The One
Everybody surely have the one that he or she loves, the one that get a very special place
in one’s heart, and the one who is able to make one’s heart fluttering and one’s knees trembling.
Yes, I had that one also. We were accidently met one day. It was my friend, who introduced him
to me. I had no interest at that time, but it seemed written in my destiny, then without a particular
reason, I agreed to exchange my phone number with him. We got to know each other for about 2
months until finally we both felt comfortable and decided to have a date.
There it came one day when we went on our first date. We had a dinner in the favourite
place in town. It was the first time for us to see each other, and then I realized that he was better
than I thought. We were terribly nervous, but as the time went by, we both could overcome our
nervousness. We talked about many things. Our activities in college, our interest in sport or
education, even we both teased to each other. The atmosphere was so natural in which both of us
could tell things freely without trying to hide anything. We enjoyed our dinner for about 2 hours
and decided to go home since it was already night. Some moments before I left, he asked me
whether we could have another dinner next time. I nod softly while silently speak in my heart,
that there would be no other dinner for us but we would have so many dinners later on.

a. Explanation
FORM
Examples:
Examples:
We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st,
2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.
Examples:
I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.
He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at
10:00.
Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then add the eggs?
USE 3 Duration in Past
The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration
is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day,
all year, etc.
Examples:
The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can
have the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often
add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I was younger,
etc.
Examples:
The Simple Past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no
longer true. As in USE 4 above, this use of the Simple Past is quite similar to the expression
"used to."
Examples:
Memories of Kuta
Kadek- (sitting silently under the tree while looking at the sky sadly)
Putu -(feel curious about what is being thought by Kadek, he approaches her slowly)
Putu : “Hey pretty girl, what’s on earth with that expression?”
Kadek : “Hey dude, I’m not in a good mood, let me alone”
Putu : “Oh for God sake, don’t you want to share your problem with me? If you do,
then everything will be alright” (pointing his chest confidently)
Kadek : “You? Oh I don’t think so (while laughing sarcastically)
Putu : “Oh come on, you need somebody to share with, and here I am”
Kadek : “Alright, fine. I’ll tell my story to you. It was about my last holiday in Kuta”
Putu : “Oh I see it, and then?”
Kadek : “You know, I met a very handsome guy there, he was young, brave, and free. He
was a life guard who rescued me when I was drowning in Kuta beach”
Putu : “Oh lord, did you say that you were drowning? How come? You can swim as I
know”
Kadek : “Yes, I did. But at that time I had a cramp, I could not even move my body,
thanks God that he sent me a savior, there he was, the lifeguard”
Putu : “Wow, it must be awesome. So, what makes you sad then?”
Kadek : “I was so stupid, I did even have chance to ask his name, and the worst thing
was I have not say thanks to him yet”
Putu : “Oh, it was bad then. Well you don’t need to worry a lot. My father has a lot of
friends as the lifeguard in Kuta. I think it is not a big matter to find him, do you
still remember how he looks like?”
Kadek : “Sure, how could I forget such a charming guy like him?”
Putu : “It is good then, now wipes away your sad face, I’ll take you to my Dad”
Kadek : “It is very kind of you dude, thanks”

Activity 2. Reading
If you live for any period of time in the UK, you'll probably want to open a bank
account to save money. There are two main types of accounts: a current account and a savings
account.
You can use a current account for your day-to-day banking needs. Your bank might give
you a checkbook, which allows you to write check to pay for goods and services. You'll
probably also have a bank card (ATM) which allows you to withdraw cash from cash
machines (also known as atm or "hole in the wall" machines) and to pay for goods in shops. You
get a secret pin number (personal identification number) that you use when you withdraw cash.
If you receive a check, you can pay it in or deposit it at your bank. You can also pay in
cash (money). If you want to convert your cheque into cash, you can cash the check. Some
companies can also pay money into your account via a direct bank transfer.
A savings account should pay you interest. Most banks give you a different rate of
interest depending on how much you are saving, and how much notice you give before
withdrawing money. However, when you lend money from the bank, then the bank gives you a
loan, you need to pay interest to the bank.
In the UK, people traditionally use banks for a range of services. As well as an overdraft
facility (where you borrow money from the bank), people also get a mortgage (loan to buy a
house), personal loan, and insurance from their banks. High street banks (the sort of banks
which you can find on any high street) are also good places to change money.
Many banks now offer telephone banking and internet banking. This means that you
can manage your finances without going to the local branch (office) of your bank.

Dealing Complaints
Complaints are never a happy occasion, particularly if you are trying to keep a client or
customer happy AND you are struggling with the language. It is important to remember that
responding to a complaint always has FOUR parts:
Apologize for the problem - no matter if you created it or not - no matter whether the issue
is true or not. What you are apologizing for is the fact that a customer is unhappy. That's
not good for business.
Ask for the specifics of the problem - what happened or what went wrong.
Say that you will take action [and take it!], and
Check back with the customer later to make sure the problem was resolved to their
satisfaction.
1. Apologizing:
I'm sorry . . .
I'm sorry to hear that . . .
I apologize . . .
I apologize for the problem . . .
I apologize for the inconvenience . . .
My apologies . . .
3. Take Action
I will send someone to take care of it
We will send the correct order tomorrow
Let me check with the shippers and see what happened
I don't know what happened, but I will get back with you later today
Let me straighten this out and I will get back to you today with the
solution.
4. Check back - after the situation has been corrected
Ms. Chen, did everything work out to your satisfaction?
Mr. Wozniak, I wanted to see if the problem has been resolved to your
satisfaction.
Did everything work out okay?
Did you get what you needed/wanted?
Practice the two dialogs below with a partner. Be sure to exchange roles so that are both the
person with a complaint and the person responding to the complaint.
We are now living in what some people call the digital age. It means that
computers have become an essential part of our lives. Young people who have
grown up with PCs and mobile phones are often called the digital generation.
Computers help students to perform mathematical operations and improve
their math skill. They are used to access the internet, and to do basic
research, and to communicate with other students around the world. Teacher
use projectors and interactive whiteboards to give presentations and teach
sciences, history or language courses. PCs are also used for administrative
purposes, school use word processors to write letters, and databases to keep
records of students and teachers. A school website allows teacher to publish
exercises for students to complete online task. Students can also enrol for
courses via the website and parents can download official report.
Mobiles let you make voice calls, send texts, email people and download
logos, ringtones or games. With a built-in camera, you can send pictures and
make video calls in face-to-face mode. New Smartphone combine a telephone
with web access, video, a games console, and MP3 player, a personal digital

In Banks, computers store information about the money held by each
customer and enable staff to access large databases and to carry out financial
transactions at high speed. They also control the cash points, or ATM
(automatic tell machines), which dispense money to customers by the use of a
PIN-protected card. People use a chip and PIN card to pay for goods and
services. Instead of using a signature to verify payments, customers are asked
to enter four digits PIN, the same number used at cash point. This system
makes transactions more secure. With online banking, clients can easily pay bills
and transfer money from the comfort of their homes.
Airline pilots use computers to help them control the plane. For example,
monitor display data about fuel consumption and weather conditions. In airport
control tower, computers are used to manage radar system and regulate air
traffic.

other stuff. Additionally, in this multimedia era, students need more to reach their
presented subject easily. Of course it will need more cost but it will deserve for
its function.
First, modern schools tend to apply fast transferring knowledge because the
school needs to catch the target of curriculum. Every subject will tend to be given
subject. Since there is a laptop on every student’s desk, this method will
there is an online shop which provides comprehensive information. The best is that
the shop has service of online shopping. The students just need to brows that
online shop, decide which computer or laptop they need, and then complete the
transaction. After that the laptop will be delivered to the students' houses. That
for students who want to catch the best result for their study. Buying laptop
online is advisable because it will cut the price. This online way is recommended
since online shop also provides several laptop types. Students just need to decide

Model Exposure
Life in village and city is marked by lots of differences. The village life is simple and not
endowed with so many career opportunities and enjoyments. There are no universities or
colleges to study and parents in turn, send kids for further study to cities.
City life, as it appears or taken for, is full of fun and a bubbling platform of growth
opportunities. Living in city has its own advantages. City life gives you ample facilities to ease
the lifestyle. There are universities, hospitals with cutting edge technology and treatments,
discos, bars, multiplexes, banks, auditoriums, golf courses, clubs, hostels and stadiums. Villagers
need to come to cities for treatment to hospitals and bank sometimes even for simplest of
transactions.
However, on the other hand, there are some striking differences too that would make
village life-a life worth living for. For instance, just glance around and you will find that most of
city people do not have even time to stop by and enjoy the facilities that city life has given them.
They are rushing around. Most of them are unfriendly and won’t even stop to tell an address or
guide someone. The increasing numbers of factories, industries and mills have amplified the
pollutions in cities and everyday city dwellers have to win the battles with noise, visual and air
pollutions.
On the contrary, village life is without any pollution and calm. No wonder that most of
individuals want to return to their roots after retirement and enjoy the simplified and beautiful
village life. The people living village life are friendly and warm-hearted. They are pleasant and
very helpful.
