|
Alright, an embarrassing situation so let's listen to the dialogue for the first time and it's gonna be kind of fast. Yeah, but don't worry if you don't understand everything because after 10 minutes you'll understand everything.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Perfect. All right, let's listen.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Nick, how's it going? Oh, hey.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go

|
What are you doing in this neighborhood? Do you live around here?
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Actually, my office is right around the corner.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go

|
It was great to meet you last week at the conference. I really enjoyed our conversation about foreign investments.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Yeah, yeah, it was really interesting. You know, I'm in a bit of a hurry, but here's my card. We should definitely meet up again and continue our discussion.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Sure, you still have my contact details, right?
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
You know what? This is really embarrassing, but your name has just slipped my mind. Can you remind me?
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Sure. My name is Anna Faris. Don't worry about it. It happens to me all the time. I'm terrible with names, too.

Language takeaway.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
So our first word on our language takeaway is in a bit of a hurry. In a bit of a hurry. In a bit of a hurry. In a bit of a hurry. So Nick was in a hurry. Yeah, that's right. This is a great phrase. So let's listen to three examples of how you can use this phrase.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Example 1.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Can you drive faster? I'm in a bit of a hurry.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
I can't talk right now, I'm in a bit of a hurry.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Example 3.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I'll check these files later.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Okay, so it's clear now. Basically, it means that you don't have time. You're moving really quickly. Okay, perfect. Now let's look at our second language takeaway word, and it's contact details. Contact details. Contact details. Contact details. So what are your contact details? Basically, this is the information you can find on your business card. All right, so we have like our name, our telephone number, your email address, perhaps your mobile phone number. So all the useful information so people can get in touch with you. Yep, so people can phone you or email you. Okay, so contact details. Great. Okay, so our third word is slipped my mind. Slipped my mind. Slipped my mind. Slipped my mind. So this is a funny phrase. It's kind of strange, right? Yeah, slipped my mind. It sounds very weird. Exactly. Okay, so now we're going to listen to two examples of this phrase. Try and see if you can figure out what it means.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Example 1.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
I'm sorry I forgot to respond to your email. It just slipped my mind.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Don't you know what day it is today?
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Oh, it's your birthday! It completely slipped my mind.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Ah, so slipped my mind is like I forgot. You forgot something. Uh-huh, so... Accidentally. Right. Okay, great. Now it's time for putting it together.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Putting it together
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
yeah yeah I'm so that's is there a bank close to here exactly now this phrase around here we can change it a little bit and it means something a little bit different right I could say Marco there's a great restaurant right around the corner
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Right. And that would mean there is a great restaurant on the other street. Yep. Around the corner. Yep. Great. Or we have another example. We can say around there. Around there. Right. So, for example, I can say Los Angeles is a great city. I used to live around there. So you used to live near Los Angeles. Exactly. All right. It's a really good phrase and it's really common. Yeah.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Now our next phrase in putting it together is terrible with.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Terrible width. Terrible width.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
terrible with. So we have a couple of examples that will show you how this phrase works.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Example 1.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
You're terrible with numbers. You can't even remember your own telephone number.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
I'm terrible with directions. I'm always getting lost.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Example 3.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
I'm terrible with faces. I can never remember what people look like.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Wow, I understand that. I'm also terrible with numbers. I can barely add two plus two.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go

|

From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go

|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go

Fluency Builder.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
So with Fluency Builder, we take some very simple phrases and show you how you can be more fluent or how you can
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
sound more native. Yeah. Great. In the beginning of the dialogue, Anna said, Nick, how's it going?
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Yeah, this is a great phrase. It sounds really, really natural. You know, sometimes I hear students say, how are you?
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Those are two great phrases, but this one sounds really, really natural.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
It just sounds more casual.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Yeah, let's listen again to that phrase from the dialogue.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
How's it going?
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
How's it going?
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Great. So next time that you find a friend on the street, you can just say, hey, how's it going? Yeah. So Marco, have you ever forgotten someone's name?
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Yeah, it's happened to me a couple of times, and actually, the most embarrassing situation was that I forgot a family member's name. No! A family member's name. We had like a family reunion, and there were a lot of aunts and uncles and cousins that I hadn't seen in a while, and I just forgot one of my uncle's names, and I was... Uh-oh, that's pretty embarrassing. So what did you do? Well, I had to ask one of my other cousins. I'm like, hey, who is that guy? He's like, oh, that's Uncle John
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
I totally forgot. Yeah. So it was really embarrassing because I didn't know what to call him. So I just called him uncle. Cause I didn't know his name. Hi uncle. Yeah.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Oh yeah. So when that happens to me, when I'm in a business setting, sometimes what I do is I ask for someone's card.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Ah, yeah, that's the good technique. Yeah, or sometimes I might ask them to write down their email.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Because usually their full name is spelled out on their email address, so that's my trick when I've forgotten someone's name.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
That's a good trick. And I guess a lot of our listeners can take your advice on that.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Okay, so I think it's time for us to listen to our dialogue one more time, this time at natural speed.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go
| 1 |
|
Nick, how's it going? Oh, hey.
|
From Obsession To Murder: The Girlfriend Who Couldn’t Let Go

|
