L.A. du Pre,
Foucaud et Cie,
1128 Rue Voltaire,
76005 Paris

28th August, 2003

Dear Miss du Pre

Thank you for your letter of the 21 August 2003. We have reserved a room for Mr. Alain Mancone for the period of 21st September to the 2nd October, inclusive. The room overlooks the park, and has a telephone extension. The telephone can be connected to outside lines, so Mr. Mancone can use the telephone to make and receive calls. A reception room will be available daily.

The cost of single room with bath is $1500 per night, excluding V.A.T.* There will also be a service charge of 15 percent. This price includes breakfast, which can be served in the guest's room, if desired.

We look forward to seeing Mr. Mancone.

Yours faithfully,

Ramadhan Afifi
* V.A.T = Value Added Tax

19. What is the letter about?

A. The available hotel facilities.
B. The cost of the single room.
C. The prices of the hotel.
D. The reply from the hotel.
Jawaban & Analisis

Jawaban: D

Isi surat ini adalah balasan dari pihak hotel terhadap surat sebelumnya (“Thank you for your letter...”), lalu menjelaskan bahwa kamar sudah dipesan, fasilitas kamar, serta rincian biaya. Jadi topiknya adalah reply from the hotel, bukan hanya fasilitas atau harga saja.

Bukti: “Thank you for your letter ... We have reserved a room ...” lalu diikuti rincian fasilitas dan biaya.

20. Foucaud et Cie 1128 Rue Voltaire is ........ where du Pre work

A. the address
B. the city
C. the office
D. the department
Jawaban & Analisis

Jawaban: C

Bagian paling atas surat menunjukkan identitas penerima: nama/instansi “Foucaud et Cie” beserta alamat lengkapnya. “Foucaud et Cie” adalah nama kantor/perusahaan tempat Miss du Pre bekerja, sedangkan “1128 Rue Voltaire” adalah alamat jalannya dan “Paris” adalah kotanya. Karena pertanyaan menanyakan “... where du Pre work”, jawaban yang tepat adalah kantor/perusahaan (the office).

Bukti: “L.A. du Pre, Foucaud et Cie, 1128 Rue Voltaire, 76005 Paris”.

21. The price of the room can be found in ........ paragraph.

A. the first
B. the second
C. the third
D. the forth
Jawaban & Analisis

Jawaban: C

Paragraf yang memuat harga ada pada paragraf yang berbunyi “The cost of single room with bath is $1500 per night...”. Jika menghitung paragraf isi surat secara berurutan: (1) pembuka & konfirmasi reservasi, (2) fasilitas telepon & reception room, (3) biaya/harga, (4) penutup “We look forward...”. Maka harga berada di paragraf ketiga.

Bukti: “The cost of single room with bath is $1500 per night ...”.

22. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Ramadhan Afifi was the manager of the hotel.
B. Mr. Mancone needed the room facing the park.
C. The price of the room included the service charge.
D. Breakfast was always served in the guest's room.
Jawaban & Analisis

Jawaban: A

Pernyataan B tidak didukung: surat hanya menyebut “The room overlooks the park” (kamar menghadap taman), tetapi tidak mengatakan Mr. Mancone membutuhkan kamar menghadap taman.

Pernyataan C salah: surat menegaskan ada tambahan “service charge of 15 percent”, artinya belum termasuk dalam harga yang disebutkan (“The cost ... is $1500 per night ... There will also be a service charge ...”).

Pernyataan D salah: sarapan bisa disajikan di kamar jika diinginkan (“... breakfast, which can be served in the guest's room, if desired”), bukan selalu.

Yang paling sesuai sebagai pernyataan benar adalah A: Ramadhan Afifi adalah penandatangan surat resmi hotel (“Yours faithfully, Ramadhan Afifi”), yang dalam konteks surat bisnis hotel umumnya adalah pihak manajemen yang mewakili hotel.

Bukti kunci: “Yours faithfully, Ramadhan Afifi”.

23. We look forward to seeing Mr. Mancone. (paragraph 4)
The underlined phrase means ........

A. expect
B. believe
C. assure
D. wait for
Jawaban & Analisis

Jawaban: A

Ungkapan “look forward (to)” berarti menantikan/berharap dengan senang, intinya “expect” (mengharapkan/menantikan). Pilihan “wait for” lebih bermakna menunggu secara literal, sedangkan “look forward” menekankan sikap antusias/harapan positif.

Bukti: “We look forward to seeing Mr. Mancone.”
