Dialogue 1
Johan is meeting his new friends, David and Melanie, two students exchange from
Sidney Australia, for the first time at The Language Center. They are in his
campus to learn Bahasa Indonesia.
Johan: Hello everyone! My name is Johan and I am here to welcome and give you
a campus tour.
David: Hello johan my name is David and this is my friend Melanie.
Melanie: hello Johan. Nice to meet you.
Johan: Nice to meet you too, Melanie, David. So, when did you arrive here in
Bandung?
Melanie: Oh, we went from Jakarta and arrived in Bandung two days ago.
David: We stayed in Jakarta for three days before we came here because we need
to take care of some important matters at the embassy first.
Johan: I see, how was your trip from Jakarta to Bandung, Did you have a good
trip?
David: I suppose, I slept along the way and did not wake up until Melanie told me
we had arrived at our hotel. I was too tired.
Melanie: It was okay. I enjoyed the scenery along the way. It was fantastic I think.
I never knew that you have beautiful places here.
Johan: Well, we do. We have great places. You’ll find out more about those
places later. Anyway, is this your first visit to Indonesia, Melanie?
Melanie: Yup, but not for Dave. He’s been to Indonesia before, holidaying in
Bali, right Dave?
Dave: Yup. This is actually the third times I have been to Indonesia. I’ve been to
Bali and Lombok before but this is my first time to Bandung.
Johan: Oh okay, where do you stay here, Melanie, Dave?
David: we are staying at setiabudhi hotel at the moment but we’re going to move
to the house we have rent at Ciumbuleuit tomorrow.
Johan: You two live in the same house?

Melanie: Yes, we share the house together so the rent is not too expensive for both
of us.
Johan: Sounds like a good idea to me. Well then, shall we start our tour? Let me
see... Mmhhh, I’ll first take you to the library and the internet center. The building
is not far from here. As a matter of fact you can see it from here. Shall we go
then?
Melanie & David: Let’s!
Dialogue 2
Being in Bandung, the most important and most famous shopping city in
Indonesia, Melanie and David are making the most of their visit to the city by
going shopping at many factory outlets. Factory outlets are stores which sell
clothes, bags, accessories or apparel and which they claim direct from the
factories and originally for export. In fact, some of those factory outlets sell used
stuff imported from overseas; clothes, suits, sweaters, pants, etc, which are no
longer used or needed by the people in the countries they are from. Melanie and
David have asked Johan to accompany them. They are in Riau Street where fancy
factory outlets fill in most of space there. They are entering the summit, one of the
filled-by-shoppers factory outlets, after they visited Cascade, another fancy
factory outlets, a five minutes walk from The Summit.
Melanie: Wow, I don’t have any idea that here we can get cheap but good quality
stuff, eh, Dave?
David: You can say that again Melanie. I’ve got this nice scarf. I can’t believe I
bought a scarf in Indonesia. There is no winter here, eh?
Melanie: It is beautiful scarf Dave. It really is. How much does it cost, if you
don’t mind telling me?
David: Oh, it’s just 100 thousand, that’s around 15 dollars. It’s really a bargain for
a scarf like this.
Johan: What did you buy, Melanie? I saw you looking at some blouses and Tshirts. Did you buy some?
Melanie: No, I did not. They don’t have my size. The T-shirts are a bit too small
for me. What a shame! Perhaps here I can find T-shirts which are not too
tight.
Johan: I’m sure they have a lot of nice T-shirt your size, Mel. Are you buying
anything else, Dave?

David: Maybe, not sure. I’ll look around first. There are few other things I want to
buy. Let’s look around shall we?
Melanie & Johan: Okay
Johan: I’ll go up stair and see if I can find what I need.
Melanie: What do you need Johan?
Johan: Nice and cute boxer, hehehe..
David: Well, I am sure you’ll find some Johan. I’ll see you later here then. I am
going to look around and lose myself in those piles of clothes. See you
guys!
Melanie & Johan: See you
Melanie: I’ll go over there Johan. I’ll look for some T-shirt and other stuff. I see
some nice accessories over there.
Johan: Okay, just make sure that you don’t shop till you drop.
Dialogue 3
Johan is talking with his classmates after a class. Being in the last semester they
are a bit worried with their future. They know that it is getting more competitive
to get a job once they complete their study. Johan and his friends are sharing their
future plans and ambitions.
Johan: That was an interesting elaboration on Psychoanalysis, don’t you thing
guys?
Yusuf: It was. I think the most interesting part is when our lecturer talked about
the human psyche. You know Id, Ego and superego and how they can
manifest in literary works. That was really new for me.
Nissa: Talking about literary works, have you guys finished reading the novels
our lecturer wanted us to read and study? We are supposed to write
responses to them. They are due to next week.
Johan: Oh shoot! You’ve just reminded me of that. I haven’t started reading those
novels. I have been busy with assignments for cultural studies. They are
also due to next weekend, aren’t they? Darn! Our hands are tight up ya.
Yusuf: Oh, C’mon guys, will you two just chill out for a while? These
assignments are due to next week and that means we still have four days. I
think we still have plenty of time. Talk about something else, shall we?

Say... we’re now in the last semester and will graduate soon. What’s your
plan after graduating guys?
Johan: Hhmmm... I want to get a job first. I hope I can work as a Translator or... I
don’t mind working at Foreign Affairs Department. I can be posted overseas
and travel in a foreign country. I’d love to see what happens at the others
side of the globe. I think it will be cool. Then perhaps after one or two years
I will continue my study to post graduate. What’s your plan Nissa?
Nissa: I am continuing my study, for sure. But I am not really sure whether I will
take English again or other courses.
Yusuf: Communication sounds interesting, Nis. I am taking Communication for
my post graduate, for sure. I want to learn more about how people make
meaning of what they say when conversing with and among themselves.
However, I am not sure where I will continue my post graduate. I hope I can
get a scholarship to study overseas. That would be great, don’t you think
guys?
Johan: I reckon so!
Nissa: It would be awesome if we all could get our dream. Anyway, I need to
have this article copied guys. I’ll see you around. Oh, what are you going to
do this afternoon?
Johan: I don’t have any plan yet, but I may go the book store. There are some new
books I’d like to buy. What are you going to do, Sup, Nis?
Yusuf: I don’t know. Any idea?
Nissa: Why don’t you guys go with me to CCF? There is a contemporary arts
exhibition there. I’d like to check it out.
Johan: Sounds interesting. I’ll go with you.
Yusuf: Yeah, let’s go there then!
Nissa: Cool.. I’ll see you guys after class then. Bye!
Johan & Yusuf: Bye!

Mr. Philip: Right, here are maps of Sidney for our visitors and copies of the
program for today.
Johan: Thank you Philip! Nis, do you think you can guess where we are on the
map?
Nissa: That’s easy! We are here next to the bridge. This building on the map is
that building over there.
Johan: You are good at reading map, aren’t you Nis? That building, wow! It’s
really old, isn’t it?
Nissa: You’re right. I think it’s 900 years old.
Johan: 900 years old?!! Are you kidding me. I don’t think it is that old. I want to
see Opera House. Do you know how to get there?
Nissa: I don’t know. You’d better ask the tour guide. Hey Philip, do you know
what over there is?
Mr. Philip: That’s the rock, a place we are going to visit later. Now, listen
everyone, lunch is at half past twelve and the first place we are going to is
The Opera House.
Nissa: Great! I can’t wait to see the famous Opera House.
Johan: Yeah, me too. Excuse me Mr. Philip, where is the Opera House on the
map?
Mr. Philip: It’s near the bridge. Oh, don’t worry we’ll see it in a minute.
Johan: Oh, okay.
Mr. Philip: Okay everyone, would you all please follow me? We are heading
toward the Opera House.
Dialogue 5
Johan and Nissa have arrived back from their short trip to Sidney. They had a
good time there. Now they are having dinner out at D’cost, a seafood restaurant
on Setiabudhi Street, with their best friends Yusuf, Ikhsan and Rani. They are
talking about an embarrassing moment that their best friend, Ikhsan experienced.
Nissa: Hey, cheer up! It’s not the end of the world!

Ikhsan: I’ve never been so embarrassed in all my life. Hesti was really annoyed.
I’ve never seen anyone so angry before. She heard everything I said about
her. Have you ever felt really stupid guys? Because I do now
Johan: I don’t think you need to feel stupid. It’s not a stupid thing to express how
you feel about someone, don’t you think guys?
Nissa: No, I don’t think so.
Ihksan: Ya, but Hesti has all this time taken me as her good friend only. A friend
she can confide in. She trusts me with deep secrets and now I am betraying
her by making her know how I really feel for her. Oh, I feel so stupid!!
Rani: Oh, please Ihksan, grow up! Now that she knows how you really feels about
her, it’s then up to her to decide. If she share the same feeling as you then
it’s good. If not, then you can still be friend, end of the story!
Yusuf & Nissa: Yes!
Yusuf: I think Rani has a point. Have you ever had a girlfriend?
Ihksan: No, I haven’t!
Nissa: Don’t worry too much Ihksan. Oh, here is our dinner coming. Let’s eat and
we’ll discuss your issue again later.
Johan: Great, I am starving.
Yusuf: Ya, me too!
Dialogue 6
Nissa is having a small party in her boarding house. She has invited her girl
friends, Rani, Laras and Indy to come to the party. She needs some glasses and
plates for the party and has asked her landlady (Mrs. Harris) for a help.
Nissa: Excuse me, Mr. Harris, could I borrow some glasses and plates for my
party, please?
Mrs. Harris: Oh, you’re having a party? What’s the occasion Nissa? Is it your
birthday?
Nissa: It is. And I am just celebrating it with my closest friends and I need some
glasses and plates, if you don’t mind lending them to me?
Mrs. Harris: Not at all. How many do you want?
Nissa: Well, there are just four of us so four glasses and four plates will just do.

Dialogue 7
As part of their project, Johan, Nissa and Yusuf have planned to make another
visit to a TV studio to see how the television crews carry out their job. However
thing comes up and Yusuf has decided that he will not go.
Johan: Ok, everyone. As we planned, today we are going to visit STV again for
our project. This time, we’re going to see how the TV crews make special
effects for TV programs and films. You know, like in the Matrix.
Yusuf: Do we really have to go? Last time we went there, we have to stay there
for ages.
Johan: What do you mean do we really have to go? Are you into the project or
not?
Yusuf: I am. It’s just that I don’t want to wait for ages again like the last time we
went there. It was so boring and I hate waiting!
Nissa: You don’t have to go to the studio if you don’t want to. But you’ll miss
something really exciting if you don’t go with us.
Yusuf: I don’t care. Anyway, I have to take care of my mom today. She’s ill.
Johan: But we have planned the visit, Suf. I can’t believe you will just drop the
plan.
Yusuf: Look, I am sorry. You don’t have to put my name on the project report. I
can’t leave my mom.
Nissa: Sorry to hear about your mom. We don’t have to go today. We still have
time to make our project report anyway. Let’s plan the visit another day.
Johan: All right. But you have to go with us, Suf.
Yusuf: Sure, I hope my mom will get better soon so I can go with you guys.
Thank, Niss!
Nissa: No worries. Now, let’s see your mom instead. You are coming with us, are
you Han?
