Medan, May 4, 2008Dear Egar,I am very sorry for this late reply. I have just returned from my hometown. I was on a holiday, but I did not really enjoy my stay there. Things have changed.When I was a child, I used to swim and go fishing with my brother and my friends in the river near my house. I liked the river because the water was clear and there were a lot of fish in it. Now, the river is full of garbage and the water is turbid. The fish are gone and the area around the river is dirty. There are no children swimming and fishing in the river because the water is ominous. The chemical waste from the factories makes it poisonous. The condition of the river makes me sad. What aboutyour hometown? Do you have the same problem? That’s all. I have to study for the coming semester exam. Please reply soon.Yours,

Attention, please.The Rajawali Airlines flight number RA 337 to Denpasar, Bali will take off in thirty minutes. To all passengers, please proceed to Gate 6 immediately. Thank you.
