A: Whoa, whoa, what’s going on? Watch out!
B: Hey, watch where you’re going!
A: Oh, no! I’m so sorry! Are you all right?
B: Oh...I don’t know.
A: I feel terrible, I really didn’t mean to knock you over. My tire, just exploded, and I lost control of my bike. Really, it was an accident. Please accept my apologies.
B: Just let me try to stand up.
SONG: Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near?
B: Oh, wait a second, you seem really familiar, I think I know you from somewhere.
A: Yeah, that’s right! I think we have met somewhere before. We met at Aaron’s place last weekend! What a coincidence! But anyway, I’m glad to see that you’re not too badly hurt, and I should probably get going. I have a nine o’clock meeting. But here's my number. Call me and we'll exchange insurance information.
B: Ouch! My ankle! I think it’s broken! You can’t just leave me like this!
B: Are you calling an ambulance?
A: Nope, I’m canceling my appointment so that I can stay here with you.
SONG: Do you remember when we met? That’s the day I knew you were my pet. I wanna tell you how much I love you.

M: Hello everyone! And welcome back to another great lesson with EnglishPod! My name is Marco.
E: And I’m Erica.
M: Erica, today we have a great intermediate lesson.
E: That’s right, we’ve got a lesson about love…
M: About love?
E: And about apologizing.
M: Uh, okay, love and apologizing.
E: They go together.
M: Yes, they do, if… especially if you have a girlfriend or boyfriend, right?
E: That’s true.
M: Hehe. Okay, so, why don’t we start by looking at our “vocabulary preview”?
Voice: Vocabulary preview.
E: In today’s vocabulary preview we will learn two important words from our dialogue. What’s the first word?
M: Knock over.
E: Knock over.
M: Knock over.
E: Knock over.
M: So, that’s a really simple one, when you knock something over…
E: You make it fall down.
M: Make it fall down.
E: Yep, speaking of knocking things over, this morning I knocked over my coffee cup all over my desk.
M: Yeah, I saw that.
E: Yeah.
M: You almost ruined our lesson plan for today.
E: Yes, I did. It was all over the place.
M: Hehe. Okay, let’s look at our second word – explode.
E: Explode.
M: Explode.
E: Explode.
M: So, when something explodes, this is what happens.
Sound of an explosion.
E: Alright, that’s pretty clear.
M: Hehe. That’s more than clear I think. So, now we’ve looked at our two vocabulary preview words for this dialogue and we are ready to listen to it for the first time.
DIALOGUE, FIRST TIME
E: I love happy endings.
M: Hehe. Such a romantic dialogue.
E: Yeah, this guy, oh my God, he is amazing! I would love to meet a guy like that.
M: Like that? Like crashing into you?
E: Maybe not LIKE that.
M: Hehe.
E: Okay, well, I think it’s time to, uh, look at some of the language in this dialogue. Let’s start with our “language takeaway”.
Voice: Language takeaway.
E: Today we have three important words from our dialogue that we will learn for our language takeaway. The first word is familiar.
M: Familiar.
E: Familiar.
M: Familiar.
E: This one I think is a little bit hard to explain.
M: Yeah, so, let’s listen to some examples on how we use familiar.
Voice: Example one.
A: Norman Clark, that name sounds familiar. Where have I heard it before?
Voice: Example two.
B: Do you know where we are?
C: I have no idea. Nothing looks familiar, I think we’re lost.
Voice: Example three.
D: You look really familiar. Did we go to high school together?
E: So, when something’s familiar, you think you know it, but you’re not exactly sure.
M: Exactly, familiar.
E: Okay, our next word is…
M: Place.
E: Place.
M: Place.
E: Aaron’s place.
M: Exactly, so, when we refer to place, we refer to house.
E: Right, so, I can say “Hey, Marco, come over to my place for dinner tonight”.
M: Exactly, or I could say, um, “We’re having a party at my place tonight at eight”.
E: You might ask someone “How’s your new place?”
M: Right.
E: How’s your new apartment?
M: Exactly, that’s a good one.
E: Yeah.
M: So, place. It’s a house.
E: Right. Our final word today is…
M: Coincidence.
E: Coincidence.
M: Coincidence.
E: Coincidence.
M: So, again we have some great examples for you to understand how we use coincidence.
Voice: Example one.
A: I’m going to Ney York this weekend.
B: What a coincidence? I am too.
Voice: Example two.
C: By coincidence, everyone in the room was named Alex.
Voice: Example three.
D: We met by pure coincidence. One day we ran into each other on our bikes and we’ve been together ever since.
E: A coincidence is something that happens by chance, right?
M: Right, you didn’t plane it, it just happened.
E: Yeah, these funny little things happen all the time, I love it when these coincidences happen.
M: Hehe. Yeah, they’re great. So, Erica, why don’t you tell us about a coincidence that’s happened to you?
E: Well, uh, the other night I was having dinner, uh, in a restaurant and I looked up and I saw my old professor…
M: Wow!
E: From university.
M: Hehe.
E: I was such a coincidence, because here we are in Shanghai and I see my professor from Canada…
M: Hehe.
E: Having dinner at the table next to me. It was such a coincidence.
M: That is a coincidence.
E: Yeah.
M: Or has it ever happened to you that you’re thinking of someone and that person calls you?
E: That happens all the time.
M: Hehe. That’s a coincidence.
E: Yeah, yeah.
M: Okay, so, now that we have learned these three language takeaway words, we can listen to our dialogue a second time, but this time it’s gonna be slower.
DIALOGUE, SECOND TIME (slow)
E: Well, that was much clearer, wasn’t it?
M: Yes, that was clearer and this brings us to “fluency builder”.
Voice: Fluency builder.
E: In today’s fluency builder we’re going to show you different ways of apologizing. It’s so important to be able to apologize well, um, and fluently.
M: Exactly, and you also wanna say something different from “I’m sorry”.
E: Right.
M: So, that’s what we’re gonna show you today.
E: We heard some great expressions for “I’m sorry” in the dialogue. Let’s listen now.
Phrase 1: I’m so sorry; I feel terrible; please accept my apologies. I’m so sorry; I feel terrible; please accept my apologies.
E: Yeah, I feel terrible, I say this one all the time.
M: Yeah, it’s a great way of saying “I’m sorry”. Now, also if you wanna say “I’m sorry”, you also wanna tell the person that you made a mistake, right?
E: That’s true, and we did hear some wonderful expressions for “I made a mistake” in this dialogue.
Phrase 2: I didn’t mean to knock you over; it was an accident. I didn’t mean to knock you over; it was an accident.
E: Well, I didn’t mean to knock my coffee cup over this morning.
M: Exactly, it was an accident.
E: It was.
M: Hehe. Not on purpose, right?
E: Or so you think.
M: Hehe. Okay, so, all of these phrases are really useful and great for apologizing and telling someone you made a mistake.
E: Well, it’s time for us to listen to our dialogue a third time. This time it’ll be at its normal speed and I think you’ll be able to understand a little bit better.
DIALOGUE, THIRD TIME
M: Great dialogue and great music, right?
E: Wonderful music, who picked that, Marco?
M: Of course, me. I’m a romantic type, I love romantic music.
E: Really?
M: Yes.
E: Well, speaking of a romantic type, do you believe in love at first sight?
M: I… I kind of do.
E: Really?
M: I… I’d like to believe it. Yeah, well… If…
E: That surprises me.
M: Hehe. Well, I think the first time that you see someone it impresses you someway and you feel attracted to that person.
E: Really?
M: Yeah, at least it’s the first feeling that you get that makes you want to talk to that person or get to know that person.
E: I’m the exact opposite.
M: Really?
E: When I see somebody for the first time, my first impression is always wrong.
M: Uh, okay.
E: So, if I see someone and I like them at the beginning, in three weeks I’ll hate them.
M: Hehe.
E: And if I see someone and I hate… I don’t like them when I first meet them, I will… I’ll be their best friend.
M: Uh, yeah, yeah.
E: So, love at first sight doesn’t work for me.
M: Hehe. I’m sure that our listeners have some stories at love at first sight. Maybe they met their wives or their boyfriends in this way.
E: I’d like to hear about it.
M: Me too, and if anybody knows the name of the songs we used, also be sure to post it on the discussion board.
E: That’s right, our challenge for this week.
M: Our challenge for this lesson.
E: Yeah.
M: So, that’s all for today everyone, but be sure to go to our website at englishpod.com, and as we said leave all your comments, your s
