In this lesson, we will learn how to disagree politely with someone.

C’mon Sam. Didn’t you get my email?

I get your emails every day, Mr. Harrison.

I’ve emailed you about John. He’s the one who checks the reports now.

I am extremely sorry, but I didn’t get that email.

Please check your inbox again.

I check it all the time. I’m quite sure that I didn’t get that email from you.

Huh...You sure of that?

I am quite sure.

Well, let me check my email again!

Mr. Banner, please pay more attention when you park your car next time.

Did I do something wrong, Mrs. Parker?

Yes! You ran over my vases!

Mrs. Parker, I think there’s some mistake. Look, your vases are too far from my driveway. I really don’t think I did it.

Then who broke my vases?

Let me ask Jimmy if he was playing around here.

Well, Ok. I saw our Frank playing here with him! They were playing with the dogs here!

Julia, I bought two tickets to the rock show.

That’s great. Who else is going?

Who else? You!

Oh! Lynda, why didn’t you tell me before?

What’s the difference? C’mon! Get ready! Fast.

I’m afraid I can’t do it. I didn’t know and made other plans…

You’re not going?

Lynda, please don’t be upset, Ok? I’ll go next time, I promise!

Julia, you got home very late last night.

C’mon, dad. Are you kidding? It was only 11pm!

Yes, but it was a school night. I saw you were late for school this morning.

Dad, I’m already sixteen, and I didn’t go to the first class because it’s easy.

Well, Julia, I do not want you getting home that late on a school night,

and I definitely do not want you skipping classes, no matter what! Is that clear?

But, dad…I know what I’m doing!

I’m sure you think you do, honey, but right now, I make the decisions.

It’s not fair! I get good grades!

Right. I’m very proud of you. And I want it to continue that way.

I am extremely sorry, but I didn’t get that email.

I check it all the time. I’m quite sure that I didn’t get that email from you.

Did I do something wrong, Mrs. Parker?

I think there’s some mistake.

I really don’t think I did it.

Why didn’t you tell me before?

I’m afraid I can’t do it.

Are you kidding?

I know what I’m doing!
