    　　It's sometimes said that the English are polite people. This can make life
    difficult for foreigner. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with
    him and she says, " If I finish my work, I'll meet you in the café at 7 o'clock," Is
    she saying " yes" or " no" to his invitation?
    　　In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure. By using the
    conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a "yes" or " no" answer to a
    question. It enables people to be diplomatic. If the girl doesn't want to go out
    with the boy, she won't turn up at the café. She will let him understand she is still
    working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesn't want to appear too easy to
    catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first
    conditional which shows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the café.
    Being polite can make life very difficult!
    　　The conditional is often used by people in the news-politicians, for
    example-who to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are
    on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her
    points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of
    workers, " if we could pay you more, we would.' The use of the conditional here
    makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional
    form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their
    rise.
    　　"If" is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can
    show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the
    First-probability-if I can come to your party, I will; the
    second -improbability-if I saw you tomorrow, I'd give you the book; and the
    third-impossibility( meaning it is too late to change something that has
    happened)-if you have told me. I would have helped you.
    1. The using of the conditional can make a speech _____.
    A. clearer
    B. quicker
    C. more polite
    D. more exciting
    2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. Language used in the news should make room to argue.
    B. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.
    C. English people never speak out their ideas in public.
    D. The word "if" can show different meanings.
    3. In the passage," If we could pay you more, we would." probably means _____.
    A. the workers will make more money
    B. the spokesman doesn't give any promise
    C. the spokesman keeps his word
    D. the workers' problems aren't difficult
    4. This passage is mainly talking about _____.
    A. the conditional in communication
    B. how to invite a girl in Britain
    C. British people and their life
    D. some language points in daily English

    　　Dear Sir or Madam，

    　　Last Thursday，I traveled on the 8：00 a．m．train from Glasgow to London

    King’s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company．

    　　The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow．

    A man at the station said sorry to us，but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay(误点)．We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes．As a result，I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

    　　What’s more，the service on the train was also very poor．The trip took more than five hours．Unluckily，we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train．Worst of all，something was wrong with the air conditioning(空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train．Before we reached King’s Cross，the temperature was over 40℃．

    　　Because of your poor service，I feel you should pay me compensation(赔偿)．

    　　I am looking forward to hearing from you．

    　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Yours faithfully，

    　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 David Robertson
