Hello everybody! Welcome to the EnglishBlog. In this podcast, you’ll be learning some interesting survival English on how to meet new people and break the ice.
Before starting, let me first explain that the lesson is divided into two parts:
PART ONE: you’ll be learning some useful questions and responses that will help you to meet new people.
PART TWO: you’ll be listening to some useful sentences on how to break the ice and even ask someone out for a date.
So let’s start!
Woman: Imagine you are on an English course in a foreign country and you would like to get to know some of your classmates better. What do you say? Here are some useful questions to help you break the ice and maybe even invite someone out:
Woman : What’s your name?
Where are you from?
How long are you staying here?
Are you enjoying the course?
Why are you studying English?
What do you do in the afternoons after the course?
Do you mind if I sit here?
Do you fancy going for a drink?
What are you doing tonight?
Would you like to go for a drink?
Woman: Now you’ll hear a short conversation between an Italian and a Finnish student on an English course.
Man: Hi, do you mind if I sit here? I saw you earlier in the lesson on phrasal verbs. Are you enjoying the course?
Woman: Yes, thanks, but, that lesson was confusing.
Man: Yes, I thought so too, it’s my first day here as I arrived late, and I didn’t understand anything. When did you arrive?
Woman: I arrived last Friday, and started the course on Monday.
Man: Where are you from?
Woman: I’m from Finland, and my name is Elma, where are you from?
Man: I’m Francesco, and I’m from Italy. Why are you learning English?
Woman: I’m doing a degree in Travel and Tourism and want to work in a hotel, so I have to speak English. What about you?
Man: Well, I’m hoping to go to university in England, so I really need to improve my English. What are you doing this afternoon? There’s nothing on the schedule.
Woman: Well, I usually revise what we study in the morning, but, I’m feeling tired after that lesson.
Man: Well, if you are not busy, would you like to go out? We could explore the city centre perhaps?
Woman: That would be nice I haven’t seen anything but books since I arrived here.
Man: Well, what about starting with one of those famous English pubs? Do you fancy a drink to relax and unwind from that lovely lesson?
Woman: That would be great! Let’s go!
Woman: If you wish you can hear this lesson again. In the meantime we hope we have helped you to be more confident with your English. Watch out for the next topic. Thank you for using the EnglishBlog.
