Tom the teacher
Tom: Hi, I'm Tom. At the end of every podcast you'll hear from me. I'm ing to talk about some of the language you heard in the programmes and talk about ways to help you learn English.
Remember Carolina in the airport? Listen to part of her conversation again.
Immigration Officer: Is this your first visit to the UK?
Carolina: Yes it is.
Immigration Officer: And what are you going to do here?
Carolina: I'm a student. I'm going to study at the University of Newcastle.
Tom: Carolina and the Immigration Officer are talking about the future - Carolina's time in Britain. To talk about the future they both use 'going to'. The Immigraon Officer says " And what are you going to do here? " and Carolina says " I'm going to study at the University of Newcastle ".They both used 'going to' to talk about the future because they are talking about plans. When the Immigration Officer says " What are you going to do here?" he's asking Carolina what her plan is.
And she says " I'm going to study " because that's her plan - she decided it before she left Venezuela.
So, we use " going to " to talk about future plans.
But listen to another part of Carolina's conversation.
Immigration Officer: Thank you. And how long is the course? How long do you intend to stay in the country?
Carolina: Three years.
Immigration Officer: Three years. Hmm.
Carolina: Yes, that's right.
Immigration Officer: Do you intend to work in this country?
Carolina: Oh no, no, I'm not going to work, well maybe in the university holidays, but the British Embassy in Caracas said that was OK.
Tom: The Immigration Officer said " How long do you intend to stay in the country? " and " Do yo intend to work in this country? " Again he was asking about Carolina's future plans - but he said " Do you intend ". " Intend " is a formal way to talk ask about plans. You might hear this verb, " intend ", at an airport immigration desk or on a immigration form. It's another way to ask about your plans. One more thing.
Did you notice that when Carolina arrived at the desk the Immigration
Officer said " Good evening "? He didn't say " Goodnight ". Do you know why not? We only say " goodnight " when we say goodbye or when we go to bed. When we meet someone after around 5 o'clock in the afternoon we say " Good evening " and we only say " goodnight " to people before we go home or before we go to bed.
OK. In another part of the show we heard Daniel and Alice playing a game. Listen to part of it again.
Tess: You've got ten seconds to write down things you can find in a kitchen... OK, Daniel how many?
Daniel: Erm, five, Tess.
Tess: How about you, Alice?
Alice: Erm, seven, I think.
Tess: OK, let's hear your seven words, Alice.Things you find in a kitchen.
Alice: Erm fridge. Cooker. Pans. Plates. Knife, fork, spoon.
Tom: I hope all of you have a notebook where you keep new words - a vocabulary notebook. Think about how you put new words into your notebook.
Do you put them in alphabetically? All the words beginning with 'A', then all the words beginning with 'B'? Or do you organise your new word another way? Some people put words into their notebooks in word families. They put words together that are connected in some way.
For example, you could have a page in your vocabulary notebook called 'kitchen' and you could keep all the words from the game - fridge,cooker, pan - all of thosewords - on the 'kitchen'page of your notebook. You could have pages for,
say, sports - 'football','ennis' 'bowling' and so on.And you can write more than just the words - you can write the verbs that go with the words - 'play football but 'go' bowling or 'go' ski-ing. There's no right way or wrong way to keep your new vocabulary. You have to find the way that helps you remember the new words.
OK. Oh, erm, by the way, if there are any words from the game that you don't know remember that you can find them on the website. You can read all of the podcast and if you click on a word it'll take you to a dictionary that tells you what the
word means. We'll give you that address again at the end - so go and find a pen to write it down!
Right, finally, after every podcast I'll try to show you something that you can try to use in your own English. This week I heard this interesting expression:
Carolina: Excuse me. Am I in the right line for immigration?
Woman: Erm, I don't know dear. It depends. What nationality are you?
Tom: Now. There are two things there I want to talk about. Firstly, the old lady called Carolina " dear " - she said " I don't know dear ". Sometimes older people might call you " dear ". It's a friendly affectionate thing to do. But be careful! It might sound a bit strange if you try to use it yourself.
The other thing I noticed was that the old lady said "It depends". She didn't know the answer because she needed more information. Can you translate " it depends" into your language? Try to use it in English this week.
OK. I'm going to stop there. I'll talk to you all again next time. Remember you can send your questions to me at learnenglishpodcast@britishcouncil.org. I'll be
happy to answer your questions! In a moment you'll hear the address forthe website where you can read everything you'veheard in this podcast.
Right. That's all for this time. Bye for now! Seeyou next time.
