Maybe sunny weather will be rainy in a few minutes. If you go across the road, you must look right first. If you drive a car, you must drive it on the left side of the road. Which country is it? A. China B. England C . America Situation 2 When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know to ask for help politely. For example, you may ask “Where are the restrooms?” or “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” These are similar requests for directions. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help. Good speakers change the way they speak in different circumstances. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to or how well they know each other. It is all right to ask your classmates direct questions because you know them well. However, if you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip?”, this might sound impolite. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?”, this will sound much more polite. Usually polite questions are longer. They include expressions such as “Could you please .?”or “May I ask.?”It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading into a request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, “Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “Im sorry to trouble you, but.”before asking for help. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations.

In some countries, there is a special day for playing tricks on others. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fools Day, and is celebrated on April 1. Many people say the French started April Fools Day. Centuries ago, New Years Day In Europe was on April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1. Some people did not like this, and choose to keep April 1 as New Years Day. Many called these people “April Fools” and played jokes and tricks on them. Over time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America. On April Fools Day, jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friends clock ahead one hour, or use salt instead of the sugar. Other countries have their own “Fools Day”. In Spain and Mexico, people have fun with one another on Dec. 28. In India, it happens on March 31.In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun.
