027 - Birthday Party | ESL Podcast
Conversation
A: I don’t think I’ll be calling Brian again.
B: Why not?
A: Sara had some people over for her birthday last night and Brian
showed up with no gift, no drinks, or anything; and to top it off he was
complaining about her not having a good enough selection of drinks.
B: That’s pretty rude but not calling him again is a bit harsh don’t you
think? He must have done something else.
A: He could see that everyone took their shoes off at the door but he still
kept his on tracking dirt all over the floor. He also lit up a cigarette in the
house without asking. I mean , who smokes inside anymore?
B: That’s awful. Did anyone say anything?
A: Someone asked him to smoke outside and he took offense to it. It
was like he’d never heard that people don’t like second hand smoke in
their face. Oh ya, and he was hitting on Jay’s girlfriend the whole night.
B: Did Jay say anything?
A: You know Jay . He’s not really confrontational . He didn’t want to
make it too awkward. I can understand that.
Key vocabulary and phrases that are discussed in the podcast:
Had some people over:
This means invited people to your home. Its just a common way of saying
this. For example, I had a few friends over last night.
Showed up:
It means arrived.
To top it off:
You can use this phrase when telling a story. It’s used in a situation
where you list several things that happened that would already be enough
to prove your point, but you still have one more big thing to say to add to
what you were saying.
Harsh:
Strong, not very forgiving.
Tracking:
When someone walks around with dirty shoes inside the house we say
they are tracking dirt on the floor.
I mean:
Sometimes this is used to express that you believe that most reasonable
people should agree with what you are saying.
Second hand smoke:
Smoke in the air from other people smoking
Hitting on:
Flirting. Talking to someone in a playful way with whom you are normally
attracted to, often someone you might want to have a date with.
You know Jay:
This phrase means that you know Jay quite well and how he would behave
in different situations.
Confrontational:
If someone does something that you don’t like or don’t agree with and
you go to that person and tell them exactly how you feel and then you are
being confrontational. Not being confrontational is having someone do or
say something you don’t like and just keep your feelings to yourself.
