35 Senggigi Raya Lombok 75009 Nusa T enggara Timur 12 th January 2014 My Dear Lovely Siti , Hello! How are you, sweetie? I know you are angry with me because I am writing to you after a long time. I am so sorry, please forgive me. You know we are in Lombok right now. It is so beautiful beyond imagination. I am writing to you from this really cute little café on the Senggigi beach. As you know, mum loves shopping, so she goes and will go for hours. I took a rain check from shopping and decided to write to you while I enjoy my cup of coffee. You know, yesterday we went to Gili Nanggu Island; It is a beach on the southwest of Lombok. The place is awesome. It is so beautiful I couldn’t believe my eyes. There are beautiful coral reefs everywhere. We went for snorkeling and we saw the most amazing fish ever. I wish you were here; It would have been much more fun. Mum was making sure that we didn’t miss any sight of the whole city. S o we had practically been everywhere. I have to go, mum is here. I will see you soon. Lots of love, Lana Read Loudly!

I really miss you so much. The last time we met when we graduated from high school. How about your study in USA? Are you happy studying there? On my last school holiday, my classmates and I went to Borobudur. The Borobudur temple is really magnificent. The hugeness of the temple really impressed me. How could our ancestors build such a big temple? It was amazing. 1 2 3 4 5 23 Alauddin Street Makassar Indonesia 345434 June 23 rd 2018 Dear Anna, 6 Rearrange these jumbled paragraph! (3Letters)

Walking around the temple, we saw many reliefs on the temple walls. Some foreigners seemed interested in them. I overhead their conversation with the guide. Actually the relief tells a story. 4
