Conversation in English audio. Shall we talk? Or dialogues in English on various topics of everyday communication

Welcome everyone to my blog!

Today I would like to discuss such a controversial issue in the study of foreign languages as use of dialogues. Many teachers and students believe thatdialogues in Englishare indispensable for those who want to master this language perfectly, but there are also many opponents of this technique.

Dialogues and naturalness of speech

Learn a language by studying grammar rules and meeting outstanding literary works in a foreign language is a great way to learn a language without being able to use it in practice. Correct speech from a grammatical point of view does not always sound beautiful and adequate from the point of view of a native speaker. But beautiful literary expressions and complex vocabulary will not help in everyday communication between friends.

Many teachers, including university ones, often force their students to memorize large chunks of complex texts and recite them. In this way, they hope to instill in students a sense of language, that same inner voice that, in difficult moments, tells whether a certain phrase sounds good in a foreign language or not. They also hope to expand their vocabulary and improve their intonation.

This approach makes sense. really expands the vocabulary, and recitation improves the pronunciation skills of sounds and intonations that are alien to the Russian ear.

However, it is much more effective, especiallyfor beginners and children, learn simple and short dialogues. Lots of dialogue these days with translation and audio can be found and downloaded in the Internet. In particular, a large number of materials on various topics for download can be found on my blog:

(audio versions of the dialogues will be posted during the fall-winter 2018-19)

Actively listening to audio or watching video dialogues, which are also freely available on Youtube, you can quickly learn to communicate in different situations Everyday life and make your speech natural.

The enormous benefits of dialogue can be illustrated by the following example. In English-speaking culture, the ability to carry on small conversations about nothing, the so-called small talk much appreciated. Any stranger on the street, for example, at a bus stop, he can say hello to you and talk a little about the weather. Or the cashier at the supermarket might ask how long you've been coming to America and wish you a good day.

This is alien to Russian culture, and many people get lost in such situations. For example, we are not used to smiling at strangers on the street and freely talking to them about anything. But a successfully maintained spontaneous conversation can significantly motivate in learning a foreign language and make you believe in your abilities. Colloquial modern phrases for everyday communication can be gleaned from dialogues.

Dialogue 1

- Hi there!

- Hi! What's your name?

- My name is Ann. And yours?

— My name is Kate. Nice to meet you!

- Nice to meet you too.

- Hello!

- Hello! What is your name?

- My name is Anne. And you?

- My name is Kate. Nice to meet you.

- And me.

The first dialogue is devoted to the topic of dating. With its help, you can learn how to greet, introduce yourself and ask your interlocutor aboutwhat is his name, and also say: “Nice to meet you.” These are useful and necessary phrases every day that are rarely found in literature.

Dialogue 2

- Excuse me, Sir! Do you live here?

- Yes.

— Could you tell me, please, where Old Gloucester Street is?

- Sure. It's not far from here. Go straight ahead, then turn to the right and cross the square, and then turn to the right again.

- Thanks a lot!

- You're welcome.

- Sorry, sir! Are you local?

- Yes.

— Can you tell me where Old Gloucester Street is?

- Certainly. She's not far from here. Go straight, then turn right and cross the square, then turn right again.

- Thank you very much!

- Please.

Dialogues about orientation will be very helpful for those who are planning to travel abroad or live in a city where there are many tourists. With its help, you can learn to give instructions on how to find a particular place, as well as how to contact a passerby if necessary.

The ideal way to work with this species educational texts – listen to phrases for dialogue repeatedly. Read its translation to ensure that all words and phrases are understood. Then you can try to repeat each line after the speaker, also several times, trying to imitate his articulation and intonation as much as possible. And finally, speak or read the dialogue out loud yourself. You can learn it by heart, then foreign words will be better remembered. But thisan optional item, since basic words and phrases will remain in memory after repeated repetition in different ways.

With this I say goodbye. I really hope that reading this article brought not only benefit, but also pleasure. See you again on my blog!

The skill of fluent speaking at the beginning of learning any language seems, if not unattainable, then certainly requires a lot of effort, which often scares off beginning polyglots who are not used to hearing their own voice speaking another language. However, you need to speak English from the very beginning of studying, and this section will help you get off to an easy start. Video files with text and audio tracks will help you not only remember how individual phrases are constructed, but also how they are pronounced.

Dialogues in English are presented in different thematic aspects: in this section there are both elementary questions that students answer at the very beginning of learning the language, and individual situations that will be useful in cases where you are learning a language solely for travel. You can play out the situations presented either alone or in pairs.

Simple dialogues for getting to know each other

Anyone who attended English classes at school knows where learning it begins: just with acquaintance. This is done not only because the teacher needs to get to know the students as soon as possible, but also because information about oneself rarely affects lexical blocks unknown to the beginner. Of course, the need for a full introduction in the case of communication with a native speaker may not arise, however, you will already be able to briefly talk about yourself, listing the most important points of your biography.

For those who study English on their own, dialogue, for example, will be very useful. – the interlocutors meet for the first time, ask each other’s names. Of course, the speech is slowed down and made as clear as possible (in spoken English it will probably be more difficult), but a beginner can already listen to how to get acquainted and repeat after the participants in the video.

Another, no less important question is? - an obligatory part of any acquaintance, especially abroad. Of course, while you cannot go into detailed description cultural aspects and traditions of your country, but you can find out how to clarify the nationality of your interlocutor and even the birthplace of his accent!

And, of course, how can one live without observing the rules of politeness in the life of your interlocutor and his close people? Study these dialogues, and you won’t even notice how your confidence in your own knowledge of a foreign language will greatly increase!

Dialogues for specific situations

Stepping outside the classroom (and comfort zone) can introduce yourself to a more challenging environment than meeting just one person to interact with. Even if you are still at the Beginner level, you may find yourself in a situation in which you will need to ask questions, for example: or about the building you need (in place of “Holiday Inn” you can put anything: a train station, shopping mall, hotel). By the way, these dialogues can be modified by adding prepositions of place and direction that you already know: using them regularly will help you remember them faster!

Perhaps the most common question for tourists abroad who are desperately looking for someone to ask for advice is: When this question is asked, communication can be said to have begun because the speakers have established the language of conversation.

Of course, when you find yourself in a situation that requires language proficiency sufficient level to exchange information (as a rule, this applies to those moments when you come to a restaurant or even a simple store abroad), you have to use not only the passive use of language through speech patterns, but also the active one - you have to listen to the interlocutor and understand his answer. However, there are two very important points at work here:

pre-worked dialogues in English allow us to assume, at least in theory, that they can answer you, and you will be less afraid if you have at least a rough idea of how to behave;
It’s much easier to start a conversation if you have a few phrases in stock, albeit memorized, but absolutely correct in both the grammatical and lexical sense.

There are also good news: If your interlocutor sees that you have problems with language, he may begin to monitor himself and use simpler vocabulary, or even sign language. In a word, communication will still take place, even if you fail to understand what exactly was answered.

Of course, to consolidate the material, you need to repeat it not just once, but several times, but you still shouldn’t sit endlessly on one dialogue. Over time, you can even think about composing your own dialogues - let the form remain the same, but the content changes slightly. This will help you consolidate the grammatical structures you have learned and get on the path to independently composing colloquial phrases in a foreign language.

Greetings my dears.

Let's start today with a question for you. Where can you start developing your child’s spoken language?

But it's true! After all, at the beginning of his journey, your baby’s vocabulary for free conversation is at the lowest level - not to say that it does not exist at all. And it’s not always possible to talk “not freely” either. So what's the solution? And the solution is this: dialogues for children in English.

Surprisingly, this technique found a response in the hearts of both children and their parents. The secret here is simple: you can read or listen to simple dialogues - at first I would even recommend mini-dialogues - analyze individual words and phrases in them and tell them. Read them with translation, listen to them in audio and learn.

Today I'll give you a few various options, on various topics and varying complexity.

Speech practice for preschool age distinguished by its simplicity and theme. It is easiest for such young children to remember what surrounds them: colors, animals, family, etc. Let's start, perhaps, with the “Greeting” and “Introduction” dialogues. For example:

-Hi.(Hello/Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening)
-Hi.
-What is your name?
-My name is Maria. And yours?
-My name is Diana.

-Hello . (Hello/Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening)
-Hello.
-What is your name?
-My name is Maria. And you?
-My name is Diana.

This is the easiest option to start with. You can develop the conversation further, for example, like this:

-How old are you?
-I am five years old. And how old are you?
-I am six years old.

-How old are you?
-I am five years old. And how old are you?
-I am six years old.

-Do you speak English?
-Yes, I do. Do you speak English?
- Yes, I do.

-Do you speak English?
-Yes. A do you speak English?
- Yes.

You can also use this addition:

-Where are you from?
-I am from Moscow. And you?
-I am from London.

-Where are you from?
-I am from Moscow. And you?
-I'm from London.

This is the most basic thing you can do with your baby today.

But here are the options, for example, for 2nd grade on the topic of family:

-How many family members do you have?
-I have 4 family members. A mother, a father, me and my older sister. And you?
-I have a father, a mother. I do not have any sisters or brothers.
-This is my mother Tanya and this is my father Vadim. My sister is Olya. She goes to school already.
-My mother’s name is Alina, my father’s name is Nikita.

-How many family members do you have?
-We are a party of four . Mom, dad, me and my older sister. How many of you are there?
-I have a mom and dad. I have neither sisters nor brothers.
-This is my mother Tanya and this is my father Vadim. My sister Olya. She already goes to school.
My mom's name is Alina, my dad's name is Nikita.

For 3rd grade students, you can combine dialogue and play " I can see something blue..." For example:

-I can see something red…
-It’s an apple. It's a towel. It's a shoe.
-I can see something green...
-It's a flower. It's a coat.
-I can see something yellow…
-It's a ball.

-I can see something red...
-This Apple. This is a towel. This is a shoe.
-I can see something green...
-This is a flower . This is a coat.
-I can see something yellow...
-This is a ball.

Talking about animals will help you quickly learn the necessary vocabulary.

-Do you have a pet?
-Yes, I have a rat. His name is Bonny. Do you have a pet?
-I already have two dogs and a fish.
-What are their names?
-My dogs" names are Dilly and Tisha, and my fish is called Loopy.

-Do you have a pet?
-I have a rat. His name is Bonnie. Do you have a pet?
-I already have two dogs and a fish.
-What are their names?
My dogs' names are Dilly and Tisha, and my fish's name is Loopy.

A good subject option is a hobby. For example:

-Do you like football?
-Yes, I do. My favorite football team is Barcelona. And you?
-I don't. I like basketball and tennis. What about reading?
-I like reading. I read several books per week. And do you like reading?
-I don't. I like watching films. My favorite films are “Harry Potter” and “Star Wars”.

-Do you like football?
-Yes. My favorite football team Barcelona. And you?
-I don't.
I love basketball and tennis. How about reading?
-I like to read.

I read several books a week. Do you like to read?

-Me not. I like watching films . My favorite films are Harry Potter and Star Wars.
In addition to the previous one, you can add the following:
-How did you spend your summer?

-We went to the sea. The town was beautiful and the sea was very warm. And you?
-I was in the village with my grandparents. We played football with my brother and swam in the lake.
-How did you spend your summer? -We went to the sea. The city is beautiful and the sea is very warm. And you?-I was in the village with

grandparents . We played football with my brother and swam in the lake.

What I want to say finally, my dears, is that with the help of such mini-conversations, your kids can quickly learn new words and also get rid of the fear of talking. I can give you some advice:

don't try right away cover something large and complex- take small steps towards your big goal.
make sure your child is familiar with all the words when you say something. Words learned by heart, the meaning of which remains unknown, will bring absolutely no benefit.
combine the use of this method with some kind of game so that the baby naturally memorized vocabulary.

I recommend that all children and their parents take this course from Lingualeo « For the little ones» . This online course - in a playful and very enjoyable form - will captivate your child and make him ask you “And I also want to play English”. My daughter still likes it)), although we purchased it quite a while ago.

That's all, my dears. I hope that these materials will help you in learning the language. Moreover, you can get even more materials by subscribing to my blog newsletter. Improve your English with my help every day.

Knowing English is very good. But it’s not enough to know individual words in order to compose phrases with them; you need to connect your speech in such a way that it can turn into a high-quality dialogue. Agree, every day we compose dialogues, whether we want it or not. In the store, at work, in transport, on the street... Communication is needed everywhere. And it will be strange if people communicate chaotically, that is, answer questions with words that they know, and not those that are appropriate in a given situation. If you are a beginner and just starting to learn the English language, then we bring to your attention dialogues in English for beginners that will help you easily communicate with people even if you have a minimum vocabulary.

On a note! We don't want you to learn dialogue automatically. A student studying the material must understand what he is learning. That's why we've provided a translation for every dialogue to make your learning process easy.

Popular dialogues in English for beginners

Dialogues in English can be different. The higher your level of English, the more colorful and meaningful the dialogue. But, if you are just starting out, we recommend learning the basic basics of communication, which will later serve as the foundation for building a more extensive conversation. So, let's start with those that you can easily learn with a small vocabulary. But how can you learn dialogue in English without it slipping out of your head the next day? First you need to pay attention to the most common topics. The most popular: about the weather, in a store (grocery, with clothes), in a cafe/restaurant, about plans for a vacation or weekend, etc. Let's start with these. When you can speak fluently on the above topics, you can begin to conquer new heights.

Where do we start? From dating! It would be ridiculous if you see a person for the first time and don’t know where to start a conversation with him. Therefore, we offer a simple dialogue so that a person’s first impression of you is positive =>

Hello! How are you?
Hi! I am fine, thanks! And how are you?
Fine! I am Yulia. What is your name?
I am Lily, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
Are you from Barcelona?
No, I am from London. And you?
I am from Russia. Nice to meet you in Spain!

Hello! How are you?
Hello! OK, thank you! And how are you?
Great! I am Yulia. And what is your name?
My name is Lily, nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you too.
Are you from Barcelona?
No, I'm from London. And you?
I'm from Russia. Nice to meet you in Spain!

The first step has been taken - you have met the person. What's next? If you don’t know your interlocutor at all, how to continue the conversation? The ideal way out of the situation is talk about the weather. This topic is always relevant and has never let anyone down. Let's consider a dialogue that will help you in further communication =>

Hello Maria! You look great today!
Hi Jane! Thank you! It’s very warm today, isn’t it? So I have decided to put on my new dress.
Yes, the weather is lovely, as well as your new dress. But have you heard about the rain this afternoon?
Yes, I've heard about that. But that's okay. I have an umbrella.
Oh, you are lucky, but I have no umbrella. I need to go back home to take it.
Yes, be quick. Look, the sky is already full of clouds.
I run. Bye, see you later.

Hello, Maria! You look very good today!
Hello Jane! Thank you! It's warm today, isn't it? So I decided to wear my new dress.
Yes, the weather is great, and so is your new dress. But did you hear about the rain this afternoon?
Yes, I've heard about it. But everything is fine. I have an umbrella.
Oh, you're lucky, and I don't have an umbrella. I need to go home and get it.
Yes, come on faster. Look, the sky is already overcast.
I am running. Bye, see you later.
Bye!

Next, we suggest learning English dialogue, dedicated to cafes and restaurants. At lunch we hold business meetings (and English ones too), communicate with friends and colleagues, many drink morning coffee in public places, and in general, we spend a lot of time in cafes and restaurants. On weekends, on vacation, after work, before an important meeting... We go for lunch with friends and colleagues, for dinner with family and business partners. Knowing what to say is extremely important in order to create the impression of an educated, cultured and literate person.

Consider a dialogue in a restaurant:

A: Are you ready to order?
Q: Yes, I’ll have the fillet steak.
A: How would you like your steak?
Q: Rare, please. And I’d like a glass of red wine, and some mineral water.
A: Still or sparkling?
In: Sparkling.
A: Fine.

Note! In everyday conversations there may be aphorisms, for example, I am hungry as a hunter, which means I'm hungry as a wolf. Color your dialogue with colorful phrases using these expressions!

And one more thing: you can use quotes in conversation famous people or with a bit of irony. But... if you are not sure, we recommend abandoning this idea. When you say an aphorism or quote, you must be 100% sure of the accuracy of the meaning.

Are you ready to order?
Yes, I'd like a steak.
What kind of roast?
With blood, please. As well as a glass of red wine and mineral water.
With or without gas?
With gas.
Fine.

To remember simple dialogues, we recommend saying them mentally every time, for example, when you go to a cafe or restaurant. When you order something, say it in English. This will be great practice. If you don’t know a word, write it down in a notebook and be sure to look at the translation at home. Order different dishes each time to learn more! And expand your vocabulary every time.

Here are a couple more dialogues related to everyday life:

We're going to the cinema.

A: So... what’s on at the cinema?
B: There’s a film on called “Mission Impossible”.
A: What kind of movie is it?
B: It’s an action film. It’s about an agent of the IMf and his mission to uncover a plot. It has good reviews.
A: OK. Who's in it?
B: It stars Tom Cruise.
A: I like Tom Cruise – he’s a good actor. And where's it on?
B: The Karo cinema.
A: OK. Let's go and see it.
B: Great!

What are they showing in the cinema now?
The movie Mission: Impossible is showing now.
What genre is this?
This is an action movie. The film is about an agent of a secret organization and his mission to uncover a conspiracy. It has good reviews.
Okay, who's playing?
Starring Tom Cruise.
I love Tom Cruise, he good actor. Where is the film shown?
At the Karo cinema.
Fine. Let's watch it.
Great!

Now let's talk about shops. Everyone needs clothes. And you will communicate not only with the seller, but also with your friends, whom you will take as faithful advisers. But! It is extremely important to know the basic phrases that will help you clearly explain to the seller what exactly you need and what color. If you have not yet studied the color scheme, we recommend studying several basic colors. We’ll leave the subtleties of studying the numerous shades for later.

Consider a dialogue where a buyer communicates with a seller =>

Good afternoon! Can I help you?
Yes, I need your help. I need short dress, jeans and several blouses. Will you please be so kind to help me to match the colors. I want create several images from things I will buy.
I will be glad to help you. My first advice is to choose little black, red or white dress.
The reason is – I don’t like dark and too bright colors.
Then your choice – the dress of beige color.
Perfect! And what about jeans?
I will strongly recommend you to choose the light blue one. They are very popular now.
Okay, show me some examples.
And please be so kind to look at these blouses of pastel colors. They are very tender, feminine and stylish.
Great! I need three blouses.
I will make you a discount for you to buy more.
Thank you! You helped me very much!

Good afternoon Can i help you?
Yes, I need your help. I need a short dress, jeans and several blouses. Could you be so kind as to help me choose the colors. I want to create several looks from the items I buy.
I'll be happy to help you. My first tip is to choose a little black, red or white dress.
The reason is that I don't like dark or too bright colors.
In this case, your choice is a beige dress.
Great! What about jeans?
I highly recommend that you choose light blue jeans. They are very popular now.
Okay, show me a few copies.
And please pay attention to these pastel colored blouses. They are very gentle, feminine and stylish.
Great! I need three blouses.
I will give you a discount so you can buy more.
Thank you! You helped me a lot!

We buy drinks:

B: Can I help you?
A: Can I have tea and two colas, please?
B: Anything else?
A: No, thanks. How much is that?
B: That’s 3$. A: Here you are.

Can I help?
Can I have some tea and two cokes, please?
Anything else?
No thanks. How much does it cost?
Only $3.
Please / Hold.

Dialogue in the cafe:

A: Yes, please? or What would you like?
B: I’d like a ham sandwich on brown bread, please, and two chicken sandwiches on white bread.
A: Eat here or take away?
B: Take away, please.
A: OK. Anything else?
B: No, thanks.
A: OK. The food will be in a couple of minutes. Have a seat.

Order/What's for you?
I'd like a ham sandwich on black bread and two chicken sandwiches on white bread, please.
Here or with you.
Take it with you, please.
Fine. Anything else?
No thanks.
The food will be ready in a few minutes. Have a seat.

Repeat dialogues as often as possible. At the same time, change the words in phrases to increase the number of words learned. For example, instead of dress, put skirt, etc. Change colors, styles, images... You can make several from one dialogue! Turn on your imagination and go ahead!

Imagine real situations

You can think of anything and wait for it to come true. You need to practice every day! Imagine that you went into a clothing store. What do you tell the seller? What color skirt do you need? What kind of jeans do you want? Come up with real image, the kind of thing you wear every day. If nothing works, start small. First, learn individual words (wardrobe items), then compose phrases with them, then sentences. Remember that dialogue is two-way communication. You need to be prepared to be asked questions, and you need to know the answers to them. By imagining a real-life situation, you can easily learn the vocabulary you need.

Start by writing short dialogues

There is no need to think that little means ineffective. For beginners, it’s just the opposite. Once you learn small questions and answers, you can expand them over time by adding adjectives, nouns, and verbs. The main thing is to learn, figuratively speaking, the skeleton of the structure. It is worth remembering that in short sentences it is easier to combine tenses. If the sentences are long, then you may form the thought incorrectly grammatically. Start small! Once you achieve your first successes, your knowledge base will develop very quickly.

Practice every day!

The last, but not the least -> The last, but not the least, as the British say. This is very wise advice. It will tell you how to quickly learn English dialogue so that you get results. The fact is that by studying every day, we develop a routine within ourselves, our will grows, we become more organized. One or two days of rest - and you have to start over. Work on your English every day! It doesn’t cost you anything to repeat a couple of phrases to yourself as you pass by the store. Or imagine yourself in an English restaurant, sitting at the table at home. It's simple. The main thing is to overcome laziness. It is she who is responsible for our failures. Pull yourself together and English will conquer you!

Let's sum it up

How to learn dialogue in English? Simply and easily! Practice daily, create real situations, select synonyms for words, and try to enlist the support of your loved ones. Let them speak English with you at home (if they know it, of course). And listen to audio and video recordings! This is necessary for correct pronunciation. And if it doesn’t work for you, then transcription will come to the rescue. Learning English is easier than you think!

Everyone knows that you can learn English for different purposes. Someone needs to master business correspondence, someone wants to read books written in English in the original, someone wants to understand by ear the famous songs of their favorite groups, sometimes translation skills are required specialized literature. In all these cases, direct communication skills may not be needed. But a huge number of people learn English precisely in order to communicate in it with friends, partners or with people on tourist trips abroad. In this case, the most important means for developing communication skills is a variety of dialogues in English.

As one respected university English teacher used to say when he had his students repeat the same phrases over and over again, “Unprepared speech is well-prepared speech.” This phrase, paradoxical at first glance, actually has a certain practical meaning. If you are not a native speaker, in any situation of spontaneous communication it is important for you to have in your memory a set of well-learned clichés on various topics. In this case, you will not think about composing each sentence, but all your attention will focus on the meaning of what you are talking about. That is why, when practicing communication skills, the teacher gives the task not only to read and translate dialogues on various topics, but also to memorize them.

Examples of dialogues on various topics

As a rule, dialogues are composed on certain topics. Typically, dialogues in English for beginners are an introduction dialogue, a conversation about the weather (a universal means of maintaining a conversation), a conversation in a cafe, a dialogue in a store, a conversation about plans for the weekend, etc.

In any case, it is important to remember that dialogue is not just a set of phrases like “question and answer”, but also a reaction to the information of the interlocutor, and an emotional component of one degree or another. Therefore, when learning dialogues in English, audio accompaniment plays a very important role. Listening to dialogues, you not only remember phrases, but also copy the intonation pattern, which is especially important in dialogical speech.

Today we will present to your attention dialogues in English with translation, full versions which you can see. In this case, the dialogues will be accompanied by exercises, a detailed dictionary and grammatical explanations.

Dialogue on the topic "acquaintance"

So, any communication begins with a relationship.

Hello, how are you?

Fine, thanks. And you?

Great! My name is Lima.

I am Emily. It's nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you, too.

Are you from New York?

Yes, I am. Where are you from?

I am from here, from Bedford.

Oh, great. Can we be friends?

Hi, how are you?

OK, thank you! And you?

Amazing! My name is Lima.

I'm Emily. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Are you from New York?

Yes. Where are you from?

I'm from here, from Bedford.

ABOUT! Wonderful. Can we be friends?

Certainly.

Dialogue about the weather

As you know, if you need to start a conversation with a stranger, the topic of weather will be a win-win option. This topic is international, politically correct and universal for any circle. This topic is especially popular among residents of the UK. And this is not surprising, because this country is known for its changeable weather. Therefore, a few phrases about the weather that acquaintances exchange when meeting are often just a form of greeting, and not at all a way to get some information.

Hello, Martin, lovely day, isn't it?

Absolutely wonderful - warm and clear. What's the weather forecast for tomorrow? Do you know?

Yes, it says it will be a bit cloudy in the morning. But the day will be bright and sunny.

How nice. A perfect day for an outing. I promised my family a barbecue, you know.

Great! I hope you'll enjoy it.

Hi Tom

Hello Martin, beautiful day, isn't it?

Absolutely wonderful - warm and clear. What's the forecast for tomorrow? Do not you know?

Yes, I know, they say it will be a little cloudy in the morning. But the day will be clear and sunny.

How good. A great day for a country walk. I promised my family a barbecue, you know.

Great! I hope you will enjoy.

Dialogue in a restaurant

Dialogues in a cafe or restaurant are often used in educational materials and phrase books. Having learned the basic phrases from such a dialogue, you will be able to apply this knowledge on a trip abroad. In addition, some structures and so-called politeness phrases will be useful to you in other speech situations.

Jerry: Let's go for a walk.

Lima: Have you got any ideas where we can go?

Jerry: Yes, I have. Let's go to the restaurant.

Lima: Ok. Let's go.

Waiter: Good evening. What can I do for you? What would you like to order?

Jerry: Have you got mashed potatoes?

Waiter: Yes, we have.

Jerry: Have you got any juice?

Waiter: Apple juice, tomato juice and orange juice.

Jerry: Give us orange juice, please. Have you got any ice-cream?

Waiter: Yes, we have vanilla ice-cream, chocolate ice-cream and ice-cream with topping.

If you have an interlocutor or you are learning English in a group, learning and speaking the dialogue is not a problem. Moreover, teachers usually add a creative component to the task - based on the dialogue in the textbook, compose, learn and tell your own version. However, if you are learning English on your own, not having a conversation partner makes the task somewhat more difficult. But, as you know, there are no hopeless situations. Listening to English dialogues online is the most effective method of learning. Typically, listening multiple times helps you learn everything. necessary phrases, and at the same time reproduce them with the correct intonation.
