Proyek Akhir: Buat Pengumumanmu Sendiri
Bayangkan Anda kehilangan jam tangan di taman kota pada hari Minggu. Tulis pengumuman dalam bahasa Inggris (minimal 40 kata). Gunakan struktur: Title, Item, Description, When/Where, Contact.
Contoh jawaban (jika Anda latihan):
LOST: Silver Watch with Brown Strap
I lost my silver watch on Sunday afternoon at City Park, near the playground. The watch has a brown leather strap and a small scratch on the glass. It is very special to me because it was a gift from my father.
If you find it, please contact me at 0822-3333-4444. Thank you so much!
Pengumuman kehilangan dalam bahasa Inggris harus singkat, jelas, dan spesifik. Sebutkan barang, warna, merek, dan ciri khas. Tulis kapan dan di mana terakhir kali terlihat. Berikan kontak yang bisa dihubungi. Jika perlu, sebutkan hadiah. Gunakan kata LOST atau MISSING di judul agar mudah dikenali. Tulis dengan sopan dan jangan lupa ucapkan terima kasih.
Kehilangan barang memang stres. Tapi pengumuman yang jelas dan spesifik meningkatkan peluang barang Anda kembali. Jangan lupa: deskripsi yang detail lebih baik daripada “dompet hitam” saja. Sebutkan isinya, ciri khasnya, dan waktu kejadian.
Sekarang buka catatan. Bayangkan Anda kehilangan sesuatu. Tulis pengumumannya. Simpan di ponsel Anda—siapa tahu suatu saat Anda benar-benar membutuhkannya di perjalanan ke luar negeri.
