Would you mind…?
Can you help me move to my new house?
What&`&s the answer?
Do you remember the term "excuse" (借口)...
"I&`&m really sorry, I&`&m busy." That&`&s a very common excuse that people use all the time.
Number 5?
COuld you move your car from my space?
We&`&re finishing Page 39, Section 8-A
So this is how we make requests!
I want everyone to think of 2 UNUSUAL requests that use the grammar in Section 8
And we&`&re going to practice refusing those unusual requests.
Make it an UNUSUAL (奇怪的) request.
Would you mind petting me dog for me?
Would you mind sending a love letter to my sister?
Would you mind talking to my horse for a little while?
Yes, that&`&s a good one!
Also, not very strange, but it&`&s a good sentence.
Would you mind taking your shoes outside?
Would you mind telling me your phone number?
Would you mind introducing me to your friend?
What&`&s a polite way to refuse this request?
Would you mind tell me your phone number?
"Oh, I&`&m sorry. Can you give me a second? I&`&m busy now."
"I&`&d like to, but I&`&ve changed my phone number recently."
Let&`&s move on to Section 9!
What are three requests that you could make about your neighbors?
Would you mind not parking your car in front of my house?
Would you mind not throwing your trash out ...
There are 4 ways to apologize..
And they&`&re useful if someone asks you something like this
For example, "Would you mind not walking your dog in my garden?"
We could: 1) give an excuse 2) admit a mistake 3) make an offer 4) make a promise
Would you mind turning your TV down at night? It&`&s so loud!
Answer this with 1-4
I promise I&`&ll turn down the TV after midnight.
I promise I&`&ll turn it down at night.
I&`&ll make sure to turn it down next time.
"I&`&ll make sure to..." is another way to make a promise.
"I&`&ll make sure it doesn&`&t happen again."
Those are two useful sentences!
I&`&ll make sure to turn it down at night.
Let&`&s go into the review of Section 5 and 6!
Where are you going to go on your next vacation?
Why did you choose this vacation?
"I want to study a different culture, and study English."
I can visit my classmates and see some famous scenery
What thing should you prepare for this vacation?
In English, we say "It&`&s a popular tourist destination"
or "It&`&s a popular tourist site."
You need to bring money ... what else?
Your requirements are lower ... good hiking shoes, some warm clothing.
Mountain roads are slippery, so you need a pair of hiking shoes.
Hiking guidebook.
Usually we just say "hiking stick"
You should bring comfortable shoes for walking.
And also one pair of nice shoes for the nighttime
During the day, many people in New York are 比较 casual.
But at night, people try to look good.
It&`&s often cold
Can you come in the Spring? It&`&s much better
Yes! Some medicine... Maybe some "bug spray"
January is defintely cold! A girl from Shenzhen will think its very cold.
Bring a winter jacket!
Not to kill the bugs
But the kind to put on your body
That&`&s all the time we have for today
Tomorrow we will do a little more review, but we will also started Lesson 7
