Asking Favors 求助
When you ask for things, it is important to be polite. The intonation that you use in making your request is as important as what you actually say. When you think someone will refuse your request, you can ask the question in such a way that the refusal does not cause embarrassment.

Making Friends 交朋友中国英语博客基地(English Blogs-英语麦当劳博客空间)-_?OV&Wm J:l1A!p
g
When making new friends, there are usually three parts to the conversation you will have with your new friend. The first is the greeting. In this part, you and your new friend will greet each other and tell each other your names. The second part is the conversation. Sometimes the conversation is small talk and some times the conversation is about important matters, such as business. "Small talk" is an American slang term. It means that the conversation is about matters that are not very important. 中国英语博客基地(English Blogs-英语麦当劳博客空间)2y)j'Gxk ?c;Ns)s-w
When conversing with your new friend, it is customary to give information about your family, your work, or you will talk about any matter that is important to you and your new friend. The third part of the conversation is the leave-taking. In this part, you tell your new friend that you are happy to meet him and that you must end the conversation. 中国英语博客基地(English Blogs-英语麦当劳博客空间).dJ$oQmM)JC
In this conversation, Thin will introduce himself and his wife to Jim, their new neighbor. 中国英语博客基地(English Blogs-英语麦当劳博客空间)+U}i
