In November 2022, I had an interesting conversation with Brian, who is a student from Singapore, currently doing an internship in Nagano, Japan. He is interested in information technologies. Here is that interview.
EASY ENGLISH GRAMMAR POINT for EPISODE #2
In today’s interview, please listen for when Brian uses the future tense. Future tense uses “will” before a verb. For example:
I will have to stay at home tomorrow.
At the end of the podcast, there will be some questions for you to try and answer.
EASY ENGLISH VOCABULARY POINT for EPISODE #2
The second thing I would like to focus on is the use of special phrases at the beginning of statements that tell the listener that you are telling them something true. These phrases that are found in today’s podcast are
“Truthfully speaking…”,
“To be honest…”, and
“Technically speaking…”.
All three of these phrases tell the listener that you are about to say some important truth about the topic. So, please try to listen for when one of the speakers uses these phrases.
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this interview with Brian.
COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS FOR EPISODE #2
