Read the text carefully! Si MODE Hello, my name is Rika. I am 13 years old. I want to ask you guys, have you ever seen a parade? Or have you ever participated in a parade? When I was in elementary school, my school held a parade around the neighbourhood. The parade was held to celebrate Indonesia's Independence Day. In the beginning of the parade, there were students riding their bicycles. Their bicycles were decorated very beautifully, and some were even decorated to resemble aeroplanes and ships. It was really creative. They pedaled their bikes with gusto. Then, in the next row, there were several teachers wearing various kinds of traditional clothes and various kinds of unique clothes too. They waved at the audiences while holding our nation's flag. MARSA In the end of the parade, there was a marching band. All the members of the marching band were the male teachers. They wore costume from old newspaper. They used old home equipment and tools as their musical instruments. They not only played music, but they also sang our national anthems. When I saw the parade, I felt like I also wanted to join it, especially when I saw the parade of decorated bicycles, because I also had a bicycle at home. Why didn't I join the parade? Because I was too shy to join the parade.
