Lesson 16. A polite request.

First listen and then answer the question.

What was the polite request?

If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it.

You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket.

However, this does not always happen.

Traffic police are sometimes very polite.

During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: 'Sir, we welcome you to our city.

This is a "No Parking" area.

You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs.

This note is only a reminder.'

If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!
