I had a funny experience when I had to catch a train for a meeting. I have never been traveled on train before. I took an early morning train to where I had to meet my professor. At the station I read a sign “For Oakliegh Station, Please Board Four Rear Cars Only”. Then I boarded the rain but did not notice the position of my carriage. When I got to my destination, the train door was locked. It could not be opened. I panicked and forced it to open. I thought there must be something wrong. There was no platform. So I jumped off the train lines and had to cross the railway lines to reach the platform. A fast train came from the other direction. I was so shocked. After I met my professor, I told him the story. He explained, if the sign says please board four rear cars only, it means that the train only has a short platform. I realized that I was so stupid but I was so lucky that morning.

Why did the writer panic on the train when he got to his destination?

                To reach the waterfall location, we should go on foot, after having a three-hour trip on a motorcycle from Bandarlampung, the capital city of Lampung. When we arrived there, I was amazed by the beautiful scenery of the waterfall. The water was so clean and fresh at that time and I could not bear to jump into it immediately. It was quite windy there and all I could see only green, green, and green. Hearing the sound of falling water while swimming made me feel peaceful and relaxed.

                Finally, the day was getting dark and it was time for us to go home. It was such an unforgettable experience for me that I really enjoyed.

Dear Mira,

Hi, How are you there? I hope you are fine as usual. Mira, I am writing to tell you my experiences as a voluntary worker in school. We cleaned the area around our school, mowed the grass and bushes behind our classroom and repainted walls.

As the chairman of the students organization (OSIS), together with our committee members, we planned and discussed the right time to do this voluntary work. After a long discussion, finally we agreed to hold It last Saturday.

On that day, fortunately we did not have to study as we had just finished our final examination. So, while waiting for our teachers who were busy writing our ‘report book’ and with the help of Pak Bejo we did it. We were having a good time because we could play while we were working. I wished you could join us at that time.

What about you? How do you spend your free time at school? How’s your Karate group at school? I hope to hear from you, write me soon, Thanks.

Best Wishes,

Seno
