Contoh Ungkapan Asking for Help (Contoh Ekspresi Meminta Bantuan)

Kalau memungkinkan, kamu bisa asking for help dengan cara berikut:

1. Asking for Help dalam Situasi Formal

Dalam hal ini, formal bisa diartikan sebagai kondisi untuk meminta bantuan pada orang
yang lebih tua, orang yang lebih dihormati, atau dalam kondisi yang resmi. Misal pada

(Apakah Anda bersedia membantu saya?)
• I wonder if you could help me with this?
(Apakah bisa membantu saya?)
• I need some assistance, please.

Cara Merespon Orang yang Meminta Bantuan (Response to Someone

Asking for Help)
Kalau ada aksi, pasti ada reaksi, ceilah. Begitu juga dalam asking and offering help, guys.
Jika ada orang yang meminta bantuanmu, tentu akan muncul dua kemungkinan respon
yang bisa diberikan, yaitu menerima (accepting) atau menolak (declining/refusing). Simak
masing-masing contoh ekspresinya di bawah ini!
1. Contoh Ungkapan Accepting (Bersedia untuk Menolong)
Saat kondisinya memungkinkan, jangan ragu untuk membantu orang lain yang benar-benar
membutuhkan pertolonganmu. Tapi ingat, sesuaikan juga dengan kapasitas dan
kemampuanmu ya! Nah, berikut ungkapan yang bisa kamu sampaikan:
Formal Situation
• I will do it for you.
• Let me help you.
• Yes, I can help you.
• Yes, how can I help you?
• Yes, no problem.
Informal Situation
• I’d like to help you.
• I‘d be happy to help you.
• Sure, what can I do for you?
• Sure, I would be glad to help you.
2. Contoh Ekspresi untuk Refusing (Menolak untuk Menolong)
Kalau kamu nggak bisa membantu, it’s okay untuk menolak kok, guys. Jangan sampai kamu
takut untuk berkata “tidak” ya. Namun, usahakan untuk menolak dengan cara yang tetap
sopan dan friendly. Berikut contoh ekspresinya:
• I’m afraid I can’t do it.
• Sorry I can’t.
• Sorry, I’m busy right now.
• I’m sorry, I can’t help you now.

Pengertian Offering for Help (Expression Offering for Help)

Offering for help adalah ungkapan untuk menawarkan bantuan pada orang lain. Definisi
tersebut sesuai dengan makna dari “offering” yang berasal dari kata “offer”, artinya
“menawarkan”.
Pertanyaannya, apakah kamu selalu peka ketika ada orang di sekitar kita yang
membutuhkan bantuan? Hayo, jangan sampai pura-pura nggak tau ya! Nah, kamu bisa lo,
menawarkan bantuan sesuai dengan kondisi yang sedang dihadapi, yaitu formal atau
informal. Ini dia caranya:

1. Offering for Help dalam Situasi Formal

• Would you like some help?
(Apakah Anda membutuhkan bantuan?)
• May I help you?
(Dapatkah saya membantu Anda?)
• May I offer my assistance?
(Bolehkah saya menawarkan bantuan saya?)
• Could I help you?
(Bisakah saya membantu Anda?)
• What shall I do for you?
(Apa yang bisa saya lakukan untuk Anda?)
Contoh Kalimat Offering for Help dalam Situasi Formal
• It’s almost 5.30 p.m., but it looks like you still have a lot of tasks. May I help you?
• Mr. Jams said that you have to finish the draft of the proposal in two days, it sounds bad.
May I offer my assistance?
• I heard that you scheduled some meetings with investors this week. Would you like some
help?
2. Offering for Help dalam Situasi Informal

Cara Merespon Orang yang Menawarkan Bantuan (Response to Someone

Offering for Help)
Selayaknya asking for help, pada offering for help juga akan muncul dua jenis respon dari
lawan bicara, bisa jadi dia menerima tawaran kita, atau justru malah menolak karena
alasan tertentu. Nah, ini contoh ungkapan ekspresinya:
1. Contoh Ungkapan Accepting for Offering Help (Menerima Penawaran Bantuan dari
Orang Lain)
• How kind of you! Thank you very much.
• That’s very good of you.
• Yes, please do.
• What a good idea!
• Thanks. That would be excellent.
2. Contoh Ungkapan Refusing for Offering Help (Menolak Penawaran Bantuan dari
Orang Lain)
• No, you don’t need to.
• Don’t bother yourself, thanks.
• No, thank you.
• That’s very kind, but I can manage myself.
• That’s very kind of you, but I don’t think it’s necessary.

Persamaan antara Asking for and Offering Help

1. Secara bentuk, asking for help dan juga offering help sama-sama termasuk ke
dalam interrogative sentence dan declarative sentence yang membutuhkan respon atau
jawaban dari lawan bicara, entah itu jawabannya secara verbal maupun non verbal.
2. Keduanya menggunakan modal verb, yaitu kata kerja bantu untuk menunjukkan sebuah
“kemungkinan” atau “kemampuan” dalam kalimat bahasa Inggris. Ciri utamanya terdapat
kata can, could, will, would, shall, dsb. Lebih detailnya, kamu bisa cek artikel 11 Tipe Kata
