Chistes de médicos

Escucha el diálogo de una camarera con un cliente en la cafetería. 
Cliente: Buenas tardes. Me preguntaba si podría tomar una taza de café aquí.
Camarera: Sí. ¿Qué sabor le gustaría pedir, señor?
Cliente: ¿Cuántos sabores hay disponibles en este momento?
Mesero: Bueno, tenemos Expresso, Cappuccino, Macchiato, Café Turco y Long Black. También ofrecemos café descafeinado a nuestros clientes.
Cliente: Quiero dos tazas de expreso descafeinado con poca grasa, crema batida y poca azúcar.
Camarero: Está bien. ¿Sería eso todo, señor?
Cliente: Sí. ¡Una cosa más! Por favor traiga el café después de 15 minutos ya que estoy esperando a un amigo aquí. Mientras tanto, tráigame un vaso de agua.

Client: Good afternoon. I was wondering if I could have a cup of coffee here.
Waitress: Yes. What flavor would you like to order, sir?
Customer: How many flavors are available right now?
Waiter: Well, we have Expresso, Cappuccino, Macchiato, Turkish Coffee and Long Black. We also offer decaffeinated coffee to our customers.
Customer: I want two cups of low-fat decaf espresso, whipped cream, and little sugar.
Waiter: It's okay. Would that be all, sir?
Client: Yes. One more thing! Please bring the coffee after 15 minutes as I am waiting for a friend here. In the meantime, bring me a glass of water.

Two friends, Alex and Jamie, are chatting in a park.

Alex: Hey Jamie, did you hear about the surprise party tonight?

Jamie: No, I haven’t. Are you serious?

Alex: Absolutely! And don't worry, I'm just pulling your leg about the party details.

Jamie: (Looking confused) Wait, what do you mean by "pulling your leg"? Are you actually grabbing my leg?

Alex: (Laughs) No, no! "Pulling your leg" is an idiom. It means I'm just joking or teasing you. I'm not doing anything physical at all.

Jamie: Oh, I see! I thought you meant something literal.

Alex: I can understand the confusion. English idioms can be tricky. "Pulling your leg" simply means I'm kidding.

Jamie: Honestly, I always have a hard time understanding or remembering idioms. How do you do it so easily?

Alex: Well, Mrs. Smith on italki taught me all the tips and tricks for mastering them.

Jamie: Really? How do I get her to teach me too?

Alex: It's super simple, just click her picture on italki and book a lesson.

Jamie: Wow, so simple! I've just booked my lesson. I can't wait to finally get the hang of these idioms.

An action in progress can be expressed by adding the adverb “在”、“正” or “正在” before a verb or by using the modal particle “呢” at the end of a sentence. For example
wǒ zài shuì jiào 。  wǒ zài shuì jiào ne 。 
我在睡觉。=我在睡觉呢 。
tā zhènɡ liàn xí kǒu yǔ 。  tā zhènɡ liàn xí kǒu yǔ ne 。 
他正练习口语。=他正练习口语呢。
dà wèi zhènɡ zài chī fàn 。  dà wèi zhènɡ zài chī fàn ne 。 
大卫正在吃饭。=大卫正在吃饭呢。

The negative form is“没(在)+Verb/Verb Phrase”, without “呢”at the end of the sentence. For example:
wǒ méi zài kàn shū 。 
我没在看书。
