Karang Jahe
There is a beautiful beach in Rembang Regency. It has been so popular.
People named it Karang Jahe Beach. This white-sand beach is surrounded by
spruces. It is located in Punjulharjo Village. It is always crowded. Many visitors
come to this beach, especially on holidays. The entrance ticket is so cheap.
Around the beach, there are stalls of young coconut ice, coffee, etc. Visitors
can enjoy the view while sitting on a mat with snacks in hand. What a nice picnic!
In the past, Karang Jahe Beach was not as crowded as now. This beach area
was affected by abrasion. To overcome this disaster, the local people reforested
this area by planting mangroves. However, it did not work. Therefore, the people
tried to reforest Karang Jahe Beach from year to year until they found the right
plant, spruce. The spruces grew so well up to now.
Visiting this beach many times will never bore you. One of the reasons is the
spruces. They are shady and line up neatly. You can enjoy the beach view while
sitting on the white sand while enjoying a cup of coffee. The stall owners are also
friendly. Then, you can walk around the beach and see the happy faces of
visitors with their families and children. There are some beauty photo spots
where you can take some photographs. You can also enjoy some rides of rented
ATV and go around along the beach.

BASIC SMOOTHIE FORMULA

A very simple recipe can guide you when making homemade fruit
smoothies. Here are the ingredients you will need and the recommended
amounts to make roughly 16 ounces:

 2 cups frozen fruit

 1 cup fresh fruit
 ½ cup liquid
 ¼ cup yogurt
 1–2 tbsp. sweetener
 Add-ins, optional
Now that you’ve got that basic recipe handy, let’s dive into each component of a
perfect smoothie.

HOW TO MAKE A FRUIT SMOOTHIE

While the recipe for a fruit smoothie is pretty basic, there is a special way of
adding in your ingredients so it blends with ease.  This can change depending on
if you’re using a personal-sized blender or a larger, more traditional blender, so
make sure you pay attention to the special note at the end!

Here are the steps for making the perfect frozen fruit smoothie  in a
traditional blender:
1. Pour in liquid. It doesn’t really matter when you add this in since it will
inevitably sink towards the blade.
2. Add yogurt. This more liquid ingredient will help to blend up the other
ingredients to it’s best if it’s placed closest to the blade.
3. Add fresh fruit. This is when fresh bananas, berries, or even an avocado go
into the blender.
4. Toss in leafy greens. These are also easier to blend than frozen fruit so it’s
good to place them closer to the blade.
5. Add frozen fruit. Make sure you’ve let it thaw for 5–10 minutes before this
step so the blender does not get hung up.
6. Toss in add-ins. This is the time to add anything extra to give your smoothie
a nutritional boost!
7. Blend it up! Start the blender on low so the ingredients slowly get mixed
together. Once it’s churning, ramp up the speed to medium and blend until
everything looks smooth and creamy.
25. What is the purpose of the text?

Fish

Fish are aquatic animals which belong to the group of vertebrates. There are
more than 30.000 species of fish in the world. Some of them live in freshwater and
some other live in saltwater. All of them breathe by using a special organ known
as “gills”. They are located on each side of their head and contain many blood
vessels for transporting oxygen to their body. As a fish opens its mouth to “inhale”,
water is filtered through the gills and oxygen is absorbed. Then, blood vessels
located in the gills transport the oxygen into the rest of the fish’s body.

Most fish are covered with scales to protect them from the water friction.
However, there are some of them that do not have scales for example sharks,
dolphins and whales. Fish have strong fins for swimming and moving through
water. They are made of skin with tiny bones or cartilage in. Fins come in lots of
shapes and sizes. Fish use their tail as a steering. It swings from side to side to
move forwards, left and right in the water.

Fish consume several foods such as plants, worms, and sometimes another
smaller fish. They use their mouth to catch them. But only few fish have teeth.
