Deskripsi Singkat Materi

Banyak orang menganggap bahwa meminta bantuan merupakan hal

yang sulit untuk dilakukan. Hal ini karena kita tentu tidak ingin mengganggu
orang lain atau tidak ingin jika permohonan bantuan kita ditolak. Tidak ada
seorangpun yang ingin untuk ditolak, bukan?
Di sisi lain, menawarkan bantuanpun ternyata bukan suatu hal yang mudah.
Karena saat kita menawarkan bantuan kepada seseorang, kita harus
mengetahui situasi dan kondisi orang yang akan kita bantu. Misalnya saja,
saat kita melihat seorang teman merasa sedih, kesal, marah atau kecewa,
kadang kita hanya perlu untuk memberikan mereka ruang dan waktu. Tidak
semua orang ingin untuk dibantu atau bahkan sekedar ditanyai saat mereka
sedang dalam masalah.
Namun, sebagai makhluk sosial, kita harus tetap saling membantu.
Selain itu, di kehidupan kita sehari-hari, di berbagai situasi, kita perlu
menawarkan atau meminta bantuan serta menerima atau menolak bantuan
yang diberikan. Oleh karenanya, kita perlu mempelajari cara yang tepat
untuk menawarkan bantuan pada orang lain.

pengetahuan dan kemampuan Anda berkomunikasi menggunakan bahasa
Inggris.
Pembelajaran pada modul sekarang erat kaitannya dengan penggunaan
sehari hari
dalam komunikasi. Practice a lot if you want to improve your English
competence and if you want to know more, read this module carefully.
Perhatikan kalimat yang bercetak tebal, apa makna kalimat tersebut? Benar,
modul ini akan memfasilitasi Anda untuk mampu berkomunikasi berkaitan
memberi dan meminta informasi terkait pengandaian diikuti oleh
perintah/saran, sesuai dengan konteks penggunaannya. ( If
imperative, if Suggestion ).

Perhatikan dialog di bawah ini!

Phia : What are you doing, Dani?

Dani : Preparing for going out with some friends of mine.
Phia : Don‟t forget to wear a mask, if you go out now.
Dani : Thanks for reminding me, always.
Phia : If you see a crowd of people, you should keep away

29
.1. If Clause sebagai Saran ( Suggestion )

Contoh pembuatan tugas pelajaran if clause as suggestion biasanya diyatakan

dalam bentuk kalimat seperti “make sentences using if clauses followed by
imperatives and suggestions”. Sebenaranya sangat mudah kalau mengikuti rumus:

If clause + Suggestion.
If + Simple Present, S + Should /Had Better/ Ought to + V1
If + Simple Present, Why don’t + S + V1?

Kita tahu dari rumus diatas perlu ada kalimat saran bisa menggunakan should, ought
to, dll sebagaimana contoh diabawah ini:

 If you are able to get married, you should get married soon. (Jika sudah
mampu menikah, sebaiknya dilakukan segera.)
 If you don’t wanna get lost, you ought to be with me (Jika tidak ingin
tersesat, kamu sebaiknya bersama saya)
 If you don’t wanna get sick, you should take a break and get some
rest (Jika kamu tidak ingin sakit, kamu sebaiknya berhenti dulu dan istirahat)
 If you don’t want your mom get mad at you, you had better finish that
homework (Jika kamu tidak ingin ibu marah, sebaiknya kamu selesaikan PR
itu)
 If you get sick, you should go to doctor. (Jika sakit, sebaiknya kamu pergi
ke dokter.)
 If you meet a Komodo dragon, you had better run away. (Jika bertemu
dengan komodo, sebaiknya menghindar.)
 If you need to know some cooking menus, why don’t you search it in
internet? (Jika kamu ingin mengetahui beberapa menu masakan, mengapa
kamu tidak mencarinya di internet?)

30
2. If Clause sebagai Perintah ( imperative)

Fungsi yang ketiga adalah contoh imperative clause. Fungsi perintah ini
sebenaranya mirip dengan imperative conditional type 1 dimana ada penghapusan
unsur kalimat pada subjectnya. Biar lebih mudah perhatikan rumus berikut:

If Clause + Imperative
If + Simple Present, V1 + Object/Adverb

Dari rumus diatas, dengan mudah kita bisa membuat berbagai macam kalimat
perintah yang dirangkai dengan kalimat if clause sebagaimana dibawah ini:

 If you want to finish your homework, stop playing mobile games

now! (Jika kamu ingin menyelesaikan pekerjaan rumahnya, berhentilah
bermain game sekarang!)
 If you want to take a good picture, choose a correct setting for the
camera! (Jika kamu ingin mengambil foto yang bagus, pilih pengaturan yang
tepat pada kameranya!)
 If you want to win this match, be confident and never surrender! (Jika
kamu ingin memenangkan pertandingan ini, maka jadilah percaya diri dan
jangan pernah menyerah!)
 If you want not to be late, take a bath soon! (Jika kamu ingin tidak
terlambat, segeralah mandi!)

seriously. (Jika kamu ingin menguasai caranya, cari di youtube dan pelajari
dengan serius.)
 If you don’t wanna be late, get ready soon (Jika kamu tidak ingin terlambat,
bersiaplah segera)
 If you don’t wanna get wet, get the umbrella (Jika kamu tidak ingin basah,
bawalah payung)
 If you want to know him more, follow him on Facebook (Jika kamu ingin
lebih mengenalnya, follow Facebooknya)
 If you love her, marry her. (Jika kamu mencintainya, nikahi dia.)
 If the food is fully cooked, serve it while warm. (Jika makanan sudah
matang sepenuhnya, sajikan selagi hangat.)

31
  If he calls, tell me immediately. (Jika dia menelepon, segera beri tahu
saya.)
 If you see John, tell him he needs to come to my office. (Jika kamu
melihat John, beri tahu dia bahwa dia perlu datang ke kantor saya.)
 If you travel abroad, remember the passport (Jika kamu bepergian ke luar
negeri, ingatlah paspor)
 If you go to Australia, send me a postcard. (Jika kamu pergi ke Australia,
kirimi saya kartu pos.)
 If you go to the supermarket, bring back some milk. (Jika kamu pergi ke
supermarket, belilah susu.)
 If Mike comes, call me. (Jika Mike datang, telepon saya.)
 If you drink, don’t drive. (Jika kamu minum, jangan mengemudi.)

Ferry. (Jika kamu mengunjungi Seattle, Berlayarlah ke Pulau Bainbrige

Back in the cool, cool air where the sun is shinning
Nothing‟s going to stop me
It‟s all in the timing
It‟s finally again my turn
It‟s time to return
„Cause I won‟t stay inside no more
No more
I can‟t wait to go
Outdoors
Well open up your door and be like me
Open up your door and then breathe free
And look at all the beauty you‟ll feel
Loved, loved, loved, loved
Listen to the music of the wind and the brides sing
We‟re just one big family
And all of nature deserves to be
Loved, loved, loved, loved,
Loved

Open up your door and then breathe free

And look at all the beauty and you‟ll find

SPRING: A Poetry

In the early part of spring

You will hear, many birds sing
They are just letting, the rest of us know
Winter is over, spring melted the snow

You will notice, a beautiful scene

The trees will slowly, begin to turn green

So much to do, so much to see
Insects and animals are happy and free
