00:00That is so cute.
00:04I love that color.
00:07Bob, what do you think of our new clothes
00:11for the party tomorrow?
00:13There's a party tomorrow?
00:16It's Mr. Evans' birthday, remember?
00:20Oh, right.
00:22Am I going?
00:24Yes, you are.
00:26Okay.
00:28So, tell us what you think of our new clothes.
00:32All those clothes are for one party?
00:35No, we have to decide what to wear.
00:39What do you think of these blouses?
00:42They're very flattering.
00:44Which one do you like more?
00:47What do you mean?
00:49Which one do you prefer?
00:52I like them both the same.
00:56No, you don't.
00:58You're just saying that.
01:00You need to have an opinion.
01:01You have to choose.
01:03No, no, no.
01:04I'm not doing that.
01:06Bob, please.
01:09Help us decide what to wear.
01:12Okay.
01:16Which skirt do you like?
01:20The red one.
01:22Great.
01:24That's not so hard, is it?
01:28Which shoes look better?
01:32Those.
01:37Which sweater do you prefer?
01:41I like the purple one.
01:45Bob, you like Marie's clothes more than mine.
01:49No, I don't.
01:51That's not true.
01:58Then which dress do you prefer?
02:01That one.
02:04This is Marie's dress, too.
02:07What's wrong with my clothes?
02:08Nothing.
02:09Nothing.
02:10I like your clothes.
02:12I like Marie's clothes.
02:13I like everything.
02:14I like all dresses and all sweaters and all skirts and all shoes.
02:21Who asked you, anyway?
02:25You did.
02:31So, what are you going to wear to the party tomorrow night?
02:36A T-shirt and jeans.
02:39A T-shirt and jeans?
02:41No way.
02:43You have to wear something nicer.
02:45I don't have anything nicer.
02:51You do now.
02:53All that's for me?
02:56What do you think of these?
03:00Do you have anything looser?
03:03Yep.
03:10Too wild for me.
03:12Anything else?
03:16Here you go.
03:18I don't know.
03:21Those look pretty warm.
03:24Something cooler would be good.
03:27Why don't we look at shirts?
03:32Not bad.
03:34But it's pretty conservative, isn't it?
03:41I love this one.
03:45That doesn't look very comfortable.
03:52Try this.
03:55That looks a little cheap.
03:58Do you have anything more expensive?
04:01That's it.
04:02I'm taking it all back to the store.
04:04But what am I wearing tomorrow?
04:07Just wear a T-shirt and jeans.
04:16Hello, Mr. Rashid.
04:18Hi, how are you?
04:19Fine, thank you.
04:20How was your vacation?
04:21It was wonderful.
04:22I'm so happy to hear that.
04:24Was your flight okay?
04:25No, pretty bad, actually.
04:27It was so bumpy.
04:28It was very scary.
04:30That's too bad.
04:32Did you have nice weather after you arrived?
04:34No.
04:35The weather was terrible.
04:36Very rainy.
04:37I actually never saw the sun.
04:40That's awful.
04:42So what did you do?
04:43I stayed inside the hotel.
04:45Was the hotel room nice?
04:47The room was fine.
04:48But it was right next to the cafe.
04:50And the music was very loud.
04:52I didn't sleep much.
04:54I'll bet the food was great.
04:56No.
04:57It was too salty for me.
04:58And the waiters were very unfriendly.
05:00Did you go shopping at all?
05:02A little bit.
05:03Until someone stole my wallet.
05:05And I had to pay for it.
05:07Did you sleep at all?
05:08A little bit.
05:09Until someone stole my wallet.
05:11After that, I stayed in the hotel and read a book.
05:14Was the flight home okay?
05:16Actually, they canceled my flight.
05:18I had to stay for two more days.
05:21That's terrible.
05:23But, Mr. Rashid, you said that your vacation was wonderful.
05:28Yes, I did.
05:29And it was wonderful.
05:31I met a very nice person.
05:32A woman, actually.
05:33Her name is Basmar.
05:35She has a husband just like me.
05:36But she lives here.
05:38I'm seeing her tonight.
05:39So, yes.
05:40It was a wonderful vacation.
05:42That's great, Mr. Rashid.
05:47Yes.
05:49Mr. Rashid, welcome back.
05:51Come tell me about your vacation.
05:59What a terrible vacation Mr. Rashid had.
06:02Oh.
06:04You know, on my vacation last year, someone stole my car.
06:09That was a horrible vacation.
06:11I went on a cruise and there was an outbreak of illness.
06:16I was in my room for a week.
06:18That was a really bad vacation.
06:20I went to Disney World and someone stole my map.
06:24That's your worst vacation?
06:27It took ten minutes to get another map.
06:30All right.
06:31What was your favorite vacation?
06:33I spent two weeks in the Caribbean last year.
06:36Diving, snorkeling, and swimming with dolphins.
06:40It was amazing.
06:41I went to China a few years ago.
06:44It was incredible.
06:46The people there were so friendly.
06:48And everyone wanted to practice their English with me.
06:51I went to the beach and ate shrimp.
06:57That's your best vacation?
06:59I really like shrimp.
07:01Well, you need to go on more exciting vacations.
07:05I don't like exciting vacations.
07:07In fact, I don't like to travel very much.
07:10Then why do you work in a travel agency?
07:14It's across the street from my apartment.
07:16So I don't have to travel far to go to work.
07:30So, Mrs. Beatty, we should talk about your safari trip to Botswana.
07:35I'm so excited.
07:37My first time in Africa.
07:39You're going to be flying in to Johannesburg, South Africa.
07:43Would you like a window or an aisle?
07:46A window.
07:47I want to see everything.
07:49In Johannesburg, you should take a taxi or a limo to your hotel.
07:53The next day, you could fly to Johannesburg.
07:57The next day, you could fly or you could take a train to Francistown in Botswana.
08:04Is it an express train?
08:06Yes.
08:07I'll take the train. I'd like to see the country.
08:10Great.
08:11Then after you see Francistown, you can take a small plane or a bus to the Okavango Delta.
08:19How small is the airplane?
08:21It's pretty small.
08:23I'll take the bus.
08:25Is it an express bus?
08:27I think so.
08:29When you get to Gomare, you're going to be taking a boat to your hotel.
08:34A boat?
08:35The hotel is on an island.
08:38When you get to the island, a man with a donkey can take your luggage to the hotel.
08:44A donkey?
08:46There are no cars on the island.
08:48Is it an express donkey?
08:51I think it's probably a local donkey.
08:55Of course, if you don't want the donkey, you could take a small plane.
08:59It goes straight to the hotel.
09:02I think I should take the donkey.
09:04Donkeys never have mechanical problems, right?
09:08Right.
09:18Hello, Mrs. Beatty.
09:20Hi. Hello, Paul.
09:21Where are you traveling to now?
09:23Mrs. Beatty is going on a safari in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
09:28Nice.
09:29Are you flying in or are you taking the train, bus, boat, donkey route?
09:33I'm going to be taking the donkey.
09:35I did that once myself.
09:37You did?
09:38Was it very exciting?
09:39Oh, it was.
09:40On the way there, the plane had mechanical problems.
09:43That sounds scary.
09:44We got in late, and I missed the train to Francistown, so I decided to take a bus.
09:50But I got on the local bus by mistake.
09:53I don't like local buses.
09:55Then the bus had an accident.
09:58So I rented a car, but it broke down.
10:01Oh, dear.
10:02I got to Gamari two days late.
10:05Then I got seasick on the boat to the island.
10:07Oh, my.
10:09Did you have any problems with the donkey?
10:11I got bumped from the donkey.
10:13You mean they overbooked the donkey?
10:16No, I mean the donkey bumped me off the road to the hotel.
10:20Hee-haw, hee-haw.
10:21Ah!
10:24But it was a very exciting trip.
10:26You'll love Africa.
10:28So, any questions, Mrs. Beatty?
10:31Just one.
10:32How much is a ticket to Paris?
10:43Hey, here comes Bob.
10:46Yeah, he wants to sell me his digital camera.
10:49Hi, how was dinner?
10:52Great.
10:53What do you have there?
10:55The best digital camera money can buy.
11:01Paul, that's the same camera you lo...
11:05Why are you selling it?
11:07I have two.
11:08Cheryl gave me another one for my birthday.
11:12It's not bad.
11:14How much do you want?
11:16$250.
11:18Wow, that's a great...
11:20That's more than I want to pay.
11:22But that's less than...
11:24I can give you $200 for it.
11:26No, I need at least $245.
11:30Sorry, all I have is $210.
11:33There's an ATM, right?
11:36I could go as low as $230, but that's it.
11:40Sorry.
11:41Thanks anyway.
11:43All right.
11:45I'll sell it to somebody else.
11:49What are you doing?
11:51You almost bought that camera yesterday for $300.
11:55You don't know how to bargain, do you?
11:57Bargain?
11:59Of course I know how to bargain.
12:01You don't know how to bargain.
12:03You could buy that camera for $230, but now it's gone.
12:09All right.
12:11You can have it for $225.
12:13$220.
12:15$224.
12:16$221.
12:17$223.
12:18$222, not a dollar more.
12:21I'm not selling this for less than $223.
12:27Here.
12:29Here's one dollar.
12:32Now you both get what you want.
12:34It's a deal.
12:35I'll get some money from the ATM.
12:37Great.
12:38You said I don't know how to bargain.
12:59Thanks.
13:03Thanks for dinner.
13:05My pleasure.
13:07I saved a lot of money on the camera.
13:11Should I leave the tip?
13:13No.
13:14I'll put it on the credit card.
13:18Five dollars?
13:20That's not enough.
13:22Sure it is.
13:24The bill was $50.
13:26That's only 10%.
13:28So?
13:31Didn't you like the food?
13:33It was good.
13:35Was there a problem with the service?
13:37No.
13:39Then you need to leave at least 15%.
13:42No, I don't.
13:44Paul, we come here all the time.
13:47The waitress gives us great service because we usually tip well.
13:51I always leave 10%.
13:54Have a nice evening.
13:56We're not quite ready.
13:58No problem.
14:00Look.
14:02I'm paying tonight.
14:04So I get to decide how much to tip.
14:07Oh.
14:09All right.
14:11Hey.
14:13Isn't that Mr. Evans over there?
14:15Where?
14:19Never mind.
14:21It's someone else.
14:23Shall we go?
14:51Thank you very much.
14:53You're welcome.
14:59That was the last time I was there.
15:01Right.
15:02Marie, this is Ms. Novak.
15:04She's from Chicago.
15:06Marie is our receptionist.
15:08It's nice to meet you.
15:09It's nice to meet you, too.
15:10I'll get your tickets.
15:18You look very familiar to me, Marie.
15:21Have we met before?
15:22I don't think so, no.
15:24Well, I never forget a face.
15:28I'm sure I know you from somewhere.
15:31I don't look familiar to you.
15:34I'm sorry, no.
15:36I know.
15:38We met in Chicago.
15:40You were a waitress in a restaurant near the Art Institute.
15:44I've never been to Chicago.
15:46Oh.
15:48Have you ever driven a taxi in Egypt?
15:50No.
15:53Oh, you were the pilot on a small airplane in China.
15:58You flew me over the Great Wall.
16:01No.
16:04Have you ever gone snorkeling in Australia?
16:08No.
16:10Driven a bus in Peru?
16:12No.
16:13Ms. Novak, I'm quite sure we've never met before.
16:16I came here only a year ago from Paris.
16:19Paris?
16:21Well, my sister, Katerina, lived there for a year.
16:25Katerina?
16:27Katerina Novak?
16:29Yes.
16:30She lived with me.
16:32Of course, you were in all the pictures she sent home.
16:37What a coincidence.
16:39You see, I never forget a face.
16:48I have your tickets.
16:49Oh, thank you.
16:50Did you know that Marie knows my sister, Katerina?
16:53Really?
16:54It's a small world, isn't it?
16:56So, are you going sightseeing before you leave?
16:59No, I'm going back to the hotel to read.
17:02What?
17:03You're visiting our great city and you're not even going to see it?
17:06I've come here once a month for eight years.
17:09I've seen it all before.
17:11I'm sure I can think of something you haven't seen.
17:14I think you're wrong.
17:16Have you visited the Riley Museum of Art?
17:19Twenty times.
17:22Have you ever been to the top of the Olsen Building?
17:25Just last month.
17:27Have you eaten at Andre's Cafe?
17:30Twice.
17:33Ever been to Cold Beach?
17:35Yes.
17:37Seen the City Opera?
17:39Yes.
17:41Toured the Japanese Gardens?
17:43Yes.
17:45You can't have done everything in this city.
17:47I'm afraid it's true.
17:54Have you ever visited the Museum of Cheese?
17:57There's no Museum of Cheese.
18:00Ah-ha.
18:02It is really amazing.
18:04Everyone goes there.
18:06I can't believe you haven't been there yet.
18:09Marie, could you call the Museum of Cheese in reserve for me?
18:13Could you call the Museum of Cheese in reserve tickets for Ms. Novak and me?
18:18You're not serious.
18:20I am.
18:21It's at the corner of Seventh and Oak.
18:23I'll see you there at four.
18:25Okay.
18:26I'll see you there.
18:29Goodbye, Marie.
18:30Say hello to Katrina for me.
18:33Goodbye.
18:34Bye.
18:36Mr. Evans, is there really a Museum of Cheese at Seventh and Oak?
18:42It's a wonderful little cheese shop.
18:44They have every kind of cheese.
18:46Some of it's very old.
18:48So, yes, I'd say it's a Museum of Cheese.
18:51Ms. Novak will love it.

21:33Or, don't mention it.
21:35Mention it.
21:37Don't mention it.
21:38Don't mention it.
21:39Okay, T here, we don't have to pronounce T.
21:42Don't mention it.
21:43Don't mention it.
21:45My pleasure.
21:47My pleasure.
21:48Giving compliments is when you say good things about somebody,
21:52or you want to express your admiration for somebody.
21:56There are many things about a person that we can give compliments on,
22:01and today we're going to study how to give compliments on someone's appearance.
22:08Appearance.
22:11You know, somebody's appearance is, you know, how that person looks,
22:16you know, their body shape, their face, or their hair, things like that.
22:22I will introduce to you five structures today.
22:27Now, number one, you can say,
22:30You look, and then you can add an adjective.
22:34You look great.
22:36You look great.
22:37Remember,
22:39Great.
22:40You look great.
22:42Now, or you can say,
22:44You look nice.
22:45You look nice.
22:48Remember, C, E here,
22:50Nice.
22:51You look nice.
22:53Now, or you can say,
22:55You look perfect.
22:57Okay?
22:58Perfect.
23:00Perfect.
23:01You look perfect.
23:04Or you can say,
23:05You look very handsome.
23:08Handsome, remember, we usually use for men or boys.
23:13Okay?
23:14So, you look very handsome.
23:16Don't say handsome or handsome, okay?
23:19Handsome.
23:20Handsome.
23:21You look very handsome.
23:24Now, you look really beautiful.
23:27Beautiful usually for girls or for women.
23:31Really beautiful.
23:34Remember, T here.
23:37You can say beautiful or T that is not stressed.
23:41Okay?
23:42Beautiful is stressed.
23:44In this one, beautiful.
23:45Okay?
23:46So, if T that is not stressed, you can pronounce as soft D.
23:49Okay?
23:50Beautiful.
23:51So, beautiful or beautiful, they seem.
23:54Really beautiful.
23:56You look really beautiful.
23:58So, again, you can say,
24:00You look great.
24:01You look nice.
24:02You look perfect.
24:04You can use for men or women or anyone.
24:08But remember, very handsome for men and boys
24:12and beautiful for women and girls.
24:15You look very handsome.
24:17Or you look really beautiful.
24:20Or you can say,
24:21You look really good looking.
24:24But, you know, you look and then good looking
24:28I think it's not really good to say that one, right?
24:32Okay.
24:33You look and then you look good looking.
24:36Not really good.
