十天美国口语突破教程
十天美国口语突破教程第一天 Making FriendsWhen making new friends, there are usually three parts to the conversation you will have with your new friend. The first is the greeting. In this part, you and your new friend will greet each other and tell each other your names. The second part is the conversation. Sometimes the conversation is small talk and some times the conversation is about important matters, such as business. "Small talk" is an American slang term. It means that the conversation is about matters that are not very important. When conversing with your new friend, it is customary to give information about your family, your work, or you will talk about any matter that is important to you and your new friend. The third part of the conversation is the leave-taking. In this part, you tell your new friend that you are happy to meet him and that you must end the conversation.In this conversation, Thinh will introduce himself and his wife to Jim, their new neighbor.--------------------------------------------------------------Thinh: Hello.Jim: Oh, hi there!Thinh: Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Thinh Nguyen and this is my wife, Lan Quong.Jim: Pleased to meet you. My name is Jim Peters. Did you just move in next door?Lan: Yes, we did. Have you lived here long?Jim: Me? I guess so. I've lived here for about 6 years now. Have you lived in America very long?Thinh: No. Not really. When we left Vietnam and came to America we lived with a cousin in Dallas for 2 years. Where do you work, Jim?Jim: I teach mathematics at Willow Springs community college. What do you do?Thinh: I am a mechanic at Allied Diesel. I repair truck engines.Jim: What about you, Lan?Lan: I am a nurse's assistant at Whitfield County hospital.Jim: Well, Thinh and Lan, it was good to meet you. I have to go now. I'm teaching a class this evening and I need to get to the college.Thinh: It was good to meet you, too, Jim.Lan: Yes, it was good to meet you.Jim: See you around!Thinh and Lan: Good-bye, Jim!------------------------------------------------------------------New words and Expressions"Allow me to introduce myself." - This phrase is used when you want to tell your new friend that you are going to tell him your name."Pleased to meet you."- This phrase is used after you and your new friend have told each other your names."Did you just move in next door?", "Where do you work?", "Have you lived here long?"- These are some phrases that people use to make "small talk." These phrases are used when you ask your friend for basic information about himself. These phrases help new friends to get to know about each other's lives."It was good to meet you."- This phrase is usually used when you are ending the conversation. A person who uses this phrase will be considered polite by his new friend.第二天 Apartment HuntingBill is looking for a new apartment. He just moved to a new city in order to start studying at a university. He is at a Rental Agency in the new city.-----------------------------------------------------------------Agent: Hi!

For example, a dishwasher, a balcony, a swimming pool or central air conditioning?Bill: I would definitely like to have a dishwasher, and with summers like these, central air! A balcony is not that important. Oh, yes, and two bathrooms would be nice.Ann: Okay. Here are photos of the apartments we have available which fit your preferences.Bill: Thank you. This one on Broadway Avenue looks nice. I would like to see that one. And the one on Main Street.Ann: Sure. Let me get the keys and we will go look at them.

Thank you.第三天At the LibraryLibrarian: Can I help you?Natalie: Yes. I am a bit confused. My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter in a book called Sociology and the Modern Age. According to the syllabus, the book is in the library, but I haven't been able to find it.Librarian: Do you have your syllabus with you? May I see it?Natalie: Yes, uh....I put it in the front of my sociology notebook. Oh, here it is.Librarian: Let me see. Oh yes. Your professor has placed this book on reserve. That means you cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to go to a special room called the reserve room. It's down the hall and to the right.Natalie: I'm sorry - I still don't understand what you mean by on reserve.Librarian: You see, your professor wants every one in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the other students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.Natalie: So, will I be able to find this book?Librarian: Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book. The student can have the book for a few hours, and he or she MUST read it in the library during that time. That way, the book stays in the library, and all students have a chance to read it.Natalie: Okay. Thank you. I understand now.Librarian: Will there be anything else?Natalie: No! I am on my way to the reserve room. Thanks again!---------------------------------------------------------------------Words and Expression1.syllabusUsually, an instructor hands out the syllabus on the first day of class.If you are not sure when an assignment is due, check the syllabus.I need to buy all the books the instructor has listed on the syllabus.According to the syllabus, we have a quiz next week.2.on reserveAll the library's books by M.

There are two: the Allied Irish Bank and the Bank of Ireland.Visitor: I have an AIB pass card and I want to withdraw money from the bank.Policeman: You need to go to the Allied Irish Bank which is near the local shopping centre, Dunnes Stores.Visitor: How do I get there. I have no knowledge of this area.Policeman: Cross the road and turn left at the other side. Walk along the footpath until you reach the traffic lights. You will see a shopping centre on the right hand side. Walk across the road and turn right after the shopping centre. Keep going straight for about 100m and the bank is to your left.Visitor: It sounds very complicated. How far is it from here?Policeman: It's not so complicated. It's about five minutes walk from here. I can draw a map for you if you wish.Visitor:Oh, I would really appreciate that . By the way will I be going North or South ?Policeman: You will be going northwards. You are now in the the Western part of the city and the Allied Irish Bank is situated in the North East. Here's a rough sketch of the area.第五天 A VISIT TO THE ADVISORIn this conversation, an international student has been asked to see her advisor. The advisor has something very important to discuss with the student.------------------------------------------------------Student: You wanted to see me?Advisor: That's right. We need to have a serious talk.Student: About what?Advisor: Your attendance--or rather, lack of it.Student: OK, so I've ditched class a few times . . .Advisor: A few times? I've been told you've missed six out of eight times in two different classes! That's really setting yourself up to fail.Student: Oh, come on. Those classes are really boring!Advisor: But they're also required, so that doesn't matter. You're about to be in big trouble. Student: What's the big deal about missing some classes?Advisor: The big deal is that you're here on a student visa.Student: So?Advisor: So if you don't attend class regularly, you won't be a full-time student--which your visa requires. You'll be out of status.Student: What are you gonna do? Turn me in to the Immigration Police?Advisor: Oh, of course I'll have to report you if you continue missing your class, but I'm going todo something else first.Student: Like what?Advisor: Like faxing your father.-----------------------------------------------------------Notes on V ocabulary1. ditched class: intentionally missed class2. setting yourself up to fail: doing (yourself) what is necessary to cause failure3. . . . so that doesn't matter: . . . so that isn't important.4. What's the big deal about missing some classes?: What's so important about missing some classes?5. out of status: not meeting the requirements to keep your visa status-----------------------------------------------Notes on Usage1. You wanted to see me?The student changes a statement to a question by using question (rising) intonation, not by using an auxiliary verb (did).People often use this kind of question in conversational language to suggest that they think a statement may not be true or accurate. (The student means something like "Is it true that you wanted to see me?" By using this kind of question, the student also suggests that she thinks there's no real reason for the advisor to want to see her.)2. About what?"Reduced" questions are also very common in conversational language. The full form would be something like "What do we need to have a serious talk about?" or "About what do we need to have a serious talk?"3. Your attendance--or rather lack of it"Reduced" answers are much more common than full answers in conversational language. The advisor means "We need to have a serious talk about your attendance--or rather, your lack of attendance."4. OK, so . . .Both OK and so are used very frequently in conversational language. Here, the student uses "OK, so . . ." to show that she admits that she's missed class a few times.5. A few times?A "reduced" answer; the advisor means something like "What do you mean by a few times?" By using "a few times," the student suggests that she hasn't missed class enough times to cause a problem. By questioning "a few times" (shown by the advisor's emphasis on "few"), the advisor is saying that there have been many absences, not just a few.6. Oh, come on.This expression is used to show that what has just been said is unreasonable or illogical. The student doesn't understand why missing some boring classes is setting herself up to fail.7. So?This one-word question is used when one doesn't understand the relationship or consequence that follows from what has just been said. (The student means she doesn't understand the relationship between missing classes and her student visa.)8. gonnaThere are many "relaxed" pronunciations of commonly used phrases (for example, "hasta" or "hafta" for has to or have to, "wanna" for want to, "woulda/coulda/shoulda/mighta" for would've/could've/should've/might've). These forms are very common in spoken English, but they're not acceptable in most written work.9. Turn me in to . . . ?A "reduced" question: "Are you going to turn me in to . . . ?"10. Like what?A "reduced" question: "What will the 'something else' be like?" ("What kind of thing are you going to do?"11. Like faxing your fatherA "reduced" answer: "[I'm going to do something] like faxing your father." (The advisor plans to send a fax to the student's father to tell the father that the student hasn't been attending class.)第六天Shopping in AmericaINTRODUCTIONConversation A is a typical conversation about shopping in the United States. Masahiro is an international student who has just arrived from Japan, and Anna and Will are introducing him to the shopping scenario in America.Conversation AAnna: As I was telling you, Masa, where you shop depends largely on what you need. So, if you want to buy an answering machine or a CD-player, your best bet would probably be an appliance store such as Radio Shack..Will: Yup! Or Circuit City. I like Best Buy the best, though.Masahiro: Why?Will: Coz they usually have the best deals. They have sales on their TVs and CD-players every once in a while.Anna: Hum. I'll bet they send you their glossy ads loaded with so-called "SALES"!Masahiro: (laughs)Anna: Well, I still think the CD-player I bought from them was a rip off.Will: I'll admit some of their items are high-priced, but at least the shopper's guaranteed quality. There are very few places that have such a wide selection.Masahiro: I need to buy disks, at least two disk holders, note cards, transparencies, and that kind of stuff.Will: For office supplies, I suggest Office Max.Anna: Or Comp USA. One good thing about living in a campus town, though, is that you can easily get that stuff at any of the bookstores. No doubt they do overcharge. I try to get around that by shopping around.Masahiro: Shopping around?Anna: Yes. That simply means you go to different stores, check out the prices of items you need and purchase them from the store(s) with the lowest price or prices.Masahiro: I see. Sounds very practical.Will: And time-consuming, too!Masahiro: Where is Office Max located?Anna: There's one in the mall, so we can stop by there this afternoon.Masahiro: Great! Thanks.Will: Hey, Masa. Just so you know, you can always run to the discount stores whenever you're out of something you need right away. There are several around campus.Anna: That's right. And they carry pretty much everything a student needs. Pop, pasta, eggs, hair spray . . . you name it!Will: They don't usually carry milk, though, so you might want to walk down to White Hen (Pantry), Walgreens, or some other convenience stores close by.Anna: I wouldn't advise you to buy things in bulk from such stores, though. I mean, do your major shopping at the specialized stores. It's much cheaper, and more convenient in the long run.Masahiro: Good advice!Will: Sort of like Mom's!Anna: Hey, watch it!Will: Just kiddin'!Masahiro (laughs). Life sounds great in this town! Oh! Before I forget, guys, where can I rent movies? I love watching movies in my spare time.Anna: Me too! Let's see. There are two video stores close to your apartment. Lucky you! One's Blockbuster, and the other's That's Rentertainment. I believe they both have specials on weekdays, right Will?Will: Yup. But not for the new releases. It's usually a buck each for the older movies.Anna: Are you guys ready to go to the mall?Masahiro & Will: Sure.Anna: Masa, don't forget to take your shopping list with you.Masahiro: Thanks for reminding me.Anna: You're welcome. What are we waiting for? let's go.------------------------------------------------New Words and Expression1 Your best bet is a commonly used idiom which refers to the best possible choice or option available. In Conversation A, it refers to the most suitable store for appliances, in Anna's opinion.2 The best deals is a frequently used shopping-related expression that refers to items for sale at bargain prices (i.e., cheap). Sometimes, "good deals" or "a real steal/What a steal" are used instead.3 Glossy ads are colorful advertisement pamphlets or catalogs (on rich/glossy paper) that entice shoppers and usually encourage them to be "smart shoppers" or people who look for "good deals" or "sales."4 A rip off is another frequently employed shopping-related expression used by shoppers who feel that they have been cheated. It is generally the case that the item purchased was overpriced (i.e., too costly) when it was bought.5 Items that are high-priced are very expensive.6 A wide selection refers to a wide array of items (e.g., models of VCRs, TVs, microwaves, walkmans, etc., depending on the store in question).7 Stuff is a "safe" word that can be used to refer to anything the speaker intends it to refer to. Often, it is used when a speaker cannot recall the names of things s/he wants to refer to, and when s/he wishes to avoid having to mention what may appear to be an endless list.8 Stores are known to carry items. In other words, they have the items they "carry." However, stores could be "out" of certain items (when their supplies have been exhausted).9 Convenience stores, as the name suggests, are stores that carry basic necessities such as bread, milk, eggs, soft drinks, tooth paste, newspapers, magazines, and so on. They are usually conveniently located (in small towns, suburbs, and big cities) which also accounts for the name.10 In bulk is a shopping-related idiom that is used to refer to items purchased in large quantities. Such supplies are cheaper and last longer. Generally, families shop in bulk for items such as sugar, rice, candy, canned products, etc. However, perishable products (such as vegetables) are rarely purchased in bulk. Instead, they are usually purchased on a daily or weekly basis. Specializedstores are stores that sell particular things. In other words, they specialize in the sale of particular products (e.g., grocery stores sell groceries, hardware stores sell hardware products such as nuts and bolts, paint, nails, hammers, etc.)11 Specials refer to discount deals/prices. In Conversation A, they refer to discount video rental rates.12 A buck each refers to a dollar per item in question (video tapes in Conversation A)13 A shopping list is a handy list of items a shopper intends to buy. Most Americans draw up shopping lists before they go shopping. Such a list makes shopping easier, as the shopper consults it while shopping, and that way, does not forget to buy what s/he needs.---------------------------------------------ExercisesExercise A: Practicing Useful Shopping-Related Expressions----------------------------------------------------Instructions: Carefully read the following mini-conversations and, for each, construct a sentence that restates the speaker's words, using any of the shopping-related words or expressions used in Conversation A and defined above. Suggested answers are provided at the end of this lesson. However, you are advised not to consult them until you have attempted the exercise.--------------------------------------------------1. Tom: If I had shopped around first before I bought my VCR, perhaps I wouldn't have been cheated.2. Nancy: Jewel's got a buy-one-get-one-free sale on Florida oranges and cantaloupes. Isn't that great? We need to stock up.3. Greg: Don't you think the prices at Saks Fifth Avenue are somewhat unreasonable? Imagine buying an ordinary T-shirt for 50 bucks! I'd prefer to keep it at a museum.4. Anna: I always buy my cheese at Strawberry fields. You can find any kind of cheese there. Yup. You name it and it's there.5. Kim: I'll go in and ask them whether they have milk in the store.6. Shiho: It's time to go shopping, Dan. Don't forget the list on which you wrote what you'd like to buy.Exercise B: What Kind of Store?---------------------------------------------------------Instructions: Read each mini-dialog and specify where it is taking place. In other words, is it in a department store, a bookstore, a supermarket or grocery store, an appliance store, a shoe store, a drive-in fast food restaurant, or a movie theater box office?---------------------------------------------------------1. Sean: Two for A Walk in the Clouds, please.Agent: Eleven dollars. Okay. Here are your tickets, and here's your change.Sean: Thank you.2.Cashier: Can I take your order?John: Yes, please. Could I have a cheese burger, a small order of fries, and a large Diet Pepsi.Cashier: Will that be all, Sir?John: Actually, make that a large order of fries.Cashier: Okay, coming right up. Anything else?John: No. Thanks.Cashier: Ketchup?John: Yes, please.Cashier: That will be $ 5:30. Your order will be ready at the next window.John: Thanks.3. Anna: Excuse me, please.

They've got some quality stuff. Wanna check it out?Masahiro: Why not.Anna: I need to get something for Lisa's birthday. She's into name brands.
