PILIHAN GANDA

Text 1
One of the most interesting animals in the zoo is the giraffe. This is the giraffe we saw at the zoo. It is
male and it is about six meters tall.
The giraffe has big brown eyes. They are protected by very thick lashes. This giraffe has brown spots on
the skin. This coloring helps protect the giraffe. It also has two short horns on its head. Like a camel , it can go
for a long time without drinking water. One source of water is the leaves which it eats from trees. It is tall, so
the giraffe can reach the tender leaves at the top of tree. The giraffe has two methods of self protection. If
something frightens an adult giraffe, it can gallop away at about fifty kilometers per hour or stay to fight with its
strong legs.

My Holiday in Flores
I went to Flores last month. I went there to visit Australian Volunteer English teachers in Maumere,
Ende and Bajawa. As a result , I also enjoyed the beauty of the island .
I started my first day in Maumere with Jo Keating. After visiting several schools in the city, we took an
amazing journey over the mountains to the south coast. We visited a new junior high school there. Then,I
traveled to Ende to meet Sharon Kidman. Ende has a great market with a lovely selection of traditional ikat
cloth, and great seafood.
My next trip was to Detusoko. It is a mountain village. I went there with Ginny Edwards. Detusoko is
not far from Mount Kelimutu. We woke up at 4 am to see the three different coloured lakes at dawn. It was truly
inspiring.
My final trip was to Bajawa. It is a small town high in the mountains. It was a very cold place. Yet my
trip was fun and memorable. I would like to go back to Flores one day.
