Assignment 5 : Describing Other

This time, i want to describe one of my incredible friends of mine. Why i think it is incredible? Because he can do almost everything that others can't. Yep, his name is Harsya. He was born in Kauman, Yogyakarta. I don't really remember his birthday but i think its May 28th 1991. He is smaller than me, but you know, don't judge the book by its cover. Actually he has hidden brainpower inside his little near-bald head. Well, first let me describe his appearance, he is a funny-looking face person, short haired, dark-brown eyed, small chinned, near-thick lipped and he is a small-nose person. He likes to wear naruto-like clothes, cloud strife-like sunglasses, and black-long trousers (Cloud Strife is an anime character he admired most).


Yeah, he became my friend since we first gathered in senior high school. He acts cool, silent and the way he walks is anime-like move. At first i didn't care, but after he joined my class, me and my friends began to comment whatever he did. Especially the way he talks, it looks like he was talking with encrypted language. He speaks fast, and he knows many languages like english, japanese and of course javanese.


You know in my school, the boy cannot sit next to the girl, it's because the religion command. Unfortunately, in my brand-new class, i sat next to him. Day by day i began to understand what was he up to. From what i heard, he has been an "English First" student for five years (English First is a english course). That's a very long time for him to not just understand english, but knowing it's essence too. So actually he knows whatever he said just like we speak indonesian every day. Moreover, he was and still very good at other class like math, biology etc.



Do you know IELTS? It's some kind of test like TOEFL, but i think it's harder because i already tried it.
Here's the short story. At first my school offered the class to join the IELTS test. Of course all students in my class agreed to join it. At last, the time has come. We are going to have that IELTs test. Oh, before i forget to remind you about the levels of the IELTS user. There are ten levels. The zero grades is the worst. It is for non-english user. Ten is the highest rank, it's for the one who have mastered his english, i think.


Now back to the story-line, as usual, i had meeting with all my friends that this test should be done together. After that, as we all agreed, we took the seat formation, Harsya, the answer-center was sat on the very center of the class, guarded by four distribution captain, one of them was me. The test went smoothly. But when it comes to listening section, looks like i was absent-minded. I really didn't get what was the meaning of the test. I don't even know the question. It's kinda using american accent, but it was faster than TOEFL. Heck. I didn't care about it anymore.

And so, the exam result has come out, Harsya was at seventh level, and i was at big-zero level. Cursed! When I asked harsya why our result was far different, he said that he already changed his fake-false answers to the right answers while we were busy distributing the wrong answers. Well, that doesn't matter, but what i recognized here, that he has great talent with languages, especially english, made him incredible boy. Hoo boy, and i was and still a mere foolish boy. Now you see why I think my friend is incredible.
