Additional Lesson
AD stands for Anno Domini (Latin for "In the year of (Our) Lord"), abbreviated
as AD. It defines an epoch based on the traditionally-reckoned year of the
conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth. it is used in the English language to
denote years after the start of this time.
BC stands for Before Christ (from the Ancient Greek "Christos" or "Anointed
One", referring to Jesus), abbreviated as BC, it is used in the English
language to denote years before the start of this time.
Some non-Christians also use the abbreviations AD and BC without

intending to acknowledge the Christian connotation, but some people prefer
the alternatives 'CE' (Common Era) and 'BCE' (Before Common Era),
arguing that they are more neutral terms. .
A millennium (pl. millennia) is a period of one thousand years.
A century is a period of one hundred consecutive years. Centuries

are numbered ordinally (e.g. "the nineteenth century").
A decade is a period of 10 years.
The decades from 1920 to 1999, are called "the Twenties", "the Sixties", etc.
But the current decade has no universally accepted name. Some refer to the
decade as the "twenty hundreds" while others may refer to it as the "two
thousands". In written form, this could appear as "the '00s" or "the 2000s". But
writing "the 2000s" or simply saying "the two-thousands" can cause confusion,
since this could refer to the entire 21st century or even the entire millennium.
Some people tried to popularize "the Noughties" as the decade's name. This is
a play on words, nought means "zero" and noughties sounds both like nineties
and naughty.

Shaking Hands
When meeting someone formally for the first time, we shake their hand and say
"How do you do?" or "Pleased to meet you."
"How do you do?" isn't really a question, it just means "Hello".
Generally we do not shake hands with people we know well.

BASIC
ENGLISH

LEVEL 1
A Drunk Pilot
There were 102 passengers on the plane. They were waiting for the plane
to take off. But the plane was just sitting there. The plane could not take
off without a pilot. The co-pilot was already on board. But the pilot was
not. Where was the pilot? The flight attendants didn't know. The co-pilot
didn't know. The passengers didn't know. Finally, the pilot got on the
plane. He was singing and laughing. He waved to all the passengers. He
said hello. He told them his name--three times. His eyes were bloodshot.
His breath smelled of alcohol. He said, "Are you all ready to fly? We're
going to fly. We're going to fly high into the sky." A passenger close to
him was angry. "Why are you so late?" The pilot said, "I'm not late—you're
early!" He laughed at his own joke. "You're drunk," the passenger said. He
dialed 911. The police came. They talked to the pilot. They took him off
the plane. He was still laughing and singing. "Mom, if the police take the
pilot to jail, who will fly our plane?" a little boy asked his mother. The flight
attendant announced that a new pilot would arrive shortly. Many
passengers looked at their watches.
A Wedding
"Tomorrow will be the best day of my life," Betty said. "Yes, it will be,"
said her mom. "I'm so happy for you. Paul is such a good man. He will
make a great husband and father. And he's so nice. Your dad and I both

love him." Betty met Paul after she broke her leg. She broke her leg
skiing. Paul was the doctor who fixed her leg. He visited her every day in
the hospital. Then he visited her at home. He brought her Get Well
cards and gifts. They fell in love with each other. "I never thought a
broken leg would be a good thing," Betty told her mom. "But it was the
best thing that ever happened to you. Life is strange sometimes," her
mom said. After Betty's leg healed, she and Paul started dating. They
went to movies and restaurants. They went to the beach. They even went
skiing. They were so happy together. One day Paul asked Betty to marry
him. "Can we have lots of kids?" she asked. "Of course," he said. "But let
me teach them how to ski." They both laughed.
A Windy Day
It's a windy day. The wind is blowing hard. Paper is blowing

everywhere. The wind blew the man's hat off. It blew the woman's hat off.
It blew a bird off the telephone wire. The other birds laughed. The wind
keeps blowing. The trees are bending over. The people outside are
bending over. The wind makes it hard to walk. The wind makes it hard to
drive. The big trucks have to pull over. They have to stop on the side of
the freeway. One driver did not stop. He was in a hurry. The wind blew
his truck over. The big truck is on its side. The wheels are spinning in the
wind. The driver was not hurt. He is waiting for a crane. The crane will
pick up the truck. The crane will put the truck on its wheels again. The
driver learned his lesson. He will never drive in the wind again. The wind

makes it hard to fly, too. Pilots know the wind is dangerous. They do not
fly their small planes in windy weather. They do not want to crash into the
ground. A crash will kill them. They sit at the airport. They drink coffee.
They wait for the wind to die down.
Brush Your Teeth

She walked into the bathroom. She took the cap off the tube of
toothpaste. She squeezed some toothpaste onto her toothbrush. She
turned on the cold water. She brushed her upper teeth and spit out some
toothpaste. She brushed her lower teeth and spit out some more
toothpaste. She rinsed out her toothbrush. She put the toothbrush back
into the toothbrush holder. She put some water into a cup and rinsed out
her mouth. She spit out the water and walked out of the bathroom.
Bus Accident
There was a bus accident. The bus accident was near a dam. The
bus ran off the road. The bus tipped over. Two people died. Eight people
were hurt. The bus driver was going too fast. The road is a two-lane road.
It is a narrow road. It isn't a wide road. The road is not straight. It bends
a lot. It curves a lot. The road looks like a snake. The speed limit is 25
mph. The bus was going 50 mph. The passengers were afraid. The bus
ran into a guard rail. Then the bus tipped over. Passengers yelled.

Passengers screamed. Passengers fell down. Passengers fell on other
passengers. Luggage flew through the air. Luggage hit people. Luggage
hit people in the face. Luggage hit people in the head. The windows broke.
The windshield broke. Glass was everywhere. Bodies were everywhere.
Luggage was everywhere. The ambulances came. They took people to
the hospital. The police came. They took the driver to jail.

LEVEL 2
$100 Deposit
The well-dressed, gray-haired woman was crying her eyes out. She
had just been fined $100 by the judge because a month ago her dog
made a mess on the front lawn of the courthouse.
"I just got out of the cab and I leashed Poopsie to the light pole. After
I paid the fare and gave the driver a dollar tip, I turned around and saw
that Poopsie had made a mess. I didn't have any plastic bags, so I said,
'Well, Poopsie, let's go home. There's nothing I can do about this now.'
"We were just starting home when I heard this voice out of nowhere:
'Excuse me, ma'am. Is that your dog?' I turned around. It was an officer of
the law. Well, of course, it was my dog. 'That dog just made an illegal
deposit on the courthouse lawn. As its owner, it's your responsibility to
dispose of that deposit. See the sign over there? I'm going to have to
write you a citation.'
"I asked him what sign he was talking about. He pointed all the way
down to the end of the block. One little sign, a block away! How could
anyone see that? I couldn't see that sign with my best opera glasses. The
officer said that I could fight the ticket. He said the judge was a nice old
man who owned four dogs. So I said, 'OK, thank you, I'll fight the ticket.'

"So when I went to court, I dressed Poopsie up in his prettiest
ribbons and made extra sure he did his business first. We were both so
excited. I just knew the judge and Poopsie would hit it off.
"But do you know what happened when we got inside? They had a
different judge, a judge who is allergic to dogs, and he immediately
started sniffling, coughing, sneezing, and looking around. And then he
yelled at me to get the dog out of the courtroom. He fined me $100 on the
way out without even giving me a chance to talk about Poopsie's chronic
dyspepsia. It was terrible! I'm still upset."
A Missing Cat
The owner of a missing cat is asking for help. "My baby has been
missing for over a month now, and I want him back so badly," said Mrs.
Brown, a 56-year-old woman. Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a trailer park
near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7-year-old cat, didn't come home for
dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didn't appear for
breakfast either. After Clyde missed an extra-special lunch, she called the
police.
When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that
Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of
his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white. She then told
the officer that Clyde was about a foot high.

A bell went off. "Is Clyde your child or your pet?" the officer
suspiciously asked. "Well, he's my cat, of course," Mrs. Brown replied.
"Lady, you're supposed to report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS,"
said the irritated policeman. "Well, who can I report this to?" she asked.
"You can't. You have to ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers,"
replied the officer.
Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an
8"x11" piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard
at the end of her street just off the interstate highway. The billboard had a
phone number on it. She called that number, and they told her they could
blow up a picture of Clyde (from Mrs. Brown's family album) and put it on
the billboard for all to see.
"But how can people see it when they whiz by on the interstate?"
she asked. "Oh, don't worry, ma'am, they only whiz by between 2 a.m.
and 5:30 a.m. The rest of the day, the interstate is so full of commuters
that no one moves." They told her it would cost only $3,000 a month. So
she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the
billboard for a month.
The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared. Because she
has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to
see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month.
She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.

Better To Be Unlucky
Sam, an unemployed piano tuner, said it was only the second thing
he had ever won in his life. The first thing was an Afghan blanket at a
church raffle when he was 25 years old. But this was much bigger: it was
$120,000! He had won the Big Cube, a state lottery game. To win, a
contestant must first guess which number a spinning cube will stop on.
The cube has six numbers on it: 1X, 10X, 50X, 100X, 500X, and 1000X. If
he is correct, the contestant must then guess which of two selected
variables is going to be greater. So, just guessing which number appears
on the cube does not guarantee that you will win any money.
Sam correctly guessed 1000X, but he still had to choose between two
variables. One variable was the number of cars that would run the stop
sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours. The other variable was
the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a
three-hour period. This was a tough decision.
Finally, Sam flipped a coin. It came up heads, so Sam picked the

teenager. He picked right. The stop sign was run only 76 times, but the
teen clicked 120 times. Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy, for he had just
won 1000 times 120, or $120,000. Sam dreamily left the lottery studio.
Talking excitedly on his cell phone while crossing the street, he got hit by a
little sports car.
Sam is slowly getting better. He was in the hospital for a month. His
hospital bill was $110,000. And the insurance company for the little sports

car's owner sued Sam for $9,000 worth of repairs. Also, Sam still has to
pay federal taxes on his winnings. Sam doesn't play the state lottery any
more. He says it's better to be unlucky.
Book Him
A man accused of failing to return more than 700 children's books to

five different libraries in the county was released from jail yesterday after
a book publisher agreed to post his bond of $1,000. The publisher said,
"There's a story here. This is a man who loves books. He just can't let go
of them. He hasn't stolen a single book. So what's the crime? We think
that Mr. Barush has a story to tell. We plan to publish his story."
When asked why he didn't return the books, Mr. Barush said, "Well,
how could I? They became family to me. I was afraid to return them,
because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew
them up, throw them around, rip the pages, spill soda on them, get jam
and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet."
He continued, "Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care
of you, and they enrich you with wisdom and humor and love. A book is
my guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I
dusted them with a soft clean cloth. I turned their pages so they could
breathe and get some fresh air.
"Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new
friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at
them. Now they're all back in the library, on the lower shelves, on the

floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them calling
me! I need to rescue them. Excuse me. I have to go now."
Fishing for girls
Wednesday night, Howard asked Glenn if he wanted to go fishing and

girl-watching that weekend at Santa Fe Lake. "We'll leave Friday morning
and return late Sunday night," he said. Glenn said he had to clean out his
garage, so Howard went by himself.
Howard had also planned to lie around the hotel pool, soak up the
sun, read a good book, and look at pretty women in their bathing suits.
His own apartment didn't have a pool, so whenever he traveled, he always
liked to stay at a place with a pool. But when he arrived at the hotel about
noon, he saw that there were no pretty girls at the pool. There were no girls
at all. There was nobody at the pool, because the pool was empty. It was
being repaired all that week. The staff had "forgotten" to tell Howard this
little detail.
Howard called Glenn late Friday night.
"How was the fishing?" Glenn asked.
"Didn't see any, didn't catch any," replied Howard.
"Well, did you catch any women?"
"No. And don't even ask how many beauties I saw at the pool. I didn't
go to any bars. But I did go to a Mongolian all-you-can-eat place and had
a good dinner. I think one of the waitresses liked me. She asked me if I
wanted extra ketchup."
"Well, I hope you said yes. Any time a woman asks you if you want
extra anything, that's female code. It means they like you."
"I said no. There was a whole bottle right in front of me."
"Well, you blew it. I don't know when you're going to learn to pick up
on those signals. Next time I'll go with you and show you all the tricks."
"If you knew all the tricks, you wouldn't be divorced three times."
Man Injured at Fast Food Place
A 79-year-old man was slightly injured on Saturday while waiting in

his brand new convertible in a drive-through lane at Burger Prince
restaurant. Herman Sherman of Northville suffered a mild burn about
9:00 p.m. when a young female employee accidentally spilled a cup of
coffee into his lap. Sherman said the coffee was hot but not scalding.
He refused medical aid, saying the only problem was the stain on
his slacks, but it would wash out. He was given a fresh refill. Before
Sherman drove off, the restaurant manager, John Johnson, gave him two
free gift certificates--one for an extra-large coffee and one for the
restaurant's newest sandwich, the McRap.

The employee, who was a new hire, was let go later that evening. She
was quite upset. She said she would probably sue Burger Prince for
letting her go. She said it was the man's fault for ordering something that
she might be able to spill.

Chinese or Continental Cuisine. Which one should we have?

American food?

B: That would be great. What kind of music would you like, a band or
recorded music?

our part and meet again on Friday.

you think this party should be casual or dressy?

B: That will work out fine. Do you think that Chinese or Continental
food would be best?
A: We should probably have both.
B: Yes, that will work out fine. Should we hire a band or bring in a DJ?
A: Maybe we could do both!
B: Everything sounds great then! I'll meet you back here on Friday
to discuss the details.

Giving Instructions on How to Do a Timesheet
Model 1

B: Sure! I can help you. Do you know where the timesheets are kept?

B: Well, once you get one off the shelf over there, you first put your name
on it. OK?

B: Now you have to fill in the hours in the blanks and total the hours for
the week. Do you know how to use military time?

your supervisor.

name on the top. Do you see?

you know how to show time on a 24-hour clock?

show them with a dot followed by the minutes. Do you understand?

B: Yes, well put your name on it after you have downloaded it off the
company website. OK?
A: Yes, I understand what to do.
B: You fill in the hours and total them for the week. Have you ever used a
24 hour clock?
A: What? Huh?
B: So after you noted the hours, starting at zero which is midnight, you just
write down the minutes as a dot followed by minutes. Get it?
A: Huh? What?
B: Just make sure you show your total, sign it, and turn it in.
A: I thought you said this was easy.
B: You are a quick learner. I don't think you'll have any trouble with this.

Making a Phone Call

you hear a tone?

B: Well, when you hear it change, that means you have an outside line.
Where are you trying to call?

Who are you trying to call?

need help.

an outside line. Who are you trying to call?

Asking for a Description of a Person
Model 1
A: What does she look like?

B: Well, she was pretty tall, about 5 feet 10 inches and kind of
scary looking!
A: What do you mean, scary?
B: Well, she had a crazy sounding laugh and wild hair. Do you know
what I mean?
A: Yes, I know what you mean.
B: And her piercing eyes! She looked like an alien who just came
down from outer space. Do you believe that people from outer
space live amongst us?
A: No, that's impossible!
B: Unless they beam us up for a ride, we will never know for sure.
Have you ever thought that you saw a flying saucer?
A: Are you crazy?
B: Hah, I guess we never know what can happen. Do you like Star
Wars movies?
A: Yes, I have seen all of the Star Wars movies.
B: I loved Star Wars movies. My favorite character was Yoda. What
about you?
A: I liked Darth Vader.
B: Yeah, that character was pretty cool. If you had to describe
that character, what would you say about them?
A: She was very beautiful.
B: Yeah, I know what you mean!

Model 2
A: Can you describe her for me?

B: She was large, hairy, and scary!
A: What are you talking about?
B: When she laughed, it sent chills up my spine. Have you ever met
someone like that?
A: Yes, one time I met someone like that.
B: She had eyes like laser beams. Sometimes I wonder if aliens from
UFOs live here with us. Do you think that's possible?
A: Sure, I think it could happen.
B: I guess it's impossible to say for sure unless you go for a ride in
one. Do you think that would be an interesting experience?
A: No, I never want to be near a UFO!
B: Well, you will probably never see one. Have you seen any Star
Wars movies?
A: No, I haven't seen any Star Wars movies.
B: Star Wars was the best. I really like Darth Vader. Do you have
a favorite character?
A: I like Luke Skywalker.
B: Oh yeah, I forgot about that character! What words do you think would
best describe that character?
A: He looked like a black vacuum cleaner.
B: I totally agree!

Model 3
A: How does she look?

B: I am not sure how tall she was but she was very scary!
A: Is this a joke?
B: Oh my god, you should have seen her! She looked like she had just
crawled out from underneath something. Do you get what I am saying?
A: No, I have no idea what you are talking about.
B: Oh man, her eyes were the most incredible glowing green. She might
be a Martian or something. Do you think that is possible?
A: Yes, I believe in UFOs.
B: I've never seen a UFO but I would like to. How about you?
A: Yes, I think that seeing a UFO would be fascinating.
B: Personally, I've never seen one. I think is would be fun to see the
universe like in a Star Wars movie. Have you seen the Star Wars movies?
A: I saw some of them.
B: I loved the special effects and the story. I like Princess Leah. Who did
you like the best?
A: I like Yoda.
B: Yes, that is a good choice. How would you describe that character if
you had to tell someone what they looked like?
A: He was hot!
B: That's a really good description.

B: That would be a possibility. Where is this fundraiser taking place?

from by Sunday evening.

Agreement and Disagreement
Model 1
A: I was thinking of holding the company retreat in the mountains.
B: I agree, I think that that would be perfect!
A: I was thinking it could take place sometime in January.
B: That might be a little too cold for some people.
A: Yes, you are right.
B: What about April? April has good weather that isn't too cold or too hot.
A: Yes, that would work out better.
B: You know, maybe we could take a survey to see how that works for
everyone.
A: Good idea! We'll have to get right on it.
B: Fine! Well, I'll get right on it now!
Model 2
A: I think that the company retreat should be in the mountains this year.
B: What a great idea!
A: January would be a good month for a mountain retreat.
B: I like the mountain idea, but I am not so sure about the month of
January.
A: You know, now that I think about it, you might be right.
B: April might be nice. It is far enough away to make the necessary
arrangements.
A: That is a good suggestion.
B: We could ask everyone what would be the best time for them.
A: Yeah, that would let us know what would work best.
B: I'll put the survey online this afternoon.

Model 3
A: The Mountains would be a great place for the company retreat.
B: That's a wonderful choice.
A: I have chosen January as the month for this retreat.
B: January is a little too close to the Christmas holidays.
A: Yes, maybe another choice might be better.
B: I think that April would work. Spring is a lovely time to be in
the mountains.
A: Thank you for thinking of that.
B: Maybe if we asked around we could see what people would prefer.
A: That is a good idea.
B: I'll take care of taking the survey and get back to you with the answers.

Certainty and Uncertainty
Model 1
A: I was thinking about applying for the new position.

B: Do you think that is a good idea?
A: It seems like a good idea but I am not really sure.
B: What are your main concerns?
A: Well, it would give me a chance to grow, but I am wondering if I
would like the job.
B: I know what you mean, I've thought about that myself.
A: I also am thinking about the pay.
B: Could you take a slight pay decrease for a chance to move forward?
A: Yes, it might be worth it. I am not certain.
B: I think I'm convinced that trying for this position is the best choice for
you.
Model 2
A: I am not certain, but I think I might ask to be considered for the new job.
B: Why are you considering trying for it?
A: I think that I might like it, but I am still thinking about it.
B: What is it about this job that appeals to you?
A: I think that I would enjoy the position but there isn't a lot of creativity
involved.
B: Yes, you could be right. There is a lot to consider.
A: I am also wondering about the pay.
B: Would a slight decrease in pay be worth it for a new opportunity for
growth?
A: I am thinking that might be the case.
B: I think you should give it a shot. What do you have to lose? You
can always change your mind.
Model 3
A: I am considering going for the new job that was posted yesterday.
B: Are you certain that that is what you want to do.
A: It may not be the best choice for me, but I am considering it.
B: Why do you think that this would be a good move?
A: I believe that this job would allow me to move up but might be a little
boring for me.
B: Yes, there are always pros and cons to making a career change.
A: Also, the matter of pay is also a consideration.
B: I think the slight pay decrease might be worth it. The benefits are much
better.
A: Yes, sometimes giving up a little to move forward is the best choice.
B: I think you definitely should apply for the position.

Likes and Dislikes

A: That sounds absolutely disgusting!

Model 2

me.
