In 2015, I went to Derawan Island with my friends and that marks my most memorable holiday ever!
In June, our school was having summer holiday, so we thought to ourselves that it shouldn't go to waste. We
quickly browsed the internet to find a good holiday destination and after an hour of heated debate, the four
of us agreed to give Derawan Island a try. It was purely out of curiousity as none of us had been there before.
We arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 05.30 a.m. as the flight was at 07.00
a.m. First, we flew to Balikpapan and waited for about an hour to continue the flight to Berau. As soon as we
touched down in Berau, my friend called the tour agent that we had contacted earlier in Jakarta. They had
got a car ready to take us to Labuan Batu. From Labuan Batu, we took a speedboat for about an hour to
Derawan Island. It was such a long trip to Derawan but it all paid off as soon as we saw how beautiful the
island was.
My friends and I were quickly ushered to our rooms in the resort. It was fantastic! The rooms were in a
cottage that was situated right above the sea. So we only had to step out the terrace to find ourselves out in
the open sea! After unpacking our luggages and washing up, we went to the dining hall to grab our dinner.
The dinner was only simple seafood dishes. The surrounding totally enhanced the dining experience, making
the food taste much better.
The following day, we took a speedboat tour, hopping from one island to another Our first trip stop
was Kakaban Island where we hiked to reach the lake and swam among stingless jellyfish. The last time I
heard, there were only three places in the world that have stingless jellyfish; two of them in Indonesia! Isn't
that great? The next stop was the Sangalaki Island where we got to visit sea turtle conservation and took lots
of pictures with sea turtle babies. They were so cute!

One day, there lived a monkey. He lived up on the trees. He never showed himself to others. He
was too shy to show himself. He thought that he was not attractive at all. He only searched for fruits and
took them back up to the tall trees. Nobody ever talked to him. He knew no one and no one knew him as
well
One morning, he heard a screaming sound. He was not paying full attention at first, but it did not
stop. He then climbed the tall tress. There he saw a young buffalo stuck under the fallen tree. “Please help
me” said the young buffalo. The monkey was afraid that the buffalo would laugh at him in the end. “please,
if you don’t lift the tree, I will die in any second. For the God’s sake, please lift it”. Slowly, the monkey lifted
the tree.
The young buffalo was finally freed. Then he said “thank you very much, let me take you to my
house to meet my parents”. “no” said the monkey “I am afraid the your parents will laugh at me”. Confused,
the buffalo asked “why? No, my parents will not laugh at you?” it was very hard for buffalo to convince him
that nothing would ever happen. Monkey kept refusing buffalo but he did noy surrender.
The monkey finally joined the young buffalo home. Buffalo’s house was not far from the monkey’s
tree. It was a big house with large yard at front. The monkey felt ashamed again but Buffalo pushed his spirit
He met the parents of the young buffalo. They all cried in happiness. They could not stop thanking the

1. Stay out of the sun during peak hours. While these times may vary slightly depending on the
season and where you live. You should be indoors if all possible between 10:00 and 15:00.
2. Keep covered up. Floppy hats and large umbrellas work well and so do cover-ups. Long- sleeved
cotton shirts are excellent for hiking, cycling etc; see your sports store for special brands that
allow breathing as well as cover-up.
3. Use sunscreen on any exposed areas. An SPF of 45+ is recommended for it allows even the fairest
skinned folks to stay out in the sun for a few hours before reapplying. Try chopstick on your lips.
Follow the instructions on sunscreen carefully. Always reapply after leaving the water, as it’ll have
washed off.
4. Don’t forget hard-to-reach places. Don’t forget to cover the backs of your knees, back of your neck,
elbows and back of your ears (if you have short hair). Feet should also be included if you are wearing
sandals, flip-flops or going bare-foot. Even these places can hurt a lot with sunburn.
5. Don’t lie in the sun purposefully seeking a tan. This is not only damaging to your skin but might
burn you the first few times you try it at the beginning of the season. If you want to tan, do it
gradually and sensibly, with short exposure and building up over time.
Put a small amount of oil or sunscreen in your hair so you will avoid burning your scalp. Or cover
it with a hat. Some shampoos and hair conditioners contain SPF protection.
Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. It is
good for the environment, since we are making new products from the old products which are of no use to
us. There are many reasons why it’s important to recycle as much as possible.
Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to consume precious resources. So
recycling helps protect raw materials and protect natural habitats for the future.Using recycling materials in
the manufacturing process uses considerably less energy than that required for producing new products from
raw materials.
Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing
raw materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy, it also reduces
greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change. There are over 1,500 landfill sites in the UK
]
and, in 2001, these sites produced a quarter of the UK’s emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas
that is released as the biodegradable waste (such as food and paper) decomposes. Existing landfill sites are
filling up fast and there is very limited space for new ones.
