COMPLIMENT
 Ketika kalian melihat seseorang setiap hari atau setiap minggu di tempat kerja,
sekolah, klub percakapan, atau tempat lain di mana kalian berinteraksi dengan
orang disekitarnya, kalian akan melihat beberapa aspek kepribadian, gaya
pakaian, gadget atau teknologi, atau bahkan caranya mereka mendekorasi
kantor mereka.

Pujian adalah menyatakan sesuatu yang positif tentang seseorang, dengan

tulus dan sejujurnya. Pujian itu adalah sesuatu ucapan yang membuat orang
yang mendengarnya merasa tersanjung, sehingga dapat juga memberikan
motivasi kepada orang yang di pujinya. Pujian itu penting sekali, guna untuk
menunjukan betapa kita benar-benar menyukai apa yang di katakan, di
lakukan, atau dicapai oleh seseorang. Pujian membuat orang menjadi lebih
baik.

1. Pengertian Expressions of Compliment

Jika kalian ingin meningkatkan hari seseorang, tidak ada yang lebih mudah daripada
memberinya pujian. Memberi pujian juga bisa menjadi cara mudah untuk membuka
percakapan.

What’s a compliment? A compliment is an expression of admiration, appreciation,

approval, or respect.

Jadi yang dimaksud dengan Pengertian Expressions of Compliment adalah sebuah ungkapan
dalam Bahasa Inggris yang digunakan untuk memberikan pujian, kekaguman, penghargaan,
persetujuan, atau rasa hormat..

2. Penggunaan Expressions of Compliment

Penggunaan Expressions of Compliment sebenarnya sudah dijelaskan dalam pengertian di
atas, Memberikan pujian adalah cara cepat untuk menunjukkan kepada orang lain bahwa
kalian menghargai mereka dan sesuatu yang telah mereka investasikan waktu – apakah itu
penampilan mereka, gaya pribadi mereka, proyek kerja, atau prestasi lain.

How to Give Compliments?

BUDAYA – Di Amerika Serikat, orang umumnya memberikan pujian dengan antusias
membagikan pendapat mereka. Orang Amerika cukup langsung, sehingga kalian dapat
membagikan pemikiran kalian tanpa terlalu banyak perkenalan.

Sebelum mengatakan sesuatu yang baik kepada orang lain, kalian dapat menggunakan salah
satu dari ungkapan ini untuk memperkenalkan pujian kalian:
 I’d like to tell you that…
 I wanted to say/mention that…
  I’ve been meaning to mention…
 I’ve been thinking that…
 If you ask me, you(r)….
 I noticed that…
 If you don’t mind me saying…

Frasa pengantar ini menunjukkan bahwa kalian telah berpikir dengan hati-hati sebelum
mengatakan apa yang ingin kalian katakan dan membantu orang lain merasa lebih nyaman
mendengar apa yang terjadi selanjutnya.

Here are some guidelines for giving compliments:

1. Be specific
Ketika kalian memberi seseorang pujian, kalian ingin spesifik. Semakin spesifik pujian,
semakin banyak orang tahu persis apa yang dilakukannya dengan baik.

Contoh:
Great job on the presentation!

Ini merupakan salah satu pujian yang bagus, tetapi itu tidak memberikan banyak informasi
tentang apa yang orang itu lakukan dengan benar. Mereka akan merasa baik, tetapi mereka
tidak akan memiliki informasi tentang apa yang harus dilakukan lebih banyak di masa
depan.

Contoh:
I love your style. You always wear the coolest scarves. (lebih spesifik)

2. Don’t overdo it
Batasi jumlah pujian yang kalian berikan dan jangan terlalu pribadi saat memberikan
pujian, semakin banyak, semakin baik, bukan? Itu salah!

Mengapa?
Memberikan terlalu banyak pujian bisa membuat kalian terdengar tidak tulus (lebai). Saat
memuji orang lain, sebutkan satu atau dua hal yang Anda kagumi, lalu berhenti di situ.
Anda dapat memberikan pujian ketiga, keempat, dan kelima di lain waktu.

Demikian pula, berhati-hatilah untuk tidak terlalu pribadi saat memberikan pujian. Jika
kalian memuji penampilan seseorang, jangan sebutkan bagian tubuh tertentu. Biasanya
tidak apa-apa untuk memuji mata atau rambut seseorang, tetapi tidak banyak yang lain
kecuali mereka adalah teman yang sangat dekat. Juga tidak biasa memuji penampilan fisik
seseorang dalam lingkungan profesional atau akademik. Ini bisa membuat orang lain
 merasa tidak nyaman dan umumnya tidak pantas – terutama jika kalian berbicara dengan
seseorang yang memiliki posisi kuat.

3. Use appropriate tone

Jika kalian memberi seseorang pujian, kalian ingin mengekspresikan antusiasme. Cara
termudah untuk melakukan ini adalah memastikan kalian memiliki senyum di wajah kalian
masing-masing. Karena hal ini akan mengangkat intonasi nada kalian secara alami.

Common Topics for Giving Compliments

Karena memberikan pujian adalah masalah budaya dan konvensi, ada topik umum yang
biasanya kita puji orang. Berikut adalah tiga kategori utama untuk memberikan pujian:

 Performance
 achievements (prestasi)
 talents (bakat)
 skills (keterampilan)
 abilities (kemampuan)
 Appearance
 style (gaya)
 personal taste in possessions (selera pribadi dalam kepemilikan)
 Personal qualities
 personality characteristics (karakteristik kepribadian)

Contoh Expressions of Compliment

Indirect compliments
1. Compliments on performance, achievements, talents, skills, or abilities
Cara paling umum untuk memuji seseorang adalah dengan menyebutkan kinerjanya di
tempat kerja atau di sekolah.

Contoh:
I read your essay – it was so well written! Congratulations!
Saya membaca esai Anda – itu ditulis dengan sangat baik! Selamat!

Jika orang tersebut memiliki bakat, keterampilan, atau kemampuan khusus, kita dapat
memuji mereka karenanya. Misalnya, jika kalian melihat teman kalian tampil dalam
permainan, kalian dapat memberikan pujian atas kemampuan mereka.

Contoh:
I loved your performance in the school play! You are a talented actor.
Saya menyukai penampilan kamu di drama sekolah! Kamu adalah aktor yang berbakat.
2. Compliments on appearance, style, or personal taste in possessions
 Karena kita melihat orang-orang setiap hari di tempat kerja, sekolah, atau bahkan di jalan,
kita jelas melihat penampilan fisik mereka. Merupakan hal yang biasa untuk memuji
potongan rambut atau gaya rambut orang lain atau menyebutkan sesuatu tentang pakaian
atau asesorisnya. Demikian pula, kalian juga dapat memuji selera pribadi seseorang
sehubungan dengan barang-barang seperti sepeda, mobil, atau sepeda motornya, atau
rumah atau apartemen orang tersebut, termasuk perabot dan dekorasi di dalamnya.

Contoh:
You look amazing. Where’d you get that dress?
Kamu terlihat luar biasa. Di mana kamu mendapatkan gaun itu?

Aku suka rambutmu. Ini benar-benar menyanjung wajahmu.

3. Compliments on personal qualities or personality characteristics

Selain memuji keterampilan dan kemampuan seseorang atau selera pribadi mereka, kalian
juga dapat menyebutkan kualitas pribadi atau karakteristik kepribadian yang kalian
kagumi. Kalian juga dapat memuji sikap, pendekatan, atau kemampuan seseorang untuk
tetap tenang, termotivasi, atau menjadi pekerja keras.

Contoh:
You’re always so happy. It always cheers me up.
Kamu selalu sangat senang. Itu selalu menghiburku.

You’re such a hard-working person. I admire you.

Anda adalah orang yang pekerja keras. Saya mengagumi Anda.

I’m impressed that you were able to stay so calm in the meeting. What’s your secret?
