pesan semangkok bubur komplit , pesananan nya sama denganku. Waktu itu saya berpikir
temanku ini pandai mengunakan kesempatan. Setelah kami selesai makan, saya ke kasir

1. Selama liburan yang lalu, saya membuat banyak kerajinan tangan. Saat itu, saya tergila-gila
dengan seni dan kreativitas. Banyak ide muncul di benak saya tiga bulan sebelumnya. Semua ide
itu ditulis dalam buku catatan sehingga saya bisa membacanya lagi. Selain itu, saya mencari ide
lain dari internet. Yap, saya menggunakan google. Saya menonton video tutorial dan membaca
banyak blog tentang seni. Ayah-ibu membantu saya menyiapkan materi. Mereka juga memberi
saya uang untuk membeli barang-barang yang saya butuhkan. Pada hari pertama, saya melukis
pada beberapa batu. Orang menyebutnya seni batu. Kegiatan itu sangat menyenangkan. Saudara-
saudara saya bergabung pada hari ketiga. Kemudian, kami membuat kerajinan kertas dari koran
bekas dan majalah. Kertas-kertas itu digulung, dibentuk dan direkatkan untuk membuat desain
yang cantik. Banyak kerajinan indah diciptakan. Kegiatan terakhir adalah menjahit. Ibu saya
adalah penjahit jadi saya belajar menjahit darinya. Ibu juga membantu saya. Menjahit pakaian
bekas dan handuk sangat menyenangkan. Kami menghasilkan banyak barang bermanfaat.
Akhirnya, saya sangat menikmati liburan lalu.

2. Suatu hari paman saya bercerita tentang masa kecilnya. Saat usianya sepuluh tahun, ia suka
memanjat pohon mangga. Dia biasanya memanjat pohon itu dengan beberapa teman. Kemudian
mereka mengambil beberapa mangga tanpa izin. Yap, mereka mencuri mangga. Mereka sering
makan mangga di pohonnya. Mereka telah menyiapkan alat pengupas dan kantong plastik untuk
sampah. Persiapan yang bagus! Mereka tidak mau membuang sampah di mana-mana. Mereka
menjaga kebersihan lingkungan. Itu bagus. Tapi mencuri buah adalah hal buruk.Paman saya
bilang itu sangat menyenangkan. Terkadang mereka tertangkap oleh pemiliknya. Mereka pernah
bertemu pemilik baik dan tidak baik. Pemilik baik tidak pernah marah kepada mereka. Dia
membiarkan mereka memetik beberapa mangga. “Jangan makan terlalu banyak mangga atau
kamu akan sakit perut” seorang pemilik yang baik memberi nasehat suatu hari. Sementara itu
seorang pemilik yang tidak baik menghukum mereka untuk membersihkan kolam dan halaman
belakang. Ada satu pemilik benar-benar marah kepada mereka. Lalu dia mendatangi orang tua
dan meminta banyak uang untuk mangga yang mereka makan. Orang tua mereka tidak mampu
membayarnya. Si pemilik memberi mereka waktu beberapa minggu untuk membayar atau dia
akan menelepon polisi. Lalu dia dan teman-temannya berusaha mencari uang untuk membantu
orang tua mereka. Setelah sekolah ia bekerja di tempat cuci mobil. Paman saya belajar bahwa
menghasilkan uang tidaklah mudah. Tapi bukan berarti tidak mungkin. Setelah tiga minggu, dia
bisa memberikan uang itu pada pemilik pohon mangga. Ajaibnya, si pemilik berubah menjadi
pria baik dan meminta paman saya untuk menyimpan uang tersebut. Kemudian, dia memberikan
uang itu kepada orang tuanya. Akhirnya dia tidak pernah mencuri mangga lagi tapi tetap suka
memanjat pohon mangga.

3. Saya mendengar suara seseorang sedang berjalan tadi malam, mereka diamasuk ke sebuah
rumah mewah besar di sebelah rumahku. Rumah itu mewah tapi berbahaya. Karna dia dihuni
oleh seorang nenek psikopat.
Beberapa pencuri masuk melalui jendela. Dan mereka tidak tahu jika di situ dipasang jebakan.
Seorang pencuri berteriak, dia kesakitan karna kakinya terpijak sebuah perangkap . Kakinya
patah. Seorang pencuri lagi terpegang teralis yang dialiri listrik, tubuhnya bergetar sampai dia
mati.dan dua orang pencuri lagi masuk melalui pintu belakang. Ketika mereka masuk, tiba-tiba
lampu mati dan pintu tertutup dengan keras. Di hadapan mereka muncul seorang wanita tua
memegang martil besar dan menghantamkan ke kepala mereka satu persatu. Mereka mati.
Tinggal si pencuri yang kakinya ptah. Dia masih terjebak. Tiba tiba seorang nenek dengan wajah
garang menghampirinya dan memukul kepalanya dengan keras. Akhirnya semua pencuri mati di
rumah itu.

day, we went to two museums. First we went to an art museum. There weren't many pictures, but there
were many contemporary art productions. I didn't like them a lot. Second we went to a very unusual
museum of bric-à-brac. There was a lot of old bric-à-brac from different places of the World. It was
really interesting to see. After visiting the museums, we returned to our hotel room as we were really
tired. At last, we spent a whole day at the great beaches of Nice. We swam, sunbathed and had great
