    Free Lesson: Daily English 229 - Irritating Co-workers

    Learn how to talk about coworkers who annoy you and how to settle it in English. Dialogue/Story Since our office reorganization, I've been sharing an office with Isabel. We've been getting on each other's nerves. Pete: Hey, Isabel, can you cut that out? Isabel: Cut what out? I'm not doing anything. Pete: You're tapping your pencil on your desk. It's driving me crazy. Isabel: Okay, I will if you'll stop slurping your coffee. Pete: I don't slurp my coffee. And plus, how can you hear it when you're shouting into your phone all the time? Isabel: You've got to be kidding me! You're complaining about me talking on the phone when your friend Deepak stops by ten times a day to shoot the breeze? I can't stand that guy. Pete: It's no skin off my nose if you don't like Deepak. Look, we have a lot of pent-up anger from working in these close quarters, and it's probably okay to let off steam once in a while. But, it's probably not a good idea to keep it up. I'm willing to forgive and forget if you are. Isabel: Fine. Let's call a truce. I'll try to be more considerate and to keep the noise down. Pete: Yeah, I'll try to do the same.

    Daily English 653 - Reading Product Reviews

    Script: Dominic: Do you want some help with that box? Andrea: Sure, thanks. Dominic: What is it? Andrea: It’s a new TV. My old one has been on the fritz for a week and I needed a new one. Dominic: Is this a highly-rated model? Andrea: Highly-rated? I just went to the electronics store and bought it. It was on sale. Dominic: You mean you didn’t read up on it before you bought it? You didn’t look at the reviews? Andrea: No, I never do that. I think that’s a waste of time. I go with my gut. Dominic: But if you read the reviews, you’ll know which product gives you the best value, which is the most reliable and durable, and which company has good customer support. Nobody wants to buy something that’s defective or poorly designed. Don’t you care about those things? Andrea: Maybe, but who has time to do that? Instead, I go to the store and see which one I like overall. If it’s on sale, that’s all the better. That’s worked for me so far. Dominic: Is that how you bought your old TV? Andrea: Yeah. Dominic: Enough said.

    Daily English 652 - Outdoor Advertising

    Script: Kam: Okay, the purpose of our meeting today is to listen to some ideas for our new advertising campaign. Gina, take it away. Gina: Thanks, Kam. I’m going to talk today about outdoor advertising. I know that it’s a new area for us and it hasn’t been on our radar in the past, but I know it’ll work well for our new campaign. Kam: Can we talk specifics? Gina: Sure. There are several types of outdoor advertising. One is the billboard, both the traditional kind and the digital ones. Advertising on ones in high-traffic areas will give us a lot of exposure. To get even more exposure all over town, we can use mobile advertising. Kam: You mean advertise on buses? Gina: Yes, more and more, products are being advertised on buses and cars. These wraps can also be put on the side of buildings and other structures. There really are a lot of outdoor advertising options, from bench ads to skywriting. Kam: That’s all very interesting, but which of these methods do you recommend? Gina: I think we should use all of them – blanket the city with our new ads. Kam: All of them? Gina: Yes, all of them. You know what they say: “Go big or go home.”

    Daily English 651 - Psychological Disorders

    Script: Brett: Hi, Dr. Mollie. Could I speak to you for a few minutes? Dr. Mollie: Certainly. Have a seat. Brett: I’m really enjoying your psychology class and I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions. Dr. Mollie: Sure, go ahead. Brett: Well, I have a friend who is nervous all the time, especially around other people. Could he have a serious problem? Dr. Mollie: It’s hard to say without knowing your friend, but he may have an anxiety disorder or some type of phobia. Brett: I was afraid of that. Well, I have another friend who has mood swings all the time and washes his hands 50 times a day. Dr. Mollie: Again, I don’t know your friend so it’s hard to make a diagnosis, but he may have a bipolar disorder and may also be obsessive-compulsive. Brett: That sounds really serious. Well, I have another friend who doesn’t eat and sits around all day playing with fire. That’s bad, isn’t it? Dr. Mollie: It could be. Your friend may have an eating disorder and his interest in fire may indicate that he has pyromania, but it’s very hard to say. Brett: Did I mention that he likes to steal things, too? Dr. Mollie: People who feel compelled to steal may have kleptomania. Who are all of these friends you’re talking about? Do I know them? Brett: No, definitely not. Dr. Mollie: Hmm, would your “friends” like to make an appointment with a therapist? It sounds like it may be a good idea. Brett: No, no. My “friends” wouldn’t like that. He has a real fear of doctors.

    Daily English 650 - Buying Television and Movie Programs

    Script: Cameron: What did you get for Christmas? James: I got a box set of my favorite TV show of all time, the McQ Files. It contains all five seasons of the show, deleted scenes, and outtakes. I can’t wait to watch it all! Cameron: Didn’t you see the entire series when it was shown on TV? James: I did, but the bonus features make it a must-have for a big fan like me. Cameron: I just don’t see why people spend good money buying shows they’ve already seen. James: Hey, wait a second. Didn’t you run out and buy the Podinator trilogy box set when it went on sale last month? Cameron: Uh, yeah, but that’s different. Those are movies, not TV shows. The Podinator box set had the director’s cut and commentary, not to mention never-before-released scenes. James: Hadn’t you seen all three movies when they were shown in the theaters? Cameron: Yes, but… James: And don’t you own all three movies on video already? Cameron: Well, maybe I do but… James: Then I don’t see why you needed to buy the box set. I think it’s best that you give it to me. Cameron: Touché.
