Musica - Frasario - Trascrizione

FLICKR - #58499153_e0c220ec61 Hello everybody! Welcome to the EnglishBlog. In this podcast, you’ll be learning some interesting English phrases on how to talk about your musical interests.
Before starting, let me first explain that the lesson is divided into two parts:
PART ONE: you’ll be listening to some useful phrases you’ll then hear a short explanation of these words, followed by an example of how they are used.
PART TWO: you’ll be listening to two people talking about their musical likes and dislikes.
So let’s start!

Woman: Now let’s learn some phrases on how to discuss your musical preferences.

Woman: Do you like “Robbie “Williams?” Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.
Man: Yes, I do, and No, I don’t, are examples of short answers. The structure is subject + auxiliary verb, as it’s considered rude to just say yes or no in English. (And giving a long answer, i.e. Yes, I like “Robbie Williams”, is not necessary for simple questions on likes and dislikes etc.
Now let’s listen to some more examples of short answers.
Woman: Do you like Britney Spears?
Man: No, I don’t. What about you?
Woman: I prefer Madonna, actually.
Woman: Are you going to the Iron Maiden concert?
Man: Yes, I am. Will you come with me to the gig?
Woman: Yes, I will.
Woman: “Do you often go to concerts?” “Do you often + verb?” is a question used to find out how many times or how frequently somebody does something.
Listen to this short conversation:
Woman: Do you often go to pubs, to listen to live music?
Man: Oh yes, at least once a week, I like listening to new talent. What about you?
Woman: Not as often as I’d like to, but, I always try to go to concerts of my favourite groups, when they are on tour.
Woman: Have you heard the latest CD by Robbie Williams? “The latest” means the most recent. For example:
Woman: I like this music, who’s singing?
Man: You are terrible with names. It’s the latest CD, Robbie Williams.
Woman: Really? I didn’t know he’d made a new one, I must buy it, before they sell out.

Woman: Now you will listen to a conversation on 2 people discussing their musical preferences in a music shop.

Woman: Do you often buy CD’s?
Man: Oh yes, I love music. My son downloads off the computer, but I like the real thing.
Woman: What kind of music do you prefer?
Man: I like everything, Jazz, Classical, Rock and even some Pop Music.
Woman: Have you heard the latest song by Kylie Minogue?
Man: Yes, I have. I think it’s fantastic. She’s my favourite pop star.
Woman: Really? What about music from the 80’s, do you have any vinyl records?
Man: Yes, I have. From the 60’s and 70’s actually. My wife tried to throw them out, but, I wouldn’t let her – there are too many memories with each song.
Woman: Now, who on earth is singing this, it sounds very loud.
Man: I think it’s Aerosmith, do you like them?
Woman: Mmm, some of their songs, but, my husband loves them, so I often have to listen to them. Have they released any new CD’s or DVD’s, let’s check, I’ll get him a present.

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 and thank you for using the EnglishBlog.
