Grammar : Passive Voice.

💫Semoga membantu pembelajaran kalian ^_^

1. Raja Ampat or ‘Four Kings’

Raja Ampat or 'Four Kings', is the name given to some islands in West Papua and comes from a local myth. The four major islands are Waigeo, Misool (which is home to ancient rock painting), Salawati, and Batanta. Raja Ampat is located in the bird head of the island of Papua.
Underwater enthusiasts flock to this region because it offers the world's best marine sight. In the Raja Ampat islands, divers can explore vertical underwater walls. The thrill of drift diving is another great challenge.
The territory within the islands of the Four Kings is enormous, covering 9.8 million acres of land and sea, home to 540 types of corals, more than 1,000 types of coral fish and 700 types of mollusks. This makes it the most diverse living library for world's coral reef and underwater biota. According to a report developed by The Nature Conservancy and Conservation International, around 75% of the world's species live here.
When divers first arrive here their excitement is palpable. It's common to hear people praise God as they take in the remarkable scenery. Others prefer to remain in silence taking in the overwhelming sight of so many islands with crystal clear water that softly brushes over the white sandy beaches.

14. Cuban Rondo Waterfall

If you go to Batu city in East Java, do not forget to visit Cuban Rondo. Cuban Rondo is a must-see waterfall because of its spectacular scenery.
The first amazing natural charm to enjoy is the huge greenish rock. The gigantic rock and its vegetation that surrounds the waterfal soar high into the sky. The top of the rock bends inward so that when we stand close to the waterfal, we will feel as if we were inside of a gigantic cave or a Bowl Giant. The greatness of the nature will make you feel very small and praise God.
The second scenery to enjoy is the charm of the waterfall itself. From the top of the soaring rock, huge amount of water continuosly fall down, splash on the large black stones at the bottom of the waterfall, and forms a shallow small lake and stream. The water in the lake and stream is crystal clear and icy cold. The wind that blow the falling water and the splash produce millions of tiny droplets of water. The wind can blow your boat. The droplets covers the small lake and visitors in mist. When the sunlight shine through the cold tiny droplets, you will see rainbows on the earth, not in the sky.
End the trip with something that can warm you up. In the rest area, you can buy roasted sweet corns. If that is not enough you can also buy hot delicious drinks and hot meatball soup.

TRANSLETE 

Jika Anda ke kota Batu di Jawa Timur, jangan lupa untuk mengunjungi Cuban Rondo.  Cuban Rondo adalah air terjun yang harus dilihat karena pemandangannya yang spektakuler.

Pesona alam pertama yang menakjubkan untuk dinikmati adalah batu besar kehijauan.  Batuan raksasa dan vegetasinya yang mengelilingi waterfal menjulang tinggi ke langit.  Bagian atas batu membengkok ke dalam sehingga ketika kita berdiri di dekat waterfal, kita akan merasa seperti berada di dalam gua raksasa atau Bowl Giant.  Kebesaran alam akan membuat Anda merasa sangat kecil dan memuji Tuhan.

Pemandangan kedua yang bisa dinikmati adalah pesona air terjun itu sendiri.  Dari atas bebatuan yang menjulang tinggi, sejumlah besar air terus menerus jatuh, memercik ke bebatuan hitam besar di dasar air terjun, dan membentuk sebuah danau dan sungai kecil yang dangkal.  Air di danau dan aliran sungai sangat jernih dan sedingin es.  Angin yang meniup air yang jatuh dan percikan itu menghasilkan jutaan tetesan kecil air.  Angin bisa meniup perahu Anda.  Tetesan air menutupi danau kecil dan pengunjung dalam kabut.  Saat sinar matahari bersinar melalui tetesan kecil yang dingin, Anda akan melihat pelangi di bumi, bukan di langit.

Akhiri perjalanan dengan sesuatu yang bisa menghangatkan Anda.  Di rest area, Anda bisa membeli jagung manis bakar.  Jika itu belum cukup, Anda juga bisa membeli minuman hangat yang nikmat dan sop bakso panas.
