Dear Rossa,
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with a girlfriend. She is twenty-five years
old. We have been dating each other for years, since we were high school student. Now we have
jobs. I feel very sure that we love each other. Now it is time for me to get married. Unfortunately,
her parents never approve our relationship ever since the very first time. My family, anyhow,
does not really mind. At first I thought my girlfriend had the power to defend our love. But then
she surrendered. She loves me and she loves her family too. On the one hand she said, “I’ll be
happy if my family is happy.” It means she had to get approval from her parents.
For this, I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our relationship just at the time when I
was ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot in common and
there were no conflict. The truth was, we separated only because of her parents. They want her
to marry her cousin, her aunt’s son (this is one of the traditions in the Karonese).
For the being I am very upset. When I miss her I call her. Then we can eat together, talk
together. The real problem is, she cannot refuse what her parents want.
So, should I forget my girlfriend, the only one that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait, and
dream that one day she will be back to me?
Rio, Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her your girlfriend, but she has chosen her own way. For this reason I’d say that there is
nothing you can do except forget her and go on with your normal life. Hopefully you can find
another love and life happily forever.

“Koko, where are you?” Hamid called softly to his cat. “He may have wandered to the harbor,”

Tanjung Priok Harbor. Two policemen were guarding the gate. The boys moved quietly so that

The boys knew koko was somewhere near the gate because they had heard him meowing. The

trunk and Hamid saw Koko crouching among some bags.
Not long after that, those men left. Hamid quickly ran to the taxi. Finding the car trunk unlocked,
Hamid lifted the lid. What a shock! There were bags of explosive! At the moment, Hamid heard
the men coming back. He swept Koko into his arms and ran back to where Muchtar was keeping
watch.
“Those men are smugglers trying to bring explosive into the harbor,” Hamid whispered to
Muchtar. “What shall we do?” asked Muchtar fearfully. “We must alert the policemen at the gate.”
Hamid said.
The boys moved cautiously until they reached the gate. Hamid told the policemen what he had
seen. The policemen did not really believe him, but they went with the boys to the taxi. The
policemen were just in time to see the men taking the bags of explosive out of the trunk. The
policemen quickly stopped the men and handcuffed them.

Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs. About 36,000 to 50,000 eggs are laid,
and these are carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they are ready to hatch. The eggs hatch
into caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon the caterpillars are ready to spin their
cocoons. Not all caterpillars can spin silk cocoons. Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth
known as “Bombyx mori” can do such spinning.
This caterpillar has special glands which secrete liquid silk through its lower lip. The liquid
produced later hardens to form thin strands. The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these
strands. The threads on the outside of the cocoons are rough, while those inside are soft and
smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are then put into
hot water to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are reeled out the cocoons. The
length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about one-and-a-half
kilometers. Twist several of these threads together can make single women material.
The sense of taste is one of a person’s five senses. We taste with the help of taste buds
on the tongue.
There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other taste are just
mixture of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongues has more than fifteen thousand taste buds (or cells). These
are connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called taste messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste buds will pick up the
taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. This
happens in just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste.
These four groups are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste buds for salty and sweet taste are found round the tip of the tongue and along
its sides. Sour taste can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste buds of the bitter
taste are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste buds at the center of the
tongue.
The sentence of smell and sight can affect taste. The delicious smell of food increases its
taste. Similarly, attractive colors can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does

To improved comfort and cleanliness in our school, a number of dustbins should be increased.
When we look at classrooms, school corridors and school yard, there are papers, mineral water
cups, straws, and napkins here and there. The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort really
hinders learning and teaching environment. Litter throw carelessly cause desease, especially
empty plastic cups or glasses. They can be filled up with water coming from the rain. This can be
places for dengue mosquitoes to lay their eggs. Besides, these rubbish can deteriorate the
scene. Well painted wall and green school yard do not mean anything if litter is scattered
everywhere.
Anyway, I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for their school
environment. They put their litter on the proper place. But some are not diligent enough to find
the dustbins. The number of dustbin in our school are not enough. More dustbins should be put
beside stairs, outside the classrooms, and some more along the corridors. Probably one dustbins
should be in every ten meters. So when students want to throw away their litter, they can find the
dustbin easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dustbins, we do not have problems of uncleanliness and
discomfort any more. Our school will be very clean and become a nice place to study.

My brother and I went to a football match yesterday. Our school team was playing against
another high school team. Our team wore red and white shirts, white shorts, and red socks. The
other team wore orange and black shirts, orange shorts, and black socks. “They look like bees.”
My brother said, and we laughed.
They played like bees too. They ran very fast, attacked very hard, and passed the ball to each
other very fast. Soon they scored their first goal. My brother and I shouted and shouted, “Come
on, Valley School! Come on, the Valleys!” Our headmaster was near us and he was shouting too.
He seemed very enthusiastic. However, the high school scored another goal. We were very sad.
Then, one of the “bees” stopped the ball with one of his hands, so our team got a free kick. Our
captain took it and scored a goal. We shouted, “hooray!” The score was now 2:1. That was
better.
Now our team began to play better or the “bees” were getting tired. Our team scored another
goal before half-time. In the second half of the match, both teams tried very hard, but neither
scored, so at the end the score was still two all.

Muara Kaman lies along the Mahakam river, in eastern Borneo. In the past, the area was a
kingdom ruled by Queen Aji Bidara Putih. She was a typical queen of myths: beautiful, wise, and
sensitive. Many princess and kings proposed to her but she always refused them because she
was more concerned about ruling her country and guarding her people.
One day, a Chinese boat came to eastern Borneo. First, the people thought it was a merchant
ship but the boat was loaded with trade goods and highly-trained soldiers. Their envoys brought
gold and porcelain to announce the marriage proposal from a prince of China. The queen didn’t
refuse instantly and replied that she had to ponder the proposal first. After the envoys left the
place, the queen called a court officer and ordered him to infiltrate into the Chinese boat to
gather information on the prince.
When the night fell, the officer sneaked onto the boat, passed all the guards and finally found the
prince’s room. The large door would not open and he couldn’t find a peek hole, so the officer put
his ear to the wall, trying to hear sounds from inside. He heard that the prince was having his
dinner and the noise of his chewing and slurping surprised the officer. It was like a boar that he
had once heard when he was hunting.
He quickly left the boat and returned to the palace. He reported that the prince must have been
a phantom, not a human. He believed that the phantom could be in a human’s form only during
the daytime. The queen was so surprised and got angry. On the next day, she refused his
proposal.
The enraged prince ordered his troops to raid Muara Kaman. The battle was won by the prince’s
huge band of troops. As they drew near to the place, Queen Aji Bidara Putih chewed a leaf of
betel vine and sang mantra while holding it. When she threw it at the Chinese troops, it turned to
giant centipedes. The Chinese troops started to retreat but there centipedes chased them and
sank the boat. The site of the sunken ship is now known as Danau Lipan (Lake of centipedes),
with Chinese treasure hidden on the lake’s bed.
