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).
