chair.)
Salon Staff: Good morning, Mia. We are planning to introduce more in-depth facial
treatments in our salon. What do you think about this idea? (Selamat pagi, Mia. Kami
 berencana untuk memperkenalkan perawatan wajah yang lebih mendalam di salon kami.
Bagaimana pendapatmu tentang ide ini?)
Customers: Good morning, Sarah. That sounds interesting. I always feel comfortable here.
More in-depth facial treatments will surely catch the attention of other customers as well.
(Selamat pagi, Sarah. Terdengar menarik. Saya selalu merasa nyaman di sini. Perawatan
wajah yang lebih mendalam pasti akan menarik perhatian pelanggan lain juga.)
Salon Staff: I'm glad to hear that. Do you think there are any other changes we should
consider? (Saya senang mendengarnya. Apakah menurutmu ada perubahan lain yang
sebaiknya kami pertimbangkan?)
Customers: So far, I'm pretty happy with all the services you offer. But maybe thinking
about some package promotions that include the in-depth facial treatment could be a good
idea. (Sampai saat ini, saya cukup puas dengan semua layanan yang Anda tawarkan.
Tetapi mungkin memikirkan beberapa paket promosi yang mencakup perawatan wajah
mendalam bisa menjadi ide yang baik.)
Salon Staff: That's a great idea, Mia. We will look into designing that. Thank you for your
opinion! (Itu ide bagus, Mia. Kami akan mempertimbangkan untuk merancangnya. Terima
kasih atas masukanmu!)

bagaimana pendapatmu untuk mencoba warna rambut yang lebih cerah untuk musim
panas ini?)
Mark: I've always been curious about blonde hair. What's your opinion on that, Alex?
(Saya selalu penasaran tentang rambut berwarna pirang. Apa pendapatmu tentang itu,
Alex?)
Alex: I think a blonde color would complement your skin tone and give a fresh look for
the summer. How about we give it a try? (Saya pikir warna pirang akan menambahkan
kecocokan dengan warna kulitmu dan memberikan tampilan segar untuk musim panas.
Bagaimana jika kita mencobanya?)
Mark: I agree. Let's do it! (Saya setuju. Mari kita mencobanya!)
