I really hate flying. Once something happened to me. when I was
on board, the plane started taking off. It seemed that everything
was all right. But suddenly I saw smoke coming from engine of the
plane. The engine was on fire and the plane started to rattle.
Suddenly the captain said to us in a very calm voice. “Ladies and
gentlemen, we are having a little problem with one of the engines.
There is no need to panic. Keep your seat belts fastened. We are
going to return to the airport.”
You can imagine how frightened I was, but the crew was fantastic.
The flight attendants were really calm and told us not to worry. One
of them told me to relax and said that everything would be all right.
A few minutes later, we were coming in to land, the pilot made a
smooth landing on the runway. It was over, and we were safe.
I took a taxi and went home. From that day on, I decided not to fly
anymore.

13. NEWS ITEM
• News item is a text which informs readers about events of
the day. The events are considered newsworthy or
important. (News item adalah teks yang memberikan
informasi tentang kejadian / peristiwa harian. Peristiwa
harian ini dianggap pantas dijadikan berita atau [bisa
dibilang] penting)
• Artinya, jika ada suatu peristiwa penting yang patut
diketahui oleh banyak orang, maka peristiwa ini pantas
dijadikan berita. Nah, teks berita itulah yang dinamakan
dengan news item. Namun, jika ada peristiwa yang tidak
pantas diketahui oleh orang banyak, maka peristiwa
tersebut jelas tidak layak dijadikan berita

The deaths of Leeteuk's father and grandparents deemed possible suicide
January 6, 2014 @ 11:46 am
It was revealed earlier that the father and grandparents of SUPER JUNIOR’S
LEETEUK had died after a fatal car accident. However, reps from the fire and police
department are reporting that it was not a car accident, but rather a possible
suicide as the three of them were discovered in their home.
A rep from the Dongjak Fire Station in Seoul told news outlet MBN Star, "Currently,
the situation related to Leeteuk's father and grandparents are being reported as a
car accident, but this is different from what we know. This was not a car accident;
we are looking at the possibility of suicide . . . The three of them were all discovered
at their house."
Likewise, a rep from the Dongjak Police Station told TV Report, "We moved at 9:07
AM on January 6 and found the three people deceased at their home; therefore, we
are looking into possible suicide.“
As the claims by the fire and police stations contradict with what was reported
earlier today by the media, the exact truth still remains to be seen. Meanwhile,
the memorial altar will take place on January 8 at the Korea University Medical
Center (Guro Hospital)'s funeral parlor.
