DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 188: ENGLISH COURSE

    Without feeling, it turns out that Melian has been studying in Jakarta for three months. Of course, you have attended lectures at least ten times with lecturers, most of whom come from practitioners. Not only do they hold academic doctorates or professors, but these lecturers are, on average, exceptional business actors. Not only from within the country, but also from abroad. That is why, if you study here must master English, not only passive, but active language to cas cis cus with lecturers who come from abroad. Melian University is an international university. Many of the students are also from abroad. Students are always communicating in English.

    Many advantages for students if there are students from abroad or lecturers from abroad, namely facilitating communication with English. And at least later, if you participate in fieldwork lectures or MPAs, which are usually to well-known companies abroad, then students must understand the language delivered by the speakers, the students must understand, certainly use English.

    At Harapan University, especially the business management department, where Melian attended, there were no English courses. But students are required to speak English. Because the lecturer from abroad must be in teaching using English. So are college books, which are on average written in English. So inevitably, the students have to take the course themselves. Including Melian, who must deepen English language skills. Although the time to sit in Junior High School and Melian High School has taken English lessons, but the teacher emphasizes more on how to answer questions in the exam. It is not English for conversation or conversation. Though what is needed this time is to listen to the lecturer's talk, what the words conveyed by the lecturer in the lecture. Including when asked by lecturers, he must be able to speak English.

    That is why Melian must be a course of English conversation, or better known as conversation, either with structural conversation, functional conversation, or situational conversation. The important thing is that Melian is able to understand the explanation of the lecturer and can speak when he has to be asked for an opinion.

    When Melian shamelessly conveyed his intention to his roommate, namely Princess, to take an English course, which is a conversation, it turns out that the Princess was also the same intention.

    "Princess .... Frankly, if I receive a lecture explanation from overseas lecturers, somewhat less able to catch, because my English language skills are still weak. My plan is to take the course. So sorry if for example the days tomorrow I often come home late" said Melian who of course while looking down embarrassed. Worried about being ridiculed by his friend.

    "Huh .... Is that right, Mel ...? The course where? I'm coming .... Frankly I also cannot accept the explanation of lecturers who use English .... I took the course, yes ..." said the Princess who turned out to also want to take the course.

    "Because .... Then let's take a course together .... At least one friend .... So you can go home together." said Melian who certainly turned into a frenetic because it turns out not only himself who can not speak English.

    "Keep ..., where's the course?" ask Princess.

    "Tomorrow we'll find. At least we can see in advertising or the internet, language institution centers. Must be a lot .... Jakarta is a big city whose residents also need to speak English. At least the officials who want to go abroad, must ask to be examined first by the course institutions." replied Melian.

    "okay .... Tomorrow we'll find it together." The princess agreed.

    Is correct. In the afternoon, after returning home from college, Melian and Putri walked in the Legok - Karawaci area. They will both look for English courses around the place. It is common, around the campus there are many language course institutions. Usually, the course institution also prepares the ACEPT and TOEFL test services. To help people who are going abroad. Especially in a highly developed college area, many students continue their studies abroad. It turns out that not only one language institution, but there are several course organizing institutions. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages of each.

    Melian and Putri down the village streets in Kelapa Dua area. Of course, the village in Jakarta is different from the village in Pati or Manado. What is clear is the density of the village. Yes, it can not be denied that the village of Jakarta is a densely populated area. The picture is seen from the buildings of the house that are tiled, empet-empetan, even more impressed chaotic. The alleyway in the dense village was not so broad. But the roar of the motor never stops to whisper the ear. The narrow alley road is not only a means of passing vehicles, but becomes a place of community activity. In fact, some of the houses that crimp it into a place of business, such as cigarette stalls, food stalls. Including the course place attended by Melian and Putri.

    The situation in Jakarta is like that. Melian and the Princess should be understood. Of course for science. What is important is that the intention can be implemented, namely learning English conversation.

    "Good day .... Please come in .... Can we help you?" said LPK receptionist who was beside the entrance, when there were two guests who came.

    Melian and the Princess entered the room, then headed for the receptionist table.

    "Sorry, Ma'am .... We'd like to ask you if you want to take an English course, can you?" ask the Princess who is right in front of the woman who is guarding the receptionist table.

    "Can .... What kind of course do you want? For TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS? For lessons? Or for MSMEs and Conversations?" ask the officer guarding the reception room.

    "Frankly we want an English course to be able to understand what my lecturer says, and if asked we can answer by speaking in English." Answer Princess.

    "When can we start?" ask Princess.

    "Today direct course can also .... Or later you can choose a schedule, adjusted to the lecture schedule so that it does not collide. This is the form please fill out ...." Said the madam guarding the administration, who immediately gave the registration form.

    Putri and Melian filled out the registration form. They also immediately choose the schedule that feels the most delicious. And of course, ask for the most hours.

    "When do you start?" ask the officer to Melian and the Princess.

    "Where, Mel ...? Now what's tomorrow?" ask the princess for consideration.

    "It starts at three o'clock in the afternoon .... Are we gonna wait here?" ask Melian who also gave consideration to the start of the course.

    "Waiting here can also be .... It's okay .... Less than a minute really .." said the female administrative officer.

    "Yes .., we just wait ..." said the Princess.

    After a while of waiting, it finally came to time. Melian and the Princess opened the door, going into the course room. In the classroom there was already an instructor, a tall man rather thin, white with a pointed nose. Seeing the physical characteristics of the person, it must have come from a foreign land. Very convincing to teach English courses.

    "Please, come in .." said the instructor telling his student to come in.

    The princess and Melian entered, smiling, and bowing the sign of respect to her instructor.

    "Please sit down .." said the instructor again who told his student to sit down.

    "Sorry, sir .., I don't speak English yet .... Hehe ..." said the Princess who blushed in embarrassment.

    "Ah, it's okay .... It doesn't matter" said the instructor again who then invited a slow conversation, then inserted a little with English.

    They then chatted intensely. Of course the instructor who was bule it immediately started the conversation with English. Melian and Putri had already started speaking in English, albeit in simple words. But the instructor had begun to justify the words said by Melian and Putri, which of course the pronunciation was not in accordance with what was taught by the instructor. Slowly though, the instructor patiently taught.

    Melian and the princess were happy and matched with the teacher. The technique is very good, easy to understand and quick to catch. Even invited to chat by the handsome instructor, so it does not feel that the course time is over. And the day had already stepped on the afternoon.

    "Time's up .... Our meeting time is over .... See you tomorrow" said the instructor who ended his meeting.

    Princess and Melian came home happily. Of course have new experiences about conversation, which will certainly make it easier to receive lectures whose lecturers use English. And they will both start speaking in English when in his room. It is certain that his English is more fluent.
