READ THE DIALOGUE AND THEN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

Situation          : Adib and Ayu have a talk before the class begins.

Adib                : Do you think there is a possibility to solve the unemployment problem totally soon?

Ayu                 : I’m sure there is. As a matter of fact, the government has planned some strategies

                        to do that.

Adib                : Is it possible that the government can eradicate poverty?

Ayu                 : Well, I don’t think it is possible. Poverty is a complex matter. It is not only about

                        jobless people but also people who live with little work. It is hardly possible to eliminate      poverty. And, to tell you the truth, the government simply cannot create jobs for all people.

Adib                : So, I think people must create their own jobs.

Ayu                 : Well, you’re right. It is what we call as entrepreneurship.

Adib                : Yes, people do not need to wait for the job provided by the government.

Ayu                 : Yes, absolutely.
