Hey, Michelle, how's it going? Hey, Lindsay, I'm doing well. Lindsay, if someone offered you a free vacation, would you accept? A free vacation? Yes, please. That's what I thought. Oh, my gosh. Wouldn't that be the greatest? Especially now. Oh, my gosh. Well, right now when this episode is coming out, we're getting into summertime. So I would be on that boat or that airplane right away. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. So yes, please. So today we're going to talk about how and when to say yes, please, but with an enthusiastic tone. So it could even sound a little bit theatrical. Yep. If that's in your personality, you know, we can take it to that level. This is great for connection because there's more emotion behind this than just saying yes, right?
How boring is yes? yes exactly and so people can feel that energy and get excited with you so talking about the vacation the free vacation free vacation yes please right it's just more like it's more interesting than saying oh a free vacation yeah of course right exactly exactly so guys go ahead and hit that follow button before we get any deeper into this episode if you want more all ears English the response should be yes please right exactly Exactly. That's what we want you to say by the time you finish the episode. Continue to listen. Let these episodes drop into your listening queue. That is what happens when you hit the follow button on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. They'll show up for you. So you don't have to go looking for us.
We're out five days a week. So you don't want to miss a single episode. Exactly. Exactly. So, all right. So this phrase is all about tone. I mean, you probably are very familiar with just being polite and saying, yes, please. So I mean, this would be kind of a normal humdrum tone. So, for example, Lindsay, do you need a tissue? Yes, please. Right. So this is a lot more. That's a very different tone. Right. Very different. Right. So but if you're talking about something exciting like the vacation, you could say it more dramatically. So it's kind of like saying absolutely. So exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I'll ask you, Michelle, do you want chocolate chip cookies?
What can listeners expect from the B2 English Fluency course?
Yes, please. That was a good one for you because I know you love cookies. Yeah, I do. Cookies are my favorite. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the truth is we don't only use this phrase to answer someone else's questions. We often use it to answer our own questions. Yes. Very interesting. Yes. Those are really interesting. Yeah. So, oops, sorry. When we do this, we're usually commenting on something that we like or something that we want. So, let's do like a sample situation could be like, oh, you arrive at a fancy hotel and then you see a sign, oh, this is the greatest hotel.
