Last month was New Year holiday. I and my family went to Pangandaran beach for a
vacation. We took a tourism bus to go there. We left at 07.00 o’clock in the morning.
The trip took about four hours and we arrived at around 11.00 am.
As we arrived there, I walked down to the beach. It was a nice sunny day with a blue
sky and a gentle breeze. I saw some seagulls flew around hunting for fish.
The waves there were suitable for swimming, but I didn’t swim because I couldn’t swim
and only play with the water on shallow part. We also didn’t miss our opportunity here
taking some pictures with the background of scenic Pangandaran beach.
Before we went home, I looked for some beautiful souvenir at the nearby shop there.
Eventually, we went home at about 05.00 pm. It was a memorable experience for me
with my family.

One day, a cat and a fox were having a conversation. The fox, who was a conceited
creature, boasted how clever she was. “Why, I know at least a hundred tricks to get
away from our mutual enemies, the dogs,” she said.
“I know only one trick to get away from dogs,” said the cat. “You should teach me
some of yours!”.
“Well, maybe someday, when I have the time, I may teach you a few of the simpler
ones”, replied the fox airily.
Just then they heard the barking of a pack of dogs in the distance. The barking grew
louder and louder – the dogs were coming in their direction! At once the cat ran to the
nearest tree and climbed into its branches, well out of reach of any dog. “This is the
trick I told you about, the only one I know”, said the cat. “Which one of your hundred
tricks are you going to use?”.
The fox sat silently under the tree, wondering which trick she should use. Before she
could make up her mind, the dogs arrived. They fell upon the fox and tore her to pieces.
Moral: A single plan that works is better than a hundred doubtful plans.

My Small House
I live in a small house. It has five rooms: there are two bedrooms, a living room, a
bathroom, and a kitchen. Indeed it is a small house; but I like living in here for wasting
my spare time.
When the door is open, I can see the living room. It is so small with only three chairs
and a table, nothing else. I prefer reading a novel in this room.
My bedroom is in the left side of the living room. In this room there is a night table next
to the bed, a TV, a radio, and a computer. When being bored of reading, I usually play
online games, chat with my friends via Facebook and so on.
Next to my bedroom is my mother’s. I do not know what is inside because I never come
in to see it. In the right side of the living room there is the kitchen. In the kitchen I have
everything I need when I get hungry. It is very pleasure when my mother cooks, the
smell fills my whole house.
I know it is a very small house; but it is the best place I have ever seen.

Blue Whale
blue whale
The blue whale is not only the biggest whale living today; the blue whale is the biggest
creature ever to have lived on Earth. They are mind-bogglingly gigantic; much larger
than any of the dinosaurs. Blue whales and the other ocean giants live their whole lives
in seawater.
Blue whales commonly reach the colossal length of 29m, that’s roughly as long as three
London red double-decker buses parked end to end. Blue whales in the Southern
Hemisphere are generally larger than those in the Northern Hemisphere and female
blues are larger than males.
The longest blue whale on record is a female measured at a South Georgia whaling
station in the South Atlantic (1909); she was 33.58m. The heaviest blue whale was also
a female hunted in the Southern Ocean, Antarctica, on 20 March 1947. She tipped the
scales at 190 tonnes which is equivalent to about 30 elephants or 2500 people.
Blue whales are now extremely rare due to uncontrolled commercial whaling. Some
populations could be endangered to the point of extinction.
