Dear Laura, There is a fle a market (跳蚤市场) every month in my neighborhood. I want to sell my old toys and books to make money for new books . Do you have any tips(建 议) for a successful sale? Yours, Yu Le |
Dear Yu Le, When I was younger, I sold my old toys at flea markets. I even had a lemonade stand(柠檬汁小摊) ! I have a few tips to share . First , have fair(合理的) prices. Many people go to flea markets to get cheap things. So don't make your things too expensive ! Second, put your toys and books into groups. This will make it easier for people to see what you are selling. Third,____▲____ ! Even if you don't sell all of your things, you can still enjoy it. I hope you have a good time! Love, Laura |
Does it seem that the things you say often cause offense(冒犯) ? If so, maybe people think that your English isn't polite. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}!
◆"I'm afraid I can't" VS "NO."
It can be difficult to refuse an invitation from a friend. Simply saying "No." would sound impolite. The next time you have to refuse an invitation, you can say, "I'm afraid I can't.
◆ {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
If someone does something you don't like, would you like him to stop? To get the good result, instead of shouting "Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!", ask him politely by saying "Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?"
◆"Can you pass me. . . ?" VS "Give me..."
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}, so it's sometimes difficult to get what you want without causing frustration(懊恼). Change words that sound like commands(命令), such as "Give me the newspaper." with a request like "Can you pass me the newspaper?"
◆"Could you give me five minutes?" VS "Go away."
You're really busy at work, but your co-worker needs your help. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, just saying "Go away." is certainly not proper. Instead, keep everyone happy by using the words "Could you give me five minutes?"
A. "Would you mind . . .?" VS "Stop it!" B. People don't like being told what to do C. "Could you spare me…?" VS "Don't do it!" D. Learn how to be polite with this great guide E. When you're busy and can't do anything else |
