Writing Spoof Text:

HVS Paper Size VS F4 Paper Size

Two days ago, I was busy at school in preparing my students’ daily test 1. After I arranged the questions for the tests, I went to Dinda’s photocopy which is located in front of our school. I wanted to print and copy the students’ paper test. The assistant of photocopy operator helped me to do it. It seemed that she is a new worker there. She asked me what size of paper that I would like to use. I told her F4 size. Then she said “Oh, that’s HVS size, sister”. She also reaffirmed that HVS paper size is same with F4 size. Then I replied calmly, “No, they are different. HVS paper is the kind of paper that I want, but the size of it is F4 or folio size”. I mentioned some other sizes of paper like quarto, A4, A3, etc. After nodding head, she printed and copied my students’ paper test without saying anything. Then, the owner of photocopy looked and smiled at her. He offered a bottle of drink for her. We laughed together.
