Dialog expression of Asking about objects
Ferdi : Guys! Guys! Listen up! I have great news to tell you!

Yopi : Oh, really? I hope you are not coming with another lie anymore

Erlita : Wow, you look so serious. What kind of news is that?

Ferdi : Oh, please… I’m telling real news right now. Last night, I saw a mysterious flying
object on the night sky. You may be familiar by calling it UFO

Yopi : See… here you go with your lies again

Erlita : UFO? Do you mean it’s like an alien’s spacecraft?

Ferdi : Yes…! Yes…! Oh, come on! I am not joking around, Yopi. It’s real. I saw it clearly
with both of my eyes.

Erlita : Well, what did it look like?

Ferdi : Just like you’ve ever seen in movies, it looked like a spacecraft. It floated around the
sky. There were many colorful lights on it.

Erlita : Did it move so fast? How could you see it with your bare eyes?

Ferdi : No, it didn’t move so fast. Therefore, I could see it clearly with my both eyes.

Erlita : Was it huge?

Ferdi : I am not really sure. But, I think it was a little bigger than a helicopter.

Erlita : Did it emit sound?

Ferdi : No, I guess. It was so silent.

Yopi : You could have been mistaken. Maybe it was an airplane. Did you use any tool to
see it? Like telescope or binocular?

Ferdi : I am extremely sure that it wasn’t an airplane. I know exactly how an airplane looks
like. It was really a different one. No, I didn’t use my binocular. It was clear enough to see
with bare eyes.

Yopi : Did you take a photo of that flying object?

Ferdi : Unfortunately, when I was going to grab my digital camera, it disappeared.


Yopi : Well, with no strong proof I cannot fully believe in your story

Ferdi : Oh, come on, Yopi.

Erlita : I don’t know if it was a real UFO or not but you are lucky to see it, Ferdi.

Ferdi : Thank, Erlita. I wish I could see it again someday.
