Hello, it is Elizabeth, and today we will be talking about everyday language, but more

2
00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:12,160
specifically, we are going to be talking about arranging to meet.

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:19,359
Alrighty, so your book gives you this example, which I'm going to tell you about, and then

4
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:22,379
we're going to talk about making our own examples to practice.

5
00:00:23,539 --> 00:00:27,100
So, do you want to come to the skate park?

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,079
I'm sorry, I can't.

7
00:00:31,079 --> 00:00:39,600
I have to do my homework. Hmm. I would like to come, but I've got a guitar lesson.

8
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:52,759
Hmm. What about Sunday afternoon? I'm free then. I'm free too. So this is a conversation.

9
00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:58,679
So there's two people talking. So someone is asking and someone is answering.

10
00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:07,560
all right so first let's just talk a little bit about what arranging to meet even means

11
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:14,719
so what does that mean so if you're arranging to meet it means that you are making plans with

12
00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:23,359
someone asking them to join you at a certain time or a certain place for or maybe for a certain

13
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:33,260
activity. And that means the answer can be yes or no. But in conversational English, usually we

14
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:42,680
don't just say yes or no. We say why, or we make plans for a different time. And that is the

15
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:51,519
arranging part. We are arranging to meet. All righty. So this uses everyday language that is

16
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:54,659
super easy to practice at home.

17
00:01:54,659 --> 00:01:57,760
For example, you can practice with your family

18
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,760
and you can say, do you want to come to the kitchen?

19
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:07,560
And they can say, no, I can't, I have to do the laundry.

20
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,180
Or would you like to meet me in the living room?

21
00:02:14,539 --> 00:02:18,039
And they might answer, yes, I would love to.

22
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:20,219
Maybe we can watch a movie.

23
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,560
or you can also write a story

24
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,060
and the characters can be having a conversation

25
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:31,599
where they arrange to meet.

26
00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:35,360
So there's many different ways you can practice this.

27
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,939
All right, have fun with it

28
00:02:36,939 --> 00:02:39,180
and I will see you in my next video.

29
00:02:39,180 --> 00:02:41,000
Thank you, bye-bye.
