Contoh Dialog Giving Advice :

Tara : Hello Gina, what are you doing in this library?

Gina : Oh, Hello Tara. I’m searching for a book that might be useful for my mathematics
learning . I am really awful with it.
Tara : Well, If I were you, I would study more.
Gina : Yeah, I know. But could you give me a suggest? Because mathematics seems so boring
to me.

understand?
