Welcome to the first episode, English Speaking Course.

In this course, we'll teach you how to speak confidently and fluently.

In addition, you will get to know most of the used vocabulary and phrases in real life.

After finishing this course, you'll master speaking on any topic, but please follow the instructions.

First, you're going to listen to the conversation without repeating.

After the conversation is over, I'll give you a chance to speak.

So, in this episode, we'll have a conversation about our daily lives.

Without further ado, let's dive in.

Oh, it was the regular work stuff, meetings, emails, the whole routine.

How about yours?

Same old classes and assignments.

But you won't believe what happened today in the cafeteria.

Tell me about it.

Well, I was waiting in line, and suddenly, the lunch lady mixed up my order with someone else's.

So, instead of my usual turkey sandwich, I ended up with a tuna sandwich.

It was a bit strange, but surprisingly delicious.

Haha, that's funny.

I guess it added some excitement to your day.

Definitely.

Anyway, any exciting plans for the weekend on your end?

Not really, just planning to catch up on some TV shows and maybe hit the gym.

How about you?

Oh, same here.

Netflix and chill, and I've been thinking about starting a new workout routine.

Let's see if it lasts longer than a week this time.

I know the struggle, but we can do it.

For sure.

By the way, have you heard about that new cafe that opened downtown?

Sweet Delights, I think it's called.

Oh, yeah, I've been wanting to check it out.

Maybe we could go together this weekend?

Sounds like a plan.

Pastries and good company.

What more could you ask for?

Exactly.

Looking forward to it.

That was an insightful conversation between Alex and Emma.

Now let's take a look at some phrases in the conversation.

First, we have the phrase mix up.

So the meaning of the phrase that.

It refers to a situation where a mistake happened in the arrangement.

Example, I mixed up my luggage at the airport and now I have someone else's suitcase instead of mine.

That means I did that by mistake, not intentionally.

The second phrase we have is end up.

So end up means to finally arrive at a particular result, often unexpectedly.

Example, I didn't plan to work in this field, but I ended up loving it.

The third phrase is catch up.

So the phrase catch up has several meanings.

But when she says in the conversation, I need to catch up on some TV shows.

She wants to watch episodes on TV shows that she hasn't seen yet.

That means she is behind on the latest episodes and she wants to get up to date.

The fourth one, same old.

It is commonly used to express that things are unchanged or that a situation is recurring familiarly.

For example, nothing new, just the same old problems.

Hit the gym is an informal expression that means to go to the gym or engage in a workout or exercise session.

The sixth one, the term chill, is often associated with relaxation.

For example, after a long day at work, I like to chill and watch TV.

Hey, Emma, how's everything going?

I get it.

How was your day?

Same old classes and assignments.

But you won't believe what happened today in the cafeteria.

Well, I was waiting in line and suddenly the lunch lady mixed up my order with someone else's.

So instead of my usual turkey sandwich, I ended up with a tuna sandwich.

It was a bit strange, but surprisingly delicious.

Definitely.

Anyway, any exciting plans for the weekend on your end?

Sweet Delights, I think it's called.

Pastries and good company.

What more could you ask for?

In this part, you'll be asked some questions to make sure that you understand the meaning of the words that we've mentioned.

The first one is, to finally arrive at a particular result, often unexpectedly, we need you to guess the meaning of the sentence by choosing one word from the list.

The right answer is, end up.

The second one is, it refers to the unchanged things, or the situation is recurring familiarly.

The right answer is, same old.

The third one is, that it refers to a situation that a mistake happened in the arrangement.

The right answer is, mix up.

Alright, that's it for today's episode.
