爱德华王子(1934169734) 7:01:32 PMgood |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:01:39 PMHere's our first dialog: Janice: I can’t believe I’m turning forty this year! Tom: Yeah, the years fly by really fast! Janice: Well, at least I get to come to my favorite place once a year on my birthday. Let’s order an appetizer! Tom: Sure! It’s your special day. You can get whatever you want. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:02:24 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:02:33 PMQ. Would you ever say “I’m becoming forty” instead of “I’m turning forty”? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:02:47 PM |
爱德华王子(1934169734) 7:03:07 PMno |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:03:34 PMThat's right! No, you would only say “I’m turning forty” or “I’ll be forty.” |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:03:46 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:04:03 PMQ. What does it mean when Tom says “the years fly by”? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:04:14 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:05:15 PMThis is a common phrase that means that time is passing quickly. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:05:28 PM |
Penguin House(1040660342) 7:05:57 PMI see. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:05:59 PMYou can also just say: "Time flies." |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:06:01 PMIn Chinese , we use fly to say time flies by fast too |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:06:07 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:06:08 PMQ. Where do you think Tom and Janice are? What is the setting? |

Penguin House(1040660342) 7:06:56 PMThey were at restaurant. |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 7:07:00 PMRestruant |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:07:18 PMThat's right! They are at a restaurant. How could you tell? |
爱德华王子(1934169734) 7:07:26 PMrestruant |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:07:27 PM |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 7:08:01 PMLet' order an appetizer~ they said |
爱德华王子(1934169734) 7:08:13 PMthen said it |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:08:19 PMThat's right, Janice wants an appetizer. That's a small dish you share with others before the main meal. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:08:32 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:09:02 PMHere's the first part of the next dialog: Patty: I’m really excited for Aunt Mary’s surprise birthday party this afternoon! Aren’t you? Susan: Yeah! How old is she? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:09:39 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:09:53 PM• I’m really excited… Notice the emphasis on “really.” “Really” is used to emphasize the adjective “excited” here. Q. What other words could Patty use with excited? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:10:14 PM |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 7:10:37 PMPatty? |
Camille(1106454495) 7:10:52 PMPretty |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:11:13 PMsuper ? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:11:16 PMThat's good. She could say "I'm pretty excited." |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 7:11:20 PMVery |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:11:24 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:11:34 PMPatty is the person's name |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:11:41 PMVery and super are also good choices. |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 7:11:46 PMI see |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:11:49 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:11:58 PMHere's a few more: I’m very excited… This means the same as “really excited.” I’m kind of excited… I’m a little bit excited… Here she is not very excited, but just a little excited. I’m actually excited… I’m surprisingly excited… Here she is surprised that she is excited. She thought she would not be excited, but she is! |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:12:31 PM |
爱德华王子(1934169734) 7:12:44 PMI see |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:13:34 PMPatty: She’ll be 55 on May 14th [fourteenth]. Susan: Wow! I didn’t know that my mom was older — she’s going to be 57 on September 2nd [second]. Anyway, Aunt Mary’s going to be so surprised to see us all here! Patty: I know! But we still have to get all the food set up before she gets here… OK, we’re all ready now. Shh! She’s here! All: Surprise! |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:14:01 PMShe thought she would not be excited, but she is! 她以为她不会很兴奋。 但实际上她很兴奋 |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:14:09 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:14:40 PM• Aren’t you? This negative tag is used to show that the speaker expects a positive answer. Patty assumes that Susan is also looking forward to the party. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:14:59 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:15:22 PMSaying “Aren’t you?” or “Didn’t you?” shows that you expect the person to say yes, or you want them to say yes. It can be pushy or bossy if you use it too much. Like if I said to Nick “You washed the dishes, didn’t you?” |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:15:48 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:16:03 PMQ. What does "pushy" mean? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:16:14 PM |
Camille(1106454495) 7:16:57 PMAnnoyed |
Penguin House(1040660342) 7:17:20 PMforced |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:17:37 PMDo you mean annoying? Forced is closer.. A pushy person is someone that always tries to get other people to do what they want. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:17:53 PM |
Camille(1106454495) 7:18:20 PMOk |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:18:28 PMHere's an example: Tasha: Aren't you going to clean the room? Nick: Um... |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:18:38 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:18:52 PMQ. What would it mean if Patty said “Are you?” instead of “Aren’t you?” |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:19:06 PM |
Penguin House(1040660342) 7:19:55 PMMay you please do something ? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:20:30 PMThat's right! She would be asking nicely. Not asking in a pushy way. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:20:41 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:21:10 PMAlso, she doesn't expect that Susan will go. She doesn't know for sure if she will or not. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:21:20 PM |
爱德华王子(1934169734) 7:21:53 PMok |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:22:26 PMLet's review how to talk about dates. What date is the birthday party? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:22:36 PM |
Penguin House(1040660342) 7:23:13 PMMay 14th |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:23:41 PMThat's right! |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:24:42 PMLet's go on to the last dialog: Linda: Hey! How did your physics exam go? Frank: Not bad, thanks. I’m just glad it’s over! How about you…how’d your presentation go? Linda: Oh, it went really well. Thanks for helping me with it! Frank: No problem. So…do you feel like studying tomorrow for our math exam? Linda: Yeah, sure! Come over around 10 o’clock, after breakfast. Frank: All right. I’ll bring my notes. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:25:13 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:25:41 PM• How did your physics exam go? is a way of saying “How was your physics exam?” This is like when people ask “How’s it going?” instead of “How are you?” |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:25:59 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:26:25 PMQ. What are some informal greetings you could use instead of "hey"? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:26:34 PM |
Camille(1106454495) 7:27:17 PMExcuse me |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:27:35 PMhello |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 7:27:45 PMHi |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:28:07 PMExcuse me is used to get attention. Not as a greeting. Hello is slightly formal. Hi! What’s up? are informal greetings. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:28:24 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:28:42 PM• I’m just glad… Notice the stress on “glad.” “Just” is used for emphasis before an adjective here. Q. What other words could you put before “glad”? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:28:59 PM |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 7:29:30 PMVery |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 7:29:37 PMSo |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:29:55 PMThat's good! I'm very glad! I’m so glad! I’m really glad… I’m actually glad… |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:30:07 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:30:31 PM• “Do you feel like…” here has the meaning of “do you want to.” Notice “do you feel like” is followed by an “-ing” verb (studying). Let’s make some more “Do you feel like…?” questions. I’ll start. Do you feel like going to the park? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:30:55 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:31:19 PMHere's the model: Do you feel like...-ing? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:32:17 PMDo you feel like swimming? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:32:23 PM |
爱德华王子(1934169734) 7:32:50 PMDo you feel like sleeping |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:33:10 PMGood. Don't forget your question mark at the end though. |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:33:19 PMToday, we went over some useful English phrases and how we use them properly - being nice or being pushy? Hopefully you had fun learning today. |
