There are different ways of asking for help. Non-native English speakers sometimes sound 36. impolite to native English speakers. This is because they often use language that is too 37. direct. Native English 38. speakers often ask for help in a polite and indirect way, for example, using “could”, “would you mind” and so on.
Could I ask you the time, please?
Would you mind 39. turning your radio down, please?
First, polite requests are 40. normally made in the form of questions. Second, native English speakers often use “please” to make their 41. requests more polite. Third, “Could I...?” and “Can I...?” are similar requests. Both of them are 42. correct, but the first one sounds more formal (正式的). You might use “Could I...?” 43. if you want to be more polite.
“I need...” is very direct and is usually used for urgent (紧急的) requests:
I need a doctor.
I need the fire extinguisher (灭火器). Fast!
“I want” is very direct and can 44. sound impolite. We usually don’t use it to make requests 45. unless we want to be very direct:
I want to speak to the manager (经理) right now. I am not leaving here until I get my money back.

答案： 36.impolite 37.direct 38.speakers 39.turning 40.normally 41.requests 42.correct 43.if 44.sound 45.unless
