Pertemuan ke 4.
A certain student passed all his school examinations and then went to the semester at the
university to continue his studies. There he put his name down for a course in LAW, but after
the first lecture,he did not go to anymore. The LAW lecturer noticed that this student was
always absent and thought that he had changed to another course, so he was very surprised
when he saw the boy’s name on the list of students who wanted to take the LAW examination
at the end of the semester.
The lecturer had prepared a very difficult examination paper, which followed his lectures
very closely, and he was eager to see how this student answered the questions. He expected
that his answers would be very bad; but when he examined them carefully, he was able to
find only one small mistake in them. As this surprised him very much, he went through the
paper again and again for three times, but was still not able to find more than that one small
mistake, so he sent for the student to question him about his work.
When the student had come into the room and had sat down, the Professor said to him, ‘I
know that you came only to my first lecture and that you have been absent from all the
others; but now I have examined your answer paper very carefully and I have been able to
find only one small mistake in it.I am curious to know your explanation for that.’
‘Oh, I am very sorry about that mistake, Sir,’ answered the student. ‘After the
xaminationation, I realized what I ought to have written. I would not have made that mistake
if I had not been confused by your first lecture.’

Before you answer the three questions below, please read the poassage again and again. Be
sure that you understand it. Then, Now you translate it into good Indonesian. Send to me your
translation and the answers of the three questions below as the time mentioned at the end of
this paper.

Terjemahan
Seorang siswa tertentu lulus semua ujian sekolahnya dan kemudian pergi ke semester di
universitas untuk melanjutkan studinya. Di sana ia menuliskan namanya untuk mata kuliah
HUKUM, tetapi setelah kuliah pertama, dia tidak melanjutkannya lagi. Dosen HUKUM itu
memperhatikan bahwa mahasiswa ini selalu bolos dan mengira telah pindah ke mata kuliah
lain, sehingga dia sangat terkejut ketika melihat nama anak laki-laki itu dalam daftar
mahasiswa yang ingin mengikuti ujian HUKUM di akhir semester.
Dosen telah menyiapkan makalah ujian yang sangat sulit, yang mengikuti kuliahnya dengan
sangat cermat, dan dia sangat ingin melihat bagaimana siswa ini menjawab pertanyaan. Dia
berharap jawabannya akan sangat buruk; tetapi ketika dia memeriksanya dengan cermat, dia
hanya dapat menemukan satu kesalahan kecil di dalamnya. Karena hal ini sangat
mengejutkannya, dia memeriksa kertas itu berulang kali selama tiga kali, tetapi masih tidak
dapat menemukan lebih dari satu kesalahan kecil itu, jadi dia menyuruh siswa itu untuk
menanyainya tentang pekerjaannya.
Ketika siswa itu masuk ke ruangan dan duduk, Profesor berkata kepadanya, 'Saya tahu bahwa
Anda hanya datang ke kuliah pertama saya dan Anda telah absen dari yang lainnya; tetapi
sekarang saya telah memeriksa kertas jawaban Anda dengan sangat hati-hati dan saya hanya
dapat menemukan satu kesalahan kecil di dalamnya.
Saya ingin tahu penjelasan Anda tentang itu.’
“Oh, saya sangat menyesal atas kesalahan itu, Pak,” jawab siswa itu. 'Setelah pemeriksaan,
saya menyadari apa yang seharusnya saya tulis. Saya tidak akan membuat kesalahan itu jika
saya tidak bingung dengan kuliah pertama Anda.
