Text for questions number 1-5.

It was the first time I visited my dear sister in Kediri. I followed her advice to take a train to go
there. "Come on...take a train to Kediri. It would be a wonderful trip for you. I will pick you up
at the station", she said. So, off I went to Kediri and the journey was quite smooth. I waited and
waited at the train station, but my sister was nowhere to be seen. After a long wait. I decided to
take a nice sip of hot strong tea at a cafeteria there. I headed for the cafeteria, sat down, put
my bag next to me, and placed my order. "Hmm... This is what I call decent tea," I said to
myself. "I'm so sick and tired of weak tea. Not bad for a small cafeteria." It was a small one
indeed. Except for me and a gentleman sitting at the opposite table, the place seemed
deserted. I spent a long hour there until I decided not to wait for my sister anymore and started
looking for her place myself. I was walking along the platform when I realized that I wasn't
carrying my bag. I panicked and right at that moment I saw the gentleman from the cafeteria
walking a few meters in front of me. He was strapping a bag on his back. "Wait a minute, that's
my black bag!" I said in a weak voice "Hey, you ... stop there! That's my bag!" I shouted. The
man stared at me dumbfounded. "This is my bag," he said. People were gathering around us as
I said, "Liar, you stole my bag at the cafeteria. You..." I didn't finish my sentence because
someone tapped my shoulder. It was one of the waitresses from the cafeteria. "Miss, I think
you left your bag at the cafeteria," she said and handed me my old black bag. OOOPS! Just like
what my sister said, this trip proved to be "a wonderful journey."
