Pembahasan Materi
BAB 1
Transacsional dan interpersonal
1.Menyapa orang yang belum /sudah dikenal
Untuk menyapa orang baik yang belu dikenal maupun yang sudah dikenal kita biasanya
kita mengucapakam : Hello! , atau Hi!
Selanjutnya disapa dengan sapaan sesuai dengan waktu menyapa :
1. Good morning (selamat pagi) diwaktu pagi
2. Good afternoon ( selamat sore) diwaktu sore.
3. Good evening (selamat malam) diwaktu petang awal malam biasanya sampai jam 9’00
4. Good night (selamat malam/tidur) pada waktu udah mau tidur
Kemudian lawan bicara kita menjawab sapaan kita dengan cara mengulangi apa yang kita
ucapkan misalnya:
Rusli : Good morning
Tahir: Good morning
Selanjutnya pembicara pertama melanjutkan dengan menanyakan kabarnya yang diajak
berbicara misalnya:
“How are you’ (apa kabar) lalu dijawab “I am fine “( saya baik aik saja)
2.Memperkenalkan diri sendiri/orang lain
Untuk memperkenalkan diri sendiri kita menyebutkan nama kita sendiri kepada lawan
bicara kita misalnya:
My name is Rianti (nama saya Riyanti)
You can call me Anti ( kamu dapat memanggil saya Anti)
I live at jl. Sawerigading no 49 ( saya tinggal di jalan sawerigading no, 49)
I am from Sengkang ( saya dari sengkang)
 I am 13 years old ( saya berumur 13 tahun)
Selesai memperkenalkan diri biasanya lawan bicara kita menjawab dengan:
Hi ! Rianti ( hai Rianti)
Kalau baru pertamakali berkenalan maka dilanjutkan dengan :
“How do you do” (apa kabar)
Nice to meet you (senang ketemu anda)
Dijawab pula dengan cara mengulangi pembicaraan lawan bicara yaitu :
“how do you do”
“Nice to meet you”
Berbeda dengan memperkenalkan orang lain, nama orang yang kita perkenalkan yang
kita sebut misalnya :
1. “this is my friend Sani” (ini teman saya Sani)
2.“This is my brother” (ini saudara saya) His name is Herman ( namanya Herman)
3. I would (I’d) like to introduce my friend , Ali( saya ingin memperkenalkan teman saya, Ali)
Jawaban nya sama dengan pemperkenalkan diri sendir :
“How do you do”
“Nice to meet you” atau Pleased to meet you.

3.Memerintah atau melarang

Untuk membuat kalimat perintah ada dua jenis:
I.Kalimat perintah biasa yaitu dengan meletakkan kata kerja di awal kalimat contoh:
1. stand up ! (berdirilah)
2. Raise your right hand up! (angkat tangan kananmu)
3. Show your finger! (tunjukkan jari jarimu)
4. Touch your hair! (sentuh rambutmu)
5. Hold your English book( pegam buku bhs inggrismu)
II. Kalimat perintah yang sopan yang biasanya diperuntukkan pada orang yang lebih tua
atau yang dihormati yaitu dengan meletakkan kata “please” diawal atau diakhir kalimat seperti:
1. Please,open page twenty five!
2. Close your bpok,please!
3. Put it on the table, please!
4. Please ,sit down!
5. Clap your hand,please!
III. Untuk membuat kalimat larangan, yaitu dengan meletakkan kata “don’t” di awal kalimat
Dan “don’t” berarti jangan, misalnya:
1. Don’t open the dor.
2. Don’t make a noise.
3. Don’t smoke.
4. Don’t play truant
5. Don’t cheat.
Untuk membuat kalimat larangan yang sopan ditambahkan kata’ please ‘di depan atau
dibelakang kalimat, misalnya:
1. Don’t write on the wall,please
2. Don’t tell a lie, please
3. Please, don’t play with fire.
4. Please, don’t be naughty.
5. Please ,don’t be lazy
4.Meminta dan member informasi
Meminta informasi terhadap seseorang, berarti kita menanyakan sesuatu pada lawan bicara
kita, misalnya informasi tentang dirinya, atau keluargannya misalnya:
1. What ‘s your name? (siapa namamu)
2. How do you spell your name? (bagaimana mengeja namamu)
3. Where do you live ? (dimana kamu tiggal)
4. What is your father? (apa pekerjaan baakmu)
5. How many brothers and sister do you hqave? (brapa banyak saudara lk dan perempuan mu?
Nah untuk memberi informasi, cukup dengan menjawab apa yang ditanyakan seseorang
misalnya:
1. My name is Mara Rusli. (nama saya Mara Rusli)
2. M – a – r – a – r – u – s – l - i
3. I live on jln sawerigading.( saya tinggal di jalan sawerigading)
4. My father is a teacher. (ayah saya seorang guru)
5. I have four brothers and two sisters ( saya punya 4 saudara laki laki dan 2 saudara perempuan)
5.Mengucapkan terima kasih
Untuk mengucapakan terima kasih pada seseorang terhadap orang yang telah berbuat baik pada
kita sangatlah penting karena kita akan dianggap tidak sopan manakalah kita tidak tau berterima
kasih nah bagaimana mengucapkan terimah kasih , ada beberapa cara ,terserah kepada ananda
yang mana mau dipakai misalnya :
1. Thank you (terima kasih)
2. Thank you very much ( Terima kasih banyak)
3. Thank a lot ( terima kasih banyak)
4. Thank for your ride ( terima kasi untuk tumpangannya)
5. Thank a million (beribu ribu terima kasih)
Nah mudahkan, tapi bagaimana kalau kita ingin menjawabnya. Wah kalau ananda tidak tau
menjawab terimah kasih akan dianggap juga tidak sopan maka pelajarila cara menjawab
terimakasi misalnya :
1. You are welcome ( sama sama)
2. Don’t mention it (Jangan sebut itu/sama sama)
3. Not at all (sama sama/kembali)
4. Forget it (Lupakanlah)
5. That’s all right (Sama sama)
6.Meminta maaf
Sebagai seorang Manusia biasa yang tidak luput dari kesalahan, tentunya kita harus pandai
pandai meminta maaf , nah kalau ananda ingin meminta maaf pada seseorang terdapat beberapa
cara yang dapat ananda pakai misalnya:
1. I am sorry (maaf)
2. Forgive me ( maafkan saya)
3. I apologize ( saya minta maaf)
4. Sorry for my mistake (maaf atas kesalahan saya)

Nah permintaan maaf dari seseorang perlu kita jawab namun masalahnya udah bisakah ananda
menjawab perminta maaf sesorang, untuk menjawabnya perhatikanlah beberapa contoh berikut :
1. Never mind (tidak apa apa)
2. Oh, that’s all right ( oh, tidak apa apa)
3. No problem (tidak apa apa)
4. That’s OK (tidak apan apa)
7.Mengungkapkan kesantunan
Dalam pergaulan kita sehari hari ,perlu kita bebicara yang santun agar orang yang diajak
berbicara merasa kita termasuk orang sopan dan tau tata karma pergaulan. Oleh nya itu kita perlu
mempelajari ungkapan kesantunan . Untuk membuat ungkapan kesantunan kita memakai kata ‘
could you “ please”. Hal ini menyatakan kesopanan seperti :
1. Give this letter to the head master,please.( harap kasikan surat ini pada kep.sekolah)
2. Could you participate in speech contest, please ( sudikah anda ikut dalam lomba pidato)
3. Excuse me. Can you tell me what your father is? (maaf, dapatkah andan mengatakan apa
pekerjaan bapakmu)

Asking questions

1.If you ask about the subject of the sentence, simply add the question word at the beginning:

Example:
James writes good poems. — Who writes good poems?

2.If you ask about the predicate of the sentence (the part of a sentence which contains the verb
and gives information about the subject), there are three options:

 If there is a helping (auxiliary) verb that precedes the main verb ( for example: can, is, are, was,
were, will, would...), add the question word and invert the subject and the helping (auxiliary)
verb.
Examples:
He can speak Chinese. — What can he speak?
They are leaving tonight. — When are they leaving?
 If you ask about the predicate and there is no helping (auxiliary) verb and the verb is "to be",
simply add the question verb and invert the subject and the verb.
Example:
The play was interesting. — How was the play?
 If there is no helping (auxiliary) verb in the the predicate and the main verb is not "to be", add
the auxiliary "do" in the appropriate form.
Examples:
They go to the movies every Saturday. — Where do they go every Saturday?
He wakes up early. — When does he wake up?
They sent a letter. — What did they send?

 Greeting

There are different ways to greet people:

Greeting means welcoming someone with particular words or a particular action.

When meeting people formally for the first time, we greet by shaking hands and saying "How do
you do?" or "Pleased to meet you."

"How do you do?" isn't really a question, it just means "Hello".

When young people meet informally they sometimes greet and say "Give me five!" and slap their
hands together (high five).

Generally we do not greet by shaking hands with people we know well. We greet by just saying
'hi' or 'hello'

Here are some expressions you can use to greet people.

Greeting

 Hi, hello.
 Good
morning,
good
afternoon,
good
evening.
 How are
you?
 How are
you doing?
 How do you
do?

Responding to
greeting

 Hi, hello.
 Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening.
 I'm fine thank you (thanks)/Okey! Thank you (thanks)/Can't complain/Not bad.
 How about you?/And you?
 How do you do?
Things to remember about greeting:

When you greet someone and say:

"How do you do?"

this isn't really a question, it just means "Hello".
