not believe it, but it is true. His company went bankrupt and closed. From now
on, we have to live carefully. My father has to sell our property before he can
find a new job. Unfortunately, he cannot get one up untill now.
Hanum, something that makes me feel worse is my friends. They used to come
and play with me. They used to ride my bike, play my CDs, even use my
handphone. But now, when my family becomes poor, no one comes to me. They
may have forgotten me. I think you are the only friend I have now.
I do hope we can meet soon. I really need to meet you.

Dear Jamal,

It’s nice to have your letter. I’m glad that your father has bought a new car. What
colour is it? You wrote that he drives you to school everyday. Therefore, you don’t need to
take city bus. We have a car too. It’s colour is silver.
I don’t go to school by car. Here, students go to school by subway. Therefore,
subway stations are very crowded in the morning.
Do you know what a subway is? The subway has underground trains that travel
around the city. We use subway as you use city buses. The buses travel on city streets, but
subway travels in tunnels underneath the streets. They are powered by electricity.
How is your school going? Your English has improved a lot. I’m very happy to have
you as friend. It’s very nice to write to you. However, it’s twelve o’clock. I have to go to
bed. I will write again soon.
Send my warm regards to your parents and your sister, Jameela.

Best wishes,

Josh

Dear Ms. Fiona,

I came to Indonesia from Australia. In my country we consider that our time is so
valuable, so we try to be punctual when making an appointment.
However, it is not for some Indonesia people. When I make appointment with
Indonesian friends, they often come late. What I’m annoyed with is that sometimes they don’t
apologize for being late. How can this thing happen so many times? What should I tell my
friends?
