We are going to discuss a
“Personal Letter”
about Someone’s trip to Genting
3
Read this letter and answer the questions!
(Ujicoba Ujian akhir Bahasa Inggris DKI 2004)
Dear Angelica,
Thanks you for your letter.
It was indeed exciting to read
about your recent trip to Perth.
You did have a wonderful time,
didn’t you?
4
Well, I may not be as lucky
as you but my trip to Genting was
equally thrilling. I had heard a lot
about this popular gateway from a
friend of mine and everything was
just as exciting as she had
described.
5
We stayed overnight at my
uncle’s house in Kuala Lumpur and
left quite early so as to avoid the
hot, midday sun. As soon as we
arrived, I was the first to get out
of the car. It was very cold but the
air was fresh and clean. I took an
instant liking to this place.
6
My brother and I spent most of
our time entertaining ourselves at
the recreation center while my
parents had a good time at the
casino which is strictly for adults.
7
I felt sad to leave this wonderful
place after a brief stay but I’ll be
there again. Perhaps you can be with
me the next time.
Write soon, won’t you?
Your friend,
Sally
