soal bahasa inggris kelas 9

In Sydney, Emiko met her host family. They were huge! They spoke too fast! She saw her new room. It was huge, too! Everything was huge! Emiko felt small. She went to her room and shut the door. She laid on her huge bed and cried. She didn’t come out for two days.

One morning, she saw her host brother, Mike, playing basketball. Emiko thought, “I want to play, too. I want to stop crying. I want to try to speak English.” She was so afraid.

Emiko went outside. She said, “I can play basketball.” Mike threw her the ball. She caught it. She threw it back. He threw it back again. She ran to the basket, jumped and put the ball in. They played all afternoon. They played hard. But Mike won every game. He was a great player.
