Let’s talk more about how we ask people
to perform an action. [see screen] Some common questions making requests are. [see screen] Note that could you and would you are more
polite. [see screen] So you see it
again could and would are more polite.
And Please make any question more polite. [see
screen]
Take a note of the grammar: do you mind
or would you mind takes a verb with –ing. The last expression “Would it be too
much trouble ~” combines with infinitive (to 부정사). [see screen]
Let’s stop and try another
exercise. [see screen]
This request are two direct for an
employee to use with a boss and for one employee to use this request with another
is unnatural. One employee with another
would more likely user suggestions such as “Lets get back to work!” [see
screen]
1. A police officer speaking to a drive
would not use an implied request. They
will speak more directly and use a warning. “Stop driving dangerously! Stop doing that!” And in the case of a student, if would be
best not even to make a request, but simply give reminder. Student can simply tell the teacher what his
name is. [see screen]
2. A doctor would not speak this way to
a patient. Doctors give directions,
instructions, and warnings. A hostess
also would not speak in this manner. A
hostess would most likely make an offer such as “Would you care to wash up
before dinner?” [see screen]
3. A child would not use such a
request. It’s little too formal, too
long. The child would simply ask “Can we
move the bed near the window?” C. is
also possible. But, the situation there are likely many piece of furniture, and
take time to be polite make a request to every single piece of furniture is
just too much. [see screen]
4. A job seeker needs to remain formal
and polite. The job seeker could ask, “Mind
if I expect your call? (if가 거의 들리지 않지만 있습니다)” “May I expect your
call?” “Will you be calling me?” The job seeker should also not be too
demanding, so it would be best say something such as “Please call me at your
convenience!” A patient should also be
polite once speaking to a receptionist.
The patient could ask “Will you please return my call?” To state a specific time, the patient could
say, “Please call me anytime before 9 o’clock!”
That’s the end of part 2. Be sure to check out part 3.
