Went to Village by Motorcycle

Last year, I went to village by motorcycle with my cousin who studied at Unsyiah. She had to go to our senior high school to meet our headmaster because there was something to discuss. Se asked me to accompany her. She asked in sudden that made me difficult to make the decision. She asked me on Friday noon and we had to go on Saturday morning. After that, I called my parents to ask permission from them and they permitted me. Then, I called her back to inform her that my parents permitted me. She went to my sister’s house which I live in Banda Aceh in order could to leave tomorrow in the early morning. On Saturday morning after praying Subh we leaved because we had to be at School at 09.00 a.m. The headmaster waited for us around that time because he had the other business and had to go to the other place.
We arrived at school at 08.50 a.m. we were be on time. There, we met our teachers. I was so happy to meet them. I miss them so much, especially my English teacher who always motivated me. They asked me about my study during in the university. We were there until 11.30 a.m. After my cousin finishing her business with the headmaster, we went home.
The day after that day, we had to go back to Banda Aceh because we had class on Monday morning. That made us so tired. Only 1 day in our village. We still miss our parents. We planned to go back after doing Ashar prayer, but my parents did not permit me because at that time was the rainy day. They were afraid we were wet because of rain. Finally, we went back after doing Dhuhur prayer.

That was the first time I went from Banda Aceh to my village by motorcycle. Commonly, my parents never permitted me if I asked to go back by motorcycle with my friends. May be because of the sudden need of my cousin and there was another solution. Although I felt tired, but it was so fun.

She started to learn how to draw every single stroke for each character in the correct sequenced. She learned new characters every day. A chinese scholar would understand 20000 characters. We only need 1000 to understand the basic literacy. The top 200 will allow us to comprehend 40% of basic literature. However, Shao started with eight. When we open our mouth as wide as possible until it’s square, so we get the ‘mouth’. Drawing a person who is going for a walk, we get ‘person’.
