I won‘t forget my first experience facing the police. It was such an

embarassing yet funny day. When I walked home after school, my
friend offered me a ride. At first, I refused her offer because she didn‘t
have any helmet for me to wear. But she insisted and told me that
there would be no police. Besides, she asked me to accompany her to
buy a second-hand book. Finally, I agreed to accompany her and go
home together.
On the way to the bookstore, she rode carefully and chose the
alternative way. We thought that the way was safe from the police. But
unfortunately, when we just turned left at the intersection, we saw a
police standing near the tree. The police stopped us and asked for the
riding license and all the equipments in riding motorcycle. Then the
police asked to me, ―Where is your helmet?‖ I was afraid to answer,
and I just said with shaking voice, ―Sorry, sir. It‘s just my mistake.‖
Surprisingly, my friend was also realizing her fault, ―No, sir. I have
asked her to accompany me. Let me get the traffic ticket.‖
Guess what happened next! The police which has strict face
showed us his wide smile. He said, ―You are all funny. I won‘t give you
the punishment letter, but please do something.‖ My friend starred at
me. We thought we had to give the police some money, but we only
had a few . Then, the police said, ―Don‘t you think I ask some money
from you. Okay, I‘ll make it clear. You are the students, right. Then tell
me what lesson you learned today at school.‖ Feeling surprised and
worried at the same time, I tried to recall my mind about the lesson at
school. ―Oh, I just learned how to write a diary in English. May be I‘m
gonna write about today‘s incident – I don‘t wear the helmet.‖ The
police couldn‘t stand not to laugh. ―Okay, I release you. But remember
to wear the helmet when you ride the motorcycle, even there is a police
or not. Please stay safe!‖ We felt relived and thanked him. Later, he
told us that my friend and I reminded him to his daughter who stayed
in other city to study.
After that moment, I promise to always wear the helmet when
going by motorcycle and refuse for a ride if there is no helmet. I won‘t
let that funny moment happened twice!

A Glass of Milk

Once, there was a poor boy who made a

living by selling various objects from door to
door. This was the way he earned money to pay
for his school.
One day, as he was walking from house to
house as usual, he felt very hungry and weak.
He felt that he couldn‘t walk even a few steps. He decided to ask for
food at a house. He knocked on the door and was stunned to see a
beautiful young girl open the door. With much hesitation, he asked
the girl for a glass of water.
The young girl understood his condition and offered him a huge
glass of milk. With an astonished look, the boy drank the milk very
slowly.
―How much do I owe you for this milk?‖ he asked her.
The girl replied, ―I do not want any money for this.‖
The boy thanked the girl from the bottom of his heart and left the
place.
Years passed by. The young girl grew up. In her youth,
unfortunately, she fell ill and was diagnosed with the rarest kind of
nervous disorder. Many experienced doctors were baffled at her
condition, and she was admitted in the city hospital with the most
advanced facilities.
Dr. Kevin, a renowned neuro specialist was called in by the
hospital to examine her. Even with his extraordinary expertise, Dr.
Kevin found the girl‘s illness very hard to cure. However, with
perseverance and hard work that lasted months, he was finally able to
get the disease under control. With careful medication and

A Glass of Milk

Once, there was a poor boy who made a

living by selling various objects from door to
door. This was the way he earned money to pay
for his school.
One day, as he was walking from house to
house as usual, he felt very hungry and weak.
He felt that he couldn‘t walk even a few steps. He decided to ask for
food at a house. He knocked on the door and was stunned to see a
beautiful young girl open the door. With much hesitation, he asked
the girl for a glass of water.
The young girl understood his condition and offered him a huge
glass of milk. With an astonished look, the boy drank the milk very
slowly.
―How much do I owe you for this milk?‖ he asked her.
The girl replied, ―I do not want any money for this.‖
The boy thanked the girl from the bottom of his heart and left the
place.
Years passed by. The young girl grew up. In her youth,
unfortunately, she fell ill and was diagnosed with the rarest kind of
nervous disorder. Many experienced doctors were baffled at her
condition, and she was admitted in the city hospital with the most
advanced facilities.
Dr. Kevin, a renowned neuro specialist was called in by the
hospital to examine her. Even with his extraordinary expertise, Dr.
Kevin found the girl‘s illness very hard to cure. However, with
perseverance and hard work that lasted months, he was finally able to
get the disease under control. With careful medication and

The Monkey Judgement Story

One day, a dog and a fox were quarreling over a piece of meat.
The dog said, ―Let me eat it!‖
The fox replied, ―No, it belongs to me.‖
They agreed to ask their friend, Mr. Monkey, to decide the
matter for them. The monkey listened to what they had to say.
―To be fair to both of you,‖ he said, ―I shall divide the meat into
two equal pieces and give you one each.‖
He took a pair of scales and a kitchen knife. He cut the meat
into two pieces and weighed each of them on the scales. One was
heavier than the other.
He bit off a piece from the heavier portion, and weighed the two
pieces again. This time, the other portion was heavier. He then bit off
a piece from this portion, and weighed the two pieces. Once again,
one piece was heavier than the other. He went on like this, weighing
and biting off, until all the meat was finished.
―If we‘d only known this,‖ the dog said to the fox, ―We would
never have asked the monkey to be the judge.
Really, the old Korean saying is quite true—―It‘s better to settle
a case out of court than to court and lose everything.‖

Wombats are small marsupials that look like a cross between a

bear, a pig and a gopher. They are built for digging, with short legs,
compact heads, short broad feet and strong claws. Like kangaroos,
koalas and other marsupials, they have a pouch.

All wombat species live in Australia and Tasmania in mountains,

forests and grasslands. Their homes are burrows, which consist of
many tunnels and sleeping chambers. Some tunnels in a burrow can
reach up to 200 meters in length. Some wombats have several
separate burrows that they live in throughout the year.

Wombats are herbivores, which means they only eat vegetation.

Some common meals for a wombat include roots, grasses, scrub,
herbs and bark. They get most of their water from the foods they eat
and can live years without drinking water.

All wombats are nocturnal and spend their nights foraging for
food or digging. During cold days, some wombats do come out of
their burrows to sunbathe and warm up. They do not climb trees like
koalas, their nearest relative, but they are good swimmers.

On September 28, 2018, Palu and Donggala was struck by an

earthquake that killed 1.467 people. But the most terrible thing
happening in Kelurahan Petobo was that many people died and all
buildings damaged because of liquefaction.

Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the strength and stiffness

of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading.
Liquefaction and related phenomena have been responsible for
tremendous amounts of damage in historical earthquakes around the
world.

Liquefaction occurs in saturated soils, that is, soils in which the

space between individual particles is completely filled with water. This
water exerts a pressure on the soil particles that influences how
tightly the particles themselves are pressed together. Prior to an
earthquake, the water pressure is relatively low. However, earthquake
shaking can cause the water pressure to increase to the point where
the soil particles can readily move with respect to each other.

48. After reading the text the readers will … .

A. get more understanding about liquefaction
B. arise empathy to the victims off liquefaction
C. become more aware of living in Kelurahan Petobo
D. understand the risks of living in Palu and Donggala
