LEARNING DESCRIPTION
https://www.cuemath.com/learn/parenting/intercultural-communication/
Students, in communicating with others we need some expressions to make them intensively
involve to us. When we are about to say something or give certain information, we need other
people to pay attention to us. Then, after saying something or giving certain information, we
need to know if we are understood. So we need to check other people’s understanding by using
certain expression.
Sometimes we also need or want to tell what we think about something. We may also want to
know other people’s opinion about something. To do so, we use some expressions to give and
ask opinion.
To maintain good relationship with other people, we need to give them appreciation of their
achievement, appearance, help or kindness.
Have you been familiar with the expressions of getting attention, checking understanding,
showing appreciation and asking and giving opinion?
In this chapter we will discuss about it.
Let’s learn together!

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By learning this chapter, students will be able to:
1. apply the expression of giving and asking information about the ability to do something
2. apply the expression of giving and asking information about he willingness to do something.
CONCEPT MAP
Can you dance? Can you sing? Can you play traditional instrument? If you can, will you
perform on stage when your school have a celebration?
Have you ever beeb asked such questions?. They ask whether we are able to do
something or not. They also often ask if we are willing to do something.
On the other hand, we also often tell people about our ability. Telling about our ability is
sometimes important to build our confidence. Sometimes we have plans or willingness to do
something in accordance with our capability. For example, as we can dance then we will
perform on our school anniversary’s celebration.
In this chapter we are going to discuss about how to state ability/inability and
willingness/unwillingness and also to ask people about it.
THEORITICAL REVIEW
a. Ability/ Inability
Ability means the capacity of being able to do something.
To state ability, we use modal “can/ could” or “be able”
Stating ability
“Can” is used to state ability at present.

The structure is:
Example:
The students can play traditional instrument ‘bundengan’.
Siti can cook ‘mie ongklok’.
Father and I can swim very well.
“Could” is used to state ability in the past.

The structure is:
Example:
Mother could run very fast when she was young.
The police could arrest the criminal yesterday.
“Be able to” can be used to state ability at present or in the past depending on the ‘to be’
The formula is:
Example:
The students are able to play traditional instrument ‘bundengan’.
Siti is able to cook ‘mie ongklok’.
Father and I are able to swim very well.
Mother was able to run very fast when she was young.
The police were able to arrest the criminal.
Stating inability
Example:
The students cannot play traditional instrument ‘bundengan’.
Siti cannot cook ‘mie ongklok’.
Father and I cannot swim very well.
Mother could not run very fast when she was young.
The police could not arrest the criminal yesterday.
Example:
The students are not able to play traditional instrument ‘bundengan’.
Siti is not able to cook ‘mie ongklok’.
Father and I are not able to swim very well.
Mother was not able to run very fast when she was young.
The police were not able to arrest the criminal yesterday.
Asking about ability
Example:
Can the students play traditional instrument ‘bundengan’?
Can Siti cook ‘mie ongklok’?
Could you swim very well?
In interrogative sentence, “could” is used to ask for ability politely or in formal situation.
Example:
Are the students able to play traditional instrument ‘bundengan’?
Is Siti able to cook ‘mie ongklok’.
Are youI able to swim very well.
Was mother able to run very fast when she was young.
Were the police able to arrest the criminal yesterday?
b. Willingness/ Unwillingness
Wiilingness indicates someone’s will to do something.
To state willingness, we use modal “will/ would”
“Will” is used for present while “would” is used for past. In interrogative sentence “would”
is also used to ask about willingness politely or in more formal situation.
Stating willingness
The structure is:

Examples:
I will come to your birthday party.
They would visit their teacher.
Stating unwillingness
Examples:
I will not come to your birthday party.
They would not visit their teacher.
.
Asking about willingness
Will you come to my birthday party?

Would they visit their teacher?
DIALOG EXAMPLES:

2. state rules and obligations.
CONCEPT MAP
https://widayati.com/expressions-of-obligation-necessity-contoh-ungkapan-dan-dialog-keharusan/
Has your friends ever told you about their problem? What do you do then? You may just
keep silent and become a good listener for them. Or maybe you give them advices to overcome
their problem. When the problem is really serious and you are afraid that it will give them a bad
impact, it is necessary for you to force them to do or stop doing something.
How do you express all those things? Let’s learn this chapter. It’s about expressing
obligation, prohibition and suggestion.
THEORITICAL REVIEW
a. Obligation
According to Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries, obligation is:
● the state of being forced to do something because it is your duty or because of a law
to, etc.
● something which you must do because you have promised, because of a law, etc”
To express about obligation, we use modal verb ‘must’ or ‘have to’.
Structure
Example :
We must wear a uniform every day.
You must speak louder. I can’t hear you.
Example :
I have to go to school at seven o’clock.
We have to show ID card.
To ask about obligation, use the following structure:
Example:
Must we wear a uniform everyday?
Must I speak louder?
Example:
Do I have to go to school at seven o’clock?
Do we have to show ID card?
b. Prohibition
According to Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries, prohibition is:
● the act of stopping something being done or used, especially by law
● a law or rule that stops something being done or used”
To express prohibition, we can use:
Example:
You must not borrow more than four books at a time.
We must not be late to school.
Example:
Don’t run in the corridor.
Don’t sit on the bench.
Other forms of prohibition use: “prohibited/forbidden” (dilarang) and “not allowed/ not
permitted” (tidak diijinkan/tidak diperbolehkan) followed by “to infinitive/to Verb”.
Example:
It is probihited to sleep in the morning.

c. Suggestion/Recommendation
According to Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries, suggestion is an idea or a plan that you
mention for somebody else to think about.
To ask for suggestion use the following expression:

● I have a problem. I need your advice.
● What do you suggest?
● Do you have any suggestions?
● What should I do?
● If you were me, what would you do?
● What’s your advice?
● Please tell me what to do.
To make suggestion we use modal verb ‘should’.
Example:
You should tell him what you think.
We should clean up the garden.
To ask for suggestion, put the modal verb at the beginning of the sentence:
Example:
Should I tell him what I think?
Should we clean up the garden?
To give suggestion we may also use the following expressions:
● I would like to suggest you that …

● It’s better for you to …
● My advice is …
● My suggestion is …
● If I were you, I would + verb 1
● You had better + verb 1
● Why don’t you + verb 1 … ?
● How about + verb-ing …?
● I advise you to …
● Try to …
● You ought to + verb 1
Examples:
I would like to suggest you that you take an online course.
It’s better for you to go to the dentist.
My advice is you talk to your parent.
My suggestion is you exercise regularly.
If I were you, I would go by train.
You had better go there once a week.
Why don’t you save your money?
How about having lunch at home?
I advise you to eat more vegetables.
Try to do the task yourself.
You ought to sleep early.
DIALOG EXAMPLE:
Mother : You must wash your hands before eating, dear.

Lucy : Ok, Mom.
Mother: And turn off the tap before you leave the wash basin. Don’t let the water
overflow.
Lucy : Okay, Mom. But why?
Mom : This is dry season now. Clean water is so rare.
Lucy : Yes, Mom, I read it on daily newspaper and watching it on television.
Mom : So, you cannot let water flow for nothing, while a lot of people outside are
unable to use even a small amount of it. We should help the planet to preserve
water for everyone.
Lucy : Yes Mom, I’ll always remember that.
Krisna : I think I need to improve my English. Do you have any suggestion?

Dimas : I think you should take an English course.
Krisna : I've thought about that but I'm not sure I can’t. There are no English course
nearby.
Dimas : How about taking an online course? You can learn English anytime and
anywhere.
Krisna : That sounds good. I’ll try. Thank you so much, Dimas.
Dimas : Don’t mention it.

CONCEPT MAP
https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/461872-party-invitation-illustration
Have you ever had a birthday party? How did you invite your friends to celebrate the
birthday with you? What did you say to them?
Do you know the appropriate expression to invite someone? We use the expression to
ask someone to come or join the event. We can invite our friends, or family members to come to
our birthday party.
In this chapter, we will learn about inviting, giving instruction and asking permission. Let’s
learn together.
THEORITICAL REVIEW
a. Giving Instruction/ Command and Prohibition
Instruction is the expression to give order or command to other people. It is also known
as the Imperative Form.
Giving instruction
To make instructions, we begin the sentence with a verb and end with an object, a
person or a thing.
Exampls:
Bring the books!
Open the door!
If the sentence do not use any verb, the structure will be:
Example:
Be brave!
Be polite!
Prohibition is the expression to ask someone not to do something.

To make prohibition, use the following structure:
Example:
Don’t eat my cake!
Don’t litter!
Example:
Don’t be pessimistic.
Don’t be lazy!
To make polite instructions, use the following expression:
Structure Example
Please + instructions/command Please call me later.
Please be active.
Could + you + instructions/commands Could you send this message to Mom?
Could you be patient?
Do + you + mind + V-ing + Object Do you mind passing me the salt?.
Do you mind being punctual?
Would + you + mind + V-ing + Object Would you mind reminding me to call
Sarah?
Responding to instruction
Accepting instruction Refusing instruction

Yes, Ma’am/Sir I’m afraid I can’t.
All right, Ma’am/Sir I’m sorry, but I can’t.
Sure, no problem.
Yes, sure.
OK, Ma’am/Sir.
Of course.
Example:
Father : Hi, son. What are you doing here?
Son : Mom asked me to help you painting the wall, dad.
Father : OK, good. Take the brush in the tool box!
Son : All right, Dad.
Father : Stir the paint. Be careful. Don’t spill it.
Son : Sure.
b. Inviting
What is meant by invitation here is a spoken request to somebody to do something or to

go somewhere.
Inviting
Some expressions commonly used to invite someone are:
Expression Example
Would you like to . . . Would you like to see the parade with me?
Would/Will you …. Would you go with me this afternoon?

I would like to invite you to . . . I would like to invite you to the opening of our school
bazaar.
What about …. What about spending the night at grandma’s house?
Why don’t you …. Why don’t you join our group?
Do you want to …. Do you want to accompany me to the bookstore?
Let’s …. Let’s do the discussion at my house.
Shall we …. Shall we go now?
Responding to invitation
Accepting instruction Refusing instruction
Sure. Thank you. I’m afraid I can’t.
Yes, certainly I will. I’m sorry, but I can’t.
I'd love to. Thank you. I’d love to but I’m very tired. Let’s do it tomorrow.
Yes, of course. (Put the reason of our refusal)
My pleasure.
Definitely yes.
That would be nice.
I would be delighted.
Sure, no problem.
Good idea. Let’s go.
Example:
Radit : I’m hungy.
Beni : Me too.
Radit : Let's have lunch! Would you like to have lunch with us, Raya?
Beni : Yeah, it will be fun if you can join us.
Raya : That's very kind of you both, but I have to go home soon. My mom is going to
take me to the dentist.
Radit : All right, then. Maybe you can join us next time.
Raya : Yeah. Thanks.
c. Asking and Giving Permission
When we want to do something or perhaps want to use or take other’s belonging, we

have to ask for permission.
Permission is the act of allowing somebody to do something, especially when this is
done by somebody in a position of authority.
To ask for permission, we may use one of the following expressions:
Expression Example
Would you allow me to … Would you allow me to leave the meeting?
Would you mind if I … Would you mind if I give my opinion?
Do you mind if I … Do you mind if I join you ?
Would it be all right if I … Would it be all right if I come to your house?
Is it okay if I … Is it okay if I call you very early in the morning?
May I … May I use your umbrella?
Can I … Can I have the candy?
When someone is asking for our permission, we may either give it or not.
Both should be expressed politely. It is better for us to give a reason especially when we
refuse to give permission.
Giving permission Refusing permission

Sure, I don’t mind. Sorry, I’m using it now.
Sure, you may. I’m sorry but that’s not possible.
Sure, go ahead. I’m afraid you can’t.
All right. I don’t think that’s possible.
Yes, of course. I don’t think so.
Yes please do. No, you may not.
No problem.
Please feel free.
Example:
Didi : Do you mind if I use your phone for a minute? Mine is off. I need to call my
mom.
Wawan : Sure, I don’t mind. Here is the phone.
Didi : Thanks. It will just take a minute or two.
Wawan : Take your time. No rush.
Didik : Thanks a lot, Wawan.

b. Negative: (S+ BE [is, am, are] + NOT +V-ing + C)
c. Interrogative: (BE [is, am, are] + S + V-ing + C + ?)
2. Usages
We use the present continuous to describe:
a. Actions in progress at the present moment.
b. Actions happening around now, even though not at the moment of speaking.

between other things. Each thing seems have similarities with other things. But, there must be
differences in terms of qualities. So, what kind of sentence do we use to indicate those
differences? Yes, we use degree of comparison is a form of an adjective that indicates a
different degree of the attribute the adjective denotes; the positive, comparative and superlative
forms.
THEORITICAL REVIEW
1. Learning Material
Degrees of Comparison
Comparison can be made using the three forms of the adjective. Comparison can be classified
into three degrees, they are positive, comparative and superlative.
1. The Positive Degree

This offers no comparison. It just tells us about the existence of a quality.
The formula of positive degree: as + positive + as
Example :
Mathematics exam is as easy as English

Lion is as strong as Leopard
My younger brother is as tall as I am
Your attitude is as cold as ice
2. The Comparative Degree

The comparative degree is used to compare the qualities of two persons, animals or
things. The comparative degree denotes the existence of higher degree of the quality than the
positive. This compares two things to show which has the lesser or greater degree of the quality.
For example:
The formula of comparative degree: comparative + than

Ezmple :

3. The Superlative Degree

more persons, animals and things.
The formula of superlative degree: The superlative + than

The Best Day
I'm five years old, it's getting cold; I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides
Look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
I'm 13 now and don't know how my friends could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we've found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop 'til I forgot all their names
