Dog is my favorite animal, it is like a creature that fallen from the sky. Its size compared to the other animal is not as big as elephant and not too small like ants. The body, surrounded by smooth fur, make we feel like we are touching goose feather when we touching it. It has four legs as usual mammal, and each leg contains toes so much as the number of seasons in this world. The legs are used by the dog for running and playing. The way that dog sees us gives us warm feeling and show that dog is a weak creature. It needs us to be a friend with. Loyalty also will be in a part of each dog like a plant related to its root: dog can wait for its master returning home although the master comes in one day in the future. Dog can play a role as our bodyguard when we are walking on the street, it walking beside us and shout with its bark to the strange people. Dog also can be a thief catcher when we do not realize that someone is setting eye on our residence. I think, everyone will change his way for judging animal when he see the beauty of dog.

Hi Sir.. ^_^
Guess who...
Without closing my eyes, I could clearly visualize her walking in front of me wearing Penabur’s mundanely uniform, although for me it was not just an ordinary uniform, because I could feel a heart full with exhilarating spirit and joy when I had just saw a tip of that blue nylon outfit. Her wavy black hair would be beautifully swept by the wind, her eyes would glow like stars, and I could definitely sense the twinkle of sincerity and love. Now, I have known her for almost two years, however we have crafted many marvelously unforgettable pictures together with the other Brilliant Class students. I would never forget the way she created that soft smiley arc on her face. Furthermore, I would never fail to remember the odor of the uniquely delicate fragrance she wears. But on top of that, I would never forget all the kindness and wisdom she had plant little by little in each of us. She is more than just a regular teacher; she has become our beloved mother and also our best friend. I am afraid that all those magical memories would fade away with time. Nevertheless, her incredible love will stay forever in our hearts.
My Favorite Animal
There are many kinds of animal in the world, but just one that could make me interested in. With his fiery eyes and strong legs that make him look so cool! He had four legs that used to walk every where he may go. His fur is looked like a clod of fairy feather. This animal is called fox.
Fox is an animal which has a strong sense of smelling to find his prey. Together with his ability to run fast, he can chase the prey and strike it. His teeth are as sharp as a meat-cutting knife, which can cut his meal without any difficulty. Unfortunately, his eyes are not as good as cats although he has eyes like the cat. His face could make a little girl spontaneously called him cute.
His body is covered by silk-like fur which can make you feel the comfort as you sleep in spring bed. When we touch his bushy tail we can remember the feel when we touch soft cream. His legs are like the foundations of twin tower building. His favorite dish is neonatal Roe deer.
That’s all I can describe about my favorite animal. Although I never touch him, I can feel all above in my imagination.

“Kilua! Kirin!”. That is what I’m doing after my school period over, yelling my sister pet’s name. I have several pet in my house. My parents own a big aquarium where a lot of fishes live in there. My sister have a couple of hamster and she place its cage in her room. Then, my younger brother has a little, tiny turtle. Although my family have their own pet, I don’t have mine. But honestly, among all of pets there, I like hamster very much. I like calling their name and I like to caress their soft and gentle fur. One of them, named Kilua has striped brown-white fur and its eyes are red. The other one, Kirin has also red eyes, but the fur is full pale brown. Their eyes are like cherries with a hole inside it. Sometimes I feed them with sunflower seed or other seeds. I like them very much when they gnaw on that seeds. Their moustache go up and down while their mouth process the food. Kilua and Kirin are fond of playing toys and running in their windmill. When the time to clean the cage arrive, I will bathe the hamsters and my sister will clean the cage. In fact, the hamster can’t stay in very cold and hot temperature. So, after we bathe them, we have to immediately dried off it. Unfortunately, Kilua and Kirin were dead after they got their first children. My sister and I were very upset and suffered from loss.

My Favourite Animal
There are some kinds of animal that I like. But, among those animal, there is an animal which I like the most. Some people say that this animal is a good friend of human. This loyal animal is so kind and friendly. This smart animal can learn many things so fast and can understand what people say. Can you guess what it is? Yes, it is a dog. An animal with various colors of fur. Some dogs have brown fur, black or white fur. Moreover, some of them not just have one fur color. Some dogs have a combination of black and white or brown and white colors or etc, just like Dalmatians which were filmed by Disney long time ago. There are various sizes of dogs too. Some of them are so big but some of them are so small too, although there are medium size dogs too. Talking about this makes me remember about my uncle’s dog. I still remember how this cute little female dog looked like although I haven’t seen her for years. Its soft and smooth fur made me loves to touch her and hold her in my arms. Her blue eyes would shine so bright when I hold her in my arms which were enough to show me how she felt that time. I still remember that pretty face could change into an anxious face when she was afraid. I miss her so much. I hope I could see her soon.

Dog is one of my favorite animal, especially Siberian husky. Siberian husky is a medium-size, dense-coat working dog breed that originated in eastern Siberia. We can look from their appearance that wolf is their ancestor. Their appearance makes me amaze. Beside that, dog is always being the best animal friend for human. I never have Siberian husky at my house but sometimes I see them near the dorm.
Siberian husky has some eye’s color such as dark blue, light blue, amber or brown. Some individual dogs have different color of eyes maybe brown and blue or amber and brown, they called heterochromia. They can live in a cold place. Their coat and nose has adapted to live there. They have a thicker coat than the other breed dogs. The nose is black in gray, tan and black dogs, liver in copper-colored dogs, and may be flesh-colored in white dogs. They have a typical lifespan ranging from twelve to fifteen years of age. Their size is not big. So, they aren’t danger for kids.
Dog barks but husky sometimes like to howl. Their genetic make them like to hunt. Husky is a stubborn dog so it needs more training than the other. When we see TV program about dogsled racing, we usually see husky there.

My favorite animal is a rabbit, especially the one in my house. It was my brother’s. He kept it in the second floor of my house. The rabbit has a white, chocolate and black soft fur and it already getting bigger since the first time I saw it. Its ear is about 10-12 cm long and its body is about 30 cm long. Its weight is around 2.5 kg. The rabbit was given by my uncle. He said that he already has many pets so it was ok. Before the rabbit, my uncle gave me a hamster, but it dies due to cold weather. The rabbit really likes to eat. It is easily hungry and thirsty, so my brother has to give the rabbit food and water more often. It’s such a pity that I can only saw the rabbit on weekend and holiday because the rabbit is very cute. It can get very energetic when it hungry and it makes the rabbit cuter, because it will even stand to take the food. My brother said that the rabbit has been bitten by a mouse once, so now, at night time, my brother put a wire fence around the rabbit’s cage.
Alligator snapping turtles is one of the largest freshwater turtle in the world. We have one in our dorm. It is big. My biology teacher said that the one that we have is the young one, the old one is about 100 cm long. It is a carnivore with strong fang and big old terrifying carapace. People can easily distinguish it from common snapping turtle by rows of spikes and raised plates on the carapace which give it primitive dinosaur appearance. Sometimes we feed it. The last time we fed it was about a month ago. We gave it a fish. Before we fed it, we put it in a pond. When we put the fish in the pond, it started to catch the fish. It opened its big strong terrifying fang. Its tongue, is thin and red, looks like a worm. The way it caught the worm is like fishing. It used its tongue to attract the fish. When the fish is close enough with its mouth, with sharp and big teeth, it closed its mouth with tremendous speed and force, completing the ambush. The fish is sliced the fish by one bite. That’s all about our alligator snapping turtle.
OK, guys, keep up the good work, especially Bella's, Lusia's, Ratna's and Devina's. It's a wonderful closing one by Damar:
"all those magical memories would fade away with time"

Penguins are aquatic animals, a kind of bird which can’t fly (flightless bird). They live both in water and on land, but mostly spend their time in the water. Its tall has range between 40 cm (Little blue penguin) and 1.1 m (Emperor penguin), weight between 1 kg and 35 kg. Penguin’s body is suitable either for swimming or sliding. It has black and white plumage, white front and black back which use for camouflage. Almost all species of penguin are from Southern Hemisphere, but now some have spread to another hemisphere. Larger penguins live in cold region, and smaller penguins in tropical region. Their tails and wings are use for maintain balance when it walked. While sliding across the snow, they use their bellies to conserve energy. Scientists expect that penguins have myopic eyes, although there is no research supported this hypothesis yet. They have thick layer feathers to keep them warm even in cold water. The Emperor penguins are able to control their blood flow to reduce the heat loss due to their swimming. On land, they often assemble together to keep warm by making a heat pack. Because they have unique appearance, I love penguins.

Brilliant Class Saturday Activities
There are three people in the picture. They are drawing in clothes. They use some newspaper as alack. They use some tools look-like a pen. The tool has a small dip for saving some liquid. They are using some yellow liquid as ink. They are boiling the liquid using an electrical stove. The liquid is drying quickly. I think the liquid is melted candle because they have to keep the liquid boiled and the color of the liquid is yellow. According to my knowledge, what they are making is batik.
Batik
There are two serious people on that picture is drawing some kind of lines and dots in a cloth. There is also a small metal bowl on a fire that contains some yellow liquid, made from “malam”, a kind of wax. They pour the liquid to their cloth from a small pipe that has a small hole on its tip. They work carelessly so the liquid scattered all around the table. The “batik” that they made also has not done and there are a lot of blank spaces in their cloth, but their outstanding effort must be get an appreciate.
Describe tenth-grade student
There is one person in the picture. He wore a white-and-red stripped clothe. His hair is short and black. His skin’s color is white. He has small black eyes, cute face and thin body. I think he is a Chinese descent. He is sitting in a green chair and, with his small hand, waving a thin blue book. I think he is sitting in front of a class because there are some chairs and tables in the picture. He is looking at a note on a table in front of him. I think he is taking some tests with his teacher in front of a class.
