When Getting a Driving Ticket Real life English Conversations for English Speaking Practice

You want to improve your English, but you're just lying there doing nothing. Wake up! Progress doesn't happen by itself. No more excuses. No more maybe tomorrow. It's today. It's now. Come with us. Make English dance in your head. Where words stick in your mind with better pronunciation. And English becomes simpler than ever. Hit play, speak out loud, and let's start. Don't use your phone while driving. Driver, pull over immediately. Could I see your license and registration, please? Oh, uh, sure. Just give me a sec. Here you go, officer. Mr. Jack Moore, do you know why I stopped you? I, uh, I don't know, officer. Sir, not only did you run a red light back there, but I also saw you looking down at your phone. Were you texting? I, um, just quickly replied to a message. It was important. Important enough to risk your life and everyone else's? Don't use your phone while driving. It was just my friend asking where we're meeting up. Sir, taking your eyes off the road for even two seconds can cause an accident. Your text can wait. A kid on the street won't. You might not see the kid until it's too late. You're right. I, I wasn't thinking. I'm giving you a warning today. Next time, it's a $200 fine and points on your license. I'm so sorry. I won't do it again. Good. Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel. And please, drive safely. Thank you, officer. You should stay on the sidewalk. Tom, get back on the sidewalk now. Chill, sis. I'm fine. You're walking in a car lane. Since when are you a traffic cone? It's just for a sec. This video's funny. Tom, look out! Holy moly! Are you okay? That car nearly took me out. See? That's exactly why you should stay on the sidewalk. Your eyes were glued to your phone. You didn't even hear it coming. Okay, okay. That was way too close. Back to the sidewalk. Please do. I need my little brother alive. Our mom will be mad at me. Yeah, I kind of prefer being alive. Sorry. Then act like it. Now, please, walk properly. Do you have any free sugar or cream? Welcome to Brewhaven. What can I get started for you today? I'll have a medium black coffee, please. Sure thing. And for you, sir? Uh, same for me, please. You? Mr. I-Need-Five-Extra-Caramel-Wants-Black-Coffee. I see you drink it every morning. I wanted to try your weird bitter drink. Okay. But just in case, I think they've got free sugar and cream. Really? Oh, wait. Do you have any free sugar or cream? Yes, we've got sugar and half and half. Great. Can I get two pounds of sugar, please? I'm sorry. Did you say two pounds? Yeah, two pounds. Who? Who's gonna give you two pounds of sugar for free? Huh? The, you know, the little sugar that comes with the coffee. It's packets, Eddie. Like tiny paper ones. Unless you're planning to open a bakery. Oh, I... Two packets, please. Not pounds. Why did I say pounds? No problem. Two medium black coffees, two sugar packets. That'll be $7.50. Oh, this is going in the group chat. What's your destination? Thank you for calling Delta Airlines. My name's Daniel. How can I help you today? Hello. I need to book a flight for next week. Certainly. First, may I confirm if this is a single? Single? I'm not married. Sir, I mean the ticket. Would you like a single or round-trip ticket? Can you explain? My English is not good. Of course, sir. A single ticket means you only fly to your final stop. A round-trip means you fly there and then come back. Oh, yes. Single, please. Only going. Great. What's your destination? My what? Your destination, sir. The place you'd like to go. Oh, I go to Gotland in Sweden. Got it. And which city will you depart from? Like, from where? Your starting point. Uh, New York. Perfect. Now for your seating. Hey, hey. Thinking about skipping. We've got more conversations coming to level up your English. Quick break first. Blink a few times. Roll your shoulders. Then settle back in. Trust me, it's worth it. Ready? Let's roll into the next conversation. On at. Alice, dinner's ready. Can you go sit on the table? You want me to sit on the table? Yeah, on the table. Yumi, on the table means you're sitting or standing on top of it. Like Mochi over here. What you should say here is, sit at the table. Which means next to it, ready to eat. Ah, I thought they were the same. So, on the table is only for things, right? Yeah, and if you sat on it, it's gonna break for sure. English is so tricky. In Japanese, it's just one word. Well, here, one wrong word and suddenly you're part of the table decoration. Okay, I'll remember. Sit at the table, not on the table. In time, on time. Marg, you're late! No, no, no. I'm on time. Class starts at nine and it's nine now. Well, then you're actually just in time. Seriously, what's the difference? On time is exactly at the right time or earlier. In time is just before it's too late. I'm not on time? Nope, one staircase fall and you'll be late. So, in time is like barely making it. Yeah, it's like arriving in time to catch a bus before the doors close. Or in time to copy your notes before the professor walks in. You mean, in time to study together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally what I meant. I'm on my period. Morning, Lisa. You okay? I have a red day. A red day? Is that a store sale or something? No, something happens to us every month. Red blood. Oh, you mean your period. My what now? Period. In English, we say I'm on my period. You know, those days when you feel unwell every month. Red day sounds like a festival. Yeah, I was trying not to say it directly. Oh, the pain. Oh, poor you. I'll get you some warm water and a hot pack. They will help with your stomach pain. And avoid cold food or coffee, okay? Even coffee? Yeah, coffee can make the pain worse. Okay, no more coffee. Thanks, Dr. Kelly. Want some ginger tea, too? It helps with bloating. Yes, please. It's my honor. Thanks, Abel. Without your help, I don't even think I could pull up all these bags. Eh? It's my honor to help? It's just honor. The H is silent. It's my honor. Really? But it's right there in the spelling. H-O-N-O-R. English loves silent letters. Like hour. We say hour, not power. Ah, and honest is on east, yes? Yeah, here's a tricky one. What about island? Is is land? Again, the S is like that quiet neighbor who never complains. It's island. English is cheating at this point. Well, it's my honor to learn this. Now you sound like a native speaker. My honest thanks, neighbor Wendy. Okay, don't push it. Want some iced tea for your trouble? What are you thinking about? Hey, Sam! You've been quiet for a while. What are you thinking about? Oh, just life, I guess. You know, where I'm going and what I want to do next. Yeah, I get that. It's hard when there are so many choices. But none of them seem clear. Exactly. Sometimes I feel like I'm just stuck, not moving forwards. Do you ever feel like that? All the time. But I think it's normal. We're all trying to figure things out. I know, but I can't. Trust me, Sam. No one really has it all figured out. It's okay to take things one step at a time. Thanks, Lily. It helps to hear that. Maybe I'm just thinking too much. Maybe. But that's okay, too. Just remember, you're not alone in this. Yeah, I appreciate you being here. The event was a huge success! Hey, Rachel. How did the charity event go yesterday? The event was a huge success! We raised more money than we expected. That's amazing! I knew all your hard work would pay off. How much did you raise? Almost double our goal. Everyone was so generous, and the auction items sold out quickly. Wow, that's incredible! You must feel proud of all the hard work that you did. I am, but it wasn't just me. The whole team did a great job. And you were a big help, too, with organizing the volunteers. I'm glad I could help. It's nice to hear that everything went so well. Yeah, and everyone had a great time. I couldn't be happier right now. Jake, you won't believe it! What happened, Emma? You look so excited! I just got the job offer from that company I really wanted! I couldn't be happier right now! That's amazing, Emma! I knew you could do it! You worked so hard for this. I know. I was so nervous in the interview, but I've nailed it. I start next month. Wow, that's great news! We need to celebrate. How about dinner out tonight? There's that new Italian restaurant downtown I've been wanting to try. That sounds perfect. But what about your cooking? Don't worry, we'll have this later. How about homemade dinner with some champagne? Alright, if you say so. We can make a proper toast to your success. Can you fix this for me, please? Hey, Tom, can you fix this for me, please? I tried, but it's just too tangled. Sure, let me see. Wow, this is really tangled. How did this happen? I threw it into my bag in a hurry this morning. I was trying to untangle it for 20 minutes, but I gave up. No worries, I'm pretty good with these things. It might take a few minutes, though. Thank you so much, Tom. I didn't want to accidentally break it. Is it special? Yeah, it was a gift from my mom. She gave it to me on my last birthday. I can see why you like it. Don't worry, I'll have it back to you in no time. Yoo-hoo, keep pushing forward! Remember, even the best speakers were beginners once. You've got this! Why did you change your mind? I thought you were coming to the Halloween party. Why did you change your mind? Yeah, I was planning to go. But then I realized I still have a lot of work. Oh, come on, Ben. You've been talking about this party for weeks. I know, I was really looking forward to it, too. But I've got this big project due on Monday. But you said you had everything under control. What happened? Well, I might have thought it would take less time. And my boss gave me some extra work yesterday. It's been a mess. That's tough. But couldn't you take a break and join us for just a couple of hours? Well, let me see if I can arrange it. I'm shocked by the news. Claire, I'm shocked by the news. Did you hear about the company's decision? No, I haven't. What happened, Emily? They're closing the downtown office. They announced it this morning. Everyone there is being moved or let go. What? That's huge. I can't believe it. A lot of people work there. What's going to happen to them? They said they'll try to move as many people as possible. But not everyone is guaranteed a spot. It's just so sudden. That's tough. I know some of the staff there. Mark, Anna. They must be feeling so unsure right now. The cake turned out perfectly. Wow, Sarah, look at this. The cake turned out perfectly. It looks amazing, Lily. The top is so even and golden. I was a bit worried when we accidentally added too much flour. Yeah, me too. But it seems like we did something right. I think the extra bit of vanilla helped balance it out. And the kitchen smells so good. I can't wait to taste it. Should we let it cool before adding the frosting? Definitely. It needs at least 20 minutes or the frosting will just melt. But I'm so happy it didn't sink in the middle like last time. What time is the next bus? Excuse me, what time is the next bus? Hmm, let me see. The schedule says it should be here in about 10 minutes. 10 minutes? I feel like we've been waiting forever. I know, buses are always late here. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes even longer. True, I guess we're lucky it's not raining. Yeah, that would make it even worse. Where are you heading, by the way? Just going downtown to meet a friend for lunch. How about you? Same. I have some shopping to do. Hopefully, we don't have to wait too much longer. Fingers crossed. Do you want to go to the movies later? Hey Mia, do you want to go to the movies later? Hmm, that sounds fun. What time are you thinking? How about the 7 p.m. show? Perfect. We can get burgers at that place near the theater. Great idea. Maybe we can get popcorn too. I can't watch a movie without it. Same here. I like the caramel one. What about you? I'm more of a classic butter popcorn guy. Hey, we can get both and share. Deal. So, do you have any movie in mind? Yes, it's about a detective trying to solve a mystery in space. Lots of action and a bit of comedy too. Sounds like a blast. Let's go. He doesn't know what to do next. I just talked to Max and he doesn't know what to do next. Really? What's going on with him? Well, you know he lost his job last month, right? He's been looking everywhere, but nothing's working out. Yeah, that's tough. Has he thought about trying a new field? He mentioned it, but he's not sure if that's the right move. I get that. When you don't have a clear path, it's easy to feel lost. Maybe he just needs some time to figure things out. How long will it take? Alex, do you have the GPS ready? How long will it take to get to the cabin? Yeah, I just put in the address. It says about two and a half hours without traffic. Two and a half hours. That's a bit longer than I expected. Do you think we'll hit traffic on the way? Probably, since it's Friday evening. But, well, I believe in your driving skill. That sounds like a plan. Should we grab some snacks? Good idea. We can stop by the convenience store on the corner. How long do you think it'll take us to unpack and settle in once we get there? Maybe 30 minutes or so. The cabin isn't too big, so it shouldn't take long to get everything set up. Great. I just can't wait to relax by the lake. I can't find my phone anywhere. I've looked all over the house. Are you sure you didn't leave it in the car? Sometimes you forget it there. I thought of that, but I just checked the car. It's not there either. Okay, let's think back to where you were. Where did you last see it? I had it when I got home. Then I went into the kitchen to get some food. Did you check in the kitchen drawers or the fridge? Sometimes you put things in strange places. Good idea. Well, yeah, it's in the fridge. How much does this cost? Good morning. How can I help you today? Good morning. I'm looking for a dress for my goddaughter. Her birthday is coming. Great. May I know how old she is? She's going on five. Check out this one. It's really trendy. How much does this cost? It's 120 dollars. 120 dollars? That seems a bit pricey for a little dress. You're right, but the fabric is really high quality. Feel it. Ah, you're right. It is very durable, so it can be passed down to other girls after your goddaughter grows out of it. How nice. I will take it. I'm looking forward to the weekend. What will you do this weekend? I haven't thought about it yet. How about you? There's a new action movie, so I want to go to the cinema to check it out. That sounds like a nice idea. And then I plan to hit the newly opened cafe down the road. They will have a glass painting workshop this weekend. Wow, that workshop sounds interesting. I really want to join. Why not? Do you want to come with me? To the workshop? Yes, to the workshop and to the cinema. What do you think? I'm in. I'm looking forward to the weekend. So am I. Can you turn off the light before you leave? I'm going to the grocery store. Do you need anything? Yes. Can you grab me a bottle of tomato sauce? Sure. Do you want a specific brand? No, I don't. Anything's fine, but please avoid the expensive brands. Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Do you need anything else? Well, let's see. Can you grab a few bars of hand soap? How many bars do you want? Probably three or four bars. They run out quickly. I get it. Is there anything else that you need? No, that's all. Okay, so see you later. Can you turn off the light before you leave? I prefer watching TV in the dark. Sure. I need to buy some groceries on my way home. Hey Sarah, when do you get home today? Maybe around 7 p.m. Oh, that is quite late. Do you have to work overtime today? Not really. I need to buy some groceries on my way home. So I will come home later than usual. Oh, if you stop by the grocery store today, can you grab me some milk? Of course. What kind of milk do you want? Let's see. Normally, I drink full fat milk. This time, I want to try out skimmed milk. Got it. Do you prefer a specific brand? No, I don't. Anything is fine. All right, I have to go now. See you later. See you. Could you help me with this report? Hi Tim, do you have a minute? Hi Jack, what's up? Could you help me with this report? Let me see. What's the report about? It's about our company's last month's spending. Sure, what do you need me to help you with? I need to do some calculations, but there's some missing data. What kind of data do you need? I need to look at our last month's bills. Jane told me you keep a track of them. Yes, she's right. I keep them in a folder on my computer. Great, can you send them to me? Sure, I will send you right now. Thank you so much. You're very welcome. Let's meet at the cafe at noon. Hey Kate. Hi Sue, how are you? I'm good, and you? Amazing. So, are you free today? Well, not really. I will go to my aunt's house this evening. Today is my niece's birthday. Oh really? Happy birthday to her. Anyway, how about noon? Noon? I guess I will just lie on my bed and read something. What's up? Do you want to go to the newly opened coffee shop with me? Is there a newly opened coffee shop? Yes, and it is quite near your house. It is at number 36 King Street. Oh, I remember that one. I kind of want to visit it too. So, how about we have lunch there? Sure, let's meet at the cafe at noon. I forgot to bring my umbrella today. Hey Jason, may I ask you for one favor? It depends, what do you need? Well, it seems it's going to rain. Yes, you're right. Watched the weather forecast this morning and they said it was going to rain. So, the problem is I forgot to bring my umbrella today. That's so bad. Yes, that's why I'm wondering if you could give me a lift? Oh, I'm not sure about that. Your place is on the other side of town. I know, but I'm going to my parents' place today. They live in your neighborhood. Oh, cool. Yeah, I can definitely give you a lift then. Don't forget to practice your English every day to improve your English level. Watch the video for one week.
