Conversation Offering Help
Lana: I don’t think I will pass chemistry this semester. (Sepertinya aku
nggak akan lulus pelajaran kimia semester ini.)

Mia: What? Why? (Apa? Kenapa?)

Lana: I got C- for my last assignment. As well as for my other


assignments. (Tugas terakhirku dapat nilai C minus. Tugas-tugasku yang
lain juga dapat nilai segitu, sih.)

Mia: Well, there will still be a final test, right? What did you get for the
midterm test? (Nah, kan masih ada ujian akhir. Memang kamu dapat apa
waktu ujian tengah semester kemarin?)

Lana: B-. (B minus.)

Mia: Well, that’s a start. Don’t give up just yet. We still have three weeks
before finals. Can I help you with anything? (Nah, itu nggak jelek, kan.
Jangan menyerah dulu. Kita masih punya tiga minggu sebelum ujian
akhir. Ada yang bisa aku bantu?)
Lana: I suppose I could have a little tutoring with
chemistry. (Rasanya aku butuh les kimia sedikit- sedikit, deh.)

Mia: I can help you with that! Would you like me to tutor you?
(Aku bisa membantumu! Maukah kamu kuajari belajar?)

Lana: If you could, and if you don’t mind… (Kalau kamu bisa, dan
kalau kamu nggak keberatan…)

Mia: Of course, I don’t mind! I would love to! Let’s start with three
days a week, just an hour each after school. You pick the days.
How about that? (Nggak lah! Aku malah senang! Kita mulai
dengan tiga kali seminggu ya, sejam saja sepulang sekolah. Kamu
pilih harinya. Gimana?)

Lana: Thank you so much, Mia! (Terima kasih banyak, Mia!)
