8. My First Experience to Drive a Car
Last year, when I was twenty years old, my oldest brother bought a car. That was Honda jazz RS. I wanted to know how to drive it. I persuaded my oldest brother to teach me how to drive the car. But, my brother refused my request. He promised that he would teach me to drive the car about three or four years later, but I still whimpered. Finally, my brother accepted my request and he wanted to teach me to drive a car.Three days later, my brother and I went to the field to teach me how to drive a car. My brother was very patient to give me some directions. I was very nervous because that was my first time to drive a car. One week later, my family visited my grandmother in Bandung, about 4 hours from my home. Because of that, I was alone at home. So, I had an opportunity to drive a car alone. I drove about 6 km but after that I got nervous and I lost my control because the street was narrow and I crashed the wall. After that I called my brother by phone to tell him about the accident. I imagined my brother would be angry. But the reality was exactly on the contrary, my brother was not angry. He just gave me some advices and since that accident, I promised I would always ask my brothre’s permission to drive his car.

The following text is for questions 15 and 16. My Sunday started off beautifully: I woke up fresh, had breakfast at a beautiful beachside resort, with company to match. Unbelievably, I saw turtles in the surf; utter magic. The day progressed slowly like it often does in the tropics: a nap, a nice lunch, and a plan for a quiet night of rest and relaxation. It takes a moment or two to realise what is happening. I ran - as fast as I could. Of course they all say not to run. I managed to move half way down the building when I was thrown into a wall, breaking it in, hurting my back. I scrambled to jump up and couldn’t find my footing. I felt rubble and who-knows-what falling around me, hitting me, I was thrown again, hitting my knee this time. To be honest, one day on, I’m still shaking, I am unable to differentiate between an aftershock or my own body reacting to the trauma. However, if a 7.0 earthquake on the richter scale was not enough, the next two after shocks were in the late 5’s to early 6’s. From this, the tsunami warning came through, and we promptly rushed up the Bukit Senggigi or Senggigi Hill, as it's also known. There was a large congregation of people, locals, tourists, children, all after refuge in fear of the impending tsunami. After maybe one hour the warning was lifted. Kind people had come up with water and told us to sit tight. We wandered back down the hill, and the state of the well known tourist town, Senggigi, was very much unbelievable.

The most inimitable place to be, besides in my husband’s arms, is Harrogate, Tennessee. The rolling hills, clean crisp air, and spaciousness all surpass the city life.
My house resided in the country. A cow field was my backyard, and I would play hide and seek with my friends behind the hay bales. From the moment we got home, yellow sun was setting, my friends and I were always in a new adventure. At times, the golden rays would shine and radiate without a cloud in the sky. The gentle breeze was just enough to make it comfortable. The grass had already dried from the early morning dew, making it look freshly cut and greener than ever.
During winter season, it would snow fervently. My yard also consisted of a rather giant slope. Due to many hills and back roads that would get black ice very easily, school was called off frequently. My friends and I would get so excited and call each other to make plans to go sledding! Snow doesn’t fall in the city, and even if it did, there is no room to go sledding. These memories will not be forgotten.
When summertime came around again, the park was a popular place to be. I always made new friends, and there was always so much to do with these new acquaintances. The people in Harrogate are country people, down to earth, and content with the simple life. They are not concerned with the greatest and latest of things. This made the events at the park so much more enjoyable.
If I could, I would go back and relive some of these memories. No matter where I go, Harrogate will be home in my heart. No matter my age, Harrogate holds some of the most memorable and cherishing parts of my life.

The following text is for questions 43 and 44. New York (CNN) A Brooklyn woman whose racist, profanity-laced tirade on the New York subway was captured on video this week has been charged with felony assault after she struck a fellow passenger, authorities said. The dispute between Anna Lushchinskaya, a 40-year-old white woman, and the 24-year-old passenger, a woman of Asian descent, began after Lushchinskaya bumped into the woman early Tuesday, the New York Police Department told CNN.
Lushchinskaya yelled profanities at the victim on the northbound D train, hitting her with an umbrella and keys, the NYPD said. On video captured by witnesses, Lushchinskaya [ … ] be heard calling the woman a racial slur. The victim suffered cuts to her face, the NYPD said. She told CNN affiliate WABC, which said she wanted to remain anonymous, that she was grateful people intervened. Several subway riders captured the tirade on video. The incident has since been viewed by millions of people on social media. The video shows Lushchinskaya striking the woman several times with her umbrella and her keys and again kicking her. At least two subway riders tried to wrestle the umbrella away. "I'm lucky that people were on the train who were helping me, especially the first Asian guy who stood in front of me right away because he wasn't recording. He just stood in front of me to help me, because I know other people were recording, but their recording didn't do anything until later on when it escalated," she said. This is Lushchinskaya's second arrest this year for a subway altercation -- both took place at the 36th Street Station in Brooklyn. In June, she was arrested for allegedly pepper spraying a man and woman, according to DCPI detective Sophia Mason. Both were Hispanic. She was charged with harassment, menacing with a weapon and attempted assault.
