Dear Icha,

How’s life? Thanks for the letter telling about your holiday activities. Here, I want to tell you about mine.

Last holiday, my family and I went to the beach. We wanted to release the baby sea turtles from the Goa Cemara shore.

Goa Cemara is located in Bantul, Yogyakarta. The walk to the beach was pretty far, but very shady. It felt like we were in the Twilight movie scenes, a great for photo shoots! We adopted 5 baby turtles. Each turtle cost 10,000 rupiahs. The baby turtles were just hatched. They were so cute. I chose my turtle and named it Anjo. My sister Fia also chose one and named it Wora. Anjo and friends were very skittish in the box, and then right when we set them in the sand, they immediately got still. They did not make any movements.

We entered Anjo in the race. We were told by our guide that before the race began, we should face the little babies south so that when they came out to shore at night, they would remember which way to go. Cool, isn’t it? And the race began. I could see how energetic they were. What I noticed was that when they hit the water and were pushed back by the waves, the turtles ran faster as if knowing what was ahead of them. They were just about to get swept away by the ocean. It was my unforgettable experience with the baby sea turtles.

Best wishes,

Pied-Piper of Hamelin

The town of Hamelin was suffering from a terrible plague of rats. The town council tried everything to get rid of them, but couldn’t. At last, the Mayor promised a big reward to anybody who could put an end to the plague.

A stranger dressed in bright clothes arrived and said he could rid Hamelin of the rats. At night, the stranger began playing a tune on his lute, drawing all the rats out of the houses and barns and into the river, where they drowned.

The Mayor would not pay the piper because he said that playing a lute was not worth the reward. He ordered the piper to leave Hamelin.

But the piper came back one day, and started to play his lute. This time, all the children followed him, and he left the village towards the mountains. Suddenly, a cave opened in the mountain and the piper and all the children went in. The cave closed behind them and the children were never seen again in Hamelin.

The culture of Asia is human civilization in Asia. It features different kinds of cultural heritage of many nationalities, societies, and ethnic groups in the region, traditionally called a continent from a Western-centric perspective, of Asia. The region or “continent” is more commonly divided into more natural geographic and cultural sub regions, including Central Asia, East Asia, North Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and West Asia. Although Asia is not a distinct continent geographically, there has been little unity or common history for many of the cultures and peoples of Asia. Asian art, music, and cuisine, as well as literature, are important parts of Asian culture. Eastern philosophy and religion also plays a major role, with Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Judaism and Islam all playing major roles. One of the most complex parts of Asian culture is the relationship between traditional cultures and the Western world.

Other cultural differences throughout Asia are Asian people’s adaptations to the climate zones of Asia, subtropical or tropical. The ethnic groups have adapted to mountains, deserts, grasslands, and forests. On the coasts of Asia, the ethnic groups have adopted various methods of harvest and transport. Some groups are primarily hunter-gatherers, some practice transhumance (nomadic lifestyle), others have been agrarian/rural for millennia and others are becoming industrial/urban. Some groups/countries of Asia are completely urban (Singapore and Hong Kong). The colonization of Asia was largely ended in the twentieth century, with national drives for independence and self-determination across the continent.

Hot Air Balloons by Mark Marchant

People irst experienced lying by using a hot air balloon. The irst-ever recorded hot air balloon light was in France in the summer of 1783. Two brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfer, experimented with paper models heated by hot air at their family’s paper factory. On the day of their launch, thousands of people turned out to watch the Montgolfer balloon take off. The French King Louis XVI was among the crowd. The balloon’smaiden light was a great success. Hot air ballooning became an instant national triumph for France. The French nation loved the Montgolfers, who were seen as a shining example of the country’s new age of adventure and invention.

However, the Montgolfer brothers were not on board their balloon. The passengers in the hot air balloon included a duck, a sheep and a chicken! A couple of months later, on 21 November 1783, two brave men called Marquis Francois d’Arlandes and Pilatre de Rozier entered the history books as the world’s irst people to take safely to the air.

The Montgolfer’s design of a hot air balloon is similar to the designs still in use today. Hot air balloons work on a very basic scientiic theory. Warm air rises up through cooler air. Warm air in the balloon makes the hot air balloon rise up through the cooler air surrounding it. To stay airborne, the balloon needs to remain hotter than the surrounding air. As the air inside the balloon cools, the balloon drops slowly towards the ground. A gas-powered burner underneath the balloon warms up the air inside the balloon and makes it rise again.

Firely or Lightning Bug Photinus pyralis

The Pyralis irely (also known as the lightning bug) is a common irely in North America. This partly nocturnal, luminescent beetle is the most common irely in the USA.

At night, the very end (the last abdominal segment) of the irely glows a bright yellow-green color. The irely can control this glowing effect. The brightness of a single irely is 1/40 of a candle. Firelies use their glow to attract other irelies. Males lash about every ive seconds; females lash about every two seconds. This irely is harvested by the biochemical industry for the organic compunds luciferin (which is the chemical the irely uses for its bioluminescence).

This lying insect is about 0.75 inch (2 cm) long. It is mostly black, with two red spots on the head cover; the wing covers and head covers are lined in yellow. Like all insects, it has a hard exoskeleton, six jointed legs, two antennae, compound eyes, and a body divided into three parts (the head, thorax, and abdomen).

Both the adults and the larvae are carnivores. They eat other insects (including other irelies), insect larvae, and snails.

Once upon a time, on the banks of a river, Turtle played her lute. When Turtle played, all the animals listened. Lions, elephants, butterlies, snakes and monkeys danced to Turtle’s music. One day a man heard Turtle’s music. “Ahh,” he thought, “that must be Turtle making music. Turtle would taste very good right now.” So he called out, “Turtle! Show me your beautiful lute.” Turtle slowly walked to him and held out her lute. But the moment the man saw Turtle, he grabbed her by the neck and began to run. Turtle tried to cry for help, but she couldn’t make a sound. She closed her eyes, holding tightly to her lute for good luck.

When the man reached his hut, he put Turtle into a cage and shut it. Then he turned to his children. “Don’t let Turtle out of her cage.” And off he went to the ields. The children began to play outside. Turtle sat very still inside her cage, thinking about the man’s words. She began to play a sweet tune on her lute, and the children ran to the cage. “Is that you playing, Turtle?” they asked, their eyes wide with wonder. “Yes,” Turtle said. She kept on playing, for she could see the children were delighted. At last she stopped. “I can dance even better than I can play,” she said. “Would you like to see?” “Oh, please!” the little boy cried. “I’ll show you how to dance and play at the same time,” said Turtle, “but you must open the cage. There is no room in here.”

So the little child opened the cage and Turtle began to dance and play. The children laughed and clapped their hands, for never had they seen such a wonderful thing. Then Turtle stopped. “Don’t stop!” the children cried. “Oh,” Turtle groaned, “my legs are stiff. If I could just walk a little bit to loosen them ...” “Don’t go too far,” the little girl cautioned. “Come right back.” “Never fear,” said Turtle. “You wait right here.” Turtle crawled off toward the jungle. The moment she was out of sight, she raced all the way back to her house. Nobody ever found Turtle again. But to this day, if you stretch your ear, you can listen to the sweet sound of a lute in the forest.

Hay fever can occur all year round but it is traditionally worse in the spring months when the pollen count in the air is high. Hay fever is a common name for allergic rhinitis – meaning an allergy in the nose. The allergic reaction causes the nasal passages to become inlamed and produce more mucous. Some of the common symptoms are : sneezing; runny or stuffy nose; itchy ears ,nose and throat; red, itchy and watery eyes and sometimes headaches.

Tips to try and reduce hay fever symptoms:

1: Stay indoors where possible on windy and stormy days.

2: Smear Vaseline on the inside of your nose to help stop the air-borne pollen touching the lining of your nose.

3: Splash your eyes often with cold water as this tries to lush out any pollen.

4: Try and reduce contact with known allergens. For example –pet fur, lowers, dust etc.

My favorite book is Matilda, a book written by Ronald Dahl, which was published in 1988 in London by Jonathan Cape. It is about a girl who lives with a foster family who abuse her and do not give her affection.

The girl goes to a school where a teacher is rude to children. But in that school she meets a very good teacher that is great. Professor and girl are slowly holding his affection and spending more time together.

As they spend more time together, they realize they have much in common. At the end, Matilda’s parents are leaving the city because of problems with the law and they let her in custody of the teacher. Matilda is very happy.

But the Fox thought he saw a way of saving his own skin, and went boldly up to the Lion and whispered in his ear, “I’ll manage that you shall get hold of the Ass without any trouble, if you’ll promise to let me go free.” The Lion agreed to this, and the Fox then rejoined his companion.

Before long it managed to lead him by a hidden pit, which some hunter had dug as a trap for wild animals, and into which he fell. When the Lion saw that the Ass was safely caught and couldn’t get away, it was to the Fox that he irst turned his attention, and he soon inished him off, and then at his leisure proceeded to feast upon the Ass.

It happened one weekend while I was at the fairground. I was with my friend Sarah and we were both really excited. The lashing lights and bright colours made everything appear magical. We were having a great time and we had been on most of the rides when Sarah pointed to the big wheel. The sign said “$1 for a two-minute ride”.

At irst I wasn’t sure, but Sarah had been on it before. “It only takes two minutes,” she said. “Come on- it’s a really thrilling ride!” A minute later we were in the air. It was like lying! “This is a mazing!” I shouted happily to Sarah.

Then suddenly, there was a loud crash and everything stopped. I was really frightened! Sarah held my hand tightly because she was worried, too. We looked down and saw two mechanics. “Don’t worry,” they shouted. “It won’t take us long to ix it!” So we waited…and waited! At irst we were amused. Everyone was running around below us. After a while though, it became scary up there.

Two hours later, the wheel inally started to move again. I was so happy. It had been a long tiring evening. That two-minute ride had turned into a two-hour nightmare! (Reading and Writing Targets 2: Student Book, 1999, p. 48)
