English A1 Speaking & Writing #032
Topic: Asking for a simple change of plan and writing a short update
Lesson overview:
Today we practice a very common A1 speaking and writing skill: changing a plan politely. You will learn how to say sorry, ask to meet later, and write a short update. This lesson continues the course after reservation, note, and introduction practice. We still use simple, useful English for everyday life.
Review from previous lessons:
- reservation / booking: a planned place or arrangement
- note: a short written message
- reply: a short answer
New words:
1) change — cheynj — make different
2) plan — plan — idea for what to do
3) meet — meet — see a person together
4) later — lay-ter — after now
5) sorry — sor-ee — I feel bad
Word usage notes:
- change: use it when a plan becomes different.
- plan: use it for a simple idea for the day.
- meet: use it for seeing a person in person.
- later: use it for a future moment.
- sorry: use it to sound polite.
Example sentences:
1) I need a change of plan.
Reading: ai need uh cheynj uhv plan
Meaning: I need a different plan.
2) Can we meet later?
Reading: kan wee meet lay-ter
Meaning: Can we see each other after now?
3) Sorry, I cannot come today.
Reading: sor-ee, ai kan-not kum tuh-day
Meaning: I feel bad, I am not able to come today.
4) I will come tomorrow.
Reading: ai wil kum tuh-mor-oh
Meaning: I will come on the next day.
5) Please call me later.
Reading: pleez kawl mee lay-ter
Meaning: Please contact me after now.
Mini practice:
