NOTE for no. 4:
Question: do fellas think Gedung DPR, MPR, DPRD are also parliament buildings?
“Yes, I think so.” – @nurulnisautami
“No.” – @sherly_ariesta
Why “yes” @nurulnisautami? And why “no” @sherly_ariesta?
“May be because DPR and MPR are national parliament institution.” – @nurulnisautami
“I think its house of commons.” – @sherly_ariesta
“House of Commons is the elective, lower house of the Parliament of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Canada, and various other countries in the Commonwealth of Nations.” @sherly_ariesta
So, do fellas think Gedung DPR, MPR, DPRD are also parliament buildings?
“They are.” – @Ulllyyyy @nurulnisautami,
So that’s it for today fellas :) I hope you had good fun with the #EngVocab :D
