SOAL & KUNCI JAWABAN Latihan UAS dan PAS Bahasa Inggris kelas 10 SMA, Why The Writer Loves Ponorogo?

Dear Sally,
Last holiday, my friends and I visited Ponorogo in East Java. Ponorogo is a small city, but it is very natural and beautiful. We spent the night at a villa in Jetis. On the first day, we visited Prigi southern beach. We watched the amazing views of the sea and the white waves. We grilled fish and had “Nasi Pecel” for lunch. On the second day, we visited “Dongko” mountain resort. There were a lot of plants, especially clove trees. We camped there for a night. I love Ponorogo because the people are very friendly and the prices are cheap.
I’II bring some pictures for you.
Love,
Anna
