Beni: “I think we should start our wall magazine now.”
Da
yu:
“I don’t think we can start now. We should plan it carefully. We
should go to people who know how to make a wall magazine.”
Siti:
“I agree with Dayu. We should think before we leap.”
Siti:
“I think we need a lot of money to make a wall magazine.”
Edo:
“I don’t think so. We can use used paper.
We can also use used wood for the frame.”
Lina: “Yes we can, so we do not need a lot of money
to make a wall magazine. What we need is hard work.”
Edo:
“What should our wall magazine contain?
Can we put any writing we have made there?”
Udin: “I don’t think so. We should not just put anything there.
The texts should be good and interesting.”
Lina: “And, there should not be many mistakes there.”
Udin: “I think only good texts, with few or no mistakes, can be published.”
Edo:
“But how do we know that a text is good enough to publish?”
Dayu: “I think our English teachers can help check our English.
Do you think Mrs. Tini is willing to be the editor of our wall
magazine.”
Lina: “It seems that none of us knows how to make a wall magazine.
What if we go to Mrs. Tini and ask her for advice.
I think she has a lot of good ideas.”
Siti:
“I think so too. Let’s go to her now.”
Dayu: “I don
’t think we can see her now. She is in the staff meeting.”

tomorrow
to look closely at their wall magazine.
We will know what kinds of texts are published there.”
Edo:
“I agree with Beni. We will also look at the layout and
the decoration. Do you remember the color of the background.”
Lina: “Sorry, I don’t. What if we just ask for their permission
to take a picture of the magazine?”
Siti:
“I think the best thing to do is to meet the team who manages
the magazine.”
Udin: “I agree with Siti. We can ask them a lot of questions.
I think they will be happy to help us start our wall magazine.”
Dayu: “That’s a very good idea. We need their help to plan our
wall magazine.”

Lina: I don’t feel well. I’m catching a cold.
Udin: You should go to the doctor.
Beni:
I don’t think that’s a good idea.
What you need is just take
a good rest and drink a lot of fresh water.
Siti:
I agree with Udin.
You should go to the doctor. You look
very pale. You need to take medicine soon.
Edo:
I don’t agree with you Siti.
You must not take too much
medicine. You just need a good rest, much fresh water and
fruit. Eat only healthy food.
Dayu: I think the best way to do is go home, Lina. Your mom and
dad know better what you should do.
When you read or hear a suggestion or a
rule, you may agree or disagree with it.
Let’s study the two conversations below.
First, play the roles of the speakers. Say
the speakers’ sentences loudly, clearly,

Siti:
There is a rule for girls in a certain culture in South America.
Girls must have long hair. They must not cut their hair short
above the shoulders.
Udin:
I agree with the rule.
Short hair is for boys.
Lina:
I don’t think so.
I don’t agree with the rule. People are free to
choose what they like. Hair is a personal matter.
Dayu:
I think so.
I don’t like long hair, but my sister likes long hair
very much.
Edo: But you may look more beautiful with long hair. I think girls
look better with long hair. Boys look better with short hair.
Beni: Let’s take it this way. The rule may not be suitable in our
culture. But it may be necessary in their culture.
