Memperkenalkan

diri secara singkat

good morning, ladies and gentlemen, my

name is Brian. I have a great honor to be
moderator in this seminar today.

Membaca biodata (curriculum vitae) dari presenter

Ladies and gentlemen , in this very special occasion, I would like

to introduce the speaker/presenter to you. His name is Mr. Hasan,
Alam Hasan, he is from Lubuk Linggau, he works in Regional
Planning Board, South Sumatera Province. Mr Hasan graduated
from Sriwijaya University, Palembang, majoring in Business
Management. Mr. Hasan is going to present a topic on Human
Resources Development in South Sumatera Mr. Hasan, please!

Mr. Hasan, please!

Mr. Hasan, would you please!
Mr. Hasan, the floor is yours!

Setelah penyampain makalah

1. Mengucapkan terima kasih
Thank you Mr. Hasan.
Ladies and gentlemen, that was the presentation from Mr.
Hasan with the topic Human Resources Development in South
Sumatera. Before you ask questions or give comment, please
raise your hand, mention your name and your institution. For
the first session, Id like to give it to three people. Yes, please
the lady on the right..
Note: jika penanya lupa menyebutkan nama/institusi,
moderator harus cepat memutus pembicaraan dengan
mengatakan:
Excuse me madam (sir), your name and your institution please!

Meskipun moderator tahu nama orang yang bertanya, dia

tidak boleh menyebut nama tersebut, kecuali nama itu
dikenal oleh seluruh audience . Moderator cukup menyebut
dengan posisi duduk, atau ciri-ciri orang tersebut yang bisa
membedakan dengan orang lain.

Yes, please, the gentlemen on the left.

Yes, please, the lady with the eyeglass.

Yes, please, the lady in blue dress.

Jika si penanya bicara panjang lebar dan tidak jelas moderator

berhak meminta sipenanya untuk memperbaiki pertanyaan,
dengan cara:

Excuse me sir (madam), would you please rephrase your

question? (bukan: would you please, repeat the question?

Bila kalimat ini yang di ucapkan, dkhawatirkan si penanya

akan mengulang kalimatnya yang panjang dan tidak jelas tadi.

Note: jangan sekali-kali mengatakan : please repeat, repeat!

(sambil menggerak-gerakkan jari telunjuk) gerakan jari seperti
ini adalah kode etik tidak senonoh dalam budaya inggris.

Moderator harus memastikan apakah pertanyaan tadi sudah

terjawab, atau apakah sipenanya sudah puas atas jawaban
presenter.
Excuse me sir (madam), does that answer your question?
Excuse me sir (madam), may we go on?
Sirr (madam), are you satisfied?

jangan sekali-kali menggunakan kalimat-kalimat dibawah ini:

Sirr (madam), is it clear?
Sirr (madam), do you understand?

Continue to the second session

Ladies and gentlemen, lets go on to the second session of
questions and answer. For this, Id like to give it to two people only.

session of questions and answer. Now, lets listen the summary
from secretary. The secretary, please!
