1. Why did I go there?
My mother is a doctor. She went to Singapore to learn advanced knowledge about medicine. I hadn’t seen her for a long time since she went there last year. So I missed her every day. As a result, during the Spring Festival holiday this year, my father and I got a chance to visit my mother, then we had a wonderful time in Bintan island.
Question: Teacher, have you ever heard of Bintan island?
2. What are special there?
Bintan is a large island in Indonesia, but it is very close to Singapore. It only took us 45 minutes to get there from Singapore by Ferry. Oh, it was an amazing island, the beach was so long and the coco trees were so high. The sand was so white and the water was so clean. I loved the island as soon as I arrived there.
There were also a lot of trees and plants around the island. I thought it was a forest, I was so surprised. We stayed in a small wood house. We also met some animals, such as monkeys, lizards and squirrels.
Question: Teacher, have you ever been to the beach?
3. What did I do there?
I spent almost all the time in the hotel’s swimming pool, because I like swimming very much. It was a big swimming pool which was very close to the beach, I could see the sea from the swimming pool, just as I was swimming in the sea. The pool’s water was very blue and clean, the sunshine was very warm. I loved swimming there so much that I stayed in the swimming pool till night.
Then we also played chess. The large chessboard was put in the lobby. We had to move the chessman with our bodies, it was very funny.
Question: Teacher, do you know how to play chess?
4. What did I like best?
We stayed in a wooden house which was surrounded by many trees and plants. There was also a little pool near our house. There were some crocodiles and lizards in the pool, and sometimes I could see one of them crossing the road to go into the forest. Can you believe that? I met a monkey family coming down the mountain to look for some food. That was the most interesting thing to me.
On the afternoon of the first day, I went outside and ate some biscuits, and then I saw some monkeys coming down from the mountain to find food. I threw some biscuits to the monkeys, but they came closer and closer to me. I was a little scared of them. At that time, one monkey attacked me. I ran back to the house immediately and closed the door. The monkeys didn’t leave, I looked at them from the window. 10 minuets later, they went away. I relaxed and my parents laughed.
5. What did I learn from this holiday?
There were many interesting things in Bintan Island. The best thing was that we had a good time with my mother. And I learnt something from my experience with the monkey family. I think they are wild animals and not pets. I learnt how to treat wild animals. We should keep a certain distance from wild animals in spite of we want to go friendly with them, but they see us as the enemies. We mustn’t throw food to them. The wild animals may attack us for the sake of the food. We should consider how to make a best environment with animals.
This is a special holiday for me.
