Gary’s Tips:
Larry: Gary’s Tips.

UPBEAT MUSIC

 

 

Eliz: Now it’s time for Gary’s Tips with Gary Engleton!
Gary: Hello, Elizabeth! Today I’ll be talking about asking for permission. Eliz: Asking for permission?
Gary: Yes. Sometimes you need to ask if it is OK to do something.
You need to ask permission.
One of the most polite ways to ask permission is to ask “Do you mind...?”
In today’s first Business Dialogue, Jennifer asks Bill if it is OK for her to sit down:

Jennifer: Do you mind if I sit here?
Bill: Not at all! Please do.
Gary: Bill gives her permission to sit down using the negative expression “No, not at all.”
Eliz: Why does he use a negative expression? Why doesn’t he say Yes?
Gary: Well, “Do you mind?” means “Does it bother you?” So your answer “No, not at all,” means “No, it doesn’t bother me.”
Eliz: That can be a little confusing.
Gary: Yes. It can be confusing. So it is good to say something more to make your meaning clear. In this case, Bill says “Please do.” In other words, “Please sit here.” Let’s listen again:

 

 

Jennifer: Do you mind if I sit here? Bill: No, not at all! Please do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eliz: He gives her permission to sit there.
Gary: That’s right. When Bill asks Jennifer if it is OK to smoke, he also uses the expression “Do you mind?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bill: Do you mind if I smoke? Jennifer: No, I don’t mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gary: She says “No, I don’t mind.” Her negative answer means that it is OK for him to smoke; she doesn’t mind. (pause)
Gary: Now let’s listen to the second Business Dialog. Augusto is on an airplane.
He asks the woman sitting next to him if it is OK to smoke.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Augusto: Do you mind if I smoke? Mary: Well, yes. Actually, I do mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gary: She doesn’t want him to smoke.
In this case, Yes means “Yes, I do mind if you smoke. Yes, it will bother me.” She makes her meaning very clear by saying “Actually, I do mind.”

I hope today’s tips were helpful! Thanks for joining us today for Gary’s Tips. We’ll see you again next time!
Eliz: Thanks Gary!

Eliz: Well, our time is up. Tune in again next time for Functioning in Business. See you then!
