Beberapa Ekpresi Dalam Bahasa Inggris

Ada beberapa ekspresi / ungkapan yang biasa dipakai dalam bahasa Inggris pada Si-Kon ( situasi - kondisi ) tertentu.

Bagi pemula atau mereka yang baru saja belajar bahasa Inggris, biasanya menggunakan cara tercepat dalam mengungkapkan suatu perasaan atau keadaan - yakni meng-Inggriskan secara langsung dari bahasa Indonesia kedalam bahasa Inggris. Hal ini tentunya akan menjadikan bahasa Inggris mereka bukan the real English, artinya konteks-nya dari Indonesia namun susunan kebahasaan-nya dari bahasa Inggris - bukan terjemahan dari bahasa lain ( dari Indonesia di Inggriskan ). 

Untuk itulah disini saya ingin berbagi beberapa ekspresi yang digunakan pada situasi tertentu.
