My Barbie Doll
I have a Silkstone Barbie Doll. It is a birthday present from my mother.
My Silkstone Barbie Doll is made of a very hard vinyl that mimics porcelain. The doll seems just
a bit taller than other Barbie dolls. It has a permanent model’s pose. Its right arm is bent for placement
on the hip. Its left leg is bent at the knee. The doll has joints at the neck, shoulders, hips and waist.
The knees do not bend on the doll: the position is permanent. The bent “on the hip” arm can make the
dolls a bit difficult to dress.
The outfits for my Silkstone Barbie Doll are full of details and are made of fine fabrics. The doll
is completed with extra clothing and accessories.
The doll is very beautiful. I like playing with it. It always accompanies me when I am lonely.
When I sleep, I always put it beside me. It is really my best friend.

Once I lived in a dormitory with some Australian students. There were about twenty of us on
the same floor and there were only two fridges available. Our neighbors were so friendly but
problems first emerged when my Singaporean neighbor put her chopped garlic in the fridge. All
the Australians complained about the garlic. But the Asians complained about the smell of pasta
(noodles) which to us, smelled like a toilet! At last, we decided to wrap garlic and pasta before
placing them in the fridge. This taught us to understand and respect each other’s cultures. So, it is
not good to fry ‘ikan asin’ or ‘sambal terasi’ if you live very near Australians!

When I first came to Bali I knew no Indonesian, but I was keen on speaking it. Therefore, usually
I experimented with sentences by guessing and putting words together. One day I was sitting on
the beach and a lady came up to me offering to sell me a sarong. I wanted to tell her that I had no
money but I didn't know how, so I decided to guess. “Saya tidak orang,” I said. The lady stared at
me in horror and touched me on the arm! Realizing I wasn’t a ghost, she started to laugh and told
me that it was ‘uang’ and that the word for ‘to have’ was ‘punya’. I’ll never forget my Indonesian
lesson that day. So the moral is don’t be afraid to make mistakes–it’s a great way of learning!
(Sarah Wood, an Australian exchange teacher working at IALF Bali)

When Arvan was in hospital, he stayed in the children’s ward. It was a long room with lots
of beds. There were other children in all the beds. Some of them smiled and waved to him.
There were lots of things for Arvan to do. First of all, he had a blood test. A nurse took a little
blood from him. She used a needle–it did sting a bit, but it wasn’t too bad. The nurse told Arvan
that the blood test would help the doctor find out how to take care of him.
Then, Arvan was taken to a special room in the X-ray department. A nurse helped him to
get up on a table, and asked him to lie there without moving. A giant-sized camera took
a photograph, called an X-ray, of Arvan’s insides. It didn’t hurt at all.
Arvan stayed in hospital for a few days. He made some new friends there, and his mother
came to visit him every day. A teacher came to the ward every day too, and she brought along
something for all the children to do. In the afternoon Arvan liked to draw pictures with the other
children.

a little blood from him using a needle. Actually it did sting a bit, but it wasn’t too bad. You know,
the blood test would help the doctor find out how to take care of Arvan.
After that, the nurse took Arvan to the X-ray room. She helped him to get up on a table and
asked him to lie there. Then, a giant-sized camera took a photograph of Arvan’s insides.

built tents. It was enjoying because we did it together. Then, the girls prepared lunch and the boys
helped them. At about twelve p.m. we had lunch. Then, our activities began. At about one p.m. we
had to walk through the forest. We all know that we should keep the forest. We may not scratch or
take any exotic flowers. Moreover, we should not litter.
At first, we still had conversations and made jokes. However, when we arrived at the deeper
part in the forest, some girls shouted because they were afraid. They felt relieved after we finally
went out of the forest. Then, we had to cross a river. We did it hand in hand and we were happy
doing this. We also played in the water. At about five p.m., we arrived at our camping area. Then,
we cooked fried rice. This time, all boys cooked it. Guess what happened! Some were overcooked!
At six p.m., we had dinner. Then, we enjoyed the evening and had a bonfire. Some friends sang
songs, and some others had jokes. I myself played the guitar to accompany those who sang. At
about eleven p.m., we went sleeping.

Well, my mother ever told me that when I was a kid, just around about two years old, I was
nearly drowned. At that time I was playing by the pond in my house, and apparently I slipped and
fell in. However, somehow I stood up just enough so my mouth was sticking out above the water.
And I didn’t cry out. I was apparently too busy trying to breathe. Eventually, my mother came out.
Well, she found me standing in the pond with my head just above the water. Then, she pulled me
out before anything bad happened. Luckily, there was nothing serious about me.

My family likes the sea very much. When we had a holiday last year, we went to a place at the
seaside and borrowed a boat from one of our friends. Then, we sailed and fished on the sea all
day. We also had races against other boats.
When the sea was rough, we sailed on a small lake near the sea instead. We were very
careful on this lake because there were a lot of sharp rocks there, and the water was shallow. We
did not want to damage our friend’s boat.
There were not many fish in the lake, but in the sea we caught a lot with a hook, line and small
pieces of bread. The fish were not very big, but they tasted very good. When the weather was fine,
we sailed to the land at lunch time, collected pieces of dry wood and fried or grilled our fish over
them on the beach.
There is an island about a mile from our friend’s house, and we sailed to it. The water was
very clear there, and there was a beautiful beach with white sand and no rocks. We bathed there.
It was a lot of fun.

I was really afraid to tell her the fact because the glass was one of my mother’s favorites,
I guessed. I said, “Not . . . me. It was Ela.”
Ela felt shocked hearing this. I could see it from her face. She tried to defend hersef, “No. It
was Eka . . . .” But mother believed me more than her.
Then, mother asked her, “If you have made a mistake, confess it bravely. Now, sweep the floor
and clean it from the broken glass. Eka, please help your sister.” I helped her. But I saw there were
some tears in her big eyes. I kept silent. In my heart, I felt that I won over her.
However, since that time, she didn’t want to be with me anymore. She played with her doll and
directly left when I approached her. She also didn’t come to my class during the break as she
usually did before. And, she kept locking herself in her room. I felt really lonely, and realized that it
was my fault actually. I felt guilty.
Then, one day, I approached her when she was playing. She was almost leaving. However,
I grasped her hand and said, “Forgive me, dear sister. It was my fault.” At first she still didn’t want
to see me. However, I kept apologizing. Then, she finally said, “O.K.” She cried. I embraced her
and promised I would never do it anymore.

Dear Mirima,
My brother and I are in Bukittinggi now. We arrived here on Sunday morning at five.
It was already busy probably because of the holidays. We went directly to the remains of
De Kock Fortress and found a lot of people jogging along this area. We took a rest here,
sat under the tree and enjoyed the fresh air.
It was almost 6:30 a.m. We went to a famous warung, called “Pical si Kai”. Here we
had coffee, pical, ketupat gulai, etc. Because all hotels had been full, we rented a room in
a house nearby. The room was quite nice and clean. The rent was not too expensive.
At about eight we went to Sianok Valley. It is such a very beautiful valley. On the
bank of the valley there is a long cave, called Japanese cave. It is very long. It goes
deeply into the ground with an entrance at one end, and an exit at the other end. The
people here said that a long time ago the cave was used by the Japanese army to protect
themselves from the Dutch attack. At that time it seemed that there was nothing in the
ground. Both the entrance and the exit were covered by plants.
That’s our first day in Bukittinggi. We are going to visit Lake Maninjau, Lembah Anai
Falls, etc. the following day. Hope to be here with you someday. Please reply soon.
Love,

Dear Tantri,
It’s nice reading the story about your last holiday. I am interested in going to
Bandung some day. Will you go there again together with me?
Well, talking about my holiday, I spent it with my friends. We had a camping in
a hill about seven kilometers from my house. We spent two days there. It was really
a nice experience, you know. Moreover, we all who joined the camp are girls! So,
we did what boys usually do when we were camping, like bringing our heavy stuff,
carrying pails of water from the river nearby, etc. We also built our tents ourselves.
It was really enjoyable for us. It was like we had our own home. Wanna try with me?

Dear Putri,
Putri, I’m so glad knowing that you and your family will come here next holiday. We
haven’t met each other for a long time. I miss you so much. If you come here, I will show
you a new park in my town. It is a nice place.
You said you and your family would go by train. However, I don’t know when you will
come here exactly. Please tell me the time, so I can pick you up at the railway station.
O.K., that’s all for now. Please reply soon. My love to Auntie, Uncle and Raka.
Love,
Diana

C. Write a letter to your friend or family based on one of the topics below.
Topics:
● Your experience when you were an elementary school student.
● Your sad/embarrassing experience.
Dear Ida,
How have you been? I really miss you because we haven’t met since we graduated from
elementary school.
I remember when we first got to be close to each other. When we were in the fourth grade,
in the art lesson. Mr. Gunawan asked us to sing a national song. When it was my turn to come
forward, I felt really afraid. I didn’t want to do it. All our friends encouraged me, including you.
Finally, I stepped forward, but I didn’t know what to sing. Even Mr. Gunawan sang a song
himself and asked me to repeat after him. However, his attempt was useless. I still didn’t sing.
Then, I went to my seat. He got angry with me. Later, during the break, you approached me
and encouraged me. You said that I had a good voice. You also said that not all our friends
were better than me. I felt courageous because of your encouragement. Then, after the break,
I told Mr. Gunawan that I would sing, and I made it. Since that time, you always encouraged
me whenever I felt down. Thanks, mate.
Now, it’s been more than a year we have separated from each other. I believe you have
stories to tell. I look forward to hearing from you.
With love,
Betsy

Write a letter about your experience when going to a tourist place.
Contoh jawaban:
Dear Anita,
How was your holiday? Did you have any interesting experience during your holiday?
Well, I want to tell you my experience. Last holiday my friends and I went to the zoo.
It is a new zoo in my town. Many people are interested to visit it, including us.
Actually, the zoo is not far from our houses. That’s why we just rode our bikes.
Arriving there, we bought the tickets. Entering the zoo, we could see many animals in their
own shelters or cages. Firstly, we saw the elephants shelter. There were four elephants in
the shelter. Wow! They were really big!
Then, we went to the monkey cage. Actually I wanted to throw some peanuts to the
monkeys, but we were not allowed to do it. We just smiled and laughed looking at the
monkey’s behavior.
After that, we walked around the zoo and saw many other animals. We were in the
zoo for about two hours. We really enjoyed our holiday there. Will you come and see the
zoo some day with me?
Love,
Rindra
