A. Pengertian Suggestion and Offer

Asking and giving suggestion berarti memberi dan meminta saran/nasehat/masukan
ataupun ide lainnya antara satu orang dengan orang lain. Hal ini dapat diimplementasikan dalam
kehidupan nyata dimana manusia sebagai mahluk sosial pasti akan saling membutuhkan satu
sama lain. Pada waktu tertentu kita dapat menasihati orang lain, sementara dilain waktu kita jua
pasti akan meminta
Sementara Offer adalah sebuah tawaran atau menawarkan terhadap sesuatu. Offer dalam
bahasa inggris dapat digunakan sebagai verb (kata kerja) dan noun (kata benda). Dalam
menawarkan sesuatu seseorang juga harus menggunakan kata dan ungkapan yang tepat sehingga
orang lain akan menerima tawaran yang kita berikan dan bahkan orang lain tidak akan
tersinggung dengan niat
baik kita.
Itulah sebenarnya konsep dasar dari suggestions and offer yang dapat berjalan bersamaan
ada saran/nasihat yang baik dari seseorang kepada orang lain, tetapi agar saran dan tawaran itu
dapat diterima maka kata, kalimat dan ungkapan yang digunakan pun harus sopan dan lembut.
