Hello English learners and welcome back to EnglishPod.
2
My name is Marco.
3
And I'm Erica.
4
How are you Erica?
5
Marco I'm doing really well today.
6
You're excited?
7
Uh-huh, we've got a great lesson for everyone.
8
Yes, we have a really common situation where we're gonna use real English, right?
9
Yep, everyday English.
10
English that people really use.
11
And that's what we want you to learn.
12
What are we talking about today specifically?
13
Today we have a really common situation that is a little bit embarrassing.
14
Alright, an embarrassing situation, so let's listen to the dialogue for the first time and it's gonna be kind of fast.
15
Yeah, but don't worry if you don't understand everything, because after 10 minutes, you'll understand everything.
16
Perfect, alright, let's listen.
17
Nick, how's it going?
18
Oh, hey.
19
What are you doing in this neighborhood?
20
Do you live around here?
21
Actually, my office is right around the corner.
22
It was great to meet you last week at the conference.
23
I really enjoyed our conversation about foreign investment.
24
Yeah, yeah, it was really interesting.
25
You know, I'm in a bit of a hurry, but here's my card.
26
We should definitely meet up again and continue our discussion.
27
Sure, you still have my contact details, right?
28
You know what?
29
This is really embarrassing, but your name has just slipped my mind.
30
Can you remind me?
31
Sure.
32
My name is Anna Faris.
33
Don't worry about it.
34
It happens to me all the time.
35
I'm terrible with names, too.
36
Wow, Nick forgot her name.
37
Yeah, that's happened to me a couple of times, and I'm going to tell you about it a little bit later.
38
Okay.
39
All right.
40
Well, let's start with our three language takeaways.
41
Language takeaway.
42
So our first word on our language takeaway is in a bit of a hurry.
43
In a bit of a hurry.
44
In a bit of a hurry.
45
In a bit of a hurry.
46
So Nick was in a hurry.
47
Yeah, that's right.
48
This is a great phrase.
49
So let's listen to three examples of how you can use this phrase.
50
Example 1 Can you drive faster?
51
I'm in a bit of a hurry Example 2 I can't talk right now.
52
I'm in a bit of a hurry Example 3 I'm in a bit of a hurry,
53
so I'll check these files later Okay, so it's clear now.
54
Basically, it means that you don't have time.
55
You're moving really quickly okay perfect now let's look at our second language takeaway word
56
and it's contact details contact details contact details contact details
57
so what are your contact details basically this is the information you can find on your business card all right
58
so we have like our name our telephone number your email address, perhaps your mobile phone number.
59
So all the useful information so people can get in touch with you.
60
Yep, so people can phone you or email you.
61
Okay, so contact details.
62
Great.
63
Okay, so our third word is slipped my mind.
64
Slipped my mind.
65
Slipped my mind.
66
Slipped my mind.
67
So this is a funny phrase.
68
It's kind of strange, right?
69
Yeah, slipped my mind.
70
It sounds very weird.
71
Exactly.
72
Okay, so now we're going to listen to two examples of this phrase.
73
Try and see if you can figure out what it means.
74
Example one.
75
I'm sorry I forgot to respond to your email.
76
It just slipped my mind.
77
Example two.
78
Don't you know what day it is today?
79
Oh, it's your birthday.
80
It completely slipped my mind.
81
Ah, so slipped my mind is like I forgot.
82
You forgot something.
83
Uh-huh. So accidentally.
84
Right.
85
Okay, great.
86
Now it's time for putting it together.
87
Putting it together.
88
All right, Erica, why don't you tell our listeners what putting it together is?
89
Well, putting it together helps you put language together.
90
It helps you be more fluent by knowing how words fit together.
91
Great.
92
So let's look at our first phrase today and it's around here.
93
Around here.
94
Around here.
95
Around here.
96
So this is like close by.
97
Close by.
98
Right.
99
I can say for example, is there a bank around here?
100
Yeah.
101
Yeah.
102
So that's, is there a bank close to here?
103
Exactly.
104
Now this phrase around here, we can change it a little bit and it means something a little bit different.
105
Right.
106
I could say, Marco, there's a great restaurant right around the corner.
107
Right, and that would mean there is a great restaurant on the other street.
108
Yep.
109
Around the corner.
110
Yep.
111
Great.
112
Or we have another example.
113
We can say, around there.
114
Around there.
115
Right.
116
So for example, I can say, Los Angeles is a great city.
117
I used to live around there.
118
So you used to live near Los Angeles.
119
Exactly.
120
All right.
121
It's a really good phrase and it's really common.
122
Yeah.
123
Now our next phrase and putting it together is terrible with.
124
Terrible with.
125
Terrible with.
126
Terrible with.
127
So we have a couple of examples that will show you how this phrase works example one
128
you're terrible with numbers you can't even remember your own telephone number Example 2 I'm terrible with directions.
129
I'm always getting lost.
130
Example 3 I'm terrible with faces.
131
I can never remember what people look like.
132
Wow, I understand that.
133
I'm also terrible with numbers.
134
I can barely add 2 plus 2.
135
Well, yeah, I guess not everyone is a numbers person.
136
I'm terrible with faces.
137
I sometimes forget what people look like.
138
Really?
139
Yeah.
140
Uh-oh.
141
So I think it's time now for us to listen to our dialogue a second time.
142
Okay, this time the dialogue will be a little bit slower.
143
Right.
144
So try and listen for some of the words we've just talked about.
145
Nick, how's it going?
146
Oh, hey.
147
What are you doing in this neighborhood?
148
Do you live around here?
149
Actually, my office is right around the corner.
150
It was great to meet you last week at the conference.
151
I really enjoyed our conversation about foreign investment.
152
Yeah, yeah, it was really interesting.
153
You know, I'm in a bit of a hurry, but here's my card.
154
We should definitely meet up again and continue our discussion.
155
Sure.
156
You still have my contact details, right?
157
You know what?
158
This is really embarrassing, but your name has just slipped my mind.
159
Can you remind me?
160
Sure.
161
My name is Anna Faris.
162
Don't worry about it.
163
It happens to me all the time.
164
I'm terrible with names, too.
165
So it's more clear now.
166
You can understand a lot better, right?
167
Yeah, that's true.
168
Great.
169
So now it's time for us to take a look at Fluency Builder.
170
Fluency Builder.
171
So with Fluency Builder, we take some very simple phrases
172
and show you how you can be more fluent or how you can...
173
Sound more native.
174
Yeah.
175
Great.
176
In the beginning of the dialogue, Anna said, Nick, how's it going?
177
Yeah, this is a great phrase.
178
It sounds really, really natural.
179
You know, sometimes I hear students say, How are you?
180
Or, How are you doing?
181
Those are two great phrases, but this one sounds really, really natural.
182
It just sounds more casual.
183
Yeah, let's listen again to that phrase from the dialogue.
184
How's it going?
185
How's it going?
186
Great, so next time that you find a friend on the street, you can just say, hey, how's it going?
187
Yeah, so Marco, have you ever forgotten someone's name?
188
Yeah, it's happened to me a couple of times
189
and actually the most embarrassing situation was that I forgot a family member's name.
190
No!
191
A family member's name.
192
We had like a family reunion and there were a lot of aunts
193
and uncles and cousins that I hadn't seen in a while
194
and I just forgot one of my uncle's names and I was...
195
Uh oh.
196
That's pretty embarrassing.
197
So what did you do?
198
Well, I had to ask one of my other cousins.
199
I'm like, hey, who is that guy?
200
He's like, oh, that's Uncle John.
201
I'm like, oh man, I totally forgot.
202
Yeah, so it was really embarrassing because I didn't know what to call him.
203
So I just called him uncle because I didn't know his name.
204
Hi uncle.
205
Yeah.
206
Oh yeah.
207
So when that happens to me when I'm in a business setting, sometimes what I do is I ask for someone's card.
208
Ah yeah, that's the good technique.
209
Yeah, or sometimes I might ask them to write down their email.
210
Because usually their full name is spelled out in their email address.
211
So that's my trick when I've forgotten someone's name.
212
That's a good trick, and I guess a lot of our listeners can take your advice on that.
213
Okay, so I think it's time for us to listen to our dialogue one more time, this time at natural speed.
214
Nick, how's it going?
215
Oh, hey.
216
What are you doing in this neighborhood?
217
Do you live around here?
218
Actually, my office is right around the corner.
219
It was great to meet you last week at the conference.
220
I really enjoyed our conversation about foreign investment.
221
Yeah, yeah, it was really interesting.
222
You know, I'm in a bit of a hurry, but here's my card.
223
We should definitely meet up again and continue our discussion.
224
Sure, you still have my contact details, right?
225
You know what?
226
This is really embarrassing, but your name has just slipped my mind.
227
Can you remind me?
228
Sure.
229
My name is Anna Faris.
230
Don't worry about it.
231
It happens to me all the time.
232
I'm terrible with names, too.
233
Well, I hope that you've all enjoyed our lesson for today.

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。
