Step I Pre-reading (Section 1:P92)
T: Do you often do your homework at school or at home?
Ss: At home.
T: When you meet difficulties in your homework, who do you often turn to for help?
S1: My parents often help me.
S2: I often go to ask my best friend.
S3: I often give my teacher a call and she helps me.
T: In these situations, how will you ask for help? What will you say to them? Think for a while and write down the words and expressions. In Chinese, if you can’t find the correct words.
Move around and offer some help.
T: What do you usually say to your parents, best friend and teacher?
S1: I will say “妈妈，能帮我做这道题吗?”
S2: I usually say “东东，来看看这道题怎么做啊?”
S3: I will say “李老师，这道题我不太会做，您能帮我解答一下吗?”

T: Have you noticed that they use different sentences to express the same meaning? Why is that? Discuss with your partners.
S: I think when we ask different people for information, we use different expressions. For very close friends or people you know well, we don’t need to use polite language. But when we talk to teachers or people much older than you or strangers, we should use polite language. In a word, the expressions we use depend on whom we are speaking to or how well we know them.
T: Excellent. Now let’s put what you just wrote in English. Be careful with your expressions.
Sample answers:
Your parents
Mom, can you help me with the problem?
Your best friend
Dongdong, I don’t know how to solve this problem, give me a hand.
A teacher
Miss Li, Could you please help me with this problem?

Step II While-reading (Section 2: P92-93)
Let the Ss read the passage on page 92 and explain some difficult language points to them.
T: Now we are going to learn a passage about language etiquette. Do you know the meaning of “etiquette”?
Show the word “etiquette” and its explanation on the blackboard.
etiquette: formal rules of correct and polite behavior in society or among members of a profession
T: Let’s read the passage on page 92 and learn some etiquette in English language. First look at the questions on the screen. When you read, please find the answers.
Show the following three questions on the screen.
Q1: Is the sentence “Where are the restrooms?” polite or impolite?
Q2: What should you do when you talk with different people?
Q3: Is learning about language etiquette as important as learning grammar or vocabulary? Why?
T: How about the first one?
S1: It’s impolite. We should use polite expressions when we make requests.
T: What will you do when you talk with different people?
S2: We should change the way we speak. We should use polite language when we talk with a teacher or a stranger. While when we talk to very close friends, it is OK not to use polite language.
T: Last question?
S3: Yes, it is. Because if you don’t speak politely in some situations, your requests may sound rude or even offend people.

Step III Post-reading (Section 3: P93)
Deal with Section 3 on page 93.
T: After you read the passage, what do you think of language etiquette?
S1: I think it’s very important in daily communications, especially when we visit another country. We should be careful with the language we use.
T: Very good. Now look at the chart on page 93. We have learned that when we talk with different people, we should use different language to make requests. Read the three requests in the left column and describe situations when the requests would be suitable and then in the right column, make more polite requests. You may discuss with your partners.
Suggested answers:

Request
Suitable situation
More polite request
1. “Where are the restrooms?”
A team player asking another team player.
“Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?”
2. “I want to go to the library. Where is it?”
A new student asking an old student.
“Could you please tell me where the library is?”
3. “How much did you pay for that soccer ball?”
A boy asking his classmate.
“Could you please tell me how much you paid for that soccer ball?”

T Now read the passage again and get the main idea of each paragraph. Then match each paragraph with its main idea in 3b.
Check the answers.

Step IV Role Play (Section 4: P93)
T: Now read the four situations in Section 4. When you are in such situations, how will you make the request? Think about the relationship between the speaker and the listener. Work in pairs and act out the conversations.
Sample conversations:
1. S1: Mom. Can I stay out late this afternoon? I will play football with my classmates at school.
S2: OK. Be careful and don’t be too late.
2. S1: Excuse me, can you tell me how to play the new video game? It looks interesting.
S2: Well, I will show you. Watch carefully ...
3. S1: I’m sorry to trouble you, Mr White, but can I hand in my homework later today?
S2: I am sorry you can’t. It has been delayed for almost a week.
4. S1: Dear, sorry to tell you that I will be away this weekend. How about coming here next weekend?
S2: Sure. See you then.

Step V Homework
T: Find more examples of language etiquette when you watch movies or read books. Share them with the class next time we meet.

I. 背景知识
1. 如何礼貌地请求帮助
在日常生活中向别人打听情况、征询意见时，常用Excuse me; 在向别人提出请求时， 常用Could you tell me ...? 或Can you tell me ...？ Could you ...？ 句型中could表示语气婉转、有礼貌。在希望得到肯定答复的疑问句中，以及在含有表示建议、请求和征求意见语气的疑问句中，常用some和something，而不用any和anything。该句式的重点是宾语从句，宾语从句应注意时态、语序和引导词三个问题，即主、从句时态的呼应，引导词在从句中的作用以及从句的语序。如果别人向你提出问题时，你很熟悉这条路， 你就应该尽力地去帮助别人。即使你不知道，你也应该有礼貌地如实回答： I’m sorry I don’t know.
—Could you please tell me where we show our tickets?
—I’m sorry I don’t know.
