LANGUAGE FOCUS

Asking for Confirmation of understanding

Appropriate Intonation

Even when you have heard and understood every word, it is still sometimes difficult to know exactly what a speaker means. In this case, you should ask the speaker for confirmation of your understanding. A good way to do this is to state what you heard in your own words and then ask if you understood correctly. To confirm that you have understood without insulting the speaker, you must ask your questions carefully. Your intonation can make you sound either cooperative or competitive, polite or insulting. When you are sincere and are asking a genuine question, your tone will sound cooperative and polite to the listener. However, if you use a sarcastic tone, you will sound competitive or even insulting.

LANGUAGE FOCUS

Asking for Confirmation to Challenge Excuses

People often give excuses that are not true for something they forgot or did not want to do. The listener may challenge or question the excuse using the same expressions in the Focus Box on asking for confirmation of understanding.

Consider this example:

Student: I’m sorry. I don’t have my homework because my dog ate it.

Teacher: I’m not sure I understand. Do you mean to say that your dog likes to eat paper?

Student: well. Yes, he does, actually. He has some sort of vitamin deficiency, I think.

Notice how the teacher challenges the student. She doesn’t actually say the student is lying, but it is clear that she suspects this. When you challenge a speaker, you may not always get the truth. By asking for confirmation in a gentle tone of voice, however, you may be able to politely get the truth.

3. You go to a dinner party at a friend’s house and see that all the other guests have brought a dish of food with them. You show up empty-handed.
