Reading between the lines means drawing understanding about the authors ideas from what is written and from what is not written. Making inferences relies on the context clues， logical thinking， common sense and sometimes our knowledge of the world and on what is written or what is not written. Writers dont always express all their thoughts openly， either as a matter of style， or because they assume we know and share their opinions， or because they arent sure how to express themselves. Instructions and requests are about more than just grammar. When you make an instruction or a request， you want someone to do something for you. If you get this important social interaction wrong， you might offend your boss， your friends， or your boyfriend/girlfriend. Some requests show that the person you are speaking to can choose to do as you want. Other ways of speaking indicate that if the request is not followed there will be trouble. But unfortunately， you cant decide to be safe and use only very polite requests. This is because English people sometimes use very polite requests as a way of being sarcastic， which is very rude and offensive. So to learn how not to make these mistakes， you will read the text below.
