Agha Deeva Abdillah
Hello my friends.
My name is Agha Deeva Abdillah. I’m thirteen years old. I study at SMP N 2
Demak. I live at Bintoro Asri number G4. I’m the only child in my family. My
father is Mr. Junaidi, he is a
teacher and my mother is Mrs. Ifana, a teacher too. We are a happy
family, although we live in a simple way. My parents tell us to thank God for
everything we get and never forget to pray for Him. That’s all about my family.
Bintoro Market
Bintoro Market is the biggest and the most complete one in
my city. It has a four store-building. The first floor or the ground is for
parking lots of consumers’ vehicles which all are parked there. The second
floor is for the food courts and fruit stall. The third floor is for fashions
and the last floor is for the groceries
My family always goes there to buy our daily needs. It only
takes ten minutes on foot to get there. Sometimes, my friends and I spend our
spare time for window shopping especially at the third floor. We just look
around the shops but we do not buy anything.
Demak
My city, Demak,
is a beautiful city in Central Java.and it is famous all over the world. It is
set between Semarang and Kudus. It gives the city many beautiful scenes, and so Demak
is famous for its beauty. It is beautiful in the Mosque when the trees bud
green and the Banyan trees flower with their red blossoms. It is beautiful when
the leaves turn yellow and red. It is beautiful when the sunshine is bright
