Module 4

Planning and Discussing a Trip

The main aim of Module 4 is to provide you with the vocabulary, sentence shells and culturalskills that will enable you to plan a future visit to Indonesia and express a variety of opinions aboutit. The module will also help you consolidate the skill introduced in Module 3 of stringing sen-tences together into extended narratives.

The Module provides the vocabulary you will need to talk about travel. There is special em-phasis on developing your capacity to talk about the future. You will learn the names of months ofthe year and how to say dates. You will also get more practice expressing opinions and prefer-ences. You will learn how to disagree with someone and conduct an elementary debate. TheModule also provides some basic information about the geography of Indonesia and some of thecountry’s travel facilities.

There are a number of role plays in the Module, all of which help you to speak more fluentlyabout travel. Like building blocks they contribute to the culminating role play in which four travelagents compete for the business of a traveller.

Lesson 48

Talking About The Future

Aims

• To practise talking about the future with the words akan, seandainya and kalau.

Vocabulary Review

Here are some of the frequent words used in this lesson that have appeared in previous les-sons. Make sure that you remember their meanings.

berangkat to depart menang to wincapai to be tired mengajar to teachkapan when (in a question) menolong to helpkaya rich sampai until, as far asmemanggil to call setiap every, eachmembayar to pay terus to continue to…

Using Akan to Talk about the Future

You have already met the word akan several times in previous lessons, initially in Lesson 4.Akan is a helper word or auxiliary. It usually appears directly in front of a verb and indicates thatsomething is going to happen in the future.

Nanti malam saya akan pergi ke pesta.Tonight I’m going to go to a party.Besok malam mereka akan tinggal di Hotel Palapa.Tomorrow night they are going to stay at the Palapa Hotel.Pada hari Selasa Ibu Laila akan berangkat ke Manado.Mrs Laila is going to leave for Manado on Tuesday.

To ask what someone is going to do in the future you can form a question using the verb laku-kan.

Apa yang akan Anda lakukan besok pagi?What are you going to do tomorrow morning?

As you saw back in Lesson 35 this question is correct but it sounds very formal. An equallycorrect and much more conversational option is to form a question using acara, “something youplan to do, a commitment to do something in your schedule”. So you can say Ada acara apa nanti

Lesson 48

sore? literally “There is what commitment late this afternoon?” or, in better English, “What do youplan to do late this afternoon?”

Apa acara Anda nanti malam?What are your plans for tonight?What’ve you got on tonight?Apa acara mereka besok malam?What are they planning to do tomorrow night?Apa acara Ibu Laila pada hari Selasa?What is Mrs Laila planning to do on Tuesday?

These kinds of questions can be tabulated in this sentence shell. Practise generating questionsfrom it choosing one item from each column.

Apa acara

AndaPak PurbaIbu SantiBudimerekateman Anda

nantibesokhari Selasa

malamsiangsore

?

You answer these kinds of questions with sentences using the word akan. For example:

SayaDiaPak BurbaIbu SantiBudiMerekaTeman saya

akan

berkunjung ke...pergi ke...bermain olahraga di...berbelanja di...berjalan-jalan ke...mengajar di...bekerja di...

Exercise 48-01

Answer each of these questions with a sentence containing akan, mau, or harus.

1. Apa acara Anda nanti malam? 2. Apa acara Anda besok? 3. Apa acara mereka nanti malam jam delapan? 4. Apa acara Anda sesudah berbicara dengan mereka? 5. Apa acara Ibu Tanti pada hari Selasa? 6. Apa acara Anda di Jakarta pada hari Rabu? 7. Apa acara Amrih sesudah pulang dari kampus? 8. Apa acara teman Anda minggu depan? 9. Apa acara Arif nanti malam?

10. Apa acara mereka sebelum makan di restoran nanti malam?

Lesson 48

Seandainya Saya Menang Lotre

Seandainya (also: andaikata) is a very useful phrase that you will use a lot. It means somethinglike “what if” or “supposing”. Seandainya and andaikata are almost the same as kalau (if). But se-andainya has more of a feeling of speculation or imagination or conditionality. For example, thesentence “Supposing I were to help you, would you pay me?” would be rendered in IndonesianSeandainya saya menolong Anda, apakah Anda akan membayar saya?

So you use seandainya to talk about a possibility or a hypothetical situation. If you want to talkabout what you would do if you won the lottery, you would begin your narrative with the phraseseandainya.

Study the following passage. Pay particular attention to the use of the helper word akan indic-ating something that will (or in this case, hypothetically might) happen in the future. Note, how-ever, that the use of akan is in most cases optional.

eandainya saya menang lotre saya tidak mau bekerja lagi. Setiap hari saya akan bangunjam sebelas siang. Saya mempunyai pembantu yang membuat kopi susu untuk saya. Se-

sudah minum kopi saya akan tidur lagi.SKira-kira jam satu siang saya akan bangun lagi. Saya mandi lalu makan. Pembantu masakhidangan yang mewah sekali dan saya akan minum sampanye saja.Sesudah itu saya berbelanja. Saya akan naik mobil yang baru dan mahal seperti mobilPorsche atau Jaguar. Saya akan membeli bermacam-macam pakaian yang bagus dan mahal.Baju Armani, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, barangkali. Kira-kira jam empat sore saya pulanguntuk istirahat.Di rumah saya akan ada bioskop kecil. Setiap hari, pada sore hari, saya akan menontonfilm. Juga ada kolam renang dengan air hangat. Setiap hari, sesudah menonton film, sayabisa mandi di kolam renang.Pada jam delapan malam saya makan di restoran yang mewah. Kemudian saya pergi ke ka-sino untuk berjudi sampai larut malam. Sesudah bermain di kasino saya minum dan ber-dansa di klab malam sampai pagi. Lalu saya akan pulang untuk tidur.Itu yang akan saya lakukan setiap hari, seandainya saya menang lotre.

After you have finished listening to Sound File 048-01 and read the description, do Latihan 7–8to check your understanding of this narration.

Rambu di Jalan Raya Bahasa

Just a reminder about word order in Indonesian. “Bird’s nest soup” inIndonesian is sop sarang burung.

sop sarang burungsoup nest bird

A “warm water swimming pool” is kolam renang air hangat

kolam renang air hangatpool swim water warm

Lesson 48

The Indonesian word order is exactly the opposite of the English. Using grammatical termino-logy you can say that in Indonesian the adjunct follows the headword, but in English the adjunctprecedes the headword.

This rule holds true for most headword-adjunct phrases in Indonesian, like bioskop kecil, klabmalam, baju Armani, gedung administrasi etc. But when the adjunct is a expression of quantity(like lima, semua, beberapa, seorang, banyak etc.) it usually comes in front of the headword as itwould in English. Thus you say:dua bioskoptwo cinemas

beberapa bajuseveral garments

sebotol aira bottle of water

banyak orangmany people

However – just to complicate matters for the beleaguered foreign learner – some of Indonesia’sregional languages put expressions of quantity after certain headwords. So when speakers ofthese languages are talking casually in Indonesian they tend to echo the conventions of their locallanguage as they speak the national language. Thus you will sometimes hear people sayingphrases like:

bioskop duatwo cinemas

ada rumah banyakthere are many houses

saya minta bir sebotolgive me a bottle of beer

Exercise 48-02

Answer the following questions as if you were the lucky lottery winner speaking in the narrativeabove. Feel free to copy words, phrases and sentences from the passage, but add ideas andwords of your own.

1. Seandainya Anda menang lotre, apakah Anda akan terus bekerja? 2. Jam berapa Anda akan bangun? 3. Apa yang akan Anda lakukan pada siang hari? 4. Anda akan membeli mobil apa? 5. Di mana Anda akan menonton film? 6. Seandainya Anda menang lotre Anda akan minum apa? 7. Apa yang akan Anda lakukan pada malam hari? 8. Di mana Anda akan makan pada malam hari? 9. Jam berapa Anda akan pulang sesudah pesta dansa?

10. Boleh saya ikut dengan Anda ke kasino?

Using Kalau to Talk about the Future

The English word “when” has no single equivalent in Indonesian. In fact, when you try to render“when” into Indonesian you quickly realise that the word “when” performs a variety of differentfunctions in English and has various meanings. For each of these functions and meanings there isa different word in Indonesian. Study these English sentences and their Indonesian equivalents.Observe how “when” is rendered in Indonesian.

Kapan Anda akan berangkat?When are you going to leave?Saya tidak ada di rumah waktu Anda datang.I wasn’t at home when you came.

Lesson 48

Kalau Anda sudah selesai, kita akan menonton film.When you are finished, we are going to go to the movies.Kalau Anda datang ke Semarang, kita akan makan di Hotel Telomoyo.When you come to Semarang we will eat at the Telomoyo Hotel.

It is the last pair of sentences that interests us here. If you check your dictionary you will findthat kalau can be translated into English with “if” and “when”, both referring to the future and bothused in non-question sentences and phrases. You will notice that the sentence Kalau Andadatang ke Semarang, kita akan makan di Hotel Telomoyo can be translated in two ways intoEnglish, viz:

and When you come to Semarang we will eat at the Telomoyo Hotel.If you come to Semarang we will eat at the Telomoyo Hotel.

Indonesian makes no immediate distinction between “if” and “when” – the word kalau coversthe domains of both English words. Indonesian (sensibly, I think you will agree) seems to regardall future events as uncertain, so the conditional word kalau is used to convey “when” with refer-ence to the future. However, if you do need to speak with an air of certainty about a future event,you can add sudah to kalau. Study these sentences.

Apa acara kita kalau Pak Tobe datang?What are we going to do if/when Mr Tobe comes?Apa acara kita kalau Pak Tobe sudah datang?What are we going to do after Mr Tobe has arrived?Kalau saya sudah sampai di Surabaya, saya akan beristirahat beberapa hari.When I reach Surabaya I’m going to rest for a few days.Kalau Anda sudah selesai, apakah Anda akan pulang?When you have finished, are you going to go home?

Note that instead of kalau, you will occasionally also encounter the synonym jika, especially informal speech.

Exercise 48-03

Complete each of the following sentences with a phrase containing akan. Study these ex-amples first.

Kalau kami sudah sampai di Medan, kami akan beristirahat.Kalau Ibu Asti datang besok malam, dia akan menolong saya.

1. Kalau saya sudah sampai di Kalimantan, saya... 2. Kalau saya pergi ke Medan, saya... 3. Kalau saya sudah selesai bekerja nanti sore, saya... 4. Kalau Ibu Santosa sudah mengambil uang, kami... 5. Kalau Bapak dan Ibu Jones pergi ke Jogjakarta, mereka... 6. Kalau pesawat terbang tidak berangkat jam delapan, saya... 7. Jika mereka sudah di sini, kita... 8. Kalau saya sudah membeli ketupat, saya... 9. Kalau saya sudah capai, saya...

10. Kalau saya sudah pulang dari Indonesia, saya...

Lesson 48

Role Play: “What if...”

Here is your chance to reveal your secret (or perhaps not so secret) dreams of luxury. Create anarrative on the topic seandainya saya menjadi kaya, saya akan... (If I were rich I would...). Take asyour beginning points...

• the descriptions of daily routine that you practised in Module 3, and • the short seandainya narrative above.

With these resources let loose your dreams of affluence and extravagance. Keep your sen-tences short. Use the vocabulary you have met in this lesson and in previous ones but try to use itcreatively to say new things. You can talk about luxury...

• travel • vehicles • eating and drinking • entertainment and leisure • homes and hotels • shopping (clothes and appliances)

Among the adjectives you can use to talk about luxury and extravagance are mahal, mewah,keren, bagus, istimewa, indah, luas, besar, menyenangkan. Use tidak akan, or tidak mau, or tidakingin or tidak usah to talk about what you would not do.

Get a fellow student, or your teacher/tutor, to ask you questions about your dreams. Perhapsthey could begin with questions like those in Exercise 48-02 above.

When you have exhausted your imagination talking about your future life of luxury, try thesenew topics. Bear in mind that you are talking about the future (or rather, an imagined future) andtherefore will make a lot of use of akan, kalau and kalau... sudah.

Seandainya saya tinggal di Indonesia, saya akan...Seandainya saya menjadi anak kecil lagi, saya akan...

Lesson 49

Months and Dates

Aims

• To practice the names of months and sayingdates.

Vocabulary Review

Here are some of the frequent words used in thislesson that have appeared in previous lessons. Makesure that you remember their meanings.

dalam in, inside pada on, at, in, by

lahir to be born selalu always

menjadi to become, to be tanggal such-and-such a date

mulai to begin, to start yang lalu ago

The Months of the Year

These are the months of the year in Indonesian. Listen to Sound File 049-01. After the name ofeach month there is a lacuna of about 4 seconds, long enough for you to repeat what you haveheard. Pay close attention as to how the native speaker pronounces each month and try hard notto pronounce them as the months are pronounced in English. Notice that, just as the indication ofa year is usually preceded by the marker word tahun, and the names of the days of the week areusually preceded by the marker word hari, and the hours of the day are usually preceded by themarker word jam (or often also pukul), so too the names of the months are usually (but far from al-ways) preceded by the marker word bulan.

Januari JuliFebruari AgustusMaret SeptemberApril OktoberMei NovemberJuni Desember

49

Lesson 49

Mohon Perhatian!!

It is fairly common for bulan Februari to be written bulan Pebruari and to be pro-nounced with an initial /p/ sound. Similarly bulan November is often bulan Nopem-ber. Some people regard these variants as “less educated”. Note that the letter v isalways pronounced f.

If you want to say “in such-and-such a month”, you can simply say the name ofthe month (as is sometimes heard in English, especially American English), or you can place thepreposition pada (sometimes dalam) in front of the name of the month.

pada bulan Agustus (also: dalam bulan Agustus)in Augustpada bulan Maret (also: dalam bulan Maret)in March

To talk about past and future months, the name of the month is followed by yang lalu (last) andyang akan datang (next).

(pada) bulan Juni yang lalulast June(pada) bulan November yang akan datangnext November

If you are talking about “next month” and “last month” you say:bulan yang akan datangnext monthbulan yang lalulast month

If you are talking about “next month” (the month after the current one) without citing its name,you can also say:

bulan depannext month

Cara Indonesia: The Names of Months

The names of the months in Indonesian are borrowed from Dutch, which iswhy they are a little different from what you are used to in English. Across theStraits of Malacca in Malaysia and Singapore which used to be colonies ofBritain, the names of months follow English conventions. In Malaysia andSingapore you say Januari, Februari, Mac, April, Mei, Jun, Julai, Ogos,September, Oktober, November, Disember.

The Arabic months are also widely used in Indonesia, especially for mark-ing important dates in the Islamic calendar. For example, as we saw in Lesson47, the fasting month is called bulan Ramadhan. Among the Javanese, themonths in the Arab/Islamic year are often given slightly, or completely, differ-

ent names. For example, the first month in the Arab/Islamic year is Muharram, but many Javanesecall this month Suro.

In order to distinguish the years according to the Gregorian and the Islamic calendar, the ab-breviations M (for Masehi, Christian), and H (for Hijrah, Hijra) are often added.

Lesson 49

The Gregorian calendar is the official calendar used in Indonesia. Besides the Islamic calendar,the Javanese calendar, the Saka calendar, and and a number of other minor calendric systemsare also used, but typically they are of ceremonial value only.

Saying Dates and Asking About a Date

When you say the date (that is the number that corresponds with a day of the month followedby the name of the month, and sometimes followed by the year as well), the date is usually pre-ceded by the marker word tanggal (pronounced a bit like “tonguegull”).

tanggal dua puluh limathe 25th.

If you also mention the name of the month as part of the date, the marker word bulan is usuallydropped from in front of the name of the month. Thus:

tanggal tiga Meithe third of Maytanggal enam belas Julithe 16th of July

If you add a year to the date, sometimes the year has the marker word tahun in front of it andsometimes it doesn’t. It sounds slightly more formal to use tahun in dates, and less formal if youdon’t use tahun. Thus:

tanggal 23 April tahun 1996the 23rd of April, 1996

tanggal 8 November 1995the eighth of November, 1995

Finally, to ask “what date?” you say tanggal berapa?Tanggal berapa Anda akan pindah ke rumah yang baru?On what date are you going to shift to your new house?Tanggal berapa hari ulang tahun Anda?What date is your birthday?Di Australia, hari nasional itu tanggal berapa?In Australia, what is the date of the National Day?

Exercise 49-01

Answer these questions in Indonesian. Your answer should have the word tanggal in it. Readthe questions and your answers out loud several times to make sure that you can say the num-bers in words. Some questions require you to include a year in your date, others don’t. You mayhave to do a bit of research to answer some of the questions, so don’t answer Saya tidak tahu (Idon’t know). Study the example first.

Pertanyaan: Tanggal berapa ibu Anda lahir?Jawaban: Tanggal 15 Mei tahun 1960.

1. Tanggal berapa Hari Natal? 2. Tanggal berapa hari kemerdekaan Amerika Serikat? 3. Tanggal berapa Anda lahir? 4. Tanggal berapa ayah Anda lahir?

Lesson 49

5. Tanggal berapa Anda mulai kuliah di universitas ini? 6. Tanggal berapa Anda akan berlibur? 7. Tanggal berapa ada ujian bahasa Indonesia? 8. Tanggal berapa Tahun Baru? 9. Tanggal berapa Indonesia menjadi merdeka?

10. Tanggal berapa Hari Bastille?

Exercise 49-02: Narrative: Pada bulan Januari kami...

Put together a narrative that takes you through the twelve months of the year. Each month hasa distinctive profile of activities. Describe these in brief. Your narrative might begin like this.

ama saya Yunus. Umur saya 24 tahun. Saya kuliah ilmu bumi di Universitas Wid-ya Buana di kota Semarang. Orang tua saya tinggal di Pekalongan, kira-kira 100

km dari Semarang. Tetapi saya tidak sering pulang kampung karena uang saya tidak cu-kup. Saya hanya pulang ke Pekalongan dua kali dalam setahun. Bulan Agustus mulaikuliah di Universitas Widya Buana. Setiap hari saya naik bis kota ke kampus. Kadang--kadang saya belajar sampai larut malam di perpustakaan. Di perpustakaan saya jugabisa bertemu dengan teman-teman. Kami selalu minum kopi dan bercakap-cakap diwarung Bu Noto tidak jauh dari gedung perpustakaan. Bulan Desember saya pulang kePekalongan. Di Pekalongan saya suka bekerja di kebun. Pada bulan Januari biasanyasaya berlibur bersama keluarga. Kami biasanya berlibur ke pulau Bali selama dua ming-gu. Akhir bulan Januari saya kembali ke Semarang. Bulan Februari kuliah mulai lagi.Saya membaca banyak buku, tetapi saya juga menonton film bersama teman-temansaya. Bulan Juli saya pulang lagi ke Pekalongan. Kadang-kadang saya berjalan-jalanke ...

N

You will probably jump between using saya (when you are talking about yourself) and kami(when you are talking about yourself and your family, or yourself and your friends). Make plenty ofuse of sering, selalu, biasanya, kadang-kadang and tidak pernah, but bear in mind that thesewords don’t always appear in the same slot in a sentence. Biasanya and kadang-kadang usuallycome before the subject of the sentence...

(Pada bulan Maret)(Dalam bulan Mei)

biasanyakadang-kadang

sayakami

pergi ke...berlibur di...makan di...menonton film di...

... but sering, selalu and tidak pernah come after the subject of the sentence.

(Pada bulan Maret)(Dalam bulan Mei)

sayakami

selalutidak pernahsering

berbelanja di...mencari buku di...berpuasa selama...berdansa di...

Notice that you can preface the name of the month with pada or dalam, or if you are speakingsomewhat informally you don’t need any preposition at all in front of the name of the month.

Lesson 49

At each of the “stations” (i.e. each month) in this narrative there are opportunities to add detailsand make digressions using the words you have already mastered. If you can, make your narrat-ive personal, describing what you do from month to month in the course of a full year.

Get a fellow student, or your teacher/tutor, to interrupt you with questions as you talk. Some ofthese should be tanggal berapa questions as in Exercise 49-01 above, but there are, of course,many other kinds of questions they can ask.

As always, repeat the narrative over and over, each time with more detail, greater correctnessand smoother fluency.

Once you have finished listen to Yunus’ complete narrative from Sound File 049-02.

Exercise 050-02

Answer these questions with complete sentences.

1. Di mana Anda akan berlibur pada bulan Juni yang akan datang? 2. Mengapa Anda tidak mau berlibur ke Jepang bulan Desember yang akan datang? 3. Kalau Anda pergi ke Sydney, di mana Anda akan menginap? 4. Anda akan pergi ke mana sebelum berkunjung ke Singapura? 5. Anda akan pergi ke Serawak dengan siapa? 6. Berapa lama Anda akan tinggal di Hotel Hyatt? 7. Tanggal berapa Anda akan berangkat ke Kuala Lumpur? 8. Mengapa Anda ingin tinggal di Hotel Sheraton? 9. Hari apa Anda akan singgah di rumah teman di Denpasar?

Berkunjung vs. Mengunjungi

Both berkunjung and mengunjungi are derived from the base kunjung. The difference betweenthe two verbs are that berkunjung is intransitive whereas mengunjungi is transitive.

An intransitive verb is a verb which occurs in an intransitive clause. It refers to an action whichinvolves only one participant, the actor, such as duduk ‘sit’, berjalan ‘walk’. Ber- verbs are alwaysintransitive.

A transitive verb is a verb which occurs in a transitive clause. It refers to an action which hastwo participants, an actor and a patient, such as membaca ‘read’, menulis ‘write’.

MeN- verbs such as membaca or menulis typically occur in sentences that have two parti-cipants:

Ibu menulis surat. Mother writes a letter.

Here, ibu is the actor (doer), and surat is the patient (undergoer). However, meN- verbs can also occur in sentences that only have one participant:

Ibu sedang menulis. Mother is writing.

Here, the transitive verb menulis occurs without its object being expressed, thus resembling anintransitive verb. MeN- verbs can hence function as pseudo-intransitive verbs when they occur ina sentence with only one participant (the actor).

MeN-...-kan and meN-...-i verbs, however, are almost always transitive and do not occur aspseudo-intransitive verbs.

In most cases ber- and meN- verbs are exclusive. A root word either takes the prefix ber- andis intransitive, or it carries the prefix meN- and is transitive. However, many intransitive ber- verbsdo have meN-...-i or meN-...-kan counterparts that are always transitive.

This is the case with berkunjung and mengunjungi. The former can take a prepositional phrasesuch as Saya berkunjung ke rumah teman (I visit a friend’s house) where ke is the locative prepos-ition. The latter cannot take a preposition but must be followed by an object: Saya mengunjungirumah teman (I visit a friend’s house).

Lesson 50

Narrative: Driving Down Sumatra

The vast island of Sumatra is atthe western end of Indonesia. At itsnorthern tip lies the province of Aceh,devastated by a huge tsunami in De-cember 2004. The people of Aceh arefiercely independent and strongly Is-lamic. After a long guerrilla struggleby the Free Aceh Movement (Gerak-an Aceh Merdeka, or GAM) the prov-ince now enjoys autonomous statuswithin the Republic of Indonesia. Be-low Aceh lies the province of NorthSumatra (Sumatra Utara) home to theMalay and the energetic Batak peo-ple, about half of whom are Chris-tians. Its capital, Medan, is Indone-sia’s third largest city and easily thebiggest city in Sumatra. Medan is lo-cated in the plantation belt where to-bacco, palm oil, rubber, and tea aregrown. The plantation workers are al-most all ethnic Javanese and so nu-merous that they are now the largestsingle ethnic group in North Sumatra. Halfway down the west coast and bisected by the equatorlies the dazzlingly beautiful province of West Sumatra (Sumatra Barat) centred on the city ofPadang. The region is dominated by the Minangkabau people famous for their matrilineal kinshipsystem and their habit of migrating beyond their homeland to earn a living. On the eastern side ofthe island, opposite Singapore and the Malay peninsula in the provinces of Riau, Jambi andSumatra Selatan, lies the heartland of the Malay people – the people of the Straits of Malacca—whose language forms the basis of bahasa Indonesia and bahasa Malaysia. A multitude of ethnicgroups have made their homes in the province of Bengkulu, including the Rejang and variousMalay-speaking groups. Lampung is the southernmost province. Here too, immigrants from Javahave outnumbered the indigenous Lampung people.

A rugged range of mountains – the Bukit Barisan or “line of hills” – runs like a spine down thelength of Sumatra. On its jungled slopes orang-outangs, elephants and even a few beautifulSumatran tigers still survive. To the east of the Bukit Barisan much of the land is low and swampybut rich in oil and thickly dotted with palm-oil plantations. The off-shore islands of Bangka andBelitung were once among the world’s major producers of tin and still produce significant quanti-ties of the metal. The big international mining company BHP Billiton got its start mining these is-lands—a fact still echoed in the company’s name (Billiton is a European corruption of Belitung).The provinces of Aceh and Riau are major producers of gas and oil, while coffee, pepper and finetobacco leaf come from Sumatra as well. A highway runs the full length of Sumatra, from Aceh inthe far north, through Padang in West Sumatra to the province of Lampung at the southern tip. Itis called the Trans Sumatran Highway (Jalan Raya Lintas Sumatra).

Lesson 50

Test Yourself

Imagine that you have decided to drive the length of Sumatra down the Jalan Raya LintasSumatra from city of Banda Aceh in the north to the ferry port of Bakauheni in the far south. It isnot an easy trip and demands careful planning. Look at the strip map of the Jalan Raya LintasSumatra. In the space beside the map make notes in Indonesian that will help you plan your tripdown the highway. Use the information on the distance between towns to estimate how far youcan (or should) go each day. Where should you stop (berhenti) to eat (makan), to buy petrol (mem-beli bensin), stay overnight (menginap) and rest (beristirahat selama ... jam / hari)? Write downyour planned date of arrival at each stopping place (tiba di ... tanggal...) and your planned date ofdeparture (berangkat tanggal ...).

Glancing at the notes you have made above, imagine how you would use them to tell someoneabout your planned trip. Run the sentences through your mind in an extended sequence usingconnector words like lalu and sesudah itu to stitch up the information.

Ingin (would like to...)

You first met ingin back in Lesson 40. Ingin is a very common word, but for English speakers itis not always easy to pronounce. It is important not to put a hard /g/ in the middle of ingin. If youthink you might have a tendency to do this, say the English word “singing” first, then drop the ini-tial “s” and the final “g”.

Ingin is used to express a personal wish or ambition and is usually followed by a verb. It is of-ten equivalent to the English phrase “would like to...” followed by a verb. The phrase ingin sekali isoften similar to the English “would love to...”. Study these examples.

Saya ingin berkunjung ke Kalimantan.I would like to make a visit to Kalimantan.Saya ingin sekali menginap di Hotel Borobudur.I would love to stay at the Borobudur Hotel.Mereka ingin pulang sebelum tanggal 25 Juli.They would like to return home before July the 25th.

Role Play: Planning a Trip to Indonesia

In this role play a prospective tourist (wisatawan) talks with a travel agent (pegawai biro wisata)about a visit to Indonesia. Begin with smalltalk of the kind you practised in Modules 1 and 2.Then, using the verbs ingin and mau, and drawing on the resources studied earlier in this lessonas well as in previous lessons, the customer will outline a possible itinerary. The itinerary will men-tion places the customer hopes to visit in Indonesia, mode of travel, accommodation, cost, datesof travel, length of stay etc. At each stage in the itinerary the customer will ask the travel agent forfurther information. Many of these questions will be like those in Exercise 51-02 (review this exer-cise). Some of the questions will be apakah questions of the kind studied in Modules 1 and 2, e.g.

Apakah Medan jauh dari Jakarta?Apakah ada hotel yang bagus di Medan?Apakah bioskop di Medan mahal?Apakah saya bisa naik taksi ke Parapat?

The travel agent will interrupt frequently with various questions. For example

Apakah Anda ingin / mau ... ?Mengapa Anda ingin / mau ... ?Tanggal berapa Anda mau ... ?Apa acara / kegiatan Anda di ... ?Berapa lama Anda akan ... ?Anda mau naik apa ke sana?Di mana Anda mau tinggal di ... ?Apa yang akan Anda lakukan di ... ?Kira-kira apa acara Anda di ...?Jam berapa Anda mau ... ?

...and many more. When the customer has finished he/she will leave by saying:

Lesson 52

Comparing Qualities and Quantity

Aims

• To practise using lebih and lebih banyakto compare qualities and quantities.

Vocabulary Review

Here are some of the frequent words used inthis lesson that have appeared in previous les-sons. Make sure that you remember their mean-ings.

Lesson 52

(than, rather than). So you say:Tokyo lebih dingin daripada Kuala Lumpur.Tokyo is colder than Kuala Lumpur.

Adjectives tell us about the qualities or features of something or someone – bigger? morebeautiful? cheaper? more distant? etc. But if you are talking about things or people and youwant to compare quantity you must use lebih banyak, not just lebih. So you say

Dia minum lebih banyak wiski daripada air.He drank more whisky than water.

In short, when you are comparing adjectives, the adjective is preceded by lebih, but when youare comparing nouns (things, people) the noun is preceded by lebih banyak.

Study how lebih, lebih banyak and daripada are used in these sentences. Note especially howlebih appears in front of adjectives and lebih banyak in front of nouns.

Buku lebih mahal sekarang.Books are more expensive now.Pasar Legi lebih ramai pada hari Sabtu.Legi Market is busier on Saturdays.Katanya orang Italia lebih ramah daripada orang Rusia.People say Italians are friendlier than Russians.Hotel Palapa lebih bersih daripada Hotel Pantai Indah.The Palapa Hotel is cleaner than the Beautiful Beach Hotel.Orang Indonesia lebih banyak makan nasi daripada orangAmerika.Indonesians eat more rice than Americans.Apakah Anda akan membeli lebih banyak pakaian daripadabuku?Are you going to buy more clothes than books?Ia menjual lebih banyak majalah daripada buku.She sells more magazines than books.Saya ingin membaca lebih banyak.I’d like to read more.

Discussion

Choose a brand (merek), a kind of food (makanan), an academic subject (mata kuliah), or a kindof sport (olahraga). State that you like it better than another brand, kind of food, etc. Ask a class-mates what his/her subject of preference is. Interview your classmate and find out the reason forhis/her preference.

Lesson 52

Substitution Tables

Study these substitution tables. Practise generating questions from them (adding items of yourown to the substitution columns if you can) and answering them. To both of these sets of ques-tions you answer ya or tidak.

Lesson 52

Mohon Perhatian!

Look back for a moment at the second of the two substitution tables on the above. Back inModule 2 you studied the verb ada (there is, there are etc.). When you want to say “there aremore___” very often you do not need to say ada. Banyak on its own is enough. So in certain con-texts the word banyak seems to incorporate the notion of ada in addition to its core meaning of“much/many”. You can say, for example:

Banyak orang di sini.There are many people here.Banyak sekali surat kabar di kamarnya.There are lots of newspapers in her room.

Similarly, when you are comparing quantity and you want to say “there are more ____” againyou don’t usually need to say ada. Lebih banyak already expresses the notion of “there are”,“there were” etc.

Lebih banyak taksi di depan stasiun daripada di depan kantor pos.There are more taxis in front of the station than in front of the post office.Lebih banyak mahasiswa di Universitas Roma daripada di Universitas Napoli.There are more students at Rome University than at Naples University.Tetapi lebih banyak orang yang bekerja di pabrik itu!But there are more people working at that factory!

Exercise 52-01

Write a sentence comparing the two items given. Each sentence should have lebih____ daripa-da____ in it with an appropriate adjective. You can compare the two items in any order. Study theexample before beginning.

Contoh: Hotel Lakeside ― Hotel Santorini

orHotel Lakeside lebih mahal daripada Hotel Santorini.Hotel Santorini lebih murah daripada Hotel Lakeside.

Lesson 52

Dialogue: Expressing Your Opinion

The most common, formal way of saying “in my opinion” is menurut pendapat saya, or,simpler, menurut saya. Somewhat informally, you can also say saya kira. Read this ex-change of opinions between Ali and Belinda, and note how menurut pendapat saya andsaya kira are used. Notice also how the expressions Oh ya?, O begitu!, Ah! and Memangare used. These words help to make your conversation more lively and idiomatic. As always,check the vocabulary cards for words you don’t recognise. Now, listen to Sound File 052-01.

Percakapan antara Ali dan Belinda

Ali

Menurut pendapat saya pulau Lombok lebih menarik daripada pulau Bali.

Oh ya? Saya kira Bali lebih menarik daripada Lombok!

Belinda

Mengapa? Karena di Bali lebih banyak toko. Saya suka sekali berbelanja.

Memang benar, banyak toko di Bali. Tetapi Lombok lebih murah daripada Bali.

O begitu! Tetapi menurut pendapat saya Bali lebih moderen dan lebih indah.

Saya kira Lombok juga indah. Gunung Rinjani indah sekali, saya kira.

Memang. Tetapi menurut pendapat saya orang Bali lebih ramah daripadaorang Lombok.

Ah! Tidak benar! Orang Lombok lebihramah daripada orang Bali!

Se-

In Lesson 36 we already learned one function of the prefix se- in the meaning “all..., thewhole...” when it is attached to a noun:

Kami sekeluarga suka berlibur ke Danau Toba.Our whole family enjoys spending the holiday at Lake Toba.

Another function of the prefix se- is to form adjectives indicating that you share something to-gether. Remember that se- is derived from satu (one) as we already know from seratus (one hun-dred). Again, the prefix se- is attached to noun bases:

Dia sependapat dengan saya. He is of the same opinion.

So, literally sependapat means ‘to share one opinion’.More examples:

Kami serumah dengan keluarga Harsono.We are living in the same house as the Harsonos. Tati dan Ratna sekamar.Tati and Ratna live in the same room.Dia teman sekelas saya.He is a classmate of mine.

Lesson 52

Kami seumur.We are of the same age.

Role Play: Defending a Provocative Opinion.

With your teacher/tutor or with a classmate, defend a provocative opinion about the merits oftwo different places. Use the dialogue above as a model, make intensive use of lebih____ (daripa-da) and lebih banyak_____ (daripada). Add a dash of spice to your dialogue by using expressionslike Memang, Aduh! Hah!? and O begitu.

In order to ensure that the dialogue doesn’t die a premature death, make sure that you useonly the words that you have studied so far (don’t let yourself get stuck trying to say somethingfor which you don’t have the vocabulary yet), and “feed” questions or statements to your partnerthat will allow him/her to make a simple but good response.

Before you unleash your provocative opinion you might also make a list of the useful adjectivesyou have studied so far (words like ramai, baik, menarik, indah, kotor, mahal, jelek etc.) and thenames of buildings and places you have met so far (words like hotel, toko, pasar, bioskop, ge-dung, gunung, danau, hutan, pantai, universitas etc.).

Remember to keep the dialogue simple but lively. Give expression to your own opinions, evenyour prejudices. And don’t lose sight of correctness in your Indonesian.

You might begin by provocatively saying (for example):Menurut pendapat saya Meksiko lebih menarik daripada Amerika.

“Lho... kamu kok bisa bilang gitu!?”

Listen again to Sound File 052-01 and then compare what you hear with Sound File052-02. The two dialogues say much the same thing but there are quite a few differences ofvocabulary and grammar between them. To start with, you will notice several new informal(or less than formal) words: sip, ketimbang, pokoknya, mana (check their meanings in thevocabulary cards for this lesson). There are also some pithy particles and exclamations that aremostly borrowed from Javanese and are common in colloquial Indonesian: kok, lho and masak.You will also see several words that have appeared previously in our samples of informal usage:aku, kamu, apa (meaning “or”), kalo, bisa, kenapa, bilang, sih, ya (meaning “also”), banget, luma-yan and nggak. Check that you remember their meanings. You will also see instances of the trun-cation that is characteristic of informal usage: daripada becomes dari, yang mana becomes mana,begitu becomes gitu, berbelanja becomes belanja and tetapi becomes tapi. Some marker-wordsare dropped: pulau (in front of the names of islands) and lebih (in front of adjectives followed by anoun plus ketimbang or dari when you are making comparisons). There is a small difference in thesyntax of the two dialogues. If you want to say (for example) “Tea tastes better than coffee” informal standard Indonesian you say Teh lebih enak daripada kopi. But in informal style you mightsay Enak teh ketimbang kopi (literally “Tasty tea compared with coffee”). Following the same pat-tern, in the dialogue below you hear Lumayan Lombok ketimbang Bali (Lombok is better thanBali). Finally, you will notice that the ultra-polite formality that is normal in standard usage disap-pears in the blunter, more exuberant style of informal conversation.

Note that in the sound file we added extra ‘space’ between the sentences.

Lesson 52

Ali

Mana yang lebih sip, Bali apa Lombok? Which hits the spot more, Bali or Lombok?

Belinda

Kalo aku, lumayan Lombok ketimbang Bali.

For me, Lombok is better than Bali.

Hah!? Kok aneh! Kalo aku bagusan Bali. What!? That’s weird! I reckon Bali’s better!

Lho... kamu kok bisa bilang gitu? Kenapa sih?

Eh... how can you say that? Why, for goodness sake?

Karena di Bali banyak toko. Aku suka banget belanja.

Coz there are lots of shops in Bali. I just love shopping.

Ya betul, banyak toko di Bali. Tapi Lombok lebih murah dari Bali.

Yes, that’s right, there are lots of shops in Bali. But Lombok is cheaper than Bali.

Masak! Pokoknya, kalo aku, Bali lebih sip dan lebih indah.

Come off it, don’t kid me. Anyway, for me Bali’s got it, and it’s more beautiful.

Lombok ya indah. Gunung Rinjani lumayan banget indahnya.

Lombok’s beautiful too. Mount Rinjani is not too bad.

Betul. Tapi kalo aku, orang Bali lebih ramah dari orang Lombok.

Sure. But for me, the Balinese are friendlierthan the people of Lombok.

Nggak betul! Ramah orang Lombok ketimbang orang Bali!

That’s not right! The people of Lombok are nicer than the Balinese.

Lesson 53

More Impact for your Adjectives

Aims

• To practice usingadverbs like sangat and terlalu to add emphasisto an adjective.

• To study some phrasesand strategies that canbe used to defend anopinion.

Vocabulary Review

Here are some of the fre-quent words used in this lessonthat have appeared in previouslessons. Make sure that you re-member their meanings.

capai tired menonton to watch somethingkaya rich misalnya for examplekurang less, not … enough perempuan female, womanlosmen small hotel pindah to shift, to movemanis sweet pohon treemembeli to buy something rumah sakit hospitalmenarik interesting, attractive sama sekali entirely, absolutelymenginap to stay overnight tempat place, location

Emphasising Your Admiration or Disapproval

If you want to say something complimentary or critical about a person, thing or place, there areseveral words you can use to add emphasis to your adjectives – to “bulk them up” as it were – sothey have more impact. You have already met sekali (very), an adverb that follows an adjective.

membosankan sekalivery boring

terkenal sekalivery famous

kasar sekalivery crude/rude

“Gunung Bromo benar-benar indah sekali” shutterstock

53

Lesson 53

indah sekalivery beautiful

ramah sekalivery friendly

modern sekalivery modern

Sangat has the same meaning and force as sekali and comes before an adjective.

sangat membosankanvery boring

sangat indahvery beautiful

sangat terkenalvery famous

sangat ramahvery friendly

sangat kasarvery crude/rude

sangat modernvery modern

Put sangat and sekali together, straddling an adjective, and you double the impact.

sangat membosankan sekalivery very boringextremely boring

sangat indah sekalivery very beautifulextremely beautiful

sangat terkenal sekalivery very famousextremely famous

sangat ramah sekalivery very friendlyextremely friendly

sangat kasar sekalivery very crude/rudeextremely crude/rude

sangat modern sekalivery very modernextremely modern

Betul-betul is another very common and very useful adverb meaning “really”, “truly”, “genu-inely”. Like sangat, it comes before an adjective.

betul-betul membosankanreally boring

betul-betul indahreally beautiful

betul-betul terkenalgenuinely famous

betul-betul ramahgenuinely friendly

betul-betul kasartruly crude/rude

betul-betul moderntruly modern

If you want to unleash the full force of your enthusiasm or condemnation you can bring togeth-er all three of these emphasisers: sekali, sangat and betul-betul.

Gunung Bromo betul-betul sangat indah sekali.Mount Bromo is truly exceptionally beautiful.Warung Pojok betul-betul sangat kotor sekali.The Pojok eatery is really exceptionally dirty.

If you want a more measured modifier for an adjective, don’t forget cukup which you first metin Lesson 10. When used adverbially (like sekali, sangat, and betul-betul), cukup appears in frontof an adjective and adds a modest degree of emphasis, like the English words “quite”, “fairly” and“pretty”. Thus

cukup membosankanpretty boring

cukup indahquite beautiful

cukup terkenalquite famous

cukup ramahpretty friendly

cukup kasarfairly crude/rude

cukup modernfairly modern

(But don’t forget, cukup can be an ordinary adjective too, like indah, ramah and modern, inwhich case cukup means “enough”, “that’s enough”, “that’ll do”.)

A slightly more colloquial way of saying “pretty, quite” is by using lumayan:

Lesson 53

Gajinya lumayan besar.Her salary is pretty good.Buku itu lumayan menarik.That book is quite interesting.

Adding Emphasis to Expressions of Comparison

In Lesson 52 you practised making comparisons of qualities using lebih ___ daripada and com-parisons of quantities using lebih banyak ____ daripada. In English you can add emphasis to thesekinds of comparison by using phrases like “a lot more”, “much more”, “many more” and “farmore”. Indonesian uses jauh for this purpose (pretty much as English uses “far”).

Museum ini jauh lebih menarik.This museum is far more interesting.Jauh lebih banyak buah di pohon itu tahun ini daripada tahun yang lalu.There is far more fruit on that tree this year than there was last year.

Another way of adding emphasis in the comparison of adjectives in English is to use thephrase “even more”. In Indonesian this is expressed in the combination lebih ____ lagi.

Universitas Sofia memang terkenal, tetapi Universitas Tokyo lebih terkenal lagi.Sofia University is indeed famous, but Tokyo University is even more famous.

Rupert Murdoch sudah kaya, tetapi Bill Gates lebih kaya lagi.Rupert Murdoch is wealthy, but Bill Gates is even wealthier.

Study the sentence shells below. Practise generating sentences from them (adding items ofyour own to the substitution columns if possible) and completing the sentences with as muchimagination and variation as you can.

1. Jauh lebih banyak [noun] daripada...Jauh lebih banyak anak-anak kecil di desa ini daripada di desa Kemiri.There are many more small children in this village than in the village of Kemiri.

10. She is prettier than her younger sister.

“Too much” and “not enough”

You have already met the word cukup (enough) and have used it to “fine tune” adjectives inphrases like cukup bagus (pretty good, not bad) and cukup mahal (pretty expensive). There are acouple of other fine tuning words that can be used in front of adjectives in a similar way. Look atthese examples:

terlalu besartoo bigterlalu cepattoo fastterlalu manistoo sweetterlalu kotortoo dirtykurang besarnot big enough (often used as a polite substitute for terlalu kecil ‘too small’)kurang cepatnot fast enough (=too slow)kurang manisnot sweet enoughkurang bersih (=too dirty)not really cleanlumayan cantikquite prettylumayan bagus quite good, not bad at all

Lesson 53

Role Play: Making It Clear That You Disagree, and Why

The Indonesian verb meaning “to agree” is setuju, so “to disagree” is tidak setuju. If you wantto make your disagreement more emphatic you can use sama sekali (entirely, totally, completely,absolutely). Sama sekali can come before or after a verb or adjective. Sama sekali is typically usedin the negative.Saya sama sekali tidak setuju.I totally disagree.

Saya tidak setuju sama sekali.I totally disagree.

To disagree mildly and politely you can sayMaaf, saya kurang setuju dengan Anda. Saya kira...Sorry, I don’t really agree with you. I think...

To disagree emphatically or bluntly (even a bit rudely) you can sayTerus-terang, saya sama sekali tidak setuju. Menurut pendapat saya...Frankly, I totally disagree. In my opinion...

Now with a classmate or with your teacher/tutor go back to the sentence shells above and jotdown a series of statements (say six or seven) that are relevant to your own lives, work and study.For example, your list might have sentences in it like this

• Jauh lebih banyak toko murah di Canberra daripada di Sydney. (from shell 1) • Universitas Cornell jauh lebih bagus daripada Universitas Yale. (from shell 2) • Menurut pendapat saya pulau Hokkaido cukup menarik. (from shell 3)

Your partner will answer using tidak setuju or kurang setuju, perhaps like this...• Maaf, saya kurang setuju dengan Anda. Saya kira jauh lebih banyak toko murah di Sydney

daripada di Canberra, misalnya... • Terus-terang saya sama sekali tidak setuju. Menurut pendapat saya Universitas Cornell

terlalu jauh dari New York. Dan universitas itu kurang ramai. Juga...

Make your answer the beginning point for an exchange of tidak setuju sentences.

Lesson 54

If you don’t agree with what someone has said you can say one of the following:

Maaf, saya kurang setuju.Sorry, I don’t really agree.

A bit more bluntly, you can also say

Maaf, saya kira Anda salah.Sorry, I think you’re wrong.Maaf, saya sama sekali tidak setuju dengan Anda.Sorry, I totally disagree with you.

Or somewhat more equivocally you can say

Saya setuju dengan Anda, tetapi... (then express a contrary opinion)I agree with you, but ...Memang betul, tetapi saya kira... (then express a contrary opinion)That’s quite correct, but I think ...Memang benar, tetapi menurut pendapat saya... (then a contrary opinion)That’s very true, but in my opinion ...

And if you simply don’t understand (or pretend not to understand) you can say

Maaf, saya tidak mengerti. or Maaf, saya kurang mengerti.Sorry, I don’t understand. Sorry, I’m not sure I really understand.

As you can see, these expressions can be used to engage someone in a discussion or debatein which there is disagreement or an exchange of different opinions. Let’s look at an example ofhow such a discussion might go. The topic under debate in our model conversation is (sorryabout this) the relative merits of living in Canberra and Sydney, but as you read the debate youshould also imagine substituting the names of other places for “Canberra” and “Sydney”.

Apakah Sydney lebih baik daripada Canberra?

Listen to Sound File 054-01 before you read the transcription. Try to memorise the dialogue asmuch as you can. After that, do Latihan 2–3 to check your understanding of this dialogue.

Dian Ida

Aduh! Cuaca di Canberra terlalu dingin. Saya ingin pindah ke Sydney.

Memang benar, Canberra cukup dingin. Tetapi kadang-kadang Sydney juga dingin sekali.

Sydney juga lebih indah daripada Canberra. Maaf, saya tidak setuju. Menurut pendapat saya, Canberra lebih indah.

Hah?! Mengapa? Saya kira Canberra tidak in-dah.

Karena kota Canberra bersih sekali. Banyak pohon. Di samping itu, di dekat Canberra ba-nyak gunung dan hutan yang indah.

Memang benar, banyak pohon di Canberra, dan kota Canberra cukup bersih. Tetapi Can-berra terlalu sepi. Sydney lebih ramai.

Memang betul, Sydney ramai. Terlalu ramai! Terlalu banyak orang dan terlalu banyak mobil!

Memang betul, banyak mobil di Sydney. Tetapijuga banyak bus, banyak taksi dan banyak ke-

Lesson 54

reta api. Di Canberra hampir tidak ada bus atautaksi, dan tidak ada kereta api dalam kota.

Maaf, saya tidak setuju dengan Anda. Menurut pendapat saya, museum di Sydney jauh lebih menarik daripada museum di Canberra. Di samping itu, di Sydney ada Gedung Opera yang indah sekali.

Memang betul, Gedung Opera cukup indah. Tetapi saya kira Gedung Parlemen di Canberra jauh lebih indah daripada Gedung Opera di Sydney.

Tetapi kota Sydney di dekat laut. Ada Pantai Bondi dan Pantai Manly yang indah sekali. Saya suka sekali mandi di laut. Canberra sa-ngat jauh dari laut.

Memang betul, Canberra jauh dari laut. Tetapi di Canberra ada danau yang indah sekali, Da-nau Burley-Griffin. Anda bisa mandi di danau.

Hah!? Saya kira itu tidak benar. Danau Burley-Griffin tidak indah. Di samping itu, Danau Bur-ley-Griffin kurang bersih. Saya tidak mau mandidi danau itu!

Pantai Bondi lebih kotor daripada Danau Bur-ley-Griffin. Menurut pendapat saya, jalan di kota Sydney juga cukup kotor. Apakah Anda ingin membeli rumah di Sydney?

Ya. Katanya, banyak rumah yang bagus di Sy-dney.

Memang. Tetapi katanya rumah-rumah di Syd-ney mahal sekali. Harga rumah di Canberra jauh lebih murah.

Maaf, saya kurang setuju. Harga rumah di Can-berra juga mahal sekali. Harga makanan dan harga pakaian juga mahal di Canberra.

Ya, saya setuju. Tetapi, universitas di Canberrajauh lebih bagus daripada universitas di Syd-ney. Universitas Nasional di Canberra terkenal sekali.

Memang betul, tetapi universitas-universitas di Sydney juga bagus. Lebih modern daripada Universitas Nasional!

Maaf, saya tidak setuju. Universitas Nasional modern sekali. Kampusnya cukup indah, ge-dungnya baru, perpustakaannya lengkap! Uni-versitas Nasional nomor satu di Australia!

Hmmmm. Tetapi mahasiswa lebih suka belajar di Sydney, karena di Sydney banyak hotel, bar dan klab malam. Di hotel-hotel mereka bisa mendengarkan musik yang cukup menyenang-kan.

Memang benar, musik di Sydney bagus dan menyenangkan. Tetapi menurut saya, musik di Canberra tidak kalah.

Cara Indonesia: Being Polite in Public

You will have noticed in this lesson’s dialogue that expressions of dis-agreement are often prefaced with an apology (maaf) and sometimes speak-ers say they agree (memang benar, saya setuju) when it is clear that in factthey don’t (tetapi ...).

It is sometimes said that Indonesians prefer to avoid abrasive disagree-ment in public, and there is probably some truth in this (it is also true of manyother cultures). Apologies and gestures of agreement in the midst of publicdebate are probably mechanisms to ensure that adversaries don’t lose face,so that overall the social system remains strong even when people disagree.

It is also sometimes said that Indonesians regard blunt disagreement anddirect criticism of whatever kind as “un-Indonesian”. This is most emphatically not true. Since

Lesson 54

1998, when restrictions on the Indonesian press and free expression of opinion were relaxed,journalists, students, politicians and members of the general public have been able to expresstheir opinions openly, vigorously and directly. It is very revealing to observe how Indonesians areusing the free-wheeling forums of the internet. Some have even taken with enthusiasm to thepractice of flaming, of bluntly criticising, ridiculing and sometimes insulting your opponents incomputer-forum debates. Check out Indonesian newsgroups, chatrooms and popular social siteslike Facebook and Twitter.

Exercise 054-01

Further down you will find examples of opinions and assertions, some of them provocative.Write one or two sentences (three at the very most) giving a differing opinion or a rebuttalfor each assertion. Keep your sentences short, simple and to the point. You may find thatyou can illustrate your rebuttal by beginning one of your sentences with the word Misal-nya (For example).

Also, your rebuttal should begin EITHER with a ritual apology for disagreeing, e.g.

Maaf, saya kurang setuju.Maaf, saya kira itu tidak betul / benar.Maaf, saya kira Anda salah.

Menurut pendapat saya...

OR a gesture of agreement before you present your objection, e.g.

Memang benar, tetapi... Saya setuju dengan Anda, tetapi... Saya kira Anda betul, tetapi...

Study this example first:

Assertion/opinion: Menurut pendapat saya, orang Australia kasar sekali.Rebuttal/counter-opinion: Memang, kadang-kadang mereka kasar; tetapi me-nurut saya orang Inggris lebih kasar daripada orang Australia.

Here are some examples:

1. Menurut pendapat saya perpustakaan kita terlalu ramai. 2. Makanan di restoran McDonalds tidak enak! 3. Saya kira Canberra terlalu sepi. 4. Menurut pendapat saya laki-laki lebih pandai menulis novel daripada perempuan. 5. Kuliah bahasa Indonesia di universitas kita bagus sekali! 6. Saya suka sekali pada lagu-lagu Madonna. Dia pandai menyanyi. 7. Film Inggris, seperti Slumdog Millionaire dan Billy Eliott, bagus sekali. Lebih bagus daripada

film Holywood. 8. Saya kira Sumatra lebih menarik daripada Bali. 9. Harga hotel di Paris lumayan mahal.

10. Menurut saya orang Jakarta lebih ramah daripada orang Hong Kong.

Lesson 54

Debate: “My Home Town Beats Yours”

With your teacher/tutor or with your classmates, debate the relative merits of two places. Thetwo places could be towns, countries, regions, schools/universities, shopping centres etc., inshort any two localities that are large and diverse, and that can be viewed as having contrastingcharacteristics and merits. The secret of a good debate is for all participants to prepare very care-fully. With the vocabulary and grammar that you have studied so far, it is possible to prepare welland say a lot.

Here are several sentence shells that you can refer to as you prepare your contribution to thedebate.

1. Generalising about the attributes of placesThe adjectives in the right-hand column can be “tweaked” with terlalu, kurang, sangat, betul-

betul, cukup, and lumayan (in front of an adjective), and sekali (after an adjective). Try using thesemodifiers as you practise generating sentences from this table.

baguspantai ramaiuniversitas mahalsekolah sepimuseum murahpemandangan bersihgedung kotorrumah jauh dariklab malam di________ menarikhotel menyenangkanpasar indahtoko jelekbioskop kecilrumah makan barupasar swalayan banyaklapangan olahraga besar

2. Generalising about the attributes of peopleThe adjectives in the right-hand column can be “tweaked” with terlalu, kurang, sangat, betul-

betul, cukup, and lumayan (in front of an adjective), and sekali (after an adjective). Try using thesemodifiers as you practise generating sentences from this table.

3. Comparing the attributes of places and peopleYou can compare attributes using “lebih... daripada...”, or, more forcefully, “jauh lebih... dari-

pada...”.

5. Comparing quantitiesAs we have learned in Lesson 52, and practiced under No. 3 above, we use lebih ... daripada to

express “...-er than” or “more … than”. To learn more about comparative phrases see Sneddon’sgrammar 2.101.

Banyak is preceded by lebih ‘more’ before a noun where in English ‘more’ directly precededthe noun:

lebih banyak sekolah more schools

Look at the following example:Di Bandung (ada) lebih banyak sekolah daripada di Bogor.There are more schools in Banding than in Bogor.

Note that ada ‘there is, there are’ is optional. Here we have the same sentence structure withlebih banyak in initial position:

Lesson 54

mahasiswa pandaipegawai kantor ramah

Lebih banyak orang tualaki-laki yang menyenangkan di _____ daripada di ____perempuan cantikpolisi kasar

One useful word that you should use a lot in any debate is misalnya (for example). You can usemisalnya to illustrate a point you are making, and you can use it as a way of attacking your op-ponent by demanding that they back up their argument with examples.

Di Sydney banyak tempat yang menarik, misalnya Gedung Opera.In Sydney there are many interesting places, for example the Opera House.Di kota kami banyak taman yang indah.In our town there are many beautiful parks.Misalnya!? Di mana?For example!? Where?

As you respond to the arguments presented in the debate you should observe conventionalnorms of politeness. You can begin your responses with these expressions:

Tetapi...Maaf, saya tidak setuju.Maaf, saya kurang setuju.Maaf, saya kira Anda salah.Maaf, saya tidak mengerti.Maaf, saya kurang mengerti.Memang, tetapi...

Lesson 54

Memang benar, tetapi...Memang betul, tetapi...Saya kira...Menurut pendapat saya...

And you can interrupt by saying:Permisi.Excuse me.Permisi, boleh saya berbicara?Excuse me, may I say something?

Keep the debate lively – don’t let it “die”. See how long you can sustain an exchange of opin-ions without repeating yourself.

Lesson 55

Cara Indonesia: Country and City in Indonesia

Despite a century of urbanisation, Indonesia remains a predominantly ruralsociety. Although villages retain a special place in the national psyche Indone-sians have very ambivalent feelings about villages and the countryside. On theone hand, villages are seen as repositories of all that is good in Indonesian cul-ture. It is in the village that indigenous traditions are best preserved. The villageis a place of security and tightly knit community. People know and respect oneanother, life is ordered and peaceful, the cycle of planting and harvestingbrings predictability to living. The village is a beautiful place, surrounded bytrees and streams with mountains in the background and lush rice fields at thefront door. An idealised vision of village life is seen in the brightly coloured, veryromantic paintings of country scenes that adorn countless sitting rooms across

the country. As we saw in Lesson 47, when millions of people return to their ancestral homes inthe countryside at the end of the annual Muslim Fast it is an emotionally and psychologically re-freshing experience.

On the other hand, villages are widely seen – even by villagers themselves, perhaps especiallyby villagers themselves – as places of poverty, backwardness and rigid, oppressive rules. Today,more than half a century after Indonesia’s independence in 1945, many villages across the coun-try still lack basic services – electricity, good roads, schools (especially high schools), clinics, tele-phones etc. People have little protection against the vagaries of nature – droughts, floods, volcan-ic eruptions, crop failure. Employment prospects for young people are very poor. In some placesthe once pristine natural environment has been badly damaged. The rate of deforestation in In-donesia is one of the highest in the world. The country has earned a bad name for its annual, de-liberately lit, bush fires that send dense, choking smoke across Kalimantan, Sumatra and neigh-bouring Singapore and Malaysia. Wildlife is disappearing fast. Already the matchlessly beautifulBali tiger and Java tiger are extinct and the Sumatran tiger is under great stress. Orang-outangsare being poached for collectors and birds are being removed from forests in large numbers forsale in the bird markets of the city.

Against this background cities are seen as attractive places of opportunity. They offer employ-ment and the hope of a higher standard of living. They are beacons of optimism. They have highstatus. There is excitement in city living that the country cannot match. Cities are centres ratherthan part of a diffuse periphery. Traditionally palaces were located at the centre of these centres.The palace and its aristocratic culture was seen as ordered, refined and civilised. Today the cityradiates the mysterious allure of “modernity” which seems to be the contemporary transformationof the mystical magical power of the old courts.

But cities have their dark side. Life there can be very harsh, and the hopes engendered by thecity’s aura of modernity can be quickly dashed. For new arrivals from rural areas cities can be, atbest, strange, and at worst deeply alienating. People may be crowded into slums, subject tocrime and pollution, and be ruthlessly exploited. The degenerate character of the city is a motif inIndonesian literature. In his novel Senja di Jakarta (Twilight in Jakarta, 1957) author Mochtar Lubis,for example, pictures Jakarta as a place of extreme social inequality and corruption. The motif iseven more marked in Malaysian literature. In many works of modern Malaysian literature the urbanrich live empty, immoral lives while the poor are jammed into poverty-stricken enclaves. Because,in colonial times, cities in Malaysia came to be dominated by migrant peoples – the Chinese andthe British – with completely different life-styles, languages and religions, Malay people came tosee their cities as unsettlingly “foreign”.

Lesson 55

The Pros and Cons of Living in the Country and in the City

Here is an example of how two people might debate the merits of living in the countryand the city. Although the language is Indonesian, the debate here is generalised—it couldbe referring to Indonesia, but it could equally refer to any country. The motifs of the debate– including its stereotypes and generalisations – are almost universal.

You know most of the vocabulary in this passage already, but it does introduce quite a fewnew words that are essential to a good discussion of the topic. Before you start reading study thevocabulary cards for this lesson carefully so that as you read you are not brought to a stopwhenever you meet one of these new words.

As you read make a mental note also of the exclamations like aduh! hah!, and wah! Notice toothe expressions of agreement like betul, memang, and memang benar. Pay attention to the bluntstatements of disagreement like Anda salah, and saya tidak setuju. Don’t overlook the milder ex-pressions that precede counter opinions, like jangan lupa, tetapi, maaf and nanti dulu. And noticethat when an opinion is given it is often preceded by the phrases menurut pendapat saya, menu-rut saya, or saya kira.

Listen to Sound File 055-01, a conversation between Pak Hurip (pro-desa) and Pak Ahmad(pro-kota) and then read the following transcript of their conversation.

Pak Hurip (pro-desa) Pak Ahmad (pro-kota)

PakHurip

Aduh! Saya sudah bosan tinggal di kota. Saya ingin sekali pindah ke desa. Hidup dikampung jauh lebih baik daripada hidup dikota.

Hah!? Kenapa? Saya rasa Bapak salah! Tidak banyak pekerjaan di desa dan gaji juga tidak besar. Kalau menjadi petani, setiap hari harus bangun pagi-pagi dan harus bekerja keras sampai larut malam. Di samping itu juga harus bekerja pada hari Sabtu dan Minggu!

Pak Ahmad

Memang. Tetapi saya suka bekerja di sa-wah dan ladang, dan saya juga senang memelihara binatang. Tinggal di desa jugalebih sehat daripada tinggal di kota. Di kota orang harus bekerja di kantor atau di toko yang terlalu ramai. Udaranya kotor dan orang-orangnya kurang sopan.

Memang ada orang di kota yang kasar te-tapi ada juga yang halus dan suka mem-bantu. Pekerjaan juga banyak di kota. Mu-dah mencari pekerjaan dan gaji cukup be-sar. Kita bisa cepat kaya di kota tetapi di kampung banyak yang miskin.

Betul, banyak orang kampung miskin teta-pi mereka senang. Mereka tidak banyak uang tetapi banyak teman. Mereka ramah,baik hati, suka tertawa, dan suka mem-bantu. Hidupnya tenang tetapi orang kota selalu terburu-buru.

Untuk saya hidup di desa terlalu sepi dan membosankan. Kalau di kampung tidak ada hiburan seperti bioskop atau klab ma-lam, dan toko juga tidak banyak. Kalau mencari hiburan harus berjalan jauh. Di kota kita tidak usah pergi ke tempat yang jauh. Kalau suka berolahraga di kota ba-nyak lapangan olahraga.

Memang, tetapi jangan lupa, orang di kampung juga suka berolahraga. Mereka sering main sepak bola, bulu tangkis, dan bola voli. Memang tidak ada gedung olah-raga tetapi mereka bisa bermain di la-pangan. Kalau di kampung kita juga bisa

Betul, di kota memang tidak ada hutan te-tapi ada taman yang luas dan indah. Ba-nyak orang yang suka lari pagi di taman. Ada juga kolam renang dan gedung olah-raga. Orang kota suka berenang dan ber-

Lesson 55

berjalan-jalan di hutan. Di kota tidak ada hutan!

senam di gedung olahraga.

Orang desa juga suka berenang tetapi mereka berenang di sungai atau di danau.Lebih sehat dan lebih menyenangkan dari-pada berenang di kolam renang.

Maaf, saya tidak setuju... sama sekali ti-dak setuju! Sungai dan danau sudah tidakbersih lagi. Berenang di sungai atau di da-nau berbahaya karena airnya kotor. Kita bisa menjadi sakit. Lebih aman mandi di kolam renang. Airnya lebih bersih.

Bersih!? Kota lebih bersih daripada desa? Saya kira Anda salah. Udara di kota sa-ngat kotor. Lingkungan juga kotor. Di kotabanyak pabrik, kendaraan, dan orang yang membuat lingkungan menjadi kotor. Desa jauh lebih bersih.

Nanti dulu! Desa dulu memang bersih, te-tapi bagaimana sekarang? Hutan tinggal sedikit, sungai menjadi kotor, dan ling-kungan alam menjadi rusak. Orang desa tidak mau memelihara lingkungan.

Wah... bukan orang desa yang merusak lingkungan. Orang kota yang merusak lingkungan di desa. Mereka datang ke desa untuk mengambil pohon. Mereka memakai pohon itu untuk membangun gedung dan rumah. Mereka mengambil airuntuk pabrik mereka, mereka menangkap binatang untuk menjualnya. Mereka meru-sak hutan untuk membangun hotel me-wah dan lapangan golf!

Hmmm... benar juga, barangkali. Tetapi di kota banyak tempat yang indah dan me-narik. Ada museum, kantor, mal, stasiun kereta api, lapangan olahraga, mesjid, dangereja. Banyak gedung yang besar dan modern.

Tetapi desa tidak kalah. Pemandangan alamnya sangat menyenangkan. Ada gu-nung, sungai, hutan, danau, pantai, sa-wah, dan banyak lagi pemandangan yang indah. Di mana-mana ada bunga, burung, dan bermacam-macam pohon seperti po-hon kelapa, pohon mangga, pohon pi-sang, pohon rambutan dan lainnya. Meng-apa orang kota mau berlibur dan beristira-hat di desa? Karena desa lebih tenang dan lebih indah daripada kota.

O begitu. Dan mengapa orang kampung suka sekali berkunjung ke kota? Mereka datang untuk berbelanja karena di kota banyak toko, pasar swalayan, dan mal yang lengkap. Mereka dapat membeli ber-macam-macam barang: pakaian, makan-an, minuman, perabot, alat-alat dapur, alat-alat elektronik, komputer, buku, mobil– semuanya dengan harga murah. Denganmudah mereka bisa membeli karcis untuk pertandingan olahraga, museum, bioskop dan perjalanan naik pesawat terbang, bus,atau kereta api.

Tetapi jangan lupa, hidup di desa lebih se-hat daripada di kota. Udaranya bersih. Anak-anak punya tempat yang luas untuk lari dan bermain. Kita bisa makan sayur--sayuran dan buah-buahan dari kebun sendiri. Hidup tenang dan tidak terlalu ter-buru-buru. Orang desa punya waktu untukduduk bercakap-cakap dengan teman dan keluarga.

Nanti dulu! Saya tidak setuju. Orang kota juga suka duduk bercakap-cakap. Pada hari Sabtu dan hari Minggu banyak orang kota yang duduk-duduk dengan teman di warung kopi atau di taman. Mereka berbi-cara tentang politik, musik, olahraga, aca-ra televisi, buku-buku, dan berita di surat kabar.

Memang orang kota pandai berbicara. Terlalu pandai! Tetapi pada waktu mereka duduk-duduk di warung kopi atau di ta-man, mereka juga takut. Mengapa mereka

Tetapi bagaimana kalau kita sakit? Kita harus ke mana? Tidak ada rumah sakit dan tidak banyak dokter. Berbahaya ting-gal di desa kalau sakit. Di kota banyak

Lesson 55

takut? Karena kota tidak aman. Terlalu banyak penjahat dan juga terlalu banyak kendaraan di jalan. Jalan penuh dengan bermacam-macam kendaraan yang ber-gerak cepat. Kota berbahaya! Di desa ti-dak ada kejahatan dan juga tidak banyak kendaraan. Desa jauh lebih aman daripa-da kota.

dokter, banyak rumah sakit yang besar dan lengkap.

Memang benar, banyak rumah sakit di kota karena lingkungan yang tidak sehat membuat orang kota sakit. Di kampung ti-dak perlu banyak rumah sakit karena hi-dupnya aman dan sehat.

Tetapi di kota banyak sekolah yang ba-gus. Juga ada universitas, perpustakaan yang besar dan lengkap, dan juga ada museum. Untuk anak muda dan mahasis-wa belajar di kota jauh lebih baik daripadabelajar di desa. Di desa, apakah kita bisa belajar ilmu kimia, sejarah, ilmu bumi, ma-tematika, ilmu ekonomi, bahasa Cina, hu-kum, atau filsafat? Tidak bisa!

Hmmm... memang benar. Tetapi kalau di desa kita bisa belajar dari lingkungan alam. Kita bisa belajar dari binatang, hu-tan, dan bunga. Kita juga bisa belajar dari orang desa sendiri. Mereka orang baik. Mereka berpuasa pada bulan puasa. Me-reka bersembahyang di mesjid. Kita dapatbelajar banyak dari mereka! Orang kota hanya berpikir tentang uang. Di kota ba-nyak sekali orang yang tidak percaya pada Tuhan. Siapa yang mau tinggal di te-ngah-tengah orang yang tidak beragama?Saya tidak mau! Besok saya akan pindah ke desa.

Silakan! Saya akan tinggal di sini... di kota.

After you have listened to the sound file and read the transcription, do Latihan 3–8 to checkyour understanding of this dialogue.

Tuhan vs Allah

The word Tuhan is the original Indonesian word with the original meaning ‘Lord’ whichnowadays is still preserved in the word tuan ‘Sir’. The Arabic loanword Allah is used precisely thesame way as it is used in all Arabic countries: it is the word for God used by Christians andMuslims alike.

However, in Indonesia the word Allah is pronounced differently by Muslims and Christians:Christians always pronounce it the Indonesian way whereas Muslims tend to imitate the Arabicpronunciation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah)

Tuhan is also used by both Christians and Muslims, but the combination Tuhan Allah is onlyused by Christians.

Lesson 55

Mohon Perhatian!!

Many words in Indonesian, including nouns, adjectives, and verbs, can be redu-plicated. One of the meanings of a reduplicated verb is that the activity indicated bythe verb is carried out in a leisurely or purposeless way. While berjalan is to travelwith a purpose, berjalan-jalan indicates that you perform the activity leisurely: ‘totravel, or walk for pleasure, to go for a stroll’. Likewise duduk-duduk ‘to sit around’,bercakap-cakap ‘to chat’, and main-main ‘not serious, in fun’ (from bermain ‘to

play’) also indicate activities performed in a relaxed and purposeless way.

Exercise 55-01

Debate: Hidup di Desa Lebih Baik daripada Hidup di Kota

Bring to life the ideas in the model debate above in a debate of your own. As always, it will beimportant for you to tailor your ideas to the vocabulary you possess, so you will have to look atthe issue of “country versus city” in a radically simplified and generalised way. Don’t worry aboutthis.... we have to start somewhere.

And don’t worry about using stereotypes and generalisations. From the language learning pointof view these are to be welcomed. Making generalisations or using stereotypes allows you to be

Lesson 55

provocative but at the same time to present a good big target for your opponent to attack. Thishelps stimulate talk, which is our prime objective.

The debate revolves around whether country or city is better in matters relating to:• the general character of people • recreation, leisure and entertainment • employment • the natural and built environment • shopping and food • health and medical services • education

Re-read the model debate above. Copy out sentences in it that contain the key ideas youwould like to contribute to the debate. Modify these sentences if necessary so that they expressideas that most closely resemble your own. Turn back to the model dialogue and sentence shellsin Lesson 52 for more models. Scour your own thoughts and experiences for additional inspira-tion. Jot down the points you can make to support each side in the debate. Run your argumentsand rebuttals through your mind.

Don’t forget the key word misalnya (for example). You can use misalnya to illustrate your argu-ments.

Lingkungan alam sudah rusak. Misalnya, di pulau Jawa sudah tidak banyak ikan di sungai.The natural environment is in bad shape. For example, on the island of Java there are now not many fish in rivers.

But you can also use it aggressively to attack your opponents.

Udara di kota kotor sekali. The air in cities is very dirty.

Hah!? Di mana, misalnya?What!? Where, for example?

If you need to interrupt you can use the polite Maaf or the blunt Nanti dulu!

So the motion is: Hidup di desa lebih baik daripada hidup di kota. After careful preparation, andarmed with written notes and reminders, practice the debate first in pairs. Then, with fellow stu-dents or with your teacher/tutor, form two teams. Repeat the debate over and over, adding newarguments and variations with each repetition. As soon as you can, swap sides and debate themotion from the other point of view.

“You Should” and “You Shouldn’t”

Aims

• To practise giving advice using sebaiknya, lebihbaik and jangan.

Vocabulary Review

Here are some of the frequent words used in this les-son that have appeared in previous lessons. Make surethat you remember their meanings.

berbahaya dangerous losmen small hotel

beristirahat to rest, to take a rest menginap to stay overnight

berjudi to gamble pasti definitely

bersenam to work out teman companion, friend

enak delicious, comfortable tertawa to laugh

“You should...” and “You shouldn’t...”

There are several phrases you can use to give someone advice about what to do and what notto do. For example, to advise someone what to do you can use sebaiknya or lebih baik. Sebaiknyaand lebih baik mean something like the English “I would advise you to...” or “I suggest that you...”or simply “You should...” Study these examples.

Sebaiknya Anda pergi ke Bali. Bali indah sekali.You should go to Bali. Bali is very beautiful.Sebaiknya Anda naik bus dari Jakarta ke Bandung. Taksi terlalu mahal.I suggest you go by bus from Jakarta to Bandung. A taxi would be too expensive.Lebih baik Anda tinggal di losmen saja. Hotel Sheraton terlalu mahal.You should just stay in a “losmen”. The Sheraton Hotel is too expensive.Lebih baik Anda berbelanja di pasar. Ada bermacam-macam barang di pasar.I suggest you shop in the market. There are all sorts of things in the market.

And if you want to suggest that someone not do something, you can add the word jangan tosebaiknya or lebih baik. Look at how jangan is used in these examples.

Lesson 56

Jangan main dengan api!Don’t play with fire!Jangan duduk di situ!Don’t sit there.Jangan tertawa!Don’t laugh!

You can soften these imperative statements by using sebaiknya or lebih baik:Lebih baik jangan pulang dulu.My advice is don’t go home yet.Sebaiknya Anda jangan makan di rumah makan itu. Kurang enak.I’d suggest you don’t eat at that restaurant. It’s not really very nice.Lebih baik Anda jangan naik bus ke Klungkung. Naik taksi saja.I don’t think you should go to Klungkung by bus. Go by taxi instead.Sebaiknya Anda jangan menginap di Hotel Mutiara. Ada hotel yang lebih murah.I’d advise you not to stay at the Mutiara Hotel. There are cheaper hotels.

Of course, you can preface your use of sebaiknya and lebih baik with Menurut penda-pat saya, Menurut saya, or Saya kira. Listen to Sound File 056-01 then say these sen-tences out loud several times.

➢ Menurut pendapat saya sebaiknya Anda pergi ke Bali. Bali indah sekali

➢ Saya kira sebaiknya Anda naik bus dari Jakarta ke Bandung. Taksi terlalu mahal.

➢ Menurut saya lebih baik Anda tinggal di losmen saja. Hotel Sheraton terlalu mahal.

➢ Saya kira lebih baik Anda berbelanja di pasar. Ada bermacam-macam barang di pasar.

Lesson 56

Role Play: Dealing with a Kill-Joy

In this role play a young traveller wants to visit Indonesia, but an older person tries to persuadehim/her not to go. The older person, who is perhaps the traveller’s worried mother (ibu yangcemas), or a know-all friend (teman yang sok tahu), or an officious public servant (pegawai yangsuka mengatur), has a gloomy view of travel in Indonesia. Their advice will be heavily loaded withexpressions like:

Lebih baik Anda jangan....It would be better not to...

Sebaiknya Anda jangan...You’d be well advised not to...

and exclamations of horror like:

Aduh!Oh!

Hah!?What!?

Kenapa!?Why!?

Itu tidak betul!That’s not correct!

Berbahaya sekali!!It’s very dangerous!

Katanya...I’ve heard...

They will try to suggest “safer”, more conventional alternatives using expressions like:Lebih baik... It would be better to...Saya kira sebaiknya Anda... I think you’d be better off...Mengapa Anda tidak.... ? Why don’t you.... ?

The young traveller will not be panicked into changing his/her plans. He/She will patiently butfirmly rebut the gloomy advice with answers that display good sense and a knowledge of the real-ities of travel in Indonesia. Many of these answers will begin with phrases like

Memang, tetapi... That’s true, but...Maaf, saya kurang setuju. Katanya... Sorry, I don’t really agree. I’ve heard...Maaf, saya kira Anda salah. Sorry, I think you’re wrong.

A very useful word in a discussion like this is menurut (according to..., so-and-so says...). Forexample:

menurut teman-temanmy friends tell me

menurut guru sayamy teacher says

menurut surat kabarit says in the newspapers

menurut berita televisiI heard on the TV news

menurut biro wisataaccording to the tourist bureau

menurut Pak RamliMr Ramli says

To bring your Indonesian to life in the role play, try to develop an exaggerated contrast in thecharacters of the two speakers. Contrast the gloomy, know-it-all, moaning, carping older charac-ter with the bright-eyed, enthusiastic, indomitable, well-informed younger character.

If the role play goes well, perhaps you could switch roles. An 85 year-old granny (nenek) –young at heart and adventurous – insists on visiting Indonesia, and her grandson/granddaughter –perhaps spooked by alarmist mass media reporting – tries to dissuade her. But before youbegin....

English has just one second person pronoun: “you”. French has two: vous and tu. Dutch hasthree: U, jij and jullie. Indonesian is blessed – or cursed? – with many more.

In the role play “Dealing with a Kill-Joy” you should practise using the two second person pro-nouns we have studied so far: Anda and kamu. If you have to play the role of someone old whomust “speak down” to someone much younger, use kamu when you want to say “you”.

Danny, sebaiknya kamu jangan pergi ke Indonesia. Pasti tidak mau pulang!Danny, I’d advise you not to go to Indonesia. You’ll never want to come home!

And if you are young and have to “speak upwards” to someone much older, use Ibu or Bapakwhen you want to say “you”.

Ibu McAllister, sebaiknya Ibu jangan pergi ke Indonesia. Berbahaya sekali!Mrs McAllister, you really shouldn’t go to Indonesia. It’s ultra-dangerous!

Later in the course you will learn a number of other Indonesian words for “you”.

Lesson 57

Exercise 057-01

You are a travel agent. A customer has come to you seeking information about travel to Baliand Tana Toraja. Using the information in the above fact sheets and (optionally) the mapsprovided with the in-class materials (SH-057-02 and SH-057-03) answer the customer’s ques-tions. Keep your sentences short. Pay close attention to the question to make sure your answerfits with the question. Don’t just answer “yes” or “no”, but give follow-up information.

1. Apakah ada hotel yang murah di Bali?2. Mengapa Hutan Sangeh menarik?3. Apakah saya bisa mandi di laut di Bali?4. Dari Denpasar ke Danau Batur saya harus naik apa?5. Di mana saya bisa membeli kerajinan tangan di Bali?6. Apakah Tana Toraja jauh dari Makassar?7. Di mana saya dapat menginap di Tana Toraja?8. Apakah ada tempat-tempat yang menarik di Tana Toraja?9. Di mana saya dapat berbelanja di Tana Toraja?

10. Apakah ada makanan Eropa di Tana Toraja?

Dialogue: Conflicting Advice

Listen to Sound File 057-03 then study this dialogue between two competing travelagents (agen perjalanan). One wants to persuade a customer to visit Bali, the other wantsto persuade the customer to visit Tana Toraja. They try to convert the customer to their re-spective points of view.

Menurut pendapat saya, sebaiknya Anda berlibur ke Bali saja. Bali terkenal. Banyak tempat yang menarik di Bali. Dan Anda dapat tinggal di hotel yang bagus.Memang Bali terkenal. Tetapi lebih baik Anda pergi ke Tana Toraja. Tana Toraja indah sekali. Anda dapat melihat rumah adat Toraja yang terkenal.

Memang Tana Toraja indah sekali, tetapi terlalu jauh! Dan di sana tidak ada hotel yang mewah.Maaf, saya tidak setuju. Ada beberapa hotel yang mewah di Rantepao. Dan hotel di Rantepao jauh lebih murah daripada hotel di Bali!

Maaf, saya kira itu tidak benar. Banyak hotel yang murah di Bali. Di Kuta, di Sanur, di Ubud dan di Lovina.Tetapi menurut pendapat saya, orang Toraja lebih ramah daripada orang Bali. Orang Bali hanya mencari uang saja. Di Tana Toraja Anda dapat tinggal dengan keluarga Toraja, di rumah mereka!Aduh, saya kira orang Bali juga ramah sekali. Mereka suka sekali bertemu dan bercakap-cakap dengan orang asing. Sebaiknya Anda jangan pergi ke Tana Toraja dulu.Rumah makan di Tana Toraja kurang bersih.Wah... saya tidak setuju! Saya sudah pernah ke Rantepao. Rumah makan di sana bersihsekali. Dan Tana Toraja menyenangkan karena sepi. Bali terlalu ramai.

Lesson 57

Memang betul, Bali ramai sekali. Tetapi lebih banyak toko di Bali daripada di Tana Toraja. Dan barang-barang di toko di Bali lebih murah daripada di Tana Toraja.Aduh, jangan berbelanja di Bali! Kerajinan tangan di Tana Toraja lebih bagus daripada kerajinan tangan di Bali. Barang kerajinan tangan di Tana Toraja lebih asli! Banyak barang kerajinan tangan di Bali yang dibuat di Jawa!

Exercise 57-02

Go through the above dialogue and modify it substituting two new destinations. You will copyout most of each segment of the dialogue above, but you may need to shorten some of the seg-ments, or in some cases lengthen them a little. Depending on the places you choose, you willneed to replace key nouns and adjectives and perhaps construct some completely new sen-tences. For example barang kerajinan tangan may become barang elektronik, and hotel yangmurah may become hotel yang mewah. Your new dialogue might begin something like this:

Menurut pendapat saya, sebaiknya Anda berlibur ke Tokyo saja. Tokyo terkenal. Banyak tempat yang indah dan menarik di Tokyo, misalnya daerah Shinjuku dan Ginza. Dan Anda bisa tinggal di hotel besar yang mewah atau di losmen kecil yang murah.

Role Play: Two Travel Agents Compete for Business

This role play has a cast of three: two travel agents and a potential customer. The customer isundecided about whether to visit Bali or Tana Toraja. One travel agent will press the case for Baliand the other for Tana Toraja. Taking the model dialogue above as your beginning point, andfleshing it out with more information on the two destinations given earlier in the lesson, argue thecase for Bali or Tana Toraja. Make very liberal use of the phrases you practised in Lesson 56 (le-bih baik, sebaiknya and jangan, plus menurut pendapat saya and saya kira). Feel free to interrupt,prefacing your interruptions with the “interruption words” you practised in Lesson 54 (permisi,maaf and boleh saya berbicara?). The “customer” should not be a passive listener, but shouldalso interrupt the two travel agents with plenty of sceptical questions, especially questions begin-ning with mengapa and apakah.

Before getting down to business and debating the merits of the two destinations, don’t forgetto “warm-up” first with some lengthy small talk: greetings, personal details, place of origin, familyetc.

When you have repeated the role play several times – rotating roles and adding detail to yourarguments with each repetition – shift your attention away from Bali and Tana Toraja to other des-tinations, perhaps two internationally renowned tourist destinations, or perhaps two destinationscloser to home that you know about personally.

Berkunjung ke Selat Sunda

Listen to Sound File 058-01, and then read the following transcription:

Beberapa bulan yang lalu ada surat di Internet dari seorang Australia yang tinggal diSingapura. Ia ingin berkunjung ke Selat Sunda di Indonesia tetapi ia tidak tahu ba-nyak tentang perjalanan di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, ia mencari informasi di forumdiskusi Internet.

aya dan pacar saya sekarang sedang bekerja di Singapura. Kami ingin berkunjung ke Se-lat Sunda di antara pulau Sumatra dan pulau Jawa. Kami ingin naik kapal laut dari Si-

ngapura ke pulau Batam, lalu naik kapal dan bus atau mobil dari Batam ke Palembang. Se-sudah itu, kami ingin terus ke kota Bandar Lampung di pantai selatan Sumatra karenakami mendengar bahwa Selat Sunda itu menarik sekali.

S

Tetapi kami masih bingung. Apakah sebaiknya kami pergi ke pulau Batam dulu atau ke pu-lau Bintan? Apakah kapal itu cepat, bersih dan aman atau lambat, kotor, dan berbahaya?Apakah kami bisa naik bus dari Batam atau Bintan ke Palembang? Di samping itu kamijuga ingin tahu tentang hotel-hotel yang murah tetapi bagus dan bersih di Sumatra Selatan,dan tempat-tempat yang menarik di daerah Selat Sunda. Terima kasih sebelumnya atasbantuan Anda.

After you have listened to the sound file, do Latihan 6 to check your understanding of this pas-sage.

Now, let’s continue to the reply of the letter above. Listen to the Sound File 058-02 andread the transcription.

Ini jawaban dari seorang yang pernah tinggal di Indonesia dan pernah berjalan-jalanke daerah Selat Sunda.

nda bisa naik pesawat dari Singapura ke Palembang. Jangan naik kapal kecil karena diSelat Sunda banyak bajak laut. Bisa berbahaya! A

Bandar Lampung, ibu kota provinsi Lampung, ramai sekali. Kalau suka tempat yang te-nang sebaiknya Anda berkunjung ke Kota Agung. Kota Agung tidak jauh dari Bandar Lam-pung, hanya kira-kira dua ratus kilometer. Jalannya cukup bagus, tetapi jalan-jalan kecilyang masuk ke hutan di kanan-kiri jalan itu kurang bagus. Kami pernah mencoba naik mo-bil ke Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan yang terletak di bagian barat provinsi Lam-pung, tetapi kami tidak sampai karena jalannya terlalu jelek. Akhirnya kami turun dari mo-bil dan berjalan kaki masuk ke hutan. Di tengah hutan ada bermacam-macam burung danbinatang. Kami melihat banyak kera di atas pohon. Katanya ada juga gajah, orang utan danharimau.Di pantai selatan provinsi Lampung banyak tempat yang menarik. Misalnya Pulau Kraka-tau. Pada tanggal 26 Agustus 1883 gunung api di Krakatau meletus. Sekitar 36.000 orangmeninggal pada tsunami Krakatau. Di Australia, kira-kira 3.500 kilometer dari Pulau Kra-katau, orang bisa mendengar bunyi letusan itu. Di Sumatra dan di Jawa langit menjadi hi-tam seperti pada malam hari. Sekarang sudah ada lagi pohon dan burung di Krakatau. Ka-lau mau, Anda bisa naik perahu ke Pulau Krakatau. Tidak jauh dari pulau Krakatau, di pantai Jawa Barat, ada Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon.Dulu ada harimau di Ujung Kulon.

Dutch Loanwords

The Malay language from which Indonesian is derived has been influenced byvarious foreign languages, especially Sanskrit, Arabic, Dutch, and more recently,also English.

About 15% of the vocabulary of Indonesian is derived from Dutch. The wordinformasi, for instance, is derived from the Dutch word informatie. The pronunci-ation of informatie is indeed very close to informasi. There are hundreds ofwords in Indonesian that end with –si.

Some, however, are not instantly recognisable, e.g. instansi from Dutch instantie “(government)agency, body”, and garansi from Dutch garantie “warranty” (cf. ‘guarantee’).

Exercise 58-01

In previous lessons you met and practised a number of phrases that can be used to introduceyour opinion. These include saya kira, menurut pendapat saya, memang...tetapi, sebaiknya andothers. You have also practised using connector words like lalu, kemudian, di samping itu and se-sudah itu, as well as the adverbs of frequency selalu, sering, biasanya, kadang-kadang and tidakpernah.

In the report on the Selat Sunda there are several words and phrases that you can use to stitcha narrative together and give it more life. Write a short, correct sentence beginning with each ofthe words / phrases below. All of them appear at least once in the report Berkunjung ke SelatSunda, so before you write, check the meaning of each phrase and how it is used in the report.Your sentences should be inspired by the sentences in Berkunjung ke Selat Sunda, but youshould say something different from what is said in the report. Study this example first:

Contoh: Kalau tidak salah...You write: Kalau tidak salah orang bisa naik bus dari Jakarta ke Padang di Sumatra.

Exercise 58-02: Narrative: Kami Ingin Berkunjung Ke...

Turn the written narrative Berkunjung ke Selat Sunda into a spoken enquiry, adapting it to askfor information about going to Bali, Tana Toraja, Kupang or some other destination. Imagine thatyou are speaking on behalf of yourself and another person, so you will have to use the plural pro-noun kami. Prepare your enquiry by building it around the sentence shells below. Notice that thesentence shells are based on the sentences in the first part of the Sunda Strait report, but they of-fer you choices in certain slots that will enable you to tailor them to the specifics of your own en-quiry. Work through the sentence shells, adding items to the columns in them if you need to, andfleshing them out to create a personalised narrative that is ten sentences long.

9. Di samping itu, kami juga ingin tahubertanya di mana

dan __ di __

10. Kami mintaingin membaca lebih banyak informasi tentang __________ .

Once you feel confident that you have the skeleton of an interesting, correct, personalised nar-rative, add flesh to the narrative by inserting one or two extra sentences between each of the coresentences. For example, you might begin your enquiry like this:

Saya dan pacar saya sekarang tinggal di Sydney. Kami suka tinggal di sini karena Sydney kota yang indah dan ramai, tetapi kami ingin juga berlibur ke luar negeri. Beberapa tahun yang lalu kami mendengar bahwa di Indonesia ada beberapa tempat yang menarik dan tidak mahal, misalnya Pulau Bali, Pulau Timor, Selat Sunda dan Tana Toraja.

As you can see the first sentence in this fragment is developed from Sentence Shell 1, thesecond, third and fourth sentences are “insertions” and the last sentence is developed from Sen-tence Shell 2.

Continue in this way until you have developed a narrative enquiry that is 20 or 30 sentenceslong. Add more “flesh” (i.e. extra sentences) to the bones if you can. Feel free to change the orderof the ten core sentences.

Then, with a fellow student or with your teacher/tutor, use the narrative you have mastered todevelop a conversation in which two people compare their plans or ambitions for travel.

Lesson 58

Saying Long Words Smoothly

In English, words vary a lot in length, and the same is true in Indonesian. Indonesian has wordsof minimalist brevity like Pak, Bu, hak, di, ke, mal, sop and many more. But because it is an agglu-tinative language – that is, it forms many words by “glueing” affixes to basewords – it also hasmany quite long words. Take, for example, the phrases dipertanggungjawabkan penyelenggara-annya (to be answerable for the running of...) and perikemanusiaan yang dipertentangkan denganketidakadilan (humanitarian ideals that are contrasted with injustice).

Foreign learners sometimes stumble over these freight-train-like words. But as you master theskills of talking at length and talking about ideas and abstractions, long words will become moreand more frequent and they will have to roll smoothly off the tongue.

Here are some sentences with a few of the longish words that have appeared so far in The In-donesian Way. Say each sentence out loud slowly at first, giving each syllable about equal lengthand running each word into the next in a smooth, unbroken stream of sounds. Don’t forget that,although each syllable is about equal in length, there is some variation in stress (i.e. pitch andloudness) between syllables. To sum up these variations:

• The second-to-last syllable in a word is usually lightly stressed, i.e. it is slightly louder and slightly higher in pitch than the other syllables.

• The vowel /ə/ (as in the English word “kebab”) is almost always unstressed and is usually followed by a slightly stressed syllable.

Try this sentence first, saying it slowly and trying hard to produce an unbroken streamof smoothly articulated sounds.

Dia membersihkan musala sebelum bersembahyang.He cleaned the prayer room before praying.

When you feel you can do this slowly with reasonable accuracy, accelerate your delivery up toconversational speed.

Try doing the same with these sentences.Pemandangan dari perpustakaan menyenangkan.The view from the library is pleasant.Mereka mendengarkan kuliah yang membosankan tentang kemerdekaan.They listened to a boring lecture about independence.Bagaimana pertandingan di lapangan olahraga di Tanjung Pinang?What was the game like at the sports ground in Tanjung Pinang?Apakah ada pertanyaan tentang perusahaan pariwisata? Are there any questions about travel companies?

Jawablah pertanyaan-pertanyaan berikut sesuai dengan bacaan.

Daerah Selat Sundaeberapa tahun yang lalu, waktu saya tinggal di Jawa Barat dekat Selat Sunda, saya men-dengar bahwa di Selat Melaka dan di Sungai Musi ada banyak bajak laut. Kadang-ka-

dang ada juga berita di surat kabar Jakarta Post tentang bajak laut. Bajak laut itu merompak[to rob] kapal-kapal kecil. Mereka mengambil barang dan uang penumpang kapal. Kadang-kadang mereka juga membunuh orang. Menurut pendapat saya, sebaiknya jangan naik ka-pal kecil dari Singapura ke Sumatra. Saya kira lebih baik mencari kapal penumpang yangbesar atau naik pesawat saja. Kalau tidak salah, setiap hari ada pesawat dari Singapura kePalembang dan tempat-tempat lain di Sumatra.

B

Lesson 58

Beberapa kali saya berkunjung ke provinsi Lampung di daerah paling selatan pulau Suma-tra. Saya melihat banyak tempat yang indah dan menarik di pantai selatan Lampung. Dipantai itu banyak kampung kecil yang cocok untuk berlibur. Tempat-tempat itu bersih,murah dan tidak terlalu ramai. Di banyak tempat Anda bisa mandi di laut. Tidak jauh darilaut ada gunung dan hutan yang indah sekali. Di dekat pantai ada banyak pulau kecil.Anda bisa naik perahu ke pulau-pulau itu dengan ongkos yang murah. Tetapi saya kira se-baiknya Anda hati-hati kalau naik perahu karena Selat Sunda berbahaya.Ibu kota provinsi Lampung itu Bandar Lampung. Kota itu cukup menyenangkan tetapi ka-lau Anda suka tempat-tempat yang tenang sebaiknya Anda jangan tinggal terlalu lama diBandar Lampung. Anda bisa naik mobil dari Bandar Lampung ke Kota Agung. KotaAgung tidak jauh dari Bandar Lampung, hanya kira-kira dua ratus kilometer. Jalannya cu-kup bagus, tetapi saya kira sebaiknya Anda memakai mobil yang kuat karena jalan-jalan ke-cil yang masuk ke hutan di kanan-kiri jalan itu kurang bagus. Kami pernah mencoba naikmobil ke Taman Nasional Bukit Barisan Selatan yang terletak di bagian barat provinsiLampung, tetapi kami tidak sampai karena jalan terlalu jelek. Akhirnya kami turun darimobil dan berjalan kaki masuk ke hutan.Di tengah-tengah hutan ada bermacam-macam burung dan binatang. Misalnya, kami meli-hat banyak kera di pohon-pohon di sana. Katanya ada juga gajah, orang utan dan harimau,tetapi kami tidak melihat binatang-binatang itu. Di tengah-tengah Selat Sunda di antaraSumatra dan Jawa ada beberapa pulau yang menarik sekali. Satu di antara pulau-pulau ituPulau Krakatau. Pada tanggal 26 Agustus 1883 gunung api di pulau Krakatau meletus. Ba-nyak orang mati. Kota-kota dan desa-desa di pantai Selat Sunda rusak semua. Banyak kapallaut yang hilang atau rusak. Di Australia, kira-kira 3.500 kilometer dari pulau Krakatau,orang mendengar bunyi letusan itu. Di pulau Sumatra dan Jawa langit menjadi hitam se-perti pada malam hari.Gunung di pulau Krakatau masih meletus, tetapi letusannya kecil dan gunung itu sekarangtidak lagi berbahaya. Anda bisa naik perahu ke pulau Krakatau. Sekarang sudah ada lagi po-hon dan burung di pulau Krakatau. Tetapi gunung api yang dulu besar sekali sekarang su-dah hilang. Sekarang hanya ada gunung kecil di pulau Krakatau.Tidak jauh dari pulau Krakatau, di pantai pulau Jawa, ada Taman Nasional Ujung Kulonyang terkenal. Hutan di Ujung Kulon masih bagus. Orang tidak boleh masuk ke sana un-tuk mencari kayu. Kalau Anda ingin berkunjung ke Ujung Kulon Anda harus minta izindulu kepada pemerintah. Lalu Anda harus naik perahu kecil karena tidak ada jalan besar ketaman itu. Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon terkenal karena badak Jawa masih hidup di sana.Memang tidak banyak tetapi yang penting masih ada. Tetapi harimau Jawa, yang dulu per-nah banyak di pulau Jawa, sekarang sudah mati semua.Sesudah melihat Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon yang indah dan menarik Anda bisa beristi-rahat di pantai Carita di dekat Labuhan. Di sana banyak hotel dan rumah makan yang ba-gus, dan Anda bisa bermain tenis dan golf atau mandi di laut. Banyak orang kaya mempu-nyai rumah di pantai Carita.Mudah-mudahan Anda senang berkunjung ke Selat Sunda.

Time Zones in Indonesia

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago nation. Its innumerable islandssprawl for almost 5,000 kilometres along the equator. The country is divided intothree time zones. Western Indonesian Time or Waktu Indonesia Barat (abbrevi-ated WIB) takes in the islands of Sumatra and Java. It is one hour ahead of Cent-ral Indonesian Time or Waktu Indonesia Tengah (abbreviated WITA) which en-compasses Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali, Lombok and the Lesser Sunda Islands

Lesson 59

(Nusa Tenggara) including Timor. One hour ahead of this central time zone is Eastern IndonesianTime or Waktu Indonesia Timur (abbreviated WIT) which takes in the myriad islands of Maluku andthe vast, jungle-covered mountains and swamps of West Papua.

So when it is seven o’clock in Jakarta (in the western time zone) it is eight o’clock in Bali (in thecentral time zone) and nine o’clock in Ambon (in the eastern time zone).

By the way, Indonesia does not have “daylight saving time” such as is the norm in countries innorthern and southern latitudes during the long days of summer. Because Indonesia lies on theequator the length of a day does not vary much in the course of a year. And because of its equat-orial location the country zips around at the farthest extremity of the earth’s diameter, so it jumpsquickly across the boundary between day and night. Dawn and twilight are quite sudden affairs inIndonesia compared with the long transitions characteristic of countries in the northern andsouthern zones of the globe, especially in summer.

Merpati Membuka Jalur Penerbangan ke Perth

Listen to this (simplified) newspaper report from Sound File 059-01 very carefully,checking the vocabulary list for this lesson whenever you come across a word you don’trecognise. After that, check your understanding of this passage by doing Latihan 2–3.

Merpati is a member of the Garuda Indonesia conglomerate and is Indonesia’s biggest do-mestic airline. It specialises in flying to many of the nation’s smaller and more remote destina-tions. This report refers to Merpati’s network of services before Indonesia was king-hit by eco-nomic crisis in 1997-1998. After the crisis began to bite, Merpati closed many of its services, in-cluding the service to Perth. Many of these services have now been restored, but Merpati nowfaces fierce competition from a number of new, cut-price airlines in Indonesia’s deregulated do-mestic airline industry.

ERPATI membuka jalur penerbangan baru Jakarta-Denpasar-Perth pada akhir ta-hun ini. Tiga kali seminggu Merpati akan terbang ke Perth dengan memakai pesa-

wat terbang Airbus 310. Dalam pesawat ini ada 210 tempat duduk dengan komposisi 200untuk kelas ekonomi dan 10 tempat duduk untuk kelas bisnis.

MMenurut Tondo Widodo dari kantor pusat Merpati, Merpati sudah melakukan penerbang-an pertama ke Perth pada hari Minggu tanggal 21 Desember yang lalu. Di samping terbangke Perth, Merpati juga melakukan penerbangan internasional ke beberapa kota yang lain diluar negeri seperti Singapura, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Port Hedland, Darwin dan Mel-bourne (Australia).Menurut Bapak Tondo, Merpati memilih kota Perth sebagai jalur baru karena Perth itukota yang cukup populer. Banyak penumpang yang berasal dari Indonesia yang tertarikpada Perth sebagai kota wisata. Mereka ingin berkunjung ke sana untuk berlibur dan berbe-lanja.Di samping itu wisatawan dari kota Perth juga banyak sekali yang ikut paket-paket wisataatau berlibur ke Indonesia karena mereka suka sekali pada pemandangan alam di Indonesia.Mereka juga suka melihat kesenian dan adat masyarakat Indonesia khususnya di Bali danLombok.Merpati dengan jalur baru itu terbang ke Denpasar dan Perth pada hari Selasa, Jumat danMinggu dengan nomor penerbangan MZ-998. Pesawat berangkat dari Jakarta pukul 15.10Waktu Indonesia Barat (WIB), tiba di Denpasar pukul 18.50 Waktu Indonesia Tengah

Lesson 59

(WITA), dan sampai di Perth pukul 22.30 Waktu Australia Barat. Merpati kembali dariPerth dengan nomor penerbangan MZ-999 pada hari Rabu, Sabtu, dan Senin. Berangkatpukul 10.40 waktu Australia Barat, tiba di Denpasar pukul 15.25 WITA dan tiba di Jakartapukul 16.10 WIB.

Role Play: Four Travel Agents Compete for your Business

Back in Lesson 57 you practised a role play in which two travel agents competed for the busi-ness of a traveller. Let’s take the same role play and make it a little more ramai. This time the roleplay requires five actors, four of whom play travel agents, and one who plays a besieged custom-er. The customer wants to visit Indonesia, departing from Perth in Western Australia. To preparewell for this role play you and your fellow students or teacher/tutor will have to go back and thor-oughly review the vocabulary, grammar, model sentences and debating strategies practised inprevious lessons. The role play will (or may) then develop through the following stages.

✗ Introductions and smalltalk (using resources practised in Modules 1, 2 and 3) ✗ The customer recites a proposed itinerary (using resources studied in Lessons 50 and 51).

The travel agents interrupt from time to time to ask for clarification (Apakah...? Mengapa...? Tanggal berapa...? Berapa lama...? Naik apa? etc.)

✗ The travel agents offer different advice on other possible destinations in Indonesia. (Saya kira..., Mengapa...? Tanggal berapa...? Berapa lama...? ...naik apa? etc.) with information on Kupang as practised in Lesson 15, or Bali as practised in Lesson 57, or Tana Toraja as practised in Lesson 57 as well, or the Sunda Straits as practised in Lesson 58. The customer interrupts from time to time to put questions to the two travel agents.

✗ The travel agents argue with each other about the relative merits of two different destinations using debating skills practised in Lessons 52, 53, 54, 55, 56 and 57. The customer interrupts with questions (especially mengapa questions) and puts the case for another (fifth) preferred destination.

You should make maximum use of brochures, maps, timetables, glossy pictures, internet re-sources etc. as “stage props” and to jog the memory.
