#52 - Saying Excuse Me Do's and Don'ts

Saying "Excuse Me" - Do's & Don'ts

> You Do

Say, "Excuse me," when you have to interrupt someone, like the librarian at your school who may be reading a book (that's what librarians do), to ask where the old National Geographic magazines are located.

> You Don't

Just stand around and wait fifteen minutes, hoping the librarian will finally notice you standing there.

> Why

It is perfectly all right to ask a question. "Excuse me" was invented for moments like this - when you need to get some one's attention.
