SMP kelas 9 - BAHASA INGGRIS CHAPTER 10LATIHAN SOAL CHAPTER 10 1. Dear Egar,
I am very sorry for this late reply. I have just returned from my hometown. I was on a holiday, but I did not really enjoy my stay there. Things were not the same as they used to be.
When I was a child, I used to swim and go fishing with my brother and my friends in the river near my house. I liked the river because the water was clear and there were a lot of fish in it.
Now, the river is full of garbage and the water is turbid. The fish are gone and the area around the river is dirty. There are no children swimming and fishing in the river because the water is ominous. The chemical waste from the factories makes it poisonous.
The condition of the river really makes me sad. What about your hometown ? Do you have the same problem with polluted river ? That’s all, I have to study for the coming semester exam. Please, write to me soon.
Sincerely yours,
Zaki

5. On my last school holiday, my classmates and I went to Prambanan temple. Prambanan temple is really magnificent. The uniqueness of the temple area really impressed me. How could our ancestor build such temples that have different functions with various statues and reliefs?
There are three big temples portraying Hindu Gods in the area. The other three smaller temples are portraying the vehicles of the Gods. In Siwa temple, one of the major temples of Prambanan, we went upstairs step by step. Afterwards, when walking around one temple to another, we saw many reliefs on the temple walls. Some foreigners seemed interested in them. I overhead their conversation with the guide. Actually the relief tells a story. In the surrounding, we can also see the other ruined temples that seemed uncountable. People call Prambanan Temple area as the thousand temples due to that.
It was really a nice experience! I hope you can go there someday.
Love,
Tia
