Sita likes to spend her time in a park near her house. She is keen on seeing people gather and
have a chitchat there. One thing that she is always interested in, is a clown. She likes to see the clown,
with his special costume and funny behaviour, entertaining people. She initially didn’t know who the
clown is and was eager to know him.
One afternoon, Sita went to the park. As usual, she saw the clown under a big tree. He looked
tired and sat on the ground alone. Sita approached him and offered him bread. Thw clown thanked her
and enjoyed it. It seemed that he was hungry. Then, they had a chitchat. The clown told her that he
lives in a small house. His wife passed away 5 years ago, so now he lives with his only daughter. He
works as a clown to give his daughter a better education. He doesn’t give up on his fate. He wants his
daughter to be a sucessful person and he will struggle for her.
Sita was interested in listening to the clown’s story. She wanted to know the clown’s daughter,
so she asked him if she could meet his daughter. The clown didn’t mind and soon they walked to his
house that is not far from the park.
Several minutes later, they arrived at a small and simple house. It is the clown’s house. When
they arrived, a pretty girl welcomed them. You know what! The girl is one of my schoolmates! What a
coincidence.

were riding their bicycle while chitchatting and enjoying the serenity of villages and rice fields. Then, I
asked for a bicycle to my parents, but they didn’t have much money. They spent moner money to pay
for my brother’s tuitions to study at university. I realised that my brother needed it.
Then, I had an idea to work during my holiday, but my parents disagreed. My rother gave me an
idea to make goody bag and then sold them online. I did make several and promote them. Luckily, a
person contacted me to order 500 goody bags for her wedding’s souvenirs. I did it during my holiday.
My mother and brother also helped me. My customer was satisfied with the bags and I was so glad.
Latter, I asked for my parents permission to use the money to buy a bicycle. They agreed. Then,
my father accompanied me to a bicycle shop. Now, I ride my bicycle to school, along with my friends.

My friend and I didn’t even know that this quaint little museum existed but after dodging the
dreaded Madame Tussauds’ queue, we looked up where else we could go in the area. In comparison,
the queue to Sherlock Holmes Museum was long but moved very quickly and we were soon inside the
warm, Georgian house, for only £8.
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John H. Watson lived at 221b Baker Street in 1881-1904, according
to the stories. The house is protected by the government due to its “special architectural and historical
interest”, while the 1st floor study overlooking Baker Street is still faithfully maintained for posterity as it
was kept in Victorian Times.
The museum is fun for old and young alike. It is decorated as it is described in the books and
you can really imagine the old detective puzzling mysteries over his pipe. Within each room they have
props you can pose with and wax models representing victims and villains from the books including the
notorious Moriarty.
The part of the museum that my friend and I particularly enjoyed was a book of all the letters
posted to the address throughout the years: from children requesting the great detective to solve their
mysteries to adults expressing their love for the novels. The book is full of some great treats including
adults who genuinely believe the character to be real and have shown their appreciation for his
services to the community.
After your journey around the Georgian town house, you can visit the gift shop next door and
indulge yourself with a magnifying glass or a flat cap. It is an enjoyable experience. Make the most of
our city and its literary culture.

Once upon a time Sammy and his sister Marie visited their grandparents at their farm. Sammy
picked up a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practised in the woods, but he could never hit
the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for the lunch. As he was walking back, he saw
Grandma’s pet duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly which hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He
was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the pile of woods. Marry had seen it all
from the window, but she said nothing. After the lunch, the next day Grandma said, “Marie, lets wash
the dishes.” Marie said, “But Grandma, Sammy told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.”
Then she whispered to Sammy, “Remember the duck?”, Sammy got nervous knowing her his
sister knew about the duck and if he did not obey, she might tell his grandparents about it. So, without
saying anything he did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing, but Grandma said, “I’m sorry,
but I need Marie to help make supper. “Marie just smiled and said, “Well, that’s all right because
Sammy told me he wanted to help”.
She whispered again to Sammy. “Remember the duck?” So, Marie went fishing and Sammy
stayed to help. After several days of Marie taking advantage of sammy, he finally couldn’t stand it any
longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed her duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, “sweetheart, I know. I was standing at the
window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I’ve forgiven you. I was just wondering how
long you would let Marie take advantage of you.

Dear Irene
It is good to know that you’re doing well. Thanks for sharing the story your last time in Norway. I
found it really impressive. I’m glad you had a good time. Your story made me want to add that country
to my bucket list.
As we’re on the topic of vacations, I also wanted to share about how I ended up going to Italy. I
told you earlier this year that I was going to visit my grandparents in Scotland just like any other year.
However, it turned out that my grangparents were going on trip with their friends from the senior
community. Therefore I cancelled my trip at the last minute. Before the trip, I already freed up my
schedule, as I did not just want to stay in London alone. I thought it would be fun to visit Italy as I had
never been there before. I arranged everything in a hurry and made it to Italy at last.
The first place on my list was none other than The Learning Tower of Pisa. I know it is common
tourist place, but I’ve always wanted to see it for myself. It was indeed fascinating how the tower was
actually learning. I walked around the complex and took a lot of pictures before I headed to another
place. I spent two days in Rome and Milan. Then I travelled quite far from the city, to the Northeastern
part of the country. Venice was so much beautiful than I expected. All the canals and the bridges
looked like something from a painting. The views were marvellous and breath-taking. I also took a
gondola ride which would actually have been so much better If I were not alone. I cannot wait to come
back and bring you with me.
Well, that’s all for now. I hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Love,
Sonia

A laptop is a kind of computer unit which has the same function as PC (personal computer), but
it is smaller, lighter and of different sizes. Nowadays, most people choose laptops for several reasons.
Laptop is a portable device. This portability is very helpful for our work, study and other
activities. We do not need complicated cable installations to activate a laptop, and with a laptop, we
can do our work anytime, anywhere.
Morever, a laptop allows us to access the internet in public places which provide free access
called hot spot areas. Some pople like to use this facility to carry out their tasks.
Finally, a laptop consumes energy more efficiently than a PC does. This device uses
rechargeable battery as a source of electric energy. So if we prefer using a laptop, it means that we
support the government program to save energy.
That’s why a laptop has become very popular recently.
54. A public place where we can have free access to the internet is a/an…
A. Free access

Have you ever seen a solar eclipse? It is a natural phenomenon that happens when the moon
passes in front of the Sun and blocks it completely. When you look up into the sky at the Sun and the
Moon , you will notice a strange coincidence that can make you feel curious because they both look
like the same size in the sky and you will see really beatiful sight.
An eclipse occurs at the times when the Moon moves into a position of direct alignment with the
Sun and the Eart. There are three types of solar eclipses; a total solar eclipse, a partial solar eclipse,
and an annular solar eclipse.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the new moon passes direcly between the Sun and the Eart.
The moon’s complete shadow ( the umbra ) sweeps across the narrow path of totality on the Earth.
Daytime briefly turns into total darkness, and during these few precious minutes the halo of the Sun-
the corona – comes into view as the dark disk of the Moon totally obscures the bright Sun. Outside the
path of totally, in the Moon’s partial shadow ( the penumbra ), some portion of the Sun’s bright disk
remain visible.
A partial solar eclipse also occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Sun and the Earth.
However , only the penumbra touches our planet. The umbra passes either just above the North Pole
or just below the South Pole, completely missing the Earth. N total eclipse is visible—only partial
phases can be seen.
An annular solareclipse occurs when the Moon’s umbra passesacross the Earth, but it doesn’t
take a long time to reach the surface; the shadow come diminishes to point before reaching the Earth.
This effect happens when the Moon is farther out in its orbit around the Earth. The moon appears
slightly smaller and is not completely large enough to cover the Sun. When the Moon, is centered over
the Sun , a ring of sunlight remains visible around the edge. Because the Sun is not completely
covered by the Moon, the rare and dramatic effects of a total solar eclipse are not present at either
annular or partial eclipses of the Sun.
It is quite remarkable that a solar eclipse can occur because the Sun and the Moon appear from
Earth to be about the same size in the sky. The Sun, whose diameter is 400 times larger than the
Moon, is about 400 times as far away from the Earth. This condition permits the Moon to cover up the
Sun. In fact, if the Moon’s diameter ( 2,160 miles ) was just 140 milesless. It would not be large enough
to completely cover the Sun.

Indonesia’s largest international airports have stopped flights to and from China following the
government's decision to impose a temporary travel ban to prevent the spread of the corona virus,
which was first discovered in Wuhan.
State-owned airport operator Angkasa Pura II (AP II), which runs Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport in Cengkareng, Tangerang, confirmed the stoppage on Wednesday.
“We have prepared for this matter with all stakeholders, especially all airlines that serve flights
from Jakarta to China and vice versa. We hope that this temporary halt to flights will be understood by
all parties,” AP II president director Muhammad Awaluddin said, as quoted by Antara News Agency.
Soekarno-Hatta is the only AP II airport that serves scheduled and regular flights to and from
China. Before the ban, there had been 16 flight routes from Soekarno-Hatta to several destinations in
China and vice versa. The routes included flights to Beijing, Guangzhou Baiyun, Shenzen Bao’an,
Shanghai Pudong, Kunming, Nanning, Haikou Meilan, Fuzhou Changle, and Xiamen Gaoqi. During
normal service, 143 takeoffs and landings occur weekly at the airport on these routes.

TEMPO.CO, Semarang - The Indonesian Forum for the Environment (Walhi) assessed that
disasters occurring on Java Island were attributable to poor spatial planning. Consequently,
Java contributed to the highest number of catastrophies in the archipelago.
Many areas on the island that should be water catchment areas have changed functions.
“There is a function shift of protected areas to commercial use, whether for industry, offices,
educational centers, or others. We call it spatial planning mismanagement,” said Walhi’s
campaigner Abdul Ghofar in Semarang, Monday, January 23, 2023.
He noted that in the last four years, Java has become the epicenter of disasters in the
country. In 2019, 2,351 disasters occurred, or 61 percent of the total national disasters. In 2020,
there were 2,368 disasters, or 50.9 percent of the national disasters. In 2021, there were 2,511
disasters or 46.3 percent of the national disasters. In 2022, there were 1,839 disasters, or 51.8
percent of the national disasters.
“There are three provinces which over the past four years have become the three top
biggest contributors to disasters in Indonesia. They are West Java, Central Java, and East
Java,” he said.
The massive conversion of land functions in Java has also been triggered by a large
number of developments, both by government and private parties, including the national
strategic project (PSN). “Java Island has 83 PSN, or 33 percent of the total PSN, with an
investment value of Rp1,923 trillion,” Abdul disclosed.
The high number of infrastructure development is also eased by licensing without
adequate environmental standards. After the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law or Perpu
on Job Creation Perpu and the Environment Minister’s Regulation on the exception of the
environmental impact analysis (Amdal) obligation were issued, the licensing process for spatial
planning was relaxed.
Meanwhile, no big cities in Java have fulfilled the obligation of green open spaces.
“None of the big cities in Java have fulfilled the spatial planning law, namely 30 percent areas
allocated for green open spaces,” Abdul underlined.
Walhi Central Java Executive Director Fahmi Bastian cited an example of
mismanagement of spatial planning in Semarang. According to him, disasters often occurred in
the city because the upper area which should function as a water catchment have turned into
industrial and residential areas.

You can move the highest mountains
Cross the greatest oceans and
Walk across the water, the water

You can move the highest mountains
Cross the greatest oceans and
