9. Inappropriate text

Mr. Teacher:

I'm Karen, a student in her Spanish class. Remember Me? Normally I sit in the front row seats in right. I want to talk to you next Thursday at 3:00 p.m.. I want a council for final course work. I know that your day to visit is on Wednesday but I can not that day. It turns out that, for some time as I am a little nervous, I took a yoga class and go two days a week: Wednesdays and Fridays. I'm sure you are not going to care, but if there are any problems, call me 56 608 4790. Thanks.

• What type of text?

• Who writes it?

• Who?

• Why?

• Is it appropriate?

10. How do you say?

A. In pairs, you are going to represent one of these five situations. Elegird one and think how you will say things to achieve your goals.

1. You are a neighbor at the supermarket. Very heavy going because you have bought many things. I do not know much but I salute every day. Want to lose to take you home.

You're in the supermarket and you meet a neighbor you do not like very well. Alo have a hurry because you have been.

2. You are in a flower shop where you bought several times. You have to buy urgently a bouquet of flowers to make a gift. Cuentea you see that you do not take cash nor credit card. Want to tell the clerk to pay him another day.

You work at a florist. In the shop there is a customer who does not know and you do not trust.

3. You're having a drink with a friend. Want to ask your car because you have to go to a mall to buy some furniture.

You are taking something with a Maiga. You will have bought a new car and do not want to leave it to anyone. Your friend leads fatal.

4. Flat share with a friend. The house is messy and dirty. You always make an effort to clean but not your turn. Your parents are coming to visit you within a couple of days. How do you tell your roommate you have to clean the house?

You are a nuisance to your roommate because he's always giving orders. In addition, we recently asked you a favor and he did not.

5. Two months ago pretas € 200 to a friend. You said you was going to return in a week or two, but you have not already done so. Think you can not remember, but you need the money. Today you are having a coffee the two in a bar. How do you ask?

You're having coffee with a friend. Some time ago you asked for money but you have not yet returned. AHRA itself does not have much money and want to ask another 200 €.

B. Kind, direct, polite, sharp, clear, friendly, rude.

Courtesy

Although civility is an element found in all cultures of the world when we left our country realize the differences in this regard. Let's see some examples.

In Spain there is less than in the U.S. thanks. In a bar, for example, Spanish does not usually thank the waiter when he served a drink. In the U.S., by contrast, is normal to finish a telephone conversation by saying "Thanks for calling."

Another example: the reviewer of the railways in the Netherlands exchanged every day thousands of "thank you" to travelers by receiving and enfregar tickets. In Spain, however, reviewers often ahorráselo completely.

And something very interesting: some languages, such as Botswana (indigenous language of South Africa) have no language formula, to thank. They do this by gestures.

Such differences can lead to a cultural misunderstanding. The behavior of the Spanish, for example, may seem rude to Dutch or American, while the Spanish may think that the Dutch and the Americans are, in some cases, overly polite.
