    Science exhibition in the city in 2 months. All schools in the city will be involved
    in this massive event. So, my team and I will be very busy this month and next
    month to prepare our exhibition project.

    the teacher is an Indonesian. Her name is Ibu Mia and she comes from Jakarta,

    this. Maybe next time I visit Jakarta, I can speak the language very fluently like you.

    Alright then, that is all update from me. Tell me what you have been up to, Vivi.
