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 Jonny,
Hello! How are you? I received your letter today. I am very excited to hear that you are coming
to stay with me for the holidays. I am sure we will have a lot of fun together.
My parents have agreed to let you stay with me. They offered to pick you up at the airport. All
you have to do is to tell us when you are coming.
I will now tell you about some of the things you will experience here in Indonesia. You do not
have to worry about the local spicy food. We have a lot of fast food restaurants here like the

You can also shop for souvenirs to bring home. Sarinah or Blok M are our famous shopping
areas. They have many shops selling all kinds of things. I am sure you will love them.
