E-mails and Letters

There are similarities between e-mails and letters. In composing


either, we use:
• Salutation, such as: Hello Berliana, Dear Madam, Dear
Sir, Dear Aunt Siwi;
• The body of an e-mail/a letter;
• Signature/closing, such as: Kind regards, Best regards,
Love, Lots of love, Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully.

Possessive Pronouns
Read the following sentences and see the words in bold.
1.I’d like to start my online fashion business, but mine targets
on men.
2.Surely, it’s different from yours.
3.We usually sell ours during car free days and on special
occasions, such as a night fair.

The words in bold are possessive pronouns. A possessive


pronoun shows ownership. Unlike possessive adjectives (my,
your, his, her, our, their, its) which are followed by nouns,
possessive pronouns stand on their own, without any nouns.
See the difference below.
Possessive Adjective Possessive Pronoun
(my, your, his, her, our, their, its) (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs)

Look at the picture of Padar Island on a previous slide. It’s very beautiful, isn’t it?
You know, it was once home to Komodo dragons.
Padar Island lies about 20 miles (30 km) from Labuan Bajo, a fishing town on the
westernmost part of Flores, East Nusa Tenggara. Padar Island is small, but is the third
largest island of Komodo National Park.
Padar is mostly savannah-covered, surreal landscape fringed by bright green-
capped mountains of fairy-tale shapes. It’s all surrounded by three turquoise bays, and
curiously, each one of the bays’ beaches has different colored sand: one is pearly white,
another charcoal black and a third is a very rare baby pink. It is a rare combination,
a quirk of this unique island.
The black-sanded beach has volcanic origin, composed of various dark minerals. The
pink, one of a few in the world, has pulverized red coral mixed with white sand.
The white one, in most any other setting would be a spectacular find. Here, it almost
plays third fiddle.
Padar is home to a remarkable array of wildlife, especially for its size. There are six
species of sharks, two of manta rays and many different reptiles. There once were three
kinds of Komodo dragons here. They are gone now, but still found on Komodo, Rinca,
Gili Montang, Gili Dasami and Flores. There are dolphins, the occasional whales, falcons,
kites, geckos and green turtles. There are also some plain old little mammals, to feed
their neighbor predators.
The most popular spot to enjoy the panoramic view of the island is Padar’s summit.
It takes around 30 minutes to hike to reach the summit. Besides, visitors can also go
trekking for around an hour, snorkel or just hit the pristine three-colored beaches.

Try to identify the main idea of each paragraph in the text of
Padar Island.
Read the text and complete the table that follows.
I have a question for you. Do you know where we can find popular murals? The
answer is Georgetown, the capital of Penang, a small island on the northwest of
Malaysia mainland. It’s quite close from Sumatra, especially North Sumatra.
Georgetown has everything you would expect from an old colonial city—a fort,
grand buildings, stately homes and assembly buildings and old waterways marking
a once vibrant port trading ground. However, there’s one thing that makes it stand out
from any other cities and that’s its magnificent collection of street art, like two above
murals.
The street art in Penang is the major draw. One of the main things you should do
is spend at least one day exploring over 30 artworks around the city. You don’t need to
worry how to find them. Hotels and hostels provide maps marking the exact spots of
the artworks, which you can use to start your artistic treasure hunt. Well, let me tell
you. Finding a new mural or wirework is just as exciting as the last and each one is
an expression of the city’s culture. Besides, it is also a great way of enjoying other
Georgetown’s attractions, like the authentic old buildings and delicious food.
Among the murals, the popular ones were painted by Lithuanian artist Ernest
Zacharevic who set to work to bring color to the city as part of a project called ‘Mirrors
George Town’. The two above murals are his creation. Interesting, aren’t they?
So, if you have an opportunity to travel to Malaysia, don’t miss a chance to visit
Georgetown, Penang Island. It’s memorable.

Petra
Petra, the world wonder, is without a doubt Jordan’s most valuable
treasure and greatest tourist attraction. It is a vast, unique city,
carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, industrious Arab
people who settled here more than 2000 years ago, turning it into an
important junction for the silk, spice and other trade routes that
linked China, India and southern Arabia with Egypt, Syria, Greece and
Rome.
Entrance to the city is through the Siq, a narrow gorge, over 1 km long,
which is flanked on either side by soaring 80m high cliffs. Just walking
through the Siq is an experience in itself. The colors and formations of
the rocks are dazzling. As you reach the end of the Siq, you will catch
your first glimpse of Al-Khazneh (Treasury).
This is an awe-inspiring experience. A massive façade, 30m wide and
43m high, carved out of the sheer, dusky pink rock-face and dwarfing
everything around it. It was carved in the early 1st century as the
tomb of an important Nabataean king and represents the engineering
genius of these ancient people.
The Treasury is merely the first of the many wonders that make up
Petra. You will need at least four or five days to really explore
everything here. As you enter the Petra valley, you will be
overwhelmed by the natural beauty of this place and its outstanding
architectural achievements. There are hundreds of elaborate rock-cut
tombs with intricate carvings—unlike the houses, which were
destroyed mostly by earthquakes, the tombs were carved to last
throughout the afterlife and 500 have survived, empty but bewitching
as you file past their dark openings. Here also is a massive Nabataean-
built, Roman-style theater, which could seat 3,000 people. There are
obelisks, temples, sacrificial altars and colonnaded streets, and high
above, overlooking the valley, is the impressive Ad-Deir Monastery—
a flight of 800 rock cut steps takes you there.
Within the site are also two excellent museums; the Petra
Archaeological Museum and Petra Nabataean Museum, both of which
represent finds from excavations in the Petra region and an insight
into Petra’s colorful past.

Attention, please.
Frankly speaking, it’s not easy to speak before public. Many students
have no courage to speak before other people. Meanwhile,
public speaking is very needed nowadays. Through excellent
public speaking, we can give information and even influence
others.
To improve the students’ ability at speaking, the OSIS committee will
hold public speaking training. It is free for students, but we
limit the number of participants for sixty students only. That’s
why, enroll yourselves with the OSIS chairperson as soon as
possible. Thank you.
