the road, we saw an old woman carrying a big basket of fruit. The old woman looked like she
was in pain. She suddenly dropped her basket and almost fainted.
At once, we ran towards her. I asked her if she was all right. The old woman did not reply: she
just shook her head. Tessie decided to call an ambulance, and quickly ran to the public telephone
near the coffee shop.
The ambulance arrived a few minutes later, and took the old woman to the nearest hospital. We
could not accompany her there because we had to go to school.
After school, we visited her at the hospital. The old woman was very happy to see us and
thanked us for helping her. Jessie and I were also very happy because we had helped the old
woman.

My Horrible Experience
Let me remind you my experience during an earthquake last week. When the earthquake
happened, I was on my car. I was driving home from my vocation to Bali.
Suddenly my car lunched to one side, to the left. I thought I got flat tire. I did not know that it
was an earthquake. I knew it was an earthquake when I saw some telephone and electricity poles
falling down to the ground, like matchsticks.
Then I saw a lot of rocks tumbling across the road. I was trapped by the rock. Even I could not
move my car at all. There were rocks everywhere. There was nothing I could do but left the car
and walked along way to my house, in the town.
When I reached my town, I was so surprised that there was almost nothing left. The earthquake
made a lot of damage to my town. Although nothing was left, I thanked God that nobody was
seriously injured.

My Rush Time as a Journalist
I usually woke up at eight o’clock a.m. and went to the Press Center to check the daily schedule
of briefings and press conferences. It was usually held by the United Nation officials or disaster
mitigation team.
It was challenging to visit different refugee camps to find soft stories, human interest stories.
After that I went back to the Press Center to cover the press conferences of the day.
It was heart breaking when I saw these survivors fight for food and secondhand clothing.
Unfortunately as they said, the food and clothing were limited and inadequate. Emerging to
glaring, fool noon, it was time to go back to Press Center to write stories and race against time. I
was always fearing that the internet would come crushing down.
After everything was done, only then I remembered to eat. Most times, I only ate once a day
because I always had to rush and again it was difficult to find food. I had to travel quite far. I
needed to spend a 30 to 45 minutes by car just to find fresh food.

 BIOGRAPHY OF SULTAN ABDUL HAMID II

Abdul Hamid II was born on September 21, 1842. He is the 27’th Calif of Chaliphate of
Turks, a global state of Moslem world. He spoke Turkish, Arabic, and Persian Language. He was
appointed Calif on August 1876 at the age of 34. He appointed as Calif after the death of his
uncle, Abdul Aziz. He inherited the power when the country was in chaos because of many
problems. He ruled the states which territory stretching from Morocco to India.
During his reign, the Jews were very ambitious to occupy Palestine, because they thought it
belongs to them. But their ambition was never achieved because Abdul Hamid II stood up
against their plans. On 1896, Theodore Hertzl, the founder of recent Israel, ventured to the Sultan
Abdul Hamid as he requested permission to put up a building in al-Quds (Jerusalem). Sultan
refused the request by reason that Palestine belongs to all Muslims, not him.
The Jews were very angry. They thought that Ottoman Chaliphate and Abdul Hamid, it’s
Calif, were the hindrance of their plan. The Jews then held a conference in Basel Switzerland, on
29-31 August 1897 in order to formulate new strategies undermine Ottoman Caliphate. In 1902,
Hertzl for the umpteenth time to the Sultan Abdul Hamid in order to bribed him. But for the
umpteenth time he resolutely refused, even he did not want to see Herztl. Since then the Jews
with Zionism launched a movement to overthrow the Sultan. By using the slogan “liberation”,
“freedom”, and so on, they called the administration Abdul Hamid II as “Hamidian absolutism.”
Jewish efforts finally succeeded in through their agent Mustafa kemal. They eventually seize
Palestinian territory.

BIOGRAFI CUT NYAK DHIEN

CUT NYAK DHIEN

Cut Nyak Dhien was a leader of the Acehnese guerrilla forces during the Aceh War. She was
born in Lampadang in 1848. Following the death of her husband Teuku Umar, she led guerrilla
actions against the Dutch for 25 years. She was awarded the title of Indonesian National Hero on
2 May 1964 by the Indonesian government.
Cut Nyak Dhien was born into an Islamic aristocratic family in Aceh Besar. Her father, Teuku
Nanta Setia, was a member of the ruling Ulèë Balang aristocratic class in VI mukim, and her
mother was also from an aristocratic family. She was educated in religion and household matters.
She was renowned for her beauty, and many men proposed to marry her. Finally, she married
Teuku Cik Ibrahim Lamnga, the son of an aristocratic family, when she was twelve.
On 26 March 1873, the Dutch declared war on Aceh. In November 1873, during the Se-cond
Aceh Expedition, the Dutch successfully captured VI mukim in 1873, followed by the Sultan’s
Palace in 1874.
In 1875, Cut Nyak Dhien and her baby, along with other mothers, were evacuated to a safer
location while her husband Ibrahim Lamnga fought to reclaim VI mukim. Lamnga died in action
on June 29, 1878. Hearing this, Cut Nyak Dhien was enraged and swore to destroy the Dutch.
Some time later, Teuku Umar proposed to marry her. Learning that Teuku Umar would allow her
to fight, she accepted his proposal. They were married in 1880. This greatly boosted the morale
of Aceh armies in their fight against Dutch. Teuku Umar and Cut Nyak Dhien had a daughter,
Cut Gambang.
The war continued, and the Acehnese declared Holy War against the Dutch, and were engaged in
guerrilla warfare. Undersupplied, Teuku Umar surrendered to the Dutch forces on September 30,
1893 along with 250 of his men. The Dutch army welcomed him and appointed him as a
commander, giving him the title of Teuku Umar Johan Pahlawan. However, Teuku Umar
secretly planned to betray the Dutch. Two years later Teuku Umar set out to assault Aceh, but he
instead deserted with his troops taking with them heavy equipment, weapons, and ammunition,
using these supplies to help the Acehnese. This is recorded in Dutch history as “Het verraad van
Teukoe Oemar” (the treason of Teuku Umar).
The Dutch general Johannes Benedictus van Heutsz sent a spy to Aceh. Teuku Umar was killed
during a battle when the Dutch launched a surprise attack on him in Meulaboh. When Cut
Gambang cried over his death, Cut Nyak Dhien slapped her and then she hugged her and said:
“As Acehnese women, we may not shed tears for those who have been martyred.”
After her husband died, Cut Nyak Dhien continued to resist the Dutch with her small army until
its destruction in 1901, as the Dutch adapted their tactics to the situation in Aceh. Furthermore,
Cut Nyak Dhien suffered from nearsightedness and arthritis as she got older. The number of her
troops was also decreasing and they suffered from lack of supplies.
One of her troops, Pang Laot, told the Dutch the location of her headquarters in Beutong Le
Sageu. The Dutch attacked, catching Dhien and her troops by surprise. Despite desperately
fighting back, Dhien was captured. Her daughter, Cut Gambang, escaped and continued the
resistance. Dhien was brought to Banda Aceh and her myopia and arthritis slowly healed, but in
the end she was exiled to Sumedang, West Java because the Dutch were afraid she would
mobilize the resistance of Aceh people. She died on 6 November 1908.

Visiting My Village

photo with their style like I did. In the evening, we were back home. And did other private

their son. It was called “Nazar”. When the parents had a promise for something and it was

danced through the traditional music and they were handled by the spirit. It was scary, but it was

I REFLECTION
 At the end of this chapter, ask yourself the following questions to know how effective your
learning process is.

2.      Do you know the type of language structure that you can use to tell about the past events?
3.      Can you tell or write an event that happened in the past based on the structure of a recount
