B. Find some expressions of agreement and disagreement.
Please read the dialog carefully.
Siti : “I think we need a lot of money to make a wall magazine.”
Edo : “I don’t think so. We can use used paper. We can also use used wood for the frame.”
Lina : “Yes we can, so we do not need a lot of money to make a wall magazine.
What we need is hard work.”
Edo : “What should our wall magazine contain?
Can we put any writing we have made there?”
Udin : “I don’t think so. We should not just put anything there.
The texts should be good and interesting.”
Lina : “And, there should not be many mistakes there.”
Udin : “I think only good texts, with few or no mistakes can be published.”
Edo : “But how do we know that a text is good enough to publish?”
Dayu : “I think our English teachers can help check our English.
Do you think Mrs. Tini is willing to be the editor of our wall magazine?”
Lina : “It seems that none of us knows how to make a wall magazine.
What if we go to Mrs. Tini and ask her for advice. I think she has a lot of good ideas.”
Siti : “I think so too. Let’s go to her now.”
Dayu : “I don’t think we can see her now. She is in the staff meeting.”
Beni : “Why don’t we go back to SMP Sumber Ilmu tomorrow to look closely at their wall magazine? We will know what kinds of texts are published there.”
Edo : “I agree with Beni. We will also look at the layout and the decoration.
