Hi my best friend, how are you there? I have a ton of stories about the experience of my vacation in Bali.
Clearly, this island is extraordinary and I really want to stay here. A few days ago I visited many extraordinary
places, for example, Kuta Beach, Sanur Beach, and the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park.
In the morning, I and the others went to the beach to see how the scenery was on the beach when the new day
was about to begin. As I thought, the scenery there was so beautiful that my eyes never stopped seeing it. If
you are here. surely we can watch the beautiful scenery together. Then I and the others went to another beach
because many people recommended the beach as a place that must be visited when vacationing in Bali. It is
true, the beaches in Bali are very beautiful. Next time we have to go there together.
I hope we can meet soon, my best friend.

Best Regard,
Thank you for
joining today's
class.
