I’ve read your poem in Junior Mag this week. The title is ‘The Dead Tree’ Great! It’s really a good poem. The poem inspires me. Our body may be like the leaves. They will fall down to the ground, but our soul will be still alive. Our soul may be tired. You say it is waiting in agony. But, it still gives us beauty.

The place where they were fighting was a mess. People then always talked about the fight between Sura and Baya. They then named the place of the fight as Surabaya, it’s from Sura the shark and Baya the crocodile.
On one hot day, Sura and Baya were looking for some food. Suddenly, Baya saw a goat. “Yummy, this is my lunch,” said Baya. “No way! This is my lunch. You are greedy! I have not eaten for two days!” said Sura. Then Sura and Baya fought as usual. After several hours, they were very tired. Sura had a plan to stop their bad habit. “I’m tired of fighting, Baya,” said Sura. “Me too. What should we do to stop fighting? Do you have any idea?” asked Baya. “Yes, I do. Let’s share our territory. I live in the water, so I look for food in the sea.
A long time ago in East Java there were two strong animals, Sura and Baya. Sura was a shark and Baya was a crocodile. They lived in a sea. Actually, they were friends. But when they were hungry, they were very greedy.
And you live on the land, right? So, you look for the food also on the land. The border is the beach, so we will never meet again. Do you agree?” asked Sura. “Hmm... let me think about it. OK, I agree. From now on, I will never go to the sea again. My place is on the land,” said Baya. Then they both lived in the different places.
But one day, Sura went to the land and looked for some food in the river. He was very hungry and there was not much food in the sea. Baya was very angry when he knew that Sura broke the promise. “Hey, what are you doing here? This is my place. Your place is in the sea!” “But, there is water in the river, right? So, this is also my place!” said Sura. Then Sura and Baya fought again. They both hit each other.

Earthquake
Earthquake is a sudden shaking of the earth's surface that often causes a lot of damage. It is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes may happen naturally or as a result of human activities. Smaller earthquakes can also be caused by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments.
At the Earth's surface, earthquakes can be seen from the shaking or displacement of the ground. Sometimes, they cause tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and damage of property. There are two types of earthquake that occurs naturally, they are tectonic and volcanic earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes are earthquakes that are caused by tectonic plates getting stuck and putting a strain on the ground. The strain becomes so great that rocks give way by breaking and sliding along fault planes. Volcanic
earthquakes are earthquakes which are caused by the movement of magma in volcanoes. In volcanic regions earthquakes may be caused both by tectonic faults and by the
movement of magma in volcanoes. Such earthquakes can be an early warning of volcanic eruptions
The size of an earthquake is usually reported using the Richter scale or a related
Moment scale. Earthquakes which are 3 on the Richter scale or lower are hard to notice. Whereas, those which are 7 on the Richter scale causes serious damage over large areas.

Dear Mom and dad,
Last week my school held the celebration of the Mother’s Day. We had a speech contest, a singing contest and playing drama, and the cooking contest. We did them in three days.
On the first day the school held a speech contest. It was the English speech contest. Each class had to send two participants. I participated the contest, because nobody was ready to have a speech in English. They said that it was difficult to speak in English. In the contest I talked about the role of mother in national development. It was a good topic to discuss. I hope I can win the contest.
On the second day we had a singing contest and playing drama. Our class sent two singers, Rizqi and Helena. They sang some songs to celebrate the Mother’s day. We also participated the drama contest. We performed the Struggle of Kartini. We hoped we can win the drama contest.
The last activity was the cooking contest, and we had the activity on the third day. This contest was especially for boys. Our class also sent a group of boys to participate the contest. They worked in group to prepare special menu on mother’s day. Our class prepared special cake for mother. We also hope we can win the contest.
The celebration of the Mother’s day this year was really fun. All students participated the activities. We will have similar programs next year.
Love,

ON THE HOP
Do you know the typical animal of Australia? It’s kangaroo. Yes, everybody sees. But, do you know the first kangaroos? They differ from the kangaroos we see today. Unlike the present kangaroos, the first kangaroos lived in the rainforests. They ate insects, and they were about the size of large rats. They developed from a type of possum that came down from the trees to search for food on the forest floor. Today the musky kangaroos or the smallest kangaroos still have things in common with the ancient possum. For example, they still have big toes.
There are many types of small types of kangaroos in Australia, even though people have only seen the big ones. A lot of the smaller kangaroo species, such as bettongs, are in danger of extinction because sheep, cattle and rabbits eat their food and the tall grasses. In fact, the tall grasses are the shelter of the small kangaroos from their predators like foxes and feral cats.
What about the big types of kangaroos? These kangaroos are in no danger of extinction. They have been helped by farming. They can live in the drier parts of the country, and they love the nice short grass that grazing cattle leave behind.
What is specific about kangaroos? It is their hop. The kangaroo hop is a very unusual way for a large animal to move. If you try to hop up the street in the same way, you will get tired very quickly. There are a couple of reasons why kangaroos do not get tired, even when they hop as fast as 65 km/hour; Firstly, they have powerful hind legs to store a lot of energy. Secondly, when they hop, their innards flop to and fro, pumping air in and out of their lungs and saving their muscles a lot of work.
Besides the hop, kangaroos are different from the other animals because they are marsupials. Like koala and wombats, kangaroos rear their young in a pouch. In good conditions, the females of some kangaroos are almost always pregnant. A day or two after joeys are born, she mates again.
A female kangaroo can produce milk from different teats for the older and the younger joeys. And when there’s a bad drought the kangaroos stop breeding until the rains come and they have enough food supply.
