  • Hi guys, let me share a recent experience with you, so I was invited for this party

  • by another friend of mine but I didn't want to go alone, so I requested my best friend

  • Rachel to tag along, but she was just not ready and I told her, ‘please will you come

  • with me to the party, I don't want to go’, and she was like, ‘I'll try’, I said,

  • please come, I don't want to go without youand she was like, ‘okay’. So a

  • small wordpleasecould help me convince her to join me for the party. And today I

  • have many such phrases that can help you convince other people for what you want them to do.

  • So keep watching this lesson to convince people for what you want them to do and my name is

  • Michelle I'm your tutor for today.

  • In this lesson today we are going to look at phrases

  • to convince people. Convincing can also be replaced by another word and that is, ‘persuading’.

  • So if you want to convince someone you could also say that you want to persuade them to

  • do something. So this is the first word that I have for you in this lesson a synonym for

  • convincing is persuading. Now let's go ahead with persuading people to do what we want

  • them to do. The first one that we have is, “it might be a good idea”. Yes, this is

  • a very polite and gentle way to ask someone to do something for you. So this is a polite

  • way. So let me give you an example of this phrase, ‘it might be a good idea’. So

  • if you're driving, sorry if you're going somewhere with your husband and you see that he's quite

  • tired, so you suggest that you should be driving, how would you say that? You could use this

  • phrase and say that, “it might be a good idea if you let me drive from now on, you

  • look a bit tired”, and sometimes you can replace this phrase by saying, ‘it might

  • be a better idea’, so here you are comparing, you could say that it might be a better idea,

  • so good is also correct and better is also correct, you could use any of these. ‘It

  • might be a better idea if you let me drive on from here, because you look a bit tired’,

  • so this is how you use the first phrase to convince someone politely over a very general

  • matter. Now we look at the next phrase, “why don't you think about…” so this phrase

  • is a very direct phrase, it's usually used to put your point across very clearly, so

  • this is a very direct phrase. So I have this friend of mine who was planning a vacation

  • for two weeks to Thailand and she told me I'm planning a vacation in December to Thailand

  • for two weeks, and I told her, “why don't you think about a vacation for three weeks,

  • after all the third week is a holiday week because of Christmas”, so here I'm using,

  • why don't you think about’, to convince her to take a three weeks holiday so that

  • she can enjoy more, because I think it's a better idea, so this is a direct phrase to

  • put my point across. Sometimes, you can use another phrase which is, “have you ever

  • thought about…?” So I have this another friend, who's a really good counsellor, which

  • means that whenever I'm in a problem, I go up to her, she gives me some really useful

  • advices, so I told her, “have you ever thought about becoming a counselor, you'll do a great

  • job”, so here again I'm convincing her in a very direct way maybe to take up another

  • career, sometimes it can just be a compliment. So this is another way, ‘have you ever thought

  • about…?’ So using these two phrases you can convince someone very directly or you

  • can give a suggestion to someone. So these two phrases can be used either for conveying

  • your message directly or for suggesting something. Okay, now we look at the third phrase and

  • which is the simplest and the most informal phrase, we use it every day for different

  • purposes, even to you know, get something done for ourselves. So actually most of you

  • have already been using this phrase, but just to let you know, this is one of the best and

  • the most informal way to convince someone. So this is an informal way to convince someone

  • and you can use, “pleasealmost anywhere, if you ask someone to get a glass of water

  • for you then you could be like, “please can you get me a glass of water?” But here

  • you're making a request, so that's the difference you can use please for various purposes, you

  • can use it to make requests and you can also use it to convince someone, for example I

  • used, ‘pleasewith my friend to come along or with me for the party, so I told

  • her, “please can you come with me to the party? I don't want to go without you.”

  • Here I was using it to convince her. Now we look at the next one, “go on”. So when

  • we ask someone togo on’, we are asking them to try something again. So you're convincing

  • someone to try something again, I'll just give you an example, I’ll write it for you

  • first, to ask someone to try something again. So if you have a friend, who appeared for

  • IELTS and let's say she got the band score 6.5, but she wanted seven as her band score,

  • so you can tell her, “go ontry again, you almost did it the last time, you just

  • need 0.5 band more, so please try again.” So here you can usego onto encourage

  • someone to try something again. So here you're convincing as well as encouraging. We have

  • another alternative togo on’, which isgo for it”. ‘Go for itis not

  • used to ask someone to try something again, it's usually used to ask someone to try something

  • at least once. For example, if you get a really nice job opportunity you shouldn't miss it,

  • so you could say, “hey, you must go for it, you won't get such an opportunity again.”

  • So here you're asking someone to try something at least once. So these are also very polite

  • ways to convince someone to do something that you think is right for them. Alright, now

  • we look at the next one, and from here on we are going to look at some stronger ways

  • of convincing someone, these were some very polite, ways and now we will look at some

  • strong ways, so this one is, “we'd really like you to…” Sowe'd’ is short for

  • we did?’ mm-hmm no, ‘we would.’ So we would really like you to do something.

  • This is usually used when you want to convince someone strongly, so let's say that you're

  • going for a vacation and your daughter tells you that, “mom, dad I can't join you because

  • of etc. etc. reasonmaybe because it's my best friend's birthday that month, so I

  • can't come for a vacation with you. You don't like that reason, it's not valid enough, so

  • you could say in a very strong manner, you could tell her, “we'd really like you to

  • come to France with us.” So here you're strongly convincing her to come with you.

  • So this is, strongly convincing someone. Okay now we look at the next phrase which is, just

  • one more thing, you could also say, “I'd really like to…” in certain cases, if

  • you're only considering yourself. Now the next one that we have is, “I think you should…”

  • Now this is a very direct and strong, definitely strong but a very direct way of asking someone

  • to do something. So here you're not trying to be very polite, you're not trying to hide

  • something, you're just telling something very directly. So if someone has had a bad experience

  • at work and they're telling you how hard it is for them to work in the same company or

  • in the same office where they are having some really bad experiences, you could say that,

  • “I think you should forget about what happened, and you should get on your job very seriously.”

  • So here you're strongly and directly telling someone to do something. So, ‘I think you

  • should…’ is a very direct way and you're not trying to hide anything. With this we

  • look at the next one, “I'd prefer if you didn't…” Okay, so this one is used when

  • you are kind of forcefully telling someone to not do something, so you know, maybe someone

  • at your house or guest or someone is sitting over the sofa with their feet on the sofa,

  • and maybe you don't like it, so if you want to be polite, but still strong and forceful

  • in a way that they actually put their feet down, you could say, “I'd prefer if you

  • put your feet off the sofa.” So this is a slightly forceful way, as if you're ordering

  • someone to do something. Now we look at the last one, “I'd appreciate it”. Now this

  • phrase is used, I'm sorry, this phrase is used, when you are annoyed with the way someone

  • is behaving, so if you have a guest at home and they are putting all their garbage, taking

  • it out from their bag and putting it in your bin and you don't like it, you're like, what

  • are they doing? It’s so messy, and you'd be like, “I'd appreciate it if you would

  • stop putting your garbage in our binor you're rubbish in our bin. So this is how

  • you use this phrase for a time when you're really annoyed with someone, annoyed means

  • when you're very angry with somebody for something, okay? So here we are and we have looked at

  • quite a few phrases, these are some polite phrases and these are some strong phrases,

  • there's one more thing that I want you to consider, that is that the first few phrases

  • that we have read until here, are to ask someone to do something, whereas the last two phrases

  • are to ask someone to not do something. So this is how we have learned different ways

  • of persuading people, which means to convince people. So make sure that you use these phrases,

  • when you try to convince people next time and I hope that you bear good results. Do

  • share with me if you have any such experiences in the past or you will have any such experiences

  • in the future in the comments below. Thank you so much for having me with you bye-bye

  • and take care.
