Function Of Language

1. The Function of Informal and Formal Introduction.

The informal introduction such like “Hello” or “Hi” is commonly used for an
everyday situation. This kind of form of introduction is suitable for family or
friend interactions.
Alya: Hello, I'm Hana. I think we're going to be working together on this
project.
Hana: Hai, Alya. Excited to collaborate with you!

The formal introduction like “How do you do” is rather more polite and is
commonly used for formal occasions like meeting with new colleagues. This
type of formal introduction shows politeness and respect to other people.
“How do you do” is commonly used in business meetings, or interviews.
Jennifer: How do you do? I'm Jennifer Miller, the hiring manager for this
position.
Alex: How do you do, Ms. Miller? I'm Alex Turner, and I'm excited about the
opportunity to join your team.

2. Asking and Giving Opinion.

 Opinion is a personal believe or thoughts about something in particular based
on their emotions and, experiences or even the real facts. This “opinion”
reflects the person’s point of view about the object that they are discussing.
 A: What do you think about the new school policy?
B: Personally, I find it quite restrictive. How about you?
 A: How was the movie last night?
B: I loved it! The plot was intriguing, and the actors did a fantastic job.

3. Asking and Giving Advice. (Solicited and Unsolicited)

Advice is recommendations that is given to someone to help them make a
decision or to take an appropriate action. This “advice” is based on the
advisor’s knowledge or experience in a certain subject. The advice is given to
assist the recipient to choose whether to follow it or not based on their own
judgment and circumstances.

Solicited advice is guidance or recommendations that are specifically

requested or sought after by an individual. In this case, someone actively
seeks input or suggestions from others in order to make informed decisions
or address a particular situation. Solicited advice is typically given with the
understanding that the recipient is open to receiving input and values the
perspective of the advisor on the matter at hand.

Jeno: I want to improve my cooking skills. Any advice for a beginner?

Riko: Absolutely! I recommend checking out applications like Duolingo. This
application offers great beginner-friendly courses.

Sasa: I'm planning a trip to Europe. Any must-visit places you recommend?
Helena: Definitely visit Rome for its history, Barcelona for its architecture, and
Amsterdam for its unique atmosphere.

Dino: I have a big exam coming up. How do you manage to study effectively?
 Juna: Break your study sessions into smaller chunks, take regular breaks,
and try teaching the material to someone else—it helps reinforce your
understanding.

Unsolicited advice is guidance or recommendations offered to someone

without their explicit request or invitation. In these situations, the advice giver
takes the initiative to share their opinions or suggestions, often with the
intention of being helpful. However, unsolicited advice can sometimes be
perceived as intrusive or unwelcome, as the recipient may not have sought
input on the matter. It's important to consider the context and the relationship
dynamics when offering advice without being asked, as individuals may have
different preferences regarding the receipt of unsolicited guidance.

Jane: Your living room could use some redecorating. Have you thought about
a new color scheme?
Jesica: I'm happy with how it looks, but thanks for the suggestion.

Dio: You should be investing more. It's the key to financial success
Jo: I appreciate the advice, but I have my own financial strategy

In summary, the key distinction is whether the advice is actively sought or

given without a specific request. The reception of advice can depend on
individual preferences and the nature of the relationship between the advisor
and the recipient.

4. Asking and giving Likes and Dislikes.

Asking and giving Likes and Dislikes refers to the act of expressing approval
or disapproval of content, such as posts, comments, or videos, typically on
social media platforms. Users can use the "Like" button to show appreciation
or agreement with content, while the "Dislike" or similar buttons convey
disagreement or dissatisfaction. This feedback helps gauge the popularity or
reception of content within a community.
