Dear, Winda
How's everything? I'm having a great time. I'm in Malang for a holiday now. I have been in this town for a
week.
Yesterday my aunty, Latifah, took me to Jawa Timur Park in Batu. It was amazing. The park provided a lot of
things to enjoy, such as; a bird park, a flower park, a children park, and "Gallery Belajar". The last was so interesting.
Some scientific exhibitions could be found here. Visitors could try them. I think you would be curious to do it if you
were there.
The other day we went to "Coban Rondo". It was a fresh and cool waterfall on the slope of mountain. We should
pass a small path along the jungle to come to the place. I enjoyed it very much.
On the last day we went to "Ngliyep". It was a quiet beach. The most interesting to do on the beach was playing
with the sand. Tito and Mirna, my cousins, built castle with the sand. I joined them. We were happy when the waves
came. They swept the castle we made.
Well, Winda, that's all from me now. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Please reply this soon. Give my
best regard to both you and your family.
Yours,
Vivi

pedaled hard on my bicycle and was soon speeding home. My thought went back to the movie I had just seen. It was a

scare stayed in my mind and I could not forget it.
The road was dark and quiet. As I approached a graveyard, I heard some sounds behind me. I looked back and
saw Hadi, my classmate. He had also seen the movie and was frightened too. He had cycled after me so that he would

Mangrove Trees
A mangrove is a tropical maritime tree or shrub of the genus Rhizophora. Mangroves have special aerial roots and
salt-filtering tap roots that enable them to thrive in brackish water (brackish water is salty, but not as salty as sea water).
There are several species of mangrove tress found all over the world. Some prefer more salinity, while others like
to be very close to a large fresh water source (such as a river). Some prefer areas that are sheltered from waves. Some
species have their roots covered with sea water every day during high tide. Others are more sensitive to salinity, and
grow closer to the shore. Other species grow on dry land, but are still part of the ecosystem.
Mangrove need to keep their trunk and leaves above the water line. Yet they also need to be firmly attached to the
ground so they are not moved by waves. There are three types of mangrove roots that help in this process :
1.Support roots which directly pierce the soil.
2.Level-growing roots which twist upward and downwards, with the upward twists emerging on the water surface.
3.Level-growing roots whose downward twists (sub-roots) appear on the water surface.
Any part of a root that appears above the water line channels oxygen to the plant below the water line. Over time as soil
begins to build up, these roots produce additional roots that become embedded in the soil.
36. What is a mangrove tree ?
A. It is dessert tree or vegetation of the genus Zoroaster
