Congratulations

Congratulation is an expression that we use to give the congratulation when she or he

succeeds in doing something. The verb congratulate collocates with both prepositions, but

the meaning is slightly different. When you congratulate someone on something you give

them your good wishes because something special or pleasant has happened to them, e.g. "I'd

like to congratulate you on your marriage".

Example

Passing National Examination

C : Hello B, have you read the announcement?

(halo B, kamu sudah baca pengumuman belum?)
D : What about?
(Pengumuman apa?)
C : I have just told by Erick via SMS that you had passed the national Examination.
(Aku baru saja diberitahu Erick lewat sms kalau kamu sudah lulus UN)
D : Oh, really?
(Benarkah?)
C  : Yes, you may read the SMS by your self, here you are.
(Iya, kamu boleh baca sms nya sendiri, nih)
D : Wow, Thank you very much for telling me.
(Wow, makasih banyak sudah memberitahuku)
C : Don’t mention it. I congratulate on your graduation.
(Sama-sama. Selamat atas kelulusannya)
D : Thank you very much for saying so.
(Terimakasih atas)
C : You are welcome. So where will you continue your study?
(Sama-sama. Jadi kamu mau melanjutkan study kemana?)
D : I still have no idea yet.
(Aku masih belum tahu)
Wish and Hope

If you want to use "I hope" and "I wish" correctly, you just need to memorize these two
phrases:
I hope I can...
I wish I could...
You may be wondering: why do English speakers use the present tense for "hope" and the
past tense for "wish"?
The secret is that "could" is not really past tense. It looks like past tense, but it's secretly
something different. It's the "unreal" aspect. In other words, it expresses something that's not
really true, or not very likely.
We use "wish" to talk about things that are impossible, or things that probably won't happen:
I wish I could fly.
I wish there were more hours in the day.
I wish I'd studied something a little more practical.
On the other hand, we use "I hope..." when there's a good chance that something might
happen. You can use it to say what you want to happen in the future:
I hope this cake turns out OK.
I hope we can still be friends.

Example
A: Do you know the man sitting over there?
B: Yes, he is the buthcer.
A: I heard a sad story from him.
B: What is that? Would you like to tell me?
A: But you have to keep this secret.
B: Yes I will.
A: My father is doctor and the butcher checked his health to my father.
B: And then?
A: My father told me that the butcher has a cancer in his lung.
B: Really?
A: Yes, and the butcher doesn’t want his family know this, so that’s why I asked you to keep
this secret.
B: Oh my God. Let’s hope for the best. He is a good man.
Suggestion to do
We often suggest ideas or things to do. Here are some common examples with seeing a film.
You can use the structures to talk about other things, of course.

How To Use These Phrases In Your English

1. 1 and 3 are structures that are frequently taught in coursebooks.

2. 2 and 4 are different because you are asking for your friend's opinion, so they are less
forceful, especially 4.
3. 5 is very common in spoken English but is not often taught in coursebooks. It's short
for 'Do you fancy � '
4. 6 is also like 2 because you put your own idea first as a preference. You can also say
'What about you?'
5. 7 notice the use of 'always' here in a suggestion. It doesn't refer to time or frequency.
It means this is a possibility.
6. 8 is a version of 1, using a negative question. However, 8 can also be used when
making a suggestion for someone else to do something. The speaker may or may not
be included.
7. We use 'one idea' or 'one possibility' meaning: it's one thing we could do.
8. 10 is quite a strong way of politely expressing your own preference, like 6.
