Pink Beach
Pink Beach or Pantai Merah Muda is one of the beaches in
Komodo Island, East Nusa Tenggara. The beach is called
Pink Beach because the sand beach is pink. The pink color
of its beach is a mixture of white sand beach colors mixed
with crushed coral, shells, calcium carbonate from marine
invertebrates that are very small, and also Foraminifera,
microscopic amoeba that has a red body shell.
At Pink Beach, there are so many marine organisms. No
fewer than 1,000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and 70
species of sponge can be found here. Having so much
marine life, this place is a proper spot for snorkeling and

Lazy Day
Last weekend I spent all day laying on my bed. It was just
like the Lazy Song by Bruno Mars, “Today I don’t feel like
doing anything”. But sometimes doing nothing was just
something that we needed the most, especially after a long
and exhausted week in the office.
It was Sunday and I woke up at 9 a.m in the morning. I
looked around me and I saw a new comic book that I just
bought yesterday laying next to my laptop. I tried to drag it
closer to me by using my foot, and then I picked it with my
hand. I unwrapped the comic and started reading it. When
I just reached the middle of the story, I felt thirsty so I got
up of my super comfortable bed and walked out the room.
I walked down the stairs right to the kitchen.
I opened the fridge and I found a bottle full of chill orange
juice. I opened the bottle and poured the orange juice into
a glass. When I checked my fridge, I saw that I still had a
leftover Pizza from yesterday, so I decided to reheat it in my
microwave. So I sat in the kitchen for a while waiting the
Pizza to be ready. When the timer of the microwave was
off, I picked the Pizza up and put it on my plate. I took my
orange juice and my Pizza and brought them back into my
lair. I enjoyed the Pizza and the orange juice and
continued to read my comic book. After that I decided to
watch my favorite K-drama on my laptop, so I set my
portable laptop desk on my bed. This way, I could watch
my favourite show without having to leave my super cozy
bed.
Which of the following statement is correct based on the
text?
A. The writer watched the movie in the living room.
B. The writer woke up at 9 p.m in the evening.
C. The writer poured the mango juice into a glass.
D. The writer picked the pizza up from the microwave.

I really enjoyed my holiday in Australia. Last Sunday I
visited a marine park called Sea World which was at surfers’
Paradise near Brisbane. It’s Australia’s largest marine park
and I had a wonderful day there.
The first thing I saw was the Oceanorium where you could
watch all sorts of sea fish and animal under water. There
were huge turtles, sharks, and a beautiful tropical sea fish.
 The most exciting thing was watching a man feeding the
sharks. He wore a special diving suit. Then I watched the
performance of sea animals. The saw was in a big outdoor
swimming pool. There were killer whales, dolphins and sea
lions, and they did all sort of fantastic things in the water.
One of the girls in the show rode around the pool on the
back of killing whale, and another girl rode underwater on
the back of a big turtle. After the saw I had lunch. There
were several big restaurants in the park and I had lunch in a
restaurant that was shape like a ship! Then I watched a
wonderful water skiing show which was held on a lake.
There were lots of other things to do at the park. There was
lake cruising, a train ride, a big water slide, swimming
pools, and an incredible roller coaster called the
‘corkscrew’- because it went three loops upside down. But I
wish I had gone on the roller coaster ride before lunch
rather than after it!(Source:

Once upon a time there was a farmer who owned a little
dog that he keeps constantly by his side and a donkey,
which lived in a warm stable and got plenty of fresh grain
and sweet hay. But, unfortunately the donkey was not
satisfied with his condition.
"I slave all day long, hauling wood or pulling the cart to
market while the dog sleeps on the master's lap and eats
from his plate!," the donkey grumbled. "Perhaps, he
thought, if he behaved like the dog, his master would
reward him with the same life of ease.
That very night, the donkey crept out of the stable and into
the house where the farmer sat at supper. "First I'll frisk
about and chase my tail, just as the dog does," thought the
donkey. And he danced about the room, flinging up his
hooves until the table toppled over and dishes went flying.
"Now I'll sit on his lap!" said the donkey, and he put his
hooves up on the master's chair.
"Help! Save me from this mad beast!" the terrified farmer
bellowed. Then his servants came running and, with shouts
and blows, drove the donkey back to the stable.

I'll never be a lapdog!"
