My Horrible Experience
Let me remind you my experience during an earthquake last week. When the earthquake happened,
I was on my car. I was driving home from my vacation to Bali.
Suddenly my car launched to one side, to the left. I thought I got fl at tire. I did not know that it was an
earthquake. I knew it was an earthquake when I saw some telephone and electricity poles falling down
to the ground, like matchsticks.
Then I saw a lot of rocks tumbling across the road. I was trapped by the rock. Even I could not move
my car at all. There were rocks everywhere. There was nothing I could do but left the car and walked
along way to my house, in the town.
When I reached my town, I was so surprised that there was almost nothing left. The earthquake made a
lot of damage to my town. Although nothing was left, I thanked God that nobody was seriously injured.

Visiting Grandparents
Last year holiday of Lebaran I went to Surabaya visiting my grandmother and grandfather. I had to
go there because the previous holiday I wasn’t there. I missed them so much because I lived with them
when I was a child.
At that time both of my parents had to go to another city to earn money so they left me with my
grandma and grandpa. After graduated from junior high school, I follow my parents living in Jakarta.
Since that, I had visited them only at holiday time. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any ticket of either train
and plane so that I went to Surabaya by bus. It was so tiring because the traffi c was too crowded and
stagnant. Normally, the trip needs around 24–28 hours but my trip at that time took 40 hours from Jakarta
to Surabaya. That made me mad.
The madness and tiredness during the trip had gone after I met my grandma and grandpa. They
were looked old. I was so happy knowing them in healthy condition.
