Step 1 : Introduction to the question "5. How would you say "Lend me your ears" today?"
...1. Can I borrow some money 2. Listen to me 3. I need some corn to plant 4. I'm going to cut off your ears I want to tell you something. Could you listen a moment? It's as simple as that. A version of this can be seen in the Bard's play "Julius Caesar", where Mark Antony is addressing the crowd following the assassination of Caesar. "Friends, Romans, countrymen" he cries, "Lend me your ears". I'm sure you'll agree that sounds so much more powerful than "Listen up, you lot" or "Ladies and gentlemen, could I have your attention please".
