Kunci Jawaban Bahasa Inggris Kelas 12 SMA/MA Halaman 58-68, Unit 2 Kurikulum Merdeka

1. Explain what is happening in the two pictures.

2. Do you prefer to use cash or electronic money for purchasing? Why?

Answers: 

1. First picture (top): A man is paying for goods using cash at a cashier counter. The cashier is smiling and accepting the money, while a woman stands beside the man, observing the transaction. This represents a traditional, face-to-face payment method.

Second picture (bottom): A man is making a purchase using electronic money by scanning a QR code with his smartphone. The vendor is behind a counter with drinks and a tablet, and a woman is again standing beside the man, watching. This scene shows a modern, digital payment method using mobile technology.

2. I prefer to use electronic money for purchasing because:

• It's faster and more convenient—no need to carry physical cash or wait for change.
• It allows for contactless transactions, which is safer and more hygienic.
• I can track my spending easily through apps and bank statements.
• Many digital payment platforms offer security features like PINs or biometric authentication.
• However, I still use cash occasionally—especially in places that don’t accept digital payments or for small, informal purchases.
