Today’s topic is about Cuaca dan Musimwhich means Weather and Season.
Here is the conversation entitled Musim Hujan which meansRainy Season. This conversation happens between Kevin and Nuni. Nuni and Kevin walk along the road in the city of Bandung. They walk while talking about weather and season. Let’s read to the conversation.
