hey there and welcome to English for everyone my name is Lisa and my name is Kevin today we're going to do part two of the dialogue a scary night you're going to learn some new words and we're also going to talk about American pronunciation let's get started so Kevin is going to ask me some questions about part one to recap what happened let's get started did Sophia get home late yes she got home late and did she have trouble finding a parking spot yes she had trouble finding a parking spot and did she notice two guys following her yes she noticed two guys following her so what did she do she crossed the street hoping that they would stay on their side of the street and did they no they didn't they crossed the street to follow her so what did she do did she start running yes she started running as fast as she could and did they get her no luckily she got away that's a relief so let's practice with part two of the dialogue I think they were muggers but luckily I got away it could have been much worse you were lucky you should probably try to walk with a companion if possible I guess you're right it's just that if I'm coming home from work I don't have anyone to walk with well you should always be aware of your surroundings and maybe you should buy some pepper spray just in case Kevin what does the word mugger mean a Mugger is a person who robs you in the street usually with a gun or a knife that's a Mugger what about the verb mug mug is also a verb that's what they do they mug you the mugger mugs you what is the man doing he's mugging the woman the mugger is mugging the woman is he a Mugger that's right he's a Mugger was she mugged that's right she was mugged let's practice is he a Mugger yes he is a Mugger and what is he doing he he's mugging the lady let's practice what is he he's a Mugger that's right what is he that's right he's a Mugger and what is he doing he is mugging the lady is he mugging the lady was she mugged yes she was mugged was she mugged that's right she was mugged now let's talk about could to express a future possibility Kevin what are we going to do this weekend we could do a lot of things we could go out for dinner we could go to the movies or we could go to the park these are all future possibilities we use could plus a simple verb and what about past well if we talk about the past we have to use have could have plus a participle so last weekend we didn't go anywhere that's right we didn't go anywhere but we could have done a lot of things we could have gone out for dinner we could have gone to the movies or we could have gone to the park we could have done many things but we didn't do anything we stayed home that's right that's a possibility in the past something that didn't happen Kevin what happened did he fall off the bike that's right he fell off the bike did he break his arm no he didn't break his arm he got lucky it could have been worse he could have broken his arm that's right it could have been much worse could have contraction could have could have it could have been much worse he could have broken his arm but he didn't that's right he got lucky let's practice did he fall off his bike yes he fell off his bike did he fall off his bike that's right he fell off his bike could it have been worse yes it could have been worse could it have been worse that's right it could have been much worse could he have broken his arm yeah he could have broken his arm could he have broken his arm that's right he could have broken his arm but he didn't that's right he got lucky and one more thing about prononciation sometimes you'll hear CA people will not pronounce the V sound at the end could have they just say could have this happens only before a consonant he could have broken his arm or he could have broken his arm people say both our next vocabulary is to be aware of what does it mean to be aware of means to be conscious of something to know that something exists example I am aware of the laws I know they exist I'm aware of them example the seat Bel law there's a law that says you have to wear your seat Bel and I know this law exists so I can say I'm aware of this law are you aware of the seat belut law yeah I'm aware of this law I know it exists are you aware of this law very good another example you should always be aware of your surroundings what are surroundings surroundings are what is around you everything around you that's your surroundings so you should always be aware of your surroundings you should always know what is around you espe es when you're walking in a big city because it's dangerous let's practice should you always be aware of your surroundings yes you should always be aware of your surroundings should you always be aware of your surroundings that's right you should always be aware of your surroundings it's important now let's practice speaking was she mugged no luckily she wasn't mugged was she mugged that's right luckily she wasn't mugged do you think it could have been worse yes I think it could have been worse what do you think do you think it could have been worse that's right I think it could have been much worse so what do you think could have happened they could have mugged her they could have killed her but they didn't what do you think could have happened that's right they could have mugged her or they could have killed her but they did that's right luckily they didn't she's fine let's practice did she notice the guys following her yes she noticed the guys following her did she notice the guys following her that's right she noticed the GU following her was she aware of her surroundings yes she was aware of her surroundings was she aware of her surroundings that's right she was aware of her surroundings let's listen to the dialogue one more time I think they were muggers but luckily I got away it could have been much worse you were lucky you should probably try to walk with a companion if possible I guess you're right it's just that if I'm coming home from work I don't have anyone to walk with well you should always be aware of your surroundings and maybe you should buy some pepper spray just in case now let's practice American pronunciation first I'll explain the pronunciation then I'll say the line then Leisa will say the line and then you will say the line so let's get started first Sophia says I think they were muggers but luckily I got away the tea in butt is a stop te stop the air but but luckily and Link it to the next word but luckily I got away luckily pronation not luckily but Lu Lua he a close sound luckily luckily I got away the T and got is a fast T because it's between vows I got away I got away again I think they were muggers but luckily I got away I think they were muggers but luckily I got away the next line Sophia says it could have been much worse the te and it is a stop te stop the air it it could link it to the next word it could have been much worse could have been it could have been much worse pronunciation B use the short is sound like this is not being but been it could have been much worse it could have been much worse then Jack says you were lucky you should probably try to walk with a companion if possible you were lucky you should probably the D and should is a stop D don't release the D not you should but you should probably you should probably try to walk with a companion if possible try to walk try to walk the TR makes a sound like chicken plus the r try try to try to try to to is pronounced to a fasty try to try to walk with a companion if possible again you were lucky you should probably try to walk with a companion if possible you are lucky you should probably try to walk with a companion if possible then Sophia says I guess you're right I guess you're right with the S and guess and the Y and your when you link them we have two pronunciations you can say I guess you're right or I guess you're right you can use a sh sound like in shoes I guess you're right or I guess you're right the T and right is a stop T it's at the end of the word right right not right but right I guess you're right I guess you're right and the next line it's just that if I'm coming home from work I don't have anyone to walk with it's just that it's just that the te and just is a stop te but you don't really hear it because it's between consonants it's just that the T and that is a fast D that if that if it's just that if it's just that if I'm coming home from work it's just that if I'm coming home from work link the sounds coming home coming home not coming there's no G sound coming home it's just that if I'm coming home from work I don't have anyone to walk with I don't have anyone to walk with the tea and don't is a stock tea I don't the tongue goes up but you don't release it I don't have anyone I don't have anyone to walk with anyone to walk with two is pronounced T because it's not stressed anyone to walk with I don't have anyone to walk with now complete it's just that if I'm coming home from work I don't have anyone to walk with it's just that if I'm coming home from work I don't have anyone to walk with and then Jack says well you should always be aware of your surroundings you should always the D and should is a fast D it's between vowels you should always you should always well
