Chapter 4

SUMMARY
The purpose of an invitation letter is to invite someone to a particular event. It can be a

party, presentation, meeting, or so on. In English, an invitation letter is usually used to invite the
person and to ensure that the person receiving the letter is coming to the event. Invitations may be
in two forms:
1. Invitation cards :
used to invite someone to non-formal events, such as a housewarming party,
birthday party, etc. The invitation card should be enclosed with a more formal letter if you
want to invite someone that you respect, such as your boss, your important client, etc.
2. Formal invitation letter :

used to invite someone to a formal event, such as a product presentation, meeting,
and business gathering. The language of the letter should be formal as a sign of to respect
for the one we invite.
The Structure of an invitation letters:
1
The language
The renses used in an invitation are the present and future tense. The present tense conveys
information about the event and the future tense is to seek assurance that the guest is going to
attend.
Format
There are three formats:
1. Full-Block Style
All the elements are aligned to the left margin and there are no indented lines.
2. Modified Block Style

The return address, date, closing and signature start just to the right. All body paragraphs begin
at the left margin.
3. Indented or Semi-Block Style

Similar to the modified block business letter style, except that the first line of each paragraph is
indented.
REMEMBER
1. Date
We have to be consistent in writing a letter, because American and British people have their
own style. In American, the order of the date is MM/DD/YYYY (e.g. January 6, 2015. In
British English, the order will be DD/MM/YYYY (c.g. 6 January 2015)
2. Salutation.
Write "Dear" + the title of the person and their family name.
eg. Dear Mr Blacksmith, (British) Dear Mr. Blacksmith: (American)
3. Introduction
2
Introducing yourselves, as well as the organization in which you are representing.
4. Body of the letter

Telling detailed information about the event, the purpose, the date and time, special conditions
(like dress code, things to bring etc.)
5. Appreciation
You have to show your hope that the guest will attend the event. You can do so by stating that
you look forward to seeing the individual at the event. It will be followed by how the guest
should confirm their attendance (just write RSVP, or please contact before...)
The following text is for questions 1 to 3.

Dear Principals,
The Education for The Future Consulting, in association with the Bandung
Education Bureau, would like to invite all Bandung High Schools to join "The Education
for the Future Campaign. We are all concerned about education for the future generation.
All schools are motivated to join the campaign. It is very easy to take part.
11
Find the 15 enclosed posters. Display the posters in the classrooms. We do hope
they will encourage students to continue their education after high school.
The campaign is very important because of the large number of drop-outs. The
National Statistics Bureau say the higher a person's education, the more money he or she
can make. A person with a high school certificate only earns Rp800.000 a year. However,
those who finish their higher education degree can earn Rp5.000.000 a year. It is a
significant gap. So, it is important to stay in school if students want to earn more money.
Thank you for your cooperation. Future generations rely on us.
Sincerely,
Suhendra Margita

SUMMARY
According to Luis E. Gonzalez, a personal letter is a letter that is concerned with
personal matters (rather than professional concerns) and is sent from one individual to
another. Personal letters are used for several purposes, such as to congratulate, to share
ideas, to share experiences, to express concern, to request something etc.
Personal letters are used to maintain relationships between two persons. That's why
someone should write personal letters with good manners (in good structure and language).
In "The Art of the Personal Letter", Sharon Hogan says that good letter writing feels much
like good conversation. In modern communication, a personal letter is delivered by
electronic mail (email).
The Structure
Personal letters consist of four basic parts: the heading, the opening, the body, and
the closing.
- The heading includes the date of the letter and the sender's address.
- The opening of the letter consists of the salutation and the recipient.
- The body contains the information to the recipient.
- The closing contains the complimentary closing and the writer's signature.
Opening Salutations
There are some ways to give salutations:
- Dear (commonly used)
- Good Day or Hi/Hello (neutral and less formal)
The salutation is followed by recipient name (either last names or full names). You may include
someone's title Mr, Mrs, Ms, and Dr.
Mr - for a male
Mrs - for a married female
Miss - for an unmarried female
Ms - for a female whose status is unknown or would prefer to remain anonymous
Dr - for a person with the status of a doctor
Example:
 Dear Mr Subekti,
 Hi, Julian,
 Dear Dad,
Complimentary Closing
14
There are some ways to write complimentary closing:
- Regards, (neutral there is no close relation)
- Sincerely yours, Cordially (shorten the distance between the sender and the recipient)
- With Love, (close relation).
15
Note : There is no rule what you have to write in the body of the letter. A personal letter is like a
conversation. You can share ideas, write about experiences, express feeling, express thanks,
congratulate etc. We have to write in good language.
16
Choose the correct answer by crossing A, B, C, D, or E.

things from you all. It was really a good opportunity to be part of this team. I am sure it will
be difficult to forget all the experiences and relationships we have had so far. We will
remain friends. My time is always available for you all. I do hope my new job gives me
teamwork like I have had here.

Dear Suprapto,
I would like to apologize for the inconvenience that I caused yesterday. It was really
my fault. I didn't realize I had removed your books from the shelf.
I just wanted to look for my missing novels. Unintentionally, I removed your books
from the shelf to the boxes I thought it was the right decision to put the books in the boxes
we prepared for the temporary container during the installation of the new furniture.
I didn't think that it would cause you problems in finding books that you needed.
I promise to put the books back on the shelf in alphabetical order, so that it will be
easier for you to find the book you are looking for.
Forgive me because I didn't consider that you still possibly needed any book from
the shelf. I know I caused you inconvenience and made you upset. Once again, I promise
that it won't happen again.
Sincerely,
Ahmadi

Hi Muljanto,
How is life? I do hope you are always in good shape. How do you feel living in Malang?
Here in Bekasi, it rains almost every day. It is good to cool the city down but some places will be
flooded quickly.
Since you moved to Malang, our neighborhood seems quiet. Nobody wants to gather in the
park again on the weekend. I really miss the time when we spent the night with you, Lukas,
Ahmad, Surbakti, Rumampi, and Made. In spite of my sadness, I'm glad that you are ready to start
college. I wish you all the best for your study.
Where have you finally decided to live, in a dormitory, a boarding house, or an apartment? I
heard that your parents want you to live in a dormitory but you prefer a boarding house. I think
living in an apartment is one of the best choices. You will have a kitchen to prepare your own
20
meals. Additionally, it is roomy so you can do many things without getting bored quickly.
I want to tell you that during the New Year holiday we are having a college reunion
We will gather in Gayatri Beach We will be happy if you can join the reunion.
I wish you all the best for your studies. Take care in Malang
Best wishes,
Kusuma

Dear Anne,
How is your holiday, Anne? Right now, I am enjoying a cup of hot coffee in the coziest café
in Yogyakarta while writing this letter for you. You know my uncle, don't you? He always reminds
me that I shouldn't miss seeing the whole city and visiting some beautiful places too. So, we
decided to walk around the city all day and we don't forget to take some pictures. We have visited
Alun-alun, The Sultan's Palace, Taman Sari and of course, Malioboro street. We didn't go to
Prambanan Temple because it was almost dark. But, we are going to go and see it tomorrow.
This city is unbelievable. The streets are always busy. Many people walk along the
pedestrian streets. They look busy with their own business. It is very hot around here.
I hope you enjoy your holidays too and I can't wait to give you some souvenirs that I bought
for you. I miss you Anne and I will see you back in Perth on the 15th
Love,

your concentration. So, take a short break after 30 or 45
minutes studying. You need to rest your brain. It will
help you reinforce what you have learnt. The break
enables you to understand more and remember better.
2) Pretend you are a student that does not really understand what you are learning.
30
Explain to yourself about the material you are studying. It helps you remember the
material in detail. So, you can easily retrieve the material from your memory.
3) Find a friend to discuss the important subjects.. Choose a friend who is really willing
to study. The discussion will confirm your understanding Hence you will learn and
remember more.

How to Improve Speaking English Skill

Basil is well-known as a seasoning leaf for various foods. Basil leaves have a strong fragrance.
Because basil belongs to the same family as peppermint,
basil shares the same characteristics with peppermint Its
leaf is round at the bottom and pointed at the end.
This leaf is generally used fresh in cooked recipes.
It has been a prominent part of Italian cuisine and plays a
major ingredient of Southeast Asian cuisines, such as
Thail, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Lao and Indonesian. It is
added at the last moment of the cooking process. It is
believed that cooking will quickly destroy the flavor. Basil
can be kept in a plastic bag for a short time in a refrigerator. If you want to keep it for a long time,
blanch it quickly in boiling water and put it in the freezer. Dried basil is frequently found in
Chinese soup. But, people say that it has lost most of its flavor

Almond
Most people have misunderstood what almonds are. People think that almonds are nuts, instead of
seeds of the fruit of the almond tree Almond trees are medium-sized. They yield fragrant pink and
white flowers. Similarly to apricot or peach trees, almond trees yield fruits with stone-like seeds
within. The seed is what we call an almond nut Almonds are white. They are covered by a thin
brownish skin and protected by a hard shell.
There are two categories of almond. They are sweet and bitter almonds. Sweet almonds are
edible. They are oval and have a buttery taste. We can find them in the market in their shells or
with their shells removed. Meanwhile, bitter almonds are inedible because they contain toxic sub-
stances.
Almonds are known as seeds high in mono-unsaturated fats. Those health promoting fats
also found in olive oil. It is believed that consuming mono-unsaturated fats link to a lower risk of
heart disease. The other reason why they are good to consume is that they contain antioxidant
action of vitamin E. It helps us lower our LDL cholesterol.

Jellyfish
A jellyfish is a sea creature that is gelatinous or made up of "jelly-like

material it lives in almost all oceans from the surface to the deep sea. A
jellyfish has a gelatinous umbrella-shaped bell for its movement and
tentacles for capturing prey. There are three kinds of jellyfish; medusae
(stinging jellyfish), comb jellies (non-stinging jellyfish), and salp (a
barrel-shaped jellyfish).
Jellyfish's tentacles have millions of very small cells, called nematocysts. The cells enable it to
capture prey by injecting some toxin. The toxin will spread through the prey's skin A jellyfish eats
many kinds of things, such as plankton (small plants), copepods, fish eggs and small fish. They even
eat other jellyfish. A great number of jellyfish in one area will be bad for fishermen because they will
eat almost everything in the water and no fish will come close to the area:

Five Drinks to Help You Lose Weight
There are many ways to lose weight. You can do
sports regularly and eat some nutritious food and
drinks. In this case, you have to watch every drink
that you want to consume because soft drinks, fruit
juices and energy drinks can be loaded with added
sugars and carbohydrates that can sabotage your

up without packing on the pounds.
The first drink is water. It is important to
remember water is the best choice for effective weight
loss. If you are bored with drinking pure water, you can try adding fresh lemon slices, lime,
cucumber, and even a slice of tomato to add flavour without adding many calories.
The second drink is vegetable juice. Whether in a can, bottled, or homemade, vegetable
juice is an excellent way to get the fiber and nutrients your body that needs to fuel your weight loss.
Vegetable juice will keep you fuller longer. It will be better, if you can find a low-sodium variety.
The third drink is unsweetened tea, like green tea, black tea, and oolong tea. Green tea has
been proven to help boost metabolism and speed up weight loss. Black and oolong teas are filled
with antioxidants, which can help rid your body of toxins.
The fourth is black coffee. It can help spur your weight loss by providing a boost of caffeine
that suppresses hunger when you drink it in the morning and afternoon. It has also been shown to
stimulate thermogenesis, which heats up the body and boosts metabolism.
The last drink is skimmed milk. Milk is an excellent source of lean protein, vitamin D, and
calcium that can help build your muscles and keep your bones strong. From the facts above, you
can maintain your weight and your health by choosing the right drinks.

piercing is done by popular singers and artists. They do that because they want to look different and
exceptional. But, tattooing for young people should be banned because tattoos can affect their

Many countries, including the U.S.A.. urge that underage youngsters should not be allowed

smoking because of peer pressure, depression, the need to lose weight, to
relax, or to fit in. For young people, they usually start to smoke to feel
better about themselves. They think that it is the only way to get through
their problems.

We need to give our full attention to employment of children because it is
one of the biggest problems that must be faced in several countries. This
problem. will be very ruinous. Many children lose their rights to have
education, leaving their joyful childhood because they have to earn a
living. Child labour damages the future generation of any country. We
should take serious action to reduce child labour.
Another bad impact of child labour is crime. High child labour
rates will increase crime rate because children will be easily drawn to bad
things, such as smoking and consuming drugs. If they don't have money,
they will commit crimes.
There are a number of ways to reduce child labour, First, we must
refuse child-produced: products. Then, we can give them a basic education
that will enable them to obtain normal jobs Governments should also make
strict trade laws which deploy strict measures against child labour. If all this is done, the whole
world could be changed a lot.
From the explanation above, we can try to reduce the amount of child labour. By doing so,
it will make the world a better place to live. It will also lessen crime and reduce world poverty.

Nowadays, many programs on TV contain violence, such as
shooting, killing, and fighting that can affect many people,
especially children. So, it is important for us to choose TV
programs wisely.
Children usually want to imitate things that they see and
they generally do not know the difference between good and bad
things. For example, a little boy suddenly says violent things after
55
he has watched TV. He doesn't know whether this word is good or not.
There are a few ways to avoid watching violence on TV. You need to have more time doing
other things than watching TV. You can communicate with your family, go outside with your
friends, take exercise, enjoy your hobbies, think about or imagine something, and so on. For parents
who have children, they should restrict and control their children's viewing of violent TV shows.
Parents must control the TV programs that their children watch.
From the explanation above, it can be concluded that TV is one part of our enjoyment of
life. But, we must choose programs carefully.

Parents have an important role in controlling and taking care of their
children. Active parents understand that parents involvement in
children's lives is the way to most ensure their children's success as
happy and independent young adults. Parents can do several things to
really get involved in their children's daily lives.
Firstly, parents should set the time and date to do something
together. It does not have to be a big event. They can simply schedule
some time to spend together. Secondly, they should praise their children for everything they do.
Praising only takes two minutes but it can make your children's whole day. Thirdly, they should
listen to their children and be interested in what they are saying. Their children will tell them about
their problems if they listen and give their opinions wisely. Fourthly, they have to set limits and
give responsibilities. Just like everyone else, children do better when they stay within their
boundaries and accept their responsibilities. Fifthly, they have to take meals together in the dining
56
room. There is something about food that gets a conversation going. They should try to have a meal
together at least 4 times a week to remain actively involved with their children. Next, they should
keep up with their children's technology. When parents send them a thank you message for
switching on the washing machine, by an email or a texting message, it puts them into their world.
Lastly, they should ask their children's opinions. They can ask about a book that their children want
to read or what television. show they are into. Your children will tell you about what they think and
they may even ask your opinion as well.
From the explanations above, parents should stay involved with their children. Parent's
involvement is very important for the children's growth.
