Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as “Could you please… ”or “May I ask… ” “I’m sorry to trouble you but…” “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me…”.
It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help.
2a
Where do you need to make polite requests Think of some possible situations. Discuss them with your partner.
In a foreign country.
In public places like a bank, a post office, a library, a shopping mall, etc.
At school.
At home, especially when speaking to your elders.
For example
It’s very important to know how to ask for help politely.
How can we make polite requests Read 2b.
A. What to do when you meet with difficulties.
B. How to get along well with others.
C. What to do when you fail.
D. How to ask for help politely.
What is the main idea of the passage
Task 1
2b
Read the article and underline the topic sentence for each paragraph.
Could You Please…
When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, you may ask “Where are the restrooms ” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are ” These are similar requests for directions. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question.
Task 2
1
It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help.
Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. It is all right to ask your classmates direct questions because you know them well. However, if you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip ”, this might sound impolite.
2
But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is ”, this will sound much more polite.
Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as “Could you please… ” or “May I ask… ” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address ” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.”
3
Sometimes we even need to spend time leading into a request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but…” before asking for help.
It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. This will help you communicate better with other people.

A. Use more words to help you sound more polite.

For example, you may ask “Where are the restrooms ” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are ”
2. Why is using correct language not enough
Read the article and answer the questions.
Task 4
Both are correct English, but the first one sounds rude.
Because we need to learn how to be polite when we
make requests.
3. What should we do when we are talking with different people
4. What might the expressions you use depend on
We should change the way (that / in which) we speak.
They might depend on whom you are speaking to or
how well you know them.
