1

What is the situation that Benen describes for making a polite request?

2

According to Benen, why are phrases like "Can we change the focus?" or "Could we change the focus?" not polite enough for the situation mentioned?

3

What is the FIRST polite request structure Benen teaches for spoken English?

4

What is the THIRD polite request structure Benen teaches for spoken English?

5

What extra phrases does Benen suggest adding when making a polite request in WRITTEN English?

Explanation

If you chose A: ❌ Canceling the class isn't mentioned! Benen describes a different situation. Listen carefully to the example. If you chose C: ❌ Changing the time isn't the request here. The request is about changing the FOCUS of the class. Listen again to what the student wants to prepare for!

If you chose B: ❌ The grammar is actually correct! Benen says "This is okay" but then explains why it's not enough. Listen to her reason. If you chose C: ❌ English speakers DO use "can" and "could" - but not for requests that are inconvenient. Benen explains that British people in particular care a lot about politeness in these situations.

If you chose A: ❌ That's actually for WRITTEN English, which comes later in the video! Benen teaches spoken English phrases first. Listen to the first phrase she introduced. If you chose B: ❌ This phrase is mentioned later for written English, but it's not the first spoken English structure. Benen teaches three spoken phrases first. Listen to the beginning of her list!

If you chose A: ❌ That's the SECOND phrase, not the third! Benen teaches three spoken phrases in order. Listen carefully to when she introduces each one. If you chose C: ❌ This phrase is for WRITTEN English, which comes later in the video. Benen teaches spoken English phrases first, then written ones. Listen to the third spoken phrase!

If you chose B: ❌ "Can you please" is not polite enough for written requests, and "Thank you" is good but not the specific phrases Benen mentions. Listen to the extra phrases she suggests. If you chose C: ❌ These are actually the SPOKEN English phrases from earlier in the video! For written English, Benen teaches different structures like "would it be possible to" and "could we possibly," plus these extra polite phrases.
