Anda membutuhkan kemampuan mengarang jika Anda kebingungan mengungkapkan suatu kata dalam Bahasa Inggris. Segera sampaikan kalimat dalam Bahasa Inggris yang memiliki arti atau tujuan yang kita inginkan daripada bergantung pada arti langsung bahasa Indonesia yang akan kita ungkapkan. Jangan bergantung terlalu banyak pada bahasa Indonesianya.

“Bayarin dulu, nanti diganti”, jangan terjemahkan lurus-lurus karena pasti artinya aneh. Susun sebuah kalimat Bahasa Inggris yang artinya tidak menyimpang. Seperti contoh :

1. Can I rely on you to pay the bill for me temporarily? I promise to reimburse you promptly.
2. Could you please cover the bill for me this time? I promise to pay you back.
3. Would you mind covering the bill for me this time? I’ll make sure to reimburse you later.
4. Do you think you could front the bill for me this time? I’ll repay you without fail.
5. Is it possible for you to pay the bill on my behalf? I’ll definitely pay you back.
6. Could you do me a favor and handle the bill for now? I’ll return the money as soon as possible.
7. I hate to ask, but would you be willing to foot the bill for me? I’ll settle the debt as soon as I can.
8. Would it be alright if you paid the bill for me this time? I assure you that I’ll give the money back.
9. I’m in a bit of a tight spot, would you mind paying the bill for me? I’ll make sure to compensate you accordingly.
10. Could you be so kind as to cover the bill for me? I’ll return the favor as soon as I’m able to.
11. Do you mind taking care of the bill for me right now? I’ll make sure to repay you as soon as I can.
