There are some expressions used in introducing our self in formal way:
-

Facial Expressions
People watch a speaker's face during a presentation. When you speak, your face-more
clearly than any other part of your body-communicates to others your attitudes, feelings,
and emotions

-

Walking Patterns
Why move in the first place? Moving forces people to focus and follow you. The way
you walk from your seat to the speaker's position is very important. When you are
introduced, you should appear eager to speak. Too many speakers look as though they are
heading toward execution.

-

Eye Contact
Eye contact is the cement that binds together speakers and their audiences. When you
speak, your eyes involve your listeners in your speaking.

-

Build Self-confidence by Being Yourself
Self confidence is important to help yourself speak comfortably and interactively. You do
not need to copy others in the way to speak because being the way you are makes you
speak naturally

-

Focus your audience's attention.
Speakers must have an “attention grabber” to interest the audience—a joke, astonishing
fact, or anecdote. (Rhetorical questions like “Haven’t you ever wondered how…” are
notoriously ineffective.) The introduction is the place where the main claim or idea
should be stated very clearly to give the audience a sense of the purpose of the speech

-

Establish goodwill and credibility.
Many people believe the most important part of persuasion was ethos, or the character the
speaker exhibited to the audience. The audience needs to see the speaker as someone to
listen to attentively and sympathetically.

-

Give a preview.
Mentioning the main points to be covered in the body prepares the audience to listen for
them

Everybody surely have the one that he or she loves, the one that get a very special place

Yes, I had that one also. We were accidently met one day. It was my friend, who introduced him
to me. I had no interest at that time, but it seemed written in my destiny, then without a particular
reason, I agreed to exchange my phone number with him. We got to know each other for about 2
months until finally we both felt comfortable and decided to have a date.
There it came one day when we went on our first date. We had a dinner in the favourite
place in town. It was the first time for us to see each other, and then I realized that he was better
than I thought. We were terribly nervous, but as the time went by, we both could overcome our
nervousness. We talked about many things. Our activities in college, our interest in sport or
education, even we both teased to each other. The atmosphere was so natural in which both of us
could tell things freely without trying to hide anything. We enjoyed our dinner for about 2 hours
and decided to go home since it was already night. Some moments before I left, he asked me
whether we could have another dinner next time. I nod softly while silently speak in my heart,
that there would be no other dinner for us but we would have so many dinners later on.

Complete List of Simple Past Forms
USE 1 Completed Action in the Past

Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific
time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do
have one specific time in mind.
Examples:


I saw a movie yesterday.



I didn't see a play yesterday.



Last year, I traveled to Japan.



Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.



Did you have dinner last night?



She washed her car.



He didn't wash his car.

USE 2 A Series of Completed Actions

We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st,
2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.

Examples:


I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.



He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at
10:00.



Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then add the eggs?

USE 3 Duration in Past

The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration
is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day,
all year, etc.
Examples:


I lived in Brazil for two years.



Shauna studied Japanese for five years.



They sat at the beach all day.



They did not stay at the party the entire time.



We talked on the phone for thirty minutes.



A: How long did you wait for them?
B: We waited for one hour.

USE 4 Habits in the Past

The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can
have the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often
add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I was younger,
etc.
Examples:


I studied French when I was a child.



He played the violin.



He didn't play the piano.



Did you play a musical instrument when you were a kid?



She worked at the movie theater after school.



They never went to school, they always skipped class.

USE 5 Past Facts or Generalizations

The Simple Past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no
longer true. As in USE 4 above, this use of the Simple Past is quite similar to the expression
"used to."
Examples:


She was shy as a child, but now she is very outgoing.



He didn't like tomatoes before.



Did you live in Texas when you were a kid?



People paid much more to make cell phone calls in the past.

was I have not say thanks to him yet”

friends as the lifeguard in Kuta. I think it is not a big matter to find him, do you
still remember how he looks like?”

Activity 2. Reading
If you live for any period of time in the UK, you'll probably want to open a bank
account to save money. There are two main types of accounts: a current account and a savings
account.
You can use a current account for your day-to-day banking needs. Your bank might give
you a checkbook, which allows you to write check to pay for goods and services. You'll
probably also have a bank card (ATM) which allows you to withdraw cash from cash
machines (also known as atm or "hole in the wall" machines) and to pay for goods in shops. You
get a secret pin number (personal identification number) that you use when you withdraw cash.

If you receive a check, you can pay it in or deposit it at your bank. You can also pay in
cash (money). If you want to convert your cheque into cash, you can cash the check. Some
companies can also pay money into your account via a direct bank transfer.
A savings account should pay you interest. Most banks give you a different rate of
interest depending on how much you are saving, and how much notice you give before
withdrawing money. However, when you lend money from the bank, then the bank gives you a
loan, you need to pay interest to the bank.
In the UK, people traditionally use banks for a range of services. As well as an overdraft
facility (where you borrow money from the bank), people also get a mortgage (loan to buy a
house), personal loan, and insurance from their banks. High street banks (the sort of banks
which you can find on any high street) are also good places to change money.
Many banks now offer telephone banking and internet banking. This means that you
can manage your finances without going to the local branch (office) of your bank.

LESSON 2
Dealing Complaints
Complaints are never a happy occasion, particularly if you are trying to keep a client or
customer happy AND you are struggling with the language. It is important to remember that
responding to a complaint always has FOUR parts:
Apologize for the problem - no matter if you created it or not - no matter whether the issue
is true or not. What you are apologizing for is the fact that a customer is unhappy. That's
not good for business.
Ask for the specifics of the problem - what happened or what went wrong.
Say that you will take action [and take it!], and
Check back with the customer later to make sure the problem was resolved to their
satisfaction.
Review the three parts of responses below:
1. Apologizing:
I'm sorry . . .
I'm sorry to hear that . . .
I apologize . . .
I apologize for the problem . . .
I apologize for the inconvenience . . .
My apologies . . .
2. Ask for Specifics
Please tell me exactly what the problem is
Please tell me exactly what happened
3. Take Action
I will send someone to take care of it
We will send the correct order tomorrow
Let me check with the shippers and see what happened
I don't know what happened, but I will get back with you later today
Let me straighten this out and I will get back to you today with the
solution.

4. Check back - after the situation has been corrected
Ms. Chen, did everything work out to your satisfaction?
Mr. Wozniak, I wanted to see if the problem has been resolved to your
satisfaction.
Did everything work out okay?
Did you get what you needed/wanted?
Practice the two dialogs below with a partner. Be sure to exchange roles so that are both the
person with a complaint and the person responding to the complaint.

WRONG PIN NUMBER
•

A: Hello ma’am, may I help you?

•

B: Yes, I want to take out some money. But why the ATM does not
connect?

•

A: Iam sorry! Can you tell me exactly what the problem is and
what you got?

•

B: Yes, I have clicked the right pin number, but it is said unmatch on
screen!

•

A: I'm very sorry, let me check and see if you have the incorrect pin here
right now and if you do, I can confirm you for the right pin
number. Would that be okay?

•

B: Yes, please . . . .

•

A: Hello ma’am, the problem is that, you click the incorrect pin
number. I’ll give you a correct one, because you have change your pin a

THE DIGITAL AGE
We are now living in what some people call the digital age. It means that
computers have become an essential part of our lives. Young people who have
grown up with PCs and mobile phones are often called the digital generation.
Computers help students to perform mathematical operations and improve
their math skill. They are used to access the internet, and to do basic
research, and to communicate with other students around the world. Teacher
use projectors and interactive whiteboards to give presentations and teach
sciences, history or language courses. PCs are also used for administrative
purposes, school use word processors to write letters, and databases to keep
records of students and teachers. A school website allows teacher to publish
exercises for students to complete online task. Students can also enrol for
courses via the website and parents can download official report.
Mobiles let you make voice calls, send texts, email people and download
logos, ringtones or games. With a built-in camera, you can send pictures and
make video calls in face-to-face mode. New Smartphone combine a telephone

In Banks, computers store information about the money held by each
customer and enable staff to access large databases and to carry out financial
transactions at high speed. They also control the cash points, or ATM
(automatic tell machines), which dispense money to customers by the use of a
PIN-protected card. People use a chip and PIN card to pay for goods and
services. Instead of using a signature to verify payments, customers are asked
to enter four digits PIN, the same number used at cash point. This system
makes transactions more secure. With online banking, clients can easily pay bills
and transfer money from the comfort of their homes.
Airline pilots use computers to help them control the plane. For example,
monitor display data about fuel consumption and weather conditions. In airport
control tower, computers are used to manage radar system and regulate air
traffic.

other stuff. Additionally, in this multimedia era, students need more to reach their
progressive

development.

Students need

mobile keyboards to

presented subject easily. Of course it will need more cost but it will deserve for
its function.
First, modern schools tend to apply fast transferring knowledge because the
school needs to catch the target of curriculum. Every subject will tend to be given

Model Exposure
Village Life vs. City Life
Life in village and city is marked by lots of differences. The village life is simple and not
endowed with so many career opportunities and enjoyments. There are no universities or
colleges to study and parents in turn, send kids for further study to cities.
City life, as it appears or taken for, is full of fun and a bubbling platform of growth
opportunities. Living in city has its own advantages. City life gives you ample facilities to ease
the lifestyle. There are universities, hospitals with cutting edge technology and treatments,
discos, bars, multiplexes, banks, auditoriums, golf courses, clubs, hostels and stadiums. Villagers
need to come to cities for treatment to hospitals and bank sometimes even for simplest of
transactions.
However, on the other hand, there are some striking differences too that would make
village life-a life worth living for. For instance, just glance around and you will find that most of
city people do not have even time to stop by and enjoy the facilities that city life has given them.
They are rushing around. Most of them are unfriendly and won’t even stop to tell an address or
guide someone. The increasing numbers of factories, industries and mills have amplified the

pollutions in cities and everyday city dwellers have to win the battles with noise, visual and air
pollutions.
On the contrary, village life is without any pollution and calm. No wonder that most of
individuals want to return to their roots after retirement and enjoy the simplified and beautiful
village life. The people living village life are friendly and warm-hearted. They are pleasant and
very helpful.
