Note 1: A request ends with a rising intonation. “Please” makes your
request more polite and it comes at the beginning or the end.
Note 2: “Will you/ Can you” are more used between friends and family to
make a simple request. “Would you/ Could you” are used amongst friends when the request is more demanding, and with strangers.
