The following text is for questions 13 to 16

My elder sister and I are moving into a new house this weekend, so we decided to do shopping to furnish the place. 

First, we went to an appliance store not too far from our new house, and we bought a refrigerator for the kitchen. You really can't live without one because you have to keep your food cold or frozen so it doesn't spoil. Then, we bought a washing machine to wash and dry our clothes. We don't want to go to a laundromat to do this every week like we used to do when we are in a boarding house. Next, we bought a rice cooker. We certainly need one because it can make life easier. You simply put the rice into the cooker and press the cooking button, then you can do other chores while the cooker is cooking the rice. Finally, we picked up a microwave oven. If we are in a hurry and don't have time to cook, we can place the food in the microwave and heat it up quickly.

The following text is for questions 17 to 20

When I was in 8th grade of junior high school, I participated in a painting contest which took place at the education and culture office in my town. I was competing with other 49 students. The theme of the painting was "Preserving cultural heritages in the global age". Everyone was provided with canvas but no oil paint, brush or palette. We also had only been given 180 minutes to finish our work. 

By the time the contest started, everyone immediately drew sketches on their canvas. I didn't do the same since I was still thinking of what to draw. Then, I finally had an idea and joined the others by drawing a sketch. I decided to paint a street vendor selling traditional crafts while taking a selfie with customers. I think that would be a good representation of the contest theme. 

In the middle of my painting, I realised that I didn't bring my orange paint, to paint a realistic brick colour as the background on my painting. For that, I must mix violet and orange colours. I already made the violet colour by mixing red and blue I panicked. Then, I tried to ask other contestants if they had some spares. One contestant gave me one, but it was almost empty. It wouldn't be enough for my brick background. Then, I remembered that I could get orange from mixing red and yellow. I was so surprised that I could forget such a basic combination. 

The time limit is up. I somehow managed to finish my paint at the last minutes. Then, the judge began to observe every work. When they came to my place, one of the judges asked me what colour I used for my background. I said that I mixed violet and orange to get the brick colour and other combinations for other parts of the background. Then, they left to check other paintings.

The following text is for questions no. 29-35.

My favorite vacation that I can remember was when I visited Bali, Indonesia. I went there when I was 7 years old. It is a beautiful island in Indonesia. It was a long flight to get there from New York, but once we were there, we relaxed on the pure white sands of the beach and enjoyed the rest of our vacation. 

We stayed in a beautiful hotel at the Nusa Dua beach away from the town. The weather was warm and sunny everyday. The hotel had seven lagoons and swimming pools with beautiful blue colored water. They also had a huge waterfall above the swimming pool so I could swim under it. I had a lot of fun splashing water around.

We got a complimentary bowl of fruit in our room everyday. It included an Asian fruit called dragon fruit, which is actually a cactus. Dragon fruit tastes wonderful! It is sweet and crunchy, and tastes like kiwi and pear mixed together. They also served us pears, apples, and plums along with the dragon fruit. Since our guest room was on the first floor, I could walk out to the balcony and dive straight into the lagoon. It was a lot of fun because I could swim while my parents could watch me from the room.

I remember visiting the city of Denpasar, which was half an hour away from our hotel. It was a very beautiful city with lots of green trees and plants. There were a lot of stores selling colorful wooden artwork, which was made by local artists. Balinese people love art so they make different types of art such as paintings, sculptures, and woodcarving. The stores were small shops unlike ot of big supermarkets in America. The people were very friendly, helpful, and courteous. They spoke the local languages, Balinese and Indonesian, which I could not understand, but they also spoke broken English. Bali has one main religion, Balinese Hinduism, which 93.8% of the people follow and other minor religions such as Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam. Ball also has man dances such as the Pendet. which is a religious dance; Legong, which is a dance. for entertainment; Baris, which is a war dance; and Topeng, which is a mask dance.

My vacation to Bali was the best vacation for me because it was unique. I loved the hotel we stayed in and the delicious fruits I ate as well. I hope every one can visit Ball at least once and enjoy it as much as I did!
