palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the
dresses they would wear. Cinderella could not stop crying after they left.

her why she was crying. Well the fairy said, “you’ve been such a cheerful,
hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I will see that you go to the ball.” The
fairy turned a pumpkin into a coach and mice into a smooth two coach man and
footman then tapped Cinderella’s dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful
ball gown.

feet fitted the glass shoe. Cinderella’s stepsisters tried on it but it was too small
for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the
king’s page let Cinderella try the shoe. She stretched his legs and slipped the
shoe on the page. It fitted perfectly. Finally, she was ushered into a magnificent
palace and height. The prince were glad to see her again. They married and
lived happily ever after.

eggs which looked like jewels. Then Batara Narada advised him to offer those 
shining eggs to Batara Guru.

palace. On the way,  an eagle asked him a question. Surely Naga god could not
answer the question because he was holding the eggs in his mouth. Seeing that,
the bird thought that Naga god was arrogant and the bird attacked him.
Being attacked, one egg fell to earth. Then Naga god was hiding in the bushes
but the bird was waiting for him. The bird attacked for the second time and one

her, and brought it to the kingdom. Meanwhile his brothers just got some coarse
handkerchiefs from a shepherds’ wives whom they had met. When the king saw
Simpleton’s carpet he was very astonished and said; ” Well, the kingdom
belongs to the Simpleton”. But his two brothers argued that it was impossible
that simpleton should be king, They asked the king to make a new agreement.
Then the father said; “Who brings me the most beautiful ring will inherit the
kingdom”. He blew three feathers, which they were to follow. Those of the two
eldest again went east and west, and simpleton’s feather flew straight up, and
fell down near the trap-door. Again the fat toad gave him a ring sparkled with
jewels. Meanwhile his two brothers just got old carriage-rings. However they

Simpleton said; “What am I to do with it?”. The toad answered; “Just put one of
my little toads into it!”. Then Simpleton seized one little toad and put her into
the yellow coach. Surprisingly the little toad turned into a beautiful maiden. So
Simpleton took her to the king. On the other hand, his brother brought peasant
women to the kingdom.

belongs to my youngest son”. But the two eldest brothers kept arguing that
whose wife could leap through a ring which hung in the center of the hall would
be the king. The king agreed. Then the two peasant women jumped through the

Vacation to Indrayanti Beach


Last weekend, after visiting my parent at Wonosari Gunungkidul, I and
my family went to Indrayanti Beach to spend our holiday by our own car.

The way to get Indrayanti Beach is very zigzag and it’s very quiet in the
middle of night. We almost got lost since we never go there before, but
eventually we got there safely. We hardly got a room to stay overnight because
it was long weekend so that we could not find a room easily.

We got up so early in the morning that we could enjoy sunrise landscape


at the beach. My son was playing white sand with his sister while I took their
picture.

A day at Indrayanti beach felt so short, we were quite tired for playing a
whole day, but we were very happy.

giant puppets. They are the animals that come from Western China and Tibet.
Most of the species came from the jungle of bamboo because basically, their
food is bamboo. They have two legs and two large hands. In addition to
walking, the hands are also used to take the twigs and leaves of bamboo. Panda

Adult pandas have a length between 160 to 180 cm. Then, the weight of
an adult panda is usually between 80 to 125 kg. Panda body size is similar to the
black bear. However, pandas do not hibernate like a black bear. Panda has a
large head, heavy body, rounded ears, and short tail. They walked like a human,
and as I said before, that they use their legs to stand and their hands used to
reach for the leaves and twigs of bamboo. They have a throat with a hard
esophagus in order to avoid their throat injury due to the consumption of
bamboo. They also have a large thumb to take the bamboo stems and leaves.
They look like a very cute animal with black and white color. This is the
thing that makes the panda to be the example of the best-selling dolls after bear.
They have thick hair and a little greasy. The oil layer helps them protected from
the wet climate. Panda runs slowly because their body is so heavy.
Nevertheless, the panda is able to climb trees with hard and sharp claws. They

must be careful when close to them.

How Earthquakes Happen


Earthquake is one of the most destroying natural disasters. Unluckily it
often happens in several regions. Recently a horrible earthquake has shaken
West Sumatra. It has brought great damages. Why did it occur? Do you know
how an earthquake happens?

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks


along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves. It make
the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against
each other, they stick a little. They don’t just slide smoothly. The rocks are still
pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break
because of all the pressure that’s built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake
occurs.

During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start
moving, and they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot
underground where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake. The
place right above the focus is called the epicenter of the earthquake.

Learning English through music and songs is Fun 

Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You
can mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as
a means to your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to
support the idea why we use songs in language learning. 

Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our


minds of the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc)
can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems
to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory. 

Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with


a lot of repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The
fact that they are effective makes them many times more motivating than other
text. Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically,
lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other
literary sample. 

Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose.


Most pop songs and probably many other types don’t have precise people, place
or time reference. 

In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and
encourage harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are
important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even
revolution. 

Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs
such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension,
translating songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and culture. 
From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music
and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

THE DANGEROUS OF SMOKING


Until now there are still many people that keep smoking. But we think if
everyone knows that smoking is dangerous for health. Why smoking is
dangerous?

Before we are going to smoke, it’s better to look at the fact. A 2004 study
by the CDC's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion found that cigarette smoke contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of
which are known to cause cancer. Nearly a quarter of smokers die because of
diseases caused by smoking. Adult male smokers lose an average of 13.2 years
of life and female smokers lose 14.5 years of life because of smoking, and given
the diseases that smoking can cause, it can steal your quality of life long before
you die.

Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. Secondhand


smoke also causes about 35,000 deaths from heart disease in people who are not
smokers. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times more likely to die
of lung cancer than a non-smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk
is nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are
people who are smoking. Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of
heart disease than non-smokers.

Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis


and pneumonia. In one hour in smoky room, non-smoker breathes as much as
substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen cigarettes.

Smoking is not good for smokers and people around smokers. However
smoking is very good for Cigarette Companies.  Because they have much
money from smoking habit. However smoking is not good for everybody else.
