set dah ini lagi magang, musti ngobrol ama bule-bule. gampang sih. cuman nyuruh mereka nulis nama di satu formulir. tapi musti ngomong apa dumz?

could you write down your name, please?

nah! gampang kan?

jadi kalo pas mau nyuruh orang lain dengan sopan untuk melakukan sesuatu, kamu bisa pake

could you sign this, please?
would you open the window?
would you mind closing the window?

tapiiii, ada tapinya loh! ada pengecualian untuk menjawab kalimat would you mind. karena mind itu kan keberatan, jadi kalo ga keberatan membantu jawablah dengan kata no. bingung? pake contoh!

x. would you mind sign the receipt, please?
y. no, i would not.

sampai sini ga pusing kan? lanjut yah!

ini ibu guru kasi satu contoh percakapan yang mungkin terjadi dengan menggunakan apa yang sudah dipelajari diatas tadi.

x. good morning sir. how can i help you?
y. i need to send this.
x. certainly sir. could you write down your name here, please?
y. sure. here you go.
x. would you wait for a moment sir?

after sometimes …

x. i am sorry to keep you waiting, sir. here is the receipt. would you mind signing it?
y. no. of course not.
