just for fun!reading poems is fun. so go on reading this little poem by james whitcomb riley (1849-1916).a boy's mother    my mother she's so good to me,
    ef i was good as i could be,
    i couldn't be as good—no, sir!—
    can't any boy be good as her!     she loves me when i'm glad er sad;
    she loves me when i'm good er bad;
    an', what's a funniest thing, she says
    she loves me when she punishes.     i don't like her to punish me.—
    that don't hurt,—but it hurts to see
    her cryin'.—nen i cry; an' nen
    we both cry an' be good again.     she loves me when she cuts an' sews
    my little cloak an' sund'y clothes;
    an' when my pa comes home to tea,
    she loves him most as much as me. she laughs an' tells him all i said,
    an' grabs me up an' pats my head;
    an' i hug her, an' hug my pa
    an' love him purt' nigh as much as as ma. reading: could you please lend me your pen?before you read, listen to the recording for the general idea of the passage.while you read, underline all the expressions and circle all the connectives.asking for information or help is a very common and necessary activity, especially when we visit a foreign country, so knowing how to ask for information politely is important. in english, “where are the restrooms?” and “could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests — both are correct english, but the first could sound rude. it’s important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough— we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests. in english, just like in chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. the expressionsyou use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. if you said to your teacher, “where is my book?”, this might sound rude. but if you said, “excuse me, mr west. do you know where my book is?”, your question will sound much more polite. on the other hand, it might be all right to say “where is my book?” in some situations, perhaps with peopleyou know well.    and you would not usually say, “peter, lend me your pen.” a very direct order like this can sound rude in english. usually in english polite questions are longer and include extra language such as ‘could you please…?’ or ‘can i ask…?’ it sounds more polite to say, “peter, could you please lend me your pen?” sometimes, we might even need to spend some time leading in to a question or request. for example, if you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, “excuse me, i wonder if you can help me” or “i’m sorry to trouble you but,” before asking them for help. it might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true. however, in order not to offend people, learning about language etiquette is just as learning grammar or vocabulary. and doing this will also help you become better at english, or any other languageyou wish to speak.
