Dear Tantri,
Nowadays, it’s difficult to find a true friend like you. I sometimes think I am
very lucky to get you as my friend. Without you, my life would have been very
boring. I still remember the first day of school when we were young. You called
 me and gave me a seat. That moment is not easy to forget. It is the beginning of
our long friendship. You even often shared some of your food when my mother
forgot to give me pocket money. You also lent me a dictionary when I forgot to

leave me but I know that moving to Surabaya is very important for your future.
I only hope that you will get everything that you dream of in your new city. One
thing that I want to tell you, please don’t forget me. Keep in touch. Send me an

The following text is for questions 23 to 26.

When I was seven years old, I was given a small wallet to keep my pocket
money in. I felt so happy and put it in my hip pocket.
One day, during the break time at school, I discovered that my wallet was
missing. I checked it but I could not find it. There was some money in the wallet and
without it I could not buy anything to eat. I was close to tears. It was not because of
losing my precious wallet but because I might get scolded by my parents. Anyhow I
went hungry that day.
In the class I could not concentrate well to study at all. I kept thinking about
how I lost my wallet and what my parents would react. How was I going to explain
the loss? I did not know whether someone had taken it from my pocket or it had
merely fallen out. I hoped that someone would find and return it to me.
When I told my mother about my loss, she was angry. She told me that it would
not have happend if I had been careful. When my father came home, I got another
anger. Then he told me that there would not be any more wallets for me until I got
older.
Luckily, I still got pocket money from my parents. I am glad to say that I never
lost anything again. I had learned to be more careful. It is not pleasant to lose
something and then get scolded for losing it. (Adapted from
