Reading : Interactional Text
Indah, Bagus, and Lyla are preparing their biology project. They are looking for an idea for the project.
Indah : Hey, guys, I think we should finish our Biology
assignment before Sunday.
Bagus : You’re right! It should be submitted on Monday.
Lyla : But, do you have any idea what we should
write about?
Lyla : We should make a poster about underwater life.
Bagus : Let’s have a look at some references from the
internet. Maybe we can get some ideas.
Lyla : That’s a good idea!
Bagus : I reckon we have to think of an animal underwater
and make a poster about it.
Indah : Look at this one. It’s a giant squid.
Lyla : Have a look at the size! It’s very big!
Indah : Listen, the article says that the size can be 10
meters long. It’s as big as a school bus!
Lyla : Wow! I think a giant squid is very unique.
Indah : I’d say we should make a poster about giant squid.
Bagus : Yes, we can print out the picture and write the facts
about a giant squid. I think it will be great!
Lyla : That’s a good idea. Here, pay attention to this. The
article says that a giant squid’s eyes are the size of
a dinner plate. Very Interesting!
Bagus : Really? Wow! Now, I really think that we should
make a poster about it.
Lyla : Yeah, I think so.
Indah : Okay, let’s get started!
