Saya menemukan arsip lama, sepertinya ini tugas english conversation ujian akhir sekolah menengah atas saya dulu tahun 2007. Kebetulan partner saya adalah sahabat karib yang dulu "terlambat diterima" di perguruan tinggi (jalur SPMB), tetapi sudah meraih titel sarjana duluan mendahului saya. Huhuhuu... Yahh, tidak ada salahnya saya mengupload tugas itu di sini. Lebih dari sekadar mengingat masa lalu, akan sangat berbahagia jika ada rekan-rekan kompasiana yang berkenan memberikan masukan (koreksi) atas conversation yang dulu kami susun bersama ini. Kebetulan saya juga sudah lupa berapa skor yang ibu guru kami berikan dulu. Hehehee... Ok, here it is.
ENGLISH CONVERSATION
A.Education
Dinnie: Hi Tedi. How are you?
Teddie: I’m fine, thank you. And you?
Dinnie: Not bad, thanks.
Teddie: By the way, how about your UGM test selection. Are you sure will
be pass it?
Dinnie: I think…. I’m not sure.
Teddie: But why?
Dinnie: Because the test is very difficult, and the scoring system is
different than usual test. How about you?
Teddie: I’m optimist enough. But, I think the cost to study in UGM is very
expensive for me.
Dinnie: So, if you pass the test, what will you do?
Teddie: I don’t know. But study in UGM is my dream. How about you if you
failed?
Dinnie: Well, I think I will try to another university test.
Teddie: Have you decide the university?
Dinnie: I’m still not sure. But, probably I will try UNY or UMY.
Teddie: Why you choose that?
Dinnie: Because UNY is cheap and near from my house. And if UMY, I
think that’s a private university with a good quality.
Teddie: Hmmm, if I failed, may be I will study in UNY because my mother
advised me to be a teacher.
Dinnie: Oh, that’s a good advise. But now, it’s better if we concern about
the school examination.
Teddie: That’s absolutely right. Let’s go home, I m really hungry.
Dinnie: OK….
