Level 2 Review - Refrilia Ulfah | Library

My name is Luke. My favourite hobby is photography. When I have time I take my camera and take lots of pictures. I photograph the world around me. I take photos when I’m at my grandparents’. They live in the country, near the forest and have a big garden. It’s an ideal place for me. I get up in the morning and go to the garden or the forest. Sometimes I encounter some animals. I try to take a picture of them. At home, my Dad helps me to choose the best photos. I send them to magazines. I won a photo competition once. I’ve got a beautiful album called “wonders of the World”. Dad says we are going  to our grandparents’  for  the weekend.  I can’t wait!  I will be able  to  take  lots and  lots of photos.

I also  like  both  computer  games  and  board  games. We  have  one  computer  at  home  but
sometimes Dad brings home his laptop and we can play a network game. My favourite computer games are strategy, sport and adventure games. I got my first computer two or three years ago and my first game was FIFA 2003. This is a game where you play different football teams. It was great. My favourite adventure game is Broken Sword III. As for strategy games, I like Command Conquer best.

Sometimes I have enough of my computers. But I have my board games. I can play Monopoly or Scrabble with Dad or Mum. I also have Trivia quizzes or the Millionaire. These are my favourite games that have cards with  lots of questions about sport, people and  the world around us. They are
great!

When I’m outside with my friends we also play certain games. Not  the silly games for  little children,  like hide-and-seek or piggy-in-the middle, but more serious  things. We play pirates, who fight with each other to get the treasure or the Lord of Ring – I like to be Aragon best. And of course there is nothing better than good game of football played with your friends!

PART B. Read the text and complete the following table based on the information that you find in the text. (weight @ 1 point) 

Machu Picchu which means ‘Old Mountain’ in the local Quechua language is a famous site in Peru. It is also referred to as 'The Lost City of the Incas'.  
The ruins of the Lost City are located in the mountains, at more than 2,400 metres/8,000 feet above sea level. This ruin site has more than 200 different buildings and structures. The ruins were never discovered by the European conquistadors but only became known in 1911 when an American archeologist was led to the site by locals.  
While some people believe that Machu Picchu was built as a sacred site, others think it once was the 
summer retreat of an Inca emperor.  It was built during the 14th century and probably more than 1,000 people lived there. As the site is build on a mountain ridge and thus always would be in danger of sliding down the slope during rainy season, over 600 terraces and a well laid-out drainage system were built around the city.  
The city is a magical sight and a great example of Inca engineering, as the structures and buildings of the city were also built without using wheels!

I have lived in Yogya for years and it never fails to amaze me. Every time I walk around the city, there is always something new and fresh. As for today, I walk around Bringharjo Market and I find many things that surprise me. I will tell you about those things. First, when I walk to the back of the market, I see many stalls that sell traditional herbs and medicine. The colour combination of herbs is really wonderful. It really captivates my attention and my sights. The yellow of the turmeric and red of rosella flower are so beautiful. Next place that interest me is the stalls beside the market. The aisle is full of old hidden gem. I find an old pendant which costs cheaper than in an antique shop. It really satisfies me. However, there is something disturbs me during my adventure in Bringharjo Market. It is the cleanliness and the pickpockets that make me feel so uncomfortable. In the end, the trip around the market is worth to do.
