Global English Lesson 1 Canceling an appointment Canceling an appointment.
4
It's really a common situation.
5
Sometimes you have an appointment at a doctor or at work and you have to cancel it.
6
So, we are going to have some great language to help you cancel an appointment.
7
So, let's listen to a dialogue,
8
where John and Mary have a phone conversation and Mary is trying to cancel an appointment.
9
This conversation is going to be a little fast,
10
but after you listen to the conversation,
11
I would be explaining you all the great vocabulary.
12
Alright, let's listen to the conversation.
13
Dialogue.
14
Hello.
15
John speaking.
16
Hi John.
17
This is Mary calling.
18
Oh, hi Mary.
19
What's up?
20
I'm just calling about our meeting today.
21
I wonder, is it possible to reschedule our appointment in the afternoon?
22
I have a bit of an emergency that I need to take care of.
23
Let me see.
24
Well, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
25
I'm really sorry.
26
I hope it doesn't inconvenience you too much.
27
It's just this thing came up.
28
Mary, you know what?
29
I can't make it to our meeting either.
30
Why don't we postpone it to tomorrow afternoon at the same time?
31
Sounds great.
32
See you tomorrow.
33
Well, you heard some really interesting words in the dialogue.
34
Come let's review them in our next section, vocabulary review.
35
Vocabulary review.
36
In vocabulary review, I am bringing you three words.
37
The first word is, reschedule.
38
To reschedule.
39
So what does it mean?
40
Well, when you reschedule something,
41
for example an appointment as you heard in the dialogue,
42
It means, you are changing it to another time or day.
43
Okay, the second word we have is, inconvenience.
44
So to inconvenience someone means,
45
making things not convenient for that person.
46
Or you can say, to make things a little difficult,
47
or a little uncomfortable for that person.
48
Our next word is postpone.
49
To postpone.
50
We have some examples for the word postpone that will help you understand its meaning a little better.
51
Let's listen.
52
Example 1 Since Ram is late again,
53
we have to postpone the meeting.
54
Example 2 I am sorry Rajna,
55
our vacation is postponed until next month due to an emergency at work.
56
So, basically postpone is to delay.
57
Or you can say, to plan something at a later time.
58
Okay, some great words there.
59
We can now listen to some of the phrases we heard in the dialogue in our next section, Fluency Adder.
60
So, we have three great phrases for you from this dialogue.
61
Let's listen to them.
62
The first phrase is, What's up?
63
So, what do you mean by, What's up?
64
What's up?
65
This is a very common way of saying, Hi.
66
Or you can say what's going on.
67
The interesting thing is, many people don't know how to answer this phrase.
68
Well, I see this all the time with my students.
69
So, when someone says what's up,
70
you should say, Not much,
71
or nothing much, or just nothing.
72
Alright, now you know when someone tell you, what's up?
73
You know the answer.
74
Our second phrase is, can't make it, I can't make it.
75
We use this phrase, when we want to say,
76
I cannot attend, or I can't come.
77
If for example someone tells you to attend a party at 7 in the evening,
78
you can say, I can't make it.
79
Let's move on to our third phrase.
80
This thing came up.
81
Well, this is a nice way of giving an excuse for why you can't make it.
82
Or you can say, because of something happened,
83
you cannot come or attend.
84
Let's look at some examples on how to use this phrase.
85
Example 1.
86
I am sorry I am late.
87
Something came up at work and I had to stay back to take care.
88
Example 2.
89
I will have to go now.
90
Something came up.
91
Well, some great examples.
92
And I think it is clear how to use this phrase.
93
So, that's the end of our today's lesson.
94
I hope you found this lesson useful and learned how to cancel an appointment if you cannot make it.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
在现代工作环境中，流利的英语口语对于非母语者来说至关重要。通过本视频，“取消预约”的场景，我们不仅学习到如何处理日常对话，还能提高自信心和沟通能力。这段对话倡导了适应性和灵活性，尤其是在处理工作中的突发情况时。学习这些常用短语和表达方式，能让你在工作中更加游刃有余。同时，运用“英语影子跟读”方法，模仿对话者的语调和发音，可以有效提升口语能力。
语法与表达在上下文中的应用
视频中的对话提供了以下几个重要的语法结构和表达方式：
- Reschedule（重新安排）: “I wonder, is it possible to reschedule our appointment in the afternoon?” 这个句子展示了如何礼貌地请求重新安排一个预约。
- Inconvenience（使不便）: “I hope it doesn’t inconvenience you too much.” 通过这个句子，我们体会到如何表示对对方可能造成的影响的关心。
- Postpone（推迟）: “Why don’t we postpone it to tomorrow afternoon?” 这种表达简单明了，用于提议改变计划的时间。
- Making excuses（找借口）: “It’s just this thing came up.” 这个短语展示了在工作中如何表达突发情况。
掌握这些表达可以帮助你在各种工作场景中更加自信地沟通，尤其是在进行“雅思口语练习”时，将这些结构嵌入到你的对话中，能够让你的语言更显自然。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，有些词语的发音可能会让学习者感到棘手。以下是一些常见的发音陷阱：
- Reschedule: 这个词的重音在第二节音节上，注意不要将重音错误地放在第一个音节。
- Inconvenience: 注意此词的音节划分，可能会在发音时加快速度而忽略了中间部分的清晰度。
- Postpone: 确保在“post”与“pone”之间发出清晰的界限，以避免连音现象。
学习时候，使用“shadowspeaks”方法进行发音练习，可以有效帮助你克服这些发音障碍，从而“提高英语发音”。通过模仿与练习，你的口语能力定能快速提升。
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。
