Amore - Lettura - Trascrizione

FLICKR - #58499153_e0c220ec61Woman: Hello everybody! Welcome to the EnglishBlog. In this podcast, you’ll be learning some interesting survival English on how to find your soul mate.
Before starting, let me first explain that the lesson is divided into two parts:
PART ONE: you’ll be learning some English expressions on how to describe a person’s marital status.
PART TWO: you’ll be listening to information on how to find a new partner.
So let’s start!

Woman: Now you’ll learn how to say if you have a girlfriend or boyfriend.
Woman: I’m single.
Man: That means I don’t have a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
Man: Excuse me do you have a boyfriend?
Woman: Not, at the moment, I’m single.
Woman: I’m seeing someone.
Man: That means going out on dates with a new boyfriend or girlfriend. Listen to this example:
Man: Excuse me do you have a boyfriend?
Woman: yes, I’ve been seeing Frances for 3 months now.
Woman: I’m engaged.
Man: That means you have a fiancée, and are planning to get married. Listen to this short conversation:
Man: Why are you wearing a diamond ring? Have you got engaged?
Woman: Yes, my fiancé proposed to me last week, it was so romantic. I can’t believe we’re engaged. We’re planning to get married next summer.
Woman: I have a partner
Man: This is very politically correct. But, implies a person lives with somebody or is married. For example:
Man: Are you single?
Woman: No.
Man: Are you married?
Woman: No, but, I have a partner, we’ve been living together for 5 years now.

Woman : Now let’s listen to some novel ways on how to meet a new partner. This article is adapted from the BBC.

Man: "I never meet anyone new. There aren't any single people out there!". These are some of the excuses that people give for being single, but there are people everywhere and many of them are also looking for a partner. You can try clubs, pubs, wine bars and parties, but there's plenty of other less obvious places where you can meet your potential partner: in the office lift, on the train, or even at the supermarket, so you should always be on the look out Here are a few suggestions:
Join an evening class: it can help you make many new friends especially if you go for a drink with your classmates after the lesson
Join a dance class: it’s a fantastic place to meet people and have fun if nothing else.
Go shopping: supermarkets are another good place to meet people and with practice you'll be able to spot the singles shopping for one.

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.

    Non sarebbe male se aggiungeste le trascrizioni come lyrics negli mp3, i player le vedrebbero stile "sottotitolo".
