8. Reading skills enable readers to
turn writing into meaning and
achieve the goals of
comprehension and fluency.
9. Many people have trouble with
reading. Reading is hard for some
people and it can take time. Reading
is a process of the brain where you
look at symbols on a page, and your
mind sees the patterns of characters
and understands the meaning in
them. If you develop good reading
skills, it'll be very helpful to your
future.

It's common to use 'Excuse me, ...' to get someone's attention in English.
Another, more formal form is 'I beg your pardon ...'
Example Dialogues

Person 2: Yes, it's two o'clock.
Person 1: I beg your pardon. Would you mind helping me a moment?
Person 2: Certainly. What can I do to help?
Sometimes, if a situation is more urgent, we use forms that might be considered
rude in other less urgent situations. The most common of these forms is the
imperative. The imperative form is also commonly used to give directions or
commands, but in a dangerous situation can be used to warn.
Verb + Objects + !
Watch out!
Be careful!
Pay attention to what you are doing!
27. 2. EXPRESSING SYMPATHY
Sometimes bad things happen. When we hear about bad things that happen to other people it's a
good idea to express sympathy. This can be difficult as we want to express our concern, but don't
want to be intrusive. Here are some common phrase to help you express sympathy.
I'm sorry to hear about ...
Please accept my condolences. (used when someone close to another has died)
That's so sad.
I hope things get better soon.
I hope you feel better soon.
Example Dialogues
Person 1: I've been rather sick lately.
Person 2: I hope you feel better soon.
Person 1: Tim has been having a lot of troubles lately. I think he might be getting a divorce.
Person 2: I'm sorry to hear about Tim's problems. I hoe things get better for him soon.
It's also common to express sympathy in writing. Here are some common phrases you can use
when writing a sympathy note to someone. Notice that is common to use the plural 'we' and 'our'
when expressing written sympathy as a way to express that a family
My heartfelt condolences on your loss.
Our thoughts are with you.
She/he was a lot of things to many people and will be missed tremendously.
Thinking of you in your time of loss.
We are very saddened to hear of your loss. With deepest sympathies.
28. 4. APPLOLOGIZING
It's common to use 'Excuse me, ...' before interrupting
someone to ask for something in English.Another, more
formal form is 'I beg your pardon ...'
Example Dialogues
Person 1: Excuse me, do you know what time it is?
Person 2:Yes, it's two o'clock.
Person 1: I beg your pardon. Would you mind helping me a
moment?
Person 2: Certainly.What can I do to help?
In these cases, people are asking for help but begin the
conversation by apologizing. If you would like to apologize for
something that you have done wrong, or misunderstood, the
following phrases are appropriate:
I'm very sorry for / that ...
I apologize if I ...
I apologize for (+ ing form of verb)
29. DAY 41. ASKING PEOPLE TO REPEAT
Sometimes, it is important to understand each piece of information when writing down a
telephone number, or taking notes. Here are some phrases which you can use to ask people
to repeat:
Would you mind repeating that?
Could I read that back to you?
Let me repeat that to double-check.
Example Dialogues
Person 1: The telephone number is 503 466-3978
Person 2: Let me repeat the number to double-check. 503 466-3978
Person 1: First, go down 3rd Ave to Black Street. Take a left, and continue on until you
reach Harbor Blvd.

If you are at a party, or some other place where noise may interfere with your
understanding, it's common to raise your voice a little and use one of the following
phrases:
I'm sorry, I didn't catch (your name, the address, the name of the restaurant, etc).
Could you repeat that?
I'm having a problem understanding you. What's that again? (this phrase is also used on the telephone)
