Dialogue
Rudi, Nina, and Lidya are talking about Rudi's problem at
the canteen.
Rudi : Dear friends, now I have a serious problem.
But I have not found the solution yet. I am
confused. Can you help me?
Nina : Tell us what it is!
Rudi : Yeah. Next month I must stop my studies
because my father retired three months ago.
So he cannot pay my school fees.
Lidya : Take it easy. It is not a serious problem.
Rudi : What? How can I solve the problem?
Lidya : Okay. I reckon you ask for a letter from
the authority telling that your family can't
afford the school fees. Then you submit
the letter to your school or to the parents'
representative.
Nina : In my opinion, you can also request scholarship.
I think you are the best.
Rudi : Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I'll try to do
that.
Lidya : Good luck.
