Contoh Soal How to Request Casually
Contoh Soal How to Request Casually - Using English in the classroom is different with using English in real life. In the classroom, there is a teacher who guides you and the materials are prepared to help you develop your English. In real life, you won`t have a conversation exactly as well-arranged as you have in your classroom. You will find people speak in different speed, accent, slang, and so on. Therefore, it is natural if you are not sure what someone is telling you. When that happens, you may ask people to repeat what they said.
In asking people to repeat what they said, you may do it casually. You can use casual English to ask your friends, families, and people who are around your age. Talking to them with formal English will be inappropriate. You may use formal to talk to people who you do not know quite well or to talk in formal settings. Using formal English to talk to your friends, families, and people who are around your age will make you sound strange.
