Dialogue 1
Toni : Hi Dimas.
Dimas : Hi Ton, what’s up? You look confused.
Toni : Yeah, actually I have a problem when I wanted to install the game that you gave, it couldn’t be installed.
Dimas : Oh, I see. Have you followed the instructions correctly?
Toni : Yeah, I think so. I have followed the instructions one by one. However, at the end it couldn’t be played. I thought
something was wrong.
Dimas : Let me check for a while Ton. Please hand me your laptop.
Toni : Sure, here it is.
Dimas : Yap, I got it. Here is the problem Ton.
Toni : What’s the problem?
Dimas : Before you install the game, you need to turn off your antivirus as some files on the game will be deleted
automatically when the game is installed. So, make sure you turn it off first and then you can install the game. Do you
understand what I’m saying Ton?
Toni : Yeah, I understand what you are saying. I don’t know the antivirus will affect the installation process.
Dimas : I’m sorry Ton, that was my mistake because I didn’t tell you before.
Toni : That’s okay Dimas.
Dimas : Now, let’s try to install the game so we can play together
Toni: Okay lets do it
Dialogue 2
Rina : Hi Sindy.
Sindy : Hi Rina.
Rina : Have you finished the assignment from Ms. Jenny?
Sindy : Yes, I’ve just finished it. How about you?
Rina : Not yet, I’m still confused in answering some questions especially changing the verbs of
active sentence into passive or vice versa. Sindy : Oh, that one. Before you change the sentence
into passive or active, please make sure what kind of sentence it is, an active or a passive. If it’s
an active sentence, you need to change the verb 1 into verb 3 or vice versa. Do you get my
point?
Rina : I’m not sure I get your point. It’s confusing.
Sindy : That’s okay Rina, I will teach you and give some examples so you can understand.
Rina : Sure Sindy, if you don’t mind.
Sindy : Okay, let’s study together.
Rina : Okay Sindy.
