USEFUL LANGUAGE
PARAGRAPH I
It happened when Uncle Ron, my mother’s distant relative, came to our town on some business and stayed with us. It was difficult to say how old he was. He was not young, but he wasn’t old either. His face was wrinkled, but he was sporty, up-right and energetic. There was something about him which made me think of Arthur the King and his knights.
PARAGRAPH II
He was pretty busy all the time and we didn’t see much of him. He had lots of business meeting somewhere in the city and usually came home quite late. That’s why I was surprised when I saw him in our sitting room early in the afternoon.
PARAGRAPH III
It wasn’t one of my best days, and I didn’t feel like entertaining guests. Uncle Ron sensed that and didn’t ask any questions. Instead, he suggested having lunch together. Over the desert I told him everything. I was facing a bunch of problems. First of all, the neigbours complained to my parents that I had been rude to them. I didn’t mean to be rude at all. They just took it all wrong. Then I quarreled with my classmate, who said I was a bully. But the worst was my elder sister. She was only a year and a half older than me, but never missed a chance to demonstrate that she didn’t think much of me. When she was with her friends, she didn’t let me take part in their conversations, saying that I was too rude and ill-bread to join the select. She never allowed me to borrow her books or disks, and said that I wouldn’t understand that stuff anyway. To me it was discrimination, wouldn’t it be to you?
PARAGRAPH IV
Uncle Ron was a nice person to talk with. He listened, he didn’t interrupt, and he
didn’t criticise. He was all concern and respect.
“Well, I’m sure that she loves you”, he said at last. “But you don’t listen to
each other. Let’s try to get her to listen to you.”
“But she won’t! She never does! Just today I wanted to take her digital audio player
… I wanted to borrow it, for a while … And she called me thief, and shouted at me!”
“Try again, but ask for permission first”, and Uncle Ron wrote down a few lines on a
page from his pad. “Learn this,” he handed me the paper. “Learn this by heart”.
PARAGRAPH V
When I entered Julia’s room, she was listening to music and had her headphones on.
Her look didn’t promise a warm welcome.
“I wonder if I could ask you for a favour”, I said quietly. “Could I borrow your
player for a while, if you aren’t going to use it tonight?”
Julia stared at me in astonishment, evidently trying hard to comprehend the meaning of my
words.
“Yes,” she muttered at last in a low voice. “Yon can certainly take it. Here you
are.”
PARAGRAPH VI
It worked! I tried the magic phrase several times, and it always worked! Then I asked Uncle Ron to write down a couple of other useful phrases for me, and little by little I got into the habit of using polite language. It really makes life easier!
