It is also a very old city. You can look down from your plane and see the oldest streets, which run up from the harbor. Many of the houses on these streets, which run up from the harbor. Many of the streets are more than three hundred years old.

Several of these streets end at a square piece of land in the centre of the city.

The Dutch made the port larger, and now, of course, it belongs to Indonesia. On the other three sides are many of our important business and government buildings.

Makasar is rather hot, but it is not as hot as Jakarta. I will you to the grave of Diponegoro, and out of the city to the Marcos Hill and the Bantimurung waterfall.

Punctuation

Punctuation is the practice or system of using certain conventional marks or characters to make clear the meaning of written or printed language.

Punctuation marks are used to add emphasis, minimize ambiguity, and aid reader comprehension. They achieve this by separating groups of words, as well as conveying pauses and a feeling for changes in volume and pitch of the written or printed material.

The overriding principle governingpunctuation is that punctuation must clarify the text. It should help the reader to understand the writer’s thoughts. If it does not, the punctuation should be omitted.

Details on the uses of specific punctuation marks are as follows :

Period (.)

A period is used at the end of the sentence.

Example :

I go to school.

Comma (,)

A comma is used when there are more than one item mentioned in the sentence.

Comma is also used when we want to separate things in a list.

Example :

I have a book, a pen, and a ruler

Question mark (?)

It is used in interrogative sentences

Examples :

Do you like bananas?

What is your name?

Exclamation mark (!)

It is used to write a command

Example :

Stand up!

Forget it!

Colon (:)

It is used before mentioning some items/explanations

Example ;

What should we prepare : a camera, a tape recorder, a notebook, and a pen

How does it work ?

Linda Cheng and Jerry Rothman own Holiday Tours, a small travel agency. Jerry is late this morning.

Linda : Jerry! Where were you?

Jerry : Am I late? Sorry. I wanted to buy a couple of things for the office on my way to work.

Linda : What did you buy?
