A Private Conversation
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did
not enjoy it. A young man and young women were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I
got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned around. I looked at the man and the woman
angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. ‘ I can’t
hear a word!’ I said angrily.
‘It’s none of your business,’ the young man said rudely. ‘ this is a private conversation!’

It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunch
time. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. ‘what a day !’
I thought. ‘It’s raining again’ just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. ‘I’ve just arrived by
train,’ she said. ‘I’m coming to see you.’

‘ what are you doing?’ she asked.

Please Send Me a Card

Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and
sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. Then he lent me a book. I
read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Every day I thought about postcards. My
holidays passed quickly, but I did not send any cards to my friends. On the last day, I made a big
decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did
not write a single card !.

baris, tapi saya tidak mengerti sepatah kata pun. Setiap hari saya memikirkan kartu pos. Liburan
saya berlalu dengan cepat, tapi saya tidak mengirim kartu ke teman saya. Pada hari terakhir saya

menghabiskan sepanjang hari di kamarku, tapi aku tidak menulis satu kartu pun!

detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield. Two

The Best and The worst

Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for “
the nicest garden competition” each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith’s garden is larger than
Joe’s. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetable, but Joe’s garden is
more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like
gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter the garden competition too, and I
always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town.

mengikuti lomba kebun juga, dan saya selalu memenangkan hadiah kecil untuk taman terburuk di
kota.

Do You Speak English?

I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the
south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to
me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said
good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. A part from a
few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I
had nearly reached the town . When the young man suddenly said, very slowly, do
you speak English? As I soon learnt, he was English himself!

Di tengah jalan, seorang pemuda melambai padaku. Aku berhenti dan dia meminta
tumpangan. Begitu dia masuk ke mobil, saya mengucapkan selamat pagi
kepadanya dalam bahasa Prancis dan dia menjawab dengan bahasa yang sama.
Sebagian dari beberapa kata, saya sama sekali tidak mengenal bahasa Prancis.
Tak satu pun dari kami berbicara selama perjalanan. Aku hampir sampai di kota.

Lesson 16 A polite request

If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if
he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes
very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car:‘Sir, we welcome you to our city.
This is a“No Parking”area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This
note is only a reminder. ’If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!

My aunt Jennifer is an actress. She must be at least thirty-five years old. In spite of this, she often
appears on the stage as a young girl. Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon. This time, she
will be a girl of seventeen. In the play, she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.
Last year in another play, she had to wear short socks and a bright, orange-coloured dress. If anyone
ever asks her how old she is, she always answers, ‘Darling, it must be terrible to be grown up!’

Lesson 18 He often does this!

After I had had lunch at a village pub, I looked for my bag. I had left it on a chair beside the door and
now it wasn't there! As I was looking for it, the landlord came in. ‘Did you have a good meal?’ he
asked. ‘Yes, thank you, ’I answered, ‘but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag. ’The landlord smiled
and immediately went out. In a few minutes he returned with my bag and gave it back to me. ‘I'm
very sorry,’ he said. ‘My dog had taken it into the garden. He often does this!’

Pelajaran 18 Dia sering melakukan ini!

Setelah makan siang di pub desa, saya mencari tas saya. Saya telah meninggalkannya di kursi di
samping pintu dan sekarang tidak ada di sana! Ketika saya mencarinya, tuan tanah masuk. "Apakah
Anda makan enak?" Tanyanya. "Ya, terima kasih," aku menjawab, "tapi aku tidak bisa membayar
tagihan. Saya belum punya tas. 'Pemilik rumah tersenyum dan segera keluar. Dalam beberapa menit
dia kembali dengan tas saya dan mengembalikannya kepada saya. "Aku sangat menyesal," katanya.

Lesson 19 Sold out

‘The play may begin at any moment,’ I said. ‘It may have begun already,’ Susan answered. I hurried to
the ticket office. ‘May I have two tickets please? ’I asked. ‘I'm sorry, we've sold out,’ the girl said.
‘What a pity! ’Susan exclaimed. Just then, a man hurried to the ticket office. ‘Can I return these two
tickets?’ he asked. ‘Certainly,’ the girl said. I went back to the ticket office at once. ‘Could I have those
two tickets please?’ I asked. ‘Certainly,’ the girl said, ‘but they're for next Wednesday's performance.
Do you still want them?’ ‘I might as well have them,’ I said sadly.

"Bisakah saya mengembalikan dua tiket ini?" Tanyanya. "Tentu saja," kata gadis itu. Saya kembali ke
kantor tiket sekaligus. "Tolong, bisakah saya memiliki dua tiket itu?" Saya bertanya. "Tentu saja," kata
gadis itu, "tapi itu untuk penampilan Rabu depan. Apakah Anda masih menginginkannya? "" Saya
mungkin juga memilikinya, "kataku sedih.

Lesson 20 One man in a boat

Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry
me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even
less lucky. I never catch anything ---- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the
river, I always go home with an empty bag. ‘You must give up fishing!’ my friends say. ‘It's a waste of
time. ’ But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only
interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!

Pelajaran 20 Seorang pria di kapal

Memancing adalah olahraga favorit saya. Saya sering memancing berjam-jam tanpa menangkap apa
pun. Tapi ini tidak membuatku khawatir. Beberapa nelayan tidak beruntung. Alih-alih menangkap
ikan, mereka menangkap sepatu bot tua dan sampah. Saya bahkan kurang beruntung. Saya tidak
pernah menangkap apa pun ---- bahkan sepatu bot tua. Setelah menghabiskan seluruh pagi di
sungai, saya selalu pulang dengan tas kosong. "Kamu harus menyerah memancing!" Kata teman-
temanku. ‘Buang-buang waktu. "Tapi mereka tidak menyadari satu hal penting. Saya tidak begitu
tertarik memancing. Saya hanya tertarik duduk di atas kapal dan tidak melakukan apa-apa!

however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood.
He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner', he said. Then he spoke
slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I
looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn
English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each man speaks a different language. The English understand

 They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I
think young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My
sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my
room yesterday.
'What are you doing?' she asked.
'I'm hanging this picture on the wall'. I answered.
It's a new one. Do you like it?'
She looked at it critically for a moment. 'It's all right', she said, 'but isn't it upside - down?'.
I looked at it again. She was right! It was..

26. The Beast Art Critics

Anonim 10:09 Bahasa Inggris, Konsep Baru 0 Komentar
Saya seorang mahasiswa seni dan saya melukis banyak gambar. Banyak orang berpura-pura
memahami seni modern. Mereka selalu memberi tahu Anda apa gambar 'tentang'. Tentu saja, banyak
gambar yang bukan tentang apa-apa. Itu hanya pola yang cantik. Kami menyukai mereka dengan
cara yang sama seperti kami menyukai bahan gorden yang cantik. Saya pikir anak kecil sering
menghargai gambar modern lebih baik daripada orang lain. Mereka lebih memperhatikan. Adik saya
baru berusia tujuh tahun, tetapi dia selalu memberi tahu saya apakah gambar saya bagus atau tidak.
Dia datang ke kamarku kemarin.
'Apa yang sedang kamu lakukan?' dia bertanya.
'Aku menggantung gambar ini di dinding'. Aku menjawab.
Itu yang baru. Apakah kamu menyukainya?'
Dia memandangnya kritis sejenak. "Tidak apa-apa," katanya, "tetapi bukankah itu terbalik - turun?".
Saya melihatnya lagi. Dia benar! Dulu..

Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field. As soon as this was done, they
cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the food smelt good. After a wonderful
meal, they told stories and sang songs by the camp fire. But some time later it began to rain. The boys
felt tired so they put out the fire and crept into their tent. Their sleeping - bags were warm and
comfortable, so they all slept soundly. In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began
shouting. The tent was full of water! They all leapt out of their sleep-bags and hurried outside. it was
raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field. The stream wound its way
across the field and then flowed right

Menjelang sore, anak-anak itu meletakkan tenda mereka di tengah lapangan. Begitu ini selesai,
mereka memasak makanan di atas api terbuka. Mereka semua lapar dan makanan berbau enak.
Setelah makan yang lezat, mereka bercerita dan menyanyikan lagu-lagu di dekat api unggun. Tetapi
beberapa waktu kemudian hujan mulai turun. Anak-anak lelaki merasa lelah sehingga mereka
memadamkan api dan merangkak ke tenda mereka. Kantong tidur mereka hangat dan nyaman,
sehingga mereka semua tidur nyenyak. Di tengah malam, dua anak laki-laki bangun dan mulai
 berteriak. Tenda itu penuh air! Mereka semua melompat keluar dari kantong tidur dan bergegas
keluar. hujan deras dan mereka menemukan bahwa aliran telah terbentuk di lapangan. Aliran
memotong jalan melintasi lapangan dan kemudian mengalir ke kanan

Jasper White is one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths. He has just bought a new
house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had trouble with motorist. When he returns
home at night, he always find that some one has parked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has
not been able to get his own car into his garage even once. Jasper has put up 'No Parking' signs out
side his gate, but these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. It is
one of the ugliest face I have ever seen. I asked him what is was and he told me that it was Medusa,
the Gorgon. Jasper hopes that she will turn motorist to stone. But none of them has been turned to
stone yet.

28. Tidak Ada Parkir!

Jasper White adalah salah satu dari orang-orang langka yang percaya pada mitos kuno. Dia baru
saja membeli rumah baru di kota, tetapi sejak dia pindah, dia mengalami masalah dengan
pengendara. Ketika dia kembali ke rumah pada malam hari, dia selalu menemukan bahwa seseorang
telah memarkir mobil di luar gerbangnya. Karena itu, ia belum bisa memasukkan mobilnya sendiri
ke garasinya sekalipun. Jasper telah memasang tanda 'No Parking' di samping gerbangnya, tetapi ini
tidak berpengaruh. Sekarang dia telah meletakkan kepala batu jelek di atas gerbang. Itu adalah salah
satu wajah paling jelek yang pernah saya lihat. Saya bertanya apa itu dan dia mengatakan kepada
saya bahwa itu adalah Medusa, Gorgon. Jasper berharap dia akan mengubah pengendara motor
menjadi batu. Tapi belum ada yang berubah menjadi batu.

29. Taxi
Anonymous 10:09 Am English , New Concept 0 Comments
Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service. The 'taxi' is a small
Swiss aeroplane called 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers. The most
surprising thing about it, however, is that can land anywhere : on snow, water, or even a ploughed
field. Captain fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to a lonely village in
the Welsh mountains. Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places.
Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed in a deserted car
park. Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman. The man wanted to fly
to Rockall, a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean, but Captain Fawcett did not take him because the trip
was too dangerous.

Kapten Ben Fawcett telah membeli taksi yang tidak biasa dan telah memulai layanan baru. 'Taksi'
adalah pesawat Swiss kecil yang disebut 'Pilatus Porter'. Pesawat yang luar biasa ini dapat
 mengangkut tujuh penumpang. Namun, hal yang paling mengejutkan tentang hal itu adalah dapat
mendarat di mana saja: di salju, air, atau bahkan ladang yang dibajak. Penumpang pertama Kapten
fawcett adalah seorang dokter yang terbang dari Birmingham ke sebuah desa terpencil di
pegunungan Welsh. Sejak itu, Kapten Fawcett telah menerbangkan penumpang ke banyak tempat
yang tidak biasa. Begitu dia mendarat di atap sebuah blok apartemen dan pada kesempatan lain, dia
mendarat di sebuah taman mobil yang sepi. Kapten Fawcett baru saja menolak permintaan aneh dari
seorang pengusaha. Pria itu ingin terbang ke Rockall, sebuah pulau terpencil di Samudra Atlantik,
tetapi Kapten Fawcett tidak membawanya karena perjalanan itu terlalu berbahaya.

30. Football or Pollo ?

The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my home. I like sitting by the Wayle on fine
afternoons. It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual.
Some children were playing games on the bank and there were some people rowing on the river.
Suddenly, one of children kicked a ball very hard and it went towards passing boat. Some people on
the bank called out to the man in the boat,but he did not hear them. The ball struck him so hard that
he nearly fell into the water. I turned to look at the children, but there weren't any in sight: they had
all run away.
The man laughed when he realized what had happened. He called out to the children and threw the
ball back to the bank

The Wayle adalah sungai kecil yang melintasi taman dekat rumah saya. Saya suka duduk di tepi
Wayle di sore hari yang cerah. Itu hari Minggu yang hangat, jadi saya pergi dan duduk di tepi
sungai seperti biasa.
Beberapa anak sedang bermain game di tepi sungai dan ada beberapa orang yang mendayung di
sungai.
Tiba-tiba, salah satu anak menendang bola dengan sangat keras dan mengarah ke perahu yang
lewat. Beberapa orang di tepi sungai memanggil laki-laki di atas kapal, tetapi dia tidak mendengar
mereka. Bola memukulnya dengan keras sehingga dia hampir jatuh ke air. Saya menoleh untuk
melihat anak-anak, tetapi tidak ada yang terlihat: mereka semua melarikan diri.
Pria itu tertawa ketika dia menyadari apa yang terjadi. Dia memanggil anak-anak dan
melemparkan bola kembali ke bank
