Joko: Hai, kamu baru sampai. Dari mana? Aku dari Semarang. Nama aku Joko.
Rani: Oh, hai Joko! Apa kabar? Aku Rani; aku baru datang seminggu yang lalu dari Jakarta. Masih
agak capai, bingung dan kesepian.
Joko: Mengapa begitu?
Rani: Tadi waktu di kelas, Bu Laura cepat sekali menerangkan pelajarannya, aku takut bertanya atau
meminta beliau untuk menjelaskan kembali. Takut beliau marah. Nah, sekarang aku menyesal
dan bingung bagaimana aku harus menyelesaikan tugas-tugas ini.
Joko: Aha! Malu bertanya sesat di jalan ya … Guru-guru di Australia tidak pernah marah apabila ada
muridnya yang bertanya … malahan mereka senang. Kita bisa bebas bertanya atau berpendapat apa saja.
Rani: Oh, begitu … Aku ragu dan takut kalau pertanyaanku dianggap aneh dan teman sekelas tertawa.
Joko: Ah, jangan berpikir seperti itu. Setiap murid di kelas memiliki hak untuk didengarkan dan
dihargai pendapatnya. Temui saja Bu Laura di kantornya nanti. Beliau pasti siap membantu.
Rani: Jadi lega aku sekarang. Terima kasih banyak ya Joko. Kamu akan menjadi teman sejati!

Bapak Kepala Sekolah dari sekolah Mahameru yang kami hormati,
Pertama-tama, saya mengucapkan terima kasih atas kehadiran Bapak dalam acara temu siswa ini. Nama
saya Tono, wakil dari seluruh murid yang hadir di sini. Kami hendak menyampaikan pendapat kami
sehubungan dengan adanya rencana sekolah untuk membangun dinding pembatas di antara fasilitas
bermain murid SD dan murid senior.
Perlu kami sampaikan bahwa sekolah Mahameru adalah sekolah yang terdiri dari kelas SD sampai kelas
12. Semua fasilitas sekolah yang ada dipakai secara bersama-sama oleh semua murid. Selama ini kami
sangat menikmati kebebasan, kenyamanan dan rasa kebersamaan yang terjalin di antara murid-murid.
Kami merasa seperti satu keluarga besar dan kami senang memiliki banyak teman.
Dengan adanya dinding pembatas, kami akan kehilangan semuanya itu. Tentu saja kami merasa sangat
sedih dan tidak ingin hal ini terjadi. Kami mohon dengan rendah hati agar Bapak Kepala Sekolah
mempertimbangkan kembali rencana tersebut.
Demikian permohonan kami. Mohon maaf apabila ada kata-kata yang kurang tepat. Terima kasih.

Penggemar olahraga papan roda sekarang bisa menambah koleksi baju dan papan roda mereka dengan
desain batik baru.
Mengambil tema ‘Batik in a New Wave’, Aji Nugroho, perancang busana muda dari Indonesia,
memperkenalkan kreasi barunya itu dengan mengadakan pameran di lapangan papan roda City Skate Park.
Aji dikirim oleh pemerintah Indonesia ke Australia sebagai wakil program ‘Pertukaran Budaya’. Program
ini didanai oleh Departemen Kebudayaan dan Departemen Luar Negeri dengan tujuan memperkenalkan,
meningkatkan minat dan pengertian masyarakat Australia terhadap budaya Indonesia serta memperkuat
hubungan kedua negara.
Selama tinggal di Australia, Aji mendapatkan hobi baru yaitu bermain papan roda. Melihat betapa serunya
desain baju-baju kaos dan hiasan gambar-gambar papan roda yang ada serta kecintaannya terhadap batik,
Aji pun mulai membuat desain batik untuk dipakai pada baju-baju kaos dan papan roda. Aji berharap
bahwa batik akan lebih sering dipakai penggemar olahraga papan roda.

Pewancara: Pada acara ini malam ini kami bercakap-cakap dengan Dewi. Seperti makin lama makin
banyak wanita muda dari desa-desa di Indonesia, Dewi pindah ke Singapura untuk bekerja
sebagai pembantu. Dewi, mengapa Anda pindah ke Singapura?
Dewi: Saya hanya tamat SD saja, dan sulit sekali mendapat pekerjaan dengan gaji yang baik di
Indonesia. Saya tidak mau bekerja di sawah sepanjang hidup saya seperti Ibu dan kakak saya.
Pewancara: Tetapi gaji pembantu di Singapura $250 sebulan, sedangkan gaji kebanyakan pekerja lain di
Singapura $5000 sebulan.
Dewi: Betul, tetapi $250 sebulan itu masih banyak kalau dibandingkan dengan gaji pembantu di
Indonesia.
Pewancara: Ceritakan sedikit tentang tugas Anda sebagai pembantu?
Dewi: Wah, tugas sehari-hari saya banyak! Saya harus memasak, menjaga anak, mencuci pakaian,
membersihkan rumah dan berbelanja.
Pewancara: Anda pasti sibuk sekali ya? Pembantu di Singapura biasanya tinggal di rumah keluarga, apakah
Anda ada waktu bebas atau mempunyai kamar sendiri?
Dewi: Biasanya tidak ada kamar sendiri, misalnya saya tidur di kamar tidur anak keluarga. Saya
bekerja empat belas jam sehari, enam hari seminggu dan kadang-kadang ada sore yang bebas
pada hari Minggu.
Pewancara: Wah pekerjaan Anda sukar sekali ya? Apakah Anda senang bekerja di sana?
Dewi: Ya, walaupun saya sering capai sekali, saya cukup senang. Saya satu-satunya orang dalam
keluarga saya yang ke luar negeri. Singapura bukan main menarik dan kebudayaannya sangat
berbeda. Juga, saya bisa mengirimi keluarga saya uang sedikit setiap bulan.
Pewancara: Terima kasih banyak Dewi. Saya harap Anda senang dan sehat di Singapura. Selamat malam.
Dewi: Terima kasih Pak. Selamat malam.

Akhir minggu yang lalu INDOFEST dirayakan di pusat kota kami. Ini pertama kali perayaan ini diadakan
dan pengurusnya senang sekali dengan jumlah orang yang menghadiri festival ini. Tujuan INDOFEST
adalah memperkenalkan kebudayaan Indonesia kepada masyarakat Australia Selatan dan mendorong
pengertian lebih baik antara orang Australia dan orang Indonesia. Salah satu pengurus INDOFEST berkata
‘Saya senang sekali melihat orang mencoba makan masakan Indonesia untuk pertama kali, menikmati taritarian
tradisi, melihat kesenian modern dan kerajinan tangan dari beberapa pulau Indonesia’. Ada juga
banyak murid dan guru bahasa Indonesia yang datang untuk berlatih ketrampilan bahasanya dan berkenalan
dengan orang Indonesia. Dengan perayaan ini, kami akan mulai menghargai dan menghormati kebudayaan
Negara tetangga kami yang berbeda. Anda pasti setuju bahwa ini penting sekali!
Keberhasilan INDOFEST ini memang akan menentukan INDOFEST pada tahun-tahun yang akan datang.

Teacher: Selamat pagi siswa-siswi, pagi ini saya senang sekali memperkenalkan juara bulu tangkis
Rifky Wijaya. Rifky akan bercakap tentang pengalamannya sebagai juara bulu tangkis. Kalian
sudah tahu, baru-baru ini Rifky berhasil menang kejuaraan dunia. Sebagai warga negara kami
bangga sekali. Selamat datang Rifky!
Rifky: Terima kasih Bu. Saya mulai bermain bulu tangkis pada umur delapan tahun dengan kawankawan
saya di sekolah dasar. Saya sangat senang bermain bulu tangkis dan berlatih banyak –
kadang-kadang tujuh kali seminggu. Karena sekolah saya kurang mampu, tidak mempunyai
gedung olah raga, saya sering bermain di lapangan di belakang sekolah, dan meskipun cuaca
panas dan melelahkan, saya masih harus berlatih. Pada umur lima belas tahun saya berpisah
dengan keluarga saya untuk bersekolah di Akademi Olah Raga di Jakarta. Perpisahan ini sukar
sekali karena usia saya masih muda, jam latihan sangat padat dan terus-menerus, jarang
kesempatan bergaul dengan teman-teman saya dan pergi berpesta seperti teman-teman lain.
Tetapi sudah lama cita-cita saya adalah bermain bulu tangkis untuk regu nasional Indonesia.
Teacher: Terima kasih Rifky. Anda memberi inspirasi untuk kami semua.

Tono Hey Siwi, selamat hari ulang tahun! Hey mengapa kamu kelihatan sedih?
Siwi Waduh, pacar saya lupa hari ulang tahun saya.
Tono Oh jangan khawatir, hari ulang tahun lebih penting untuk anak, kan? Kalau sudah dewasa,
orang tidak begitu mempedulikan hari ulang tahun. Setiap hari sama saja.
Siwi Oh Tono saya sama sekali tidak setuju. Bagi saya, hari ulang tahun penting sekali.
Tono Mengapa – kamu hanya mau hadiah saja kan?
Siwi Tentu saja tidak, saya tidak perlu hadiah mahal. Saya cukup senang kalau diberi kartu dengan
kata kata manis saja, dan mungkin bunga. Dan bagi saya penting sekali untuk merayakan hari
ulang tahun dengan keluarga dan kawan yang dicintai.
Tono Bagi saya hari ulang tahun tidak lebih penting dari hari lain. Setiap hari saya berterima kasih
atas kesehatan saya, teman-teman dan keluarga yang saya punyai.
