Holiday in Malino
I spent my last holiday in Malino, South Sulawesi with my friends. On the first day, I arrived at Villa at
12.00 after a 4 hour trip with a bus. After I arrived, I decided to take a shower and rest for a while. Then,
I followed a trip with our guide to explore a Malino. On the next morning, we went to Malino Highlands.
We had fun, we also ate good food. On the last day, I went shopping for some souvenirs. After that, I
returned to Makassar. We arrived in Makassar at 19.00. I had a wonderful experience in Malino. It was

A Trip to the National Zoo and Aquarium
Yesterday, my family and I went to the National Zoo and Aquarium to visit the new Snow Cubs and the
other animals. In the morning, when we got to the Zoo and Aquarium there was a great big line, so we
had to wait awhile to get in. After we entered the zoo, we went straight to the enclosure for the Snow
Cubs. My brother and I were so excited to see them. They were so cute and playful. At lunchtime Dad
decided to cook a bbq. He cooked sausages so we could have sausage sandwiches.
Mum forgot the tomato sauce so we had to eat them plain. In the afternoon, we visited the aquarium.

A Fashion Faux Pas
Last week, I had a rather embarrassing incident involving a pair of pants. I'd recently bought a new pair
of jeans that I was quite proud of. They were a dark wash, fitted, and stylish. I was excited to wear them
out for the first time.
On the day of my big outing, I got dressed and headed out the door, feeling confident and stylish. I was
walking down the street, minding my own business, when I suddenly felt a strange sensation. I looked
down and to my horror, I realized that the back of my jeans had ripped right down the seam!
I was mortified. I quickly tried to cover the rip with my jacket, but it was too late. People were staring. I
felt like a clown. I had to cut my outing short and head home, feeling defeated and humiliated.
As embarrassing as it was, I can now laugh about it. I've learned a valuable lesson about checking your
clothes before leaving the house.
