Text 1 (for questions 1 to 3)
I have got an unforgettable experience last
Lebaran Day. My family and I went to my mother’s hometown to celebrate “Idul
Fitri”. We went by aeroplane. At the airport, my family and I had to walk
through the metal detector. When I got the turn to walk through it, suddenly
the alarm beeped. The woman who worked as the airport security said, “Come
here, you need to get your belt off”. I took my belt off, but the alarm still
beeped. The security asked me to take my wallet from my pocket. I did what she
ordered. Still alarm beeped.
After that the security asked me to turn back
and she checked my body. She touched my left pocket. Then she told me, “There
was something in it. it might be the things that made the alarm beeped”. I took
out something from the left pocket. The woman laughed and said, “That has made
the alarm beep”. It was a silver pen. I felt embarrassed because everybody
stared at me with curiosity.

Last
Sunday, I was gardening with my father. It was half past six in the morning.
The air was really fresh. My dad called me from the yard. He said something
about ‘banana’. I walked to where he stood looking at one of my banana tress. I
saw som of them are already yellow. What a great view!

we were busy to harvest the bananas it was my first time to do this. We just
moved to this new house for about six months. Here, we have some yard besides

collected the old leaves and realized that the yard looked nicer and cleaner

Text 3 (for questions 7 to 9)
Last holiday, I was in Mexico City with my
Dad. It was a fascinating place and the people were friendly. The most amazing
thing happened to me when I was looking for the Paseo de la Reforma. It is a
street with beautiful trees, plants and statues. I was nearly lost and studying
my map when I saw a man with colourful and unusual clothes in front of the
cathedral. So I asked him, “Can you tell me where the Paseo de la Reforma is?”
he smiled and answered, “It is only two blocks away from here.”
I thought I took the wrong street because I
didn’t find the Paseo de la Reforma. Just when I was thinking about going back
to my hotel, the man appeared again and showed me the way. As I was walking
down the street, I saw the statue of Cuauhtemoc, the last Aztec leader. I was
going to take the photo of it when I realized something unusual. The statue
looked exactly like the man I saw in front of the cathedral! He was wearing the
same clothes. Even his grin was similar.

this race competing against several I other schools. The entire race was long
and dreadful. It took place in the desert so it was realy hot and humid. We ran
