Hi Yanti,

Hi, I'm Andre from Medan. I'm a student at a vocational school. I'm 16 years old and I have
dark hair and brown eyes. have two brothers, their names are Bobby and Toni. I also have a
sister, her name is Renata. Bobby is 25 years old and he's an engineer. He has mustache and
short hair. Toni is 23 years old. He has gray eyes and he is a university student. Renata is 17
years old and she studies at a vocational school, majoring in Banking. She has a flat nose and
curly hair. She is a very beautiful and friendly girl. I love my brothers and sister to the moon
and back.

After school, I work at a cafe as a waiter. I usually get home at 9 p.m. or 9.30 p.m. every
night. But on Sundays, I'm free. My favorite hobby is taking photographs. I like taking
photographs of people and football matches as photo object.

That's all for now. Please let me know if you come to Medan. I'll show you the beauty of
Medan and the foods of course!

Read the following text

Stonehenge

People visit Salisbury Plain in Southern England to see Stonehenge, one of the great
mysteries of the world. Thirty large stones stand in a circle. Some are 50,000 kilos. Nature
didn’t put the stones there. People started to build this ancient circle 4,500 years ago. There
are different groups of people who worked 1,800 years to build this ancient circle.

Some people think the stones came from a place almost 400 kilometers away. No one
is sure how those heavy stones came to Salisbury Plain. No one knows the purpose of
Stonehenge either. Some say it is a religious place. Others say it is a type of calendar. As the
sun passes, the stones make shadows. The shadows are long in the summer and short in the
winter. On the longest day of the year, the stones make one long shadow. Perhaps the builder
used Stonehenge to follow the seasons. Will we ever have answer to the ancient mysteries of
Stonehenge?
