Activity 10
Listen to your teacher or friend reading the following story and answer the questions orally.
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep.
To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"
The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the
top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces. "Don't cry 'wolf',
shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.
Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he
watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away. When the villagers saw no wolf
they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf'
when there is NO wolf!"
But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.
Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as
loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!" But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they
didn't come.
At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep.
They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.
"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?" An
old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.
"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth,
Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!" (Taken from; Aesop Fables)

Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He
looked back at Slow and Steady and cried out, "How do you expect to
win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"
Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking,
"There is plenty of time to relax."
Slow and Steady walked and walked. He never, ever stopped until he

(
Some days later his ship left the harbor. The sea was calm but when he reached
the open sea there was a great storm. The ship was drowned. Malin Kundang and
his money changed into a stone.
One day Malin Kundang told his mother that he would go to town and work there.
At first his mother did not allow him but finally she let him go with tears.
Some years later he sailed to a harbor near his village. When his mother heard
about this news she came to meet him. Malin Kundang pretended not to know her.
He said, You are not my mother. Go away ! His mother became very sad and
before she went she said, Oh, Malin Kundang, you are wicked son. Youll never be
safe now. You and your money will turn to stone.
Now people call it Batu Simalin Kundang. We can see the stone from Air Manis, a
village on the coast of West Sumatra near Padang.
An old woman and her son lived in a little village. Her son was called Malin
Kundang. They were very poor but they loved each other very much
Malin Kundang worked hard in a big town and in a short time he became a rich

MY DAY AT THE BEACH
Last week my friend and I were bored after three weeks of holidays, so we rode our bikes to Smith
Beach, which is only five kilometers from where I live.
39
When we arrived at the beach, we were surprised to see there was hardly anyone there.
After having a quick dip in the ocean, which was really cold, we realized one reason there were not
many people there. It was also quite windy.
After we bought ourselves some hot chips at the takeaway store nearby, we rode our bikes down the
beach for a while, on the hard, damp part of the sand. We had the wind behind us and, before we knew it, we
were many miles down the beach.
Before we made the long trip back we decided to paddle our feet in the water for a while, and then sit
down for a rest. While we were sitting on the beach, just chatting, it suddenly dawned on us both that all the
way back we would be riding into the strong wind.
When we finally made it back home, we were both totally exhausted! But we learned some good
lessons that day!
Answer the following questions based on the above text.
1. When did the writer go to the beach?
2. What is the name of the beach?
3. How far is the beach from the writers house?
4. Were there many people playing on the beach?

Special Note:
The story above is called a recount text. It tells the reader a past event. It usually focuses
on a persons past experience, so it usually uses the word I or we.
A recount text has three elements: orientation or setting, events and reorientation or
concluding statements. Of the story. The orientation tells the reader who was involved in the
story, what happened, where the story took place, and when it happened. The events tell the
sequence of events. These are described in order. The re-orientation summarises the event.
Activity 19

A DAY TO REMEMBER
About six months ago when I was on holiday in Italy we went to visit the leaning tower of Pisa.
Looking at it from the outside it was massive. I am positively sure that it is one of the seven wonders of the
world. It was crooked and you would really believe it was going to fall, by the angle it sits in. It has 200 steps
leading up to the top. I was quite pleased with myself as I was the first person to reach the top but I was
almost blown off the side when I was nearly deafened by the sound of the bells. You were supposed to wear
earplugs for the noise but we didnt have any as we didnt know the bells were going to ring.
When the time came for us to go down again we thought we were going across the road to see a
big round building which had a long round roof. While we were walking inside someone came in and they
were talking very softly but it in fact made a loud echo.
Later we thought we would be sneaky and go down to the graveyard even though we had no
permission. There were a few creepy graves that we thought we would find some bones in but we werent in
luck. We looked in every grave that didnt have a top on but we didnt find any.
Still, that made our day a thrilling one and one to remember.

Fishing at Seribu Island

Orientation
Event 1
Event 2
Re-orientation
Last month, I left Jakarta for Seribu Island. I went there with some
members of Jakarta fishing club, who organized the monthly fishing activity.
Getting there was not quite easy. It needed two hours by speed boat in a bit
rough wave.
Soon, after our arrival at Seribu Island, we got a general briefing. The
chief of the fishing club gave some information about the fishing code. It
included an explanation how to release out the hook from the fish mouth
safely.
Then , we began our fishing. We set out to sea early in the morning.
Around 4 kilometers from the beach, we started to fish. Apparently, no one
caught any big fish. We caught mostly small yellowtail fish. After fishing for
nearly four hours, I only got five fish; three yellow fish, one salmon and one
little Merlin. It was not bad at all.
In Summary , the trip was mostly enjoyable. Fishing is absolutely an

interesting activity.

Dear Grandpa and Grandma

Yesterday at my school we had International Day. We had performances, food stalls ,
displays, raffles ticket draw and some of us were dressed in costumes.
We started our day off with performances but the one I liked best was the one from fourth
grade. It was about games. The performances I was in was called Labamba
Straight after our performances we had our lunch. There were food stalls. They came from
Australia, Asian, Arabic and Greece.
Everyone had a job. These people were from sixth grade. I did my job after I had lunch.
My job was to sell International Day Books.
We had displays in the hall. These displays were good but I didnt get to see them. The
displays came from a lot of countries.
There was also a Trash & Treasure stall where they sell toys. The school got these things
by asking the children to bring them in.
After lunch we had a raffle ticket draw. I didnt win anything but a lot of people did.
Although I didnt win anything, International Day was still fun
Love from Huy

Yesterday I went to the Glendi Festival with nine other kids from my class to take part in the dancing and
to have a good time. This festival is held in March each year in a big city park.

At first we went together to eat in one of the tents. We bought souvlakia, yiros, chips, roast corn on the
cob and drinks. Everything was so tasty.
Afterwards we visited the school tent where we viewed the student projects from many schools. Later we
gathered in front of the large stage. The announcer was calling the school teams one by one to dance Greek
dances. Our turn came! We danced two dances, a kalamatiano and a hasapiko. The crowd gave us a great
applause.
At the end of the day we were all tired but happy because we had a wonderful time.

By Air
I used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened.
After taking off, we flew low over the city. It slowly went high to the sky. But, suddenly it turned
round and flew back to the airport.
An air-hostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it touched down.
Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what happened.
Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board. Earlier somebody told the police
that there was a bomb on the plane.
After we landed, the police searched the plane carefully. Fortunately they did not find a bomb and
five hours later we were able to take off again.
