 A Day Visit to Yogyakarta

Last week, I went to Yogyakarta with my family. My father drove the car. My mother sat beside him. My sister and I sat in the back seats.

We woke up early in the morning. My father prepared the car in the garage while mother was preparing food for breakfast and some snack for us. My sister and I packed some clothes. After everything got ready and we had our breakfast, we left the house at six o’clock.

 How to Make Orange Juice

Things you’ll need:

-          Oranges

-          Knife

Steps:  .   

1. Tightly squeeze or roll the orange with the palm of your hand across   

    the table to soften them.

2. Cut The orange in half pieces and remove the seeds.

3. Grip the one half of the orange tightly and squeeze it by hand, 

    using a plain juicer to get the juice out.

                It is best to use an electric orange juicer, as you will get much more juice 

                from the orange and into the glass. 

           4. Scrape the orange with a spoon and add fruit directly to juice

               if you use a hand juicer for more pulp. 

               If you prefer clear juice, pour the juice through a strainer before drinking.

           5. Drink and enjoy a cold glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

My Pets

Identification:

      We have three family pets: a dog, a cat, and a tortoise.

Descriptions:

      The dog’s name is Nero. He is big golden Labrador. He is beautiful. He has big brown eyes and a long tail. He is very friendly dog, but he is sometimes a little stupid. Dogs are expensive to keep but they are fun to play with.
      Our cat is named Martha. She is quite young, but she is not a kitten. She is very pretty. She has black and white fur and green eyes. She’s smart, too and very clean.
      The tortoise’s name is Rocky. He has short, fat legs, a long neck, and a very hard shell. He is also very old and slow. He’s ugly and dirty, but I like him.

Letter

Dear Linda

I hope you know me well enough to realize that I would never have missed your dinner party without a very good reason. As I was leaving for your house I get a phone call informing me that my brother was involved in an accident. He was taken to the emergency room and my only thought at the time was to be with him.

The very good news is that he was not badly hurt and will fully recover

I would much rather have been at your dinner party. I’m sure it was a lovely evening.

I hope to see you again sometime soon

Sincerely

Jeny
