i'd like to go to
i'd like to go to this hotel when you
tell someone
i'd like to go to this town the person
selling you a ticket will be able to
tell you which train you need to take
to get there i'd like to go to
means this is the destination i want how
do i get there
is this the right platform for
is this the right platform for the train
to greenwich
a platform is where you wait for a train
to pull up
so if you're on a platform and you
aren't sure if you're on the right one
for the train you need
you might ask someone else who's
standing there excuse me is this the
right platform for the train
to greenwich and they will tell you if
you're in the right place
what time is the last train
what time is the last train to san
francisco
you might ask someone what time is the
last train
depending on which city you're in the
last train of a day
might be at maybe 10 p.m for example
you're going to want to make sure you
get to the station to get that last
train
where do i change for
where do i change for the express train
when you're taking a train sometimes you
might need to do
a transfer at a particular station
this means if you're on one train you
might have to get off
at a certain train station and wait for
another train
that'll take you all the rest of the way
to where you need to go
asking where do i change for the express
train
you're asking at what station do i need
to get out
off the train and wait for the correct
train
where can i buy a ticket where can i buy
a ticket where can i buy a ticket in
town
you should ask where to buy a ticket so
you know
whether you need to purchase your ticket
on the train itself
or if you need to go up to a kiosk and
buy your ticket there
it's always important to know ahead of
time where to buy your ticket
because you don't want to get on a train
and find out you were supposed to buy
your ticket
at the station how much is it to
how much is it to how much
is it to the airport you might ask this
question to find out how much
it costs to take a train or a bus
or a taxi to where you need to go
if you get into a taxi for example and
you ask
how much is it to the airport the taxi
driver
will tell you thirty dollars he'll tell
you the price you need to pay
to get to the airport if you're taking a
train
you might ask the ticket seller how much
is it to the airport
and the ticket seller will tell you the
train to the airport
costs ten dollars for example that way
you know how much
it costs to go to where you need to be
does this bus
go to does this bus go to
does this bus go to the suburbs
does this bus go to is a way of asking
whether or not the bus that you're
looking at
has the destination that you need so you
might get on the bus and ask the bus
driver does this bus go to
the suburbs whatever destination and the
bus driver will answer and tell you yes
get on or no you want a different bus
what time is the next bus what time is
the next bus
what time will the next bus arrive by
asking what time is the next
bus you're asking when the bus is going
to come to the bus stop or
whatever station the bus will stop at
this way
you know what time you need to be at
that bus stop
the train is running late the train
is running late the train is running
late again
this is something i say all the time in
new york city
the train is running late if the train
is running late
that means you will probably be running
late when you get off the train
where are the ticket machines where
are the ticket machines where are the
ticket machines
in this station a ticket machine
is a machine that you go to to purchase
your tickets
you might see this in any station
whether it's a subway station
or a regular train station or sometimes
even
a bus station there will be kiosks that
you can go to
to enter the information and purchase
your ticket
top 10 marriage proposal lines
let's go the first proposal line is will
you marry me
this is probably the most classic
proposal line
will you marry me the image of someone
saying will you marry me
is a a man down on one knee giving a
ring
to the person to usually the woman
classically
sorry i know times have changed but
usually giving a ring to someone
as they ask this question so will you
marry me
is the question the answer should be
simple yes or
no i suppose oh for you if you say no
okay
in a sentence yeah will you marry me
will you marry me this is the sentence
uh here they have the example sentence
i never thought i would say this but
will you marry me
the next proposal line is will you do me
the honor of becoming my wife
my goodness so fancy will you do me the
honor of becoming my wife
quite polite it sounds like the woman in
the situation
is like is somehow going to bring the
man
asking her to marry him on her therefore
like she is very valuable or she is very
excellent very excellent that
word choice was very excellent okay oh
they have a different they have a slight
variation here i'm going to read now
will you do me the immense honor of
becoming my wife
and partner wow the next proposal
question is will you make me the
happiest man alive
will you make me the happiest man alive
the nuance here is that if she says
yes like this is a marriage proposal if
she says yes i will make you the
happiest man alive
by agreeing to marry him he is so happy
he is the happiest man in the world so
in a sentence
here um will you make me the happiest
man on earth and say yes um
the next expression is you are the one
i've been waiting for my whole life
you're the one i've been waiting for my
whole life it doesn't necessarily have
to be for a proposal this one
if you maybe you want to tell someone
you love them for the first time
well actually maybe this is a little too
heavy for the first time of that
but maybe it's just you've reached a
really serious point in your
relationship with someone you could use
this expression
i don't feel like this has to be for a
proposal i think you could use it in a
couple of other
situations situations who are my
situations
the sentence here is it might sound
cheesy but you're the one i've been
waiting for my whole life
wow quite serious though quite a serious
expression careful
okay the next expression i think is
classic
i want to be with you forever i want to
be with you forever so be
with you means be in a relationship with
that person
forever until the end you might hear
this at a wedding i suppose too like in
a wedding vow
you could say this before the proposal
as well i want to be with you forever
will you marry me for example in this
sentence
i want to be with you forever and grow
old with you
oh very nice things here today the next
expression is let's spend the rest of
our lives together
let's spend the rest of our lives
together so from this day on
uh we should just be together always is
the nuance here
um yeah again you might hear this on a
wedding
in a wedding ceremony too i suppose the
sentence here is let's elope and spend
the rest of our lives together
elope means like to come together
usually kind of quickly and a little bit
mysteriously
the next expression is having you by my
side is what completes me
oh so nice so if this person if there's
a person next to you a person with you
by your side uh this person the person
speaking
feels complete so it's a nice it's a
nice expression like
with you everything is okay everything
is finished everything is complete here
so in a sentence i love you and having
you by my side completes me
okay the next expression i can't
imagine my life without you in it i
can't imagine my life without you in it
so
that person likes you likes
the other person so much they can't
imagine
what would life be like without this
person they don't know they can't
imagine or don't want to imagine it
very positive this sentence says i can't
imagine my life without you in it
because
it is too painful oh goodness okay
a little bit heavy a little bit serious
a little bit heavy with that one
okay i have used a similar phrase like
this with my friend like after we talk
about how much we love burritos
i'm not gonna lie the expression i'm not
this is true the expression here is i
now know that you and i
are truly meant to be together yeah so
you can use this i feel like you can use
this in a less serious situation like
with good friends or
another variation you can use with your
friends is like i knew we were supposed
to be friends or i knew we were going to
be friends from the moment we met
but here i now know that you and i are
truly meant to be together
it's like if you share a really good
experience together or
you can really connect well you can use
this expression
in this sentence after these years
together i now know that you and i are
truly meant to be together
all right the last expression we are
meant to be together we are meant to be
together meaning
um we are supposed to be together we
should be together
it's a nice expression you can use this
with your friends too i think
in less serious situations in this
sentence we are meant to be the first
phrase is
hello hello of course is used as a
greeting you can greet your friends you
can greet your co-workers your family
with this phrase just by saying
hello hey hi what's up hello sup
yo pretty much any time of day you can
use hello
hello the next phrase is good morning
good morning is used as a greeting
in the morning you can kind of feel when
morning ends for you
good morning is nice and polite or even
just morning
with your close friends or close
co-workers the next phrase is good night
good night is fine
we don't use this to greet other people
we use it when we're saying goodbye to
other people at night
family members particularly mothers and
fathers to say good night to their
children before they put them to bed
you can say it to your friend in a text
message or in an email if you've been
talking for a while good night
so the next word to talk about is
goodbye uh use it when you say goodbye
to your friends when you leave your
friends goodbye
bye of course take care have a nice day
peace out that's another way to say
goodbye okay the next phrase is
i'm plus your name of course this is a
way to introduce yourself you can use
i'm in my case alicia i'm alicia to
introduce yourself in any situation
new friend i'm alicia okay the next
phrase is what's your name what's your
name is used to ask someone else what
their name is so
what is your name sounds a bit tried to
use
what's your name if you forget someone's
name you can say sorry what's your name
or sorry what's your name again next
phrase is nice to meet you nice to meet
you
anytime you meet someone new nice to
meet you is fine
good to meet you is a little more casual
great to meet you sounds very excited
pleasure to meet you sounds like maybe a
formal situation or a business context
okay the next phrase is how are you how
are you
is it's just a friendly way to check in
with the other person you can use it
with friends your family
your co-workers maybe even your boss to
a certain degree
uh how are you how you doing the next
phrase
is i'm fine thanks and you uh if you saw
english in three minutes we talked a lot
about this phrase uh instead of i'm fine
thank you and you
say i'm good thanks how are you just
shorten it make it a little bit more
natural
how are you good how are you great how
are you
not so good how are you okay and so on
so when someone says how are you offer i
usually say
i'm good this week i blah blah blah give
some information about what you've been
up to maybe a hobby something that you
did recently an event
something interesting you saw whatever
people want to make that connection with
you and it's a good chance for you to
continue speaking
the next word is please please is a
polite phrase used when you want
something from someone else
you can use this as a response when
someone offers you something like in a
restaurant for example would you like
more water would you like something to
drink
oh please the next phrase is thank you
thank you is used to express your
appreciation you can use thank you with
everybody the next phrase is you're
welcome you're welcome when someone says
thank you you can say you're welcome ah
no biggie
i use no biggie as in no biggie is short
for no big problem the next word is yes
yes of course yes means is any
positive expression someone asks you a
question and the answer is a positive
answer you say
yes yep uh-huh yeah
no next i'm guessing i know it yep the
next word is no
no is a negative response to something
when you have to give a negative answer
so as you can probably guess
um the long form of no is negative
i like to use nope it's very very casual
not gonna happen
my parents would use that with me to
soften that a little bit
if you want to show a negative response
to something like let's go for dinner
tonight
what do you want to do like do you want
to go out uh not
really no i don't think so
to soften it the next word is okay okay
this word comes from copy editors okay
when they had to check a manuscript um
they had to label the manuscript
all clear ac but because they were copy
editors and they have a very very sick
sense of humor
they thought they would market okay for
all clear to make a joke because
o and k do not start all and clear but
it caught on
among everybody in the world anyway
okay uh is used to agree with somebody
else
well it can be used actually to express
a positive or kind of a slight negative
i feel
transitioning in your conversation you
can say okay now we're going to talk
about
blah blah blah okay the next phrase is
excuse me
excuse me it's used to get someone's
attention in english
when you don't know the other person for
example in a store
a supermarket maybe a stranger on the
street you need to ask directions you
can use
excuse me you can use excuse me in the
supermarket excuse me can you tell me
where the hot sauce is
if you've done something rude in public
you can use excuse me
i personally do not do rude things in
public ever i'm sorry is the next word
we're going to talk about i'm sorry is
used to apologize when you have made a
mistake or someone you know has made a
mistake and you're connected to it or
you just feel bad you can use i'm sorry
you made a mistake at work i'm sorry you
forgot to feed your cat i'm sorry sorry
about that
you bump someone next to you oh sorry
what time is it is the next phrase when
you need to check what time it is
what time is it when you ask someone
else what time it is maybe you say this
to yourself too
check your watch check your phone check
a clock pretty straightforward phrase
there aren't really any short versions
so
that's an easy one where is the plus a
location so you can use this for
a building or a store we don't we're not
going to use this where is the
for a place a city name or a state name
or a country name
to do that you would need to remove the
but where is the bank where is the post
office you can use this to ask
directions to ask for help
in your house or at work where is the
copy machine
where is the file i need where is the
blah blah blah
where is the bathroom is perhaps a very
important question to know
the next one is may i use the restroom
may i use the restroom is a polite
and soft expression that you can use if
you need to use the toilet you need to
use the washroom
when you're at someone's house for the
very first time when you're in a place
that you're that is new to you you can
ask may i use the restroom
more casually can i go to the bathroom
to be very polite you can say may i go
to the bathroom
the next phrase is i would like to order
something
you can use this at a restaurant
probably or in any situation where you
need to place an
order i'd like a pizza i'd like
a beer can i get the check please this
will be used at a restaurant when you've
finished your meal and it's time to go
can i get the check please
in a very very casual situation you can
just say check please
that's fine the next phrase is see you
soon see you soon is used with friends
and family members perhaps
when you expect to see them again soon
after saying goodbye to them this is
used at the end of the conversation
you're going separate directions
see you soon see ya is also good or just
see you
to make it a little more formal you can
say i'll see you again soon make a full
sentence out of it that way
the next phrases see you later see you
later is very similar to see you soon
but the point is
with cu later is that you're probably
going to meet that person again later on
in the same day
the last phrase is really really is a
very useful word because you can use it
to show you're interested in a
conversation with upward intonation
really
really tell me more or to show that
you're not so interested in the
conversation with
downward intonation really so there are
many other words that you can use
similar to
really in this way like seriously or oh
and so on so it's a really good practice
for your intonation

i like eating food i like cooking food
recently i like tofu
to love we can use it for very close
friends maybe
in your in your language using the word
love has a very very strong meaning but
in english we tend to be a little more
casual about that
if you say to your like your romantic
partner i love you
that has a very deep meaning you can say
it to your friends though like ah
so and so i love you that's fine that's
fine too
we use love and like to talk about how
much we
enjoy something if you say i love
watching movies it sounds like it's
maybe
one of your favorite activities it's one
of your hobbies it's something that you
really really enjoy
so think about that when you choose like
or
love i love cooking or i love
let's see trying new beer satisfy the
next word is satisfied satisfied
usually we use the word satisfied after
something good has happened to us
so for example if you go out to a
restaurant and you have a nice meal you
really enjoy the food
afterwards you can say oh i'm satisfied
that was really good
if you've provided a service to somebody
you can say are you
satisfied proud if you
feel very good about an accomplishment
or someone else has accomplished
something and they're happy about it
we use the word proud to describe that
feeling so
maybe i studied for a few months and i
passed a test that was really difficult
for me i feel so
proud or let's see my students have been
studying for
a few years and their conversation
skills have improved
so much that we can have fun
conversations together
i'm really proud of them yeah if you're
proud you can say i'm proud
though be careful if you say i'm so
proud i'm so proud of myself i'm so
proud of myself all the time
you might sound self-centered excited
the next word is excited
excited this is usually before
you do something that you're very
interested in that you're very happy
about like
i'm going to see a new movie today i'm
so excited or i'm going to try a new
restaurant i'm so excited
it's to describe that maybe that kind of
upward
yay feeling that you have before you do
something you're very interested in i'm
excited you can use this in the past
tense too like i was so excited to see
that movie last week it was great
what was the last thing i was excited
about coming here i'm so excited to cook
food today oh my god
funny funny funny something that makes
you
laugh is funny i laugh a lot i think

a woman is giving a report about the
sales of bags
which bag is selling best
[Music]
here's a report on the bags that we
started selling last month
first of all when it came to color black
was the number one seller
it's followed by white and sky blue
yellow didn't sell very well so
yellow was a dud well what about the
size
bigger bags sold more than smaller ones
bags that could fit a magazine or a
regular letter size notebook in them
were the most popular okay
regarding handles leather was more
popular than ones made with a metal
chain
i see it looks like bags with a more
formal style sell better
that's right i think we should use more
neutral colors
such as beige or brown for our new
collection
okay then let's go with the beige for
the next new color
you can stop the production of yellow
bags
got it

different membership options as
described in this brochure

pool at any time on any day of the week
but we also offer early morning
memberships where people can use the
facilities only in the early morning
and night memberships for people who
only want to come in the evening

the facilities from 6 am to 10 am
and night members can use them from 6 pm
to 11 pm

trip next month
okay let's check the internet the ocean
hotel is near the beach
it says 120 a night per person and you
get a buffet breakfast
how about the pine hotel it's 80 a night
i don't want to waste too much on
accommodations
hmm but the pine hotel is far from the
beach and from downtown
and it says you have to pay for wi-fi
what about the sunrise hotel
it usually costs 140 dollars a night but
now they're running a promotion and we
can stay one night for ninety dollars
it's between the beach and downtown plus
it has free wi-fi
sounds good oh wait it says the deal is
for next week only
oh i didn't see that so how about this
place
the royal hotel it's located in the
middle of downtown
and it costs 100 a night the room
doesn't look so nice but they have free
wi-fi
okay let's book this hotel oh it's
already fully booked shoot then i think

let's move the tables for tomorrow's
meeting alright
shall we put all the tables in the
center of the room so that everyone
faces each other
well there's going to be a group session

a man and a woman are talking about
office supplies
what will the man order
every month you need to check our office
supplies and order any items that are
running low
this time let's take a look at them
together here's the checklist
okay that sounds good well starting with
the paper
it looks like there's only one box left
we use lots of paper every day
so let's order two more boxes okay
the printer is out of color ink should
we order that
we don't really print documents in color
so we don't need to worry about that
okay looks like these whiteboard markers
are running out of ink
right those need to be replaced we get a
discount if we order them in sets of
five so let's do that
okay and while we're at it can we order
a mouse
sometimes it works but sometimes it
doesn't that's probably because it's
running out of batteries
let's check the stock of batteries and
order more if we don't have many left
sure well we have three batteries here
you can take two of these for your mouse
but buy a six pack of batteries to
replace them

a woman is asking for directions to the
airport at an information center how is
she going to get to the airport
[Music]
excuse me i need to go to the airport
would you tell me how to get there
sure there are a few ways if you take
bus number one
it takes about one and a half hours to
the airport it's the least expensive way
bus number two is a non-stop bus it's
more expensive and leaves once every
hour
but it only takes 50 minutes i see
what about taxis there's a taxi stand in
front of the building
and they take about an hour but they use
the expressway and charge extra for a
lot of luggage
so it's going to be a lot more expensive
than the bus
i guess that makes sense and i'd like to
avoid paying too much
you didn't by chance buy anything at
shopping world while you were here
they offer complimentary shuttle service
to the airport for customers who make a
purchase there
wow i didn't know that i haven't bought
anything yet but i was going to stop by
and get some souvenirs there anyway
then you can use that

a man is choosing an insurance plan
which plan is he going to sign up for
[Music]
what kind of trip will you be taking i'm
going scuba diving since
i'll be bringing all my own equipment
i'm a bit worried about getting it
stolen
very smart of you insurance against
theft is included in all of our plans
since scuba diving equipment is an
unusual type of baggage
only plan a can cover it though
alternatively
you can get insurance specifically for
scuba diving equipment
and add it to other plans plan a is the
most
expensive one right what's the
difference between plan b
and plan c okay for example
if you happen to stay in a hospital
abroad plan b
covers flight tickets for your family to
visit you but plan
c doesn't i see if i get the special
contractor scuba diving equipment and
add it to plan b
or plan c would it be more expensive
than plan a
with plan b that would make it a little
more expensive but with plan c
it would be less expensive okay by the
way
is there any plan that's cheaper than
plan c
yes we have plan d but it doesn't cover
accommodation if your flight gets
delayed or cancelled
so we don't recommend this plan got it
i agree that i need coverage but i don't
think i need coverage for family plane
tickets
so i'll take this plan and combine it
with the insurance for scuba diving
equipment
which plan is he going to sign up for

a woman is reporting to her boss about
the results
of a questionnaire which graph
represents the employees from the b
branch
[Music]
last week we asked 200 employees
to answer a questionnaire about their
fitness habits
the focus of this questionnaire was on
how many hours they exercise
each week did you tally up the results
for the a and b
branches separately yes and employees
had four options
less than an hour around one to two
hours
around three to five hours and six hours
or more
here are the results so employees in
both branches answered about one to two
hours the most
looks like they're exercising about once
a week
yes and after that employees in the a
branch
were most likely to answer about three
to five
hours while in the b branch the next
most common answer
was less than an hour hmm
not even 10 percent of employees at the
b branch exercise more than
six hours that's right so i was thinking
we could organize weekly sports events
there that anybody could casually join
that's a good idea it'd give employees a
good chance to socialize too
i'll leave it to you thank you i'll take
care of it

trash off of the ground

looking for a group activity
i want to learn more about a leadership
role in this kind of organization
as well if possible you know i have a
friend who helps out with a group that
plants trees with kids
are you interested in that kind of thing
yeah that sounds good thanks
it'd also be a great opportunity to
interact with children
do you want to do this too maybe
but i'd like to try something a bit more
people focused
you know like helping elderly or
disabled people
oh my mother is helping out at the local
senior center would that be interesting
to you
yes that sounds great

two bakers are talking how are they
going to display their bread
this new cheesy bread isn't selling well
is it
no we placed it on the top shelf though
maybe it's too high for some people they
probably can't see it
then let's put it on the middle shelf
sounds good
they'll see it when they first come into
the store and why don't we put a red
cloth on this shelf so that they know
it's our new bread
all right then we'll have to move the
croissants to somewhere else
top or bottom why don't we put our
regular items on the top shelf
they'll sell well even if they're not
easy to spot
that has to be the french bread then
let's put it in a basket so it'll stand
out
good idea now the croissants have to be
on the bottom
okay how does it look looks good
let's see how it goes for a week and
then decide if we need to make any
adjustments
