My Favourite Novel

I love reading very much. I have a lot of books but my favourite ones are a series of
novels. They are novels about a magical world and dragons. Those are the themes that I
like so much, a mythical world. The novels actually were birthday presents from my
sister. She bought them last year when she went to England to finish her research. She
knew that I will like them so much.
The series of novels that I mean consist of four novels. Each of it contains 500 to
600 pages so it is thick. The novel is in English. The appearance of the novels is
attractive. The covers are made of leather. It is good quality leather so it will not be torn
easily. The colour of the leather is different for each book, there are brown, light brown,
yellow, and red leather. The title of each book is written on the left side and on the front
side of the novel. There is also a box specially designed to keep all the novels. This box is
covered by green leather. It is very beautiful

When I was in Junior High School, my mother bought me an acoustic guitar. It was
my first guitar. I learned some basic guitar chord with it. It accompanied me since I was a
beginner who know nothing about guitar, until I managed to improve my skill to a better
level. Even though I have another guitar right now, but this one is still my favourite. The
sound produced by it is still as clear as it was. Its classic and simple design is just
irreplaceable.
My favourite acoustic guitar has great appearance. It is mainly made of mahogany
 wood. It is a steel-string type of acoustic guitar. Three different colour were used to cover
the major parts of the guitar. The colour of the front side is peach with wooden fibber
pattern which intentionally designed to be clearly visible with our eye. The colour of the
back side is black, and the colour of the edges is dark brown. The neck of the guitar was
painted in black, but the headstock is dark brown. The tuning pegs or tuning keys are
made of white plastic and is attached to the headstock, three on the top side and three on
the bottom side. There is a part called "nut" placed between the neck and the headstock.
It is made of white plastic too. The fret of the guitar is mainly made of copper. There is
only one sound hole on my guitar and it is located at the end part of the neck. The bridge,
where the end part of the strings was attached, is made of wood and is painted in black.

One day, when an Ant was nimbly running about in search of food, came across a
Chrysalis that was close to its time of change. The Chrysalis moved its tail, and thus
attracted the attention of the Ant, who then saw for the first time that it was alive. “Poor,
pitiable animal!” cried the Ant disdainfully. “What a sad fate is yours! While I can run
hither and hither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish, ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned
here in your shell, with power only to move a joint or two or your scaly tail.” The Chrysalis
heard all this, but did not try to make any reply.
A few days after, when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell
remained. Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenly shaded
and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly, “Behold in me, your much
pitied friend!” said the Butterfly, “Boast of your powers to run and climb as long as you
can get me to listen now” So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne along and aloft
on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of the Ant forever.

SETTING UP THE MICROWAVE
1. Place the microwave on a flat, dry surface. A clean counter in your kitchen or a
solid, wooden table would be good for the microwave. Do not put the microwave
near a gas or electric range, such as your stove.
 Make sure the microwave’s air vents on one side are not being blocked.
2. Check that the roller ring and glass tray are secure in the microwave. Most
microwaves will come with a plastic roller ring and a round glass tray. The roller
ring and the glass tray should fit inside the microwave. The glass tray should spin
around on the roller ring easily and smoothly.
3. Plug the microwave into a grounded wall outlet. Make sure the outlet is rated for
20 A. This will ensure it is safe to use to power the microwave.
Note that a microwave from one country may not work or become damaged in
another country. In the Americas and Japan, the outlets are usually rated for 110 V
60 Hz. In Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world, the outlets are usually rated for
220 V 50 Hz.
Pick an outlet that is not already being used by another appliance or electronic
device.
4. Look at the features on the microwave. Check for numbers on the front of the
microwave from 1-9. You can use these numbers to enter in your desired cooking
or heating time. There should also be a Start button on the front that you can use to
start the microwave. Most microwaves will also have a clock on them that you can
set using the instructions that came with the microwave.
Depending on the model, the microwave may have settings for reheating,
defrosting, and cooking food. These settings will automatically heat your food
based on whether you want to reheat it, defrost it, or cook it.

CACTI
Cacti or cactuses are member of the plant family Cactaceae. The word "cactus" derives
from the ancient Greek, kaktos, a name for a spiny plant whose identity is not certain. Cacti
occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes.
Most cacti live in extremely dry environments, even being found in the Atacama Desert,
one of the driest places on earth because cacti can conserve water by doing many
adaptions. Almost all cacti have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Most
species of cacti have lost true leaves, retaining only spines, which are highly modified
leaves. The spines help prevent water loss by reducing air flow close to the cactus and
providing some shade.
Cacti are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western
Canada in the north—except for Rhipsalis baccifera, which also grows in Africa and Sri
Lanka. Cacti have a variety of uses: many species are used as ornamental plants and others
for food (particularly their fruit).

A long time ago, there lived on the island of Bali a giant like creature named Kbo Iwo. The
people of Bali used to say that Kbo Iwo was everything, a destroyer as well as creator. He
was satisfied with the meal, but this meant for the Balinese people enough food for a
thousand men.
Difficulties arose when for the first time the barns were almost empty and the new harvest
was still a long way off. This made Kbo Iwo wild with great anger. In his hunger, he
destroyed all the houses and even all the temples. It made the Balinese turn to rage. So, they
came together to plan steps to oppose thus powerful giant by using his stupidity.
They asked Kbo Iwo to build them a very deep well, and rebuild all the houses and temples
he had destroyed. After they fed Kbo Iwo, he began to dig a deep hole. One day he had
eaten too much, he fell asleep in the hole. The oldest man in the village began to throw the
limestone they had collected before into the hole boiling. Kbo Iwo was buried alive. Then
the water in the well rose higher and higher until at last it overflowed and formed Lake
Batur. The mound of earth dug from the well by Kbo Iwo is known as Mount Batur.

45. What had caused Kbo Iwo’s anger?

Answer: There was only little food in the barn
