PART 1 — DIRECTIONS: Read the dialogues below in English, then translate them and read them in your primary language.
Dialogue 4: Airport Bus
- Stan: What time does the bus leave for the airport?
- Harry: I don’t know. It used to leave every half hour, but I think the schedule’s been changed.
- Stan: Do you know the telephone number to call?
- Harry: It’s Enterprise 7-4700. At least that’s what it used to be.
- Stan: Yeah, I’ll try it. (Pause) They don’t seem to answer.
- Harry: I expect that it’s a little too early. I don’t think they open until nine o’clock.
Dialogue 5: Making a Date
- Drew: What time are you leaving tomorrow?
- Paul: You mean to go to the graduation ceremony?
- Drew: Yes, I’d like to go with you if I may.
- Paul: I’d be delighted to take you. I plan to leave here about nine-thirty.
- Drew: Fine. I can be ready by then.
- Paul: Okay. I’ll pick you up at your house.
- Drew: See you tomorrow, then, about nine-thirty.
Dialogue 6: Catching a Bus
- Steve: Is this where I catch the bus for the zoo?
- Alan: You can take a T-30 from here, but then you have to walk about six blocks.
- Steve: That doesn’t sound too bad.
- Alan: Actually, if you go to the bus stop in the next block, you can take a Z-8 which will let you right off in front of the zoo.
- Steve: Maybe that’s what I’ll do. Thanks a lot.
- Alan: You’re welcome.

Hi everyone. This is a good lesson, I’m agree. Yeah we improve our English skills. There is a thing that I’d like to share with you:
You mean to go to the graduation ceremony?
In this case, didn’t be used an auxiliary verb do to ask the question. It’s a tipical way to speak native English, I think.

Respected Sir, I watched, read and pronounce with the video. It is a very useful drill to enhance my English language. The issue I am facing when I translate any word or sentence in my own language which is Urdu , the translation of that word and sentence is
not the proper meaning. Translator tells the word to the word’s meaning. anyhow I am
learning and feeling progress in my English Language,. Thank you so very much.
Very useful dialogues. We can internalize them quickly and easily.
