Di episode ini, aku praktikin gimana memperkenalkan diri secara kasual ya.
Aku bakal coba buat konsisten make bahasa yang biasa aku pake sama temen-temen aku ataupun di tempet kerja pas konteksnya nggak formal. Jadi, ejaan yang aku pake pun juga nggak sesuai dengan KBBI ya.

Kenalan

BOB: We’d like two tickets for the 3:30
show, please.
TICKET SALES: Here you go. Enjoy the movie!
[Inside the theater]
BOB: Would you mind moving over one,
so my friend and I can sit together?
WOMAN: No, not at all.
BOB: Thanks a lot!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• The 3:30 show Movies are shown at different times throughout the day. This refers to 
the movie that starts at 3:30. Notice the emphasis on 3:30.
• Enjoy the movie! Notice how the intonation rises on movie. This is said in a friendly 
way, and is followed by an exclamation point.
• Would you mind is a polite way to ask “Can you do something for me?” Notice the 
verb ends in “-ing.” Compare this structure to “Would you mind if I” plus a verb that 
ends in “-ed” (Would you mind if I opened the window?).
• Moving over one Here “one” is short for “one seat.”
• No, not at all is a way of saying “No, I don’t mind” or “I will be glad to.” Notice the 
answer to “Would you mind” is in the negative form.

In a simple word, the vowel is pronounced with a short sound. If we want to pronounce a word with a long vowel sound, we write the letter "e" at the end of the word.
