Bahasa Inggris Kelas XII: Offering Helps and Services

 Dalam kegiatan bisnis, kita sering melakukan offering helps and services. Menawarkan jasa atau produk yang kita jual.

Nah, ungkapan-ungkapan yang biasa digunakan dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris Kelas XII ini pun membahas materi tersebut.

Contoh ungkapan-ungkapan offering helps and services

  • May I help you?
  • What can I do for you?
  • Would you like me to help you?
  • Do you need any help?
  • Is there anything I can do to help?
Penggunaan ungkapan offering help/services yang sering digunakan adalah "May I help you?"

Setelah memberikan offering help/service, kita akan memperoleh response. Menerima dan menolak penawaran.

Ungkapan accepting services/helps
  • Yes, please. Thanks a lot.
  • Yes, please. If it's not too much trouble.
  • Thanks. That's very kind of you.
  • Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
Selain menerima, kita pun kadang mendapatkan penolakan offering help/ service. Ungkapan-ungkapan menolak yang biasa digunakan adalah tersebut di bawah ini.

Ungkapan-ungkapan refusing help/service

  • No thanks. I'm OK.
  • Thanks. I think I can manage.
  • No, thanks. It's all right.
  • No, thanks. I think I can do it myself.
Dalam percakapan sehari-hari, kita akan sering mendapatkan penolakan lewat gestures (gerak tubuh) seperti gelengan kepala atau ucapan "No."

Menawarkan bantuan dalam Bahasa Inggris akan terdengar lebih sopan, jika kita menggunakan bentuk past tense/ lampau. 

Contoh: 
  • Can I buy you a cake? (present tense)
  • Could I buy you a cake? (past tense)
Bentuk yang kedua (past tense) lebih sopan dibandingkan yang pertama (present tense).
