EXERCISE 1
Fill in the blanks with the following words.
Repeat mean catch clarify say
noisy slowly clearly pardon fast

Mr. Roger is a good teacher, but he speaks very fast. I often ask him to speak slowly I
also often ask him to clearly if I don’t catch what he has said. So I say to him: “Mr.
Roger, I don’t understand. Can you say that again?”. Or I just say: “I beg your pardon,
sir. Mr. Roger likes it when a student asks him to me if you don’t know what I mean”
Another reason why I often ask him to repeat his words is that the room is near the street,
so it is very noisy.

(Tuan Roger adalah guru yang baik, tapi dia berbicara sangat cepat. Saya sering
meminta nya untuk berbicara dengan pelan, saya juga sering meminta nya untuk
berbicara dengan jelas. Jika saya tidak menangkap apa yang dia katakan. Jadi saya
bilang ke dia: “Tuan Roger, saya tidak mengerti. Bisakah kamu mengatakan nya lagi?”.
Atau saya hanya bilang: “Saya minta maaf, Tuan. Tuan Roger suka Ketika seorang
siswa menanyakan dia apabila kamu tidak mengerti apa yang saya maksud.” Alasan
lain kenapa saya sering meminta nya untuk mengulagi kata-kata nya bahwa ruangan
tersebut dekat dengan jalan, jadi sangat berisik.”)
