CHAPTER II
DISSCUSION
A. Definition of Greetings
1. Formal Greeting
In English, formal greetings are used when interacting with others to be polite and
show respect. It’s not necessary to use formal greetings with friends, family, classmates,
and other people you know well, but you should use formal English when greeting people
such as:
a) Your boss, supervisor, manager, or any authority figure at work, unless the
workplace norm is informal.
b) Authority figures in general, such as a judge or police officer.
c) Political figures, such as a member of congress or governor.
d) People in the service industry that you don’t know well, such as a waitress or hotel
receptionist.
2
e) Your teacher or professor.
f) Someone you are meeting for the meeting for the first time.
g) Someone you don’t know very well or don’t see regularly
h) Medical professionals, such as a doctor or nurse.
i) A religious leader, such as a priest, pastor, minister, or rabbi.
These are formal ways of saying “hello”, which change depending on the time of
day. Keep in mind that “good night” is only used to say “good bye”, so if you meet
someone late in the day, remember to greet them with “good evening”, rather than “good
night”. Good morning can be made more casual by simply saying “morning”. You can
also use “afternoon” or “evening” as informal greetings, but these are less commonly
used.
These greetings are formal and polite. If you say this to someone when you meet him
or her for the first time, it will make you seem courteous. Remember to only use these
greetings the first time you meet someone. Next time you see the person you can show
that you remember him or her by saying “it’s nice to see you again”.
This greeting question is only asked by people who have already met. If someone asks
you “how have you been?” they want to know if you have been well since the last time
the two of you met.
This greeting is very formal, and quite uncommon, but it may still be used by some
older people. The proper response is “I’m doing well” or, as strange as it seems, some
people even ask “how do you do?” right back as an answer. This is a conversation use
formal greetings :
3
James: “Good morning, Professor Austin. How are you doing?”
James: “I’m great, thank you. This is my friend Emma. She is thinking about applying to
this college. She has a few questions. Would you mind telling us about the process,
please?”
Professor Austin: “Hello, Emma! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m more than happy to
speak with you. Please stop by my office next week.”
2. Informal Greetings
When greeting another person in English, you should use a greeting appropriate to the
relationship you have with that person. For example, you would greet your supervisor
differently than you would greet a friend you see at the grocery store. With your
supervisor, you'd use a formal greeting, such as, ''Hello, how are you?'' With your friend,
however, you might say something like, ''Hey! What's up?'' This is an example of an
informal greeting. Let's take a look at some common types of informal greetings in
English that you can use with friends, family members, classmates, and coworkers.
Omitting Words
One of the signs of informal language in English is the habit of leaving out words in
phrases to make the language seem more casual. For example, when you wake up in the
morning and see your sibling, you might simply say ''Morning,'' rather than ''Good
morning.'' Another example is to say ''How ya doing?'' in place of ''How are you doing?''
4
would not be appropriate to say ''hey!'' However, you can use this greeting in most
informal situations. Here are a few examples of how to use ''hey'' in a greeting: ''Hey,
what's up?'' , ''Hey, how are you?'' , ''Hey, you!'', ''Hey, boy.'', ''Hey, girl.'', ''Hey, can we
talk?'', ''Hey there.''.
Another common English habit is to greet others by saying “ya” instead of “you”.
Again, this is only appropriate in informal dialogue. Many times, people combine this
approach with the omission of words. For example, someone might say “How ya doing?”
instead of “How are you doing?”. Here are some more examples of using “ya” instead of
“you”. This is a conversation use formal greetings :
Helen : “To the library. I’ve got a history exam next week and need to start studying.
Ugh.”
Jane : “ Oh, No. Well, I’ll see you later then. Good luck!”

3. Slang English Greeting
Slang greetings are extremly informal and should only be used with people that you
know very well, and very comfortable with keep in mind that a lot of slang is regional,and
using australian slang,for example, in america can sound quite strange. You will need to
learn the local slang wherever you are. Example:
a). Yo!
b). Howdy!
e). Hiya !
B. Conversation
a. Definition of Conversation
b. Opening Conversation
6
A closed-ended question (e.g. "Nice weather today, isn't it?") is regarded as
potentially less effective because it can be answered with a simple "Mm-hmm," which is
essentially a conversational dead end, requiring the initiater of the conversation to start
from scratch.
How to Start a Conversation notes that in conversation openers, "There really are
only two topics to choose from – The situation [or] the other person. Secondly, there are
only two ways to begin a conversation: State a fact [or] ask a
question/opinion". Accordingly, openers are often linked to props, e.g. "Do you have a
cigarette?" "Wow, you're reading Crime and Punishment, that's one of my favorite
books..." "I like your skirt, where did you get it?" etc. Many venues, such as singles tennis
events, etc. are geared toward prop-based conversation openers. Some people keep
conversation pieces for this purpose.
Judy Ringer's We Have to Talk: A Step-By-Step Checklist for Difficult
Conversations points out that an entirely different set of openers may be used for
sensitive conversations, e.g. about employee performance, in which a main goal may be
to avoid putting the person on the defensive. These openers often take the form of I
statements, e.g. "I have something I’d like to discuss with you that I think will help us
work together more effectively".
c. Closing Conversation
You've just had a really interesting conversation with a potential colleague, friend, or
customer. Or maybe you've had a chat that was a tedious waste of your time. Either way,
the conversation is done and you would to move on -- but you don't want to seem rude or
uninterested. What do you do? like
7
1. Say thank you and goodbye.
Sometimes the easiest approach is to be direct. "It's been great talking with you.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Enjoy the rest of the evening." Barrett suggests
accompanying this statement with a handshake (unless one or both of your are balancing
food and drinks), and then moving on.
8
7. Ask if you will meet the other person at a future event.
"I've really enjoyed talking with you. Will you be at the next meeting? Maybe we can
continue our conversation then." As Barrett says, this is short and sweet and leaves the
door open for future connections. It also signals that you need to move on for now.

C. Describing Family
There are numerous words that one could use to describe his/ her family and frankly...
'Dull' cannot be one of them! So, it's time to buck up on your English speaking skills and
pump up some adrenaline in your description.
When you are asked to describe your family, you can start by describing each person
of your family one at a time. Remember, the shorter, the sweeter! Describe the key
members in your life, your immediate family. Let's take a look at one example to give
you a brief gist of which direction you should expand in.
Example :
My family consists of my mother, father and my little sister. Beginning with my mother,
she is like any other mom. Loving, caring, and concerned yet when she is angry you will
definitely know. She's artistic and seeks to do things that revolve around art. She loves to
cook and is extremely innovative even in that aspect. She is the anchor of our house and
is definitely the driving force for our family! My father is the cornerstone of our family.
He[ is rigid yet flexible. He is responsible for all the discipline in our house. Possessing
the love for gardening, he invests a lot of his time in innovative gardening techniques. He
loves all of us and holds himself responsible for our family's well being. My inspiration,
my dad. The mischievous, little one in our family is my little sister. Being the youngest,
luck is always on her side. She is blessed with a smile of an angel, she too has got the
artistic touch of mom. Art and Crafts hold her attention for the longest time throughout
the day. Filling our house with a frequent set of frowns and smiles, she is indeed the little
demon of our house .
Rule #1: While you're describing a member of your family, be clear in describing the role
played by that particular member in your household.
Rule #2: Spell out the personality of the person you're describing. Be descriptive and
analytical.
Rule #3: Talk about that person's interests and hobbies, likes and dislikes.
Rule #4: Never oversell. Keep your description grounded to reality rather than just
spluttering a set of irrelevant adjectives.
10
Rule #5: Be positive. While attempting to describe someone always make it a point to
give your description the 'positive tilt'.
Having been born and brought- up among those members, describing them must be
the easiest task. Ensure you make use of basic English speaking terms and add a touch of
applicable adjectives to improve your spoken English and go through this task efficiently.
You could also sign up for online English speaking courses that are known to improve
English vocabulary as well as enable you to learn English speaking fluently
Tip:
While describing your family, make sure there is a flow. Use your descriptions to
move the story forward. Do not list things; make sure your description assists what you
narrate . Being descriptive is an art and an art is something you pick up after dedicated
practice.

You are my best friend ever. You always understand me though others won’t. When you
decided to study in java, I was so confused and sad because a person who always next to
me would leave me. I remember the last time we met, you said to me that it would be OK
and our friendship would be still good.
Lisa, I do promise to introduce Hendra, the person you admire… 🙂 So, when will you
come back?
Please replay my letter as soon as you can because I’m really interested to know about

11. APOLOGIZING
A. Definition
To apologize is to tell someone that you are sorry for having done something that has
caused him/her inconvenience or unhappiness.Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone
needs yo know what to do and say after making a mistake. This unit focuses on apologies,
and the aim is to help you know both what to say and when to say it.
Usually, you apologize if you have violated a social rule or have done something that
hurts or inconveniences another person. The function of the apology is to show regret for
the wrongdoing and to offer an explanation or a remedy.
Apologies vary, depending on the formality of the situation, the relationship between
the two people, and most important, the seriousness of the mistake. Stepping on
someone’s toe accidentally would not require the same type of apology as running over
someone’s dog in the street. In general, the more serious the error, the more elaborate the
apology should be. There are five possible parts to an apology :
Example :
1. I’d like to apologize for my trouble making.
(saya akan meminta maaf atas kesalahan yang telah diperbuat).
