LEARN BY LISTENING

Conversation with My Chinese Student From China

  In some languages, the pronunciation of the letters remains constant, never changing or change very little.  Czech and Spanish are two examples.  English isn't like this.  We have long vowels short vowels and combinations of vowels.  Sometimes the pronunciation seems to change without reason.  Moreover, the speling rarely helps. Consider these three words:  food, blue, and blew - The vowel sounds are all the same, go figure.Has anybody ever looked at you after listening and asked, 'What?'  Last week, my student said through and I heard throw and was totally lost.

Real Natural Unplanned Phone Call With My Chinese Friend

This is a clean and tidy office. A photo is displayed on the wall. It shows the Memory Stationery staff standing proud in front of a new warehouse. Everyone’s face is full of optimism.  But today the company atmosphere is tense. A4, the CEO of the company, is at his desk and on the phone; he is facing out the window at the sky. His facial expression is timid.

“I hear you, Mr. Scissors,” says A4. “But it’s impossible. I can’t take our prices down that low. You’re asking me to sacrifice our entire profit margin.”

A4 sits in silence as he listens to the response. A bead of sweat runs down the CEO’s face. The voice on the other end is frightening him.

“Sir, last month I discounted our products to the bottom line… Yes, but, please, sir, I’m just an
honest wholesaler. I promise I’m not trying to take advantage of you… Other retailers are happy to pay market rate—”

A4 suddenly pulls the phone away from his ear. The voice is furious and aggressive. It is blasting out the tiny speaker. When the harsh noise calms down, A4 puts the phone back to his ear.

“No, please, don’t cut me. Please, sir. You’re right, okay? You’re right. That was rude of me, I’m
sorry… I know. I’m a scrap. You’re right. I’m no better than a tissue. You’re right…”

A4 changes his tone. He isn’t pleading anymore. He sounds like he has given up.

“Mr. Scissors. I’ll look at our margins and call you back. There might be some way we can go down lower…”

A4 hangs up the phone. He leans back in his chair. His eyes are glazed over. He is deep in
contemplation. He imagines the brutal scenario of Mr. Scissors cutting him into a thousand pieces.

Throughout this entire time, A4 has been recording the conversation onto his paper body. This is his natural ability. A4’s unmistakable memory is the reason why he is the CEO.

A4 picks up the phone and dials a number. Life returns to his eyes.

“Backpack, get everyone together in the meeting room. I have an announcement.”

Había una vez una casa en la esquina, que tenía las
ventanas verdes. Allí vivía un ratón que se llamaba
Pancho.

Un día salió de su escondite y muy decidido se fue a
cazar gatos.

Cuando llegó al pasillo se escondió detrás de un
mueble grande que tenía muchos cajones y esperó a ver
cuando llegaba el gato.

Estando allí escondido moviendo sus bigotes, se puso
a pensar y dijo: -¡¡Anda, si los ratones no cazan gatos, es
al revés!!

Se asustó mucho.

Y le entró tanto miedo, que salió corriendo hacia su
escondite. Parecía un coche de carreras de lo deprisa que
iba.

Pancho es un ratón de lo más despistado.
