RECOUNT EXERCISE FOR GRADE VIII

A week ago, I got very sick because of my bad eating habit. During holiday, I played video game from afternoon until the sun set. After spending hours and hours playing video game, my stomach ached and my heart was pounding. I remember I did not any food from morning. I tried to eat. I felt the pain was getting worse. Then I told it to my mother. She was so worried about me. She brought me to the doctor.  The doctor said that I was suffering from chronic gastritis. She then gave me some medicines. I drank the medicines twice a day. After several days I got well. Since then I realized playing game was not good because it could make me forgot meal time. Finally I promised to not skip meal time anymore.

The tidal bore is created when high tide seawater flows upstream from the wide, shallow estuary into a rapidly narrowing river channel, clashing with the downstream flowing river water. These waves can be quite impressive, traveling from the sea at speeds up to 40 kilometers per hour and reaching heights of four to six meters. It is often accompanied by roaring sound and strong winds.

The Bono waves have also been attributed to the people that lost their lives in here and the evil spirits associated with these tragic events. So, the Seven Ghosts is a section of the Kampar River where the bore slows down in a sandbar area and then multiplies once it gets back into deep water
