63

64
Thanks, bye -bye.
65
Bye.
66
Thank you.
67
Okay, let's pause here and go through a few words from the dialogue that might be new for you.
68
An appointment is an arrangement or a plan to meet someone at a certain time.
69
Pay attention to the prepositions we use with appointment.
70
You make an appointment with someone for something Date of birth.
71
This is just your birthday.
72
Oftentimes in forms, you will see it written as D -O -B.
73
I said my birthday a few different ways here.
74
First, I said the 25th of March, 1993.
75
And later, I say 3 /25 /93.
76
Don't forget, in the US, we oftentimes have the month, First, then the day, then the year.
77
Insurance provider.
78
An insurance provider is a company that you have a contract with
79
who you pay monthly to help take care or pay for any medical issues you might have,
80
such as an accident or a doctor's appointment.
81
There are many different insurance providers or insurance companies out there.
82
There are a lot of different kinds of insurance as well.
83
You could have car insurance, health insurance, or homeowners insurance.
84
Confirmation.
85
This is just a statement, either written or verbal, showing that an appointment or an arrangement will occur.
86
For example, when you order something online,
87
you usually get a confirmation email to show that the item has been purchased.
88
A confirmation can also be to prove that something is true.
89
For example, in the second phone conversation, I had to confirm my birth date so that the person on the other end of the phone
90
Knew it was really me talking. On file.
91
A file is a folder.
92
with documents with information inside about something or someone.
93
At my doctor's office, there is a file with my name and my information on it, so that when I make an appointment or go see the doctor,
94
they already know my health history and contact information.
95
They keep all of this information.
96
on file Scheduled for.
97
If something is scheduled, it's planned for a particular time.
98
It's a plan that you can write in your schedule or your daily planner.
99
I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for Friday.
100
reschedule for This just means to move a scheduled appointment to a different time.
101
I rescheduled my doctor's appointment for next Friday.
102
Something has come up.
103
If something has come up, that just means that something happened that stopped you or prevented you from doing something.
104
For example: I wanted to meet you for dinner tonight, but something came up and I have to work late.
105
fee A fee is an amount of money that you pay for a service.
106
In this case, I asked if I needed to pay a rescheduling fee.
107
That would be a payment for the service of canceling my appointment and finding another appointment for me in the future.
108
Oftentimes, if you have to cancel an appointment within 24 hours of when your appointment should be, you'll have to pay a rescheduling fee.
109
Okay, so let's watch that dialogue one more time, but this time without subtitles.
110
Listen closely.

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
