I was thinking of taking off from september first it's of the thirty eight would you be ok with that well i guess
So i really noticed how live in this dialogue
Use a lot of really polite language
How yeah i guess when you're talking in your boss
You'd really have to be respectful
And you have to use really polite language
What sort of things that she do to make herself seem more polite
Well she said a couple of interesting phrases for example
Well i was just wondering
Yeah
I was just wondering right as like well sh's kind of setting up to ask for a favor or yeah
And she also is another phrase that i thought was inteintesting
Yes
She also said i was just hoping that yes
Right i was just hoping that maybe i could take some time off yeah again
That sort of doesn't sound too strong
So it seems a bit more polite yeah
Because if she said well i wanted take some time off
That's too strong yeah
So i was just hoping
And then well the boss is okay
Well when do you want to leave
And she says well i was thinking of right
I was thinking of yeah again
If she would have said i want to yes too strong right yeah
In english sometimes we are careful
Do not be too direct
