Linking all of your AdWords accounts to Google Analytics

This is part of our series of posts highlighting the new Google Analytics. The new version of Google Analytics is currently available in beta to all Analytics users. And follow Google Analytics on Twitter for the latest updates. This week, Gavin Doolan, an Analytics specialist shares some of improvements to AdWords linking in Google Analytics v5.

We are happy to announce a new feature that will allow you to use multiple AdWords accounts with Google Analytics more effectively.

Previously it was only possible to link a single AdWords account to a single Google Analytics account. This made it more challenging to use auto-tagging and the AdWords reports inside of Google Analytics.

Starting today, you can now link multiple AdWords accounts to your Google Analytics account. The new data sources section in the Google Analytics account settings area makes it easy to use auto-tagging with multiple AdWords accounts and import your AdWords data into Google Analytics.

Let’s take a look at how to set this up:

Before you start, make sure that you're using a Google account that has access to both your Google Analytics and AdWords accounts, and is an Administrator for the Analytics account.

If you want to link multiple AdWords accounts to a single Analytics account, you need to set the new version of Analytics as your default:

1. Sign into Google Analytics at http://www.google.com/analytics.

2. Click New Version at the top right of the page.

3. Click Make this version default.

If you skip this step, you won’t see the new linking interface when you sign into AdWords.

Linking your accounts

1. Sign in to your AdWords account at https://adwords.google.com.

2. Click the Reporting and Tools tab, then click Google Analytics.

3. Click the gear icon at the top right.

4. Click All Accounts at the top left of the page.

5. Click the account to which you want to link the AdWords account.

6. Click the Data Sources tab.

7. Click the AdWords tab.

8. Click Link Accounts button.

If you are linking from a My Client Center child account the process is very similar. You can more in this article: Linking Analytics Accounts to My Client Center (MCC) Accounts.

Improvements to applying AdWords account data to multiple profiles

Now that you can link multiple AdWords accounts to Google Analytics, we’ve also made it easier import your AdWords data into multiple profiles in Google Analytics. We have put together a quick video demonstrating how to do this:

If you’re less of a visual learner, you can always find instructions on how to link accounts in the Google Analytics Help Center.

Happy linking!

Introducing two new versions of the Management API

Today we are releasing two new versions of our Management API into public beta; a brand new version 3.0 and a backwards compatible version 2.4. While the data the API exposes is the same, both versions migrate the Management API from the existing Google Data Protocol to Google’s new API infrastructure. This impacts the way you request and handle data from the API.

With this change, we are also announcing the deprecation of the legacy version 2.3 of the Management API. It will continue to work for 2 months, after which all v2.3 requests will return a v2.4 response.

The biggest changes in switching to the new versions are that developers need to register their applications via the Google APIs Console and use a developer token. Also the URL endpoints have changed, which influence how you request OAuth authorization tokens.

Here’s a rundown of what’s new:

Version 3.0
Is the latest major version of our API and is not backwards compatible. Features include:

• A faster response over version 2.3


• An improved quota policy


• Integration with the Google APIs console to manage API access and request more quota


• OAuth 2.0 is now the recommended way to Authorize users


• The URL to make requests is now at https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v3/management/...


• The API response is more compact using JSON


• New Google API client libraries, which support many more languages


• Support for the Google Discovery API

All future development of the API will be done to this version so we also added some exciting new data only in version 3, including:

• Event goals are fully represented


• An internal web property id which can be used to deep link into the GA user interface


• Profile configurations for the default page and site search query parameters

Version 2.4
This is a minor version upgrade and we tried hard to make it backwards compatible with the existing Version 2.3. New changes include:

• A faster response over version 2.3


• An improved quota policy


• Integration with the Google API console to manage API access and request more quota


• Continued support for existing authorization mechanisms; OAuth 2.0 now supported


• The URL to make requests is now at https://www.googleapis.com/analytics/v2.4/management/...


• Supports XML response only


• The Google Data JavaScript client library will not work with this version

The XML output from this version is the same as version 2.3 so the existing Google Data client libraries will continue to work.

If You’re a Developer, What You Need To Do
Take a deep breath and get excited ;)

While we typically don’t share our roadmap, to alleviate any concerns, we wanted to give you some insight on where we’re going and how this release fits into the bigger picture. Today’s release adds two new versions to the Management API, v2.4 and v3.0. We also have a Data Export API that provides access to report data, which is still on version 2.3. In the future, we plan to do a similar upgrade to the Data Export API Data Feed by releasing two new versions for it, and deprecating version 2.3. At that time, we also plan to completely deprecate the Data Export API Account Feed.

The future of our APIs is to access all configuration data through the Management API and all processed report data through the Data Export API.

So for now, if you are already using the Management API, we recommend you migrate to the latest and greatest version 3.0.

If you are still using the Account Feed in the Data Export API, we highly recommend you test out the new Management API and start planning your migration. But, you can probably wait to do a full migration until all our APIs are on version 3.0.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out in our Management API developer group.

writing as a long term investment

Writing as a long term investment

            Many students are poor in their writing skill. There are many reasons why they are not interesting in writing. We have to admit that studying in college or school is to achieve better life. All universities and colleges require paper writing to their students who want to complete their study. The students must write an academic paper. It is not easy for some students but they do. Some senior students do as the universities students do but their writing is shorter or in different academic writing. Senior schools usually need their students to write essays.

Doing business as a great side job idea

    There are only a few people whose entrepreneurship. To be an entrepreneur needs strong motivation and business skill. Everyone can take a part in a business world because it is widely open. There are only a few people who will be successful and sustain in this hard competition. The principle of business is selling for profit. There are two kinds of business.

A big company often prepares its business years before it has been run. There are many aspects in making a business plan to consider. They are capital, business field or idea, marketing, promotion and human resource.

Introducing Multi-Channel Funnels: discover untapped opportunities in your conversion path

An ad is clicked, and a purchase is made. Marketers have long used Google Analytics and similar tools to see which marketing efforts drive sales and conversions. Measurement is fundamental to ROI-focused marketing. Now, we’re taking this measurability a few steps further.

When a customer buys or converts on your site, most conversion tracking tools credit the most recent link or ad clicked. In reality though, customers research, compare and make purchase decisions via multiple touch points across multiple channels. So marketers that measure return solely on the last channel that a customer touches before conversion are getting an incomplete picture, and potentially missing out on important opportunities to reach their customers.

That’s why we’re excited today to introduce Multi-Channel Funnels to all Google Analytics users. This set of five new reports in Google Analytics gives marketers insight into the full path to conversion over a 30 day period, not simply the last click.

By looking at interactions across most digital media channels, including clicks from paid and organic searches, affiliates, social networks, and display ads, you can understand how different channels work together to create sales and conversions.

We’ve been piloting Multi-Channel Funnels with several customers over the past few months, and we’ve seen our customers gain valuable insight into the buying-cycle and understand the often hidden contribution of channels like social and display to conversions.

One of our early partners in the pilot, HUGO BOSS, uncovered significant contributions from upper funnel efforts, helping to better inform marketing strategy. "Knowing more about how our customers find us is very important, and this data helps us make better decisions. We found out that nearly two out of every three conversions involves more than one touch point,” said Patrick Berresheim, Director E-Commerce/CRM for HUGO BOSS. “It's now possible to value the contributions of assisting channels, which had previously been hidden by looking only at the last click.”

If you use Google Analytics on your website, and have goals or e-commerce tracking enabled, you can begin using the reports today by clicking on the My Conversions tab, with no further setup required. If you are an AdWords customer, make sure to link your AdWords and Analytics accounts to get the most detail on your ads performance. Starting today, you’ll see complete data in the reports for the past two months, and we’ll be expanding to encompass data back through January 2011 in the coming days. Update: This data is now available in Multi-Channel Funnels reports.

To help you learn more about the type of analysis you can do using Multi-Channel Funnels, including advanced features such as conversion segments and custom channel groupings, we’ll be scheduling a free webinar - look out for the registration details on the blog in a couple of weeks or sign up here to be notified by email. We’ll be walking through the reports and common use cases and you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions - we hope you’ll be able to make it.

Update: September 1, 2011 10:30am PST - Conversions are now available in the Multi-Channel Funnel reports going back to January 2011

how to choose side job ideas

how to choose side job ideas

    There are many aspects that need more attention when we have a side job. A side job is only a side activity that gives additional income. The basic income is from the main job. A side job sometimes supplies higher income from the main job. When a side job makes more money than the main job we do not have to quit from the main job. We will get double income. At the time our side job becomes a big business or gives more chance to enhance our career it is reasonable to quit from the main job. What we should possess to get double jobs are time management, and special skill.

types of side job ideas

Types of side job

  

There are two types of side job in general. The first is to work as an employee at another company or institution besides the main job. The second is to do small business. The first idea is good for professional who posses certificate and certain skill. A school teacher can teach at another school. A financial consultant can have double jobs at different companies.  Doing business is suggested for people whose entrepreneurship. The focus is to prepare and learn how to start a small business. Creating business plan is very important to start a business even in a small business.

            Working at another company has some consequences. There are many problems will come up to have double jobs. The first thing to do is that we need to talk to our boss that we have double jobs. This decision has two impacts to the boss. There can be negative and positive. To manage the problems one whose double jobs has to talk to both of the boss so that they will consider the position. Working professionally is required to maintain the existence in those two companies in case one of the companies will fire. It is better to make task priority what we have to do first.

            There are some professions that are possible to have double jobs. Here they are.

First, a school teacher or lecturer has this opportunity. This is the most common profession that allows a person to have double jobs. This type of profession is very flexible even though one is a fulltime teacher. He can still manage the time to teach at another school or course. There are many evening classes or courses that accept a part time teacher.

                  Another profession is a law consultant or a lawyer. This profession of course needs certificate to practice. There are many works offered to be a lawyer. What we need is to build network to other lawyers or consultants do that we can share information or exchange jobs or tasks. Being lawyer assistance is possible for a beginner or new graduate.

                  A doctor and an architect are two professions who allow having double jobs. I have. I have no reference of this profession but I sometime find a doctor who works in some hospitals. There are many other professions that are likely to have double jobs. If you have a talent that you think you can make more additional income why you don’t try to have double job.

                  Doing small business is another type of getting additional income. There are many types of business you can run. You can learn what your skill. You can create a small restaurant or rent a space to sell children clothes, food or packed juice or tea. All are offline business.

                  Another type of side job is online business. It does not need much your time. If you are not expert in this field, you can hire how to create a website easily to sell an affiliate product. You   do not need to write articles in it but you can send a ghostwriter a job to write good articles to your website. By doing this you must spend few dollars but your online business is less costly than offline business if you know. You’d better take a course before decide to create online business because many scam and fake trick you will get trapped in this online world if you are a new comer. You can join a online business community in your town so that you can learn from the expert directly.

                  Another type of side job is as a freelancer. There are many freelance jobs you can get online. You can see most searched freelancer online. Becoming a ghostwriter or freelance writer is one of the freelance job you can browse on the internet. be  careful of scam sites! You can sign up at Elance.com. You can see many freelance job lists there. It is a trusted site where employers and freelancers meet.

Many types of side job you can choose. What you expert in will be your second chance to make additional income. Whatever you do you must be professional to do your tasks and responsibility because the employers or partners will reorder your service if you can satisfy them.

Digital Safety: Would you leave your front door open?

Very interesting discussion starter. We will definitely use this in class.

Responsible, fair use, at all times.

New Google Analytics SDK for Android - Version 1.3

Today we’re announcing a new and improved version of the Google Analytics SDK for Android. This release is jam-packed with lots of good fixes, improved methods, and most importantly, better campaign tracking!  Read on for all the juicy details.

General Campaign Tracking
This new feature is probably the most exciting one for this release.  The SDK now supports the ability to set campaign referral information at any time, instead of at installation time.  This gives advertisers the ability to now track ads which lead people to user their app. To learn more about this feature and how to use it, check out the new campaign tracking section in our documentation.

Anonymizing Ip Addresses
To provide more privacy to your users, we added a new setAnonymizeIp method in the GoogleAnalyticsTracker class. This removes the last octet of the IP address prior to storage and makes the tracking more anonymous 

Configuring The Sample Rate
If you are getting a large volume of traffic, you can set the tracking sample rate to only send a portion of data to Google Analytics. Once configured, the tracker will decide based on visitor ID whether to send hits.

Deprecations
We are deprecating the start and stop methods in favor of the startNewSession and stopSession. The existing methods will continue to be in the library, so your applications will still work when you upgrade, but we highlight recommend you move to these new methods.

Bug Fixes
In this release we were also able to fix three bugs:


1. We’ve fixed a few issues with how the SDK accesses SQLite. As a result you will see less warnings and the SDK now uses less memory!

2. We’ve fixed a bug that might occur if you’re using custom variables.

3. The tracker no longer uses the application context passed to the SDK when starting up.  This should avoid memory leaks caused by holding Activity Contexts beyond the life of the Activity.


We hope you’ll find this latest version of the Google Analytics SDK for Android to be a big improvement over previous versions.  We also hope you realize we’re committed to making Google Analytics a first class provider of mobile app analytics as well as web analytics.

There’s plenty more coming for the Google Analytics SDKs for both Android and iOS.  Stay tuned.

How to manage conflicts between side job and main job

How to manage conflicts between side job and main job

             There are many reasons to have a side job. Getting additional incomes and personal satisfaction are two reasons that are common. No one wants to face hardship in this life because of living in poverty. One of the ways to find a solution to the financial problem is to get a side job. Additional income is needed to get a rise or to obtain certain goal in this life. We want to continue our study or need to buy a house, a car or many properties that time we need additional income. There are two types of getting additional income. They are getting a side job at another company or institution or starting business.

Update to Sessions in Google Analytics

Updated: 8/17/11 at 2:10 PM PST

Beginning today, there will be a small change in how sessions are calculated in Google Analytics. We think this update will lead to a clearer understanding of website interactions. We also want to explain how these changes might impact your reports.

What’s changing?

Currently, Google Analytics ends a session when:

• More than 30 minutes have elapsed between pageviews for a single visitor.
• At the end of a day.
• When a visitor closes their browser.

If any of these events occur, then the next pageview from the visitor will start a new session.

In the new model, Google Analytics will end a session when:

• More than 30 minutes have elapsed between pageviews for a single visitor.
• At the end of a day.
• When any traffic source value for the user changes. Traffic source information includes: utm_source, utm_medium, utm_term, utm_content, utm_id, utm_campaign, and gclid.

As before, if any of these events occur, then the next pageview from the user will be the start of a new session.

How will this affect my Google Analytics data?

This change only applies for visits going forward from today, and your historical data will not change. We’re bringing the definition of session in line with the common definition of a visit. If a visitor leaves your site and returns soon after with a different traffic source value, each visit will be measured with its own session.

Since Google Analytics will start new sessions for all new campaign information, sessions will now have the more accurate attribution information. This will be especially helpful if you use Multi-Channel Funnels. Additionally, by continuing a session when the user closes their browser for only a very short time, sessions will more accurately model a user’s engagement with the website. Overall, this change may slightly increase the number of visits. Based on our research, most users will see less than a 1% change.

We are excited about this update, and look forward to providing you with a better understanding of your website activity. Please leave any question about the change in the comments.

Update 8/17/2011 2:10 PM PST:

We identified an issue responsible for unexpected traffic changes following our recent update to how sessions are defined in Google Analytics. A fix was released at 2pm PST Tuesday August 16th.

The issue affected some sites using the following configurations:

1. If a user comes to a customer’s site with a space in some part of their traffic source data, then revisit the same landing page during that session by refreshing the page or later pressing the back button, a new session will be created for every hit to that page. (Clicking a link elsewhere on the site that leads back to the page should not matter.)

2. Google Analytics implementations using multiple trackers (an unsupported configuration) are also affected when a space is included in the traffic source data. These sites will see fewer visits from new visitors, and more visits from returning visitors (with some variation due to different implementations).

Again, a fix for this issue was released yesterday. Please let us know if you continue to see unexpected traffic changes. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and continued support.

Improvements in Custom Reports: Better builder, more metrics, and custom navigation

This is part of our series of posts highlighting the new Google Analytics. The new version of Google Analytics is currently available in beta to all Analytics users. And follow Google Analytics on Twitter for the latest updates. This week, Gilles Roux, an Analytics engineer will discuss some recent improvements to custom reporting in Google Analytics.

Creating custom reports in Google Analytics is a great way to answer specific questions about how users interact with your website or keep track of the metrics that really matter to you.

Since releasing the new Analytics earlier this year you have sent us lots of great feedback. Thank You! We have been hard at work integrating some of your suggestions and adding new features that will make custom reports more useful and easier to use.

Simplified custom report builder

The custom report builder has an updated look and feel that simplifies the process of creating and editing custom reports. The sections are now clearly labeled, with optional settings at the end, and the metric groups are shown on a single page without the need to switch tabs. We have also added the ability to quickly reorder metrics and dimensions using drag and drop. We hope these improvements will help you create reports that look just the way you want, in just a few minutes.

More metrics and dimensions!

We know - when it comes to analyzing your website usage, the more metrics the better. That’s why we have enabled 45 additional metrics and dimensions inside custom reports. These cover a wide variety of areas such as mobile, social, goals, site search, e-commerce and advertising. All metrics and dimensions are now organized in categories to make the list more manageable.

When viewing a custom report that has an explorer tab, you will now be able to select a secondary dimensions, which can be useful to perform a deeper analysis of your data without having to make changes to the custom report.

Custom navigation

The custom reports overview page is the central place to view and manage all your custom reports. You will now notice a ‘New Category’ button to create your own categories, in which you can group related custom reports. You will also be able to reorder reports, for example to make sure that your most important ones are conveniently shown at the top of the navigation.

We hope these improvements will help you create powerful reports that are targeted to the specificities of your site. As always, please don't hesitate to send us feedback, and expect more features in the near future.

how to get side job ideas

How to start side job easily

            Side job is an activity that someone makes money from it beside his main job. There are many side jobs that are resulted from hobbies and life skill. We can make money with our skill to repair a motorcycle in our free time even though we are a bank employee. Side job sometime do not have any relation with our academic competence and recent profession. If we love cooking we can try to do our own business. We can run a small restaurant for a specific menu. We can offer our native cuisine.

            We may have a high position in a company where we work for and earn good salary but it is a bad idea to have a side job. In this condition we need a personal satisfaction to manifest our hobbies and interest. Getting high income from our side job is a bonus. There are many people who are successful from their side job. Doing side job at leisure time can make a personal entertainment if the side job is a hobby. When we do our hobby we may forget how much money we have spent for it. Why don’t we turn out hobby into cash? I think it is interesting idea. Have you thought about it?

            Starting side job does not mean to spend the money on the activity or the business but it is to make money. Doing side job is not like putting big money in investment market but is to make money from little capital. Big business investment is different from creating a small business in the amount of capital. To get side job does not need big money. When we spend a big money to do a business is not to create or to get a side job. At this occasion we do a business. We can not spend our leisure time to do the business whereas having side job is just to spend the leisure time.

pre linguistic stage for a new born baby

Pre linguistic stage for a new born baby

            We cannot imagine if there is a baby who can talk. There are three babies who can talk in the world. They are Isa Almasih and two others ( I don’t remember). All those three are exception. Generally all babies don’t speak any words. They produce sound which is not in a form of language. This period is called pre linguistic stage. A baby gives response to the human’s voice before he reaches two months old. He has identified certain sound in words after two months old ( Eimas:1975)

            There are three pre linguistic stages. They are crying, cooing, and babbling. In the first two or three months a baby often cries to express his feeling. At this age of three moths a baby likes cooing but he still likes crying when he needs something or feels uncomfortable. Crying and cooing are activities that train articulation organs to produce voice.

            Language acquisition is determined by two factors. They are biological device which every human possesses and environment stimulation which support language development. The relation between pre linguistic stage and language development is that verbal stimulation is very important. 0-5 years old a baby has distinguish sound. He has identifies his Mom’s voice. Talking to our baby is very important stimulation because we are as parents are the environments that support our babies’ language development. Our voice or utterance with the correct language pattern will be heard, stored and copied in his brain.

            Due to the importance of verbal stimulation we have to talk to our baby in proper language and pronunciation. We have to say clearly for example when we say “ Hello” we are not allowed to say “ eo” . “ eo” is a baby’s talk. Using baby’s talk continuously is prohibited because our baby will accept wrong stimulation. What we say to our baby will be copied and it will be our baby’s language model. Using baby’s talk is tolerated when we need to stimulate our baby to babble and coo. In the end, pre linguistic stage and language acquisition have correlation that we have to give right stimulation

IELTS TEST PREPARATION AND PRACTICE

            Learning a foreign language is not as difficult as creating nuclear reactor. Everyone cam learn a foreign language. The most used language both in spoken and written is English. Some people may say” We love our mother language better than English” I agree with this statement but this is not a reason for us not to study English. There is much benefit that we can take from learning English. The strongest reasons for us to study are to continue our study or to obtain a scholarship abroad. The second reason to study is job requirement. Many companies need employees who are good English language performers.

            Students who wish to study abroad even not in English speaking country are required to have high score in a certain international English test. Some of English tests are IELTS, TOEFL, and TOEIC. Students who want to obtain a scholarship are needed to have high score in those tests as well. Why all universities in non English speaking country need this requirement. The best answer is that those universities are open for international students and not all the lectures at the universities are good in the local language. Universities in Germany may have lectures from USA. The lectures are experts in a certain subject but they don’t speak German well therefore they use English to deliver their lesson. Students who get scholarships or wish to study abroad should have strong motivation to study English and to obtain high score in international test. Many students have succeeded although they have to pay for their achievement. There are many experts and a resource to help us learn English and test one of the experts is Clarence Chan. you can see here to see the detail about him.

            Most international companies require English language skill in their job requirements. We will be eliminated if we don’t meet this requirement because many job seekers possess good English competence beside needed job skill. How we can struggle with this hard competition we have to be good English performers. Studying English is sometime very difficult for adult learners. Adult learners who are employees find many problems to learn English. Most difficulties that they should encounter are time and motivation. An employee who finishes his work at 5: 00 PM he has been tired to study. I am a private class English teacher. Most of my students are lazy to study in the evening because they sometime arrive at home at 7:00 PM even they get out of their office at 5:00 PM. Here we are in Jakarta there is too much traffic jam. I don’t know whether it is the same as your country or not. Some students choose Saturday and Sunday to study but they often spend their weekend out of town with their family. A few of them keep their motivation up because they will not get promoted in case they cannot improve their English proficiency. This motivation is strong enough to help students to study even they are too busy with their work.

            The best solution to manage the study time is to spend more time studying English by self. Self study doesn’t need a regular class. We can learn English whenever we want. What we need is more resources. There are many online English learning from free to paid programs. Here are the recommended e-books and resources to learn IELTS.  Those e books and resources focus on IELTS but we can get benefit from the materials so that we can improve our English proficiency besides improving out IELTS Score.

Tips Menulis dalam bahasa Inggris

            Bagi para pemula mungkin akan mengalami banyak kesulitan untuk bisa menulis bahasa inggris. Apa yang harus dilakukan agar bisa menulis dengan baik dan benar dengan sedikit kesalahan atau tanpa ada kesalahan tata bahasa atau grammar. Untuk membuat sebuah tulisan yang panjang atau sebuah essay misalnya seorang yang baru belajar bahasa inggris tentulah mengalami banyak kesulitan. Biasanya dia akan memulai dengan menulis essay tersebut dengan bahasa Indonesia kemudian menerjemahkanya ke bahasa inggris. Sungguh metode ini adalah sebuah kekeliruan karena menulis tidak sama dengan menerjemahkan.

            Ada beberapa langkah yang harus dilakukan untuk bisa menulis dalam bahasa inggris. Langkah pertama anda harus menguasai grammar dasar. Setelah anda menguasainya anda harus melatih kemampuan anda untuk menulis perkalimat sesering mungkin sehingga anda mampu membuat kalimat pendek dengan zero kesalahan. Sebagai contoh anda harus bisa menulis

            Jack likes learning English. He is learning IELTS.

Ini adalah contoh bentuk kalimat-kalimat pendek, yaitu kalimat present tense dan present continues tense . Sebagai seorang penulis anda dituntut mampu menggunakan variasi grammar tersebut apabila kata kerja dan kata bendanya diganti. Sudah mampukah anda? Jika sudah tinggal mempraktekan sesering mungkin.

            Ada beberapa grammar pokok  menurut saya bukan menurut para pakar yang harus dikuasai sebagai penulis pemula, yaitu: Present tense, past tense, present continues, future, dan present perfect tense. Kelima bentuk grammar tersebut haruslah dikusai dan dan dipraktekan sehingga anda mampu menulis paragraph pendek dengan kesalahan minimal.

            Ada beberapa langkah untuk menyusun paragraph, cobalah anda buat sebuah deskripsi sebuah tempat dengan menggunakan sepuluh kalimat. Saya berikan contoh:

            Ancol is a great place for holiday.

            It is in the north of Jakarta.

            Many people visit it on Sundays.

            There are many exciting games.

            They are tornado, roller coaster, Halilintar and many others.

            There is also a water park.

            We can swim there.

            There is a SeaWorld too.

            It is very big aquarium with thousand fish in it.

            I love Ancol.
