A Trip to the National Zoo and Aquarium.
Yesterday, my family and I went to the National Zoo and Aquarium to visit
the new Snow Cubs and the other animals.
In the morning, when we got to the Zoo and Aquarium there was a great big
line, so we had to wait awhile to get in.
After we entered the zoo, we went straight to the enclosure for the Snow
Cubs. My brother and I were so excited to see them. They were so cute and
playful.
At lunchtime Dad decided to cook a bbq. He cooked sausages so we could have
sausage sandwiches. Mum forgot the tomato sauce so we had to eat them plain.
In the afternoon, we visited the aquarium. My brother was excited to see the
sharks and the tropical fish. At the end of the day when we left we were
going to go and get ice cream but we decided we were too tired so we drove
straight home.
Perjalanan ke Kebun Binatang dan Aquarium Nasional
Kemarin, keluarga saya pergi ke Kebun Binatang dan Aquarium Nasional untuk
mengunjungi anak-anak harimau salju yang baru dan hewan-hewan lainnya.
Pagi-pagi, ketika kami sampai di Kebun Binatang dan Aquarium, ada antrian
yang panjang sehingga kami harus menunggu sebentar untuk masuk.
Setelah masuk ke kebun binatang, kami langsung pergi ke kandang anak-anak
harimau salju. Saudara laki-laki saya dan saya sangat senang untuk melihat
mereka. Mereka sangat lucu dan bermain-main.
Saat makan siang, ayah memutuskan untuk memanggang barbeque. Dia memanggang
sosis sehingga kami bisa membuat sandwich sosis. Ibuku lupa membawa saus
tomat sehingga kami harus makan sandwich dengan sosis saja.
Pada sore hari, kami mengunjungi akuarium. Saudara laki-laki saya sangat
senang melihat hiu dan ikan tropis. Pada akhir hari ketika kami pulang, kami
ingin membeli es krim tetapi kami memutuskan untuk pulang langsung karena
terlalu lelah.

My first day on a snowboard started well. The bright sunshine made the snow
sparkle.
Being outside in that crisp mountain air was exhilarating.
I liked the look of my board and had a little problem mastering the process
of strapping it.
To do this, I learned to sit off the side of the run, hold both feet in
front of me, lean over, and strap my front in first.
After that, I tried to stand up. I tugged and pulled, and finally wobbled up
to a position that I looked a bit like standing.
In order to get moving, I tried a few tentative hops. This brought on my
first crash of the morning.
During the next twenty minutes, I went almost nowhere and crashed about ten
more times.
After hours of effort, I managed to ride about fifteen feet down the hill. I
could execute a passable turn on my toe edge.

friends, Henry and Steve, went with me. We had a beautiful hotel room in the
Latin Quarter, and it wasn’t even expensive. We had a balcony with a
wonderful view.
We visited many famous tourist places. My favorite was the Louvre, a
well-known museum. I was always interested in art, so that was a special
treat for me. The museum is so huge, you could spend weeks there. Henry got
tired walking around the museum and said “Enough! I need to take a break and
rest.”
We took lots of breaks and sat in cafes along the river Seine. The French
food we ate was delicious. The wines were tasty, too. Steve’s favorite part
of the vacation was the hotel breakfast. He said he would be happy if he
could eat croissants like those forever. We had so much fun that we’re
already talking about our next vacation.

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.
We haven't purchased everything we need to furnish our new place, but we
think we have the basic appliances to make life more comfortable for
now.

The following text is for questions 136 to 139
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.
Finally, the judges announced the winners of the competition. I was
surprised that my painting became the second place. The judges commended
me for my technical skill with colour combinations.

The following text is for questions 148 to 154
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!
