An Excursion to Bogor Botanic Garden

All right, everybody, I’ll tell you about this great place.On Friday 16 March we went to Bogor Botanic Garden. We went there by bus and we arrived at that famous garden at 10 o’clock.

Arriving at the garden, we were divided into two groups. Group A followed Mrs. Nina and Group B followed Mr. Ahmad. I was in group A. Well, first we went to the odd tropical plants and Mrs. Nina read us some of the information. Then, we looked at all the lovely plants. After that, we went to a little spot near the Raffles cemetery and had morning tea. Next, we did some sketching and then we met group B at the information center to have our lunch.

Soon, it was time for us to go to the orchid section while Group B did some research on flowers. Uhm…A lady led us to the orchid section. Then, she explained about many kinds of orchid.

Next, we had a look at the Indonesian orchid. Wow, we saw many kinds of Indonesian orchids. They were all beautiful. Later, we took a look at the American, European and Asian orchid’s section. It was interesting. Soon after we had finished our observations, we went back outside and met group B. Then, we got on the bus and returned to school. We really enjoyed the trip to Bogor Botanic Garden.

He ordered Daedalus, a craftsman from Athens, to build a labyrinth in order to house the monster. When Daedalus finished his work, he wanted to leave Crete. But the king would not let him go.

Daedalus finally escaped through the air by using wings fixed to his body with wax. He also made wings for his son, Icarus and made him fly behind himself. But the son was so glad and excited that he soon went too high. As he flew nearer to the sun, it got warmer and warmer until at last the wax melted and his body fell down into the sea near Troy. The sea is now called the Icarian Sea.

The Fly and the Bull

There was once a little fly who thought he was very important. He felt proud of himself. One sunny morning, he flew around looking for someone to talk to. He saw a bull grazing in a field. He decided to fly down to talk to him.

The little fly flew down and buzzed around the bull’s head. The bull did not bother him. He went on chewing grass.

The fly then buzzed right inside the bull’s ear. The bull continued chewing grass. The fly thought, “What a stupid animal!”

Now, the fly decided to land on the bull’s horns to make the bull notice him. He waited for the bull to say something but the bull kept quiet.

The fly then shouted angrily, “Oh, Bull, if you find that I am too heavy for you, let me know and I’ll fly away!”.

The bull laughed and said, “Little fly, I don’t care if you stay or leave. You are so tiny and that your weight does not make any difference to me, so please be quiet and leave me alone. ”

There was a traveler going to a distant town. When he reached the town it was almost midnight. He came to an inn but it locked from the inside. He knocked at the door. “Who are you?” asked a voice from inside the inn. “What do you want? The door cannot be unlocked at such an odd hour”. The traveler needed rest, food and shelter. He said, “Please, innkeeper, unlock the door. See, how cold outside!”

“It’s a strange lock and can be opened only with a silver key,” replied the innkeeper. The traveler passed a silver coin through a slit in the door, got the door unlocked and entered into the inn. “I have left one of my two bags outside,” said the traveler. “Will you please bring it in?” No sooner had the innkeeper gone out than traveler locked the door from inside. The greedy innkeeper was now shut out. He requested the traveler to unlock the door. “I’m helpless,” replied the traveler. “It’s a strange lock. It can be opened only with a silver key. The innkeeper was obliged to push through the slit a silver coin. The traveler got back his rupee and unlocked the door.

London

Do you know the capital city of England? Right. London is the capital of the United Kingdom.

Look at the map carefully. Here is London. Can you see it? It is situated in southeastern England along the Thames River. London is a well-known city with a population of about 7 millions. It is the largest city in Europe. Although it is no longer included among the world’s most populous cities, London is still one of the world’s major financial and cultural capitals.

Are you still with me? OK, thank you. Let’s continue. London’s climate is generally mild and damp although it can be erratic. London is one of the driest parts of Britain. However, the weather is generally cloudy, and sometimes it rains on half the days of the year. With the mean temperature in July of about 18° C (about 64° F),

London has warmer summers than most of the island. It’s frosty during winters in London. Fog frequently develops in winter.

Now let me tell you about the city. London’s metropolitan area extends for more than 30 miles. Most of Central London is located north of the Thames. It contains the City of London, the City of Westminster, and districts in the West End. The City of London is the heart of the city. The City of Westminster is the seat of the national government.

Part B. Active Listening. Listen to the following news. While listening, complete the missing words with the words you hear. Then, answer the questions.

Good morning listeners. It’s ten o’clock in the morning and you’re listening to Headline News in 007 Archid FM. I’m Mike Tjokro. The first newsworthy event comes from Moscow. A Russians journalist has uncovered evidence of another Soviet nuclear catastrophe, which killed ten sailors and contaminated an entire town.

Yelena Vazrshavskya is the first journalist to speak to people who witnessed the explosion of a nuclear submarine at the naval base of Shkotovo 22, near Vladivostock.

The accident, which occurred 13 months before the Chernobyl disaster, spread radioactive fallout. The base and nearby town, were covered up by officials of the Soviet Union. Residents were told that the explosion was in the reactor of the Victor submarine. It was said to be a ‘thermal’ and not nuclear explosion. Those involved in the clean up operation to remove more than 600 tons of contaminated material were sworn to secrecy.

A board of investigators were later to describe it as the worst accident in the history of the Soviet Navy.

OK listeners, that’s the first news for today. I am coming back soon with some other important news. So, stay tuned to 007 FM Archid Radio Station.

The latest news for today comes from Kendari, southeast Sulawesi. It is about the Kendari SAR team that have found three more victims. Here is the news in detail.

On Thursday a search-and-rescue team found three more victims from a ship that sank in the Banda Sea. They had been missing since the accident occurred on Friday last week. They were Aris Triono, the captain of the Amami Cargo ship, Yakub, a crew-man, and Suharto, a passenger.

They were found on Thursday floating in waters close to Menui Island, Central Sulawesi province. The province is adjacent to the southeast Sulawesi province and the Banda Sea.

Two other victims were earlier saved by the SAR team in the Banda Sea on Saturday last week, only a day after the ship sank due to bad weather.
