SURPRISES AND DISBELIEFS

I will give you a illustration...

In a reality show of a TV station called “MINTA TOLONGGGG” (sure you know it), a poor woman already helped a child that sell something. After she did it, an unknown person came to her and gave her a lot of money. Sure! she got a very “surprise!!!!!!” and said something kind of  “disbeliefs” .

Yeahhh kind of like this ..

 

·        Surprise or disbeliefs is an expression that we show/say when know/hear/see something that rather difficult to believe.

To express surprise or disbelief:

·         What a surprise! That’s a surprise!

·         (Well), that’s very surprising!

·         Really?

·         What?

·         Are you serious? You must be joking!

·         You’re kidding!

·         Fancy that!

·         I must say … surprises me.

·         I find that hard to believe.

·         Example : 
Dina : " Look! I got! "
Lia   : " That`s very surprising "
Dina : " I don`t know why "
Lia   : " Perhaps you did the wrong number "

·         When get a surprising fact, you can say those to tell other people :
Do you know what ?
Believe it or not ?
You may not believe it, but ...
Can you believe it ?

You can respond to the surprising fact using these expressions:

·       Really?

·       Are you joking?

·       Oh?

·       Where? Show me.

·         There are some ways to express surprise :
Never !
Oh, no!
No, is, i don`t believe it !
You`re kidding
What a surprise
Good heavens
My goodness

·         Don’t mention it

·         It’s a pleasure / My pleasure

To response of gratitude you can say  :

·         You’re welcome.

·          No big deal / No problem.

·         That’s fine / My pleasure.

·         Not at all / Never mind.

Second.

What do you do if you want to make someone happy of you. Or if you wan to get something from your parents? Yups! You give them a compliment, right??

·         Compliment is an expression that we show or say to express/give praise. Some people use compliments to “butter up” somebody or to flatter in order to increase good will.

You  can give compliment to someone at this following condition:

·   on his/her general appearance

·   if you notice something new about the person’s appearance

·   when you visit someone’s house for the first time

The way of Complimenting:

·         You look very nice/beautiful/handsome.

·         I really must express my admiration for your dance.

·         Good grades!

·         Excellent!

To response them you can use such as a “gratitude” as follow:

·         Thank you.

·         I will.

·         Thanks a lot. Etc.

Third.

You can say “congratulation” to your friend after he/she got success of something. Or you may get a lot of “congratulation” at your birthday.

·         Congratulation is an expression that we use to give the congratulation utterance when he/she succeeds in doing something.

Congratulating
