Dear editor,
Once I went to the post office to buy some stamps.When I was ready to leave,someone came up to me.I looked up and found an old man with dirty clothes.He was a scramp-collector(捡废品的人).I instinctively(本能地)stepped backward,because I was in my clean school uniforms.
He wanted to send some money home but he didn't know how to fill out the form.He wanted me to help him.“But you can ask the cashier there.” I answered impatiently(不耐烦).
“I have asked her.But I don't understand her instructions.W0uld you please help me?” Just then,my mobile phone rang.It was a good excuse to refuse him.Hopelessly and sadly he went away and tried to find someone else to help him.
When I came out of the post office I became very upset.How couldn't refuse someone in need of help,especially such an old scramp-collector.Was it because he was old,poor and dirty?
I want to say sorry to him in this newspaper.It's been on my mind for a long time.And I hope to feel better by doing this.
Yours,
Lily

Asking for information or help is a very common and necessary activity, especially when we visit a foreign country.So knowing how to ask for information politely is important.In English, "Where are the restrooms?" and "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" are similar requests-both are correct English, but the first could sound rude.It's important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough-we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.
In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people.The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them.If you say to your teacher, "Where is my book?" this will sound rude.But if you say, "Excuse me, Mr West.Do you know where my book is?" your question will sound much more polite.On the other hand, it might be alright to say "Where is my book?" in some situations, perhaps with people you know well.
And you would not usually say, "Peter, lend me your pen." A very direct order like this can sound rude in English.Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra language, such as "Could you please…?" or "Can I ask…?" It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please lend me your pen?" Sometimes we might even need to spend some time leading in to a question or request.For example, if you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, "Excuse me.I wonder if you can help me." or "I'm sorry to trouble you but," before asking them for help.
It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true.However, in order not to offend people, learning about the language etiquette is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary.And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.
1.It's important to know how to ________ in English when we visit a foreign country.
2.When you talk with different people, you need to ________.
3.Extra words are used to help ________.
4.________ is as important as learning language structure.
5.How do you say " Don't smoke here." politely? "________”
