Task 3 Denias

: Ayu, I need to talk. Ayu

: What is it about? Is it something important?

Denias : Yes. But ... Ayu

: Don’t hesitate. I’m listening. Denias

: It’s hard, you know. Ayu

: Oh … Is it bad news? Denias

: I’m leaving. Ayu

: What are you talking about? I don’t want you to leave me. I love you. Denias

: I mean I’m moving to Semarang. Ayu

: Why? Is your father transfered there? Denias

: No. My father sends me to a boarding school in Semarang. Ayu

: Oh, I don’t want you to go. Denias

: I know. It’s hard for both of us. But I understand that it’s for our better future. Ayu

: Yes, I agree with you. You will get better education there. Denias

: I am leaving tomorrow morning. My flight departs at 7. Ayu

: Oh no, It’s very hard for me, denias. Denias

: Don’t worry, Ayu. You know I love you. But I have to go. Ayu

: Okay. I love you too, Denias. Good luck with your study there. Task 5

Adib : Hello, is it Virga speaking? Virga

: Hi, Adib. What’s up? Adib

: I don’t know what to do. I really don’t. Virga

: What are you talking about? I really don’t understand. Adib

: I always think of her but I don’t think she thinks of me that way. Virga

: Wait a second. Who are you talking about? Adib

: You know. She’s the one who always smiles to me. Virga

: Then, what does she do to you so that you’re crazy about her? Adib

: She does nothing. It’s just me feeling. Virga

: Why don’t you go to her and say what you feel?

Adib

: I don’t think that it’s a good idea. She is too adorable and cute. I don’t

deserve her at all.

Virga : Why do you think so? I think you’re a good guy as well. Adib

: But, she’s too perfect. She’s beautiful, smart, diligent, helpful, friendly,

and hard working.

Virga : So, what are you going to do? Adib

: I don’t know. I just think that I don’t deserve her love. Virga

: Don’t worry Adib. I’ll help you. Adib

: Really? How? Virga

: Listen. I’m with Ayu now. She wants to speak to you. Adib

: Oh, is she? Ayu

: Adib, it’s me. Ayu. I heard all you said just now. I’m very happy. I’ve

been waiting for this moment.

Adib : Really? I love you very much. Ayu

: I love you so. Adib : Virga, thanks for the speaker phone. Virga : That’s okay. I’m pleased to see you both happy.

Task 6

The Lion in Love

A lion demanded the daughter of a woodcutter in marriage. The Father, unwilling to grant, and yet afraid to refuse his request, hit upon this expedient to rid himself of his importunities. He expressed his willingness to accept the Lion as the suitor of his daughter on one condition: that he should allow him to extract his teeth, and cut off his claws, as his daughter was fearfully afraid of both. The Lion cheerfully assented to the proposal. Yet when the toothless, clawless Lion returned to repeat his request, the Woodman, no longer afraid, set upon him with his club, and drove him away into the forest.
