お久（ひさ）しぶりです。

久しぶりにポッドキャストを作（つく）った。去年（きょねん）の10月（じゅうがつ）以来（いらい）だ。本当（ほんとう）は毎月（まいつき）１回（いっかい）アップロードしたいと思（おも）っていたけど、ポッドキャストを録音（ろくおん）するアプリにログインできなくなってしまって、諦（あきら）めていた。今回（こんかい）は別（べつ）のツールで作成（さくせい）してみることにした。私（わたし）のポッドキャストは特別（とくべつ）な話（はなし）をするわけでもないし、たわいもない話ばかりだけど、誰（だれ）かの文章読解（ぶんしょう・どっかい）や単語暗記（たんご・あんき）、発音（はつおん）など何（なに）かしら学習（がくしゅう）のきっかけになればいいなと思って録音してる。これからも取（と）るに足（た）らない私の話を吐（は）き出（だ）していこうと思う。また聞（き）きに来（き）てくれる人（ひと）はいるだろうか。

お久しぶりです。

WAITER: Hello, I’ll be your waiter today. Can I start you off with
something to drink?
RALPH: Yes. I’ll have iced tea, please.
ANNA: And I’ll have lemonade.
WAITER: OK. Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes?
RALPH: I think we’re ready. I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the
roast beef with mashed potatoes and peas.
WAITER: How do you want the beef — rare, medium, or well done?
RALPH: Well done, please.
ANNA: And I’ll just have the fish, with potatoes and a salad.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Can I start you off with something to drink? Notice how the question starts with 
“Can.” Since this is a yes/no question, the intonation rises at the end.
• And I’ll have lemonade. Notice how Anna stresses “I’ll” and “lemonade” to 
emphasize her choice.
• Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes? The word “or” signals 
a choice here. Notice the rising intonation on order, and the falling intonation on 
minutes (the first choice is “Are you ready to order?” and the second choice is “Do 
you need a few minutes?”).
• I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the roast beef with mashed potatoes and
peas. Notice that “tomato soup,” “roast beef,” “mashed potatoes” and “peas” are 
stressed because the food order is the important information here. Notice also that 
“tomato soup,” “roast beef” and “mashed potatoes” are compound words. The stress 
falls on the second word in each phrase.
• Well done, please. Notice that the subject and verb are omitted in the response; only 
the necessary information is given.
• I’ll just have the fish. Anna says “just” here to mean that she does not want a starter.

English Conversation practice (30-day challenge)

Day 10: 

In this week's episode of English In A Teacup, we are getting ready for Halloween. We will be learning spooky vocabulary to get into the mood as well as a curiosity in English grammar called inversion.  For students preparing for advanced-level exams (CAE, CPE, IELTS, etc.), it is important to know about inversion and how to use it in the writing sections. To help us with the subject is our fine English lady, Miss Finesstocrat, who today will be telling us about her terrible experience trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. How did she get on? Let’s put the kettle on and find out!
