Dear Diana,
How are you? Hope everything went well with you
there. As you know I’ve been studying in Sydney for
three months, and I started to feel more accustomed
to everything I face here. I know this is my best
decision I ever made: I learnt a lot, met so much
friendly people, and had a great time! I learned a lot
especially about different cultures, ways of living and
of course about myself.
If you have the opportunity to study abroad, I
would highly recommend it. If you have the
opportunity, get out of your comfort zone and step into
your next adventure!

Love,
Gani

Venice is a city in northern Italy. It has been known

as the “Queen of the Adriatic”, “City of Bridges”, and
“The City of Light”. The city stretches across 117
small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along
the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
Venice is world famous for its canals. It is built
on an archipelago of 117 islands formed by about 150
canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the
city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In
the old centre, the canals serve the function of roads,
and every form of transport is on water or on foot.
You can ride gondola there. It is the classical
Venetian boat which nowadays is mostly used for
tourists, or weddings, funerals, or other ceremonies.
Now, most Venetians travel by motorised waterbuses
which ply regular routes along the major canals and
between the city’s islands. The city has many private
boats. The only gondolas still in common use by
Venetians are the Traghetti, foot passenger ferries
crossing the Grand Canal at certain points without
bridges.

Dear Icha,
How’s life? Thanks for the letter telling about your
holiday activities. Here, I want to tell you about mine.
Last holiday, my family and I went to the beach.
We wanted to release the baby sea turtles from the
Goa Cemara shore.
Goa Cemara is located in Bantul, Yogyakarta. The
walk to the beach was pretty far, but very shady. It felt
like we were in the Twilight movie scenes, a great for
photo shoots! We adopted 5 baby turtles. Each turtle
cost 10,000 rupiahs. The baby turtles were just
hatched. They were so cute. I chose my turtle and
named it Anjo. My sister Fia also chose one and
named it Wora. Anjo and friends were very skittish in
the box, and then right when we set them in the sand,
they immediately got still. They did not make any
movements.
We entered Anjo in the race. We were told by our
guide that before the race began, we should face the
little babies south so that when they came out to shore
at night, they would remember which way to go. Cool,
isn’t it? And the race began. I could see how
energetic they were. What I noticed was that when
they hit the water and were pushed back by the
waves, the turtles ran faster as if knowing what was
ahead of them. They were just about to get swept
away by the ocean. It was my unforgettable
experience with the baby sea turtles.
Best wishes,
Swastik

30. The following text is for questions 30 to 32.

The culture of Asia is human civilization in Asia.

It features different kinds of cultural heritage of
many nationalities, societies, and ethnic groups in
the region, traditionally called a continent from a
Western-centric perspective, of Asia. The region or
“continent” is more commonly divided into more
natural geographic and cultural sub regions,
including Central Asia, East Asia, North Asia, South
Asia, Southeast Asia and West Asia. Although Asia
is not a distinct continent geographically, there has
been little unity or common history for many of the
cultures and peoples of Asia. Asian art, music, and
cuisine, as well as literature, are important parts of
Asian culture. Eastern philosophy and religion also
plays a major role, with Hinduism, Taoism,
Confucianism, Buddhism, Judaism and Islam all
playing major roles. One of the most complex parts
of Asian culture is the relationship between
traditional cultures and the Western world.
Other cultural differences throughout Asia are
Asian people’s adaptations to the climate zones of
Asia, subtropical or tropical. The ethnic groups have
adapted to mountains, deserts, grasslands, and
forests. On the coasts of Asia, the ethnic groups
have adopted various methods of harvest and
transport. Some groups are primarily hunter-
gatherers
 gatherers, some practice transhumance (nomadic
lifestyle), others have been agrarian/rural for
millennia and others are becoming industrial/urban.
Some groups/countries of Asia are completely urban
(Singapore and Hong Kong). The colonization of Asia
was largely ended in the twentieth century, with
national drives for independence and self-
determination across the continent.

A galaxy is a collection of stars and other

Pied-Piper of Hamelin

The town of Hamelin was suffering from a terrible

plague of rats. The town council tried everything to
get rid of them, but couldn’t. At last, the Mayor
promised a big reward to anybody who could put an
end to the plague.
A stranger dressed in bright clothes arrived and
said he could rid Hamelin of the rats. At night, the
stranger began playing a tune on his flute, drawing all
the rats out of the houses and barns and into the river,
where they drowned.
The Mayor would not pay the piper because he said
that playing a flute was not worth
the reward. He ordered the piper to leave Hamelin.
But the piper came back one day, and started to
play his flute. This time, all the children followed him,
and he left the village towards the mountains.
Suddenly, a cave opened in the mountain and the
piper and all the children went in. The cave closed
behind them and the children were never seen again

Once there was a town called Hamelin. The only

thing wrong was it was full of rats. They destroyed
people’s farms, houses and food supplies. The
people went to the mayor to solve the problem.
One day, a strange man came to town. The stranger
offered to get rid off the rats. In return, the mayor
would give him money.
The Pied Piper was a strange-looking man. He wore
a tall, pointed hat, and a long,
flowing cape. He played a long, shiny flute. The piper
began to play in the town square.
Rats came running from everywhere. They came out
if the houses and the shops. The Pied Piper played
up and down the streets. Everywhere he went, the
rats followed him. The Pied Piper led the rats to the
river. The rats all jumped into the river and drowned.
The people cheered. They were happy to be rid of
the rats. But the mayor changed his mind about the
money. He refused to give any money at all to the
Pied Piper. “Give me the money your promised,” he
said. “If you don’t, I’ll play a different tune you will not
like,” he warned. But the mayor still refused. The Pied
Piper picked up his flute and began to play a new
tune.
Once the flute was played, all the children in the town
were like being hipnotised. These children followed
the Pied Piper wherever he was playing the flute.
When The Pied Piper reached the river bank, he
stopped walking, but the children were still walking
toward the river.
Fear of their safety, the mayor begged The Pied
Piper to let the children go and paid the money he
promised. All of sudden the children awoke and their
 parents rushed to get their beloved children.

mayor finally learned a lesson from
