Let‟s Practice

Rehearsal One

Read the dialogue carefully then answer the questions!

Daniel : Hi, Ayu, do you know that our village has some organic farms?
Ririrn : Yes, of course. I‟ve just knew it a week ago.
Daniel : Really? I‟ve just know it this morning.
Ririn : My father told me that some of my neighbors do organic farming.
Daniel : So, there will be no pesticide in the product. Do you think it‟s good?
Ririn : Yes, I think it is great because most pesticides are designed to be toxic
to their target pests and some substance can be harmful if used
improperly. What is your view on the use of pesticides?
Daniel : Well, I think we should, at least, manage the use of pesticides because
some pesticides affect non target animals such as fish and bees. They
affect the natural balance.
Ririn : Your view sounds great.
Daniel : Thanks. Do you want to see the farms with me?
Ririn : If you say so.
Daniel : What are we waiting for? Let‟s go.

Rehearsal Two

Let‟s say it right!

The sounds of „th‟

Rahayu : Hi, Denias. You look so happy.
Bagus : Hi, Virga. Yes, I‟m very happy. My parents plan to establish an organic
husbandry. We will produce organic milk.
Rahayu : Really? That‟s great. I‟ve heard that organic milk is better than the
conventional one.
Bagus : Yes. When conventional husbandry uses animal drugs, including violate
hormones to promote growth, feed additives, and feed supplements
which may the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, organic
husbandry doesn‟t use any.
Rahayu : Will it reduce the amount of the milk production?
Bagus : I don‟t think so. An organic husbandry provides high levels of fresh
grass. It is believed that it produces milk which is on average, 50%
higher than the conventional one.

Rahayu : What about its nutrition? I think it is also better than the conventional one.
