Id: Di tengah ladang yang hijau di pulau Jawa, Dewi berdiri memandangi hamparan sawah yang luas.
En: In the middle of the green fields on the island of Jawa, Dewi stood gazing at the vast expanse of rice paddies.

Id: Sebagai murid yang rajin dan penuh semangat, Dewi sangat menyukai pertanian.
En: As a diligent and enthusiastic student, Dewi loved agriculture very much.

Id: Matahari musim panas bersinar terang, membuat padi tampak berkilau di bawah sinarnya.

En: With her was Budi, her more laid-back classmate.

Id: Budi suka membantu, tetapi sering menunda pekerjaan.
En: Budi liked to help, but often procrastinated.

Id: Bagi Budi, bagian sosial dari pertanian lebih menarik daripada tugas belajar.
En: For Budi, the social aspect of farming was more appealing than the academic tasks.

Id: Dewi menyadari bahwa mereka memiliki pandangan berbeda.
En: Dewi realized that they had different perspectives.

Id: Budi lebih tertarik membantu petani di desa dan berbincang dengan mereka, daripada mencatat data dan menulis laporan.

En: However, Dewi had an idea.

Id: Dia memutuskan untuk melibatkan Budi dengan cara yang berbeda.

Id: Dewi berharap ini akan memotivasi Budi untuk lebih aktif dalam proyek mereka.

Id: Namun, bekerja dengan Budi tidak selalu mudah.
En: However, working with Budi was not always easy.

Id: Mereka sering berdebat tentang pembagian tugas.
En: They often argued about the division of tasks.

Id: Suatu sore, di bawah pohon pisang, mereka mulai bertengkar tentang kemajuan proyek mereka.
En: One afternoon, under the banana tree, they started arguing about the progress of their project.

Id: "Kita terlalu lambat ini, Budi," kata Dewi dengan nada kesal.
En: "We're too slow here, Budi," said Dewi in an irritated tone.

Id: "Kamu terlalu banyak bicara dengan petani.
En: "You talk too much with the farmers."

Id: ""Aku tahu, tapi cerita dari mereka sangat penting," jawab Budi membela diri.
En: "I know, but their stories are very important," Budi replied defensively.

Id: Saat debat memanas, Pak Slamet, seorang petani senior, datang menghampiri.
En: As the debate heated up, Pak Slamet, a senior farmer, came over.

Id: Dia mendengar pertengkaran mereka.
En: He heard their quarrel.

Id: Dengan tenang, dia berbagi cerita tentang metode pertanian yang unik yang baru saja dicobanya.

En: Hearing that story, Dewi and Budi fell silent.

Id: Mereka sadar bahwa metode Pak Slamet sangat cocok untuk proyek mereka.
En: They realized that Pak Slamet's method was perfect for their project.

Id: Keduanya sepakat untuk menjadikan metode itu sebagai fokus utama laporan mereka.
En: Both agreed to make that method the main focus of their report.

Id: Akhirnya, kerja keras mereka membuahkan hasil.
