Thursday, July 19th, 2007

It was my birthday yesterday. To my great surprise and dismay, my friends at school had completely forgotten about. I wass very depressed because I had been waiting to hear them wish me a Happy Birthday that morning.

When I arrived home my family had gone out. I was very sad so I decided to ring up my friend Ben. He also wasn’t at home. He had taken his dog for a walk.

By 8 p.m no one had come home or had even called me. I felt lonely and upset. I switched on the TV and made a sandwich for myself. I even changed over to my night suit. I had been watching TV when suddenly the doorbell rang. I opened the door and soon realized that my family and friends had been planning a surprise party all day. The climax was fun. They all rushed to me and said “Happy Birthday” very loudly. I felt embrassed because I had changed into my pajamas and here everyone was celebrating and having a party.

Based on the text, answer the following questions.

2. What had she been doing the whole day?

Jawabannya adalah “She had been waiting for her friends and family to wish her a happy birthday”.

Soal menanyakan hal yang dilakukan seseorang pada bacaan di atas sepanjang hari.

Bacaan di atas berisi cerita pribadi seseorang tentang pengalaman ulang tahunnya. Dia mengatakan bahwa dia merasa sedih karena mengira teman-temannya dan keluarganya melupakan ulang tahunnya.

Dia menunggu sepanjang hari yang disebutkan pada kalimat “I was very depressed because I had been waiting to hear them wish me a Happy Birthday that morning” (Saya sangat tertekan karena saya telah menunggu untuk mendengar mereka mengucapkan Selamat Ulang Tahun kepada saya pagi itu). Dan di malam hari ia menunggu keluarganya pada kalimat “By 8 p.m no one had come home or had even called me” (Pada jam 8 malam tidak ada yang pulang atau bahkan menelepon saya).

Jadi, bisa disimpulkan bahwa sepanjang hari yang dilakukan oleh dia adalah menunggu ucapan ulang tahun.

Jawabannya adalah “She had been waiting for her friends and family to wish her a happy birthday” (Dia telah menunggu teman-teman dan keluarganya untuk mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun padanya).
