Kenalkan nama saya Priska. Saya dari Flores, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Saya tinggal di kampung kecil. Saya lahir dari keluarga petani. Di kampung saya, banyak orang kerja sebagai petani dan nelayan.

Anak - anak muda di sini banyak yang kerja di luar Flores seperti Jawa dan Bali. Teman - teman saya ada yang kerja sebagai sopir dan karyawan di toko. Ada juga yang kuliah, seperti teman saya Ine. Dia kuliah di universitas terbaik di Bali. Dia mau jadi dokter gigi. 

Di keluarga saya, saya ada tiga saudara. Saya anak nomer tiga. Seperti kebanyakan anak - anak muda yang lain, kakak dan adik saya kerja di luar Flores. Kakak pertama saya kerja sebagai guru bahasa Inggris di Sumatera. Yang kedua kerja di hotel, dan adik saya masih kuliah. Saya tinggal di kampung karena saya ada bisnis sendiri di sini.

Translation

My name is Priska. I am from Flores, East Nusa Tenggara. I live in a small village. I was born into a farming family. In my village, many people work as farmers and fishermen.

Many young people here work outside Flores, such as Java and Bali. Some of my friends work as drivers and employees in shops. Some go to college, like my friend Ine. She studied at the best university in Bali. She wants to be a dentist. 

In my family, I have three brothers. I am child number three. Like most young people, my brothers and sisters work outside Flores. My first brother works as an English teacher in Sumatra. The second one works in a hotel, and my younger brother is still in college. I live in the village because I have my own business here.
