M: Hello English learners! Welcome back to EnglishPod! My name is Marco. 
E: And I’m Erica.
M: Today we’re bringing you Part II of another great lesson that we had.
E: Yes! New Guy In Town.
M: The Ney Guy In Town.
E: Part Two.
M: Part Two.
E: Aha.
M: Kind of a creepy story.
E: Yes.
M: Yeah, and this one is also a little bit strange, a little bit weird.
E: Yeah, unusual outcome, unusual ending.
M: But it has to do a lot with invitations.
E: That’s right, so, an invitation is when you ask somebody to do something with you.
M: Right.
E: Uhu.
M: A dinner invitation.
E: So, we’re gonna be talking about invitations and inviting people to do things.
M: Okay.
E: Well, with that, let’s listen to the dialogue for the first time.
DIALOGUE, FIRST TIME
M: Wow! I’m really anxious to see what happens in… in this dinner party.
E: Yeah, I guess we’ll have to stay tuned and find out…
M: For Part Three.
E: Yeah.
M: Alright, well, we have some really great vocabulary, so, I guess we can start with
“language takeaway”.
Voice: Language takeaway.
M: Alright, on language takeaway today we have three great words, uh, Erica, why don’t
you start it soft with the first one?
E: The first word is thoughtful.
M: Thoughtful.
E: Thoughtful.
M: Thoughtful.
E: So, when you’re thoughtful, you’re… kind, right?
M: You’re kind, you’re considerate…
E: Yes, you…
M: To other people.
E: You think about what the other person would like.
M: Right.
E: And you do that thing.
M: It’s so thoughtful of you.
E: Yeah.
M: Our second phrase – give me the creeps.
E: Give me the creeps.
M: Give me the creeps.
E: This is kind of a funny phrase, but I think if we listen to some examples, we’ll understand
the meaning.
Voice: Example one.
A: Horror movies give me the creeps.
Voice: Example two.
B: Stop it! You’re giving me the creeps.
Voice: Example three.
C: I saw this really scary clown; he gave me the creeps.
E: So, I can see this one means to make me feel uncomfortable.
M: Right, it makes me feel…
E: Like strange…
M: Scared…
E: Yeah, scared.
M: Also.
E: Yeah.
M: Gives me the creeps.
E: Uhu.
M: And our last phrase for language takeaway – rope me into.
E: Rope me into something.
M: Rope me into something.
E: Uhu.
M: So, if you rope me into something, it’s…
E: It’s like you convince me to do something that I don’t really wanna do.
M: Right, so, I roped you into landing me your car.
E: Yes, it was a bad idea.
M: That was a bad idea.
E: And you roped me into going out for beers after work.
M: Yeah, that was a great idea.
E: Mmm.
M: Hehe. Alright, so, rope me into.
E: Yeah.
M: Convince.
E: Yeah.
M: Alright, so, I guess we could listen to our dialogue again.
E: This time a little bit slower and you’ll be able to understand the language a little bit more
clearly.
DIALOGUE, SECOND TIME (slow)
M: Well, I guess that’s a lot more clearer and with that we can start “putting it together”
today.
Voice: Putting it together.
E: Today we’ve got three words and phrases that we wanna show you how you can put
together and use differently.
M: Uhu.
E: The first one is appetite.
M: Appetite.
E: Appetite.
M: Appetite.
E: So, appetite is like, ah, a strong desire for food, right?
M: Right, an appetite.
E: We’ve got some examples that show you how to use this phrase; let’s listen.
Voice: Example one.
A: Mmm, dinner smells so good; it’s giving me an appetite.
Voice: Example two.
B: You’re sure eating a lot; you must have a big appetite.
Voice: Example three.
C: I’m getting sick; I have a fever and I’ve lost my appetite.
M: Okay, so, we saw some great examples of appetite.
E: Uhu.
M: You can lose your appetite.
E: That’s right.
M: You have a big appetite.
E: Uhu.
M: Small appetite.
E: A healthy appetite.
M: Right, so, it just means…
E: A desire for food.
M: Desire for foods.
E: A hunger for food. Yeah.
M: Okay. Great, what’s our second phrase for today?
E: Get to know someone.
M: Get to know.
E: Get to know.
M: So, when you get to know someone is you talk to them and you find out what they do.
E: Yeah, you get more familiar with them.
M: More familiar, right.
E: Uhu.
M: For example, we can say “I got to know her in Spanish class and she’s a really nice
person”.
E: Yeah, or you can say “Armand, Ellen and Doris got to know each other at a dinner party”.
M: Right, or you can say “if you get to know me, you’ll see that I’m not a bad guy”.
E: Yeah.
M: Hehe.
E: That’s true.
M: Okay, get to know.
E: And our third phrase is why on earth.
M: Why on earth.
E: Why on earth.
M: Why on earth. This is the… uh, this is like a saying…
E: Yeah.
M: ??? expression.
E: And you can use it in a lot of different ways, so, we’ve got some examples for you; let’s
listen.
Voice: Example one.
A: Where on earth is my phone?
Voice: Example two.
B: How on earth did you learn English in one month?
Voice: Example three.
C: What on earth is it?
E: So, when you ask a question with on earth - so, why on earth, how on earth, what
on earth – it’s like you’re showing a lot of surprise.
M: Okay, great stuff! So, let’s just listen to our dialogue a third time.
DIALOGUE, THIRD TIME
M: We want to know what you think happens next.
E: Yes, what happens in this dialogue next?
M: So, we want you to send us your idea of what happens next and we’re going to choose
the best one.
E: That’s right, Marco and I will choose the best continuation of this story and we’ll use that
in Part Three of the New Guy In Town.
M: That’s right.
E: Aha.
M: So, you can give it any direction you want.
E: That’s right.
M: And, of course, we’ll publish the name of the author.
E: Uhu.
M: With the lesson.
E: Yes.
M: I’m really anxious to see what ideas come up and how we can end this dialogue.
E: I know we’ve got a lot of really creative users out there, so, I’m really looking forward
to this.
M: That’s right, that’s right, so, be sure to send us your ideas either a private message or
you can post it on the comment section of…
E: That’s right.
