TRIBUNNEWS.COM - Siswa kelas XII SMA/MA saat ini sedang mempelajari Unit 2 dari buku Bahasa Inggris Life Today yang disusun oleh Susanti Retno Hardini dkk. dan diterbitkan oleh Kemdikbudristek (2022).

Buku ini dirancang untuk memberikan pemahaman komprehensif mengenai teks naratif dan argumentatif dalam konteks kehidupan modern.

Siswa mengerjakan serangkaian latihan keterampilan mendengarkan (Listening) melalui Activity 1 hingga Activity 5.

Latihan ini bertujuan untuk memperkuat pemahaman terhadap isi dan struktur teks argumentatif secara audio.

Pada Unit 2 yang berjudul Argumentative Text: E-Money, siswa diajak untuk memahami secara mendalam bagaimana teks argumentatif dibentuk dan digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

Melalui berbagai aktivitas pembelajaran, mereka belajar mengenali tujuan komunikatif dan struktur khas dari teks argumentatif, serta memahami ekspresi bahasa yang digunakan untuk menyampaikan dan menanggapi pendapat.

Siswa juga dilatih untuk menggali informasi eksplisit maupun implisit dari teks yang dibaca atau didengar, sehingga mampu menangkap gagasan utama dan detail penting secara kritis.

Tak hanya itu, mereka diberi kesempatan untuk menulis teks argumentatif sendiri dengan struktur dan gaya bahasa yang sesuai, serta menyajikannya melalui media pilihan yang kreatif dan komunikatif.

Dengan pendekatan ini, Unit 2 tidak hanya membekali siswa dengan keterampilan berbahasa Inggris, tetapi juga mendorong mereka untuk berpikir logis, menyampaikan pendapat secara efektif, dan menjadi komunikator yang percaya diri di era digital.

Activity 1

Observe the picture carefully.

In pairs, discuss and answer the
questions

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.

“Yes, I can see that your online shop is emerging and getting big. I can sum up that as more societies move from cash to cashless, the way we spend might change.”

“Yes, I do. I learned it from a friend who works in a bank. He told me that once the QR codes are scanned, the online system would immediately detect the exact amount order from the payment…so it’s like this: the cash and waiting for change. No swipe of a plastic card either. The transaction would take seconds.”

“Well, let me start from the reason why I decided to start my online shop. Back then, I have a memory as a girl that my pocket money pile always ended in a special pocket in my wardrobe, where my parents collected one pile full of coins. Did you know? Yahhh, I used to place coins in a glass jar.”
