DINOSAURS

Dinosaurs were a type of lizards. They lived from about 230 million to about 65 million years ago. In 1842, Sir Richard Owen created the word dinosaur. It came from Greek words deino.s, meaning “terrible” and sauros, meaning “lizard”. Dinosaurs lived on earth for about 140 million years.

During the dinosaurian era, the days were short. The sun was not as hot as it is today. On earth there was only one big continent and one big ocean. The name of the continent was pangea (all lands) and the name of the ocean was panthallassa (all seas).

There were many kinds of dinosaurs. Some of them were very big and some others were small. Some dinosaurs ate leaves and some others ate meat. Some dinosaurs could fly.

What happened to dinosaurs? Dinosaurs became extinct because there was a large comet hitting the earth. The comet caused fire and it killed the trees. Dinosaurs could not eat because there were no trees on earth and finally they died and became extinct.

The weather was very clear. I and my family decided to go camping last holiday. Father prepared the tent and other equipment. Mother prepared the cooking and eating utensils. I took my fishing rod and my brother brought his sport equipment. When everything was ready, we left for the camping site in countryside.

.  There were many campers when we arrived at the camping site. Unfortunately, the good location near the river had been occupied by other campers so we had to look for another place. Finally,, we found a good place little bit further. It was near the big tree. After setting up the tent, my father and I went fishing. We joined other people sitting on the rock near the river.

In the evening, father made a fire. Mother cooked the fish we caught. I could say that it was the best fish I had ever tasted.  Sleeping in the tent was a very wonderful experience. I woke up early in the morning. I felt fresh. Then I accompanied my brother playing ball.

We did a lot of activities, like going to waterfall, fishing, hiking and looking at the beautiful panorama especially in the morning. When the night came, we set a fire and sat around it, and sang together until late at night. After that we came into the tent and fell asleep.

SCOTLAND A lot of people think that Scotland is a part of England but this is untrue. Scotland is, in fact, a part of Great Britain. It is governed from London but in many ways it is a separate nation. It has its own capital city, Edinburgh, its own laws and its own stamps. It even has its own language, Gaelic, spoken now by only a few people on the islands. There are only about five million Scots, and most of them live in the southern half of country called ‘Lowlands’, where the major cities are situated. But most holiday visitors to Scotland go to the Highlands because of the high mountains and deep valleys, clean rivers and cold ‘lochs’. The Highlands are home to many rare birds and animals, like the golden eagle and the wildcat, which are found nowhere else in Britain. It is a lonely, wild and empty land. Only two per cent of the British population live there and the population is getting smaller all the time. There is very little work so most of the young people who are born there have to move south to find a job. Perhaps the Highlands of Scotland will become the last great wilderness of Europe.

After spending one night in Manado I headed off to Bunaken on one of the public boats on Sunday. I had expected something like a ferry but it was actually a wooden boat full of locals and a whole lot of supplies heading to the Island. On the trip over the place I met a French tourist who had been to the Island twice before and said that he knew a nice place to stay and to do some diving. We arrived at the Sea breeze dive centre and were immediately greeted by a local who instantly picked me for an Australian. We worked out. What I thought was a fair deal for room for four days with the diving equipment. Even with a fair price diving was one of the most expensive sports I have undertaken whilst on my travel. Definitely one of the most worthwhile though. Bunaken was a small, quiet island which comprises of a local village and a row of a diving centre offering food, accommodation and diving packages.

There was a couple who lived on the foot of Mount Bromo, Roro Anteng and Joko Seger. After eight years of marriage, they had not had any children. For six years they prayed, appealing gods to give them children. Finally, their prayer was complied on one condition: they would have to sacrifice their youngest son to the Bromo crater. After some time, Roro Anteng gave birth to a child. And it happened every year until they had 25 children. They lived happily and ignored the agreement.

WHAT IS THUNDER?

Thunder sounds like an explosion. Lightning causes thunder. The sound comes from air that suddenly gets very hot.

A bolt of lightning can make the air around it as hot as 18,000° Fahrenheit (10,000° Celsius). That’s hotter than the surface of the Sun! The hot air rushes away from the lightning bolt. The air rushing away makes the loud sound of thunder.

You often hear the thunder after you see a bolt of lightning. This is because sound travels slower than light. The farther away the lightning is, the longer it takes for you to hear the thunder. You can tell how far away the lightning is. You can count the seconds between the lightning and the sound of the thunder it makes. Sound travels about 1 mile (about 1.6 kilometers) every 5 seconds. If you count slowly to 5 and hear thunder, the lightning bolt was about 1 mile away. If you count to 15 before you hear thunder, the lightning bolt was 3 miles away.

34.           Paragraph 2 of the text above tells you about … .

A.       the heat of the sun surface          C. how the thunder happens.

B.        the loud sound of  air                  D. the sun that shines the air.

A.           the light travels faster the sound.          C. the lightening is farther away.

B.            the thunder is very hot to feel.              D. the air rushes to heat the earth.

36.     How many miles away from you is the lightning bolt if you count the sound of thunder at 30 seconds?

A.       7                B. 6                 C. 5.                D.4

I had never been camping before I met my best friend, Jacklyn. I didn’t know that camping meant sleeping out in nature, in a tent. I guess I didn’t really think about it at all. We were off to a nearby campground. We drove in and paid for our site. It was beautiful. There were ducks and a small lake and up on the hill there was a pool and small store if you needed anything. At dusk we lit our fire. It was very nice and pleasant. However I had a small allergy problem with mosquitoes. I hate bugs, and mosquitoes seem to be the worse, due to their stinging and being irritating. It was awful, but the camp fire was nice. Jacklyn told me about her camping stories. They were really interesting.

After a full night of stories and fire, we settled in out the tent. We slept in our sleeping bags on the ground. To my surprise, the ground was not wet, and we had a small air mattress under us. Of course, the mattress wasn’t as comfortable as mine at home but it was no problem.Then in the middle of the night I heard scuffling just out of our tent. I woke Jacklyn and I told her that there was a bear in our camp. She told me to just go back to sleep. I really didn’t know that there were bears in local camp grounds.

There are many kinds of cactus plants, but most grow in deserts and other dry places.

Scotland A lot of people think that Scotland is a part of England but this is untrue. Scotland is, in fact, a part of Great Britain. It is governed from London but in many ways it is a separate nation. It has its own capital city, Edinburgh, its own laws and its own stamps. It even has its own language, Gaelic, spoken now by only a few people in the islands. There are only about five million Scots, and most of them live in the southern half of the country called ‘Lowlands’, where the major cities are situated. But most holiday visitors to Scotland go to the Highlands because of the high mountains and deep valleys, clean rivers and cold ‘lochs’. The Highlands are home to many rare birds and animals, like the golden eagle and the wildcat, which are found nowhere else in Britain. It is a  wild and empty land. Only two per cent of the British population live there and the population is getting smaller all the time. There is very little work so most of the young people who are born there have to move south to find a job. Perhaps the Highlands of Scotland will become the last great wilderness of Europe.
