b. Uraian Materi 1
Expressing what we feel and think is good as long as we know how to express them
properly. Do you want to know how to do it very well? Learn useful expressions and more
in this unit.
Task 1
Answer the following questions
1. Have you ever made an invitation?
2. Was it written or spoken invitation?
3. What was the invitation for?
4. Were you happy on the party? Why?
5. Can you mention some events that need invitations?
Task 2
PERSONAL INVITATION
Study the following explanation.
As we know, a written invitation is more effective than a spoken one. If we invite
someone orally, he/she may forget to come because it is the nature of human to easily
forget something. In making a written invitation, you must be careful to include the
following information:
1. your full address
2. the date, time, and place
3. any necessary explanation regarding the kind of event or programme.
The format of personal invitation is similar to the one of personal letter. The
illustration is as the following:
....................
....................
....................
salutati
body
heading
....................
............................................................
............................................................
............................................................
............................................................
..........................................
closing
signature
1. The Heading
It consists of three lines. The first line contains youraddress. The second one is the
name of your town and postal code (if there is one). The third shows the date. The
most common written date is month day, year.
2. The Salutation
It greets the reader. The usual form is the word dear followed by the person name
who is addressed to. There is a comma after the salutation.
3. The Body
The body is the real letter itself. In a common personal letter, the first line is
indented. The example can be seen on the letter above.
4. The Closing
If the closing consists of more than one word, only the first word of the closing is
capitalized.
5. The Signature
The signature is below the closing whether the letter is typed or hand-written. It
should not trail off the space of the right margin.
Task 3
Read this reply letter and answer the questions.

spend. It allows for capturing more consumer surplus as it allows price discrimination, a
process whereby a seller can charge a higher price to one buyer who is more eager (by
being richer or more desperate). Haggling has largely disappeared in parts of the world

Task 10
GIVING COMPLIMENT
Everyone likes to hear compliments. Compliments make people feel good about
themselves, and we all need that at times. Hotel guests and staff are no exceptions.
Guests may give hotel staff compliments for the quality of their service, for their English
ability, for their appearance in an unique uniform, or for doing something a little extra for
the guest.
A hotel staff may give a guest a compliment about how they look in a newly
purchased outfit, or for their patience when a problem arises, or for a beautiful new hair
style after visiting a beauty parlor. Look at the expressions below that can be used when
giving and responding to compliments.

questions. Then, compare your answers with your classmates.
Irfan
: Before I begin the report, I'd like to get some ideas from you all. How do you
feel about rural sales in your sales districts? I suggest we go round the table
first to get all of your input.
Wiwid
: In my opinion, we have been focusing too much on urban customers and
their needs. The way I see things, we need to return to our rural base by
developing an advertising campaign to focus on their particular needs.
Anita
: I'm afraid, I don't agree with you. I think rural customers want to feel as
important as our customers living in cities. I suggest we give our rural sales
teams more help with advanced customer information reporting.
Leo
: Excuse me, I didn't catch that. Could you repeat that, please?
Anita
: I just stated that we need to give our rural sales teams better customer
information reporting.
Wiwid
: I don't quite follow you. What exactly do you mean?
Anita
: Well, we provide our city sales staff with database information on all of our
larger clients. We should be providing the same sort of knowledge on our
rural customers to our sales staff there.
Irfan
: Would you like to add anything, Ms Mudita?
Mudita : I must admit I never thought about rural sales that way before. I have to
agree with Ms Anita.
Irfan
: Well, let me begin my presentation. As you can see, we are developing new
methods to reach out to our rural customers.
Wiwid
: I suggest we break up into groups and discuss the ideas we've presented.

ISSUES
OPINION
ARGUMENTS
1. We ban sinetrons.
Agree
Sinetrons are not educative, especially for
children.
Fact(s): You can see children nowadays like to
imitate what they see and hear from sinetrons,
They start misbehaving like yelling and saying
something rude, even to their parents.
(Find another argument)
Disagree Sinetrons are not dangerous as long as we can
choose the good ones. Not all sinetrons are
bad.
Fact(s): Keluarga Cemara is an example of
good sinetrons.
Solution: We have to support such sinetrons, so
that they can reach a high rating. As a result,
the producer will make good sinetrons because
of the high interest coming from society.

: Youre right. Although our company is not a big one, it still seems to need a
website, at least, for the business purposes. But, we have no one who has
got good command of webbing.
Hary
: That doesnt matter. We can learn it. Look, Ive found an article in the
internet explaining how to create a website with Yahoo! easily. Let me read
the instruction. First of all, log in to Yahoo home page. Click on the
'GeoCities' link in the navigation pane to begin. Then, click the 'Sign Up
Now' link. This will redirect you to the GeoCities start page, which will ask
27
Yogi
you a series of questions that Yahoo! needs to know before you can create
your Website. Next, determine what you intend your Website for by
pressing one of the buttons next to your choice. Click on each box that
indicates how you heard about GeoCities. Enter the 'Verification Key,' which
is the letters and numbers that appear in the displayed image. Click 'Submit'
once you are done. After that, click the 'Build Website Now' button to
create your site using Yahoo's Sitebuilder application. This program helps
you create your Website even if you have no experience with coding or
programming. Finally, click the 'Submit' button once you've finished making
changes with Sitebuilder, and your Website will reflect the changes you've
made.
: Wow. I think we can do it.

- Click the 'Sign Up Now' link.
- Click the 'Submit' button once you've finished making changes with Sitebuilder.
- Enter the 'Verification Key,' which is the letters and numbers that appear in the
displayed image.
Task 4
This text is a manual to use the facsimile (fax) machine. Can you use this machine? Find
out the steps by reading this text and then answer the questions to check your
comprehension.
HOW TO USE THE FACSIMILE MACHINE
Firstly, check the fax machine plug. After you check the fax machine power supply,
check to make sure that its telephone cord is plugged into a phone jack.
28
Then, insert the document that you want to fax into the "outgoing" fax tray.
Although the machine differs, there will usually be an icon or picture directing the user
where to place the outgoing document. Most fax machines require the user to insert the
documents face down, but check your specific machine.
Next, dial the phone number to which you wish to send the document. In some
offices, you may need to dial a number such as "9" for an outside line. You may also need
to include the area or country code.
After that, wait for the receiving fax machine to "answer." You will hear a sound
like a computer modem: a series of high-pitched squeals and static-like noises. Depending
on your fax machine, you may have to press the "Start" button to send your fax, or your
model may automatically start sending the fax by itself.
Later, look at the fax machine display console. It shows if pages have gone through
successfully or if you need to resend a fax due to an error. Generally, when a fax has gone
through successfully the machine will beep or display a "success" message.\
Then, stock your fax machine with plenty of paper in the "incoming" fax tray. If
you receive a fax, it instantly prints on the paper provided. Even if it is out of paper, your
fax machine will keep received faxes in its memory, and it will print them when you finally
stock the machine with paper.
Finally, note whether your fax machine has its own dedicated phone line. If so, it
should receive faxes automatically. If you use one phone line for both your fax machine
and a regular telephone, you may need to press "Start" to process an incoming fax. You
can recognize an incoming fax easily; if you pick up the phone, you will hear the same
modem sounds as when you are sending a fax.

- Let's go to the travel agent's this afternoon to book our ticket.
- What about asking your brother for help?
- How about going to Hawaii for your vacation?
- I suggest you / we take all the factors into consideration before we decide.
Task 13
Study the following expressions used in asking necessity and obligations.

doesn't come from a rule or law.

Write a short instruction based on the text below. Use the imperative form and
transitional signals you have learnt.
HOW TO SAVE A WET CELL PHONE
Have you ever dropped your cell phone in the sink, or even worse, the toilet? It
usually means you have to replace your phone, but sometimes if you are fast, you can
save the phone! Although the plastic covers on cell phones are quite tight, water can
enter the phone over time. So, you have to get it out of the water as soon as possible.
After grabbing the phone from the water, removing the battery is one important thing to
do. If you have a GSM carrier, remove your SIM card. But you do not need to heat it.
You just pat it dry and leave it aside until you need to connect your phone to your
cellular network. Obviously you need to remove as much of the water as soon as
possible. Remove any covers and external connectors to open up as many gaps, slots, and
crevices as possible. If it is possible, you can use a vacuum. This is the fastest method and
can completely dry out your phone and get it working in thirty minutes. However, you are
not allowed to hold the vacuum too close to the phone, as a vacuum can create static
electricity. You can use a substance with a high affinity for water to help draw out
moisture. For example, you can leave your phone in a bowl of uncooked rice over night
because the rice will absorb any remaining moisture.
To evacuate all the moisture and humidity, leave the phone sit on an absorbent
towels, napkin, or other paper. After waiting for a day, test your cell phone. If it does not
work, try to pluge it into its charger without the battery. If this works, it means you need
a new battery. If this does not work, you should try to take your cell phone to an
authorized dealer.

stationary, there is no need to retype the information.

Leave two blank lines after the return address. Always spell out the month and include the
day, a comma, and the year.
Inside Address:
Leave two blank lines after the date. Then type the address of the person or company to
whom you are writing.
Salutation:
Type Dear, followed by the persons name. End the line with a comma. If you dont know
the name of the person, use a title instead (i.e., Dear Editor, Dear Madam).
Body:
Align your message on the left margin. Skip a line before starting a new paragraph, but do
not indent the paragraph's first line. Make sure that each paragraph is clear and concise.
Closing:
Leave two lines of space after your last body paragraph, then use a conventional closing,
followed by a comma (i.e., Sincerely, Sincerely Yours, Respectfully).
Signature:
Your signature should appear below your closing. Unless you have established a personal
relationship with the person you are writing, use both your first and last name.
