Going Fishing for the First Time
Last week, my uncle asked me to go fi shing with him in the river near his house. He also told me that the scenery
there is beautiful. I was excited because I had never gone fi shing before. Therefore, he taught me how to do it very well.
We left at 9 a.m. When we got to the river, there were already some people. They were also fi shing. Then, we
looked for a convenient place under a tree. We put our fi shing equipment and our lunch box on the mat we brought.
After that, my uncle taught me how to catch fi sh. He did it very patiently.
Suddenly, in the middle of fi shing, I felt something really heavy catching my hook. I could not pull it until I slipped
and fell into the river. I did not realize that the grass was slippery. My uncle pulled me out quickly. He helped me
reach the ground.
Thank God, I was safe even though I have mud all over my face. It was embarrassing!

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 fi rst 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, and my cousin 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 satisfi ed and so were they.
