Expressing an Invitation

Invitation is one word that we often hear in social in everyday. Eventhough, so many people didn't know the meaning of "Invitation", the purpose, and generic structure of invitation in english. so this is the "Expression of Invitation" learning.

The Meaning of Invitation

According to Oxford Learner's Dictionary interpret "invitation" as follows: "a spoken or written request to somebody to do something or to go somewhere"

So "invitation" is a request of spoken or written way to someone to do something or go somewhere.

while According to vocabulary.com, invitation is: "An invitation is a request, a solicitation, or an attempt to get another person to join you at a specific event."

Generic Structure

In general, each invitation has its own uniqueness but overall it can be underscored that the invitation text will be written with the following structure:

1. Invitee: Who is invited

2. Body of invitation: The contents of invitations are usually the following:

·         Occasion: This invitation was created for what event

·         Day or Date: Day and date

·         Time: Time set

·         Place: The place where the invited guests are expected to attend

3. Inviter: Who invites

As I have said, the rules on it are generally how the letter is in English. We can change it according to our creativity and ability.

CONTOH :

Long time ago in the island of Java, Indonesia, lived a couple of farmer. They had married for some years but they had no children. So they prayed to a monster called Buta Ijo to give them children. Buta Ijo was a ferocious and powerful monster. He granted their wish on one condition. When their children had grown up, they had to sacrifice them to Buta Ijo. He liked eating fresh meat of human being. The farmers agreed to his condition. Several months later the wife was pregnant.

She gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. They named her Timun Emas. The farmers were happy. Timun Emas was very healthy and a very smart girl. She was also very diligent. When she was a teenager Buta Ijo came to their house. Timun Emas was frightened so she ran away to hide. The farmers then told Buta Ijo that Timun Emas was still a child. They asked him to postpone. Buta Ijo agreed. He promised to come again. The following year Buta Ijo came again. But again and again their parents said that Timun Emas was still a child.

 When the third time Buta Ijo came their parents had prepared something for him. They gave Timun Emas several bamboo needles, seeds of cucumber, dressing and salt.

‘Timun, take these things’

‘What are these things?’

‘These are your weapons. Buta Ijo will chase you. He will eat you alive. So run as fast as you can. And if he will catch you spread this to the ground. Now go!’

Timun Emas was scared so she ran as quickly as she could. When Buta Ijo arrived she was far from home. He was very angry when he realized that his prey had left. So he ran to chase her. He had a sharp nose so he knew what direction his prey ran.

Timun Emas was just a girl while Buta Ijo was a monster so he could easily catch her up. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas quickly spread the seeds of cucumber. In seconds they turned into many vines of cucumber. The exhausted Buta Ijo was very thirsty so he grabbed and ate them. When Buta Ijo was busy eating cucumber Timun Emas could run away.

But soon Buta Ijo realized and started running again. When he was just several steps behind Timun Emas threw her bamboo needles. Soon they turned into dense bamboo trees. Buta Ijo found it hard to pass. It took him some time to break the dense bamboo forest. Meanwhile Timun Emas could run farther.

Buta Ijo chased her again. When he almost catch her again and again Timun Emas threw her dressing. This time it turned into a lake. Buta Ijo was busy to save himself so Timun Emas ran way. But Buta Ijo could overcome it and continued chasing her.

Finally when Timun Emas was almost caught she threw her salt. Soon the land where Buta Ijo stood turned into ocean. Buta Ijo was drowned and died instantly. Timun Emas was thankful to god and came back to her home.
