Asking about Family Members

JIM: Who’s the tall woman next to Barbara?
CHARLES: That’s her friend Mary. Didn’t you meet her at 
Steve’s party?
JIM: No, I wasn’t at Steve’s party.
CHARLES: Oh! Then let me introduce you to her now. Mary, this is
my friend Jim.
MARY: Hi, Jim. Nice to meet you.
JIM: You, too. Would you like a drink?
MARY: Sure, let’s go get one.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• “Who’s” is the contracted form of who is. It is pronounced the same way as “whose” (/
huwz/), but the meaning is different.
• Didn’t you meet her …? Notice that this is a negative question. Charles thought that Jim 
had met Mary before. He is now surprised that Jim does not know Mary, and so he uses a 
negative question to show his surprise.
• I wasn’t at Steve’s party. Notice that the emphasis here is on “at” although prepositions 
normally have weak stress. In this case, “at” means “there” (I wasn’t there).
• Mary, this is my friend Jim. This is a friendly way to introduce two people. It’s 
common to follow this with “Jim, this is Mary.” In this case, Mary says “Hi, Jim” first.
• Nice to meet you. This is a typical response after you’ve been introduced to someone.
• “Sure” is often used in informal conversation to mean “yes.”

Number culture is an important part in Chinese culture. In this radio, I will briefly introduce number one, number three and number 4. After listening this radio, you will know why Chinese people dislike number 4 in daily life.

Phonics Long Vowels

Long vowels with ight

„ö“ ist besonders wichtig, wenn man zwischen Indikativ und Konjunktiv II wechseln möchte. Vor allem beim Verb: konnten - könnten

Die richtige Aussprache klingt im Englishen eigentlich wie das Wort Vogel „bird“. Man könnte das Wort auch wie  „börd“ aussprechen. 

Viel Spaß beim Hören, Erkennen und Mitmachen:

Lena öffnete fröhlich die große Holztröte. „Können wir morgen über die Brücke stöbern?“, tönte es plötzlich. Überrascht schob Lena die blöde Tröte zurück ins Körbchen. Ihr Löwe, der flauschige Stofflöwe, nickte. „Natürlich, Löwi! Aber vorher müssen wir flöten üben.“ Lena stöpselte den roten Kopfhörer an und drückte auf „Play“. Flötentöne flossen fröhlich durchs Zimmer. „Höchst motivierend!“, dachte Löwi, rollte sich zusammen und döste ein. Lena, glücklich über Löwis Geduld, spielte weiter. Doch plötzlich ertönte ein lauter Knall – das Stöpselgerät explodierte! „Blöd gelaufen!“, murrte sie, zog die Decke über Löwi und schlief ebenfalls ein.
