I’m totally free this weekend and glad to do you a favor. Tom is a clever and outgoing boy, and I always love to play with him. I plan to arrive at your house at 8 o’clock in the morning and take him out to do some exercise in the nearby park, which is really good for his health. When I chatted with Tom a few days ago, he showed a special preference for Chinese food. I know a great Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood. Tom will be delighted if I invite him to try some delicious food there. After lunch, we’ll have a short break and then I will play games with him. Don’t worry about him. I think we will get along well with each other. I hope you will have a good time on Saturday.

Yours,

M: Here are two packages for you from New York. Could you please sign your name here? W: Sure. Thanks. （Text 2）
W: Look how thin the mommy is—and she had a baby only six months old.
M: Yeah, my wife gets really depressed when she sees moms like that. She had our daughter two years ago and she still can't lose weight. （Text 3）
W: I wanted to go to Spain in August but it's so expensive.
M: Well, summer is peak season, so it's the most expensive time. Why not go later in the year? （Text 4）
W: I'm hungry. Shall we go for a bite to eat? M: Sounds good.
W: And then how about going to see the new film? M: It's wonderful. （Text 5）
W: Yesterday’s lecture was excellent, right?
M: The topic was interesting, but the lecture was much more difficult, and I couldn’t follow it completely. （Text 6）
W: Oh, no! Not again! This happens every day. M: What’s wrong?
W: Look at the mess, Jim! You have your supper and never do the washing-up afterwards. M: I don’t do the washing-up but I wash the car every week. W: I don’t care about that. You never help me with the housework! M: That’s not true, darling. I prepare your meals, right?
W: Oh! So what? The kitchen’s always a mess afterwards. You cook meals and I do the rest every day.

M: Calm down. OK, I will do everything in our house from next weekend. （Text 7）
M: I'd like to rent a bike for a day. How much does it cost?
W: It's 20 dollars a day. A day is from 9:00 in the morning until 7:00 in the evening. M: So, if I brought the bike back at 7:30, would I have to pay for an extra day?
W: Yes, and there's a deposit to pay as well. It's 50 dollars. Then when you bring the bike back, we'll give you back the 50 dollars. But if you didn't bring the bike back before 7:00 pm, we'd keep the money, of course.
M: Well, you don't need to worry. I'll surely bring the bike back at 5:00. Do you have helmets, by the way?
W: Of course. It's free to rent a helmet. Let's go and choose a bike and a helmet for you. （Text 8）
M: Hi, Tracy. You’re getting ready for tomorrow’s lessons, aren’t you?
W: Oh, yes, but I’m a bit nervous. I don’t know what will happen in class or how I’ll get along with my new classmates…
M: I can understand. Just take it easy. You’ll make a lot of new friends very soon.
W: Thank you. I’ll try my best to get used to my new school life as soon as possible. By the way, what time does the first class begin?
M: At 8 o’clock. But before that we have 10 minutes to hand in homework and then 20 minutes for morning reading.
W: So we must get to school before 7:30, right? M: Right.
W: And how long does each class last? M: 45 minutes, with a 10-minute break.
W: Well, I hear that lunchtime is nearly 12 o’clock and I think I’ll be starving by then. M: Don’t worry. There’s a 30-minute break after the second class, so we can buy something to eat. Or you may take some cookies and fruits to school. W: That’s good. （Text 9）
W: Darling, I’m going to stop by Bergner’s first. It’s got some quality stuff. Who knows, some of their dresses might be on sale. M: Bergner’s?
W: It’s a fairly well-known store like Penny’s. I need to get something for Lisa’s birthday. She’s into name brands. Any suggestions?
M: A Gucci handbag or Calvin Klein T-shirt might be nice. Oh, I have a 15% discount card for

Penny’s. Let’s go ahead and use it. Here it is.
W: It’s wonderful. We can save some money for our home. Oh, no! I was supposed to give Helen a call an hour ago. It’s already a quarter to five. I left my phone with her. She must be still waiting for my call. M: Use my phone, Darling.
W: OK. Is my telephone number 61199621?
M: Oh, my god. You still don’t remember it. It’s 61299621. Only the last number is different from mine. Mine is 2.
W: Don’t blame me. I have changed it for only three days. M: OK. You should write it down on your notebook. （Text 10）
Hello. My name’s John Williams. I’m an English teacher. And I have started a website to help you improve English listening and speaking skills as quickly as possible. My online English lessons take just 5 to 10 minutes each day to complete. And there are no advertisements to take your attention away. You can also download the sound files to your computer and exercise them and take your lessons again anytime. I’ve designed the online English course to be a very easy, cheap and quick way to improve your English speaking, listening and conversation skills. And also to improve your listening scores in English exams. Every day, you’ll learn some new English vocabulary, idioms and phrasal verbs. And you’ll feel more confident in working and making friends in English. You’ll also learn correct English pronunciation. I always make sure my online English lessons are short, interesting and easy to remember. My idea of learning English is that it is best for you to learn a little each day and remember it clearly. This idea doesn’t mean a new method, but instead it is a concept. I hope you can accept. Whether you’re taking other English classes or not, and no matter what method you use, I can help you to achieve your English learning goals.
