Answer the following questions about your own culture.
I am going to answer the following questions with the culture from Ngawi. Because I come from Ngawi
• What does silence indicate in conversations? Does it always indicate the same thing (e.g., approval or disapproval)
Answer : In Ngawi culture, when people got into a conversation and they are suddenly stopped saying anymore, it means whether they feel awkward or they don’t even know what to ask and answer again. Silence in conversations sometimes also mean that the speakers are thinking the next right topic. In Ngawi, I think silence to showing that we don’t know exactly about the topic.

• You need some money and you are considering asking either your parents or your friend for a loan. How would you ask your parents? And how would you ask your friend?
Answer : If I ask my parents, I will tell them by phone and the reasons why I need some money, for buy something or for a basic necessity such as buying food and for buying books. I also make sure that my parents can afford to give money.
Meanwhile, if I ask my friend, I would do it similarly to my parents. I will tell them why I need borrow the money and the reason why I don’t want to ask my parents for it.
