Meeting a Star
On Saturday morning at 9:30, I was walking down Sunda Street, looking for a record
store. A man stopped me and asked me the way to the Hyatt Hotel. I wasn't sure exactly where it
was, but I walked with him to the end of Sunda Street. He was very friendly, and his face looked
so familiar. Then I remembered where the Hyatt was and told him how to get there. He thanked
me and tried to give me something. I thought it was money. I said 'no' at first, but he really
wanted me to have it, so I took it.
I found the record store and listened to a few records. D' Massive had a new record that
was number two in the top twenty. I decided to buy it. I looked in my bag for my wallet and
found a piece of paper the man gave me. It was a photo. I was so surprised! He was the vocalist
of the Massive band.

Camping

Last weekend, my friends and I went camping. We reached the camping ground after we
walked for about one and a half hour from the parking lot. We built the camp next to a small
river. It was getting darker and colder, so we built a fire camp.
The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while the girls were
preparing meals. In the afternoon we went to the river and caught some fish for supper. At night,
we held a fire camp night. We sang, danced, read poetry, played magic tricks, and even some of
us performed a standing comedy.
On Monday, we packed our bags and got ready to go home.
