A study of request strategies used in the speech act of apology;

Chinese advanced English learners are able to produce both grammatically and pragmatically appropriate requests in English,but the data shows that they tend to make a large proportion of direct and explicit requests in English to their peers through emails with CCARP as the framework for data analysis.

For obvious social reasons,“requests”are the kind of illocutionary speech act which are more likely to be performed in a polite manner.
