Title: My Unforgettable Trip to Yogyakarta
Last year, I had the most unforgettable trip to Yogyakarta with my classmates. It was part of our
school program, and everyone was excited because it was the first time many of us would travel
outside our hometown without our parents.
We left on a Friday evening by train. The journey took around eight hours, and although it was
long, we enjoyed it by chatting, singing together, and sharing snacks. When we finally arrived in
Yogyakarta the next morning, we felt tired but thrilled.
Our first destination was Borobudur Temple. Standing in front of the magnificent temple was
breathtaking. The guide told us about its history, and I was amazed at how our ancestors built
such a masterpiece centuries ago. After exploring the temple, we took many group photos to
keep as memories.
The next day, we visited Malioboro Street. It was full of shops selling traditional clothes,
handicrafts, and street food. I bought a batik shirt for my father and some souvenirs for my
friends. At night, we enjoyed traditional dance performances that showed Javanese culture.
On the third day, we went to Mount Merapi Museum and learned about the volcanic eruption. It
was both educational and emotional to see the photos and stories of local people who survived
the disaster.
Finally, on the last day, we returned home. Although we felt exhausted, the trip gave me new
experiences, closer friendships, and unforgettable memories. It was truly one of the best
moments of my school life.

Title: The Girl and the Hidden Garden
Once upon a time, in a small village surrounded by hills, there lived a curious girl named Aluna.
She loved exploring the forest near her home, even though her mother often warned her not to
wander too far.
One sunny afternoon, while following a butterfly, Aluna discovered a small wooden gate covered
in vines. She had never seen it before. Her heart pounded with excitement, and without

2. hesitation, she pushed it open. Behind the gate was a hidden garden filled with colorful flowers,
sparkling streams, and birds singing sweetly.
As she stepped inside, Aluna felt as if she had entered another world. In the center of the garden
stood an old fountain with clear water. When she touched it, a gentle voice whispered, “You have
found the Garden of Kindness.” Surprised, Aluna looked around but saw no one.
The voice continued, “This garden belongs to those who carry a pure heart. Every time you help
others, the garden will bloom brighter.” From that day on, Aluna visited the garden often. She
watered the flowers, sang with the birds, and felt peace in her heart.
But the real magic happened in the village. Aluna became more caring and helpful—she assisted
the elderly, comforted her friends, and shared her food with the poor. Each good deed she did
made the hidden garden more beautiful.
Years later, Aluna grew into a wise woman. People admired her kindness, but no one ever knew
about the secret garden. It remained her special place, reminding her that true beauty grows
from a loving and generous heart.
