They are a bunch of actually nice people. A few older ones
are very friendly, treating the students like their own children.
As a whole, the canteen provides good efficient service with
a variety of food choices. The most important criteria I see
are cleanliness and taste of the food. The workers practise
good hygiene and although a few are a bit unfriendly, the fact
can be ignored. I would agree to have the same canteen

3. Discuss how to use polite/courteous communication in similar situations. Act out
various situations to practise courteous communication.
When queueing to buy food for quite some time:
Andrian : I wonder why the line does not seem to be moving at all.
Rob : Me too. We only have fifteen minutes for our break.
Andrian : One should decide what to eat. So he can buy the food straight away
when it is his turn.
Rob : I agree with you and right now, I feel like shouting about it to the
Activities person in front!
Andrian : Oh Rob, please be more patient. It will spoil your good image if
other students remember you as a person who is hungry and angry!
When refusing an invitation
Mei Mei : I’m going to have a small party for my birthday this Saturday. Will
you be able to come to the party?
June : Thank you for the invitation but I’m sorry that I cannot attend the
party. This Saturday will be my elder sister’s convocation day. I’ll be
going to KL with my parents for her convocation.
Mei Mei : It’s alright, then. It is surely going to be a memorable day for your
family. Do congratulate your sister on my behalf.
June : I’ll convey it to her. Wish you many happy returns of the day and I
hope that it will be a great birthday celebrations.
