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.
Your sincere friend,

Jean

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.

Temanmu yang tulus,

Jean

Dear Susan,

It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it’s only been several weeks since I saw
you. So far my summer has been great!

I spend my all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can no longer say I am paler
than you. I have been playing lots of volleyball, surfing and building a nice collection of sea shells. Just
this past week-end I took second place in a sandcastle building contest!

On the weekdays I work. I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream to the kids. It is so cool. It is
a combination of the two things I love most, ice cream and kids. The pay isn’t too great but I love the job
so much.

I hope the summer’s been going well for you too. There’s only a month and a half left in summer
vacation and after that it’s back to school. Would you like to meet up some time before school starts?

Your friend,

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

so proud of the achievements that you have accomplished both in the operation and (for quite a lot of
