Last morning, Dinar, my roommate woke
up late and she had to go to campus. When she
wanted to take her motorcycle, in fact she
couldn’t move it because there were some
motorcycles that blocked up her motorcycle.
She tried to move all of the motorcycles, so
that her motorcycle could move from the
garage. But she couldn’t do it. Then, she called
Adel who had that motorcycle which blocked it
up. After that, her friend who had that
motorcycle helped her. Finally, she could move
her motorcycle and rode it to go to campus.

7. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS TEXT ?
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She
lived with her step mother and two step sisters.
The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered.
They treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do
the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the
pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters,
on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave
them many handsome dresses to wear.
One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that
the king’s son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about
this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At
last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella
could not help crying after they had left.
“Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her
fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to
the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a
cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you
do go to the ball”.

8. Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine
coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother
tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful
ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now,
Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she
drove in her beautiful coach.
Cinderella was having a wonderfully good time. She danced again and
again with the king’s son. Suddenly the clock began to strike twelve, she
ran toward the door as quickly as she could. In her hurry, one of her glass
slipper was left behind.
A few days later, the king’ son proclaimed that he would marry the
girl whose feet fitted the glass slipper. Her step sisters tried on the
slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed
their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the
slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It
fitted perfectly.
Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see
her again. They were married and live happily ever after.
