By Syahril, S.Pd., M.Pd

UNIT 1.
SPEAKING CONVERSATION

a. Informal Meeting and Greetings


It is usual for a third person to perform introductions in English. He will say:
 This is Mr. Willgo … This is Miss Winy Joli (at the same time indicating each
person with his hands).
How do you do? – How do you do?
Or:
 May I introduce you to Mr. Joko?..… This is Mr.Tatang.
How do you do – how do you do. or Pleased to meet you Pleased to meet you,
too. (especially in the USA). Remember that “How do you do” is only used after
intro ductions, and cannot be used for later meetings.

If there is no third person to introduce you, you can say:


 May I introduce myself? My name is (‘s) Doni.
How do you do? My name is (‘s) Mary.

Note:
 Men do not call themselves Mr. They use either their christian name and surname
as above, or just their surname. Women normally use both christian name and
surname; they may add Mrs, or Miss to avoid confusion.
Introducing a speaker:
 If you are introducing a speaker you should say (indicating the speaker with your
hand):
Ladies and gentlemen, Professor Iwan.
Or:
 Ladies and gentlemen, I have great pleasure introducing our guest speaker.
General Brown.
b. Times
The next time you meet:
 For the next and later meetings, to people whom you know, you can say:
 Good morning (until about lunch-time-12 midday).
 Good afternoon (till tea-time or just after – 5 to 6 p.m.).
 Good evening (till 12 midnight).
 The answers are the same.
Note:
 Do not say Good day, except in Australia.
 Do not used Good evening when leaving. Here Good night is used.
 When you know the person a little better, you may say:
How are you? I’m fine thanks.
The answer will be:
 Fine, thanks; or : Very well, thank you.
 Remember that the thank you or thanks should end the phrase, not begin it.
 If you are not well and wish to make this known, say: Not very well, or : Not too
well, I’m afraid.
Note:
 It is essential to use rising intonation in “I’m afraid”.
 Most English people only shake hands when they are introduced, or when
meeting after not seeing each other for a long time. They do not how for
introductions.

the most basic question. Could you tell me a little bit about yourself?

a local hospital for two years as a nurse and enjoying every second of it.

A: So you love being a nurse? Why did you first decided that you wanted to be a nurse?

was in elementary school. (Benar, saya sangat suka menjadi perawat. Saya

your experience, have you ever come across a patient that wasn’t satisfied with your
care?

B: Of course. I believe it’s a normal thing to encounter in this line of job. But what I did is
I try to assess what went wrong. Maybe they act like that because of their own
problem, or maybe it’s because of me. If it’s because of me I would take time to
reflect and try to be more understanding towards my patients.

A: Okay. So, last question. Tell us why we should hire you?

B: I believe that I could contribute a lot to your hospital and that all of my energy and
care would totally be focused on helping and taking care of my patients.
