Bobo.id - Pada pelajaran bahasa Inggris kelas 11, kita belajar mengenai menulis surat undangan atau invitation pada Chapter 3: Party Time. Sebagian surat undangan atau invitation termasuk surat resmi, apabila terkait dengan acara resmi.
Linguistic characteristic dari surat undangan adalah:
1. Simple, precise, and concise words. (Singkat, padat, dan menggunakan kata yang pantas.)
2. Detailed information. (Informasi detail)
3. The tone should be friendly and sincere. Words should be chosen carefully. (Nada undangan harus ramah dan sopan. Kata-kata harus dipilih dengan hati-hati.)
4. The style of writing should be formal. (Gaya penulisan harus formal.)
Selain undangan dengan surat, kita juga belajar secara lisan melalui ekspresi.
Tak lupa, kita juga harus memberikan respons pada orang yang mengundang berupa accepting invitation (menerima undangan) atau declining invitation (menolak undangan). Bagaimana ekspresi accepting dan declining invitation tersebut? Kita pelajari dalam dialog ini, ya!
