Janjang Koto Gadang was made similar to The
Great Wall of China but in smaller version. It is
located in Panorama, Bukit Tinggi. When I visited
it, it took me 5 minutes walking from Japanese
Hole forward to Koto Gadang. There are 1000
steps I must go through to get to Koto Gadang.
When tired, I took a rest and enjoyed the scenery.
Along the way, I was presented with amazing
views from Ngarai Sianok, Merapi Mount,
Singgalang Mount and paddy field depicting their
beauty. I watched splendor of Ngarai Sianok Wall
with a height of about 100-200 meters. Indeed,
West Sumatra is endowed with natural beauty.
The beautiful landscape is glorious with its
fertile soil, lush greenery and cool temperature. It
was a refreshing change from my seaside escapade.
It is the kind of place where one thinks of retiring
or becoming a farmer or both.
Bukit Tinggi is 90 kilometers north of Padang,
three hours away and connected by a smooth
comfortable but snaky road. The busy market town
is surrounded by rice paddies and three – so far –
Mount Singgalang, Mount Merapi and the more
distant Mount Sago.
The town sits comfortably 930 meters above
sea level and can be covered on foot. In addition to
its beautiful view that makes it as one of the best
tourism destinations, Bukit Tinggi is also a
commercial center in West Sumatra.

My Daily Activities
Hello, my name is Vincentius Gillardino
I’m about eight years old, and I live with my
father and my mother while my elder sister, Maria
Septa Rahayu P. lives in a Pangudi Luhur Sedayu’s
boarding house because she studies at Saint Louis
Senior High School. I have habitual actions that I
always do everyday called Daily Activities.
Everyday I get up at 5 a.m. I also never forget
to do my bed and clean it up, then I go to take a bath,
brush my teeth, and put on my uniform. After that, I
have breakfast with my father, we usually eat fried rice
or a glass of milk but sometimes nestcafe.
I go to school at six thirty five on foot, our
classes start at ten to seven in the morning. When It’s
the break time, I always go to library for reading and
studying there. Our lessons end at twelve thirty p.m.
then we go home from school. I usually arrive at home
at twelve forty cause my house is not far from the
school, the name of school I study is Saint Joseph
Elementary School near Saint Albert Junior High
School. We still live in Pangudi Luhur foundation’s
boarding house. I put off my uniform and change it with
a casual wear after home.
Hi, guys I always take a bath after school. How
about you? Taking a rest for a while is a must for me
before I continue to go to a course. I spare my time for
a rest by taking a nap, then watching television, playing
games, or maybe playing keyboard. I spare time to
study is the next turn after it, it’s lesson course time,
like English and Math at three till five in the afternoon.
At five thirty, I usually have a singing and playing
music courses, after I finish all I directly go home and
take a bath for preparing dinner together with my
family. I ave dinner with my family at 7 p.m.
I spare time for living together with my parents
after dinner and sometimes I also spare it for reading
novel, playing games, chating with my friends through
mass media, browsing internet for few times. I never
forget to prepare my books for the next day lessons and
make sure whether any homework or not.
The time is almost at nine, so it’s the time for
me to get to the bedroom and sleep in order that I will
not be sleepy for the next day classes. Before I sleep, I
always wash my face, feet, hands and also brush my
teeth to prepare my prayer for night before sleeping.
Well guys, I think that’s all the story about my
daily activities thanks for reading it and see you next.

THE FOUR SEASONS
The United States and other western countries are quite different from Indonesia. They have four
seasons; spring, summer, autumn, and winter, but they are only two seasons in Indonesia; the wet and dry
seasons.
In the spring time there is a little rain, new green leaves grow and flowers begin to bloom. This
season lasts three months. During the season the tree look green and beautiful because of the flowers. Spring
is followed by summer. In this season everything is almost the same as the dry season in Indonesia. It is very
hot but the air is humid. After the three months, autumn comes. In this season leaves turn yellow, orange and
red before they fall down from the trees. That is why most Americans call this season “fall” instead of
autumn. The trees are colorful during this season. Winter comes after autumn. In this season it gets very cold
and there is a lot of snoweverywhere. When the winter ends, the ice begins to melt and spring comes.
Most people like spring and autumn better than the other two seasons. Some people, however, prefer
winter although it is an unpleasant season as they can do winter sports such as ice skating or skiing. Some
others enjoy summer. They go to beaches or lakes to have a swim.
