Dear Marilia,.
Hi Marilia, I’m sorry because this is the first letter for you since I promised you to send you letter as
soon as possible when I have arrived in Kuala Lumpur. In fact, I did so much preparation before
started studying in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia(UKM). I found some difficulties to speak in Malay

need some translator to help me in understanding some articles.
Even though, I found some difficulties here. But day by day, I could be comfort here because many
people here are very friendly for all foreigners including me. Now, I am very happy to study English
Literature here because many classmates also supported me very well.
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia is the best university in Malaysia. It’s a very deep for education.
History, English, Science, Gigs, Art, Physical, Math, and so on. I hope you will come here as soon as
possible to study here and become my classmates.

On this moment, I also want to give you news that I have been accepted as one the students in
Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta. And my major is International Law. I have thought and considered
many times to decide going to Jakarta. And I finally I decided studying international law in Indonesia.
It was hard for me to decide because we also have promised studying in the same University. But,
unfortunately I couldn’t study in Malaysia because my grand mother was living in Jakarta. I know it’s
not good news for you but I have to decide my future. I hope you will understand about this
condition. Trust me, we will support each other even though we live in different city and different
country.

As those close to me know, I am not good with goodbyes so I do apologize to those who feel
offended that I have left having written only this farewell letter, without personally shaking their
hand and exchanging best wishes.
I have so many people to thank for their support and dedication that it is impossible to personally
get to see you all with the short time that was available.
I truly am humbled to have worked with such a group of “get in and get it happening people” and I
am so proud of the achievements that you have accomplished both in the operation and (for quite a
lot of you) for your own personal accomplishments.
To those of you that I had the opportunity to coach and or set goals for, I commend each of you for
your achievements and hope that you continue to succeed through life journeys.
I can be contacted if required on 08159030832. I wish you all a Healthy, Safe and Prosperous Year.

good, they’ll send me to a foreign university. Great, isn’t it? I’ll work hard. I want to be a great
pediatrician like you, Aunty.
Well, that’s all for now. Looking forward to having your news.

Dear Frodi,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your
brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was
very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and
heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always
thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for
your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too.
Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.
Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are
always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Many kinds of local handicraft are sold along Malioboro street. Both domestic and foreign tourists

interesting one.

Dear Sir/Madam.
I am writing to complain about an article in last Monday's newspaper, “Schools fail low-income
children.” As the head teacher of one of the largest junior high schools in the city. I feel strongly that
the article does not describe our school.
My school has children from many different economic backgrounds, but a large percentage some
from lower-income families. Nevertheless, our tests show that the children do well and benefit from
the excellent work our teachers do. Last year our school moved from 24m to 5th place according to
the official assessment by the state government. This is clearly not the ‘Tailure" that the article
suggests.
I would be strongly recommend that more careful research should be conducted in the future so
that your newspaper will more realistically describe the true situation in our schools.
Yours sincerely,
Joan Gonzales
35. The letter shows Ms. Gonzales's strong disagreement with the newspaper’s claim that ....
A. Children from low-income families do not perform well in the official assessment
B. The poor students in her school fail in the national examination
C. Her school only admit students from economically advantaged families
D. Many of her students fail because of their parents' low income
E. Low-income children are not as good as high-income children
I’m writing to inform you that I had a negative bad experience at your location in Columbus, New
Jersey on August 4. My receipt number is 512, and the person who handled my order was Alex.
First of all, I recognize that you, as the reader of this letter, are not responsible for my bad
experience, but I am still upset about the situation.
I went to the drive through and ordered seven meals with no pickles. When I received my order, I
checked that all of the sandwiches and fries were in the bag paid and drove away. When 1 got home,
1 realized my number seven had pickles on it. I’m allergic to pickles, and I didn’t want to waste the
sandwich, so I drove back to the drive through to explain the situation and get it fixed.
I feel very disappointed with this interaction, as I usually enjoy my experiences at your restaurant. To
fix this situation, I would like a coupon for a free meal of my choice. I think an apology from Alex is
also appropriate.
Best,
Jim Korkell
38. Who is in charge to take the order of “the drive through service”?
A. The cashier
B. Alex
C. Jim Korkel
D. The manager
E. The customer
Dear Barbara,
Hi there. How are things with you? It's good to know that you are doing fine in business. Have you

the most wonderful holiday have I ever had. There are a lot of interesting tourist objects to visit,
beautiful local art and craft, tasty traditional food, and much more. It's Thursday today. I can't
believe this my last day. I wish I could spend more time here. I am certain I will stay longer on my
next visit.
I'll be home about 3 p.m. tomorrow if the flight is on time. On Monday I must go back to work. I can't
wait to show my video to my class.

Dear my friend,
How are you my old friend? It's been two years I never heard from you. I miss you.
A genuine friend like you is really hard to find, so I don't want to lose you.
But since I left my hometown and move here to Japan, we lost contact.
We don't communicate very often afterward. The number you gave me no longer reachable, and
also your social media account is not active.
I assume maybe you've lost your hand-phone or something else that's why I write this letter only to
be in touch with you again.
Our friendship should carry on until we get old like you've told me.
Here is my phone number 072557575 and you can also find me on Facebook or e-mail at
[email protected].
I think that's all I could say. This letter has no space enough to express how much I miss you.

Dear Frodi,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was
ill, for your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to
think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock.
You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you
will feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I
feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her
death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure him of my sincere
sympathy.
Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such
sorrows we are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you
in your sorrow.
Arti
Kepada Frodi ,
Sungguh kesedihan yang saya dengar pagi ini tentang kehilangan besar Anda. Aku tahu
ibumu sakit, karena kakakmu memberitahuku beberapa minggu yang lalu. Namun, karena dia
pada waktu itu tampaknya tidak berpikir penyakitnya sangat serius, berita kematian ibumu
datang kepada saya sebagai kejutan. Anda memiliki simpati yang tulus dan sepenuh hati,
teman baik saya, dalam kesedihan Anda. Saya tahu Anda akan merasakannya dalam-dalam,
karena Anda selalu begitu memikirkan ibu Anda dan sangat mencintainya. Saya
merasakannya juga sebagai kerugian pribadi bagi diri saya sendiri, karena ibumu selalu
sangat baik kepada saya. Kematiannya pasti sangat menyedihkan bagi ayahmu juga. Tolong
yakinkan dia akan simpati tulus saya.
Kata-kata, saya tahu, adalah selimut yang buruk. “Hati tahu kesedihannya sendiri”, dan dalam
kesedihan seperti itu kita selalu sendirian. Namun, itu bukan kata-kata belaka ketika saya
mengatakan bahwa saya merasa bersama Anda dalam kesedihan Anda.

Hello! How are you? I received your letter today. I am very excited to hear that you are
coming to stay with me for the holidays. I am sure we will have a lot of fun together.
My parents have agreed to let you stay with me. They offered to pick you up at the airport.
All you have to do is to tell us when you are coming.
I will now tell you about some of the things you will experience here in Indonesia. You do
not have to worry about the local spicy food. We have a lot of fast food restaurants here
like the ones you have in England.
You can also shop for souvenirs to bring home. Sarinah or Blok M are our famous
shopping areas. They have many shops selling all kinds of things. I am sure you will love
them.
I am also planning to take you to a few tourist spots like miniature of Indonesia, National
monument, or Safari Garden. We can also go to the Ancol beach where you can swim,
play on the beach, and have picnics.
My family and I are looking forward to your coming. I hope to hear from you soon. Good
bye.
With love.

Dear Intan
Intan, sorry I haven’t written to you for so long. We moved into a new apartment last
month and we’ve been really busy getting settled.
It’s a nice apartment. It is bigger than our old one. It’s big so there are a lot of rooms to
work in. It has a big living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Another thing I like is
the kitchen.
The apartment is on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a shopping centre
just down the street with a supermarket, some quite good restaurants and some stores.
We really enjoy living here. Do come over and have a look next time you are in the town.
I’ll wait.

Intan, maaf saya belum menulis untuk Anda begitu lama. Kami pindah ke apartemen baru
bulan lalu dan kami benar-benar sibuk diselesaikan.
Apartemen yang bagus. Itu lebih besar dari yang lama. Itu besar sehingga ada banyak kamar
untuk bekerja. Ini memiliki ruang tamu besar, dua kamar tidur dan dua kamar mandi. Hal lain
yang saya sukai adalah dapur.
Apartemen berada di jalan yang tenang di lingkungan yang baik. Ada juga pusat perbelanjaan
di ujung jalan dengan supermarket, beberapa restoran yang sangat bagus, dan beberapa toko.
Kami sangat menikmati tinggal di sini. Datanglah dan lihat lain kali Anda berada di kota.
Aku akan menunggu.

Kepada Susan,
Rasanya sudah lama sekali sejak terakhir kali aku melihatmu. Aku tahu ini baru beberapa
minggu sejak aku melihatmu. Sejauh ini musim panas saya sangat menyenangkan!
Saya menghabiskan akhir pekan saya di pantai. Saya mendapatkan cokelat yang bagus dan
Anda tidak bisa lagi mengatakan saya lebih pucat daripada Anda. Saya telah bermain banyak
bola voli, berselancar dan membangun koleksi kerang laut yang bagus. Baru-baru ini di akhir
minggu lalu saya menempati posisi kedua dalam kontes membangun istana pasir!
Di hari kerja saya bekerja. Saya mengendarai truk es krim dan menjual es krim kepada anak-
anak. Itu sangat keren. Ini adalah kombinasi dari dua hal yang paling saya sukai, es krim dan
anak-anak. Bayarannya tidak terlalu besar tetapi saya sangat menyukai pekerjaan itu.
Saya harap musim panas juga berjalan baik untuk Anda. Tinggal satu setengah bulan lagi di
liburan musim panas dan setelah itu kembali ke sekolah. Apakah Anda ingin bertemu
beberapa saat sebelum sekolah dimulai?
Temanmu,

Untuk semua Kolega dan Teman,
Seperti yang diketahui oleh orang-orang dekat saya, saya tidak pandai berpamitan, jadi saya
minta maaf kepada mereka yang merasa tersinggung karena saya hanya menulis surat
perpisahan ini, tanpa secara pribadi menjabat tangan mereka dan bertukar salam.
Saya memiliki begitu banyak orang untuk mengucapkan terima kasih atas dukungan dan
dedikasi mereka sehingga tidak mungkin untuk secara pribadi melihat Anda semua dengan
waktu singkat yang tersedia.
Saya benar-benar merasa rendah hati telah bekerja dengan sekelompok “masuk dan
mewujudkannya orang-orang seperti” dan saya sangat bangga dengan prestasi yang telah
Anda capai baik dalam operasi dan (untuk banyak dari Anda) untuk pribadi Anda sendiri
prestasi.
Bagi Anda yang saya memiliki kesempatan untuk melatih dan atau menetapkan tujuan, saya
memuji Anda masing-masing atas prestasi Anda dan berharap Anda terus berhasil melalui
perjalanan hidup.

Hello Paula, how are you? It’s been a month since l last heard from you. Well l just
wanted to tell you that I was in a hospital last week. According to the doctor l was infected
by dengue fever.
At first, I felt my body became weak then fainted when was studying in the classroom.
Then, I was taken to the hospital because of the high fever.
At the hospital, I was brought into the emergency unit. The doctor immediately gave some
treatments. Finally, l had to stay there for one week. Everyday the doctor kept me on a

illness again.

Paula sayang,
Halo Paula, apa kabar? Sudah sebulan sejak terakhir kali saya mendengar dari Anda. Yah,
aku hanya ingin memberitahumu bahwa aku ada di rumah sakit minggu lalu. Menurut dokter,
saya terinfeksi demam berdarah.
Awalnya, saya merasa tubuh saya menjadi lemah kemudian pingsan ketika sedang belajar di
kelas. Kemudian, saya dibawa ke rumah sakit karena demam tinggi.
Di rumah sakit, saya dibawa ke unit gawat darurat. Dokter segera memberikan beberapa
perawatan. Akhirnya, saya harus tinggal di sana selama satu minggu. Setiap hari dokter
membuat saya menetes. Pada hari ketujuh, kondisi saya membaik. Setelah pemeriksaan
terakhir, dokter memberi saya izin untuk pulang. Sekarang, saya baik-baik saja dan karena
penyakit saya, saya sekarang lebih berhati-hati dalam menjaga kebersihan rumah saya
terutama kamar saya, saya tidak ingin mendapatkan penyakit yang sama lagi.
Oke, pikir itu saja dariku, segera kirim surat padaku ya?

Bibi, aku punya kabar baik untukmu. Bulan lalu saya lulus ujian akhir saya. Seminggu yang

orang tua saya berjanji untuk mengirim saya ke kursus bahasa Inggris yang terkenal di kota

akan mengirim saya ke universitas asing. Bagus bukan? Saya akan bekerja keras. Aku ingin

Saya menulis kepada Anda tentang hari terakhir saya di Jogja. Saya baru saja kembali dari
Borobudur, candi indah yang pernah saya lihat. Cuacanya baik. Kami sekarang tinggal di
hotel. Tidak jauh dari Malioboro. Kami diperlakukan dengan baik di sini. Ini memiliki
banyak staf hebat yang melayani pelanggan. Kami berencana untuk berkeliling Malioboro
setelah anak-anak tidur sebentar. Kami ingin menikmati “lesehan” di sana. Ini semacam
restoran tapi kami duduk di tanah.
Banyak jenis kerajinan lokal dijual di sepanjang jalan Malioboro. Baik wisatawan domestik
dan asing tertarik pada mereka. Saya ingin membeli beberapa sebagai oleh-oleh. Jangan
khawatir, aku juga akan membelikanmu yang paling menarik.
