Contoh Soal Learning the Expressions of Blames, Accusation and Complaints
Contoh Soal Learning the Expressions of Blames, Accusation and Complaints - In this session you are going to learn three ‘discouraging’ expressions: blaming, accusing, and complaining. Why are these expressions considered as discouraging? The reason being, those expressions may cause some negative feelings to the person who experience it as well as to the person who is saying it. To begin the lesson, learn these following situations.
Have you ever feel disappointed to someone for not doing well in some important matter and fail to finish it or the results was not that satisfying? What did you do back then? Probably you would put the responsibility for that matter on him or her; you came to blame him or her.
In other situations, have you ever thought that someone probably did something bad, though you did not have any evidence to prove it? When you thought that someone has already done something unkind, illegal, or morally wrong, how did you react? Well, you most probably accused him or her for doing that.
Learning the situations, I believe you can differentiate between the expressions of blaming and accusing. The expressions of blaming are used when you claim someone to be responsible for doing something wrong.
For example:
Anwar : So, who was late submitting the paper?
Bobi : it was me.
Anwar : It is all because of you Mr. Johan did not want to receive all of our papers. Because of your tardiness he rejected any other student’s paper.
Bobi : I am sorry, I couldn’t help it. I forgot the submission date.
Anwar : Oh my God, I can’t believe that you did this to us.
Bobi : it was me.
Anwar : It is all because of you Mr. Johan did not want to receive all of our papers. Because of your tardiness he rejected any other student’s paper.
Bobi : I am sorry, I couldn’t help it. I forgot the submission date.
Anwar : Oh my God, I can’t believe that you did this to us.
Could you recognize the situation in dialog above? Yes, Anwar blames Bobi for being late in submitting paper that causes their teacher rejected all of students’ works. Look at the bold italic clauses; those express blaming.
