My Most Unforgettable Holiday
In 2015, I went to Derawan Island with my friends and that marks my most
memorable holiday ever!
In June, our school was having summer holiday, so we thought to ourselves that it
shouldn't go to waste. We quickly browsed the internet to find a good holiday destination
and after an hour of heated debate, the four of us agreed to give Derawan Island a try. It
was purely out of curiousity as none of us had been there before.
We arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 05.30 a.m. as the flight was
at 07.00 a.m. First, we flew to Balikpapan and waited for about an hour to continue the
flight to Berau. As soon as we touched down in Berau, my friend called the tour agent that
we had contacted earlier in Jakarta. They had got a car ready to take us to Labuan Batu.
From Labuan Batu, we took a speedboat for about an hour to Derawan Island. It was such
a long trip to Derawan but it all paid off as soon as we saw how beautiful the island was.
My friends and I were quickly ushered to our rooms in the resort. It was fantastic!
The rooms were in a cottage that was situated right above the sea. So we only had to step
out the terrace to find ourselves out in the open sea! After unpacking our luggages and
washing up, we went to the dining hall to grab our dinner. The dinner was only simple
seafood dishes. The surrounding totally enhanced the dining experience, making the food
taste much better.
The following day, we took a speedboat tour, hopping from one island to another
Our first trip stop was Kakaban Island where we hiked to reach the lake and swam among
stingless jellyfish. The last time I heard, there were only three places in the world that
have stingless jellyfish; two of them in Indonesia! Isn't that great? The next stop was the
Sangalaki Island where we got to visit sea turtle conservation and took lots of pictures
with sea turtle babies. They were so cute!
Our last stop was the Maratua Island where we were able to feed fish and see a
three-legged sea turtle. The three-legged sea-turtle wasn't born that way. We were told
that it was swimming in the open sea when it was still a baby then its leg got caught in
plastic trash and couldn't grow even when the sea-turtle reached adulthood. One of the
island's guards saw the sea-turtle and saved it. He also untangled the plastic trash that
bound the sea-turtle's leg but it was too late. Since then, the sea-turtle is kept in a special
space next to the resort in Maratua Island and the guards take turns feeding it to ensure its
survival. This is why we should never litter and endanger other creatures! After Maratua
Island, we headed back to Derawan Island to catch a late dinner and turned in.
The following morning, we wake up early and ate our breakfast in the dining room.
Then, the driver drove us back to the airport so we could catch a flight back to Jakarta.
We arrived at Jakarta, exhausted but terribly happy! It’s the most unforgettable trip I have
ever experienc far!

16. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?


A. To share the readers the writer's most enjoyable experience.
B. To inform to the readers about the beauty of Derawan Island
C. To invite readers to visit the holiday destination mentioned.
D. To give readers some insights on how to have a great holiday.
E. To warn readers to be careful and mindful in order to have a great holiday.

central roles in the Industrial Revolution. They grew rapidly because of great demand for
clothes. They absorbed a large number of employees. Industrialization led to improved

Dear Mom,
How are you? How is Azzam? I hope that he has stopped sneezing and coughing.

I am doing really great. I am really enjoying my tour of the museums of Europe. I have been to
the Louvre in Paris. It was really exciting seeing the real Monalisa, but I was disappointed
because it was so small. Right now I am in Germany. I have visited Berlin, and now I am in
Munich. There are so many museums to visit that I don’t know where to begin.

The admission fees are much more expensive than I expected, so I can’t see everything that I
wanted to see. Some days I have to choose between having lunch or going to a museum.
However, the museums in German are not as expensive as the museums in France. I want to
go to Italy next. I hear that Florence has the best art of any city in Europe.

Next time I will call you – if I have money.

With love,

Naura
