Dear Icha,
How’s life? Thanks
for the letter telling about your holiday activities. Here, I want to tell you about mine.
Last holiday, my
family and I went to the beach. We wanted to release the baby sea turtles
from the Goa Cemara shore.
Goa Cemara is
located in Bantul, Yogyakarta. The walk to the beach was pretty far, but very
shady. It felt like we were in the Twilight movie scenes, a great for photo shoots! We adopted
5 baby turtles. Each turtle cost 10,000 rupiahs. The baby turtles were just
hatched. They were so cute. I chose my turtle and named it Anjo. My sister Fia also chose one and
named it Wora. Anjo and friends were very skittish in the box, and then right
when we set them in the sand, they immediately got still. They did not make any movements.
We entered Anjo in the race. We were told by our guide that
before the race began, we should face the little babies south so that when
they came out to shore at night, they would remember which way to go. Cool,
isn't it? And the race began. I could see how energetic they were. What I
noticed was that when they hit the water and were pushed back by the waves,
the turtles ran faster as if knowing what was ahead of them. They were just about to get swept away by the ocean.
It was my unforgettable experience with the baby sea turtles.
Best
wishes,
Swastika

Dear Diana,
How are you? Hope
everything went well with you there. As you know I’ve been studying in
Sydney for three months, and I started to feel more accustomed to everything
I face here. I know this is my best decision I ever made: I learnt a lot,
met so much friendly people, and had a great time! I learned a lot
especially about different cultures, ways of living and of course about
myself.
If you have the opportunity
to study abroad, I would highly recommend it. If you have the opportunity, get out of
your comfort zone and step into your next adventure!
Love,
Gani

Dear Sulaiman,
I feel bad to tell you this,
but I need to let you know that that your scout leader application has been
denied. We currently need somebody who is strong enough to carry out our
program. Upon reviewing your experience, we consider that you would likely be
unable to take that responsibility.
Needless to say, I feel very
badly about this situation. As your achievement is in science competition, I
suggest that you join the science club instead.
Thanks for understanding,
Sukarman

It happened
one weekend while I was at the fairground. I was with my friend Sarah and we
were both really excited. The flashing lights and bright colours made
everything appear magical. We were having a great time and we had been on
most of the rides when Sarah pointed to the big wheel. The sign said “$1 for a two-minute ride”.
At first I
wasn’t sure, but Sarah had been on it before. “It only takes two minutes,”
she said. “Come on- it’s a really thrilling ride!” A minute later we were in
the air. It was like flying! “This is a mazing!” I shouted happily to Sarah.
Then
suddenly, there was a loud crash and everything stopped. I was really
frightened! Sarah held my hand tightly because she was worried, too. We
looked down and saw two mechanics. “Don’t worry,” they shouted. “It won’t
take us long to fix it!” So we waited…and waited! At first we were amused.
Everyone was running around below us. After a while though, it became scary
up there.
Two hours later, the wheel finally started to move again. I was so
happy. It had been a long tiring evening. That two-minute ride had turned
into a two-hour nightmare! (Reading and Writing Targets

Dear Karen,
I was so sad to hear the news of
Jack’s passing five days ago.
I had the privilege of
working with Jack for quite a few years. He was full of enthusiasm and good
humor, and although that was many months ago now, I will always remember
those happy times.
My sincerest commiserations are
extended to you Karen. I realize that words are quite useless at this time,
but I am sure that when the numbness has passed, you will be able to reflect
and look back on the many positive features of Jack’s life. He made so many
friends and his warmth and sense of humor brightened many a cold dark
winter’s evening for them.
I know that he will be greatly missed
by all that knew him.
Your cousin,
Chris
