อยากสอบถามอาจารย์เพื่อยืนยันคำตอบจากเฉลยของแบบประเมินผลหลังเรียน Module 10

1. Match opening sentence with closing sentence

Opening Sentence: Thanks so much for the gorgeous present. It's exactly the bag that I wanted--how did you know?
a. Just a quick note to say I really love it
b. How nice of you to give me the bag!
c. Thanks again for the gift, and give my regards to your family
d. Thanks for the gift, and I'm looking forward to it.
e. Thanks so much for the present. My thanks also go to your family

ข้อนี้หนูตอบ c แต่เฉลย e ก็เลย งงว่าทำไมต้องไปขอบคุณครอบครัวเขาด้วย?

3. Which expression is most suitable in writing an inquiry asking for some document?
a. Can you send me your catalogue?
b. Please send me your catalogue.
c. Do you send me your catalogue?
d. Send to me your catalogue.
e. Would you be kind enough to send me the catalogue?

ข้อนี้หนูตอบ b แต่เฉลย e. ก็รู้สึกว่ามันแปลกๆ นะคะ

รบกวนอาจารย์ชี้แนะด้วยค่ะ
ขอบคุณค่ะ

For Item 1, the answer should definitely be ‘c’. For Item 3, choice ‘e’ is more indirect than ‘a’ or ‘b’, and therefore more polite. That’s why it’s better in this context. However, in practice you could also use the others, as long as you indicate that you want to be polite/considerate in general.

According to 'The Email Information in Detail', Page 161.

KISS principle (Keep It Short and Simple)
It said we should use 'please' instead of 'we would like to ask you to..'
Therefore, I thought the answer b is correct.
Maybe I misunderstood ka.

Thank you for your rapid reply as always.

ขอบคุณทุกคำตอบนะครับ เป็นแบบการประเมินที่ดีมากๆครับ
