comes asking for her being able to ride a boat like that”

Niigata, January 4, 2016

Dear Ketut
How are you ?are you there in your beautiful country-in Bali? Miss you so much in the ski resort. I
don’t have anyone to be my racing partner… true, there are many people here, but we cannot
compete people from countries with no winter and people from Niigata right. So an Indonesia vs, a
Pilipino, was fair enough, was not it?
 And this afternoon I had an unforgettable experience. I was cycling with my new roommate
around the country lane when we saw some children playing on a frozen pound.
Suddenly we heard a shout. One boy had fallen through the ice. We immediately rushed over to
help, but it was too dangerous to walk across the ice. My friend and I ran to borrow a ladder. I put the
ladder on the ice and crawled across it towards the boy. I caught and hold his hand and finally
managed to pull him out of the icy water.
Luckily the boy was not hurt, but he was very frightened.
His parents turned up about ten minutes later. When they saw him, they were shocked and very
angry with him! I felt a bit sorry for the boy. He had certainly learnt a lesson-the hard way.

Sincerely
Gene
31. Where does Gene live ?
A. In Bali C. In Pilipino
B. In country D. In Indonesia
32. What is the topic of the third paragraph ?
