The Sea Eagle
There is an eagle nesting on
the tree top near my grandparent’s house in Pangandaran. It was a sea eagle.
The color of its feathers is light brown. It
has a strong and sharp yellowish beak. Its claws are very sharp. It hunts
for fish in the sea but sometimes it
hunts chickens and small birds.
Eagles have many sizes, shapes, and
colors, but the sea eagle is easy to recognize because it has a strong a
streamlined, sharp beak and a stream-line body.
Its forelimbs (or arms) serve as wings. This
means that they are of little use for anything except flying. It walks on two legs and has a very
flexible neck and strong beak to handle foods, to care for its feathers, and
for many other jobs that non-flying animals do with paws, claws, or hands on
their forelimbs.

questions based on the text
1. What do you know about eagles?
2. Why is the sea eagle easy to
recognize?
3. What do you think of its flying? Is it easy or hard to do?

eagle do?

The Must-see Ambarawa
Railway Museum
You can easily be accused of committing a tourism sin if
you’re in Semarang and failed to visit the Ambarawa Railway Museum. This museum
is situated less than an hour’s drive from the capital of Central Java. During
the Dutch colonial days, Ambarawa was a military zone and the railway station
was used to transport troops to Semarang through Kedungjati. It is at 474m
above sea level, giving you unpolluted fresh air to breathe. The Ambarawa
Railway Museum is well maintained. It is a medium-sized building. The railway
route is offered to visitors. You can enjoy the beautiful panorama during the
route. All in all, this is a truly exciting treasure to visit.

Answer the questions that follow.
San Francisco is my favorite city in the United States. It
is beautiful, clean, not too big, and it has something for everybody. I love
the streets and buildings in San Francisco. The streets wind up and down the
hills, with beautiful old brick and wooden houses on either side.
One of my favorite things to do
in San Francisco is to ride the cable car. It takes you to most parts of the
city. It’s not a very comfortable ride, but it’s exciting and the views you get
from the car are wonderful.
And I like the weather in San Francisco. It
never gets too cold or too hot. The summers are pleasant. The fresh breezes
blow off the ocean and the sky is always blue. It rains quite a lot in the
winter, but it never gets very cold.
Another thing I enjoy about the city is the
restaurants. The seafood restaurants, with crabs and lobster, are my favorites.
You can also get great Chinese, Japanese, American and European food in San
Francisco.

streets in San Francisco?

certain areas of the city?

Thousands of people visit
Pisa’s famous tower each year and wonder just how much longer it can exist
without falling.
Millions of dollars have been spent to stop

millimeters. This was a great setback because engineers had previously

underground cables idea to straighten the tower. Pisa would hate to lose its
precious Campo dei Miracoli
and the tourist dollars it
generates.
Comprehension questions:
1. How much has been spent to save
the tower?
2. What recently caused concern?
3. What causes the tower to move?
4. How are they trying to correct
the fault?
