Kata Pengantar
Bahasa Inggris semakin diminati dan dipelajari oleh sebagian besar masyarakat
Indonesia dewasa ini, dari balita, anak-anak, remaja maupun dewasa. Rata-rata
pembelajar tersebut ingin mempelajari percakapan sehari-hari Bahasa Inggris
beserta tata bahasa atau grammar-nya saja dan berharap bisa fasih dalam berbicara
dengan orang luar negeri yang berbahasa Inggris atau Native Speakers. Namun
sebenarnya itu saja tidak cukup untuk berinteraksi secara penuh dengan para Native
Speakers tersebut karena sama dengan halnya di Indonesia, kebanyakan
masyarakat menggunakan bahasa gaul atau yang kita sebut slang language untuk
menunjukkan interaksi percakapan yang asik, luwes dan menarik.
Maka dari itu, buku ini menyuguhkan para pembaca sekalian kajian
pembelajaran bahasa Inggris gaul atau English as a slang language yang disertai
dengan kata-kata konotasi idioms, proverbs atau peribahasa, arti kata-kata beserta
contoh penggunaannya di dalam kalimat. Dengan mempelajari kata, ungkapan-
ungkapan idioms serta proverbs ini nantinya diharapkan bahwa para pembaca setia
dapat mahir berbahasa Inggris secara lebih interaktif dan kaya akan
perbendaharaan kata baru, sehingga dapat mengimbangi lawan bicara yang
notabene seorang Native Speakers.
Buku ini diusung di dalam tema-tema yang menarik, yang dekat dengan
kehidupan kita sehari-hari. Dengan ringkasan tata bahasa atau grammar di akhir
bagian, diharapkan para pembaca yang selalu up-to-date dapat lebih mahir dalam
struktur kebahasaan Inggris yang akan menunjang kemampuan dan prestasi
akademis nantinya.
Akhir kata penulis mengucapkan terimakasih atas perhatian dan kesediaannya.
Semoga sukses selalu beserta kita semua, karena salah satu peribahasa atau
proverbs menyatakan: “When there’s a will, there’ll be a way”, yang artinya dimana
ada kemauan, di situ ada jalan.

to spray it with water before I could head to school.
(Tentu saja. Pagi ini kulihat kaca mobilku penuh embun. Aku harus menyemprotnya
dengan air sebelum berangkat ke sekolah)
Ann: Who would have thought it could be this cold in early December, especially in
California.
(Siapa yang mengira sedingin ini di awal Desember, khususnya di California)

morning. I was freezing as soon as I got out of bed. The cold weather just hit me by

umbrella trying not to get wet.
(Oh, menyedihkan sekali. Kelasku penuh sekali hari ini. Untuk berjalan dari kelas ke
kelas, aku harus menenteng buku dan payungku, agar tidak basah)

(Kamu membawa terlalu banyak buku. Kenapa tidak meninggalkan sebagian di

lokermu?)

carry all my books with me. Is it going to rain hard or just drizzle?

aku membawa semua bukuku. Apakah hujan akan turun deras atau hanya

do you want me to send you a bill?
(Saya pikir ini investasi yang bagus. Apakah Anda akan membayar dengan kartu
kredit sekarang atau apakah Anda ingin saya mengirimi Anda tagihan?)
Page 103 of 256

Lisa: Send me a bill, please.
(Kirimkan saya tagihan)

Karen: One last thing before I let you go, I need your address please.
(Satu hal lagi sebelum saya membiarkan Anda pergi, saya butuh alamat Anda.)
Lisa: 995 Silver Lake Street in Long Beach.
Karen: OK, it is all set. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
(OK, sudah siap. Apakah ada hal lain yang bisa saya bantu hari ini?)
Lisa: No. Thank you for your help.
(Tidak. Terimakasih atas bantuannya)

Karen: You are welcome. Have a nice day!
(Sama-sama. Semoga harimu menyenangkan!)
4. AN AFTERNOON AT THE PARK
Situation: Every year, Rooster Run, a country music band holds a concert at
Silverado park.
(Situasi: Setiap tahun, Rooster Run, sebuah band musik country mengadakan
konser di taman Silverado.)
Alex and his two friends are heading toward the park to attend the concert.
(Alex dan dua temannya sedang menuju taman untuk menghadiri konser.)
Alex: Hey Jane, John, there is a musical concert in the park. You want to go see the
band play?
(Hei Jane, John, ada konser musik di taman. Kamu ingin pergi melihat band
bermain?)
Jane: I am done with my homework; I can go.
(Aku sudah selesai dengan pekerjaan rumahku; Aku bisa pergi.)

John: Me too. Let’s go.
Page 104 of 256
(Aku juga. Ayo.)
Jane: Hey, look at that sport car. Isn’t it neat?
(Hei, lihat mobil sport itu. Bukankah itu keren?)

Alex: That is exactly the kind of car that I want once I get a good job. I bet it is very
fast. I want mine to be red though.
(Itulah jenis mobil yang aku inginkan begitu mendapatkan pekerjaan yang baik. Aku
yakin itu sangat cepat. Aku ingin punyaku berwarna merah.)
Jane: Keep on dreaming, Alex. That car costs a fortune.
(Terus bermimpi, Alex. Mobil itu berharga mahal.)

Alex: It does not hurt to set high expectations. Maybe one day I will make a lot of
money, and I might surprise you.
(Tidak ada salahnya untuk menetapkan harapan yang tinggi. Mungkin suatu hari
aku akan menghasilkan banyak uang, dan aku mungkin akan mengejutkanmu.)
John: Talking about cars, why is the traffic so heavy today?
(Berbicara tentang mobil, mengapa lalu lintas sangat padat hari ini?)
Alex: People are probably heading toward the park for the concert. The band
does play pretty good music.
(Orang-orang mungkin menuju taman untuk konser. Band ini memainkan musik
yang cukup bagus.)
Jane: Yes, it does. For the last three years, I have never missed the concert. I
have always arranged my schedule so that I could attend the event once the
band was in town.
(Ya, benar. Selama tiga tahun terakhir, saya tidak pernah melewatkan konser.
Saya selalu mengatur jadwal saya sehingga saya bisa menghadiri acara
begitu band itu ada di kota.)
John: How long ago did the band start playing at our park?
(Berapa lama band itu mulai bermain di taman kita?)

Jane: I think it started this tradition five years ago before you moved into our
neighborhood.
Page 105 of 256

Every year it always arrives the first week of June to play for the whole week.
(Saya pikir ini memulai tradisi ini lima tahun lalu sebelum kamu pindah ke lingkungan
kami. Setiap tahun selalu tiba minggu pertama bulan Juni untuk bermain sepanjang
minggu.)
Alex: You will enjoy this evening, John. There will be good Country music, a lot of
stomping around, and definitely a lot of hollering.
(Kamu akan menikmati malam ini, John. Akan ada musik Country yang bagus,
banyak menghentak, dan pasti banyak berteriak.)
John: It sounds like fun.
(Kedengarannya menyenangkan)
Jane: My favorite is Rock and Roll music; however, I have to say that country
melodies can be quite enticing. I can listen to them all day long.
(Favoritku adalah musik Rock and Roll; Namun, aku harus mengatakan bahwa
melodi negara bisa sangat menarik. Aku dapat mendengarkan mereka sepanjang
hari.)
Alex: John, what kind of music do you like?
(John, jenis musik apa yang kamu suka?)

John: Oh, I like all kinds of music as long as it is not Hard Rock.
(Oh, saya suka semua jenis musik selama itu bukan Hard Rock.)
Jane: Wow, look at the number of people who have already shown up for the
concert. Good thing that we are here already.
(Wow, lihat jumlah orang yang sudah muncul untuk konser. Untung kita sudah
di sini.)
Alex: Jane, where do you want to sit? In the shade or in the sun?
(Jane, kamu ingin duduk di mana? Di tempat teduh atau di bawah sinar matahari?)
Jane: In the shade, please. I have been in the sun too much lately.
(Di tempat teduh, ya. Aku telah berada di bawah sinar matahari akhir-akhir ini.)
John: There is a food stand over there. Do you two want anything?
(Ada kedai makanan di sana. Apakah Anda berdua menginginkan sesuatu?)

Page 106 of 256
Jane: Nothing for me, thanks. I already have my bottle of water.
(Tidak ada untuk saya, terima kasih. Saya sudah punya sebotol air.)
Alex: I want a bag of chips and a soda. Are you sure you do not want any chips,
Jane?
(Aku ingin sekantong keripik dan soda. Apakah kamu yakin tidak ingin chip, Jane?)
Jane: I am quite sure. Besides, my mother is cooking a good steak dinner, and I
want to save my appetite.
(Aku yakin sekali. Selain itu, ibuku sedang memasak makan malam steak yang
enak, dan aku ingin menyisakan selera makanku.)
Alex: Jane, you are so lucky to have such a good cook for a mother. John, you
have to taste her cream cakes one of these days. You cannot find better cream
cakes anywhere in this town.
(Jane, kamu sangat beruntung memiliki koki yang baik untuk seorang ibu. John,
kamu harus mencicipi kue krimnya beberapa hari ini. Anda tidak dapat
menemukan kue krim yang lebih baik di mana saja di kota ini.)
Jane: I know we will have cream cake for dessert this evening. I will save you a
piece if you want, John.
(Aku tahu kita akan makan kue krim untuk hidangan penutup malam ini. Aku
akan menyelamatkanmu jika kamu mau, John.)
John: I always love cake, so please save me a piece. Thanks, Jane.
(Aku selalu suka kue, jadi tolong sisakan sepotong. Terima kasih, Jane.)
Jane: How about you, Alex? A piece of cake for you too?
(Bagaimana denganmu, Alex? Sepotong kue untukmu juga?)

Alex: You know I will say yes to a piece of your mother’s cream cake any day.
(Kau tahu aku akan mengatakan ya untuk sepotong kue krim milik ibumu setiap
hari.)
Jane: OK, I will save two pieces of cream cake for both of you tonight. We can
meet at the cafeteria at lunch time tomorrow and I will give them to you.
Page 107 of 256

(OK, saya akan menyimpan dua potong kue krim untuk Anda berdua malam
ini. Kita bisa bertemu di kantin saat makan siang besok dan saya akan
memberikannya kepada Anda.)
John: Alex, you better get your chips and soda now if you still want them. It is
almost 3:00PM, and the concert is about to start.
(Alex, lebih baik kamu makan keripik dan soda sekarang jika masih
menginginkannya. Hampir pukul 15:00, dan konser akan segera)
Alex: For the last time, do you guys want anything?
(Untuk terakhir kalinya, kalian mau sesuatu?)

Jane: I am sure I do not want anything, Alex. I am doing fine.
(Tidak, Alex. Terimakasih)

John: Me neither, Alex.
(Aku juga tidak, Alex)

Alex: OK, save me a seat. I will be right back.
(Ok. Sisakan aku tempat. Aku akan kembali)
5. WEEKEND PLANS
Situation: Laurie, Christie, and Sarah are making plans for the coming weekend.
(Situasi: Laurie, Christie, dan Sarah membuat rencana untuk akhir pekan
mendatang.)
Laurie: So, what are your plans for this weekend?
(Jadi, apa rencanamu di akhir pekan ini?)

Christie: I don’t know. Do you want to get together or something?
Christie: Saya tidak tahu. Apakah Anda ingin bersama atau sesuatu?
Sarah: How about going to see a movie? Cinemax 26 on Carson Boulevard
is showing Enchanted.
Page 108 of 256

Sarah: Bagaimana kalau pergi menonton film? Cinemax 26 di Carson Boulevard
menampilkan film Enchanted.
Laurie: That sounds like a good idea. Maybe we should go out to eat beforehand.
Laurie: Kedengarannya itu ide yang bagus. Mungkin kita harus pergi makan dulu.
Sarah: It is fine with me. Where do you want to meet?
Sarah: Tidak apa-apa dengan saya. Di mana Anda ingin bertemu?

Christie: Let’s meet at Summer Pizza House. I have not gone there for a long time.
Christie: Mari bertemu di Summer Pizza House. Saya tidak pergi ke sana untuk
waktu yang lama.
Laurie: Good idea again. I heard they just came up with a new pizza. It should be
good because Summer Pizza House always has the best pizza in town.
Laurie: Ide bagus lagi. Kudengar mereka baru saja membuat pizza baru. Itu harus
bagus karena Summer Pizza House selalu memiliki pizza terbaik di kota.
Sarah: When should we meet?
Sarah: Kapan kita bertemu?

Christie: Well, the movie is shown at 2:00PM, 4:00PM, 6:00PM and 8:00PM.
Christie: Yah, filmnya ditayangkan jam 2 siang, jam 4 sore, jam 6 sore dan jam 8
malam.
Laurie: Why don’t we go to the 2:00PM show? We can meet at Summer Pizza
House at noon.
That will give us plenty of time to enjoy our pizza.
Laurie: Mengapa kita tidak pergi ke pertunjukan jam 2 siang? Kita bisa bertemu di
Summer Pizza House pada siang hari.
Itu akan memberi kita banyak waktu untuk menikmati pizza kita.
Sarah: My cousin Karen is in town. Can I bring her along? I hate to leave her home
alone.
Sarah: Sepupuku Karen ada di kota. Bisakah saya membawanya bersama? Saya
benci meninggalkan rumahnya sendirian.
Christie: Karen is in town? Yes, bring her along. Laurie, you remember Karen?
We met her at Sara’s high school graduation party two years ago.
Page 109 of 256
Christie: Karen ada di kota? Ya, bawa dia. Laurie, kamu ingat Karen? Kami bertemu
dengannya di pesta kelulusan sekolah menengah Sara dua tahun lalu.
Laurie: I do not quite remember her. What does she look like?
Laurie: Saya tidak begitu ingat dia. Dia terlihat seperti apa?
Sarah: She has blond hair, she is kind of slender, and she is about your height.
Sarah: Dia memiliki rambut pirang, dia agak ramping, dan tingginya.
Laurie: She wears eyeglasses, right?
Laurie: Dia memakai kacamata, kan?

Sarah: Yes, and she was playing the piano off and on during the party.
Sarah: Ya, dan dia sedang bermain piano dan terus selama pesta.
Laurie: I remember her now. Yes, do bring her along Sara. She is such a nice
person, and funny too.
Laurie: Saya ingat dia sekarang. Ya, bawa dia bersama Sara. Dia orang yang baik,
dan juga lucu.
Sarah: She will be happy to meet both of you again.
Sarah: Dia akan senang bertemu Anda berdua lagi.

Christie: What is she doing these days?
Christie: Apa yang dia lakukan belakangan ini?

Sarah: She graduated last June, and she will start her teaching career next week
when the new school term begins.
Sarah: Dia lulus Juni lalu, dan dia akan memulai karir mengajarnya minggu depan
ketika masa sekolah baru dimulai.
Laurie: What grade is she going to teach?
Laurie: Kelas berapa yang akan dia ajar?

Sarah: She will teach kindergarten. She loves working with kids, and she
always has such a good rapport with them.
Sarah: Dia akan mengajar taman kanak-kanak. Dia suka bekerja dengan anak-anak,
dan dia selalu memiliki hubungan yang baik dengan mereka.
Page 110 of 256

Christie: Kindergarten? She must be a very patient person. I always think
kindergarten is the most difficult class to teach. Most of the kids have never been
to school, and they have never been away from mommy for long.
Christie: Kindergarten? Dia pasti orang yang sangat sabar. Saya selalu berpikir
bahwa taman kanak-kanak adalah kelas yang paling sulit untuk diajarkan. Sebagian
besar anak-anak tidak pernah bersekolah, dan mereka tidak pernah pergi jauh dari
ibu.
Sarah: I think Karen will do fine. She knows how to handle young children.
Sarah: Saya pikir Karen akan baik-baik saja. Dia tahu cara menangani anak kecil.
Laurie: I think the first few weeks will be tough. However, once the routine is set, it
should not be too difficult to teach kindergarten.
Laurie: Saya pikir beberapa minggu pertama akan sulit. Namun, begitu rutinitas
diatur, seharusnya tidak terlalu sulit untuk mengajar taman kanak-kanak.
Christie: You are right. The kids might even look forward to going to school since
they have so many friends to play with.
Christie: Kamu benar. Anak-anak bahkan berharap dapat pergi ke sekolah karena
mereka memiliki begitu banyak teman untuk bermain bersama.
Sarah: There are so many new things for them to do at school too. They do a
lot of crafts in kindergarten. I am always amazed by the things kindergarten
teachers do.
Sarah: Ada begitu banyak hal baru untuk mereka lakukan di sekolah juga. Mereka
melakukan banyak kerajinan di taman kanak-kanak. Saya selalu kagum dengan hal-
hal yang dilakukan guru TK.
Laurie: Yes, I have seen my niece come home with so many neat stuff.
Laurie: Ya, saya telah melihat keponakan saya pulang dengan begitu banyak barang
bagus.
Christie: Maybe we can ask Karen to show us some of the things that we
can do for this Halloween.
Christie: Mungkin kita bisa meminta Karen untuk menunjukkan kepada kita beberapa
hal yang bisa kita lakukan untuk Halloween ini.
Laurie: Maybe we can stop by the craft store after the movie. What do you think,
Sara?
Page 111 of 256
Laurie: Mungkin kita bisa mampir ke toko kerajinan setelah menonton film.
Bagaimana menurutmu, Sara?
Sarah: I will talk to her. I think she will like that. It will help her with school
projects when Halloween comes.
Sarah: Saya akan berbicara dengannya. Saya pikir dia akan menyukainya. Itu akan
membantunya dengan proyek sekolah ketika Halloween datang.
Christie: Michael’s is a good store for crafts. It always carries a variety of things,
and you can find almost anything there.
Christie: Michael adalah toko kerajinan yang bagus. Selalu membawa berbagai hal,
dan Anda dapat menemukan hampir semua hal di sana.
Laurie: There is a Michaels store not far away from Cinemax 26. I believe it is just
around the corner, on Pioneer Avenue. We can even walk over there.
Laurie: Ada toko Michaels tidak jauh dari Cinemax 26. Saya percaya itu hanya
sekitar sudut, di Pioneer Avenue. Kita bahkan bisa berjalan ke sana.
Sarah: So, we plan to meet for pizza at noon, go to the movies at two, and shop
at Michael’s afterward. Right?
Sarah: Jadi, kami berencana untuk bertemu pizza di siang hari, pergi ke bioskop jam
dua, dan berbelanja di Michael sesudahnya. Benar?
Laurie and Christie: Yes.
Laurie dan Christie: Ya.

6. WINTER BREAK PLANS
Situation: Mike is discussing plans for Winter break with his friend Brendan
while they are driving home from their basketball game.
Situasi: Mike sedang mendiskusikan rencana untuk liburan Musim Dingin dengan
temannya, Brendan, saat mereka berkendara pulang dari pertandingan basket
mereka.
Brendan: Hey Mike, throw your stuff in the back and ride up front with me.
Brendan: Hei Mike, lempar barang-barangmu di belakang dan naik ke depan

bersamaku.
Mike: OK, Brendan. Thank you for giving me a ride home. I did not want to call my
parents because they were at Mimi’s Café for my aunt’s birthday.
Mike: OK, Brendan. Terima kasih sudah memberi saya tumpangan pulang. Saya
tidak ingin menelepon orang tua saya karena mereka berada di Mimi’s Café untuk
ulang tahun tante saya.
Brendan: Mimi’s Café? That place has the best burgers in town! The atmosphere is
also nice. Good food and a good setting, what more could you ask for? We should
eat there after our next basketball game.
Brendan: Mimi’s Café? Tempat itu memiliki burger terbaik di kota! Suasananya juga
bagus. Makanan enak dan pengaturan yang bagus, apa lagi yang bisa Anda minta?
Kita harus makan di sana setelah pertandingan basket kita berikutnya.
Mike: Yes, that sounds like a good plan. When is our next game by the way?
Mike: Ya, itu kedengarannya seperti rencana yang bagus. Kapan pertandingan kita
selanjutnya?
Brendan: I think it is after Winter break, which is a long way off. Do you have any
plans set up for the upcoming vacation?
Brendan: Saya pikir ini setelah musim dingin, yang masih jauh. Apakah Anda punya
rencana untuk liburan yang akan datang?
Mike: Well, besides going to basketball practices with you, I will most likely be
working.
Page 113 of 256

Mike: Baiklah, selain berlatih basket bersama Anda, kemungkinan besar saya akan
bekerja.
Brendan: Oh, working? Did you get a new job or are you still working at Starbucks?
Brendan: Oh, bekerja? Apakah Anda mendapat pekerjaan baru atau masih bekerja
di Starbucks?
Mike: Well, Starbucks was a good first job for me and I loved the people I worked
with. However, my work schedule was neither convenient nor easy. My manager
would schedule me only during the times when it was most busy, which is in the
morning when there is a constant coffee rush. It was definitely very difficult and a
conflict to my class schedule.
Mike: Yah, Starbucks adalah pekerjaan pertama yang baik untuk saya dan saya
mencintai orang-orang yang bekerja dengan saya. Namun, jadwal kerja saya tidak
mudah dan tidak mudah. Manajer saya akan menjadwalkan saya hanya pada saat-
saat ketika itu paling sibuk, yang ada di pagi hari ketika ada kopi konstan. Itu pasti
sangat sulit dan bentrok dengan jadwal kelasku.
Brendan: Well, what are you doing now at your new job?
Brendan: Nah, apa yang kamu lakukan sekarang di pekerjaan barumu?
Mike: Well, I am an Administrative Assistant for a company called Multi-Max. I

have done a little training, but I do not know what the full job entails. From what I
have seen, it is mostly inputting data into the computer and following up on
customers’ orders.
Mike: Ya, saya adalah Asisten Administrasi untuk perusahaan bernama Multi-Max.
Saya telah melakukan sedikit pelatihan, tetapi saya tidak tahu apa yang dibutuhkan
oleh pekerjaan penuh. Dari apa yang saya lihat, kebanyakan memasukkan data ke
komputer dan menindaklanjuti pesanan pelanggan.
Brendan: Oh, that sounds pretty easy. When did you start this new job?
Brendan: Oh, kedengarannya cukup mudah. Kapan Anda memulai pekerjaan baru
ini?
Mike: I have been with Multi-Max since November 1st. Well what about you? Do
you have any plans for break?
Mike: Saya telah bersama Multi-Max sejak 1 November. Bagaimana denganmu?
Apakah Anda punya rencana untuk istirahat?
Page 114 of 256

Brendan: Not really. I think I am just going to hang out at home and read some
books. I am planning a snowboarding trip though. You should come if you are not
too busy working at your new job.
Brendan: Tidak juga. Saya pikir saya hanya akan nongkrong di rumah dan membaca
beberapa buku. Saya merencanakan perjalanan snowboarding sekalipun. Anda
harus datang jika Anda tidak terlalu sibuk bekerja di pekerjaan baru Anda.
Mike: Oh, that sounds like fun! Who is going and where are you guys
going to go snowboarding?
Mike: Oh, kedengarannya menyenangkan! Siapa yang pergi dan ke mana kalian
akan pergi snowboarding?
Brendan: As of right now, my roommates, Jay and Kristian, are planning to go.
And, there are Josh, Alexis, and Ann. We are planning to go to Big Bear. I hear that
there are pretty good conditions for skiing and snowboarding this season up there.
Brendan: Mulai sekarang, teman sekamarku, Jay dan Kristian, berencana untuk
pergi. Dan, ada Josh, Alexis, dan Ann. Kami berencana untuk pergi ke Big Bear.
Saya mendengar bahwa ada kondisi yang cukup bagus untuk bermain ski dan
snowboarding musim ini di sana.
Mike: Yes, that is what I heard as well. The whole trip sounds like fun. Where are
you guys staying at? Did you rent out a cabin?
Mike: Ya, itulah yang saya dengar juga. Seluruh perjalanan terdengar
menyenangkan. Di mana kalian tinggal? Apakah Anda menyewa kabin?
Brendan: No, we did not. My cousin actually owns a cabin up there, and he said it is
OK for us to stay at his place for the weekend when I spoke with him last Friday.
The cabin is not far away from the ski slopes and the eateries, so it should be a
convenient place.
Brendan: Tidak, kami tidak. Sepupu saya benar-benar memiliki sebuah kabin di
sana, dan dia mengatakan tidak apa-apa bagi kami untuk tinggal di tempatnya
selama akhir pekan ketika saya berbicara dengannya Jumat lalu. Kabin ini tidak jauh
dari lereng ski dan restoran-restoran, jadi itu harus menjadi tempat yang nyaman.
Mike: Would it be OK with your cousin if I come along as well? I am not sure whether
I can go; however, since I am talking to you, I might as well ask now just in case my
schedule permits.
Page 115 of 256

Mike: Apakah baik-baik saja dengan sepupumu jika aku ikut juga? Saya tidak yakin
apakah saya bisa pergi; Namun, karena saya berbicara dengan Anda, saya mungkin
juga bertanya sekarang kalau-kalau jadwal saya memungkinkan.
Brendan: I am sure that will be fine. He did not tell me there is a limit on the number
of people I could bring, so you are more than welcome to join us.
Brendan: Saya yakin itu akan baik-baik saja. Dia tidak memberi tahu saya bahwa
ada batasan jumlah orang yang dapat saya bawa, jadi Anda dipersilahkan untuk
bergabung dengan kami.
Mike: Awesome! I am so excited! Well, I will check my schedule, and I will give
you an update tomorrow. Hey, that is my house on the corner. Thanks again for
the ride, Brendan!
Mike: Luar biasa! Saya sangat bersemangat! Yah, saya akan memeriksa jadwal
saya, dan saya akan memberi Anda pembaruan besok. Hei, itu rumahku di pojok.
Terima kasih lagi untuk perjalanannya, Brendan!
Brendan: You are welcome Mike. Have a good night and I will talk to you later about
the trip.
Brendan: Terima kasih, Mike. Selamat malam dan saya akan berbicara dengan
Anda nanti tentang perjalanan ini.

7. A VISIT TO THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE
Situation: Laura has not been feeling well lately. Today she goes to see her doctor
for a physical checkup.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Good morning, I have an appointment with Doctor Clark at 8:30.
__________________________________________________________________
Clerk: Let me pull your record. In the meantime, please sign-in and have a seat.
__________________________________________________________________
Nurse: Laura Nicholson.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Here.
__________________________________________________________________
Nurse: Follow me to Room A please.
__________________________________________________________________
Nurse: Here we are. What are your reasons for seeing Doctor Clark today?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Well, lately I have been feeling tired, and occasionally I have had really bad
headaches and an upset stomach. On top of that, I have had this persistent cough
for the last two weeks.
__________________________________________________________________
Nurse: When did you start having these symptoms?
__________________________________________________________________
Page 117 of 256
Laura: I started feeling tired about two months ago; then, a little bit after that the
headaches came. I got the upset stomach long before feeling tired.
__________________________________________________________________
Nurse: Are you taking any medications?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Only my vitamins.
__________________________________________________________________
Nurse: What vitamins are you taking?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: I am taking a multi-vitamin tablet and extra Vitamin C every day.
__________________________________________________________________
Nurse: OK, let me take your vital signs.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: How am I doing?
__________________________________________________________________
Nurse: Everything is good—normal blood pressure and no high temperature.
Please wait here for a minute. Doctor Clark will be with you in a moment.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Thank you.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: Good morning, Laura.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Good morning, Doctor.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: I see here that you started feeling tired two months ago, and then you
started having bad headaches. You also have had an upset stomach and a
persistent cough. Did you run a fever too?
Page 118 of 256

__________________________________________________________________
Laura: No, doctor.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: Let me do a quick physical check up.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: Please take a deep breath, hold your breath, and exhale. Do it again please.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: Were there any changes in your diet or your weight lately?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: I ate the usual things, but I lost five pounds recently.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: Did you suffer from insomnia?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Well, it is pretty hard for me to fall asleep when I go to bed. I also woke up
many times during the night.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: Do you drink? Do you smoke?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: No.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: How are things at work?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: There was a change of ownership three months ago, and I had to work a lot
of overtime, even during the weekend.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: It looks like you have pneumonia. Other than that, I do not see any
problems. You are probably under stress from changes at work, and the stress
causes headaches, upset stomach, and sleeplessness. For now, try to relax and
Page 119 of 256
exercise. It may solve your problems. Come back to see me again if the symptoms
persist, and I will do further tests. I am going to give you a prescription for your
pneumonia. Are you allergic to any medications?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Not to my knowledge.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: OK, take this medication three times a day after you eat. Also, I want you to
have some blood tests. Stop by the laboratory on your way out and have the nurse
draw your blood.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: I am anxious to know my cholesterol level. When will I get the results of the
blood test?
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: The results will be available in two weeks. Don’t stress yourself. I think
everything will be OK.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Thank you, Doctor.
__________________________________________________________________
Doctor: You are welcome.

7. KUNJUNGAN KE KANTOR DOKTER
Situasi: Laura belum merasa baik akhir-akhir ini. Hari ini dia pergi menemui dokter
untuk pemeriksaan fisik.
Page 120 of 256

Laura: Selamat pagi, saya punya janji dengan Dokter Clark pada pukul 8:30.
Petugas: Biarkan saya mengambil catatan Anda. Sementara itu, silakan masuk dan
duduk.
Perawat: Laura Nicholson.
Laura: Di sini.
Perawat: Ikuti saya ke Ruang A.
Perawat: Ini dia. Apa alasanmu menemui Dokter Clark hari ini?
Laura: Ya, belakangan ini saya merasa lelah, dan kadang-kadang saya mengalami
sakit kepala yang sangat buruk dan sakit perut. Selain itu, saya mengalami batuk
terus-menerus selama dua minggu terakhir.
Perawat: Kapan Anda mulai mengalami gejala-gejala ini?
Laura: Saya mulai merasa lelah sekitar dua bulan yang lalu; kemudian, sedikit
setelah itu sakit kepala datang. Saya mendapat sakit perut lama sebelum merasa
lelah.
Perawat: Apakah Anda mengonsumsi obat apa pun?
Laura: Hanya vitamin saya.
Page 121 of 256

Perawat: Vitamin apa yang Anda minum?
Laura: Saya mengonsumsi tablet multi-vitamin dan tambahan vitamin C setiap hari.
Perawat: OK, biarkan saya mengambil tanda-tanda vital Anda.
Laura: Bagaimana saya melakukannya?
Perawat: Semuanya baik — tekanan darah normal dan tidak ada suhu tinggi. Tolong
tunggu di sini sebentar. Dokter Clark akan bersamamu sebentar lagi.
Laura: Terima kasih.
Dokter: Selamat pagi, Laura.
Laura: Selamat pagi, Dokter.
Dokter: Saya melihat di sini bahwa Anda mulai merasa lelah dua bulan yang lalu,
dan kemudian Anda mulai mengalami sakit kepala yang parah. Anda juga
mengalami sakit perut dan batuk terus-menerus. Apakah Anda demam juga?
Laura: Tidak, dokter.
Dokter: Biarkan saya melakukan pemeriksaan fisik cepat.
Page 122 of 256

Dokter: Tolong tarik napas dalam-dalam, tahan napas, dan hembuskan napas.
Tolong lakukan lagi.
Dokter: Apakah ada perubahan dalam diet atau berat badan Anda belakangan ini?
Laura: Saya makan hal-hal yang biasa, tetapi saya baru saja kehilangan lima pon.
Dokter: Apakah Anda menderita insomnia?
Laura: Ya, sangat sulit bagi saya untuk tertidur ketika saya pergi tidur. Saya juga
sering bangun di malam hari.
Dokter: Apakah kamu minum? Anda merokok?
Laura: Tidak.
Dokter: Bagaimana keadaan di tempat kerja?
Laura: Ada perubahan kepemilikan tiga bulan yang lalu, dan saya harus bekerja
lembur, bahkan selama akhir pekan.
Dokter: Sepertinya Anda menderita pneumonia. Selain itu, saya tidak melihat ada
masalah. Anda mungkin sedang stres akibat perubahan di tempat kerja, dan stres
menyebabkan sakit kepala, sakit perut, dan sulit tidur. Untuk saat ini, cobalah untuk
bersantai dan berolahraga. Ini dapat memecahkan masalah Anda. Kembalilah untuk
melihat saya lagi jika gejalanya menetap, dan saya akan melakukan tes lebih lanjut.
Saya akan memberi Anda resep untuk pneumonia Anda. Apakah Anda alergi
terhadap obat apa pun?
Page 123 of 256
Laura: Tidak sepengetahuan saya.
Dokter: OK, minum obat ini tiga kali sehari setelah Anda makan. Juga, saya ingin
Anda memiliki beberapa tes darah. Berhenti di laboratorium saat jalan keluar dan
suruh perawat mengambil darah Anda.
Laura: Saya ingin tahu tingkat kolesterol saya. Kapan saya akan mendapatkan hasil
tes darah?
Dokter: Hasilnya akan tersedia dalam dua minggu. Jangan memaksakan diri. Saya
pikir semuanya akan baik-baik saja.
Laura: Terima kasih, Dokter.
Dokter: Sama-sama.
8. GOING TO THE MARKET
Situation: Laura’s mother had asked her to go grocery shopping before she went
to work this morning. Since Laura is still busy with her homework, she asks her
sister Martha to go to the market for her.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Mom had asked me to go grocery shopping before she left for work this
morning, but I need to finish my school project. Can you go for me, Martha?
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: I guess I can. I am done with my homework. What did mom want you to
buy?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Well, she wanted me to buy enough groceries for the whole week. Besides
meat, some fish and vegetables, we can buy whatever else we want for snacks
and breakfast.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: What do you want for breakfast?
__________________________________________________________________
Page 124 of 256

Laura: I guess some cereal as usual.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: I do not want cereal everyday. I will buy some pancakes and syrup then.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Get the new FineFood pancakes in the frozen food section please. I want
to see how it tastes.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: Do we still have enough coffee and cream for mom and dad?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Yes, we do. Talking about coffee and cream, you better buy some milk also.
We almost ran out of it.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: Next, what do you want for snacks?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Some chips would be fine with me. You probably want your chocolate
cookies.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: I better write down all these things; otherwise, I will forget them by the time I
get to the market. I would hate to make two trips to take care of things.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Right! As far as meat, mom wants some pork and some chicken.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: Just any kind of pork?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: I forgot to ask mom about that. Anyways, you can ask the butcher for his
opinion. He knows what is best.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: How about fish?
Page 125 of 256
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Mom wants some salmon and some catfish. Make sure that they are fresh.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: How much salmon and catfish should I buy?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Oh, buy four pieces of salmon filet and four pieces of catfish filet. Mom does
not like to get the whole fish.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: Are these fish filets sold by weight or by the piece?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: I am not very sure. Just buy four decent sized pieces. Not too big and not too
small.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: Do I need to buy some spices so mom can marinate the fish?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Yes, get some ground pepper and some garlic.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: Now, how about vegetables? Mom probably wants carrots, potatoes,
cabbages and some lettuce.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: That would be fine. We need some fruits also. What do you want?
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: Dad always packs an apple for lunch everyday. I want the same thing.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: We have already run out of eggs. So, get a carton of eggs also.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: How about some soft drinks?
Page 126 of 256
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: No, buy some bottled water instead. It is healthier for us. We need to cut
down on our intake of sugar, as too much sugar is not good for our bodies.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: I need to put bread on the list before I forget. Should I get one loaf or two?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: One loaf will be enough. Put down a bag of rice also.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: Do we need anything for dessert?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Get a box of ice cream.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: Ice cream? Isn’t ice cream packed with sugar?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Yes, but since I already drink water instead of soft drinks, one or perhaps
two scoops of ice cream after dinner is not too bad. Besides, mom loves ice cream,
especially cherry vanilla.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: OK, I will put down one box of ice cream if you say so. Do you want me to
buy some pastries for you?
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: I know the pastries at the market are delicious; however, no is my answer.
Do not tempt me, Martha.
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: Just asking, Laura.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: You have quite a few items to take care of. You need to get going.
__________________________________________________________________
Page 127 of 256
Martha: Yes, the list is quite long. By the time I get to the cashier to pay, I will
probably have a full shopping cart. OK, I am all set to go. I will be back soon.
__________________________________________________________________
Laura: Drive carefully please!
__________________________________________________________________
Martha: I will.

8. PERGI KE PASAR
Situasi: Ibu Laura telah memintanya untuk berbelanja bahan makanan sebelum
berangkat bekerja pagi ini. Karena Laura masih sibuk dengan pekerjaan rumahnya,
dia meminta kakaknya Martha untuk pergi ke pasar untuknya.
Laura: Ibu telah memintaku berbelanja bahan makanan sebelum berangkat kerja
pagi ini, tapi aku harus menyelesaikan proyek sekolahku. Bisakah kamu pergi
untukku, Martha?
Martha: Saya rasa saya bisa. Saya selesai dengan pekerjaan rumah saya. Apa yang
ibu ingin kamu beli?
Laura: Ya, dia ingin saya membeli bahan makanan yang cukup untuk seminggu
penuh. Selain daging, beberapa ikan dan sayuran, kita dapat membeli apa pun yang
kita inginkan untuk camilan dan sarapan.
Martha: Apa yang kamu inginkan untuk sarapan?
Page 128 of 256

Laura: Saya kira beberapa sereal seperti biasa.
Martha: Saya tidak ingin sereal setiap hari. Saya akan membeli beberapa pancake
dan sirup.
Laura: Dapatkan pancake FineFood baru di bagian makanan beku. Saya ingin
melihat bagaimana rasanya.
Martha: Apakah kita masih punya kopi dan krim yang cukup untuk ibu dan ayah?
Laura: Ya, kami tahu. Berbicara tentang kopi dan krim, lebih baik Anda membeli
susu juga. Kami hampir kehabisan itu.
Martha: Selanjutnya, apa yang Anda inginkan untuk camilan?
Laura: Beberapa keripik saya mau. Anda mungkin ingin cookie cokelat?
Martha: Saya lebih baik menuliskan semua hal ini; jika tidak, saya akan
melupakannya pada saat saya masuk ke pasar. Saya tidak suka membuat dua
perjalanan untuk mengurus sesuatu.
Laura: Benar! Selain daging, ibu ingin ayam.
Martha: Jenis daging apa saja?
Laura: Saya lupa bertanya pada ibu tentang itu. Ngomong-ngomong, Anda bisa
bertanya pada tukang daging untuk pendapatnya. Dia tahu yang terbaik.
Page 129 of 256
Martha: Bagaimana dengan ikan?
Laura: Ibu ingin salmon dan beberapa ikan lele. Pastikan mereka segar.
Martha: Berapa banyak ikan salmon dan lele yang harus saya beli?
Laura: Oh, beli empat potong filet salmon dan empat potong filet ikan lele. Ibu tidak
suka mendapatkan ikan utuh.
Martha: Apakah filet ikan ini dijual berat atau dengan potongan?
Laura: Saya tidak terlalu yakin. Beli saja empat buah ukuran yang layak. Tidak
terlalu besar dan tidak terlalu kecil.
Martha: Apakah saya perlu membeli beberapa bumbu agar ibu dapat mengasinkan
ikan?
Laura: Ya, ambilkan lada dan bawang putih.
Martha: Sekarang, bagaimana dengan sayuran? Ibu mungkin menginginkan wortel,

kentang, kubis dan selada.
Laura: Itu akan baik-baik saja. Kami membutuhkan beberapa buah juga. Apa yang
kamu inginkan?
Martha: Ayah selalu mengemas apel untuk makan siang setiap hari. Saya
menginginkan hal yang sama.
Page 130 of 256
Laura: Kami sudah kehabisan telur. Jadi, dapatkan sekotak telur juga.
Martha: Bagaimana dengan minuman ringan?
Laura: Tidak, beli air botolan saja. Lebih sehat bagi kita. Kita perlu mengurangi
asupan gula kita, karena terlalu banyak gula tidak baik untuk tubuh kita.
Martha: Saya harus memasukkan roti ke dalam daftar sebelum saya lupa. Haruskah
saya mendapatkan satu atau dua roti?
Laura: Satu roti saja sudah cukup. Letakkan sekantung beras juga.
Martha: Apakah kita butuh sesuatu untuk pencuci mulut?
Laura: Dapatkan sekotak es krim.
Martha: Es krim? Bukankah es krim dikemas dengan gula?
Laura: Ya, tapi karena saya sudah minum air, bukan minuman ringan, satu atau dua
sendok es krim setelah makan malam tidak terlalu buruk. Selain itu, ibu suka es
krim, terutama ceri vanila.
Martha: OK, saya akan meletakkan satu kotak es krim jika Anda berkata begitu.
Apakah Anda ingin saya membeli beberapa kue untuk Anda?
Page 131 of 256

Laura: Saya tahu kue-kue di pasar itu lezat; Namun, tidak ada jawaban saya.
Jangan goda aku, Martha.
Martha: Hanya bertanya, Laura.
Laura: Anda memiliki beberapa hal untuk diurus. Anda harus pergi.
Martha: Ya, daftarnya cukup panjang. Pada saat saya sampai ke kasir untuk
membayar, saya mungkin akan memiliki keranjang belanja penuh. OK, saya siap
untuk pergi. Saya akan segera kembali.
Laura: Tolong hati-hati!
Martha: Aku akan melakukannya.
9. I NEED HELP!
Situation: Henry is having problems with his homework. His friend Tim is having
problems with building a doll house. They are seeking each other’s help.
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: Henry, what are you doing?
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: I have been trying to solve this physics problem for the last half hour, and I
still have no idea how to do it.
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: When do you have to turn it in?
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: It is due at the end of this week.
Page 132 of 256

__________________________________________________________________
Tim: Well, it is only Monday. Why don’t you get some after-school-tutoring
tomorrow?
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: I have to sign up for it first. I guess I will go sign up for the
Wednesday session tomorrow.
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: You should reread the chapter before you show up for the session. It
will help you understand the subject matter better.
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: OK, I will do that.
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: Now that your problem is solved, I need you to lend me a hand with my
problem.
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: What is up?
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: I need to build a new doll house for Nancy. I was putting her doll house
away, and somehow I accidentally dropped it. It was broken into pieces.
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: How clumsy of you! Does she know?
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: I told her about it. I could not lie to her.
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: How did she take it?
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: My sister really liked that doll house, and obviously she was not very happy.
But, I told her that I would build a better one for her. So, I need your help.
Page 133 of 256

__________________________________________________________________
Henry: Me? Help you? I have never built anything in my life.
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: Me neither. But, don’t worry. Putting together pieces of wood is not going to be
difficult.
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: It is more than just putting pieces of wood together. You need to put in
windows and doors. Have you thought about how you would do that?
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: Who says houses need to have windows and doors?
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: So, you are going to build a doll house with no windows and no doors?
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: Yes, I do not see anything wrong with that. Do you?
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: No. It makes the project easier to handle now. But, are you sure that
Nancy will not mind having a doll house with no doors and no windows?
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: Yes, I am sure.
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: Are you sure that Nancy will find this doll house with no doors and no
windows prettier than the one you broke?
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: No, I am not sure. Why do you have to make things so complicated?
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: I am not trying to complicate things. You did tell Nancy that the new doll
house would be better than the one you broke. I just want to remind you of your
promise.
Page 134 of 256

__________________________________________________________________
Tim: Ah, I wish I have not touched her doll house! What should I do then?
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: Get help from somebody who knows how to build a doll house. I would
not be of any help to you in this project.
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: Who do you suggest I ask?
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: Mr. Brown used to be a carpenter. He will be glad to help you out. Why
don’t you give him a call, and see whether he has some free time.
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: You are right. It will take us forever to build this doll house. With Mr. Brown’s
help, I can finish it in no time.
__________________________________________________________________
Henry: OK, now that your problem is solved, can you help me trim the trees in the
back yard?
__________________________________________________________________
Tim: Who? Me? Trim the trees in your back yard? It will take us ages to trim those
trees. Let’s see who is good at trimming trees. Ah, you can ask Mr. Brown. He is
also good at trimming trees. And, when you ask for his help, please ask him to help
me build a doll house also.
__________________________________________________________________
9. SAYA PERLU BANTUAN!
Page 135 of 256

Situasi: Henry mengalami masalah dengan pekerjaan rumahnya. Temannya Tim
mengalami masalah dengan membangun rumah boneka. Mereka mencari bantuan
satu sama lain.
Tim: Henry, apa yang kamu lakukan?
Henry: Saya telah mencoba memecahkan masalah fisika ini selama setengah jam
terakhir, dan saya masih tidak tahu bagaimana melakukannya.
Tim: Kapan Anda harus menyerahkannya?
Henry: Pada akhir minggu ini.
Tim: Ya, itu hari Senin. Mengapa Anda tidak mendapatkan les setelah sekolah
besok?
Henry: Saya harus mendaftar untuk itu lebih dulu. Saya kira saya akan pergi
mendaftar untuk sesi Rabu besok.
Tim: Anda harus membaca kembali bab sebelum Anda muncul untuk sesi. Ini akan
membantu Anda memahami materi pelajaran dengan lebih baik.
Henry: OK, saya akan melakukannya.
Tim: Sekarang masalah Anda terpecahkan, saya ingin Anda membantu saya
dengan masalah saya.
Henry: Apa yang terjadi?
Page 136 of 256

Tim: Saya perlu membangun rumah boneka baru untuk Nancy. Saya meletakkan
rumah bonekanya, dan entah bagaimana saya tidak sengaja menjatuhkannya. Itu
hancur berkeping-keping.
Henry: Seberapa janggal darimu! Apakah dia tahu?
Tim: Saya memberitahunya tentang itu. Saya tidak bisa membohonginya.
Henry: Bagaimana dia menerimanya?
Tim: Kakak saya sangat menyukai rumah boneka itu, dan jelas dia tidak terlalu
senang. Tapi, saya mengatakan kepadanya bahwa saya akan membangun yang
lebih baik untuknya. Jadi, saya butuh bantuanmu.
Henry: Saya? Tolong kamu? Saya tidak pernah membangun apa pun dalam hidup
saya.
Tim: Saya juga tidak. Tapi, jangan khawatir. Menempatkan potongan kayu
bersama tidak akan sulit.
Henry: Ini lebih dari sekedar meletakkan potongan kayu bersama. Anda perlu
memasang jendela dan pintu. Pernahkah Anda berpikir tentang bagaimana Anda
akan melakukannya?
Tim: Siapa bilang rumah perlu memiliki jendela dan pintu?
Henry: Jadi, Anda akan membangun rumah boneka tanpa jendela dan tanpa
pintu?
Page 137 of 256

Tim: Ya, saya tidak melihat ada yang salah dengan itu. Apakah kamu?
Henry: Tidak. Itu membuat proyek lebih mudah ditangani sekarang. Tapi, apakah
Anda yakin bahwa Nancy tidak akan keberatan memiliki rumah boneka tanpa pintu
dan tanpa jendela?
Tim: Ya, saya yakin.
Henry: Apakah Anda yakin Nancy akan menemukan rumah boneka ini tanpa pintu
dan tidak ada jendela yang lebih cantik daripada yang Anda rusak?
Tim: Tidak, saya tidak yakin. Kenapa kamu harus membuat semuanya jadi rumit?
Henry: Saya tidak mencoba mempersulit hal-hal. Anda memang memberi tahu
Nancy bahwa rumah boneka baru akan lebih baik daripada rumah yang Anda
rusak. Saya hanya ingin mengingatkan Anda tentang janji Anda.
Tim: Ah, saya harap saya belum menyentuh rumah bonekanya! Apa yang harus
saya lakukan?
Henry: Dapatkan bantuan dari seseorang yang tahu cara membangun rumah
boneka. Saya tidak akan membantu Anda dalam proyek ini.
Tim: Siapa yang Anda sarankan saya tanyakan?
Henry: Mr. Brown dulunya seorang tukang kayu. Dia akan senang membantu
Anda. Mengapa Anda tidak meneleponnya, dan melihat apakah dia punya waktu
luang.
Page 138 of 256

Tim: Anda benar. Ini akan membawa kita selamanya untuk membangun rumah
boneka ini. Dengan bantuan Mr. Brown, saya bisa menyelesaikannya dalam waktu
singkat.
Henry: OK, sekarang setelah masalah Anda terpecahkan, dapatkah Anda

membantu saya memangkas pepohonan di halaman belakang?
Tim: Siapa? Saya? Potong pohon di halaman belakang Anda? Ini akan memakan
waktu lama untuk memangkas pohon-pohon itu. Mari kita lihat siapa yang pandai
memangkas pohon. Ah, Anda bisa bertanya pada Tuan Brown. Dia juga pandai
memangkas pohon. Dan, ketika Anda meminta bantuannya, tolong minta dia
membantuku membangun rumah boneka juga.
10. LOOKING FOR AN APARTMENT
Situation: John and James will start their first semester at the University of
Southern California soon, and they are trying to find an apartment before school
starts.
__________________________________________________________________
John: Hey, James. What are you doing here?
__________________________________________________________________
James: I am looking for an apartment to rent. What are you doing here?
Looking for an apartment also?
__________________________________________________________________
John: Yes. Since my parents’ house is so far away, I need to find an apartment
closer to school. I thought you were going to stay at the school dormitory.
__________________________________________________________________
James: I still have not decided whether to stay at the dormitory or not. I am looking
at different options to find the cheapest lodging.
__________________________________________________________________
John: So, what are you looking for?
Page 139 of 256
__________________________________________________________________
James: All I need is a place big enough for my bed, my desk and my television. Of
course, the place should have a kitchen so that I can cook my meals. I will be
living on a very tight budget and will have to watch every dime.
__________________________________________________________________
John: Me too. I cannot work full-time like I did during the summer. I will cut down on
my workload in order to spend most of the time on my studies. So, a safe and
decent apartment is all I need.
__________________________________________________________________
James: How long have you been looking?
__________________________________________________________________
John: I just started this week. Since school is going to start next month, I figured I
better start the process as soon as possible.
__________________________________________________________________
James: It is not easy to find an apartment to your liking that does not cost a lot.
I have been looking at the ads in the newspaper for two weeks, and I still have
not found anything yet.
__________________________________________________________________
John: Really? Is it that difficult to find an apartment?
__________________________________________________________________
James: No, it is just that everything I like so far is too expensive and way beyond my
reach.
__________________________________________________________________
John: Is it because they are very close to school? I heard that the closer they are
to school, the higher the rental cost.
__________________________________________________________________
James: Maybe that is the problem. Since I do not have a car, I need to find
something close to school.
_________________________________________________________________
Page 140 of 256

John: Have you thought about sharing an apartment? If you want, we can find a
two bedroom apartment and share it. It may be cheaper that way.
__________________________________________________________________
James: That could solve our problem.
__________________________________________________________________
John: Wait! Maybe we should talk this over before we decide.
__________________________________________________________________
James: Right. For this plan to succeed, we need to come up with some sort of
agreement or set of rules.
__________________________________________________________________
John: Here is my first question: What do you do during the weekdays?
__________________________________________________________________
James: I have to work at Starbucks from 8:00AM to 12:00PM, and then I have
school from
1:00PM to 5:00PM. After that I plan to go home, eat dinner, and work on
my school assignments. How about you?
__________________________________________________________________
John: Well, I have class from 8:00AM to 10:00AM, and then I go to the library to
work until 2:00PM. After that, it is school again until 4:00PM. I plan to stay on
campus until 6:00PM to work on my computer projects, and then go home to
work on my other classes’ assignments.
__________________________________________________________________
James: It is my turn to ask the second question. Do you plan to have your
friends over at the apartment very often?
__________________________________________________________________
John: No, not on weekdays. I want to finish my homework during the weekdays as
much as possible. I think half of my weekend will also be reserved for homework.
If my friends do stop by, it will probably be during the weekend.
__________________________________________________________________
James: Good, I plan to do the same things during school time. I also plan to visit
my parents during the weekend. My mom is a great cook.
Page 141 of 256
__________________________________________________________________
John: My parents’ house is too far to visit once a week. I will go home to see them
and my little brother during the holidays. I need to be happy with whatever foods I
cook.
__________________________________________________________________
James: It seems that sharing an apartment with you may work. Do you want to try
it?
__________________________________________________________________
John: Yes. Let’s go in and take a look at this one.
__________________________________________________________________
10. MENCARI APARTEMEN
Situasi: John dan James akan memulai semester pertama mereka di University of
Southern California segera, dan mereka berusaha mencari apartemen sebelum
sekolah dimulai.
John: Hei, James. Apa yang kamu lakukan di sini?
James: Saya mencari apartemen untuk disewa. Apa yang kamu lakukan di sini?
Mencari apartemen juga?
John: Ya. Karena rumah orang tua saya sangat jauh, saya harus mencari apartemen
yang lebih dekat ke sekolah. Saya pikir Anda akan tinggal di asrama sekolah.
James: Saya masih belum memutuskan apakah akan tinggal di asrama atau tidak.
Saya mencari berbagai pilihan untuk menemukan penginapan termurah.
Page 142 of 256

John: Jadi, apa yang kamu cari?
James: Yang saya butuhkan adalah tempat yang cukup besar untuk tempat tidur
saya, meja saya, dan televisi saya. Tentu saja, tempat itu harus memiliki dapur
sehingga saya bisa memasak makanan saya. Saya akan hidup dengan anggaran
sangat ketat dan harus berhemat setiap sen.
John: Aku juga. Saya tidak dapat bekerja penuh waktu seperti yang saya lakukan
selama musim panas. Saya akan mengurangi beban kerja saya untuk
menghabiskan sebagian besar waktu di studi saya. Jadi, apartemen yang aman dan
layak adalah yang saya butuhkan.
James: Sudah berapa lama kamu mencari?
John: Saya baru mulai minggu ini. Karena sekolah akan mulai bulan depan, saya
pikir saya lebih baik memulai proses sesegera mungkin.
James: Tidak mudah menemukan apartemen sesuai dengan keinginan Anda yang
tidak membutuhkan biaya banyak. Saya telah melihat iklan di koran selama dua
minggu, dan saya masih belum menemukan apa pun.
John: Benarkah? Apakah itu sulit untuk menemukan apartemen?
James: Tidak, hanya saja semua yang saya suka sejauh ini terlalu mahal dan jauh di
luar jangkauan saya.
John: Apakah karena mereka sangat dekat dengan sekolah? Saya mendengar
bahwa semakin dekat mereka ke sekolah, semakin tinggi biaya sewa.
Page 143 of 256
James: Mungkin itu masalahnya. Karena saya tidak punya mobil, saya harus
mencari sesuatu yang dekat dengan sekolah.
John: Pernahkah Anda berpikir untuk berbagi apartemen? Jika Anda mau, kita bisa
menemukan apartemen dua kamar tidur dan membagikannya. Mungkin lebih murah
dengan cara itu.
James: Itu bisa memecahkan masalah kita.
John: Tunggu! Mungkin kita harus membicarakan ini sebelum memutuskan.
James: Benar. Agar rencana ini berhasil, kita perlu membuat semacam kesepakatan
atau serangkaian aturan.
John: Inilah pertanyaan pertama saya: Apa yang Anda lakukan selama hari kerja?
James: Saya harus bekerja di Starbucks mulai pukul 08:00 hingga 12:00, dan
kemudian saya sekolah
1:00 PM hingga 5:00 sore. Setelah itu saya berencana untuk pulang, makan malam,
dan mengerjakan tugas sekolah saya. Bagaimana dengan kamu?
John: Ya, saya ada kelas dari jam 8:00 pagi sampai jam 10:00 pagi, dan kemudian
saya pergi ke perpustakaan untuk bekerja sampai jam 2 siang. Setelah itu, sekolah
lagi sampai jam 4 sore. Saya berencana untuk tetap tinggal di kampus sampai jam 6
sore untuk mengerjakan proyek komputer saya, dan kemudian pulang untuk
mengerjakan tugas kelas saya yang lain.
Page 144 of 256

James: Sekarang giliran saya untuk mengajukan pertanyaan kedua. Apakah Anda
berencana untuk bertemu teman-teman di apartemen?
John: Tidak, tidak di hari kerja. Saya ingin menyelesaikan pekerjaan rumah saya
selama hari kerja sebanyak mungkin. Saya pikir setengah dari akhir pekan saya juga
akan disediakan untuk pekerjaan rumah. Jika teman-teman saya mampir, itu
mungkin akan terjadi selama akhir pekan.
James: Bagus, saya berencana melakukan hal yang sama selama waktu sekolah.
Saya juga berencana mengunjungi orang tua saya selama akhir pekan. Ibuku adalah
koki hebat.
John: Rumah orang tua saya terlalu jauh untuk dikunjungi seminggu sekali. Saya
akan pulang untuk melihat mereka dan adik saya selama liburan. Saya harus
senang dengan makanan apa pun yang saya masak.
James: Tampaknya berbagi apartemen dengan Anda dapat berhasil. Apakah Anda
ingin mencobanya?
John: Ya. Mari masuk dan lihat yang ini.

Jenny :I agree with you, Miss Lusi. It reminds me with my experience when
working in TONI’S HOSPITAL. We tried to be punctual in handling
any health treatment including surgery. Surgery operations for us are
like breakfast in the morning. It happens so often. We just tried to do
our best and then the result is we had an award from the government
as one of the best hospital in the city.
(Saya setuju dengan anda, Miss Lusi. Hal itu mengingatkan saya
akan pengalaman saya ketika bekerja di Rumah Sakit TONI. Kami
berusaha untuk tepat waktu dalam menangani segala perawatan
kesehatan termasuk operasi bedah. Operasi bedah bagi kami
rasanya sudah menjadi sarapan di pagi hari. Hal tersebut sering kali
dilakukan. Kami mencoba berusaha yang terbaik dan hasilnya kita
dapat penghargaan dari pemerintah sebagai salah satu rumah sakit
terbaik di kota ini.)

apakah ia menderita demam berdarah sekarang?)
Guess :Yes, Miss. I must see him today. I’m his wife. I’m just worried about
his condition that got worse last night. I heard it from my son who was
accompanying him last night.
(Ya, mbak. Saya harus menjenguknya hari ini. Saya istrinya. Saya
hanya khawatir dengan kondisinya yang memburk tadi malam. Saya
mendengar beritanya dari anak laki-laki saya yang menemaninya
semalam.)

Patient :Yeah, I feel better day by day. I feel comfortable here. The service is
always good and on time. Hope I can see my family at home
tomorrow morning. I got diarrhea at the first time. It was very terrible
and made me difficult to work. When I entered this hospital, the staffs
immediately take care of me. I like it.
(Ya, saya merasa lebih baik dari hari ke hari. Saya merasa nyaman di
sini. Pelayanannya selalu bagus dan tepat waktu. Semoga saya
dapat menemui keluarga saya besok pagi. Pada awalnya saya kena
diare. Penyakit tersebut begitu buruk dan mengganggu saya bekerja.
Ketika saya masuk rumah sakit ini, para pegawai langsung
menangani saya. Saya suka itu.)
Jenny :Yes, we always try to respond any health problems on time so that
those problem can be easily cured.
(Ya, kami selalu berusaha untuk merespon berbagai masalah

kesehatan tepat waktu sehingga masalah tersebut dapat dengan
mudahnya disembuhkan.)
Patient :That’s a good effort Miss. I hope the expenses are also affordable
here because we know that most of all people here are not rich and
still need a good service to continue their livings.
(Usaha yang bagus, Mbak. Saya harap biayanya juga terjangkau di

sini karena kita tahu bahwa sebagian besar masyarakat di sini
tidaklah kaya dan masih butuh pelayanan yang baik untuk
menyambung hidup mereka.)
Jenny :Don’t worry sir. We will do as best as we can. Now I will inject your
arm. Behold, sir.
(Jangan khawatir pak. Kami akan bekerja sebaik mungkin. Sekarang

B. TRAINING
Andy has passed the interview session with the manager. He hopes a good salary in
this company. If he does, he has to give his best contribution for the company he will
work today. He seems to be ready to join the training session with a senior there.
(Andi telah lulus sesi interview dengan sang manajer. Ia mengaharapkan

penghasilan yang baik di perusahaan tersebut. Jika ia ingin, ia harus memberikan
kontribusi terbaiknya untuk perusahaan dimana ia bekerja sekarang. Ia terlihat siap
untuk mengikuti sesi pelatihan dengan seorang senior di sana.)
Trainer :Hi, you must be Andy Sunaryo. The manager has told me about you.
I am John, your trainer. I’ve been working here for 8 years reporting
various news from sports until disaster and accidents news. Good to
see you, Andy.
(Hai, kamu pasti Andy Sunaryo. Sang manajer telah memberitahu ku

tentang kamu. Saya John, pelatih mu. Aku sudah bekerja di sini
selama 8 tahun meliput berita yang bervariasi dari berita olah raga
sampai berita bencana alam dan kecelakaan. Senang bertemu
denganmu, Andy.)
Andy :Hello Mr.John. I really need your guidance here so that I can learn
something from this training. It’s a pleasure to have a training from an
experienced reporter like you.
(Halo Mr.John. Saya benar-benar butuh bimbingan anda di sini

sehinggga saya bisa belajar sesuatu dari pelatihan ini. Suatu
kehormatan untuk ikut pelatihan dari seorang reporter yang
berpengalaman seperti anda.)
Page 174 of 256

Trainer :Well, shall we start?
(Baiklah, bisa kita mulai?)
Andy :Okay sir. Just go on.
(Baik pak. Silahkan dimulai.)
Trainer :Well, at the very first time, we have to be able to search for what
news will attract audiences to watch our TV broadcast. Audiences like
the latest and the hottest news. The news has to be real not fake. It
has to be able to be proven the facts.
(Baiklah, pertama-tama, kita harus bisa mencari berita apa yang akan
menarik perhatian penonton untuk menonton siaran TV kita. Para
penonton suka berita terbaru dan terhangat. Berita tersebut haruslah
nyata bukan palsu. Berita itu harus bisa dibuktikan kebenarannya.)
Andy :You’re absolutely right sir. Audiences want something that exist not
blur. They like some phenomenon that is different with what they
commonly see. It reminds me when I reported a news about the sun
storm. The data were taken form the astrology department with a
giant telescope. The result was that most of the audiences like to
watch the news and increase the channel’s rating.
(Anda sangat benar, pak. Para penonton ingin sesuatu yang nyata
bukan abstrak. Mereka suka fenomena yang berbeda dari apa yang
biasanya mereka lihat. Hal itu mengingatkan saya ketika saya meliput
berita tentang badai matahari. Hasilnya adalah, hampir semua
penonton suka menonton berita tersebut dan meningkatkan rating
channel TV.)
Trainer :Reporters have ethics too. We have to be polite when interviewing

someone. We may not say something that is not fact. Don’t judge any
people we are interviewing. The audiences will underestimate the
Page 175 of 256
content of the news if we hyperbolize the situation into something out-
of-logic.
(Reporter juga memiliki kode etik. Kita harus sopan ketika

mewawancarai seseorang. Kita tidak boleh berkata sesuatu yang
bukan fakta. Jangan menilai dengan lancang kepada orang yang kita
wawancarai. Para penonton akan merendahkan isi berita jika kita
meng-hiperbolakan situasi ke dalam sesuatu yang di luar nalar.)
Andy :What should we prepare before we report news, sir?
(Apa yang harus kita persiapkan sebelum kita meliput berita, pak?)
Trainer :Please make sure you have recording devices, book notes and a
pen. A camera or a video camera will be advantageous for you to
record more detail news in the location.
(Tolong pastikan kamu memiliki alat perekam, buku catatan dan

sebuah pulpen. Sebuah kamera atau video kamera akan
menguntungkan buat kamu untuk merekam berita lebih detail di
lokasi.)
Andy :Sir, how to behave in a chaos situation when we report a chaos with
brutal situation. Sometimes I got very afraid of it. I just don’t want to
get injured. It happened when I reported a demonstration nearby the
National Castle.
(Pak, bagaimana cara bersikap di situasi yang rusuh ketika kita

meliput sebuah kerusuhan dengan situasi yang brutal. Terkadang
saya merasa sangat takut. Saya hanya tidak ingin terluka. Hal itu
terjadi ketika saya meliput sebuah demonstrasi di dekat istana
Negara.)
Trainer :It’s easy. Always bring your official ID card as a reporter. Then the
police will always save you whenever the situation gets more horrible.
Page 176 of 256
(Mudah saja. Selalu bawa kartu tanda pengenal resmi kamu sebagai
seorang reporter. Lalu polisi akan selalu melindungi kamu kapanpun
situasinya bertambah buruk.)
Andy :Oh, I see. Now know sir. Thanks for your clear explanation.
(Oh begitu. Sekarang saya tahu pak. Terima kasih atas penjelasan
anda.)
C. WORK FIELD
Training session has passed by. Now Andy must face the real situation of being a
reporter in a new company. Andy has promised to himself to prove his best
contribution for the company. He seems to be ready to report some hot news.
(Sesi pelatihan telah terlewati. Sekarang Andy harus menghadapi situasi yang
sebenarnya menjadi seorang reporter di perusahaan yang baru. Andy telah berjanji
kepada dirinya sendiri untuk membuktikan kontribusi terbaiknya untuk perusahaan
tersebut. Ia tampak siap untuk meliput beberapa berita hangat.)
Manager :Andy, there is a football match between PERSIJA versus

Manchester United at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium. Please make
some report about that. Don’t forget to take some pictures and
interview one of the players there. Thank you.
(Andy, ada pertandingan sepak bola antara PERSIJA melawan

Manchester United di Stadion Gelora Bung Karno. Tolong buat
liputan dari pertandingan itu. Jangan lupa untuk mengambil beberapa
gambar dan mewawancara salah satu pemainnya di sana. Terima
kasih.)
Andy :Yes, sir. I will handle all of it and report it soon. You won’t regret it,
sir.
Page 177 of 256

(Siap, pak. Saya akan menangani itu semua dan meliputnya segera.
Anda tidak akan kecewa, pak.)
Then Andy immediately dashes into the stadion to report the match,
take some pictures and interview one of the players.
(Lalu Andi segera melaju cepat menuju ke stadium untuk meliput

pertandingan tersebut, mengambil gambar dan mewawancarai salah
satu pemainnya.)
Andy :Oh, so this is the match. It must be very interesting. I should prepare
everything. The match is about to start. So both of the teams bring
out their best player in this match. Look, I think they have some new
players too, including the defenders and the strikers. The weather is
good enough, hope it will be an interesting match. I will grab many
amazing photos from this match this afternoon and the manager will
be satisfied by my works.
(Oh, jadi ini pertandingannya. Pasti pertandingannya sangat menarik.

Saya harus mempersiapkan semuanya. Pertandingannya akan
segera di mulai. Jadi kedua tim mengeluarkan pemain-pemain terbaik
mereka di pertandingan ini. Lihat, Aku pikir mereka memiliki pemain
baru juga, termasuk pemain bertahan dan penyerang. Cuaca nya
bagus juga, semoga akan menjadi pertandingan yang menarik. Aku
akan mengambil banyak foto dari pertandingan siang ini dan si
manajer akan puas dengan kinerja saya.)
Audience :Excuse me, sir. Could you show me which player named Rooney?
(Permisi pak. Bisakah anda menunjukkan kepada saya pemain yang

manakah bernama Rooney?)
Andy :Oh, he’s the tall man with T-Shirt number of 9 of Manchester United
Team. He is really talented. Are you Manchester United fans?
Page 178 of 256
(Oh, dia pria tinggi yang memakai kaos bernomor 9 Tim Manchester
United. Ia sangat berbakat. Apakah anda penggemar Manchester
United?)
Audience :Yes, I am a big fans of Manchester United Team. May I know what
you are doing here with a camera and a note book here, sir?
Andy :I am a reporter from MASTERPIECE TV. I am a new staff there. I’d

like to make some report of this match and take some photos also
interview one of the players as well. My report will be broadcasted on
TV tomorrow morning. If you want to give some comments of this
match, it will be beneficial for this report. Would you like to give some,
sir?
(Saya seorang reporter dari MASTERPIECE TV. Saya seorang

pegawai baru di sana. Saya hendak meliput pertandingan ini dan
juga mengambil beberapa gambar serta mewawancara salah satu
pemainnya. Liputan saya akan ditayangkan di TV besok pagi. Jika
anda ingin member komentar akan pertandingan ini, akan
bermanfaat buat liputan ini. Apakah anda bersedia, pak?)
Audience :Yeah, with pleasure. Go ahead.
(Ya, dengan senang hati. Silahkan.)
Andy :What do you think of the two teams, sir?
(Bagaimana menurut anda kedua tim tersebut, pak?)
Audience :Well, the two teams are strong and solid. They have incredible
players and good strategies. They have just bought some new
players to strengthen their formation. Both of them like to attack than
to defend.
Page 179 of 256

(Baiklah, kedua tim tersebut kuat dan tangguh. Mereka memiliki para
pemain yang hebat dan strategi-strategi yang bagus. Mereka baru
saja membeli beberapa pemain baru untuk memperkuat formasi
mereka. Keduanya lebih suka menyerang daripada bertahan.)
Andy :In your opinion, could you make a prediction which team will win the
match, sir? Why?
(Menurut anda, dapatkah anda membuat sebuah prediksi tim mana

yang akan memenangkan pertandingan, pak? Mengapa?)
Audience :I personally think Manchester United will win the match because they
have solid team and better strategy. Once I have ever watched their
performance. They are great. The players are talented and have
strong stamina. But PERSIJA is good too. They might win if they use
all of their best strategies to block Manchester United attack and do
counter attack.
(Saya pribadi berpikir Manchester United akan memenangkan

pertandingan karena mereka memiliki tim yang tangguh dan strategi
yang lebih baik. Saya sekali pernah melihat penampilan mereka.
Mereka hebat. Para pemannya berbakat dan memiliki stamina yang
kuat. Tapi PERSIJA juga bagus. Mereka bisa saja menang jika
menggunakan strategi mereka yang terbaik untuk menghadang
serangan Manchester united dan melancarkan serangan balik.)
Andy :Do you play football too, sir?
(Apakah anda bermain sepak bola juga, pak?)
Audience :Yes, I did. But now I am a coach of a local football team here. I was
a goal keeper. I tried to block and catch any balls that came to my
area. I led my team to win 2 times Indonesian Copa Soccer
Championship.
Page 180 of 256
(Ya, dulu saya main. Tetapi sekarang saya seorang pelatih tim sepak
bola local di sini. Dulu saya seorang penjaga gawang. Saya berusaha
untuk menangkis dan menangkap bola yang datang ke area saya.
Saya memnawa tim saya dua kali memenangkan Kejuaraan
Sepakbola Copa Indonesia.)
Andy :Wow, that’s great. Thanks for the information, sir. Let me take some
of pictures from the match. Because It’s already started for 10
minutes.
(Wow, hebat. Terimakasih untuk informasinya, pak. Ijinka saya

bu?)

strategies in promotion. Ashley, have you printed the reports? Please
give them and explain to me.
Page 206 of 256

(Baiklah, kita berkumpul di sini untuk membahas rencana bisnis kita
dan strategi dalam promosi. Ashley, sudahkah kamu mencetak
laporannya? Tolong berikan dan jelaskan kepada saya.
Ashley :Here you are mam. So, this month the number of students that
registered to our course is about 50 students. That’s because some
rewards we gave such as discounts and prize for excellent students.
If we hold a promotion such as giving tickets for their attendances,
and then the tickets can be exchanged into a prize, then the number
of children who will register here will increase because we offer
something that they like.
(Ini dia bu. Jadi bulan ini jumlah siswa yang mendaftar di kursus kita
sekitar 100 orang. Itu karena beberapa hadiah yang kita berikan
seperti diskon dan hadiah bagi siswa berprestasi. Jika kita
mengadakan promosi dengan memberikan tiket atas kehadiran
mereka, dan tiket tersebut dapat ditukarkan dengan hadiah, maka
jumlah anak-anak yang akan mendaftar kesini akan semakin
meningkat karena kita menawarkan sesuatu yang mereka suka.)
Manager :Brilliant, Ashley. I like your idea. Hope your idea will succeed in
increasing the number of our students here. Thank you, Ashley. I like
an experienced staff like you.

positif (positive statement). Contoh: Mary usually goes swimming on Saturday
morning. Mother always serves our breakfast before we go to school. My
brother likes playing tennis on Sunday morning.
 Akhiran "s" pada kata kerja Pada umumnya kata kerja ditambah dengan
akhiran "s" jika subjeknya orang ketiga tunggal (the third person singular -
he/she/it).

akhimya "y" dan didahului huruf mati, y ditukar dulu dengan "i" kemudian
ditambah "es".
