           Writing is important for all of people to improve their language ability. I have been studying on English Department for 7 months. I took the writing class for this semester, some of my friend said that writing is so fun, but not for me. at the first time on my writing class, I felt not interest about writing because it is so bored, but 1 week ago my lecturer told me to write a unique story, I think that is so nice to share my story with internet users.

            I have finished my writing task, some of my friends commented on my post about mountain exploring, at the last comment my lecturer commented “It must be an exciting experience! Good story, Tio. One little thing to make your writing even better is you can pay more attention on your grammar. Apply what you've learned in your structure class to your writing. :)” and after that, I have received for revision task.

            From the feedback I have learned that grammar is so important on my writing task, I must incrase my writing skill from structure class. Writing class is so fun, but I have to incrase my grammar ability first to make a great papers, I know that fail is the beginning and I believe that practice makes perfect.

           

See you on the top !

      It is my experience about adventure activity on Semeru mountain 1 year ago. From Surabaya, I am with my friend, Tian have buy 2 tickets for bus, we got a long journey to Lumajang-East Java, it is about 4 hours. We are very reckless, you know why ? Because this activity needed about 5-10 montain explorer, because there are many dangerous area, like "Tanjakan Cinta, Pasirkelik, Kalimati and Arcopodo", but it is okay because we are the real men, we believe, we can do this (I took this quote from my favorite climber). After a few hours we have arrive on "Kota Lama" after that we paid for a driver who can give a ride to our first camp by Jeep, Indonesian called "hardtop". Ranu Pane is the first camp for our adventure, there are many traditional food seller, Tian is hungry then he buy some food, Indonesian called "pecel". After we ate those food quickly, we continue our journey at 14.40 to Ranukumbolo Lake it’s about 2.390 ft. We were so tired. I felt my feet is going to broke, but we knew that is not a reason to give up, we reach 2000 ft. It was a long track.
      "Ranukumbolo !! We did it !!" Tian is so happy, but it's just the beginning. We have the final for this adventure, 1.286 ft. anymore. At 17.30 we built a tent for sleep at night. I told many stories to Tian about Semeru Montain, especially about the legend of Arcopodo. Many montains explorer said that Arcopodo is a mystic place, because some of people who have a "different power" yeah .. something like paranormal power can see the twin tower on the 4th camp, it's about 2800 ft. from sea the sea levels, so creepy. We slept at 21:00 because we so tired.
      Sunrise on the top is so beautiful. We woke up at 02:00 A.M. A guide named Arie told me that we must go on the top quickly for enjoying the sunrise. Before I pray with Tian and other team, I did not really sure about my feet, I thought something that hard had been hit my feet. I'm so very sad because I can not continue my activity to reach the top of Semeru. I told to Tian to continue the activity with Arie's team, but Tian is believe I can continue this expedition with second team "See you on the top ! you can do this!" Tian said. Yes ! I'll reach the top ! Brother Evam who lead the second team give me a help to take my small bag, after 3 hour we reach the top of highest mountain on East Java.
