Preparation
Transcript
Hello, everyone. Hello! It's nice to see you all here. Welcome to British Life and Language. I am your teacher. My name is Lindsay Black. That's L-I-N-D-S-A-Y Black. Before we begin, some information about the class.
Our class is in room 13, on the first floor. When you go upstairs, turn left to find the room. Again, that's room 13.
We have class twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday. Our class begins at 4.30 p.m. and lasts 90 minutes, so we finish at 6 p.m. That's 4.30 to 6. Please arrive on time, OK?
Also, I have an office hour if you have questions. I'm in office 7B on the second floor. My office hour is Friday at 6 p.m. So, if you have any questions or problems or want to talk to me, it's Friday at 6 p.m. in office 7B.
We begin next week, on March the 13th. That's Monday, March the 13th. The course ends on May the 20th. May the 20th is the last day.
I think that's all ... Oh, one more thing. For this course you need the book. Here it is: British Life and Language Level 1 Student's Book. So, please get a copy of the book. I don't want to see any photocopies of the book, thank you! Remember, it's level 1 student's book. Don't buy the teacher's book.
I think that's all, everyone. I look forward to working with you. See you next Monday!
Hello English department.
I have a question. Why did you write the verb (give) without (s) in the description of the audio above?
Hello Hadi Mashhour,
I assume you're asking about the following sentence.
Verbs of perceptions (such as 'see', 'hear' and 'listen') can be followed by an object ('a teacher') and then a verb in the base form ('give') plus a phrase. The sentence you ask about is an example of this. A few other example sentences are:
We also commonly use a verb in the '-ing' form when we want to emphasise that we saw the action in progress:
In the case of this webpage, though, there is no need for emphasis on the action in progress, so we have used the base form.
Does that make sense?
Best wishes,
Kirk
LearnEnglish team
