This is a summary of business communication mid-test.. Let's enjoy it!
LANGUAGE STYLE
Three main language styles:
1. Formal >> official, legal, semi-professional
We can use formal when we don’t know anything about the person who receives letter. (Dear sir or madam)
We can also use formal when we know title or name of person. Never met or exchanged info. (Dear sir,)
2. Semi Formal >> semi-professional, semi-friendly
The Semi Formal is used when we know name of person and have exchanged greetings.
3. Informal >> friendly, slang, vulgar
It's cool to use informal when we know person well and on familiar terms.
Different Syles between Informal and Formal English
1. Active and Passive Voice
Informal >> Our technician repaired the fault on 12th June. Now it’s your turn to pay us
Formal >> Although the fault was repaired on 12th June,payment for this intervention has still not been
received.
2. Verb Form: Phrasal Verbs & Latinate
Informal >> The company laid him off because he didn't work much.
Formal >> His insufficient production conducted to his dismissal.
3. Language: Direct & Formulaic
Informal >> I’m sorry but …
I’m happy to say that …
Formal >> We regret to inform you that …
We have pleasure in announcing that …
4. Use of Slang
Informal >> He had to get some money out of a hole in the wall …
Formal >> He withdrew the amount from an ATM.
5. Personal Form & Nominators
Informal >> If you lose it, then please contact us as soon as possible.
Formal >> Any loss of this document should be reported immediately …
6. Linking Word
Informal >> The bank can’t find the payment you say you’ve made.
Formal >> Notwithstanding that the payment has been sent the bank fails to acknowledge it.

Hollaa..Halloooo..It's my third blog post.. Yeiii!! :)
The theme of this saturday gloomy night is about BUSINESS COMMUNICATION.. JRengg.. JRengg!!
Business Communication seems to almost be one of my favourite subjects in this semester.. *almost* :p
First of all, I would like to introduce my lecturer.. His name is Ichwan Setiadi.. Before he teached us about the sequence of Business Communication last week, he slapped his students' mind one by one with his question. Here are these shocking questions:
"How can you communicate each other in this social era if you don't start blogging from now?".
"Will you just be proud of your diploma?"or "Can you just sell yourself with it?"
"Will you just want to find the job without any skills?"
"Of course, NOT!"
"YOU are the one who should make a JOB"
Yeahh.. These questions have been slapping me up and down until this night. I realize that we should have written communication skills. It's not difficult actually. I just try to write and explore my mind about what happen around me. It's just turning the palm of my hand! :p *smug*
On the last session, my lecturer talked about the Business Communication Skills. Then he told us to answer the question about the meaning of "effective communication". According to the Arab British Academy of Higher Education, "the communication is defined as the process of conveying or transmitting a message from one person to another through a proper channel. For communication to be more effective there should be Common Background and Purpose, Interest and Cooperation between sender and receiver. We can communicate effectively if there are response and feedback." Quoted from www.abahe.co.uk
That's all about my sharing knowledge about Business Communication. Thank you, Sir! See you later! :)

People often say about "Kisi-Kisi".. What does it mean? It's like a latticework about something..
And "Kisi-Kisi Hidupnya Kishi" is a latticework about my life.. :)
Why the title should be "Kisi-Kisi Hidupnya Kishi"? Why do I prefer to use Bahasa in my title? Because I was born in Indonesia, live in Indonesia and get through my life in Indonesia. So, I will proudly expose my national language in my blog's title to show that I'm proud to be an Indonesian, but why do I use English in my writing? Because I'm English Department student who should improve my language skill now. I have to become a multi-talented girl with multi-language skills.
Actually, from the deepest of my heart, I have had a desire to create a blog. Unfortunately, most people tend to be lazy to start something from scratch, so do I. In my foolish imagination, I think it's so complicated to create it, it will waste my time, it's hard, it's disturbing, it's bla bli blu ble blo...-.-' I just see and read other people's blog without having an action to create it by myself. Now, I think I'm wrong. Creating a blog is easy, it's interesting, it's useful, it's simple and it's FREE! :)) Besides, I'm also inspired by my lecture from Business Communication class at Binus University. He said that if an employee wants to develop, he should have a SKILL. One of skills is WRITING. By writing skill, we can communicate each other in this social network. Written communication is important. Being a blogger is one way to implement our written communication skills. Thank you Sir. :) You've pumped my desire abundantly!
This is the origin of my blog, how bout u? :p
