My Most Unforgettable Holiday

In 2015, I went to Derawan Island with my friends and that marks my
most memorable holiday ever!
In June, our school was having summer holiday, so we thought to ourselves
that it shouldn't go to waste. We quickly browsed the internet to find a good
holiday destination and after an hour of heated debate, the four of us agreed
to give Derawan Island a try. It was purely out of curiosity as none of us had
been there before.
We arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 05.30 a.m. as the flight
was at 07.00 a.m. First, we flew to Balikpapan and waited for about an hour to
continue the flight to Berau. As soon as we touched down in Berau, my friend
called the tour agent that we had contacted earlier in Jakarta. They had got a
car ready to take us to Labuan Batu. From Labuan Batu, we took a speedboat
for about an hour to Derawan Island. It was such a long trip to Derawan but it
all paid off as soon as we saw how beautiful the island was.
My friends and I were quickly ushered to our rooms in the resort. It was
fantastic! The rooms were in a cottage that was situated right above the sea.
So we only had to step out the terrace to find ourselves out in the open sea!
After unpacking our luggage and washing up, we went to the dining hall to
grab our dinner. The dinner was only simple seafood dishes. The surrounding
totally enhanced the dining experience, making the food taste much better.
The following day, we took a speedboat tour, hopping from one island to
another Our first trip stop was Kakaban Island where we hiked to reach the
lake and swam among stingless jellyfish. The last time I heard, there were
only three places in the world that have stingless jellyfish; two of them in
Indonesia! Isn't that great? The next stop was the Sangalaki Island where we
got to visit sea turtle conservation and took lots of pictures with sea turtle
babies. They were so cute!
Our last stop was the Maratua Island where we were able to feed fish and
see a three-legged sea turtle. The three-legged sea-turtle wasn't born that
way. We were told that it was swimming in the open sea when it was still a
baby then its leg got caught in plastic trash and couldn't grow even when the
sea-turtle reached adulthood. One of the island's guards saw the sea-turtle
and saved it. He also untangled the plastic trash that bound the sea-turtle's
leg but it was too late. Since then, the sea-turtle is kept in a special space next
to the resort in Maratua Island and the guards take turns feeding it to ensure
its survival. This is why we should never litter and endanger other creatures!
After Maratua Island, we headed back to Derawan Island to catch a late
dinner and turned in.
The following morning, we wake up early and ate our breakfast in the
dining room. Then, the driver drove us back to the airport so we could catch a
flight back to Jakarta. We arrived at Jakarta, exhausted but terribly happy! It
was the most unforgettable trip I have ever experienced so far!

This text is for questions 3

"Should we have printed advertisements?" There are many reasons for people to
answer this question. Many people have strong views and feel that ads are nothing
more than useless junk mail, while other people feel it is an important source of
information.
Here are some reasons why we should have advertisements in newspapers and
magazines. One reason is ads give us information about what is available. Looking
at ads we can find out what is on sale and what is new in the market. This is an easy
way of shopping. Another reason is that advertisements promote business. When
shopkeepers compete against each other, they try to sell their goods as cheap as
possible or attract buyers by offering discount. In this case, buyers get the beneficial
effects of this competition. They save their money.
On the other hand, some people argue that ads should not be put in newspapers
and magazines. Firstly, ads cost the shopkeepers a lot of money to print into paper.
Besides, some people don't like finding junk mail in their letter boxes. People may
also find that ads are not very interesting. Ads also influence people to buy items
they don't need and can't really afford. Ads use up a lot of space and a lot of effort
has to be made to make the ads eye-catching.

3. Which of the following is a reason why ads are important to consumers?

a. Ads are only junk mail.
b. Ads cost a lot of money.
c. Ads make things more expensive.
d. Ads make people buy things they don't need.
e. Ads help consumers to know what things are on sale.

This text is for questions 8 to 10 .

Try the following tips

1. Stay out of the sun during peak hours. While these times may vary slightly
depending on the season and where you live. You should be indoors if all possible
between 10:00 and 15:00.
2. Keep covered up. Floppy hats and large umbrellas work well and so do cover-ups.
Long-sleeved cotton shirts are excellent for hiking, cycling etc; see your sports store
for special brands that allow breathing as well as cover-up.
3. Use sunscreen on any exposed areas. An SPF of 45+ is recommended for it allows
even the fairest skinned folks to stay out in the sun for a few hours before
reapplying. Try chopstick on your lips. Follow the instructions on sunscreen
carefully. Always reapply after leaving the water, as it’ll have washed off.
4. Don’t forget hard-to-reach places. Don’t forget to cover the backs of your knees,
back of your neck, elbows and back of your ears (if you have short hair). Feet
should also be included if you are wearing sandals, flip-flops or going bare-foot.
Even these places can hurt a lot with sunburn.
5. Don’t lie in the sun purposefully seeking a tan. This is not only damaging to your
skin but might burn you the first few times you try it at the beginning of the season.
If you want to tan, do it gradually and sensibly, with short exposure and building up
over time.
6. Put a small amount of oil or sunscreen in your hair so you will avoid burning
your scalp. Or cover it with a hat. Some shampoos and hair conditioners contain
SPF protection.
