    Daily English 617 - Buying Bathroom Supplies

    Script: Jan: We’re almost done. We just need to get some bathroom supplies for Kimberly. Tim: Okay, here are some towels, a bathmat and a bathroom scale. Don’t forget the cleaning supplies. She’ll need some rubber gloves, disinfectant, bowl cleaner, and a plunger. Jan: All right. We have all that. Where are you going? Tim: She’ll need a soap dish and a toothbrush holder. She’ll need a trashcan, too. Jan: Okay, I think we’re all done. Kimberly is moving into an apartment with college roommates, not starting her own bathroom supply store. Let’s not go overboard. Tim: I just need to get a couple more things. Jan: What? Tim: I’m buying her 10 packages of toilet paper and 20 boxes of Kleenex. She’ll be living on her own for the first time and she’ll need all that. Jan: Ten packages of toilet paper and 20 boxes of Kleenex?! She can shop for herself, you know. You don’t need to buy her a six-month supply. Tim: Clearly you don’t know college students. They’ll go through that in a week!

    Daily English 616 - Having a Business Mentor

    Script: Alex: Where are you going? Kenya: I’m going to meet my business mentor. Alex: Your business mentor? What do you do with a business mentor? Kenya: Well, my mentor is like an advisor. We meet regularly and I get her feedback and guidance with my ideas on starting a business. Alex: Oh, so you’re her protégé? Kenya: No, I’m not. I simply go to her with my ideas and she helps me hash them out. She’s a successful entrepreneur and I’m there to learn from her experience. Alex: How did you get her to be your mentor? Were you already friends? Kenya: No, I contacted her out of the blue, actually. I’ve read about her company and her many successes, and I wrote her a letter telling her about me and what I hope to accomplish. She agreed to meet with me, and at that first meeting, we really clicked and now we meet once a month. Alex: That’s very generous of her. What does she get out of it? Kenya: I’m not sure, but I think she enjoys giving me pointers and sharing her expertise. I’m very appreciative and she says I remind her a lot of herself when she was my age. I take that as a huge compliment. Alex: You should. If you’re like her, you’ll be a multi-millionaire in no time flat.

    Daily English 615 - Watching Daytime Talk Shows

    Script: Sally: Why are wasting your time on your day off watching these daytime talk shows? Jerry: I think they’re entertaining. Sally: You’ve got to be kidding. The only people who are booked as guests on those shows are losers or exhibitionists who want attention. Jerry: No, they’re not. These shows are all about human drama and tragedy, something we can all relate to. Sally: Give me a break! The people who appear on these shows want fame at any cost and the producers of the shows exploit them for ratings. They’re full of salacious details that nobody should talk about in public, and that I certainly don’t want to hear. Jerry: I completely disagree. If you get off your high horse for a minute, you may learn something. Sally: Like what? Jerry: Like how to get rid of an annoying wife and get away with it!

    Daily English 614 - Experiencing an Earthquake

    Script: Jamal: Did you feel that? Keisha: Was that an earthquake? Jamal: Yes, I think so. Turn on the news. Newscaster: “Reports are coming in about an earthquake that occurred at 4:35 p.m. in the downtown area. We spoke with a seismologist at the Earthquake Center and learned that the earthquake had a magnitude of 3.2 on the Richter scale. The epicenter was near downtown, along one of the major faults, and the seismologist warns that there will be some aftershocks.” Keisha: Phew! I’m glad the earthquake wasn’t a high-intensity one. I wish they could predict more accurately when those earthquakes are going to happen. Jamal: Yeah, me, too. I’ve looked around the house and don’t see any damage, though. I guess our house won’t be declared a disaster area. Keisha: Don’t be too sure. Considering the mess you’ve made in kitchen, it could easily be called a disaster area. Jamal: In that case, will you be sending aid? I think I’m too tired to do the dishes. Keisha: You won’t be getting any aid from me. If you’re hoping for a relief effort, you’d better ask the UN.

    Free Lesson: Daily English 18 - Seeing Old Friends

    In this free lesson, you will learn how to talk about seeing old friends again. Lucy tells a short story about a busy month of meeting people from her past. You will learn natural English expressions for making plans and staying in touch, like "swing by," "make time," "keep in touch," and "catch up." Dialogue/Story This has been a month for seeing old friends. I got an email a couple of weeks ago from an old friend from college. She and her family are visiting L.A. for a week. They plan to see family and to visit old friends. Since she moved away, I hadn't seen her in ages. I'm looking forward to meeting her new kids and seeing her again. Another old friend called this week. She and I were buddies when we were young. She plans to swing by L.A. on her way to San Francisco. We've made plans to have lunch. She works in Washington D.C. and is normally very busy. I'm glad she could make time for us to get together. When we say good-bye to our friends, we always hope to keep in touch. But, what with this and that, it's sometimes hard to do. With friends that I've fallen out of touch with, it's sometimes hard to meet again and pick up where we left off. We've both moved on to a different phase in our lives. Some of my old friends have become very successful, and are living lives in the fast lane. Other friends are having a more difficult time and are just making ends meet. But, no matter how they're doing, it's always nice to touch base again. I'm really looking forward to seeing these old pals and catching up after all this time. We just won’t mention how much we’ve aged.
