Daliy talking (日常对话)
英语会话:如何提出要求 当你要求别人为你做什么,或者问别人你是否可以做什么, 采取毕竟礼貌的说法很重要。这是一些常用句法: 要求别人为你做事 "Could you open the door for me, please?" "Would you mind opening the door for me, please?" "Can you open the door for me, please?" 询问别人你是否可以做.. "Can I use your computer, please?" "Could I borrow some money from you, please?" Could 比 can 听起来有礼貌得多。 "Do you mind if I turn up the heating?" "Would you mind if I turned up the heating?" 这两句无需加please,因为已经很有礼貌了。 英语会话:如何发出和接受邀请 和同事混熟了,大家一起出去吃个饭搞点活动很常见。你来我往, 大家轮流组织。这里教你如何发出以及接受/拒绝邀请。 发出邀请: "What are you doing next Saturday?
