My Assignment As law abiding citizens, we can not deny the importance of written legal documents in businesses. Today, notaries play an important role in society, they are highly instrumental in helping people validating their documents to ensure legal certainty and avoid future problems. Notaries are the legal gold standard for legal documentation and arbitration. Therefore, notaries as public officers are appointed by the government authority to serve the public in the making of authentic deeds as defined in Law No. 30 of 2004 on Notarial Duties. This is my assignment, i translated it from my native language. Please check for any errors. Any feedback will be appreciated. I also need some advice for readability (is the above paragraph comfortable enough to read?) and the flow of it. Thank you very much!

A Trip to Bokori Island Last Sunday my friends and I went to an island dubbed Bokori. I don't know where this name come from nor its meaning. While writing this, I searched for it on the Internet and found very little information about this Island. It's a tiny yet stunning island covered in white sand and coconut trees around it. The island had been fighting with abrasion and nearly disappeared until the Government took action and turned it into an attractive holiday destination. It takes about thirty minutes to drive (or in our case to ride our scooters) from Kendari (this is where I live) to the place where you have to cross the sea with a small boat as this is the only way to reach this island. I went to Bokori several times but this one is a different story because I went with my high school friends whom I rarely meet because some of them continue their study in Java. Lebaran (the beginning of Shawwal month) holiday is probably the right time to get together because everyone went back to their hometown to celebrate lebaran with their families. Before going to the island, we agreed to meet at eight o'clock at one of our friend's house. If you have never been to Indonesia, you have no idea how slow the pace and how flexible we are when dealing with time. We agreed to meet at eight but ended up starting our trip around twelve. It was raining, but the rain didn't discourage us to proceed, we had to stop several times to take cover from the rain. On our way we stopped by my friend's house, some of us who didn't wear raincoats got drenched, so we waited for the rain to cease. The host served us tea and let us indulge in pleasant conversation. I will write the rest of the story in the next entry. Thank you for reading and checking this. Please check for any possible error in this writing. Photo: bugistraveler.com

Friday, July 22, 2016 Today I went swimming with my friends, I haven't swum in a long time so I was very excited about it. The pool is approximately 15-20 minutes ride from my home. We arrived around 4:30 PM then we parked our scooters and paid the entrance fee. All of a sudden all the excitement was gone when I had a quick glance to the swimming pool. What turned me off was the pool was not as clean as usual and, moreover, it cost a pretty penny to enter the pool. The water was so dirty I could barely see through it. Although disappointed, I swam for an hour and enjoyed it.

My Experience with Language Exchange Websites Hi, I am Taufiq from Indonesia. This is my first entry, so thank you for reading this meaningless post. I do this for the sake of my English improvement. I had a chance to learn English when I was studying in a boarding school (I studied there for six years - middle school and high school), but I took it for granted and regretted. I graduated in 2010 and still hadn't realize the importance of being able to speak and write in English. At that time, my friends and I even had a tendency to mock people who want to learn English. What a shame! In 2013, I stumbled upon a website that offered an English course (not an online course, they sell a book + CD for learning English, they provided the first five lessons for free). The book looked promising, I brought it. I don't know what struck me, maybe the idea of studying abroad or something else, i don't remember. This was the turning point for me, from that time on, I have been constantly learning English by any means. I just started this language exchange thing two months ago (Better late than never, right? But still, this is 2016, man. Where have you been?), little did I know that these websites have the power to change the way people learn a new language. I signed up to as many language websites as possible, hoping to find language partners as these websites have promised. The experience is quite a mixed bag. I find that some people misunderstand what these websites are for, which is why so many people, especially women, write something like "this is not a certain kind of site" on their profile pages. I don't want to go into too much details, I think you get the point. But there are some websites that offer good learning experience, this website is one of them. On this website, a free user like me can still use some really useful features like this notebook feature. Native speakers checking your writing? Sweet! And there are many other features that I haven't tried yet. I also like helping people who want to learn my native language, I find it gratifying. It took me two hours to write this. Therefore, in order to improve my ability to express myself through writing, I will be doing this for as often as possible. Again, thank you for reading and checking this.
