We moved past. My arms were aching. My whole body was sore but we all rowed harder.

The first boat was just in front  I saw a dark shadow near the boat. I looked again. What was it? I was sure  it was the shape of a cigar. ‘Oh my  God’,  I thought, ‘I must be seeing things. A shark in Parramata River? Impossible!’

Just then I pulled my oar out of the water. ‘Oh no, why only half?’ I thought. Then I knew. I shouted to my team, ‘Shark! Shark!’ and suddenly we forgot the race. We rowed faster than ever back to shore. We made it. Phew, we were safe!

            Next he ordered his men to make a fake pearl and a large kite. He waited until the dragon left his cave. Then he placed the fake pearl in a bag, slung it across his shoulder and flew up to the mountain-top on the kite. He exchanged the real pearl for the fake one and then his brother pulled his kite back to the ground.

            The brothers quickly returned to their ships and set sail for China. They sailed safely home. The emperor was thrilled with the pearl and gave a big party to celebrate his sons’ return.

CREATION OF MOUNT BROMO
This is a legend about the creation of Mount Bromo, a famous volcano in East Java.
During the reign of the last king of Majapahit (in the 13th century), Brawijaya, one of the King's wives gave birth to a girl, Roro Anteng. Later she got married to a priest named Joko Seger. Because of an unfortunate situation, they were forced to leave the kingdom. They settled an area in the mountain named Tengger.

They were unhappy because they didn't have a child. They climbed the peak of the mountain and prayed to the gods. Betara Bromo -- god of fire, promised them many children. A stipulation was that they would have to sacrifice their youngest child. They finally had twenty-five children. They were instructed to sacrifice the youngest, Kesuma, but instead they hid him. An eruption occurred and Kesuma fell into the crater. His voice was heard saying, "I have to be sacrificed so that you will all live. From now on you should arrange an annual ceremony on the 14th of Kesodo."

Kesuma's brothers and sisters held the offering ceremony every year by offering fruits, vegetables, rice and meats. This ceremony is still held today by Kejawen sects (an original Javanese religion).
The Tiger and The Mouse

One day, a tiger went out looking for something to eat.  He found a mouse going in the same direction, so the tiger caught the mouse and said to him, "you look very good to eat, but  I am very sorry that you are so small.  If I eat you, you will not even be enough for one mouthful."

  When he heard that from the tiger, the mouse was very happy, and he asked the tiger, "Ha Nya Sua, I am a small animal.  If you eat me, I am not enough for you to get full.  Please let me go."

  The tiger thought and thought and finally, he said to the mouse, "There are only two ways to handle you: one way is to eat you; the other is to release you."

  The mouse pleaded again with the tiger to please let him go.  The tiger thought and thought, and finally he let the mouse go.

    The next day, the tiger went out again and had very bad luck.  He was caught in a prepared trap.  Now, the mouse, who the tiger caught the day before, passed by and saw the tiger caught in the big net, he asked, "Tiger, what happened to you?"

   The tiger looked up at the mouse and remembered that it was the same mouse he had caught and released the day before.  The tiger wanted to ask the mouse to help him, but he thought to himself, "I am the big king of the jungle.  If I ask him for help, I will lose face.  If  I don't ask him to help, I will die soon.  I want to ask him to help me, but I may lose face having such a little animal save my life.  On the other hand, isn't it better to lose my face in front of him than to die?"  Finally, the tiger asked the mouse to please help him out of his trouble.

   The mouse hearing the tiger asking him for help thought, "Before, he wanted to eat me, and he was in control, but now I am in control.  I don't want to eat the tiger; I want to help him now."  So, the small mouse showed mercy and kindness toward the tiger.  He ran quickly to tell all his friends to come and help cut the ropes of the big net holding the tiger.  

  So, the tiger was freed from the trap.  He said first to the mouse and then to all his friends, "Thank you.  Thank you."

   Finally, the mouse said to the tiger, "If you had eaten me before, I would have hoped that no one would release you from the trap."  The tiger was very humble, and he said to the mouse that he would always be grateful and never forget his help.

One day, a poor man wearing torn clothes walked past a rich man's house.  The rich man picked up a rock and threw it at the poor man's head.  The poor man couldn't say anything to the rich man.  He just picked up the rock the rich man had just thrown at him and put it in his pocket.  He thought that one day he would throw the rock back at the rich man. 

   Not very long after that, the rich man spent all of his money; he sold all of his treasure, and he became a poor man, poorer than the other poor man.

   One day, the rich man wore torn clothing and walked past the poor man's house.  So, the poor man ran quickly into his house to get the rock the rich man had thrown at him before.  He planned to throw it back at the rich man, but he thought to himself, "That rich man, he is now much poorer than I am.  So, I will let him go.  I don't have to throw the rock back at him.   If I did, many villagers would say that I am not a good person."

     

  

 The Boy who cried “Wolf”<br>

There was once a shepherd-boy who kept his flock at a little distance from the village. Once he thought he would play a trick on the villagers and have some fun at their expense. So he ran toward the village crying out, with all his might,-- <br>

"Wolf! Wolf! Come and help! The wolves are at my lambs!" <br>

The kind villagers left their work and ran to the field to help him. But when they got there the boy laughed at them for their pains; there was no wolf there. <br>

Still another day the boy tried the same trick, and the villagers came running to help and got laughed at again. Then one day a wolf did break into the fold and began killing the lambs. In great fright, the boy ran for help. "Wolf! Wolf!" he screamed. "There is a wolf in the flock! Help!" <br>

The villagers heard him, but they thought it was another mean trick; no one paid the least attention, or went near him. And the shepherd-boy lost all his sheep. <br>

Moral value: <br>

That is the kind of thing that happens to people who lie: even when they tell the truth no one believes them.

Cinderella

Once upon a time there was a man who had three daughters. He was once ordered to go away to work, and said the them, "Since I am about making a journey, what do you want me to bring you when I return?"

One asked for a handsome dress; the other, a fine hat and a beautiful shawl. He said to the youngest, "And you, Cinderella, what do you want?" They called her Cinderella because she always sat in the chimney corner.

"You must buy me a little bird Verdeliò."

"The simpleton! She does not know what to do with the bird! Instead of ordering a handsome dress, a fine shawl, she takes a bird. Who knows what she will do with it!"

"Silence!" she says. "It pleases me."

The father went, and on his return brought the dress, hat, and shawl for the two sisters, and the little bird for Cinderella.

The father was employed at the court, and one day the king said to him, "I am going to give three balls; if you want to bring your daughters, do so; they will amuse themselves a little."

"As you wish," he replies, "thanks!" and accepts.

He went home and said, "What do you think, girls? His majesty wishes you to attend his ball."

"There, you see, Cinderella, if you had only asked for a handsome dress! This evening we are going to the ball."

She replied, "It matters nothing to me! You go; I am not coming."

In the evening, when the time came, they adorned themselves, saying to Cinderella, "Come along, there will be room for you, too."

"I don't want to go; you go; I don't want to."

"But," said their father, "let us go, let us go! Dress and come along; let her stay."

When they had gone, she went to the bird and said, "O Bird Verdeliò, make me more beautiful than I am!"

She became clothed in a sea green dress, with so many diamonds that it blinded you to behold her. The bird made ready two purses of money, and said to her, "Take these two purses, enter your carriage, and away!"

Salatiga, 1st Nov 12008 Dear Wati, Hi! How are you? I haven't contacted you for a long time. I miss you so much. Now, I'll tell you about my experiences in visiting Ketep Pass.Ketep Pass is located in Magelang Regency. It offers the view of high lands. I went there with my friends a week ago. I left Salatiga at 1.00 p.m. On my way to Ketep Pass I enjoyed the view of cocoa plantation and the beauty of the landscape.After three hours, I arrived there. Unfortunately it was foggy. I was very disappointed. I couldn't see the beautiful view of the highland, so I decided to enter the museum of Merapi Volcano. There are many pictures of Merapi eruption. After watching them I continued to see the Merapi eruption film. The film was so good that I like it very much. I have never seen it before.I am so happy because I've got a lot of new experience.That's all. Please, tell me something about your last experience.                                        Yours,                                           Rosa

The importance of Reading

 

I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life.  Why do I say so?  Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books, magazine, newspaper, etc.

Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in any parts of the world which can we see directly.

Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too.  When we are tired, we read books, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment coloumn such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed.

The last, reading can also take us to other parts of the world.  By reading a book about Irian Jaya we may feel we’re  really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.

From the facts above, it’s obvious that everyone needs to read to get knowledge, information and also entertainment.  Or in summary we can say reading is truly important in our life.

 

Learning English

Learning English through music and songs can be very enjoyable. You can mix pleasure with learning when you listen to a song and exploit the song as a means to your English progress. Some underlying reason can be drawn to support the idea why we use songs in language learning.

Firstly, “the song stuck in my head” Phenomenon (the echoing in our minds of the last song we heard after leaving a restaurant, shopping malls, etc) can be both enjoyable and sometimes unnerving. This phenomenon also seems to reinforce the idea that songs work on our short-and-long term memory.

Secondly, songs in general also use simple conversational language, with a lot of repetition, which is just what many learners look for sample text. The fact that they are effective makes them many times more motivating than other text. Although usually simple, some songs can be quite complex syntactically, lexically and poetically, and can be analyzed in the same way as any other literary sample.  

Furthermore, song can be appropriated by listener for their own purpose. Most pop songs and probably many other types don’t have precise people, place or time reference.

In addition, songs are relaxing. They provide variety and fun, and encourage harmony within oneself and within one group. Little wonder they are important tools in sustaining culture, religion, patriotism and yeas, even revolution.

Last but not least, there are many learning activities we can do with songs such as studying grammar, practicing selective listening comprehension, translating songs, learning vocabulary, spelling and culture.

From the elaboration above, it can be concluded that learning through music and songs, learning English can be enjoyable and fun.

Fax MachineFax, the short term for facsimile is a telecommunications technology used to transfer copies (facsimiles) of documents, especially using affordable devices operating over the telephone network. The word telefax, short for telefacsimile, for "make a copy at a distance", is also used as a synonym. The device is also known as a telecopier in certain industries. When sending documents to people at large distances, faxes have a distinct advantage over postal mail in that the delivery is nearly instantenous, yet its disadvantages in quality and its proprietary format have relegated it to a position beneath email as the prevailing form of electronic document tranferral.NARRATIVE

It was a warm day in March. I was very excited. The day had finally come. I was in the rowing team for the Olympics. I got up very early and exercised as always. Then after breakfast I drove to Drummoyne. My team arrived and at last it was time to start.Ready, set and the starting gun went off. We began in the third position and were slowly moving closer. There they were. We could see the second boat and then we did it.We moved past. My arms were aching. My whole body was sore but we all rowed harder.The first boat was just in front  I saw a dark shadow near the boat. I looked again. What was it? I was sure  it was the shape of a cigar. ‘Oh my  God’,  I thought, ‘I must be seeing things. A shark in Parramata River? Impossible!’Just then I pulled my oar out of the water. ‘Oh no, why only half?’ I thought. Then I knew. I shouted to my team, ‘Shark! Shark!’ and suddenly we forgot the race. We rowed faster than ever back to shore. We made it. Phew, we were safe!DESCRIPTIVE

The Ambarawa Train Museum houses 21 antique locomotives plus two more, which are stored in the depot. These locomotives are no longer produced; even the factories that made them no longer exist. The main building of this museum is the defunct Ambarawa railway station which was built in 1873. the station covers 127,500 m2.The oldest in this museum is a locomotive made by Hartman Chemnitz. This locomotive, with a length of 8.58 m and a width of 2.45 m, began its operation in 1891. Using wood as fuel, the steam locomotive could run 50 km/h – its maximum speed.A special part of a visit to this museum is a trip by train from the Ambarawa Train Museum to the defunct Bedono train station. This package tour is called Railway Mountain Tour. Why is the trip so special? Because the participants will board an antique train and the train will travel on a 4.9 kilometer-cog railway, which is the only one in the world. NARRATIVE

Contoh: Long ago on the top of Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, there lived a dragon. He owned a large and beautiful pearl. People believed that he controlled the weather with it.            The emperor of China heard this and wanted the pearl. He sent his two sons, Wee Ping and Wee San to Borneo to steal it. The princes, together with one hundred soldiers, set sail for Borneo in twelve sailing junks.            When they arrived in Borneo, The set out immediately to find the famous mountain. Their journey up the rugged slopes of Mount Kinabalu proved very difficult. The dragon guarded his cave very fiercely and killed many of their soldiers.            Then Wee San had a clever idea. He climbed a tall tree, so he could see the dragon’s cave. He noted what time the dragon left his cave to hunt for food and what time he returned  to it.            Next he ordered his men to make a fake pearl and a large kite. He waited until the dragon left his cave. Then he placed the fake pearl in a bag, slung it across his shoulder and flew up to the mountain-top on the kite. He exchanged the real pearl for the fake one and then his brother pulled his kite back to the ground.            The brothers quickly returned to their ships and set sail for China. They sailed safely home. The emperor was thrilled with the pearl and gave a big party to celebrate his sons’ return.
