Student B1: Would you mind not coming to class late?
Student B 2: Would you mind talking softly?
Student A 2: Would you mind not talking loudly?
(When a student from Team A makes a statement, a student from Team B says a sentence that means almost the same thing, but uses opposite language. A team gets a point each time a
team member says a correct opposite sentence.)

III. 注释
Culture notes:
1. Pronunciation note
The way you say the words when making a request or apologizing makes a big difference. If you say, Would you MIND not sitting there? (Saying the word mind very loudly )the request does not sound polite. It sounds angry. IN the same way, if you say, I’m SORRY. I’ll do it right away( saying the word sorry very loudly), the apology does not sound real. It sounds like you are not sorry at all.
2. Do you have a collection? Many people begin collecting something when they are young and keep it up for their entire lives. Stamps are a common thing to collect and a good collection of stamps can be both educational an valuable. But people who keep things because they think they will some day be valuable are often disappointed. Almost anything is fun to collect because a collection shows variations on an idea. Most collectors are interested in the differences between their objects. A collector of chopsticks in Shanghai now has his own museum. Other people collect more unusual things . For example, Prince Charles of England collects old toilets.
3. People in some cultures feel it is impolite to complain openly about a problem. Instead, these people try to solve the problem quietly for themselves, or they speak softly and politely to the other person. People in some other cultures feel it is normal to complain when there is a problem and they try to solve it quickly and directly. Ask students which type of culture they think theirs is. If their culture uses the quieter approach, contrast this with the direct approach that is common in the United States. What are the advantages of each approach?
