B. Uraian Materi

Pay close attention to the personal letter below .

@2020, Direktorat SMA, Direktorat Jenderal PAUD, DIKDAS dan DIKMEN 8

Modul Bahasa Inggris. Kelas XI. KD 3.6/4.6

Pengertian
Surat dalam bahasa Inggris disebut dengan letter. Personal Letter ( Surat Pribadi )
merupakan surat tidak resmi yang ditulis untuk perseorangan. Biasanya, yang terlibat
adalah dua orang yang saling mengenal dengan baik. Namun, mari kita telusuri lagi lebih
dalam tentang pengertian personal letter ini.
Dikutip dari buku Bahasa Inggris Kelas XI Semester 2 disebutkan bahwa :
Personal letters are letters you write to people you have already known well or been familar
with, such as family members, friends, classmates or pen friends.
Jadi, kalian bisa menulis surat pribadi untuk orangtua, kakak atau adik, teman akrab,
sahabat yang pernah tinggal di dekat kalian, dan lain-lain.

Struktur dari Personal Letter

• Date (Tanggal) = Biasanya tanggal ini ditulis pada kiri paling atas. Tanggal ini
menunjukkan kapan waktu surat ditulis.
Misalnya: 12th January 2014

• Address (Alamat) = Bagian ini adalah tempat dimana kamu menulis surat atau
alamat asal si pengirim tinggal. Alamat ditulis pada bagian kanan atas.
Misal: 35 Senggigi Raya Lombok 75009 Nusa Tenggara Timur

• Salutation & Name (Salam & Nama) = Bagian ini menuliskan salam pembuka dan
nama penerima surat.
Misalnya: My Dear Lovely Siti, Dear..., Dearest..., Sweetheart, Darling, My love, dan
lain-lain.

• Introduction (Pembukaan) = Biasanya dimulai dengan sebuah kalimat seperti
tanggapan dari surat sebelumnya atau bisa juga awal perkenalan diri jika kalian
baru memulai surat-menyurat.

• Body (Isi Surat) = Bagian ini merupakan isi atau inti dari surat. Pada bagian body
ini kalian menceritakan seluruh isi surat yang ingin kalian tuliskan.

• Closure (Penutup) = Bagian ini berfungsi untuk menutup pembicaraan, yang
menunjukan bahwa surat akan segera berakhir.

• Complimentary Close (Salam Penutup) = Bagian ini merupakan ungkapan
penutup pendek.
Misalnya: With love, Sincerely yours, dan lain-lain.

• Signature (Tanda Tangan) = Bagian ini berada di bawah complementary close,
kalian bisa membubuhkan kalian tangan atau bisa juga hanya inisial nama kalian
saja.

C. Rangkuman

Personal Letter digunakan untuk menjalin hubungan dengan orang lain melalui tulisan.
Sekarang ini, dengan kemajuan zaman, hubungan surat menyurat sudah jarang
digunakan dalam berkomunikasi karena sudah tergantikan oleh alat komunikasi yang
lebih cepat dan canggih. Penggunaan surat masih banyak digunakan di daerah yang
belum banyak menggunakan alat komunikasi elektronik.
Struktur sebuah surat pribadi meliputi: tempat dan tanggal surat dibuat, alamat, salam
dan nama, pembukaan, isi, penutup, salam penutup dan tanda tangan.
Unsur kebahasaan yang kalian pelajari meliputi ungkapan keakraban yang lazim
digunakan dalam surat pribadi, nomina singular dan plural dengan atau tanpa a, the,
this, those, my, their, dsb., serta ucapan, tekanan kata, intonasi, ejaan, tanda baca, dan

Intan, sorry I haven’t written to you for so long. We moved into a new
apartment last month and we’ve been really busy getting settled.
It’s a nice apartment. It is bigger than our old one. It’s big so there are a lot of
rooms to work in. It has a big living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Another thing I like is the kitchen.
The apartment is on a quiet street in a good neighborhood. There’s also a
shopping centre just down the street with a supermarket, some quite good

We really enjoy living here. Do come over and have a look next time you are in

Dear Susan,

It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. I know it’s only been
several weeks since I saw you. So far my summer has been great!
I spend my all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan and you can
no longer say I am paler than you. I have been playing lots of volleyball, surfing
and building a nice collection of sea shells. Just this past week-end I took second
place in a sandcastle building contest!
On the weekdays I work. I drive an ice cream truck around and sell ice cream to
the kids. It is so cool. It is a combination of the two things I love most, ice cream
and kids. The pay isn’t too great but I love the job so much.
I hope the summer’s been going well for you too. There’s only a month and a
half left in summer vacation and after that it’s back to school. Would you like to
meet up some time before school starts?

adalah kata penghubung yang menghubungkan sebuah sebab dan akibatnya. Ada dua jenis
kata penghubung yaitu:

1. Kata penghubung yang diikuti dengan clause

Kata penghubung yang diikuti dengan klausa/ clause adalah kata penghubung yang
memerlukan sebuah subject dan predicate dalam penulisannya. Kata penghubung jenis
pertama ini antara lain:

a) Because

b) Since

@2020, Direktorat SMA, Direktorat Jenderal PAUD, DIKDAS dan DIKMEN 9
