pendapat kepada anda dan anda dapat memberikan atau mengutarakan pilihan
anda. Sementara disisi lain terkadang menawarkan sesuatu kepada anda dan
anda harus mengutarakan pilihan anda dengan sopan jika anda tidak ingin
melakukan sesuatu yang sudah ditawarkan, atau mungkin lebih memilih untuk
melakukan sesuatu lainnya.
