How can we make polite requests Read the passage Could you please... .
Pre-reading
Read the passage.
Could You Please ...
Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations. 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.
When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how 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.
While-reading
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 "I'm 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. This will help you communicate better with other people.

在英语中，为了避免“头重脚轻”，常用it作形式主语，而将真正的主语动词不定式或V-ing形式放在后面。
① It is interesting to go on a picnic at this time of year.
一年中的这个时候去野餐很有趣。
对学生来说，一天做两次眼保健操是必要的。
② It's necessary for the students to do eye exercises twice
a day.
形式
主语
真正的主语
他真好，帮助了我们。
③ It is very kind of him to help us.
It is + 形容词 + to do sth. 做某事怎么样
若要说明动词不定式的动作是谁做的，可在形容词后加上for sb这样的介词短语, 即“It is + 形容词 + for sb + to do sth.”，可译为“ 对某人来说，做某事怎么样”。
当需要表达某人所具备的素质时，我们常在形容词后加上of sb的介词短语，即“It is + 形容词 + of sb + to do sth.”，可译为“某人做某事真/太怎么样”。

might modal verb
