study together. We never played together. Now we are best friends. We study together, play
together, and cry together too."
3. Udin: "What are you carrying?
Beni: "They are toy cars. I collected them when I was in elementary school. I do not collect them
now. I'm going to give them to Ucok, my cousin."
Edo: "Look! They are playing marbles. It was my favorite game in primary school. But now I never
play marbles anymore. I have so many things to do at home and at school. Did you play
marbles too?
Dayu : "Yes, I did. But I did not do it very well. I always lost the game."
5. Udin
Udin: "You did not like Math in primary school. Right?

favorite subject because Mr. Sihombing explains it clearly."
6. Miss Ina : "Is Edo here?"
Dayu
"No. he is sick. He caught the flu yesterday. He walked home when it was raining hard."
7. Lina : "Are you going to eat your lunch?"
Siti : "No. It was my breakfast, not my lunch. I did not have breakfast before I went to school this
moming. I woke up at six because I went to bed very late last night. I did my homework until ten.
8. Siti
: You know I usually come on time to school. I am never late. But this morning I got a flat tire.
Then I walked with my bike here. I got here at six fifty, and the gate was already closed. So
here we are, not attending the flag ceremony.
