Thirty years ago, housewives went to the market places to buy many
different things they need. Some of them walked, some took a bus to the
market place in town, and others just bought their needs at the little shops
round the cover of the street, including vegetables. Now adays in a big city like
Semarang, whole families drive to the supermarket for their once-a-week
shopping or even for their once-a month shopping. Their park their car at the
car park provided at the super-market, or at the car park near at hand. They
have to walk around the traffic-fee areas. They something drive to garden
centres and farm shops outside the town. Shopping today is easier than thirty

lessons, and their greater ability to absorb and retain
5.Another inter-relationship of these living things concerns the food supply : what
eats what. Let us begin with the plants. Plants are unique among living things in
that they manufacture their own food. Thus the algae, the water lilies, and the
pondweed all manufacture their own food, which they do with the help of
sunlight. Some small insects, or their larvae, eat algae. Mosquito larvae, for
example feed on algae. In turn, bigger insect eat the mosquito larvae or other
smaller insects, and in turn, too, the bigger insects are eaten by fish or frogs.
Some fish also feed directly on larvae.
6. We have two kinds of seasons in Indonesia, the wet and the dry monsoon.
During the wet monsoon, its rains quite a lot every day. In fact there is always
the dangerous of floods. This lasts for about 4 to 5 months. It is usually
preceded by a transitional period full of thunderstorms. When rainfall stops,
the dry monsoon strats. This also lasts for about 4 to 5 months. During this
time, the ground in the rice-fields becomes dry, so that the farmers plant corn
or other crops, such as cucumber, melons, potatoes or even onions.

no less than 750 local residents. Whereas opening the modern stores and
shops of various discription have provided no less than 150 employments. No
mention was made, however, of the children sellers that are always hanging
around at the beach.
