, and realized that it
was my fault actually. I felt guilty.
Then, one day, I approached her when she was playing. She was almost leaving. However,
I grasped her hand and said, “Forgive me, dear sister. It was my fault.” At first she still didn’t want
to see me. However, I kept apologizing. Then, she finally said, “O.K.” She cried. I embraced her
and promised I would never do it anymore.

Dear Mirima,
My brother and I are in Bukittinggi now. We arrived here on Sunday morning at five.
It was already busy probably because of the holidays. We went directly to the remains of
De Kock Fortress and found a lot of people jogging along this area. We took a rest here,
sat under the tree and enjoyed the fresh air.
It was almost 6:30 a.m. We went to a famous warung, called “Pical si Kai”. Here we
had coffee, pical, ketupat gulai, etc. Because all hotels had been full, we rented a room in
a house nearby. The room was quite nice and clean. The rent was not too expensive.
At about eight we went to Sianok Valley. It is such a very beautiful valley. On the
bank of the valley there is a long cave, called Japanese cave. It is very long. It goes
deeply into the ground with an entrance at one end, and an exit at the other end. The
people here said that a long time ago the cave was used by the Japanese army to protect
themselves from the Dutch attack. At that time it seemed that there was nothing in the
ground. Both the entrance and the exit were covered by plants.
That’s our first day in Bukittinggi. We are going to visit Lake Maninjau, Lembah Anai
Falls, etc. the following day. Hope to be here with you someday. Please reply soon.
Love,

a hill about seven kilometers from my house. We spent two days there. It was really
a nice experience, you know. Moreover, we all who joined the camp are girls! So,
we did what boys usually do when we were camping, like bringing our heavy stuff,
carrying pails of water from the river nearby, etc. We also built our tents ourselves.
It was really enjoyable for us. It was like we had our own home. Wanna try with me?
O.K., that’s all about my holiday. See you soon.

Dear Putri,
Putri, I’m so glad knowing that you and your family will come here next holiday. We
haven’t met each other for a long time. I miss you so much. If you come here, I will show
you a new park in my town. It is a nice place.
You said you and your family would go by train. However, I don’t know when you will
come here exactly. Please tell me the time, so I can pick you up at the railway station.
O.K., that’s all for now. Please reply soon. My love to Auntie, Uncle and Raka.
Love,
Diana

C. Write a letter to your friend or family based on one of the topics below.
Topics:
● Your experience when you were an elementary school student.
● Your sad/embarrassing experience.
Dear Ida,
How have you been? I really miss you because we haven’t met since we graduated from
elementary school.
I remember when we first got to be close to each other. When we were in the fourth grade,
in the art lesson. Mr. Gunawan asked us to sing a national song. When it was my turn to come
forward, I felt really afraid. I didn’t want to do it. All our friends encouraged me, including you.
Finally, I stepped forward, but I didn’t know what to sing. Even Mr. Gunawan sang a song
himself and asked me to repeat after him. However, his attempt was useless. I still didn’t sing.
Then, I went to my seat. He got angry with me. Later, during the break, you approached me
and encouraged me. You said that I had a good voice. You also said that not all our friends
were better than me. I felt courageous because of your encouragement. Then, after the break,
I told Mr. Gunawan that I would sing, and I made it. Since that time, you always encouraged
me whenever I felt down. Thanks, mate.
Now, it’s been more than a year we have separated from each other. I believe you have
stories to tell. I look forward to hearing from you.
With love,
Betsy

Contoh jawaban:
Dear Anita,
How was your holiday? Did you have any interesting experience during your holiday?
Well, I want to tell you my experience. Last holiday my friends and I went to the zoo.
It is a new zoo in my town. Many people are interested to visit it, including us.
Actually, the zoo is not far from our houses. That’s why we just rode our bikes.
Arriving there, we bought the tickets. Entering the zoo, we could see many animals in their
own shelters or cages. Firstly, we saw the elephants shelter. There were four elephants in
the shelter. Wow! They were really big!
Then, we went to the monkey cage. Actually I wanted to throw some peanuts to the
monkeys, but we were not allowed to do it. We just smiled and laughed looking at the
monkey’s behavior.
After that, we walked around the zoo and saw many other animals. We were in the
zoo for about two hours. We really enjoyed our holiday there. Will you come and see the
zoo some day with me?
Love,

Nusa Tenggara
Nusa Tenggara is the name for the chain of islands which lies to the east of Bali. Including
the islands of Komodo, Lombok, Flores and Timor, Nusa Tenggara spans a variety of
landscapes, from tropical forests, high volcanic lakes and dry savannahs. The largest islands
are Lombok and Sumbawa, with hundreds of smaller islands between. East Nusa Tenggara has
566 islands. The long northern arch of the island chain is the result of volcanic activity, whilst
the southern islands are formed from coral deposits.
Most of the eastern islands are arid, due to hot winds blowing from the continent of
Australia and sparsely vegetated. The Western half of Nusa Tenggara is moister and has
denser vegetation. The Northern part of the chain is known for deep lakes contained in the
craters of extinct volcanoes, the most famous of which are the colored mineral lakes on Gunung
Keli Mutu in Flores.

National Museum
National Museum is known among Indonesians as ‘Museum Gajah’ or ‘Elephant Museum’
because of a small, sculpture of an Asian elephant which is mounted in front of it. The elephant,
like the bulk of the museum’s collection, dates back to colonial times. This colonial building with its
Doric columns keeps one of the most astounding collections of artifacts in all Southeast-Asia.
The building is designed around a central courtyard that is the museum’s sculpture garden.
The presentation of the exhibits is very simple. Here you can find exhibits from all of the major
kingdoms of Indonesia’s rich Hindu-Buddhist past. Highlights include Sanskrit inscriptions from
Sumatra’s Sriwijaya kingdom and beautiful Hindu statues from East Javanese dynasties. Best of
all is a massive fourteenth century statue of King Adityavarman standing on human skulls. This
statue holds pride of place at the end of the courtyard and is one of the most important statues
ever made in Indonesia.

Good morning, friends. I’d like to tell you about Halim Perdana Kusuma. Sound familiar, doesn’t it?
Well, Halim Perdana Kusuma International Airport is named after him. Here’s the story.
One day, he and his colleague Ismayudi got a duty to buy and carried many weapons, using
airplane. He flew an airplane named “Enderson” from Thailand. However, on the way home, a bad thing
happened; his plane crashed. The cause is still a mystery. Some people said that his plane was due to
bad weather or sabotaged. The rescue team found the plane in a forest not far from Lumut, Perak,
Malaysia. They only evacuated Halim’s dead body while Ismayudi remains unknown. They even couldn’t
find the weapons which Halim bought and carried. Firstly, Halim’s dead body was burried in Mount
Mesah, near Gopeng, Perak, Malaysia. Some years later, his body was taken back to Indonesia and
was burried in Kalibata, Jakarta. Later, the government bestowed him the Indonesian National Hero.

Tapir
I saw a strange animal in the safari park. It is a tapir. It belongs to Asian tapirs.
The tapir is black at the front and white at the back. It has four toes on the front feet and
three behind. It also bears a pronounced, beak-shaped trunk.
The tapir lies-up during the day in dense undergrowth (often close to a river or stream).
Its coloring serves to confuse predators, like tigers, when it is active, at night. Although, unlike
rhinos, the tapir does not wallow in mud baths, it is fond of water and is an excellent swimmer.
This animal will often take to a river if pursued and spend most of its daylight time there,
especially when the sun shines so brightly.

The Sea Eagle
There is an eagle nesting on the tree top near my grandparent’s house in Pangandaran.
It was 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 chickens and small birds. It is
easy to recognize because it has a strong a streamlined, sharp beak and a stream-line body.
Its forelimbs (or arms) serve as wings. This means that they are of little use for anything
except flying. It walks on two legs and has a very flexible neck and strong beak to handle foods,
to care for its feathers, and for many other jobs that non-flying animals do with paws, claws or
hands on their forelimbs.

Petronas Twin Towers
The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers), in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia, were once the world’s tallest buildings when measured from the level of the main
entrance to the structural or architectural top. The towers are also the tallest twin towers in the
world, and they lay claim to being the world’s tallest high rise of the 20th century.
These towers, designed by architect César Pelli, were completed in 1998 and became the
tallest buildings in the world on the date of completion. The 88-floor towers are constructed
largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found
in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia’s Muslim religion. They were built on the site of Kuala
Lumpur’s race track. Because of the depth of the bedrock, the buildings were built on the world’s
deepest foundations, around 120-meter deep.
Tower One is fully occupied by the Petronas Company and a number of its subsidiaries and
associate companies. The office spaces in Tower Two are mostly available for lease to other
companies. A number of companies have offices in Tower Two, including Accenture, Al Jazeera
English, Bloomberg, Boeing, IBM, Khazanah Nasional Berhad, McKinsey & Co, Microsoft,
Newfield Exploration, Exact Software and Reuters. Below the twin towers is Suria KLCC,
a popular shopping mall, and Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, the home of the Malaysian
Philharmonic Orchestra. Outside the building is a park with jogging and walking paths,
a fountain with incorporated light show, wading pools, and a children’s playground.
The feature of skybridge connect the two towers on 41st and 42nd floors. The bridge is
170 m high and 58 m long. The same floor is also known as the podium since visitors desiring to
go to higher levels have to change elevators here. The skybridge is open to all visitors, but
passes (limited to around 1400 people per day, which usually run out before noon) must be
obtained on a first-come, first-served basis. Passes are free. The skybridge is closed on
Mondays.

I have a story about being embarrassed in Australia due to differences in culture. My story
is about ordering tea at a coffee shop.
I always had a nice cup of tea every morning in Indonesia. It gave me a great feeling in the
morning. So, when I arrived in the early morning for the first time at Sydney airport, the first thing
that I looked for was a coffee shop. Finally, I found a nice coffee shop with many people queuing
to order.
Quite confidently I jumped into the queue. I thought that I had better English than before
since I had recently learned English at IALF. Then, a very friendly girl asked me if she could help
me. I said that I would like to have a cup of tea.
Then, she asked me what kind of tea I would like to order, black or white tea? I thought she
was making a morning joke with me. My quick response, but with some confusion, was that
I said red tea please. With a very unfriendly face she asked me again, “Black or white tea,
please?”, I didn’t say anything as I didn’t know what actually black or white tea was. I only knew
that having tea is normally with or without sugar.
Then, she said, “Next, please.” She then asked the next customer behind me. I realised
then that I didn’t understand Australian customs.
One day I had a cup of tea at the university tea room and I saw a lady drinking tea with milk
in it. Then, I asked her, “Can I say that you are having a white tea?” She smiled and said, “Yes,
you can.” Finally, I understood that black tea is no milk added and white tea is with milk. How big
is the difference of having tea between Indonesian and Australian people!!!

Hi, friends. Do you know Fatahillah Square or Taman Fatahillah in Jakarta? It is an open-air
museum of ‘Old Batavia’. Um . . . have you ever been there?
Well, last month my family and I visited Fatahillah Square. We went there by car. Arriving
there, we parked our car in the parking lot. Er . . . there are three main establishments. They are
Jakarta Museum, the Fine Arts Gallery, the Ceramic Museum and the Wayang Museum. We
visited the Jakarta Museum first. There, we could see the colonial history of the city. The tour
guide explained us the history clearly. After that, we went to the Fine Arts Gallery and the
Ceramic Museum. We found an excellent Chinese and Southeast Asian ceramic collections.
The ceramics are very beautiful, you know. Anyway, do you know who donated the ceramics?
Well, . . . the ceramics were donated by the late former Vice President Adam Malik.
Then, we went to the western side of the square. There, we visited the Wayang Museum.
Guess what we saw there! We saw many puppets used in the indigenous puppet theater.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t see the demonstration of the shadow play. It is usually played on
Sunday morning for about two hours. Well, that’s all my experience in Fatahillah Square.
Interesting, isn’t it?

I have an unforgettable experience during my holiday in Bali. My family and I joined the Bali
Adventure and we got many interesting things.
I woke up early that day since I didn’t want to miss the adventure. We started the trip at
about six in the morning. Our destination was Bali Adventure Tours’ Elephant Safari Park. During
the trip, we saw the greenness, small villages and winding hillside roads.
Arriving at the park, we saw some elephants there. Accompanied by my guide, Made, we
rode on an elephant. We set off on a leisurely two hour trek through the surrounding jungle.
Made and I set off on a snug trail that poked in and out of the jungle, through rice paddocks and
over streams. Along the way, he pointed out every imaginable spice, fruit and vegetable. I saw
rich coffee plants and cocoa trees.
Two hours after we set out into the jungle, I saw a mighty elephant hum drumming its way
back to the safari park with a cargo of Japanese tourists on its back. Made and I made our way
behind it and followed her into the park.
It was really an unforgettable experience for us.

One day Sandra Dewi fell sick in the middle of the English lesson. All the students did
reading tasks. Suddenly, Sandra Dewi vomited. All other students stopped writing. Ms. Lidia
helped her immediately. The captain of the class sent for the school’s doctor.
In five minutes the doctor came. He examined her carefully. He examined her eyes. He felt
her stomach. He listened to her heart beat. He measured her blood pressure.
Then, he took her temperature. “I’m afraid she suffers from malaria. Her temperature is very
high. That is why she vomited. She has a very bad cough, too. I’ll give her some pills for her malaria,
some tablets for her fever and syrup for her cough. She needs a week’s rest,” said the doctor.

Last night, I read an article about adolescence in a magazine. I learned that it was a time of
change between childhood and adulthood.
After I finished reading the article from the magazine, I remembered my own adolescence.
I was fourteen at that time. I felt very emotional about everything. But I tried to learn more about
myself. I tried to discover what I wanted to do, and what kind of people I wanted to be.
To divert my emotions, I took many extra curricular activities. I took piano lessons on
Mondays. On Tuesdays, I joined an English course. Then, on Wednesdays and Thursdays,
I had extra science and math lessons. Fridays, it was my time to play basketball with my friends.
Finally, I spent most of my weekends with my family.
I was able to control my emotions and to have a place where I could express my creativity
in positive ways.

Last Saturday I woke up early, but I didn’t get up because there was no school. Suddenly,
my telephone was rung. It was my friend Fanny, she asked me to go out at 10:00 o clock. She
wanted to buy something in a traditional market.
Finally, we were out. In the street, I saw a piece of pink coupon. Interested in its color, I took
it, then Fanny and I read this out. We were fully shocked, it was a receipt of a four nights tour to
Lombok!! The expired date was that day. To our surprise, the name was Fanny Fenita and the
birth date was exactly the same like Fanny my friend, and it was also valid for two persons.
My God!! We were thinking that maybe the coupon just fell from the sky and it was there for us.
We were hurried to the address of the tour agency that issued the coupon. The tour agency
took care of everything. We went home and still could not believe what was going on. Two days
later we were on the Senggigi Beach, lied in the warmth sun. Moreover, we had long public
holiday, so we could enjoy the “gift” happily. We also bought some presents for our family and
friends.

Merdeka Palace
Istana Merdeka is a palace complex in Central Jakarta, Indonesia. It was built in 1873 by
the Dutch government. The palace was formerly named Istana Gambir.
In the beginning, this 3.375 m² Greek architecture building had two stories. But in 1848,
the upper floor was demolished, and the lower floor was made bigger for making a more formal

Bhinneka Tunggal Ika
The national emblem of the Republic of Indonesia, Garuda Pancasila, is emblazoned with
the words Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. They mean ‘Unity in Diversity’ or ‘We are of many kinds, but we
are one’. This motto is a founding principle of the modern Indonesian nation, which declares the
essential unity of its members despite ethnic, regional, social or religious differences.
The concept of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika is not new to Indonesian history. It can be traced back
to the time of the construction of Borobudur when the Sailendra dynasty ruled on the plains of
Central Java in the eighth and ninth centuries. Two hundred years later, in the Brantas Valley in
East Java, King Airlangga built a united kingdom based on this same principle.
It was, however, the 14th century poet sage of Majapahit, Mpu Tantular, who is said to have
committed the phrase to writing for the first time. In his religious poem Sutasoma, composed
during the reign of King Rajasanagara (Hayam Wuruk), Mpu Tantular expounded a doctrine of
reconciliation between the Hindu and Buddhist faiths. Such a spirit of religious tolerance was
an essential element in the foundation and security of the newly emerging State of Majapahit,
which reached the height of its power and influence under the guiding hand of the Prime Minister
Gajah Mada.
The words of Mpu Tantular were an inspiration to the founders of the first Independent
Government of the Republic of Indonesia, and today they are found immortalized on the national
emblem.

Abraham Lincoln, or so-called Abe, was the 16th President of the United States. He was
born on February 12, 1809, in a log cabin on a Kentucky farm. Abe was raised on four farms:
three in Kentucky and one in Indiana. His family moved to Indiana because of their dislike of
slavery. His father and mother hated slavery. Abe’s mother died of milk poisoning, so times were
hard. Abe moved away and started his own life.
Abraham Lincoln was a great man. He had a great personality and really cared about
others. He taught many people that they could pull their own part as he did his own things
to entertain his guests.
Later, Abe became a lawyer and could then run for president. He decided to do so and won
the election as the next president. Like his parents, the President hated slavery, so he did not
tolerate the slavery in the South. Therefore, he tried to make slavery go away and he succeeded
by winning the war on slavery. Abe was a happy man after slavery was vanished.
One day the President received an invitation to Ford’s Theater and attended even though
he might be in danger. At that time, the President’s bodyguard didn’t do his duty and took
a break. The President and his wife arrived at Ford’s Theater along with General Rathbone and
his wife. Then, a man came in the box and shot the President. The man who shot Abe was John
Wilkes Booth. The President Abraham Lincoln passed away.
