In this special extra-large podcast, I’m joined by my friend & colleague Ben.
In Part 1, I talk about the good review of Luke’s English Podcast which we got on the iTunes store (thanks to Bookshop Worker).
In Part 2, I get to know Ben with some really common social english questions. This is a great example of a typical natural conversation in which you get to know someone.
In Part 3, Ben and I talk about going travelling and our experiences in India.
Then in Part 4, I explain the useful language we used in part 3. It’s a massive 1 hour podcast this time! I recommend that after you listen to part 4, you should listen to Part 3 again because you’ll understand it more…
不想上大学:加油,我以后就靠你复盘记笔记了(ง •̀_•́)ง加油
张萌_RQsI:Useful Language from Part 2 – The Interview with Ben. Here are some bits of language from the conversation I had with Ben. I have written explanations and advice under each bit of language. Luke: “How’s it going?” -‘How’s it going’ is a very common way to say ‘how are you?’ Ben: “Yeah, good. Just finished work for the day” … Luke: “How long have you worked there?” -This question is in the present perfect tense. We use this tense to ask a ‘how long’ question for an action that someone started in the past, but is still doing now. Ben: “I’ve worked there for 4 years now” -Again, present perfect to describe an action which started in the past and is still happening now. ‘for’ is used with a duration of time. ‘since’ would be used for a point in time, e.g. ‘I’ve worked there since 2005’ Ben: “I’ve been teaching for about 6 and a half, 7 years I think” -Ben used the present perfect continous. In this situation, present perfect continuous has the same use as present perfect. Listen to podcast 7 for more information. Luke: “Where did you work before?” Ben: “I lived in Oxford” -I used the past simple tense for this question, because it is about a finished period of time. Present Perfect – actions in an unfinished time. Past simple – actions in a finished time.

想把他朋友嘴巴里的袜子拿出来
Luke和他同事(他同事教商科的)聊起去印度的经历,非常多细节,例如被人追着要钱,买东西怕被敲竹杠,被喝水吃东西感染细菌,怕拉肚子。看到贫穷的环境又心生内疚(他没有回避殖民地的历史)
