I have just seen this image on facebook and I started laughing hard.
The man is drowning and needs someone to help him, but he can't just scream: "Help!" The British are known for being very polite people and they always apologize (in british "apologise) for everything.
On the other hand, I am from Brazil and was born in a city called Fortaleza which is in the state of Ceará. Beautiful city, really wonderful beaches, but we have a little problem:when we speak we use the imperative 100% of the time! It's not because we are rude, it's just the way we are.
So, picture number 1 would be completely accepted in Ceará.
If you are in England remember to use the magic expressions: excuse me, I wonder if, I'm afraid I can't..., I'm terribly sorry, please and thank you
How are things in your country or city? Which picture would best describe it?
Sorry to say but those images has nothing to do with to be polite.
ResponderExcluirPlus i tink speaking badly about some people or places is not a good way to make your marketing mainly when you are professional.
