I dont like waiting in line when a shop assistant has a long telephone conversation. When that happens, I usually say, “Would you mind helping me?” And I dont like it when shop assistants follow me around. Then I say, “Could you please not follow me around? Ill ask you if I need some help. Usually the shop assistants say they are sorry, but sometimes they get mad. If that happens, I wont go back to that store again. I get annoyed when someone talks to me while Im reading. This happens to me all the time in the school library. When it happens, I usually talk to the person because I want to be polite. But because Im polite, people dont know Im annoyed. So they do the same thing again. Perhaps in the future I should try not to be so polite. 4、 Dear Kim, Sometimes it isnt easy being the new kid at school, but I had a wonderful time on Saturday night. Thank you so much for inviting me. I didnt know some of the girls, but they were all really friendly to me. And the video you showed was really funny. I Feel like part of the group now.
