Stay In Touch

12 March 2010: Everyday Expressions & Responses

It has been ages since there was last a Stay in Touch, and what I really want to know is if there are still people out there looking at the lessons, or whether there are now so many alternatives available that they are no longer necessary. So if you are one of the users who want it to continue then please e-mail the school and let me know. You can get in touch with Nigel and he will let me know. His email address is: nigel@english-in-chester.co.uk. It would also be useful if you could give us some ideas of the language areas you would like to practise.

Today, with spring in the air and everyone recovering from a very hard winter I thought we would look at some everyday expressions and responses. The first task is easy, so if you do it quickly and get all the answers right, go on to task 2.

Exercise 1
Match the two parts of the conversation.
Lovely day today, isn't it?   
I like your new coat. Where did you get it?   
I've lost my book. Have you seen it?   
I haven't got any change for the drinks machine.   
I went to bed really late last night.   
Would you like some more chicken?   
How are you feeling today?   
I'm so pleased it's Friday today.   
I'm going to Liverpool, would you like to come?   
Shall I help you clear the table?   
Exercise 2
Match the two parts of the conversation.
The traffic's awful this week, isn't it?   
I can't believe Peter's split up with Jane.   
I haven't got my new car insurance yet.   
Do you think I should buy that dress we saw in Gap?   
How was your weekend?   
If I were you, I'd get a taxi home.   
My computer doesn't seem to be connecting to the internet.   
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?   
That can't be your new car! It's amazing!   
He was caught speeding on the motorway.   

The saying to remember this week is "The grass is always greener on the other side". We use it when we say that we always want what other people have because we think it is better than what we have.

Have a good spring and don't forget to let us know what we should do about Stay in Touch.
