Read para.1 and underline the language points.
Paragraph 1.
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.
It’s + adj.+to do sth.做某事......
有礼貌地寻求帮助
例如

不太礼貌
This/That is because +句子“这/那是因为... ”

绿灯行
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.
1. How do good speakers change the way they speak in different situations?
