Sample work Indonesian Year 11: blog
In Activity 2, Year 11 students create a blog about their experiences as part of a scholarship application for a regional exchange program in Indonesia.
Description of activity
Writing in Indonesian
For Task 2, imagine that you are the student who stayed with Agus. He has posted the blog below based on his exchange with a different family in Melbourne. You decide to write a blog about your experiences with his family in Indonesia.
In your blog refer specifically to Agus, his family, school and the town where you stayed using information from his blog.
Blog siswa pertukaran
Halo, nama saya Agus. Saya baru kembali dari Melbourne. Saya ikut program pertukaran siswa selama tiga bulan. Di sana saya tinggal di apartemen kecil di bagian Barat kota Melbourne. Tempat tinggal saya berbeda sekali dengan rumah saya di sini, kota kecil kira-kira 15 menit dari Bandung, Indonesia. Di sini saya tinggal dengan bapak, ibu, adik laki-laki. Kami memelihara burung dan ikan.
Sekolah di Australia mudah sekali dibandingkan dengan sekolah di sini, tetapi saya suka sekali di sana karena pada akhir minggu saya bisa keluar dengan teman-teman Australia. Saya sudah punya banyak teman – lebih cepat dan lebih mudah daripada yang saya bayangkan.
Makanan di rumah juga lain daripada di Australia. Ibu saya pandai sekali memasak. Makanan favorit saya adalah makanan khas dari bermacam-macam daerah!!
Di foto ini saya sedang naik sepeda di Melbourne. Saya ingat, Sam, salah satu siswa pertukaran dari Sydney yang tinggal dengan keluarga saya di Indonesia tahun lalu. Sam tidak bisa bersepeda. Hahaha…
Sekarang saya selalu berpikir tentang Sam karena mula-mula waktu dia pindah kami jarang menghabiskan waktu bersama-sama. Sayang sekali!! Dia pikir makanan Indonesia aneh sekali. (Mungkin di Sydney dia tidak pernah makan masakan pedas) tetapi sesudah beberapa lama Sam merasa lebih senang tinggal di Indonesia.
