Have you ever seen such as picture above? I think no haha.  Because if you want to pick your friend or family up at airport, you usually write down their name, not your own name :D But the picture above is include to GAINING ATTENTION.

o Gaining attention is attitude to show or ask attention from the other people

o  The purpose is to find attention so that the other people pay attention

-          May I have your attention, please?

-          Excuse me

-          Look at me

-          Listen to me, please

o   To show affection or give attention to somebody we can use:

-          Are you alright/O.K.?

-          What’s wrong with you?

-          Do you?

-          Are you?
