#1
Last week, my friends and I went to Jogja. We visited many places.

First, we visited Parangtritis beach. The sun shone brightly and the scenery was
very beautiful there. We felt the wind blew across to us. We also saw a lot of
people in that beach. There were many birds flew in the sky. Also, there were
many sellers who sold many kinds of souvenirs. Second, we visited Gembira
Loka Zoo. We saw many kinds of animals there such as monkeys, tigers,
crocodiles, snakes, etc. We looked around in that Zoo, and also took pictures
of those animals. Then, we felt hungry, so we went to a restaurant. As soon as
we finished our lunch, we decided to go home.

For me, that was a beautiful day though I could not visit Malioboro. we really
enjoyed it, and I hope I could visit Jogja again.

A Visit to Lembongan Island

My friends and I went to one of the well-known islands in Bali, the

Lembongan
Island. First, we visited the Mangrove Forest which plays an important
environmental role sheltering the coast and preventing erosion. Then we
went to
Gala-Gala Underground House. It was the most outstanding human-made
building
ever. After that, we watched the spectacular Lembongan sunset. With its
beautiful white sand and gorgeous unspoiled views, Sandy Bay Beach was
our
favorite. Therefore, we really loved the whole adventure and we're looking
forward to visiting other interesting places in Lembongan Island. What an
