English is so fun for me^^,

Well, i dont know why did i start to remember my old memories about learning English. It's been years since my first time knowing English. i am always excited with English. Just like normal children, i knew English in Elementary School. In my fifth grade, i joined one of the best English courses in my city with my lil cousin. I had fun with English in that place. I love the language, place and teachers. They were so amazing. At that time, the building where i had my course was so big and galmorous but really spooky. It looked so myterious so that my classmates and i always played hide and seek and a kind of detective-games. We felt like in a big and very important mission everytime we were there. We never felt bored because it always has secrets which we havent solved yet...hahaha...what a fun times =)

Then, finally, i have my last term in that English course because i've already finished the last level. I wasnt children anymore. I was at second year of senior high school. i had to make paper and present it in front of the class as my final assignment. I couldnt remember why i chose "The Animals Are in Danger" as my title of paper, but, i satisfied with it. Though i didn't get perfect mark on it, but 3.8 from 4 isn't that bad. Try to ask my bestfriends in Senior high school and u'll find out how i really prepared everything for my presentation. Having that kind of assignment to graduate was the first for me. I'm a perfectionist girl so that i wanted everything to be perfect. Not for exaggerating, but i struggled for that. Heu, i can't tell you the details about that, but i'll try to tell you about my D-Day.

My teacher said everyone has to wear their best formal apparels for presentation. Shirt, pants, shoes, tie, belt, blazer, skirt, even hair had to be as neat as possible. i got special exception. Because i was the youngest which still wore school uniform, so it's ok for me to use my school uniform like usual *thanks to Mr. El, my teacher^^* On D-Day, i brought a backpack and two big paperbags in both of my hands. Guess what did i bring? i brought many animal dolls in my paperbags! haghaghag..i gave it to all of the audience *and took it back of course* and told them how cute that animals were. That's my way to open my presentation. Then it continued with blablablabla and blablabla. Wow, my presentation was satisfying enough for me! how relieved i was. You know what, the best part of it is that i became the best student at that time! i never expected it, but i proud of it. Thanks for my beloved teachers in that English course. I love them all^^,

Lubang Berlian Terbesar di Dunia

nah, kali ini saya mau berbagi info nih:

Pernah liat lubang berlian terbesar di dunia? Ada! Di Rusia ternyata.

Lubang ini dulu adalah bekas pertambangan berlian terbesar di dunia. Tapi sejak 30 April 2004 tambang ini sudah ditutup. Sekarang, tambang ini menjadi lubang terbesar di dunia. Lubang berlian ini terletak di Mirny, Republik Sakha, Rusia. Diamaternya 1250 meter dan tingginya 525 meter. Lubang ini dibuat oleh para penambang menggunakan mesin jet dan dinamit.

Kalau sebuah dump truck naik dari dasar lubang ke atas, kira-kira membutuhkan waktu 2 jam! Dump truck yang besar pun terlihat seperti semut di dalam lubang. Helikopter juga dilarang melintas di atasnya karena takut tersedot oleh angin di dalam lubang yang sangat kencang.

Tambang ini pertama kali ditemukan oleh seorang ahli Geologi bernama Yuri Khabardin tahun 1955. Mulai dibuka menjadi pertambangan tahun 1957. Suhu di dalam lubang ini dingin banget, yaitu sekitar -46^oC sampai -56^oC. Apalagi saat musim dingin, para penambang banyak mengalami masalah, seperti ban truk yang membeku sehingga pecah, peralatan dari besi yang menjadi rapuh sehingga mudah patah, dll. Setelah musim dingin berlalu dan es-es mencair, tambang menjadi kolam lumpur.

Tambang ini masih menyimpan misteri gan. Tambang itu menghasilkan berlian-berlian dalam jumlah banyak dan terus-menerus dengan ukuran dan bentuk yang sama! Hingga kini misteri masih belum terpecahkan.

Kini lubang berlian Mirny menjadi salah satu obyek wisata di Mirny Rusia.
