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.

Pizza up and put it on my plate,’yang dapat disimpulkan bahwa setelah timer microwave
berhenti, ia mengambil pizza dan meletakkan di atas piringnya. Maka jawaban yang
sesuai adalah 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!

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.

"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.
