Dilogue :
Laras : Hi Intan, do you feel that the weather is so hot lately that we feel uncomfortable?
Intan : I think so. Last night I was so sweaty that I could not sleep well. Consequently, I
had to turn on the AC all night.
Laras : Actually, what’s going on with the weather?
Intan : I do not know, probably because of the increase of volcanic activity or the global
warming is getting worse.
Laras : I agree with the first opinion where the volcanic activity in Indonesia continues
to increase so that we feel an overly hot every day.
Intan : If the cause is indeed a volcano, we can only wait until the Indonesian climate
return to normal.
Laras : It is on May, hopefully on September we already feel the rainy season so the
weather in Indonesia will not be so hot.
Intan : I hope so.
Laras : Intan, have you ever thought of moving out of this country so that you can feel
the snow and four different seasons?
Intan : Yes, I have ever thought so.
Laras : If you get a chance to go, where will you go?
Intan : wish to go to Spain. I heard that Spain does not have a very cold weather. On the
contrary, I do not want to visit England, because the weather is really cold and I think it is
so difficult to adapt.
Laras : That is a good idea.
Intan : What about you?
Laras : I want to move to Canada.
Intan : Why do you choose a really far country? If you want to experience four distinct
seasons, you can move to Japan or Italy.
Laras : I have some family in Canada so when I move there, I will have no problem to
live.
Intan : Hmmmm, it is not funny Laras!
