TOLONG YA Sofia : How bad is urbanization back in your country? Tom : What do you mean how bad? As far as I know, we don't have this problem In big cities, people are moving out to the country, instead. Sofia : Really? That's interesting. How can that happen? Tom : Well, people are fed up with all the problems of city life. I suppose. They want to get rid of all these problems such as pollution, traffic jams, crime. you name it. Sofia : Gee. That's nice. Tom : Is it very bad here? Sofia: Bad? Horrible! From our geography class, we learn up to twelve percent of people from the country move to the cities. Remember this: In the past, more than 90 percent of Indonesian people lived in the country. Now, less than 70 percent do. Tom : Yeah. Sounds bad. Well. we cannot blame them, can we? Sofia : No. Busy places naturally attract people. As long as you are creative, you can find jobs. Near your house, you can get anything you want Compare it with country life. Tom : It's not comparable. Say, jobs, for example. There are less jobs the country. Farming is a great job, if you really are into it. That if you are that short of person. Sofia : That's just the problem. The young people here are not patient enough. Work in the country does not give them instant cash. I must admit I made a foolish mistake to advise my housekeeper take her relatives coming to town to look for better jobs. I mean to help them. Tom : You did? Sent them here? Sofia : I honestly regret it. I never thought they'd take their other relatives. Tom : Well, that's such pity. Sofia : I assure you it's true. I promised my selt l'd never do it again. I regret it you know Tom : Too bad. Sofia : Now some of them are back. They are working for a farm owner who raises fish and poultry. They don't get that much money, but they feel safer and happier. Tom : Wise of them. Don't you think that the government needs to do better, here? Sofia : Yes, the government should develop business in the countries and other facilities, too. Now, it's up to us, the young people. We can make our own living in the village. The country offers us opportunity as broad as the city does. Tom : And don't be surprised if the future people are moving from the city to the country.
