my english teacher-not a true story

I like my english teacher, because he has many good ideas in teaching and good in appearance. He always acts cool adn confident when taeching. He knows about many things. W could freely ask him anything even about stupid stuff. He alse has many jokes, so we usually laugh. But there are some jokes we don't really understand, may be because of different culture. He think that it is so funny and he laughs all the time, knocking on the board, and tapping his feet, but we couldn't get what he was thinking. Lately, i think that he is a little bit idiot. But sometimes, i don's get what he want to teach. He told too many jokes sometimes, even he has a new joke every day. May be, it's better for him to become a comedian instead of a teacher. Someday, when he was joking, whole class shouted out loudly to him, Shut Up!!! and he suddenly stopped his laugh and crying all time after the class ended. He cried and cried until we should phone his mother and ask her to com to our school. When his mother came, she tried really hard to make him stop crying.

Welcome to wonderful city, Pontianak

Well my friends, I want to describe about my favorite city in where I was born. My favorite city is Pontianak. It is capital city of West Borneo, Indonesia . In Pontianak, you can find many unique and interesting things. There is “Khatulistiwa” monument. In September and march, we cannot see our shadow if we stand around the monument. Beside “Khatulistiwa” monument, there are “Kadariah” palace, a palace with Malay architecture, and “Kapuas” river, the longest river in Indonesia.

Pontianak is also well known for its variety of cultures. There are many traditional ethnic festivals. For example, “Gawai” Festival, a festival organized after harvest period, “Dragon” festival, a festival conducted several days after Chinese lunar new year. Beside the festival, we can find many traditional dances, such as Malay dance, Dayak dance, Barongsai dance. Hopefully, my description can attract you to visit Pontianak
