Making Friends: Continue with Polite Phrases

Hello. I hope you are getting along pretty well with your new friends. Today I am teaching you to say polite phrases in your daily conversations, which are: thank you, you are welcome, may I, and please.

Thank you:

Say it when someone helps you, e.g. lend you a hand when you fall

Say it when someone praises you, e.g. say something good about you

Say it when someone gives you a present, e.g. gives you christmas gift

Say it when someone does something for you, e.g. close the door for you

You are welcome:

Say it when someone thanks you for helping, e.g. help him/her to take something

Say it when someone thanks you for praising, e.g. say something good about him/her

Say it when someone thanks you for the present, e.g. give him/her birthday gift

May I:

Say it when you are requesting something from someone, e.g. when you borrow a pen from your friend

Say it when you need permission from someone, e.g. when you need to go out and you have to ask your parents.

Please:

Say it when you are asking someone to give you something, e.g. asking for spoon from waiter

Say it when you are asking someone to do something for you, e.g. help you to close the window

Make sure you use these polite phrases when you are making requests or thanking someone. It makes people feel warm and kind when you use them correctly. Moreover, this will make your friends and other people to like you even more. So use them more often in your daily conversations.

Making Friends: Start with Personal Pronouns

Now you know how to introduce yourself with some simple sentences. Try to make new friends, and then develop further into good friends or best friends. In this lesson, we are going to learn “he, she, we, they” and “am, is, are”. Do you know how to use these English words?

The word “he” refers to male, boy and man. It is use to show that the people we are referring to is a male. For example: James is my friend. He is 7 years old.

The word “she” refers to female, girl and woman. It is use to show that the people we are referring to is a female. For example: Suzan is my friend. She is 7 years old.

The word “we” refers to us a unit of more than two people, regardless males or females. It is use to indicate a group of people including myself. For example: James and Suzan are my friends. We are 7 years old.

The word “they” refers to them as a unit of more than two people, regardless males or females. It is use to indicate a group of people excluding myself. For example: James and Suzan are friends. They are 7 years old.

The word “am” basically follows behind “I”, whereas “is” often follows behind “he” and “she”. These words are often use to show that the person we referring to is a single unit (singular). In the other hand, the word “are” always follows behind “we” and “they”. It is to show that the persons we referring to are more than one unit (plural).

Remember that it is wrong to use “am” for he or she. It is only for “I”. Also, it is incorrect to use “is” for plural (we, they) and “are” for singular (he, she, I).

Learning "Me Myself"

How was the previous lessons? You have learnt A to Z and a new song called "Twinkle Twinkle". I hope you still remember them. Today we will learn about "Me Myself". This lesson will help you to introduce yourself to other people in an easy way. 

First of all, you have to know some basic information about yourself, such as your name, gender and age. Name is the words by which you are known, addressed or called. Gender is basically the social attributes associated with being male and female, boy and girl, or man and woman. Age is the length of time you have lived and it is calculated since the day you were born. 

Now you understand about the information, try to put them into short sentences during your daily conversations. For examples:

This is a fairly easy way to introduce yourself and start a conversation with people. Let us try it out. Fill in the blanks below with your own information.

Hi, I am ________. I am a _______. I am ______ years old.

I hope you can practice a few more times so that you can exchange greetings, introduce yourself, make polite requests and thank someone easily in the future.
