Example Describing Places
Text I

I live in a village called Amed in Bali, about a two hour drive from Kuta. It is a beach village and one of the best
places for scuba diving in Bali. To reach my village, you will need a lot of energy because it is an exhausting trip.
The road is curved and there are many ups and downs too. But as soon as you arrive in Amed, your efforts will be
paid by the beauty of my village.
Unlike other places in Bali, Amed is a calm and peaceful place. The bay, some sandy, others rocky appears to be
lined with traditional fishing boats called jukung. From the top of the hill, people can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
There are no factories or industries in Amed, so the water and the soil in my village are still clean and unpolluted.
This is needed to produce salt by the people in the village.

Jeju-do, Korea, the Island of the Gods

Jeju Island or also known as Jeju-do (a short form of Jeju Special Autonomous Province) is the only special
autonomous province of South Korea and the countrys largest island. Its situated southwest of Jeollanam-do
Province in the Korea Strait, a sea passage between South Korea and Japan. Although the island isnt a famous
destination for the western people, the Asians are very familiar with its amazing geographic and cultural potential.
In the last few years, its popularity has grown, especially for the young couples which seem to consider the island
a mystic and romantic place. In time, it became one of the most visited places in East Asia, with more than four
million visitors from mainland Korea, Japan, and China every year.
Jeju Island is a volcanic island created entirely from volcanic eruptions approximately 2 million years ago
and is dominated by Halla-san (Halla Mountain): a volcano 1,950 meters high and the highest mountain in South
Korea.
Because of the relative isolation, the people of Jeju have developed a culture and language that are different
from those of mainland Korea, with many local legends and mystic beliefs. They even named it the Island of the
Gods, taking after a legend that tells the story of demi-gods that lived on the island, considered to be the
progenitors of Jeju people. Distinct cultural artifacts and stones with different shapes that are considered
protective for the locals can be found here.
With a huge variety of landscapes, from long beaches to mountains and waterfalls, Jeju Island could turn
out to be a thrilling experience. Cheonjeyeon and Cheonjiyeon waterfalls, Mount Halla, Hyeobje cave and
Hyeongje island are just some of the popular sights on the island.
Depending on the season, Jeju hosts unsual festivals such as a penguin swimming contest in winter, a
cherry blossom festival in spring, the midsummer night beach festival in summer and Jeju horse festival in
autumn. Aside from these events, many activities can be done in Jeju such as horse riding, hunting, fishing,
mountain climbing, hiking.

Holiday in Santolo Beach

When Idul Fitri holiday, after visiting my parent at Pameungpeuk, Garut, I and my family went to Santolo
Beach to refresh our mind after the long time of work. It's rarely to take a vacation because I'm very busy.
The way to Santolo beach is quite good, and the view is really beautiful. On our left and right is full of rice
fields and many coconut trees along the way. But when we nearly arrived, there was a long traffic jam so we
hardly to get in into the beach. I guess this was because of the Idul Fitri holiday, so people want to go to beach
too. Then we just take a walk to the beach because it was not far. Fortunately the weather was not too hot on that
day.
After we arrived, the beach was so crowded. But we still enjoyed the time by took pictures, swimming,
playing sand, and go around the beach by boat. We stay overnight in the inn that we have rent before.
We got up so early in the morning that we could enjoy sunrise landscape at the beach. My cousin playing
with white sand and I took a picture of him. A day at Santolo beach felt so short, we were quite tired for playing a
whole day, but we were very happy.

Along the ascent, we told about funny story, sang and sometimes stopped our weakness. Around 6 , we
stopped to give change everyone to do the maghrib pray. At 7 We continued climbing until 9 night. Finally we got
the top of the mountain, we prepared to set the tent, for girl prepared the dinner. After finishing all, we went bed.
Next day, we woke up earlier at 4 a.m, it meant to see the sun rise, we were so amazed to see it directly
through the mountain. While enjoying the sun rise view, the girls prepared the breakfast and the boys made the
out bond games for us. Around 8, we finished having breakfast and continued having games. There were moving

In the Swimming Pool

Yesterday I went to the swimming pool with my friends. I brought my bag which is full by the things I need in the
swimming pool. When we arrive there, I changed my clothes into swimsuit then I do a little warming up before
get into the pool. I used sunscreen to prevent sun light burn my skin, because this is such a hot day. In the middle
of the time when swimming, I feel hungry, then I wore my bathing suit and ate my foods that I brought from
home. After that I went swimming again until I have done in having fun. After swimming I put on again my
bathing suit and go to the bathroom to rinse my body. I use shampoo to clean my hair and soap to clean my body.
After that I used towel for dry my hair and I comb my hair. I wear my clothes and put all the wet clothes ito the
plastic bag, so my bag would not get wet by water. Finally I went home with my friends again happily.

Visiting My Village

Last month, I and my family went to Banyumas which was located in Central Java, Indonesia. We drove a car. I
enjoyed the journey all day long although it took 2 days to get there. We were fun, my brother made some jokes
all day. My father told us some stories on the way. My mother slept on the back seat.

My first day in my village, I visited my siblings and friends. We are welcomed by happiness. When I saw
my parents, they cried because they looked so happy to meet up their families. The next day, I, my brother, my
cousin and my nephew went to a popular place in Purwokerto. It was called Baturaden. That was a favorite spot
in Purwokerto. We enjoyed local specialty food as culinary. I was satisfied and so were they. Next, I took a photo
with traditional music musicians.

My brother, my cousin and my nephew enjoy the view with other visitors. They took a photo with their
style like I did. In the evening, we were back home. And did other private activities, such as made a conversation,
told the story and made a joke.

The day after tomorrow, my cousin had a ceremony to say thanks to God for blessing their son. It was
called Nazar. When the parents had a promise for something and it was realized. They had to make a traditional
ceremony. I watched that traditional ceremony and took their photograph.

For the last show, we were entertained by Ebeg. It was traditional art. The player danced through the
traditional music and they were handled by the spirit. It was scary, but it was fun and entertain.

Time run so fast because the next day was our last day in the village. So I took the last photo to bring it
home. They were my family and still family until the last breath in this world.

Finally, we had to go home and brought a love experience from family. Yaps that was the hardest part.
