CULTURAL AWARENESS ON PAGE 8. PATHWAY TO ENGLISH
When you introduce yourself to others, what do you usually tell them about
yourself? The first thing will commonly do is telling your name, your complete
name; the first name and the last name/surname/family name. Then you will tell
people your nickname, the way you want someone to call you.
E.g. Hello, my name is Ronald Jefferson/ Everybody calls me Ron.
In English, we use a full name or a family name. use a full name, first name
or short name (nickname) without a title.
“I’m Ronald Jefferson.” Not “I’m Jefferson”/ “I’m Ronald.” (or “I’m Ron”)
“Hello, Mrs. Jefferson.” (not “Hello, Mrs. Susan.” or “Hello Mrs. Sue”)
“Hello, Miss. Jefferson. Hello, Jefferson.”
In Indonesia, people tend to address a person by using the first name. this may
happen because most Indonesian do not have family names. Therefore, Indonesian
people rarely call a person by their first names.

English Indonesia
A: Hello, my name is David Hasselhoff. A : Hmm... nama saya Rudi
B: Oh, hello Mr. Hasselhoff. Nice to Wijanarko
meet you. B : Oh, halo, Pak Rudi. Apa kabar?
A: Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Miller. A: Kabar baik.
B: Just call me David, and what should I B: Kapan tiba di Jakarta?
call you, Mrs. Miller? A: Tadi pagi dengan pesawat
A: You can call me Sue. pertama.

If you want to address Indonesian people in English, then you should follow the
rules of English vocative.

English
A: My name is Rudi Wijanarko.
B: Oh, hello, Mr.Rudi. How are you?
A: I’m fine, thanks.
B: What about you, Mr.Budi?
A: I’m fine too, thanks.

Text 1: an email from Hannah
Hello, Alia! Let me introduce myself. My name is Hannah.
I know your name from my friend, Caroline. She told me that you sent her an
email telling her that you would like to have more pen pals from the US. I’d really
like to be your E-pal. You sound really cool!
I guess I’d better tell you something about myself first. I’m 16 years old and I
attend Thomas Edison High School here in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
I have two brothers and two half sisters and I’m the middle child. My father died
a few years ago so my mother runs the house and the family business. My father
was a barista. I have lots of hobbies. I like music – mostly classical music and folk
music – but I don’t play an instrument. I like sports, especially tennis and
basketball. At school, I’m in the basketball team and I spend most of my extra-
curricular time playing basketball. I’m into animals very much. My sister and I
have three dogs. They need lots of attention as you can imagine. My favorite
subjects at school are art and geography. I think I’d like to become a park ranger
when I graduate, perhaps work for the National Parks Service.
I don’t like reading but I love drawing and painting. How about you? Please drop
me a line, Alia! Can’t wait to hear from you!
Hannah

Text 2: a letter from Saidah

Assalamu’alaikum Alia,
It was very interesting to read your letter about yourself and your hometown. I
would really like to be your pen friend.
I’m a sixteen-year-old school student from Johor Bahru in Malaysia. Actually, I
attend an Islamic boarding school just outside the city but my family lives in
Kuala Lumpur. My eldest sister is a medical doctor. My younger brother is an
elementary school student.
My favorite subjects are social sciences. I like history very much; it helps me to
know more about how different countries existed in the past. At school we are
supposed to use English at all times, so we have become quite fluent although
sometimes we slip back into Malay, which is our mother tongue.

7
As for hobbies, I’m really into songs and music. My favorite boy band is One
Direction. My favorite Malay singer is, of course, Siti Nurhaliza. I also like
watching movies, especially comedies. The actor I like best is Tom Cruise.
I’m really into books. I like reading novels and short stories. I like some writers in
English, like JK Rowling, and Indonesian writers too, like Andrea Hirata and
Ahmad Fuadi. My dream, when I’m older, is to be a writer of science fiction
books.
I’d really love to come to Indonesia someday, especially to the magnificent Raja
Ampat in Papua. What about you, do you want to visit my country?
Wassalam.
Cheers,
Saidah

 Compliments express approval, admiration or respect/
 Compliments can be a piece of paper printed with the name and address of a
company which is sent with a parcel in place of a letter.
 Compliments are used to sustain good relationship among teachers, students
and others.

Giving Compliments
Giving compliments is very common in all cultures. However, it differs in some ways from
culture to culture. In English, people tend to express compliments more than we do in our culture.
We tend to express them to ourselves rather than to the people we are interested in. If we see one
of our friends wearing a new dress, most of us tend to be quiet about it and say to ourselves that
she has a beautiful dress, rather than expressing our feelings to her. But in English, it seems that
we have to say something about her new dress.
E.g. you look pretty in your new dress.
I like the color of your new dress.
Your dress matches your complexion very nicely.
It also differs in how we respond to compliments. In Indonesian, in many cases, we seem
to refuse a compliment by saying, “Tidak! Baju ini sudah lama.” For that reason, when we speak
in English we tend to disagree and say, ”No! It’s an old dress. I bought it last year.” This doesn’t
sound correct in English. You should have said, “Thank you. I like it very much. I particularly
like its color and style.”
In English one tends to accept a compliment, particularly if it is a sincere one, by saying “Thank
you” plus one or two other statements supporting it.

13
In responding to a compliment, Indonesian speakers tend to make errors in at least two ways.
First, we tend to be quiet. Secondly, we do not make any comments. Third, we tend to dispute it
with “NO”, plus a few statements disagreeing with him/her.

Here are some examples : The better ones :

A : What a beautiful garden you have !
B : No, it’s actually a mess. I haven’t got
enough time to look after it.
A : It’s really delicious. You are a real cook.
B : No, it’s rather tasteless. I’m still learning
how to cook.
A : Your English is excellent. Where did you
learn it?
B : No, I still have a lot of difficulties with my
grammar and pronunciation.
A : What a beautiful garden you have!
B : Thank you. I like gardening very much
and I spend a lot of time looking after it.
A : It’s really delicious. You are a real cook.
B : Thank you. I spent the whole afternoon
preparing all of these. I tried to do my best,
of course.
A : Your English is excellent. Where did you
learn it?
B : Thank you. Once I went to Australia and
stayed there for 2 years.

Does it mean that English people never refuse a compliment? No, if the compliment is not
sincere, he will reject it as well. For example, he might say :
Don’t try to flatter me.
I don’t like flatters.
You’re just flattering me.
Flattery will get you nowhere.
So we need to be able to judge whether our friend is sincere or not in giving his
compliment. We can do it through our experience in getting used to him for overtime. We can
also judge whether what he says includes some solid facts. When he says that we have a beautiful
garden but in fact, our garden is really not that good, he is certainly very dubious about our garden
and he is not very sincere about his compliment.
