English A1 Speaking & Writing #044
Topic: Greeting someone and starting a simple chat
Lesson overview:
In this lesson, you will practice a very short greeting, introducing yourself, and starting a friendly conversation. This is useful for speaking and for writing a simple first message.
Review from earlier lessons:
- message = a short text or note
- later = after now; at a future time
- clear = easy to understand
New words:
1) hello — heh-loh — a greeting
2) name — naym — the word for a person
3) meet — meet — to see and talk to someone for the first time
4) chat — chat — a short friendly talk
5) question — kwes-chun — a sentence that asks for information
Word usage notes:
- Hello is a friendly start.
- Name is used when you introduce yourself.
- Meet is used with a new person.
- Chat is good for a short, easy conversation.
- Question is used before asking for information.
Simple example sentences:
1) Hello, my name is Lina.
Reading: heh-loh, mai naym iz lee-nah.
Meaning: Hello, my name is Lina.
Use: A simple self-introduction.
2) Nice to meet you.
Reading: nais tuh meet yoo.
Meaning: Nice to meet you.
Use: A polite line after meeting someone new.
3) Do you have a question?
Reading: doo yoo hav uh kwes-chun?
Meaning: Do you have a question?
Use: A useful question in a short conversation.
4) We can chat now.
Reading: wee kan chat now.
Meaning: We can chat now.
Use: A friendly line for speaking.
5) I have one question.
Reading: ai hav wun kwes-chun.
Meaning: I have one question.
Use: A simple sentence before asking for information.
Mini practice:
- Say the first sentence out loud.
- Write your name after 'My name is'.
