Text for question 8 to10.


Dear, Rosa
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with a girlfriend. She is twenty-five years old. We
have been dating each other for years, since we were high school students. Now we have jobs. I feel
very sure that we love each other. Now it is time for me to get married. Unfortunately, her parents
never approve of our relationship ever since the very first time. My family, anyhow, does not really
mind. At first, I thought my girlfriend had the power to defend our love. But then she surrendered. She
loves, me and she loves her family, too. On the one hand she said, "I'll be happy if my family is happy." It
means she had to get approval from her parents.
For this I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our relationship just at the time when I was
ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot in common and there were
no conflicts. The truth was, we separated only because of her parents. They want her to marry her
cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in the Karonese).
For the time being I am very upset. When I miss her I call her. Then we can eat together, talk together
for hours. We act like elating because she loves me, too. The real problem is, she cannot refuse what her
parents want. So, should I forget my girlfriend, the only one that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait,
and dream that one day she will be back to me?
Rio N., Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her your girlfriend, but she has chosen her own way. For this reason I’d, say that there is nothing
you can do except forget her and go on with your normal life. Hopefully you can find another and live
happily forever.
Rossa

For many years people believed that the cleverest animals after man were the chimpanzees.
Now, however, there is a proof that dolphins may be even cleverer than these big apes.
Although a dolphin lives in the sea, it is not a fish. It is a mammal. It is in many ways, therefore,
like a human being.
Dolphins have a simple language. They are able to talk to one another. It may be possible for
man to learn how to talk to dolphins. But, this will not be easy because dolphins cannot hear the
kind of sounds man can make. If man wants to talk to dolphins, therefore, he will have to make a
third language which both he and the dolphins can understand.
