English A1 Speaking & Writing #071
Topic: Asking for a Time, Confirming It, and Writing a Simple Appointment Note
Lesson overview:
In this lesson, you practice a very common speaking and writing skill: asking about a time, giving a time, and confirming a simple appointment. This is useful for class, a meeting, or a short plan with another person. First, review a little from the last lessons: a message can be a short communication, and a reply is an answer. Today, we use that idea with time and a simple appointment note.
5 useful words:
1) time — reading: taim — meaning: a clock hour
2) meet — reading: miit — meaning: see someone for a purpose
3) morning — reading: mor-ning — meaning: the early part of the day
4) afternoon — reading: af-ter-noon — meaning: the middle part of the day
5) confirm — reading: kon-furm — meaning: say that something is correct and sure
