Agreement and disagreement

Yoga : So, class. Now we are going to deliberate our concern about where we are going to head
for our class vacation. So, who comes up with the idea first?
Habibi : I will vote for Anyer Beach. Anyer Beach is one of the nearest beaches we can visit.
Yoga : So, class. Is there anyone who disagrees with Anyer Beach?
Jenny : Um, I am not sure about that. Last vacation our class had gone to Anyer Beach. I think
we should see other options.
Habibi : Oh yeah! Youre right, I forgot about that.
Jefri : Well, Im suggesting Kebun Raya Bogor
Kania : I agree with you, Jefri. I have never been there myself.
Geri : Me too, I am with you, Kania. Seeing great trees and plants must be exciting. Kebun Raya
Bogor is like a great jungle in the middle of town.
Sarah : Im sorry guys. I think I will disagree with that. Its rainy season now. And as you know,
Kebun Raya Bogor is located in Bogor which is the city of rain. And seeing the intensity of
rainfall throughout Indonesia lately, I think we might not be able to explore the whole Kebun
Raya Bogor due to the rain.
Tio : I think what Sarah said is right. Kebun Raya Bogor is not the best place to visit during this
heavy rainy season
Yoga : Well, are there any other options?
Fauzi : How about Bali?
Habibi : No way! I dont have enough money to go to Bali
Sarah : Habibi is right, Fauzi. Its really costly to pick Bali as an option.
Yoga : Okay, class. To save the time, now lets just write your idea into a piece of paper and we
will deliberate in the next occasion. Thank you.
