1.3 Read the text and answer the question !

When I was a child, I always waited for Independence Day. My father used to ask me to watch a parade together.
We saw it from our front yard. I remember how attractive the parade was.
In the first line of the parade, I saw the people dressed up uniquely. Some people wore Indonesian heroes’
costumes. Some others dressed like local ghosts. They were scary but they were funny, too.
Next, I remembered that a lot of people marched in the second line. They waved a mini Indonesian lag. They
walked around the village and sang the ‘Hari Merdeka’ song. Their singing was accompanied by traditional instruments
like angklung, suling, and rebana.
At last, I also saw that many children rode their bicycles in the parade. They decorated their bicycles creatively.
I always wanted to join the parade but I was too shy. Luckily, I have the chance to join a parade at my school next
week. I am really looking forward to it.
