Contoh jawaban:
Last Sunday Rida visited her aunt in a village. In the
morning, Rida’s aunt asked Rida to go with her to the market.
She would buy vegetables and fruit. There wasn’t any
supermarket in the village so they had to go to a traditional
market. Rida reluctantly went to the market because she had
never been there before. However, this time she could not refuse.
Rida and her aunt went to the market by becak. There were
many people in the market. It had rained heavily the night before
so the market was muddy. Rida and her aunt’s slippers were
covered with mud.
Rida’s aunt soon walked to the vegetable seller. After
bargaining for a moment, Rida’s aunt got the vegetables she
needed. Then, she walked towards the fruit seller and bought
fresh fruit. She put her vegetables and fruit in the basket she
brought from home.
Passing a woman selling traditional cakes, Rida’s aunt
stopped and bought a few. She told Rida that Rida should try
traditional cakes. They were as delicious as modern cakes. Rida
just nodded her head.
It was Rida’s first experience shopping in a traditional
market.

A few month ago, I learned to plant vegetables in a bottle using a hydroponics method.
First of all, I prepared the materials to plant the vegetables. I had a bottle sized 2 liter, coconut coir as growing media, 2–3
cups of water, 1–2 wicks, nutrient, rockwool cube, seeds and scissors. Then, I started making the media.
First, I drew a line around the bottle and cut across the line. Then, I flipped the top over. After that I prepared the nutrient and
put it in the water. Next, I added the wick at the top bottle. Then, I added the nutrient water in the upper bottle and place the wet
coconut coir on the top. I also placed the rockwool cube on the coconut coir on the top as the place to grow the seeds. Then,
I placed the seeds in the rockwool. I took care of the plants well and the plant started growing.
That’s my story. Thank you for listening.
