Last holiday my brother and I visited our grandparents in Bandar Lampung. There are many
tourist destinations, such as museums, shores, waterpark, zoo, and Way Kambas. During our visit,
we decided to go to Way Kambas, the Elephant Training Center. We wanted to watch the huge
animals playing football.
Way Kambas is situated in East Lampung, about 110 km from Bandar Lampung, the capital
city of Lampung. It took 3 hours for us to reach Way Kambas from our grandparents’ house. We
left early in the morning at 6 a.m. by car. It would take longer to go there by motorcycle or bus.
We were lucky to visit the place on the weekend because the elephant football show is
only held on weekends. The show was great. It was amazing to see such big animals running and
kicking the ball. The ball was larger than the one used in regular football. After that we watched
other attractions. My brother had a ride on the big animals, but I didn’t, I was too nervous to do it.
At 4 p.m., we returned to Bandar Lampung. We were very tired, but impressed. It was
really an interesting experience for us.

26. “It would take longer to go there by motorcycle or bus.” (Paragraph 2). The word “there” refers

A farmer looking for a source of water for his farm bought a well from his neighbor. The
neighbor was cunning, though, and refused to let the farmer take water from the well. On
asking why, he replied, “I sold the well to you, not the water”, and walked away. The
distraught farmer didn’t know what to do. So he went to Birbal, a clever man and one of
the nine courtiers of Emperor Akbar, for a solution.
The emperor called the farmer and his neighbor and asked why the man was not letting
the farmer draw water from the well. The cunning man said the same thing again, “I sold
the well, not the water. So he cannot take my water”.
To this, Birbal replied, “All that sounds fine to me. But if you have sold the water and the
water is yours, then you have no business keeping your water in his well. Remove the water
or use it all up immediately. If not the water will belong to the owner of the well”.
Realizing that he’s been tricked and taught his lesson, the man apologized and left.

A Million Dreams
Song by: Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams

I close my eyes and I can see

The world that's waiting up for me
That I call my own
Through the dark, through the door
 Through where no one's been before
But it feels like home
They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I've lost my mind
I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy
We can live in a world that we design
'Cause every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be
A vision of the one I see
A million dreams is all it' s gonna take
Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make
There's a house we can build
Every room inside is filled
With things from far away
The special things I compile
Each one there to make you smile
On a rainy day

49. The moral lesson of the song is….
