 DESCRIBING THINGS

My Camera
My favorite thing is my camera. It is a brand new digital camera. I really love my camera. My father
gave this camera on my 16th birthday.
My digital camera is black. It is a newest product of a famous camera company. It is one of the larger
types of camera which is named DSLRs (Digital Single Lens Reflex) because we can see the image
directly through the lens that will be used to take the image. When the shutter is pressed, a mirror
flips up to expose the sensor to light. It also has the largest sensors, which in general will allow me to
get the best quality pictures, especially in low-light conditions.
I love my digital camera. I usually bring it in every special moment in my life, such as birthday,
wedding, and many other occasions. I hope that this camera will always accompany me and there
will be many more special events captured by this camera.

Kameraku
Benda favorit saya adalah kamera saya. Ia adalah kamera digital merek baru. Saya sangat menyukai 
kamera saya. Ayah saya memberi kamera ini pada ulang tahun saya ke 16.

is also one of the world's most crowded cities. Lovely gardens and parks are found
throughout Paris. At night, many palaces and statues are lit up. For this reason, Paris is
often called the City of Light. (Identification)
Every year, millions of people visit Paris. The most popular place to visit is the Eiffel
Tower. This huge structure has become the symbol of Paris. The Louvre, one of the world's
largest art museums, draws many visitors. The Cathedral of Notre Dame, a famous church,
