Going to Johar Market

My mother and I went shopping to Pasar Johar Market last Sunday. We took a bus at 8 a.m. and got there at 10 a.m.
We went to the fruit section. We bought two kilograms of guavas and three papayas. After that, we went to the fish section to buy two kilograms of fresh fish. Then we went to the fashion shop to buy dresses for my sister.
Pasar Johar was very hot at that time. I felt so thirsty, so I asked my mother to have some drink at a small food stall nearby.
We went home at 11 a.m. by a taxi because we had to go to our family in Semarang.

Tracy's Experience

On the way to the bus stop yesterday, Tracy slipped on wet leaves and hurt her foot. Some people helped her stand up. Then, she went home. Her mother was surprised at that time. And then her mother took her to the hospital.
In the hospital, her mother parked the car in NO PARKING area and then she helped her daughter walk to the doctor. It wasn’t a serious accident, but it was very expensive. The X-ray, ice treatment, and bandage cost $320.
After that Tracy and her mother went back to their car. There was a traffic police officer near their car. He gave her a ticket. The fine was $80. Then, on the way home, Tracy’s mother hit a telephone pole. It cost $500 to fix it. Finally they went home and they were very tired.

Julius Caesar

Born in 100 BC, a member of an important Roman family, Julius Caesar was one of the greatest men who ever lived. He was outstanding as a statesman, a general, an orator, a historian, a law-maker, a ruler … and, as even his enemies said, a conversationalist!
From his youth he held public office, and in 60 BC he became one of the three equal heads of government. For ten years he commanded the Roman armies in Gaul, conquering large parts of Britain and Germany. He then returned to Italy and, by crossing the River Rubicon, began a civil war in which he was victorious. He became the master of the Roman Empire and was largely responsible for the shape of today’s Europe. He was assassinated in 44 BC but even 2,000 years later, rulers were still using his name: Kaiser, Tsar or Czar, Shah, all was ‘Caesars’.
