Assuming you want a lesson plan tailored for an intermediate English student focusing on conversational fluency and professional phrasing, here is a complete, structured lesson you can use right away.
# Lesson Plan: Mastering Polite & Professional Requests
* **Level:** Intermediate (B1-B2)
* **Duration:** 45–60 minutes
* **Objective:** Teach students how to shift from direct, blunt phrasing to polite, professional requests in workplace or formal social settings.
# 1. Warm-Up & Hook (5–10 mins)
* **The Scenario:** Read these two sentences aloud to your student:
* *“Send me the report now.”*
* *“Could you please send me the report when you have a moment?”*
* **Discussion Question:** Ask the student: *How does each sentence make you feel? Which one would you use with your boss or a client, and why?*
* **Key Concept:** Explain that English relies heavily on "softeners" (modal verbs, introductory phrases) to sound polite rather than demanding.
# 2. Presentation: The Direct vs. Polite Scale (15 mins)
Walk through the shift from direct commands to polished, professional phrasing using these common examples:
| Direct / Too Blunt (Avoid) | Polite & Professional (Use) | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| *“I want the files.”* | *“I was wondering if I could get the files.”* | Uses past tense/wondering to create psychological distance and softness. |
| *“Fix this mistake.”* | *“Would you mind taking another look at this?”* | Uses "would you mind" followed by a gerund (-ing). |
| *“Tell me when you are free.”* | *“Please let me know what time works best for you.”* | Shifts the focus to the other person's convenience. |
> **Pro Tip for Tutors:** Highlight the grammar structure of **"Would you mind + [verb]-ing"** as it is a frequent stumbling block for non-native speakers who naturally want to follow it with a base verb.
>
# 3. Guided Practice: Roleplay (15 mins)
Put the new phrases into action. Take turns roleplaying these quick workplace scenarios:
* **Scenario A:** Your colleague is late in sending a project update.
* *Goal:* Ask for the update without sounding accusatory.
* *Target phrase:* *"Hi [Name], I just wanted to touch base regarding..."*
* **Scenario B:** You need your manager to approve a budget change.
* *Goal:* Request approval politely.
* *Target phrase:* *"Would you be open to reviewing this updated budget when you have a chance?"*
# 4. Wrap-Up & Homework (5 mins)
* **Quick Review:** Have the student rewrite one final blunt sentence on the spot: *“Give me the meeting link.”* (Expected answer: *"Could you please share the meeting link with me?"*)
* **Homework Assignment:** Ask the student to write three polite emails or text messages they might actually send this week using at least two of the softeners learned today.
