Learn English 80 - Book By podEnglish Focus: reported speech and difference between say/tell Language: say/tell and "end up" CLERK: Hi, can I help you? CUSTOMER: Yes. I'm looking for something to expand my vocabulary. I bought a few books last year, but they're not very effective. Do you have any suggestions? CLERK: Well, we have some books on tape. You can listen to them and read along. I've heard great things about this series. How about these? CUSTOMER: Yes, that might work. Then I could listen on my way to work. CLERK: And we have English movies on the third floor. Maybe that could help your vocabulary. CUSTOMER: Yes, but I always end up turning the subtitles on. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. I'll head up there later. CLERK: You know, my son is studying English at school now, and they use a website to study. CUSTOMER: Really? Do you remember the address? CLERK: What did he tell me? I think it's Englishtown.com. He says it's great.

Learn English 78 - Sales Figures By podEnglish Focus: modals Language: should / might JANE: OK. As you can see from my report, we're doing well in most sectors. However, sales in Western Europe are down by five percent since July, so we need to focus on that today. PETER: Almost 30% of our revenue was coming from Western Europe at the start of this year. Now it's closer to 25%. What's the reason? JANE: Well, we decreased our advertising budget by almost half this year. I think that might be reflected in our sales. PETER: I'm not sure about that. Sales figures are up 20% in Spain this quarter and we have almost no advertising coverage there. How do you explain that? JANE: Simple. The sales team in Barcelona is excellent. I think once we establish a stronger training program, sales should pick up in Europe. What other factors do we need to consider? PETER: Well we can't leave out market forces. What effect has the introduction of the euro had on sales? JANE: Well, it's hard to say for sure at this early stage, but software sales in the region are down 3% this quarter, and they're predicted to fall by another 0.5% before the end of the year. PETER: How about Latin America? JANE: Let's see... In Mexico there's been a fifteen percent increase this quarter. PETER: So, would you say Europe was our main area of concern right now? JANE: Yes, definitely.

Why are you studying English? STUDENT: Mainly because English allows me to communicate with people from all over the world, and I hope to study abroad and maybe even work in an English-speaking country one day. EXAMINER: So where do you hope to study? STUDENT: Well, I've applied to several places in the States, and one in England. EXAMINER: And what would you like to study? STUDENT: Well, I'm interested in reading, so maybe I'll study English Literature. I'm also quite interested in Linguistics, so maybe I'll study languages as well. EXAMINER: Okay. So you are interested in the different variations of English spoken around the world. Can you tell me some of the differences between American and British English? STUDENT: Well, one example.... The present perfect tense is less commonly used in American English. For example a British speaker will say "Have you eaten?", but an American speaker will say "Did you eat?" EXAMINER: Good. Can you think of anything else? STUDENT: Well, there are many variations in vocabulary. For example...

Learn English 73 - Sightseeing By podEnglish Focus: Articles Language: Common words and phrases using definite, indefinite, and zero articles MS. ZHANG: Where do you want to go sightseeing today? MS. PHILLIPS: I want to visit this temple I've read about in the guide book. MS. ZHANG: OK, but I will buy the entrance ticket. MS. PHILLIPS: Oh, I didn't realize we have to pay to get in. MR. ZHANG: Yes, in China, there is a small fee to enter museums, parks and temples. MS. PHILLIPS: That's very different from back home . Have you ever heard of anyone paying to go to church? MR. ZHANG: You're right. In the West you don't make a direct payment at the entrance but the congregation is usually expected to make a contribution during collection . MS. PHILLIPS: Oh, you've been to England before? MR. ZHANG: Yes I went there last year. I had the time of my life , although it took a few days to adjust. The two cultures are so different. MS. PHILLIPS: Well, this is my first visit to China. And I've heard this temple is amazing. When was it built? MR. ZHANG: Pretty recently. About 150 years ago. MS. PHILLIPS: Well that seems very old to me. MR. ZHANG: Considering China's 5000 year history it's relatively new! MS. PHILLIPS: Do you go to that temple? MR. ZHANG: No, but my parents do. MS. PHILLIPS: To pray ? MR. ZHANG: No. Nowadays people just come to pray for good luck and money. MS. PHILLIPS: A similar trend is occurring in the West especially in regard to festivals. Many people still celebrate Christmas, although they might not be churchgoers . MR. ZHANG: Yes, it's interesting. We should find a taxi and go .

Learn English 72 - Travel By podEnglish Focus: Improving Listening Skills Language: Communication of details ANNA: Excuse me, I have to leave early. COLIN: OK. How come? ANNA: It's my niece. She's at the airport. She's on her way to Japan. She said the travel agent gave her the wrong itinerary. She said she has to make three connections to get to Japan, and it will take two days to fly there. COLIN: It's gonna take two days? What's the problem? ANNA: She has to fly to Rome, then Paris, then Singapore and finally Japan. COLIN: Really? She's going to Paris, and she needs to change planes in Rome and then Singapore? ANNA: No, it's Rome first and then Paris second. COLIN: That doesn't make any sense. That's a bad itinerary. Why do you have to go to the airport? ANNA: She told me she has to pay a $100 fee to change her ticket. She doesn't have any money. COLIN: It sounds like she didn't prepare very well, doesn't it? ANNA: No, she didn't. But she is a teenager, and she hasn't traveled before. But unless she changes her ticket before her departure. . . she'll go to Rome, and she won't be able to get a direct flight to Japan. COLIN: Why not just call the travel agent? ANNA: It's 6:15. They close at 6:00. COLIN: Well, hurry up. You don't want to get there after they've made the boarding announcements.

Learn English 68 - Religion By podEnglish ERICA: So what was the most interesting thing you saw on your trip to Asia? JESSICA: Well, in Thailand I saw a Buddhist temple where thousands of monks actually live. ERICA: Fascinating, did you get to talk to any of them? JESSICA: No, they didn't speak English, but I did try sitting and meditating with them. ERICA: I don't know that much about Eastern philosophy or religion. I was brought up Christian. What about yourself? JESSICA: Actually, I'm Jewish. But, my parents always taught me to try and respect and understand other religions. ERICA: I went to Church as a kid, but my parents thought I should choose on my own... what religion to follow when I became a teenager. JESSICA: That's cool. Sounds like both our parents are pretty liberal about religious beliefs. ERICA: So did you celebrate holidays like Christmas? JESSICA: No, not in a spiritual way. But, I do exchange gifts with my friends. ERICA: I guess for a lot of people Christmas isn't much of a religious holiday anymore, is it? JESSICA: Well, the world is changing. A lot of traditional customs and practices are altering or disappearing. ERICA: Do you think religion will cease to be important? JESSICA: Maybe, but religion plays a big part in so many peoples' lives. Just ask the monks!
