Winning Essay: Emily Boyles Catholic College Bendigo
Emily answered Question 2: A letter to a frieMatthewnd describing a holiday in Perth.



Kepada Danielle yang baik,
Apa kabar? Saya baik sekali.
Saya senang sekali karena saya sedang berlibur di kota Perth. Perth yang paling asyik!
Saya menginap dengan ibu saya dan bapak saya di Hotel Swan. Hotel ini terbaru di Perth! Tempat ini baik sekali untuk menginap, karena terletak dua blok dari sungai Swan, dekat pusat pertokoan.

Kemarin, saya pergi ke Pasar Subiaco, yang menarik sekali! Di sana, masakan Cina, Jepang, Indonesia dan Aussie dijual pada hari Kamis dan Jumat, dari jam tujuh pagi sampai sembilan malam.

Saya makan nasi goreng, bakso dan ayam goreng, yang semua enak! Tetapi, makanan favorit saya nasi goreng, karena bakso dan ayam goreng sedikit terlalu pedas untuk saya.

Dua hari yang lalu, saya, ibu saya dan bapak saya pergi ke ‘The Sunset Coast’, yang paling indah! Ada banyak pantai-pantai berpasir putih, yang sangat sepi. Saya dan bapak saya bersilancar dan berenang di laut, tetapi ibu saya tidak mau, karena dia takut. Saya pandai sekali berenang, tetapi saya kurang pandai bersilancar karena saya tidak pernah bersilancar sebelum hari ini.

Kami juga pergi ke Yanchep National Park, untuk mengunjungi koloni koala. Ada banyak koala yang lucu sekali! Saya merasa senang sekali karena ibu saya mengambil photo saya dengan anak koala yang paling lucu! Saya suka sekali Yanchep National Park, tetapi kami berangkat pada jam satu siang karena cuaca hujan deras! Saya merasa sangat sedih!

Besok kami akan pergi ke “Water Fun Park” di Sorrento Quay. Saya gembira sekali!

Salam hangat dari temanmu Emily
