hometown

My Hometown Medan

Medan is a big city. I was not born in this city, but I grew up and did many things (what did you do?) there, so I love this city very much. This city has different faces at day and night. It has many city lamps all over the place, create the different faces at night. Almost in every street, various decorative city lamps share their light. There have been many place to visit and pleasure things to do. The climate is quite hot, but not as hot as Jakarta. But don’t worry, there are many parks in this city, make the temperature fells more comfortable. (your topic sentence is not clear enough)


Medan also has many entertaining places. Just for hanging out or refreshing your mind. First candidate, shopping centre. You may find Medan Mall, Deli Plaza, Sinar Plaza, Menara Plaza, Medan Plaza as the old ones. According to the government plan too make this city as a metropolic city, there have been built many more shopping centre. I can say The Sun Plaza foe the example. This shopping centre held its grand opening at year 2005. using the international standart, this place is also comfortable. Plaza Medan Fair is the other new building. This place is often used to held sport games and musical event, such as basketball competition, outdoor bands concert, etc. there still The Grand Palladium and also the-under-construction Cambridge.

Second ones is for the food hunter. To collect and manage the food providers, this city has several places, such as Merdeka Walk, Pagaruyung, Kesawan Square. The Merdeka Walk located at The Lapangan Merdeka. This place has just established. Not only for food, this place also provide interesting various shows to attract and entertain people and also ncluding live music with bands. The atmostphere is uniqe. It is outdoor and has uniqe design for each stand. The Kesawan Square occurs at Jalan Kesawan, it lays on the sidewalk of te Kesawan Street. Pagaruyung is at The Kampung Keling. (the topic sentence is not clear to me)

The third ones are food. Medan has many kinds of delicious food. This is one of the part of my hometown that I miss the most. You should try sate padang, rendang, kare ayam , siomay, bika ambon, lapis legit, etc.

Bika Ambon

For architectural study, the Medan city also provides ancient buildings. We may find it at many places, but most of it lays at Jalan Surabaya and around it. At the centre of the city, the ancient buildings used as the government office. Near the Lapangan Merdeka, we can also see the ancient post office. Others are Istana Maimun and The Masjid Raya. Most ancient buildings here were built by the Dutch.

Last but mot least, now we’ll talk about the citizens. Horas!!! Seemed to be the most well known greetings of te Medan society. Actually, the origin people of Medan is the Melayunese, but at present, there have been Bataknese all over the city. The word ‘horas’ is taken from the Batak language, means shalom. But don’t worry, Medan is not just about the Bataknese, there are many ethnics stay there. For me, this is one of the special things about Medan. People in this city come from various backround, but we can still neighbouring in quite and peace. Even we are different, we hate war. (your topic sentence is spoken language, so you have problem in developing your paragraph)

I may say Medan is a very interesting city to visit. If your hometown is not at the Sumatera, you should visit Medam sometimes. You would find interesting people and experience.
