Hai everyone, bagaimana kabar kalian? I hope you all well. Tema yang pertama kali di pelajari dalam pelajaran bahasa Inggris kelas 7 yaitu Greetings atau menyapa. Kenapa yang kita pelajari pertama kali ada Greetings? Karena saat kamu bertemu temanmu di sekolah atau di tempat lain, hal apa yang kamu lakukan? Menyapa bukan?
Biasanya kita awali dengan memberi salam dan menanyakan kabar, kan? Memberi salam adalah hal yang biasa yang dilakukan dalam kegiatan sehari-hari. Contohnya seperti: Selamat pagi. Apa kabarmu? dan yang lainnya.
Nah sekarang kita akan mencoba menggunakannya dalam bahasa Inggris.
Greetings dibagi menjadi dua macam. Ada yang dalam bentuk formal dan ada pula yang informal. Contoh greetings dalam bentuk formal adalah seperti: Good morning, Good night, Good afternoon, dan lainnya. Sedangkan informal greetings contohnya seperti: Hi, Hello, How are you?, How is life? dan lain-lain. Dibawah ini adalah beberapa contoh greetings expression beserta dengan responnya.
