At some point in your life, you will need to ask someone for a favor(帮助), whether it’s at your workplace, at home or in a social setting. If you need a guy to help you with something, there are ways to approach him that will help you ask for that favor.
Find the right guy to ask for a favor. 16 .For example, if you need someone to look after your house while you are away for a month, don’t select a guy who has a wife and kids and can’t possibly leave them to do you the favor.
17 .Even if it’s a small favor, try to find a place that has some privacy(私密性). This is especially important if you’re asking for a favor that you don’t want someone else to hear, such as borrowing money from him.
Use special words to set the table so that he knows you’re in need. 18.Or words such as “I really need your help” are OK. These words give him the chance to understand that he can be of help.
Ask for help in a clear way that expresses what you need, the reason why you need it, and more importantly, the parameters(限定因素) of the favor. For example, if you’re asking him to take you to the airport, tell him when you need him to arrive. If you’re borrowing money from him, say the amount and the reason why you need the money. 19.
Ask for help in such a way that you give him the chance to refuse. 20.If you don’t give him that choice, he may feel as if it’s something he has to do instead of something he wants to do.
A. Find the right place to ask him.
B. Be a kind person who always helps others.
C. The guy must have the ability to help you.
D. Besides, you should tell him when you will give it back.
E. You can say, “I’m really in trouble. Can you help me?”
F. It can be difficult to find the right words to tell what you need.
G. Make it clear that you completely understand if he can’t help you.
