that he said is, “The sunrise is the most beautiful scenery that Iever looked in my life”. I didn’t know was that true or false. I wasvery curious. I really wanted to relieve my curiousity. Therefore, Ichose to spent my semester holiday at the beach.

That was the first time I spent my semester holiday at thebeach. So far, the scenery on the beach were not interested. It

was bored, nothing special. I went back to the villa and sleep towait for tomorrow.

I woke up and looked at the clock. Still at 3 o’clock. Iquickly went to the beach. The sun had not appeared. I wasvery upset. I went back to the villa again and read the book.
