temple is well-known all over the world. Influenced by the Gupta achitecture of India, the temple is constructed
on a hill 46 m (150 ft) high and consists of eight step-like stone terraces, one on top of the other. The first five
terraces are square and surrounded by walls adorned with Buddhist sculpture in bas-relief; the upper three are
circular, each with a circle of bell- shapped stupas ( Buddhist shrines). The entire edifice is crowned by a large
stupa at the centre of the top circle. The way to the summit extends through some 4.8 km of passages and

By Air
I used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened.
After taking off, we flew low over the city. It slowly went high to the sky. But, suddenly it turned round
and flew back to the airport.
An air-hostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it touched down.
Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what happened.
Later we learnt that there was a very important person on board. Earlier somebody told the police
that there was a bomb on the plane.
After we landed, the police searched the plane carefully. Fortunately they did not find a bomb and
five hours later we were able to take off again.
I felt so frightening when I remembered that.

In junior high school, we had to wear a white uniform every Monday. I was in my second year when this
unforgettable event happened. We had music lessons on Mondays. That day, we had a lesson playing a
national song on the recorder. The teacher asked us to stand up almost at he same time. But suddenly, Doddy,
the most handsome boy in the class, who was sitting right behind me, yelled and said What happened to your
skirt, its red, yuck! God, I was having my period! Actually, I had already felt something wet while sitting, but I
didnt have time to check it out because the teacher was already in the class. Now everyone knew about my
period. I felt like I wanted to die. The teacher then asked me to change my skirt, so I had to walk out of the
