Text Percakapan Bahasa Inggris Visit to Brunei
Rika : What is
that, Sister? Are you reading something?
Karin : Yes, it’s
some kind of travel guide magazine. This magazine shows you some great places
to visit in Southeast Asia.
Rika : Are you
planning on going to those places?
Karin : Yes, maybe
someday
Rika : What is
the best place recommendation, anyways?
Karin : There are
many countries that are worth visiting shown in this magazine. Like Malaysia, Singapore,
Thailand, and even Philippine.
Rika : Is
Indonesia included amongst them?
Karin : Yes.
Tourists also rated Indonesia as one of best places to visit.
Rika : So, what
country would be your option?
Karin : I think Singapore
and Thailand would be great.
Father : What about
Brunei Darussalam?
Rika : Huh??
Brunei? Do you mean that country in the East Malaysia?
Father : Yes. It can
be one of your options.
Karin : What?
Brunei? Seriously, Father… what can I see in that small country?
Father : Then you are
asking the right person.
Rika : Huh? So,
you have ever been in Brunei, Father?
Father : Yes, Dear. I
have ever been there for 3 times in order to complete my job stuffs.
Karin : I never
hear much about good places or attractions in Brunei.
Father : It seems
that way, but if you someday have a trip to Brunei. I’m sure you really are
going to have fun.
Rika : So, what
can we see in Brunei, Father?
Father : If you visit
Brunei someday, maybe you could start your trip from Bandar Seri Begawan, the
capital of Brunei. In there you can see the waterfront of Bandar Sri Begawan.
This is one of the best places in Bandar Sri Begawan for a fun stroll,
especially in the evening. And then you can see the world’s largest residence
named Istana Nurul Iman.
Karin : World’s
largest residence? Is that a palace?
Father : Yes, Dear.
This palace has over than 1700 rooms inside with tremendous interior and
exterior. This grand residence is home to the sultan and his family. You can
only get inside the palace during the three-day Hari Raya Aidil Fitri
celebrations at the end of Ramadan.
Rika : Wow that
is awesome!
Father : And… Brunei
also has the grandest mosque named Jame’Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque. The
architecture and interior of this mosque are just beyond amazing. I was dazed
at my first time visiting this great mosque. And then… Brunei has Kampong Ayer;
it’s a water village that shows you traditional ways of life of Bruneians.
Brunei also has many other attractions like amusement parks, historical and
cultural sites, grand museums, etc. You’ll never regret to visit Brunei.
Karin : That is
quite amazing, Father. Maybe Brunei really can be one of my options.
Rika : Wow,
please take us there next time, Father!
Father : Ha ha ha.
Alright, Dear… I will if I’m allowed to.
