Dialogue

A: Oh, Armand, thank you for such a thoughtful invitation!
It’s really very nice of you to invite us over for dinner, don’t you think so, Ellen?

B: Oh, yes of course!
We’d love to come over.
Can I bring anything?

C: No, don’t worry about it;
I’ll take care of everything.
I’ll see you tonight.
Come with an appetite...
I know I will!

B: I don’t want go over to his place for dinner!
He gives me the creeps!
Why on earth did you accept?

A: Oh, come on Ellen, it will be nice to get to know him.
Besides, he’s new to the neighborhood, and it would be rude to decline his invitation.

B: I guess so...
You always rope me into things like this!

C: Ladies!
Thank you for coming!
You look delicious...
I mean beautiful.
Please come in.

A: Oh, Armand!
You are too kind!

B: How did I get myself into this...

M: Hello English learners!
Welcome back to EnglishPod!
My name is Marco.

E: And I’m Erica.

M: Today we’re bringing you Part II of another great lesson that we had.

E: Yes!
New Guy In Town.

M: The New Guy In Town.

E: Part Two.

M: Part Two.

E: Aha.

M: Kind of a creepy story.

E: Yes.

M: Yeah, and this one is also a little bit strange, a little bit weird.

E: Yeah, unusual outcome, unusual ending.

M: But it has to do a lot with invitations.

E: That’s right, so, an invitation is when you ask somebody to do something with you.

M: Right.

E: Uhu.

M: A dinner invitation.

E: So, we’re gonna be talking about invitations and inviting people to do things.

M: Okay.

E: Well, with that, let’s listen to the dialogue for the first time.

DIALOGUE, FIRST TIME

M: Wow!
I’m really anxious to see what happens in… in this dinner party.

E: Yeah, I guess we’ll have to stay tuned and find out…

M: For Part Three.

E: Yeah.

M: Alright, well, we have some really great vocabulary, so, I guess we can start with “language takeaway”.

Voice: Language takeaway.

M: Alright, on language takeaway today we have three great words, uh, Erica, why don’t you start it soft with the first one?

E: The first word is thoughtful.

M: Thoughtful.

E: Thoughtful.

M: Thoughtful.

E: So, when you’re thoughtful, you’re… kind, right?

M: You’re kind, you’re considerate…

E: Yes, you…

M: To other people.

E: You think about what the other person would like.

M: Right.

E: And you do that thing.

M: It’s so thoughtful of you.

E: Yeah.

M: Our second phrase – give me the creeps.

E: Give me the creeps.

M: Give me the creeps.

E: This is kind of a funny phrase, but I think if we listen to some examples, we’ll understand the meaning.

Voice: Example one.

A: Horror movies give me the creeps.

Voice: Example two.

B: Stop it!
You’re giving me the creeps.

Voice: Example three.

C: I saw this really scary clown;
he gave me the creeps.

E: So, I can see this one means to make me feel uncomfortable.

M: Right, it makes me feel…

E: Like strange…

M: Scared…

E: Yeah, scared.

M: Also.

E: Yeah.

M: Gives me the creeps.

E: Uhu.

M: And our last phrase for language takeaway – rope me into.

E: Rope me into something.

M: Rope me into something.

E: Uhu.

M: So, if you rope me into something, it’s…

E: It’s like you convince me to do something that I don’t really wanna do.

M: Right, so, I roped you into landing me your car.

E: Yes, it was a bad idea.

M: That was a bad idea.

E: And you roped me into going out for beers after work.
M: Yeah, that was a great idea.

E: Mmm.

M: Hehe.
Alright, so, rope me into.

E: Yeah.

M: Convince.

E: Yeah.

M: Alright, so, I guess we could listen to our dialogue again.

E: This time a little bit slower and you’ll be able to understand the language a little bit more clearly.

DIALOGUE, SECOND TIME (slow)

M: Well, I guess that’s a lot more clearer and with that we can start “putting it together” today.

Voice: Putting it together.

E: Today we’ve got three words and phrases that we wanna show you how you can put together and use differently.

M: Uhu.

E: The first one is appetite.

M: Appetite.

E: Appetite.

M: Appetite.

E: So, appetite is like, ah, a strong desire for food, right?

M: Right, an appetite.

E: We’ve got some examples that show you how to use this phrase;
let’s listen.

Voice: Example one.

A: Mmm, dinner smells so good;
it’s giving me an appetite.

Voice: Example two.

B: You’re sure eating a lot;
you must have a big appetite.

Voice: Example three.

C: I’m getting sick;
I have a fever and I’ve lost my appetite.

M: Okay, so, we saw some great examples of appetite.

E: Uhu.

M: You can lose your appetite.

E: That’s right.

M: You have a big appetite.

E: Uhu.

M: Small appetite.

E: A healthy appetite.

M: Right, so, it just means…

E: A desire for food.

M: Desire for foods.

E: A hunger for food.
Yeah.

M: Okay.
Great, what’s our second phrase for today?

E: Get to know someone.

M: Get to know.

E: Get to know.

M: So, when you get to know someone is you talk to them and you find out what they do.

E: Yeah, you get more familiar with them.

M: More familiar, right.

E: Uhu.

M: For example, we can say “I got to know her in Spanish class and she’s a really nice person”.

E: Yeah, or you can say “Armand, Ellen and Doris got to know each other at a dinner party”.

M: Right, or you can say “if you get to know me, you’ll see that I’m not a bad guy”.

E: Yeah.

M: Hehe.

E: That’s true.

M: Okay, get to know.

E: And our third phrase is why on earth.

M: Why on earth.

E: Why on earth.

M: Why on earth.
This is the… uh, this is like a saying…

E: Yeah.

M: ???
expression.

E: And you can use it in a lot of different ways, so, we’ve got some examples for you;
let’s listen.

Voice: Example one.

A: Where on earth is my phone?

Voice: Example two.

B: How on earth did you learn English in one month?

Voice: Example three.

C: What on earth is it?

E: So, when you ask a question with on earth - so, why on earth, how on earth, what on earth – it’s like you’re showing a lot of surprise.

M: Okay, great stuff!
So, let’s just listen to our dialogue a third time.

DIALOGUE, THIRD TIME

M: We want to know what you think happens next.

E: Yes, what happens in this dialogue next?

M: So, we want you to send us your idea of what happens next and we’re going to choose the best one.

E: That’s right, Marco and I will choose the best continuation of this story and we’ll use that in Part Three of the New Guy In Town.

M: That’s right.

E: Aha.

M: So, you can give it any direction you want.

E: That’s right.

M: And, of course, we’ll publish the name of the author.

E: Uhu.

M: With the lesson.

E: Yes.

M: I’m really anxious to see what ideas come up and how we can end this dialogue.

E: I know we’ve got a lot of really creative users out there, so, I’m really looking forward to this.

M: That’s right, that’s right, so, be sure to send us your ideas either a private message or you can post it on the comment section of…

E: That’s right.
