Dear Hendra,
Hi.... I hope this letter finds you well. Do
you remember today is a friendship day. In this
occasion I want to express my deep feeling of
gratitude to you for being my best friend. You
know for me you’re the one and the only best
friend ever. You are humorous in nature. And I
love it. You make me laugh all time with your
clever jokes. I want to be a humorist like you,

your ID-card even though you needed it to
borrow some books for your own project. It
was really touching. That showed how kind you
are. Moreover, many times, you brought me
some novels although I knew you didn’t like
reading such kind of books. Furthermore, you
always helped me with my tasks whenever I
found difficulties in my maths problems. You
are very brilliant in maths. I really thank you
very much for all those things you have done to
me.
Finally, I want to say that I intend to
express this feeling for a long time but I can’t.
On this friendship day, through this letter, let
me show my appreciation for becoming my good
friend. May you always be my good friend
forever.
Your best friend,
Santi

Dear Mellyani,

upstairs step by step. Walking around the temple,
we saw many reliefs on the temple walls. Some
foreigners seemed interested in them. I overhead
their conversation with the guide. Actually the reliefs
tell a story. It was really a nice experience! I hope
you can go there someday.
Love,
Renny

There are about 5,000 different
species of ladybugs in the world. These
much loved critters are also known as lady
beetles or ladybird beetles. They come in
many different colors and patterns, but the
most familiar in North America is the seven-
spotted ladybug, with its shiny, red-and-
black body.
The name “ladybug” was created by
European farmers who prayed to the Virgin
Mary when pests began eating their crops.
After ladybugs came and wiped out the
invading insects, the farmers named them
“beetle of Our Lady.” This eventually was
shortened to “lady beetle” and “ladybug.”
In many cultures, ladybugs are
considered good luck. Most people like
them because they are pretty, graceful, and
harmless to humans. But farmers love them
because they eat aphids and other plant-
eating pests. One ladybug can eat up to
5,000 insects in its lifetime!
Most ladybugs have oval, dome-
shaped bodies with six short legs.
Depending on the species, they can have
spots, stripes, or no markings at all. Seven-
Page 11
spotted ladybugs are red or orange with
three spots on each side and one in the
middle. They have a black head with white
patches on either side.
Ladybugs are colorful for a reason.
Their markings tell predators: “Eat
something else! I taste terrible.” When
threatened, the bugs will secrete an oily,
foul-tasting fluid from joints in their legs.
They may also play dead. Birds are
ladybugs’ main predators, but they also fall
victim to frogs, wasps, spiders, and
dragonflies.
Ladybugs are happy in many different
habitats, including grasslands, forests,
cities, suburbs, and along rivers. Seven-
spotted ladybugs are native to Europe but
were brought to North America in the mid-
1900s to control aphid populations.
Ladybugs are most active from spring
until fall. When the weather turns cold, they
look for a warm, secluded place to
hibernate, such as in rotting logs, under
rocks, or even inside houses. These
hibernating colonies can contain thousands
of ladybugs.
17. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. Many cultures have ladybugs symbols
C. People love ladybugs colors
B. Ladybugs are symbols of good luck
