for a train to pull up so if you're on a platform and you aren't sure if you're on the right one for the train you need you might ask someone else who's standing there excuse me is this the right platform for the train to greenwich and they will tell you if you're in the right place what time is the last train what time is the last train to san francisco you might ask someone what time is the last train depending on which city you're in the last train of a day might be at maybe 10 p.m for example you're going to want to make sure you get to the station to get that last train where do i change for where do i change for where do i change for the express train when you're taking a train sometimes you might need to do a transfer at a particular station this means if you're on one train you might have to get off at a certain train station and wait for another train that'll take you all the rest of the way to where you need to go asking where do i change for the express train you're asking at what station do i need to get out off the train and wait for the correct train where can i buy a ticket where can i buy a ticket where can i buy a ticket in town you should ask where to buy a ticket so you know whether you need to purchase your ticket on the train itself or if you need to go up to a kiosk and buy your ticket there it's always important to know ahead of time where to buy your ticket because you don't want to get on a train and find out you were supposed to buy your ticket at the station how much is it to how much is it to how much is it to the airport you might ask this question to find out how much it costs to take a train or a bus or a taxi to where you need to go if you get into a taxi for example and you ask how much is it to the airport the taxi driver will tell you thirty dollars he'll tell you the price you need to pay to get to the airport if you're taking a train you might ask the ticket seller how much is it to the airport and the ticket seller will tell you the train to the airport costs ten dollars for example that way you know how much it costs to go to where you need to be does this bus go to does this bus go to does this bus go to the suburbs does this bus go to is a way of asking whether or not the bus that you're looking at has the destination that you need so you might get on the bus and ask the bus driver does this bus go to the suburbs whatever destination and the bus driver will answer and tell you yes get on or no you want a different bus what time is the next bus what time is the next bus what time will the next bus arrive by asking what time is the next bus you're asking when the bus is going to come to the bus stop or whatever station the bus will stop at this way you know what time you need to be at that bus

you marry me the image of someone saying will you marry me is a a man down on one knee giving a ring to the person to usually the woman classically sorry i know times have changed but usually giving a ring to someone as they ask this question so will you marry me is the question the answer should be simple yes or no i suppose oh for you if you say no okay in a sentence yeah will you marry me will you marry me this is the sentence uh here they have the example sentence i never thought i would say this but will you marry me the next proposal line is will you do me the honor of becoming my wife my goodness so fancy will you do me the honor of becoming my wife quite polite it sounds like the woman in the situation is like is somehow going to bring the man asking her to marry him on her therefore like she is very valuable or she is very excellent very excellent that word choice was very excellent okay oh they have a different they have a slight variation here i'm going to read now will you do me the immense honor of becoming my wife and partner wow the next proposal question is will you make me the happiest man alive will you make me the happiest man alive the nuance here is that if she says yes like this is a marriage proposal if she says yes i will make you the happiest man alive by agreeing to marry him he is so happy he is the happiest man in the world so in a sentence here um will you make me the happiest man on earth and say yes um the next expression is you are the one i've been waiting for my whole life you're the one i've been waiting for my whole life it doesn't necessarily have to be for a proposal this one if you maybe you want to tell someone you love them for the first time well actually maybe this is a little too heavy for the first time of that but maybe it's just you've reached a really serious point in your relationship with someone you could use this expression i don't feel like this has to be for a proposal i think you could use it in a couple of other situations situations who are my situations the sentence here is it might sound cheesy but you're the one i've been waiting for my whole life wow quite serious though quite a serious expression careful okay the next expression i think is classic i want to be with you forever i want to be with you forever so be with you means be in a relationship with that person forever until the end you might hear this at a wedding i suppose too like in a wedding vow you could say this before the proposal as well i want to be with you forever will you marry me for example in this sentence i want to be with you forever and grow old with you oh very nice things here today the next expression is let's spend the rest of our lives together let's spend the rest of our lives together so from this day on uh we should just be together always is the nuance here um yeah again you might hear this on a wedding in a wedding ceremony too i suppose the sentence here is let's elope and spend the rest of our lives together elope means like to come together usually kind of quickly and a little bit mysteriously the next expression is having you by my side is what completes me oh so nice so if this person if there's a person next to you a person with you by your side uh this person the person speaking feels complete so it's a nice it's a nice expression like with you everything is okay everything is finished everything is complete here so in a sentence i love you and having you by my side completes me okay the next expression i can't imagine my life without you in it i can't imagine my life without you in it so that person likes you likes the other person so much they can't imagine what would life be like without this person they don't know they can't imagine or don't want to imagine it very positive this sentence says i can't imagine my life without you in it because it is too painful oh goodness okay a little bit heavy a little bit serious a little bit heavy with that one okay i have used a similar phrase like this with my friend like after we talk about how much we love burritos i'm not gonna lie the expression i'm not this is true the expression here is i now know that you and i are truly meant to be together yeah so you can use this i feel like you can use this in a less serious situation like with good friends or another variation you can use with your friends is like i knew we were supposed to be friends or i knew we were going to be friends from the moment we met but here i now know that you and i are truly meant to be together it's like if you share a really good experience together or you can really connect well you can use this expression in this sentence after these years together i now know that you and i are truly meant to be together all right the last expression we are meant to be together we are meant to be together meaning um we are supposed to be together we should be together it's a nice expression you can use this with your friends too i think in less serious situations in this sentence we are meant to be the first phrase is hello hello of course is used as a greeting you can greet your friends you can greet your co-workers your family with this phrase just by saying hello hey hi what's up hello sup yo pretty much any time of day you can use hello hello the next phrase is good morning good morning is used as a greeting in the morning you can kind of feel when morning ends for you good morning is nice and polite or even just morning with your close friends or close co-workers the next phrase is good night good night is fine we don't use this to greet other people we use it when we're saying goodbye to other people at night family members particularly mothers and fathers to say good night to their children before they put them to bed you can say it to your friend in a text message or in an email if you've been talking for a while good night so the next word to talk about is goodbye uh use it when you say goodbye to your friends when you leave your friends goodbye bye of course take care have a nice day peace out that's another way to say goodbye okay the next phrase is i'm plus your name of course this is a way to introduce yourself you can use i'm in my case alicia i'm alicia to introduce yourself in any situation new friend i'm alicia okay the next phrase is what's your name what's your name is used to ask someone else what their name is so what is your name sounds a bit tried to use what's your name if you forget someone's name you can say sorry what's your name or sorry what's your name again next phrase is nice to meet you nice to meet you anytime you meet someone new nice to meet you is fine good to meet you is a little more casual great to meet you sounds very excited pleasure to meet you sounds like maybe a formal situation or a business context okay the next phrase is how are you how are you is it's just a friendly way to check in with the other person you can use it with friends your family your co-workers maybe even your boss to a certain degree uh how are you how you doing the next phrase is i'm fine thanks and you uh if you saw english in three minutes we talked a lot about this phrase uh instead of i'm fine thank you and you say i'm good thanks how are you just shorten it make it a little bit more natural how are you good how are you great how are you not so good how are you okay and so on so when someone says how are you offer i usually say i'm good this week i blah blah blah give some information about what you've been up to maybe a hobby something that you did recently an event something interesting you saw whatever people want to make that connection with you and it's a good chance for you to continue speaking the next word is please please is a polite phrase used when you want something from someone else you can use this as a response when someone offers you something like in a restaurant for example would you like more water would you like something to drink oh please the next phrase is thank you thank you is used to express your appreciation you can use thank you with everybody the next phrase is you're welcome you're welcome when someone says thank you you can say you're welcome ah no biggie i use no biggie as in no biggie is short for no big problem the next word is yes yes of course yes means is any positive expression someone asks you a question and the answer is a positive answer you say yes yep uh-huh yeah no next i'm guessing i know it yep the next word is no no is a negative response to something when you have to give a negative answer so as you can probably guess um the long form of no is negative i like to use nope it's very very casual not gonna happen my parents would use that with me to soften that a little bit if you want to show a negative response to something like let's go for dinner tonight what do you want to do like do you want to go out uh not really no i don't think so to soften it the next word is okay okay this word comes from copy editors okay when they had to check a manuscript um they had to label the manuscript all clear ac but because they were copy editors and they have a very very sick sense of humor they thought they would market okay for all clear to make a joke because o and k do not start all and clear but it caught on among everybody in the world anyway okay uh is used to agree with somebody else well it can be used actually to express a positive or kind of a slight negative i feel transitioning in your conversation you can say okay now we're going to talk about blah blah blah okay the next phrase is excuse me excuse me it's used to get someone's attention in english when you don't know the other person for example in a store a supermarket maybe a stranger on the street you need to ask directions you can use excuse me you can use excuse me in the supermarket excuse me can you tell me where the hot sauce is if you've done something rude in public you can use excuse me i personally do not do rude things in public ever i'm sorry is the next word we're going to talk about i'm sorry is used to apologize when you have made a mistake or someone you know has made a mistake and you're connected to it or you just feel bad you can use i'm sorry you made a mistake at work i'm sorry you forgot to feed your cat i'm sorry sorry about that you bump someone next to you oh sorry what time is it is the next phrase when you need to check what time it is what time is it when you ask someone else what time it is maybe you say this to yourself too check your watch check your phone check a clock pretty straightforward phrase there aren't really any short versions so that's an easy one where is the plus a location so you can use this for a building or a store we don't we're not going to use this where is the for a place a city name or a state name or a country name to do that you would need to remove the but where is the bank where is the post office you can use this to ask directions to ask for help in your house or at work where is the copy machine where is the file i need where is the blah blah blah where is the bathroom is perhaps a very important question to know the next one is may i use the restroom may i use the restroom is a polite and soft expression that you can use if you need to use the toilet you need to use the washroom when you're at someone's house for the very first time when you're in a place that you're that is new to you you can ask may i use the restroom more casually can i go to the bathroom to be very polite you can say may i go to the bathroom the next phrase is i would like to order something you can use this at a restaurant probably or in any situation where you need to place an order i'd like a pizza i'd like a beer can i get the check please this will be used at a restaurant when you've finished your meal and it's time to go can i get the check please in a very very casual situation you can just say check please that's fine the next phrase is see you soon see you soon is used with friends and family members perhaps when you expect to see them again soon after saying goodbye to them this is used at the end of the conversation you're going separate directions see you soon see ya is also good or just see you to make it a little more formal you can say i'll see you again soon make a full sentence out of it that way the next phrases see you later see you later is very similar to see you soon but the point is with cu later is that you're probably going to meet that person again later on in the same day the last phrase is really really is a very useful word because you can use it to show you're interested in a conversation with upward intonation really really tell me more or to show that you're not so interested in the conversation with downward intonation really so there are many other words that you can use similar to really in this way like seriously or oh and so on so it's a really good practice for your intonation b is the first english verb b refers to existence i want to be an astronaut i think you would be a great person for this

your time into it i think drinking a lot of water every day is important putting on your shoes before you leave the house is very important i have to go it's very important that i go next word is interesting interesting anything that you think is cool anything that you find that makes you go ooh is something that's interesting i think that this type of music is the most interesting type of music your mom is interesting the next word is short short shorter shortest i am the shortest person in my class i'm the shortest person in the room short just refers to something that is not long so it can refer to a size or it can also refer to a concept as in a length of time so like i'm going to travel abroad for a short period of time bad you know i'm bad i'm bad you know it bad something that is not good bad food will give you bad feelings in your stomach you're a bad dog who's a bad dog you're a mad dog the next one is boring something that is not interesting something that does not make you go ooh but something that makes you go huh the most boring story i've ever heard was a story about a tomato if i don't do anything this will be really boring far referring to distance something that is not near to you is far how can i go farther far the farthest i've ever run is seven kilometers i'm not a runner happy the first word is happy as you might have guessed happy happy is a happy word when you feel good when you feel positive when you are excited you can say i'm happy i was so happy to see my friend the other day what makes me happy food i'm happy right now energetic energetic when you feel happy perhaps you also feel energetic you have that sort of like uplifting feeling this chair is squeaking every time i move up i don't really describe my friends or people as energetic i might say a dog or a cat is energetic like wow your dog is so energetic what is she doing she's running everywhere is she okay maybe i would say about myself i'm very energetic today if i've had a lot of coffee like now great you can use this to describe people a situation a food anything that you think is good is positive is cool it's groovy it's spectacular it's fantastic i'm sure we're going to talk about some of these other words later so i should stop saying them to like something that you are interested in something that you think is great is good is cool is awesome you can like anything whatever it is just say i like blah blah blah i like followed by a noun phrase it's how you can share your hobbies the things that make you happy in a question form what do you like uh what do you like to do i like eating food i like cooking food recently i like tofu to love we can use it for very close friends maybe in your in your language using the word love has a very very strong meaning but in english we tend to be a little more casual about that if you say to your like your romantic partner i love you that has a very deep meaning you can say it to your friends though like ah so and so i love you that's fine that's fine too we use love and like to talk about how much we enjoy something if you say i love watching movies it sounds like it's maybe one of your favorite activities it's one of your hobbies it's something that you really really enjoy so think about that when you choose like or love i love cooking or i love let's see trying new beer satisfy the next word is satisfied satisfied usually we use the word satisfied after something good has happened to us so for example if you go out to a restaurant and you have a nice meal you really enjoy the food afterwards you can say oh i'm satisfied that was really good if you've provided a service to somebody you can say are you satisfied proud if you feel very good about an accomplishment or someone else has accomplished something and they're happy about it we use the word proud to describe that feeling so maybe i studied for a few months and i passed a test that was really difficult for me i feel so proud or let's see my students have been studying for a few years and their conversation skills have improved so much that we can have fun conversations together i'm really proud of them yeah if you're proud you can say i'm proud though be careful if you say i'm so proud i'm so proud of myself i'm so proud of myself all the time you might sound self-centered excited the next word is excited excited this is usually before you do something that you're very interested in that you're very happy about like i'm going to see a new movie today i'm so excited or i'm going to try a new restaurant i'm so excited it's to describe that maybe that kind of upward yay feeling that you have before you do something you're very interested in i'm excited you can use this in the past tense too like i was so excited to see that movie last week it was great what was the last thing i was excited about coming here i'm so excited to cook food today oh my god funny funny funny something that makes you laugh is funny i laugh a lot i think way too many things are funny this is true my favorite people are funny people my friend told me a really funny joke last week hope i hope i get to see my friends this

printer is out of color ink should we order that we don't really print documents in color so we don't need to worry about that okay looks like these whiteboard markers are running out of ink right those need to be replaced we get a discount if we order them in sets of five so let's do that okay and while we're at it can we order a mouse sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't that's probably because it's running out of batteries let's check the stock of batteries and order more if we don't have many left sure well we have three batteries here you can take two of these for your

is she going to get to the airport [Music] excuse me i need to go to the airport would you tell me how to get there sure there are a few ways if you take bus number one it takes about one and a half hours to the airport it's the least expensive way bus number two is a non-stop bus it's more expensive and leaves once every hour but it only takes 50 minutes i see what about taxis there's a taxi stand in front of the building and they take about an hour but they use the expressway and charge extra for a lot of luggage so it's going to be a lot more expensive than the bus i guess that makes

plan is he going to sign up for [Music] what kind of trip will you be taking i'm going scuba diving since i'll be bringing all my own equipment i'm a bit worried about getting it stolen very smart of you insurance against theft is included in all of our plans since scuba diving equipment is an unusual type of baggage only plan a can cover it though alternatively you can get insurance specifically for scuba diving equipment and add it to other plans plan a is the most expensive one right what's the difference between plan b and plan c okay for example if you happen to stay in a hospital abroad plan b covers flight tickets for your family to visit you but plan c doesn't i see if i get the special contractor scuba diving equipment and add it to plan b or plan c would it be more expensive than plan a with plan b that would make it a little more expensive but with plan c it would be less expensive okay by the way is there any plan that's cheaper than plan c yes we have plan d but it doesn't cover accommodation if your flight gets delayed or cancelled so we don't recommend this plan got it i agree that i need coverage but i don't think i need coverage for family plane tickets so i'll take this plan and combine it with the insurance for scuba diving equipment which plan is he going to sign up for a man is choosing an insurance plan which plan is he going to sign up for what kind of trip

questionnaire about their fitness habits the focus of this questionnaire was on how many hours they exercise each week did you tally up the results for the a and b branches separately yes and employees had four options less than an hour around one to two hours around three to five hours and six hours or more here are the results so employees in both branches answered about one to two hours the most looks like they're exercising about once a week yes and after that employees in the a branch were most likely to answer about three to five hours while in the b branch the next most common answer was less than an hour hmm not even 10 percent of employees at the b branch exercise more than six hours that's right so i was thinking we could organize weekly sports events there that anybody could casually join that's a good idea it'd give employees a good chance to socialize too i'll leave it to you thank you i'll take care of it which graph represents the employees from the b branch a

our new bread all right then we'll have to move the croissants to somewhere else top or bottom why don't we put our regular items on the top shelf they'll sell well even if they're not easy to spot
