Dear Irfan,
I am very glad to write this letter to you. How is your school? Here in Sleman, we are preparing
for the Independence Day celebrations. So everybody is very busy.
First, we are going to have some sports competition. There will be soccer, volleyball and a tug of
war competition. The winning team will receive a big goat as a prize. I'm going to play in the
football and volleyball competitions.
Then, we are going to have a Wayang show on the night before the Independence Day. The
dalang is a famous one from Yogyakarta. He will perform all night long. Have you ever seen a
Wayang show? It is very entertaining.
Finally, I'm going to attend a flag raising ceremony at school on Independence Day. After that,
we will give out prizes to the competition winners.
What are your plans for the Independence Day celebrations? Please write back and tell me.
Best regards,
Joko
Do you know that a giraffe may grow more than six meters tall? Yes, the giraffe is a very
tall animal. In fact, it is the tallest animal in the world.
A giraffe has a very long neck. Unfortunately, the giraffe cannot bend its neck easily.
Thus, when it wants to drink water at a pool, the giraffe has to spread its front legs apart, so it
can reach the water.
A giraffe feeds on plant only. Hence, it can reach the leaves on trees easily because of its
height. Also, a giraffe has a very long tongue — about 0.5 metres long. The giraffe uses this long
tongue skillfully to pick leaves off plants and trees.
This tall animal can protect itself very well. It has a very good sense of smell and sight. It
can hear very well, too. It can also gallop very fast —at a speed of 50 km.p.h.
The giraffe's hind legs and long neck are also very useful. For example, a giraffe can kick
its enemy with its hind legs or even hit out with its long neck.

Dear Sabrina,
Please let me express my deepest sympathies to you and the children. I was shocked and
shattered when I heard about Frank's horrific accident. I can't even imagine what you have
been going through for the past ten days.
As you know, Frank and I have been colleagues and friends for the past eight years. His
tragic loss leaves a terrible void in our office. He was so well-liked and respected by everyone
who came into contact with him, both colleagues and clients alike. He had tremendous people
skills, and as such, was a role model in our company and the industry at large.
Sabrina, please feel free to contact me if I can help in any way while you go through this
very difficult period. I will support you in any way that I can should you reach out to me.
Also, please tell the children how terribly devastated all of us are here at the company due to
their Father's tragic passing.
Sincere sympathy,
Darlene Francis
