5. EARTHQUAKE
I was driving along the coast road when the
car suddenly lurched to one side.
You know what happened? At first I thought
a tire had gone flat but then I saw telegraph
poles collapsing like matchsticks. It’s terrible,
isn’t it?
Next, guess what? The rocks came tumbling
across the road and I had to get out of the car.
When I got back to town, well as I said,
there wasn’t much left.
My God, that was a nightmare.

Dear Evi and Andi,
Just a note to let you know that we.......a
wonderful holiday in Bali. It was a really great
place. The people are friendly, the food's great, and
the weather's a lot better........at home. Can you......it?
Most days were pretty....... I.......two or three times
a day, but my brother Fachri just.....all his time lying
on the beach with his eyes closed.
7. Last Saturday I......on the bus and........to the north and
of the island, It was much (quiet) there than here–very
beautiful, but no tourists. The next day we.......across to
the east coast.......some of the old villages.
I.......Balinese–I still can't.......much, but it was fun to
try. Fachri actually........it quite well, but he was afraid
to open his mouth, so I was the one who talked to
people.
Love to your parents. See you soon, I.........
Aisha
