The following text is for questions number 1 to 3.!
I live in a village called Amed in Bali, about a two‐hour drive from Kuta. It is a beach village and one of the best places for scuba diving in Bali. To reach my village, you will need a lot of energy because it is an exhausting trip. The road is curved and there are many ups and downs too. But as soon as you arrive in Amed, your efforts will be paid by the beauty of my village.
Unlike other places in Bali, Amed is a calm and peaceful place. The bay, some sandy, others rocky appears to be lined with traditional fishing boats called jukung. From the top of the hill, people can enjoy the beautiful scenery. There are no factories or industries in Amed, so the water and the soil in my village are still clean and unpolluted. This is needed to produce salt by the people in the village.

I was on a tour bus with my classmates. We were on our trip going back to school after a long day visiting museums and an amusement park. We felt very thirsty. We gave a big hurrah when two of our friends distributed soft drinks.
Soon the bus was noisy with gulping sounds. Everyone was enjoying his/her own drink. Everyone ? Well, no … I found the taste of the soft drink some kind of funny. It was sour. I felt suspicious and quickly looked for the expiry date printed on the back of the cartoon. May 20! Gosh … that was nearly two months ago. I stood up, cleared my throat and said, “Stop drinking! This soft drinks are already expired. The expiry date is last May.” At once almost everyone stopped drinking. Some of my friends even threw their half empty drinks into the garbage bins along the bus aisle.
Then, I heard a voice shouting, “ You fool, that’s May next year, not May this year!” Now everybody gave me a dark look. I felt terrible because I knew that we were still thirsty. I found out later that the drinks tasted sour because they had a new lime flavor.

When we got to Gili Air it was still quite so we were able to get a bungalow near-the beach for about $ 15 a night plus breakfast. We shared our room with quite a number of geckos. Some of them were quite large ones.
The weather was still hot when I went diving. Jane waited for me at the seashore. She observed some fishermen who had just caught some fish. She did not want to dive because she had a trauma with sea animals. We had three days here which we spent walking around the island which takes about an hour.

It was a fantastic journey that I ever had.

In some ways gorillas are very like humans. When they are happy, they laugh and wave their arms. When they are angry, they beat their chests. When they are sad, they cry. But they cry quietly, without any tears.
Unfortunately, people hunt and kill gorillas. They also cut down and burn their trees. There are now only about 10,000 gorillas left in the world.
