My Day
I had a terrible day yesterday. First, I woke up an hour late because my alarm clock
didn't go off. Then, I was in such a hurry that I burned my hand when I was making
breakfast. After breakfast, I got dressed so quickly that I forgot to wear socks.
Next, I ran out of the house trying to get the 9:30 bus, but of course I missed it. I
wanted to take a taxi, but I didn't have enough money.
Finally, I walked the three miles to my school only to discover that it was Sunday! I
hope I never have a day as the one I had yesterday.

I remember the day when I first got Sandy, my 7 year old cat. I wanted to name her because she was so
cute. My older sister Michelle convinced me to name her Sandy Bucket instead; so we could call
her Sandy for short. I was so attached to Sandy. Every time I saw her, I couldnt walk away, I would just
have to hug her. I even slept at the end of my bed, so I can hug her the whole night even though I was
freezing.
I always remember so many fun times with Sandy. Like when we would run and jump off the end of
our pier, and Sandy would chase after us. When I was scared or mad, I would just hug Sandy and
everything wouldnt be so bad.
But one night, right before I went to bed, my mom let her out. While I went to sleep, my mom went to
call Sandy back in. But she didnt come in, so I thought she maybe went inside my neighbors house. As
my mom and dad went outside to look for Sandy, I became really worried. They couldnt find her. Every
ten minutes they would go out to look for her, so I went to bed hoping she was safe. I just thought she got
lost and would come back tomorrow.
The next day was the worst. My mom woke us early and told me and my sister, Michelle,
that Sandy died last night. I was so sad and did not want to do anything that day. When I was going to
school, I could not stop crying. At school all my friends made me cards and tried to make me stop crying,
but I couldnt. my teacher would always look at me and ask why I was crying. Even my friends was crying
with me.
When I got home I went to my room crying really loudly. I wanted to scream. I came downstairs and
hugged my mom. She said we could get another cat. Then, she was trying to find a new cat on the
internet. But I did not want another cat. I want Sandy. She never found one that looked like Sandy or at
the same age or even in the same kind.
That night I slept with my mom and we prayed for Sandy. I kept thinking she was a ghost at the end of
the bed, so I stayed closed to my mom. The next day I figured out that if Sandy was a ghost, she would
not scare me or haunt me. She would be waiting for me to play with her.
I still think about Sandy every day and wish she could come back.

TESSIE
We were moving house and dad asked me to help him sort out all the boxes in the storeroom. I hadn't
been in the storeroom for aged and wondered what we would find. One wall was line with shelves,
stacked with boxes almost to the ceiling there were many other wrapped up objects of different shafts and
size Dad open the boxes and rummaged through them. I moved over to a wooden box and was just about
to lift the lid when it toppled over. Everything fell out into a heap.
Be careful!' shouted dad, There may be something fragile in there
Then I saw it! My heart began to pound and my knees began to shake. It was a rubber ring. It had
belonged to my beloved dog. Tessie. She died two years ago.
I was only four when we got Tessie. I chose her from among other puppies. She was my best friend.
Although she had a basket in the kitchen she would creep up to my room at night and sleep in the bottom
of the bed. If I was cold she would snuggle up next to me.
Tessie could do anything. She could beg and sit and shake a paw. I taught her to fetch things. One
Christmas I bought her a rubber ring I wrapped it up in shiny paper and place it under Christmas tree. She
played with it everyday. Tessie would wait at the front door when she knew it was time for me to come
home from school. She would howl the panting with the rubber ring in front of her If didn't play, she would
howl and wouldn't stop until I did. In the weekend we would take the ring to ihe playground and play for
hours and hours until neither of us could run anymore.
Then one day Tessie feIl ill. She didnt wait for me by the front door anymore and she didn't want to play
with the ring I tried to encourage her, "Come on, Tessie. Come and play. :
Seemed out of breath She couldnt walk very well and she wasn't eating properly. Mum and I took her to
the vet. The vet shook her head and told us that Tessie was really sick
There,nothing they can do for her, 'mum whispered to me.
I went to the room where Tessie was waiting and said my goodbyes I felt her warm fur for the last time on
my face and then I ran out side and cried. . . .
What's the matter, son?' asked Dad. He put an arm around my shoulder. We all miss her, 'said Dad sadly,
'She was a good dog, a really good dog. I nodded and put the ring hack in the box

On Wednesday, my students and I went to Jogjakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel which is not far from
Malioboro.
On Thursday we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the Brahmana,
Syiwa and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We visited only Brahma and Syiwa temples, because
Wisnu temple is being renovated.
On Friday morning we went to Jogja Kraton. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky
because we were led by a smart and friendly guide. Then we continued our journey to Borobudur. We
arrived there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard an announcement that Borobudurgate would be closed.
