 Grumpy Politeness
What do you feel every time your classmates talk
to you in a nice manner?
Examine these sentences:
a. Hey! Where is the library?
b. Excuse me? Can you please tell me where the
library is?
“How are they similar? How are they different?”
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1WJnbJDTS0

In the video clip you are going to watch, let us

find out what are the polite words that we have
to use all the time and why people act
differently based on how we talk to them.
Use Polite Words
Peter: How’s your lunch Cris?
Cris: It smells great! Mrs. Harris, the lunch
lady, was really nice. She even noticed
my new shirt.
Peter: Oh…She didn’t say anything to
me. In fact, Mrs Harris seemed to
be a little grumpy when I asked for
food.
Cris: Hmmm… Maybe you didn’t use polite words
when you asked for it.
Peter: Really? How did you ask for your food?
Cris: Well…When I got to the front of the lunch line,
Mrs. Harris was facing the other way. So I said,
“Excuse me Mrs. Harris.” and she turned
around and asked me what I wanted to eat
for lunch. So I asked, “May I have some
chicken, carrots and yogurt, please? She told
me, “Yes, you may!” and then put a lot of food
on my tray. I said, “Thank you very much.”
And then she said, “You’re welcome! That’s a
nice shirt young man.” She was very nice.
Peter: Wow! You’re right she was nice to you.
Cris: How did you ask for your food Peter?
Peter: I said, “Give me some fish, green beans
and yogurt.” And then she gave me my
food. But she didn’t say anything to me.
Cris: Peter, she was probably grumpy because
you didn’t use polite words
Peter: Oh…But which words are polite words?
Cris: Well, words like please, thank you and
excuse me!
Peter: How do I use them? Can I use them
anytime?
Cris: Sure, When you ask for something like
food, you should say, “May I please have some
food?” And always say “thank you” when
someone does something nice for you.
Peter: Oh! And what about excuse me?
Cris: When you wanted to get someone’s
attention, but that person is busy, you should
say “excuse me” to let them know that you
wanted to talk to them.
Peter: Just like what you said to Mrs. Harris!
Wow Cris! You know so much about being
polite! Thanks for helping me. Hey! I just used
a polite word! Woo-hoo!
Cris: Yeah, way to go Peter!
Peter: Alright!, Can we please eat our lunch
now? I’m hungry.
Cris: Yes we may.

small man leaned over and shook him by the shoulder.

replied. “Just take your time.” Harold glanced

gripped the cushions, but still she managed to

"DUM" embroidered on his collar, and the other
"DEE." "I suppose they've each got "TWEEDLE"
round at the back of the collar," she said to herself.

alive, and she was just looking round to see if the
word "TWEEDLE" was written at the back of each
collar, when she was startled by a voice coming from
the one marked "DUM."
