Asking For and Showing Attention.

When you want to inform something to someone, such as giving information, explanation or telling a story, you need to attract your listeners’ attention.  You can do that by asking questions.  As the listener, you also have to show your attention to the speaker. Paying attention also a sign of respect.



Here I’ll share some expression asking for and showing attention.

Asking for attention
  • Can I have your attention, please?
  • Excuse me, I wonder if I could trouble you ….
  • May I have your attention, please?
  • Sorry to trouble/bother you.
  • Look at me!
  • Hey, Look what I’ve got here.
  • Attention, please!
  • Excuse me!

Showing attention
  • That’s alright
  • I see. – Tell me more about it.
  • Oh, yes. – Really?
  • Oh, my God! What happens next?
  • A ha… – And then what?
  • How interesting! – What’s next?
  • I know what you mean. – Is that all?
  • Well, well, well… – Oh, no!




      

Dialog Example:

Teacher : Hello class, Can I have your attention, please?
