Step 9 Language points
1. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite.
less + 形容词或副词，构成降级比较形式，相当于中文“不那么；稍许不……”之意。
e.g. His second movie is less interesting.
他的第二部电影就没那么有趣。
polite作形容词，意为“有礼貌的；客气的”。
be polite to sb. 意为“对某人有礼貌”。如：
Please be polite to our guests.
It’s polite to do sth. 意为“做某事是有礼貌的”。如：
It’s polite to say “Thank you”.
【拓展】
polite的副词形式为politely，意为“有礼貌地；客气地”。polite的反义词是impolite，意为“不礼貌的；粗鲁的”。如：
The girl told me politely that her mother was not at home.
It’s impolite to refuse others directly.
2. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly.
情态动词might 表达一种可能性及推测的不确定性，意思与表达可能性的may相当，表示“有可能，也许会”，但语气更加委婉，更不确定。
e.g. He might come, but it’s very unlikely.
他也许会来，但非常靠不住。
3. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations.
it作形式主语
【梳理】
在英语中，如果主语是较长的动词不定式或一个句子，为了保持句子结构的平衡，避免头重脚轻，通常用it作形式主语放在句首，而把真正的主语放在句尾。
常见的句型有：
1) It is + adj. (+ for + sb.) + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有important, difficult, dangerous, necessary, useful, possible等，用来对to do sth. 进行说明。如：
It’s difficult for us to finish the work in an hour.
2) It is + adj. + of + sb. + to do sth.。常用于此句型的形容词有good, kind, nice, clever, wise等，用来对sb.的性格、品质等进行说明。
如：It’s kind of you to say so.
Step 10 Exercises
请根据汉语意思完成下列英语句子（每空一词）。
对他来说，回答那个问题是十分困难的。
It’s very hard ____ him ____ _______ that question.

It’s very kind ____ you ____ ____ so.
3. 我们在阅览室里保持安静是十分必要的。
It’s necessary ______ ______(should) keep quiet in the reading room.
It’s necessary for us _______ ______ ______ in the reading room.
