One morning, it was already a quarter to eight when I got up. I was afraid that I would be late so I put on my clothes hurriedly and left without breakfast.

There were so many people at the bus stop that it was not easy to catch a bus. Five minutes went by, I still couldn’t get on one. The only thing I could do was to walk. I rushed through the crowded and ran towards my school. Unexpectedly, I hit an old woman, and she fell down. Without saying sorry, I left her and went on my way.

That evening, when I was back from school, I learned that the old woman was badly hurt in the leg from the fall. Some kind people sent her to a hospital after I left. I felt very sorry and nearly cried. The only way for me to ask her pardon was to pay her a visit.

The next day, I went to the hospital, I met the old woman and told her who I was. At first I thought that she would give me a scolding. To my surprise, she didn’t, but smiled. For me, that smile was worse. She touched my hand and said, “Never mind, my girl, I knew you didn’t want to hurt me, did you? Don’t worry, I will be better soon.”

Do you know how to talk to others politely in English? Have a look at the following.

Excuse me. VS Move

Telling someone to move out of the way is very rude(无礼的). When someone is in your way, you should say “Excuse me”.

I’m afraid I can’t. VS No

It can often be difficult to decline an invitation from a friend. Saying “No” would be impolite. It’s a good idea to say,”I’m afraid I can’t.” if you have to say no to an invitation.

If someone is doing something rude, would you like them to stop? You shouldn’t say, “Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!” You can say, “Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?”
