Unit 3
First Contact
Social English 1
1. Listening When you meet someone for the first time and start up a
conversation, it is important to find points of common interest so that the
conversation can run smoothly. Listen to the five dialogues on the tape.
Decide if you think they are successful (Y) or not (N) in making initial contact.
Dialogue 1 ( )
Dialogue 2 ( )
Dialogue 3 ( )
Dialogue 4 ( )
Dialogue 5 ( )
Now listen again and note down the answers to these questions.
Dialogue 1: Has the visitor been to Japan before?
Dialogue 2: Which hotel is the visitor staying in?
Dialogue 3: What to// interest do they find?
Dialogue 4: What to// interest do they find?
Dialogue 5: What to// interest do they find?
Listening task
Dialogue 1
A: Is this your first trip to Japan?
B: Yes, it is.
A: Do you like it here?
B: yes, it seems interesting.
A: Would you like another drink?
B: Thank you.
Dialogue 2
A: How was your trip?
B: Fine, thanks.
A: How do you find Tokyo?
B: Very interesting.
A: Which hotel are you staying in?
B: The Sheraton.
Dialogue 3
A: Is this your first trip to Japan?
B: Yes, but hopefully not my last.
A: I'm pleased to hear that. Have you found time to see much?
B: Well, I visited the gardens.
A: Oh, are you interested in gardens?
B: Actually, yes, it's my hobby.
A: Mine too…
Dialogue 4
A: Are you staying long?
B: No, unfortunately only a couple of weeks.
A: Business or pleasure?
B: Business, I'm afraid. My company is setting up an office here in Tokyo.
A: Really? Where is your company based?
B: In Detroit, sort of north mid-west of the States.
A: Yes, I know it. I visited it two years ago.
B: Ah, really?…
Dialogue 5
A: I believe you're in fashion.
B: Yes that's right- on the design side.
A: That's a coincidence. My wife's a fashion designer.
B: Oh, I'd like to meet her.
A: You must come round to dinner one evening.
B: That would be nice.
A: Good, I'll fix it up later this week.
2. Presentation Successful conversation depends on finding a topic both people
can easily talk about. One-way of reaching this point is to follow a number of
steps until a to// interest is found. A typical sequence might be:
1. opening question
2. immediate answer
3. follow-up question
4. immediate answer + additional comment
5. next question or comment on to// interest
6. Answer or further comment on to// interest
Now look more closely at the typical sequence of conversation.
2.1 Opening question
Is this your first trip to________________?
How was your trip?
2.2 Immediate answer
Yes, it is.
Fine, thanks.
2.3 Follow-up question
Are you staying long?
Business or pleasure?
2.4 Immediate answer
No.
Business.
Note: These answers are not helpful in finding a common interest. You need to
make an additional comment.
2.5 Additional comment
But hopefully not my last.
Unfortunately only a couple of weeks.
Business, I'm afraid. My company is setting up an office here in Tokyo.
2.6 Next question
Have you found time to see much?
Really? Where is your company based?
2.7 Establishing to// interest
Are you interested in gardens?
Oh, I visited Detroit a couple of years ago.
That's a coincidence. My wife is in fashion, too.
3. Controlled practice
The following four dialogues are in the wrong order. Rearrange them to make a
natural flow of conversation.
Dialogue 1
( ) Really? What did you expect?
( ) No, I've been to the States before, but this is the first time in Atlanta.
( ) So, what do you think of Atlanta?
( ) Fine, I'll see what I can arrange.
( ) Well, it's not what I expected.
( ) There is a part like that. You must let me show you around.
( ) Well, I suppose I thought it would be more traditional.
( ) That would be interesting.
( ) Is this your first trip over here?
Dialogue 2
( ) I'm sure. I hope to get back here again
( ) That's a pity. There's a lot to see.
( ) Good. Are you here on business then?
( ) Are you staying long?
( ) Really? That's interesting. What line are you in?
( ) No, just a couple of days.
) Yes, we're thinking of setting up an office here.
Dialogue 3
( ) That would be nice.
( ) That's interesting. My son is an editor on the local paper.
( ) I believe you're in journalism.
( ) Really? I expect I'll meet him.
( ) Yes, that's right -on the editorial side.
( ) Yes, what about coming round for a drink? I could introduce you to him.
Dialogue 4
( ) Scotland. This time of year it's pretty cold.
( ) A bit warmer than back home.
( ) Well, if you do come across, you must visit us.
( ) Oh, so where do you come from?
( ) Yes, that's right. The best time to visit is in the summer.
( ) I can imagine. I've never been but people tell me it's very beautiful.
( ) How do you find the weather here?
( ) Maybe I'll get across next year.
课文注释及词汇讲解
* try 试图
try to do sth. 尽力做某事
e.g. We'll try to meet the customers' demands
我们将尽力满足客户的需求。
* common interest 共同兴趣
e.g. Two strangers are trying to find topics of common interest.
两个陌生人正在尽量寻找双方都感兴趣的话题。
* trip 旅行
e.g. This is my second trip to the United States.
这是我第二次来美国。
* Do you like it here?
你喜欢这儿吗?
注意:
代词"it"在这里没有什么实际意义,但必不可少。因为here为副词,like
为及物动词,所以需要有it做宾语。
* How do you find Tokyo?
你觉得东京怎么样?
也可以说成 "What do you think of Tokyo?"或 "How do you like Tokyo?"
* interesting 令人感兴趣的
e.g. The film is interesting.
这部电影很有趣。
Interested (人对某事或某物)感受到有兴趣的
E.g. I'm interested in the film.
我对这部影片感兴趣。
* another 另一(个,件…)
e.g. Would you like another cup of tea?
你还要一杯茶吗?
I need another day to finish the work..
我还需要一天才能完成工作。
* stay 停留,暂住
e.g. Are you staying long?
你逗留的时间长吗?
Which hotel are you staying in?
你住在哪家旅馆?
注意:
stay为不及物动词,所以在第二个例句中一定要接介词in ,这样才能带宾
语。
* unfortunately 令人遗憾,运气不好地
e.g. Unfortunately, I can only stay for a week.
真遗憾,我只能呆一周。
