Situation 1:
I would also like to create more academic extracurricular activity such as English club and other
foreign languages (German, French, Mandarin, Spanish, Japanese). Adding Mathematics,
Physics and Chemistry Club for our geek friends who are interested to join. So we are not only
developing our physical ability but also our intelligence in a fun way.
I would also like to add music/band for our friends who are into singing and playing instruments.
I believe that not only our skill should be developed, but our happiness too. By music we could
be happier and of course it is one of the crucial source of entertainment.
I would also like to provide a place for our friends who are into culinary. Not only focusing on
mind and physics, but happy soul can be obtained through delicious cuisine as well. Growing our
canteen better with more food with improved quality.
And the last but not least, I would like to build a co-working space. It is a place for students to
have a discussion, meeting, etc. with good facility like fast Internet connection, chill temperature,
clean environment. Hopefully by creating a co-working space it will encourage our friends to
learn better and smarter.

Jane: I would like to visit a new place that I’ve never been before. Like mountains. I mean,
hiking can be fun!
Ambar: Ah I see. Maybe I can arrange that for our plan. I will call my brother because he loves
hiking too. Maybe he can give us some idea!
