This document provides guidance on how to effectively ask for help from others. It begins by listing phrases that can be used to politely request assistance. Examples include "Can you help me for a second?" and "I need some help, please." The document then presents hypothetical scenarios where asking for help would be necessary, such as needing money to call a family member for a ride or experiencing issues with an ATM. It encourages discussing scenarios in groups and role-playing how to request help in those situations. Participants are instructed to record and share their role-plays so others can evaluate the most effective requests.
