Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:01:02 PMHi everyone. Today we're going to talk about hot temperatures and drought. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:01:25 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:01:50 PMIs it hot where you are? It has been pretty warm in Los Angeles lately. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:02:01 PM |
Camille(1106454495) 7:02:21 PMit's warm here |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:02:48 PMWhat temperature is it? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:02:55 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:03:09 PMHere it is 77 degrees Fahrenheit. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:03:18 PM |
Camille(1106454495) 7:03:32 PMthe top degree is 25 |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:03:53 PMCelcius or Fahrenheit? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:04:29 PMHere's our first dialog: "Oh, the heat is unbearable!" Chris: Oh, the heat is unbearable! Didn't you turn on the air-conditioner? Paul: The heat has blown our air-conditioner on the roof! |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:04:55 PMIn China, we use celcius |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:05:21 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:05:34 PMQ. What does unbearable mean? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:05:44 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:06:28 PMHint: to bear means to endure, live with something |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:06:38 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:07:10 PMA. Unbearable means it feels so bad you wish it would just stop. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:07:21 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:07:31 PMQ. If Chris said, “The heat is bearable,” would that mean the heat felt good? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:07:44 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:08:35 PMA. No, it would mean that he can live with the heat because it is not too bad. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:08:47 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:09:03 PMChris: What the...! So, what are we going to do? Paul: We've got to have it fixed as soon as possible. I've called someone and they're on the way. Chris: Thank God! |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:09:20 PMbearable 可以忍受 |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:09:22 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:09:33 PMQ. What does it mean when an English speaker says “What the…?!” |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:09:46 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:10:17 PMA. They are surprised and angered by something. |

Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:10:47 PMSome examples: Nick: I can’t wait to see the movie. Tasha: Uh oh, look at that sign. Nick: What the…?! It’s already sold out? Tasha: The cat knocked all the food on the floor! Nick: What the…?! Bat cat! |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:11:06 PMNick,could you explain "The heat has blown our air-conditioner"? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:11:10 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:11:54 PM"blown" is short for "blown out" that means that it broke |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:12:07 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:12:31 PMThe expression “What the” is often followed by a bad word! |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:12:43 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:12:53 PMQ. Paul said that he had called someone. Who do you think he called? |

Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:13:42 PMA. Paul called a repair man. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:13:51 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:13:55 PMPaul: Here you go. You can use the electric fan here. At least you can catch a breeze. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:14:10 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:14:26 PMQ. “Catch a breeze” means to feel the wind hitting you. What other things can you “catch?” |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:14:42 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:14:52 PMcatch a cold? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:15:21 PMThat's right! You can catch a cold. You can also catch a ride. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:15:34 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:15:38 PMNick, could you explain "sold out" and provide some examples? |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:16:14 PMcatch a cold 得了感冒 |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:16:24 PMSold out is when a store, theater or restaurant has sold all of something, so there are no more, and you can't buy any. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:16:41 PM |

Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:18:11 PMNext dialog:The drought conditions are severe! Anna: Did you hear that? The drought conditions are severe! There's a lot of death, dying, and suffering out there! Rose: I heard that, but it's not surprising actually, 'cause we haven't had as much rain as normal this year. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:18:39 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:18:56 PMQ. What does drought mean? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:19:33 PMA. Drought means that there’s not enough water. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:19:43 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:19:54 PMhow to use it? |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:19:58 PMdrought 干旱 |

Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:21:02 PMExample: We are suffering from drought. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:21:11 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:21:21 PMAnna: Well, if it could rain even a drop, things would be much better! And my flowers in the garden would come back in a heartbeat. Rose: I guess you might have to quit watering your garden. I heard that they are going to start rationing water. In fact, this morning I happened to hear on the radio that the reservoir had dipped below half its capacity this month and the volume of water entering the reservoir is the smallest in fifty years. |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:21:19 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:22:12 PM |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:22:34 PMwhat is the meaning of "come back in a heartbeat" |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:22:35 PM? |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:22:42 PMThis paragragh seems pretty hard |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:22:50 PM“Come back in a heartbeat” means to come back really quickly. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:23:01 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:23:20 PMQ. Are there any words that Rose said that you don’t know? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:23:31 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:24:10 PM"rationing water", " I happened to..." |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:24:15 PMHere's a picture of a reservoir. |
yyyyye2<yyyyye2@hotmail.com> 7:24:23 PMrationing water 节约用水 |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:24:58 PMRationing is to use a limited amount, to save for others and for the future. Example: The government is rationing water. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:25:18 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:25:19 PMmaybe "if it could rain even a drop..." |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:25:57 PMThat means even a little water would help. It's an exaggeration. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:26:09 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:26:48 PM"I happened to hear," means that she heard it by chance. |

Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:28:06 PMAnna: Really! I thought that might happen. Great! There go my vegetables! Rose: I guess so. But think about Africa. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:28:23 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 7:28:38 PMI happened to 我碰巧。。。 |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 7:28:44 PMQ. Why do you think Rose said "think about Africa?" |
