Hello everyone! Welcome to our podcast.
Hello friends, I'm Rizky!
And I'm Sari, glad to meet again.
How are you today, Sari?
I'm good, but earlier this morning I panicked.
Oh, why panic? What happened this morning?
When I was about to leave for the MRT, my phone battery was low!
Haha, that often happens in big cities.
Yeah, when the battery is low, we get confused.
Wanting to order a ride online, we can't.
Wanting to check the road map, we also can't.
Exactly, our life becomes difficult.
Because of that, today we discuss the battery topic.
We will learn six essential phrases.
Six practical phrases about phone battery.
Our first phrase: My phone battery is running low.
The second phrase when looking for power: Is there an outlet?
The third phrase to ask for help: Can I borrow a charger?
The fourth phrase when the screen turns off: My phone died.
The fifth phrase, our savior: I brought a power bank.
And the sixth phrase: Send location now.
All these phrases are very useful every day.
Very suitable for you, who are learning Indonesian.
Now, I want to tell my experience from yesterday.
Oh, let's listen to the story from Rizky!
Yesterday afternoon, I promised to meet a friend at a cafe.
In which area did you meet your friend?
In the Blok M area, South Jakarta.
Oh, there are many nice coffee shops there.
I went by MRT, from the station near my house.
Taking the MRT is indeed fast, and avoids traffic.
Inside the train, I was busy listening to music.
Listening to music on the way, that's very relaxing.
But listening to songs continuously makes the battery drain fast.
Haha, did you forget to charge the battery last night?
Last night I watched cat videos, until late at night.
Your habit is always the same, Rizky.
I watched until falling soundly asleep, in bed.
So you didn't plug the phone, into the power cable?
Right, the charger cable was still on the desk.
No wonder your phone battery was running low.
When leaving the station, my phone battery was low.
Is that Blok M MRT station, near the literacy park?
Right, the atmosphere is very shady and comfortable.
But if the phone is dead, it's hard to meet up there.
Yes, many people sit relaxing in that park.
How many percent was left, when you checked?
The phone screen only showed three percent!
Wow, three percent is very risky on the road.
I wanted to open the text message from my friend.
Right when needing important info, from your friend!
Suddenly the screen turned pitch black, my phone died!
Oh dear, a situation like that must be so panicky.
I was very confused, couldn't contact my friend at all.
In a busy area like Blok M, finding a place without a phone is hard.
I remembered the cafe's name, but didn't know the way.
So, you had to ask people for directions.
I walked slowly, while asking people.
Luckily you remembered the cafe name well.
Arriving at the cafe, the atmosphere was very crowded.
Cafes in Blok M, are always crowded with visitors.
Almost all tables, were already full of people.
When the battery is dead, finding a power source is the main priority.
I approached the cashier desk, and asked the waiter.
Hopefully there was an outlet, near the cashier counter.
I asked politely: Is there an outlet?
When the cafe is full, many people look for outlets.
He said all the wall outlets, were currently used by people.
Oh dear, your luck wasn't great yesterday.
But suddenly, my friend waved his hand from the corner.
Thank goodness, finally you found your friend too!
I immediately sat near my friend's table.
Must be so relieved, to meet your friend.
Yes, and my friend smiled while opening his bag.
A good friend, is always prepared in emergencies.
He said calmly: I brought a power bank.
Wow, your friend is a very kind savior!
He immediately lent the power bank, and its cable to me.
Waiting just a few minutes, the phone can already turn back on.
About five minutes, my phone finally came back on.
As a gesture of thanks, treating them to coffee is the best choice!
Yes, I bought my friend a glass of iced milk coffee.
A very interesting experience, and full of lessons!
Next, we will discuss the meaning of those six phrases.
Let's study together one by one!
Now we enter the explanation section for the six phrases.
We start from the first phrase: My phone battery is running low.
This phrase is used, when the battery power is low.
For example, the battery has five percent, or ten percent left.
You can let friends know, before the phone turns off.
For example: Sorry, my phone battery is running low.
That way, your friend won't worry looking for you.
We say this phrase very often in daily life.
Now we move on to the second phrase: Is there an outlet?
An outlet is an electric socket on the wall, for chargers.
If you are at a cafe or coffee stall, you can ask.
Excuse me sir, near this chair is there an outlet?
The cafe waiter will gladly, show the location.
At small coffee stalls, outlets are usually near the cashier.
Yes, coffee stall keepers are usually friendly and helpful.
You can also ask this, at airports or stations.
Right, public places usually have many power sockets.
The third phrase which is very friendly: Can I borrow a charger?
The word dong makes the request sentence, sound relaxed.
This is an intimate way, when asking help from friends.
Don't use the word dong, with people you just met.
Yes, for new acquaintances, use more polite sentences.
If with close friends, just say: Can I borrow a charger?
Sari, do you often borrow chargers from friends?
Just sometimes, if I forget to bring it from home.
We move to the fourth phrase: My phone died.
This phrase explains the condition of a phone, that ran out of power.
The phone screen turns dark, and cannot turn on.
The meaning of dead here, isn't broken forever.
Right, the phone just needs to recharge its battery again.
Example of its usage: Sorry, earlier on the way my phone died.
The fifth phrase which is very important: I brought a power bank.
A power bank is a battery charging tool, that is practical.
Its shape is small, so it's easy to carry everywhere.
Are you the type of person who always brings a power bank?
I always bring a power bank, every time I go out.
For me I rarely bring one, because it makes my bag heavy.
Now there are many small power banks, with pretty large capacity.
That's true too, it can charge phone power up to two times.
That's why in emergencies on the road, a power bank helps a lot.
That's true too, better prepared than confused.
And our sixth phrase is: Send location now.
This phrase is used, to share our location on maps.
Send location via messaging apps, on smartphones.
Very useful when meeting, friends in crowded places.
For example: I have arrived at the lobby, send location now.
Your friend will immediately send, the exact meeting point.
These six phrases are very practical, and easy to remember.
Next, let's listen to realistic conversation examples.
Pay close attention to the following practice section!
In this section, we listen to three conversation situations.
The first situation happens at a coffee shop.
Rizky just walked in, and wants to find a comfy table.
Excuse me miss, at that corner table is there an outlet?
Yes sir, the outlet is right next to the wooden table.
Thank you very much, my phone battery is low you see.
Please sir, don't forget to order our favorite menu.
Wow, the cafe waiter is very friendly and helpful!
The second situation happens at the office, between two coworkers.
Sari, did you bring a phone charging cable?
I did, it's inside the small pocket of my bag.
Can I borrow a charger, my phone battery has little left.
Of course, just use this cable until your battery is full.
Bringing a charger to the office, is a smart decision.
Of course, we need phones for work communication.
Thank you Sari, you are a very kind coworker.
You're welcome Rizky, helping each other is normal.
Now we check the third situation, at the train station.
Two friends promised to meet, at the station entrance.
Hello Sari, which gate have you arrived at?
I'm already in front of the north station gate, Rizky.
It's very crowded here, please send location now!
Okay, I'll send my location point via message now.
Don't walk anywhere yet, my phone battery is low.
Sure, I'll wait here near the bakery.
Hopefully my phone doesn't die, before I find you.
Don't worry, if your phone dies, I brought a power bank!
Hahaha, you truly are the most reliable best friend.
Those three examples, show how to use phrases naturally.
The more often you listen, the more fluent your speech.
