Tips Mengerjakan Soal Invitation

Saat menemukan soal invitation, jangan langsung panik. Ada beberapa hal yang bisa diperhatikan.

Pertama, lihat siapa yang mengundang dan kepada siapa undangan ditujukan. Dari situ biasanya ketahuan tujuan teks.

Kedua, perhatikan waktu dan tempat. Soal sering menanyakan detail ini. Kalau tidak teliti, bisa tertukar antara tanggal acara dan tanggal konfirmasi.

Ketiga, kenali ciri kebahasaan invitation. Biasanya memakai kata would like to, please, hope, confirm, dan attend. Kalau menemukan kata-kata itu, besar kemungkinan teksnya invitation.

Keempat, latihan membedakan invitation dengan announcement. Announcement biasanya untuk umum dan tidak meminta balasan. Invitation biasanya personal dan mengharapkan konfirmasi.

Rajin berlatih soal seperti ini akan membuat kamu lebih cepat mengenali pola. Semakin sering, semakin mudah. Selamat belajar, dan semoga nilainya memuaskan.
