SET口說講稿分享 by Martin- Describe a situation in which you were very polite

Describe a situation in which you were very polite. You should explain

• where the situation took place


• how you showed that you were polite


• and why you needed to be so polite.

I want to talk about the time when I was interviewed by a US Embassy officer, in which I think I was very polite.

This took place last year at the US Embassy in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. I was renewing my US working visa and I had to go through this interview process.

I tried to be as polite as possible because I wanted to give the officer a good impression. So my tone and choice of words were kept "at the highest level". For example, when I stepped at the interview booth, I politely greeted him by saying "Good morning, sir"; and instead of saying "yea", I said "yes". Also, when I wasn't sure about one of his questions, I asked "Sorry, could you please repeat the question?". Finally, at the end of the interview, I respectfully said "Thank you very much for your time."

I needed to be very polite for this occasion because I wanted to show my respect to the US as a country and I also wanted to demonstrate my ability to speak in a professional manner.

All in all, regardless of who I am speaking to, I think it is always very important to be polite because this is also something that I expect from others when talking to me.
