Welcome to EnglishPod! My name is Marko. Amira: I'm Amira. M: And today we are gonna bring you a very useful lesson about being sick. A: Yeah, we are going to learn how to tell your boss that you can’t go to work because you are sick. M: Exactly, this is really important, because we all get sick. And sometimes you can’t go to work. A: And maybe sometimes, you don’t want to go to work. M: It’s likely. Maybe we are lying. But we are gonna teaching you how to do it anyway. A: Before we start out dialogue, let’s take a look at Vocabulary Preview. Calling in Sick 请病假 Vocabulary Preview -In this Vocabulary Preview, we have 2 words for you. The first one is “ quite ill ”. -quite ill. [3 times] -so “quite ill”—— -“very sick”. -So “quite” is similarly “very”？ -Exactly. -“ill”—— -“sick”. -So they both mean the same thing, no difference? -No difference at all. I just think “ill” is more common in British English. -Exactly, alright. Let’s look at our secondary word. -“flu”. -“ the flu ”. -So the flu is a virus. -Yeah, it’s a sickness. -And it’s very similar to a cold. -Yeah, but just a lot worse. -It’s stronger. -Yeah. It’s also called influenza . -Influenza. Exactly. -So the flu. Ok, so let’s listen to the dialogue and hear what’s gonna happening next. -We’ll going to listen Julia calls her boss to tell him she is sick. -Alright, but is she really sick? I don’t know. Let’s find out. 12 Dialogue 对话 -Hello, Daniel’s speaking. May I help you? -Hi, Daniel. Julia here. -Hi, Julia. How are you? -Actually, I’m feeling quite ill today. -Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. What’s wrong? - I think I’m coming down with the flu. I have a headache. I have a sore throat. I’m running nose. I’m feeling slightly feverish. -So you are calling in sick . -Yes, I was hoping to take the day off to recover. -OK. Trying get some rests. -Alright, so Julia didn’t really seem to be sick. Hum? -Yeah, I don’t know. That cough is a little too much. -It seems that she was acting. Yeah. Alright, so let’s look at some Vocabulary and Language take away Language take away -We have 5 words for you here. And these are all great words to describe the sickness, right? -Alright, the first one— headache . -headache. -So when you have a headache, you have A sore head. -Your head hurts. -So it’s pretty simple. -You have a headache. -It’s the way you feel after being a bar too late. -Yeah, when you drink too much, you get a headache. -Alright, let’s look at the next word: sore throat . -So basically we have two words here. Let’s look at the first word” sore”. -Hurting -It hurts. -And “throat” is—— -It is the part right here. Right the back …You can see. It’s the part at the back of your mouth -that goes down to your stomach. -Alright. That’s your throat. So you use your throat to swallow. -We can use the word “sore” with different body parts. -Like a sore back. Or maybe you are playing tennis once a week, and you have a sore arm. -Or even sore leg. -Ur-hum. -So the word ”sore”. Let’s look at the third word " running nose” . -running nose -this is a very strange words, but it doesn’t mean your nose is running, right? -No, but ok, when you have a running nose, there’s lots of water coming out of your nose, right? -So It’s interesting. Because when you run, you go fast, right? -So lots of water is coming fast out of your nose. -running nose -OK, our fourth word is “ slightly feverish ”. -slightly feverish -So, slightly is—— - a little bit -feverish—— -well, let’s break this word down. We know “fever”, right? So when you have a fever, your body is very very hot, because you are sick. So feverish is the feeling of your body——being very very hot. -So you have a high temperature. -It’s not you have a high temperature, butyou feel like you have a high temperature. -Ok, so slightly feverish. -And our last word” to recover ”. -Recover -So this means to get better right? -Exactly. Can you only use when you’re sick? -So when you recover, you get better and you rest. So maybe you can say ”I was so busy this week. I need to recover this weekends.” -So if you feel tired, if you feel sick, you can recover. -Ok, let’s listen to the dialogue again. And we can listen to these words that we’ve just talked about. -Hello, Daniel’s speaking. May I help you? -Hi, Daniel. Julia here. -hi, Julia. How are you? -Actually, I’m feeling quite ill today. -oh, I’m sorry to hear that. What’s wrong? - I think I’m coming down with the flu. I have a headache. I have a sore throat. I’m running nose. I’m feeling slightly feverish. -So you are calling in sick. -Yes, I was hoping to take the day off to recover. -Ok. Trying get some rests. -In this dialogue, we listened to some really interesting phrases of how you can tell your boss you are feeling sick. -Yeah, some great phrases. So let’s look at these and fluency builder? Fluency builder -Ok, let’s look at our first phrase and fluency billada. -I’m coming down with. -Alright, so let’s listen some examples and then we’ll come back and explain the phrases. Example 1 “My throat really hurts. I think it’s coming down with the cold.” Example 2 “You have a running nose. Are you coming down with the flu?” Example 3 “I am Feale. I think I am coming down with something. ” -OK, so basically, “coming down with " means " starting to get sick” . -I’m beginning to feel sick. So you can use a way I’m coming down with the flu.” -I’m coming down with the cough. -I’m coming down with the cold. -Or I’m coming down with sth. Yeah, something, you don’t what it is. -Exactly. -The secondary phrase “ calling in sick ”! -So this phrase is great! -You know, when you say “calling in sick”, you say ” Hey, I’m not going to come to work today because I’m sick. ” -So, literally, it means you call your office, you say you are not going to work. -Yes, but it’s great because it’s 3 words that show such a long idea. -Right. Otherwise, you would have to say” I’m calling because I don’t feel well. So I am not gonna work.” -But if you say I’m calling in sick, everyone knows, everyone understands -That you are not gonna work. -Yes. -Ok, now let’s look at the last phrase “ take the day off ”. -This’s a great phrase. “To take the day off” is to -Not go to work -On that day -Yes. You can say take the week off, take the month off. -Take the month off or take the year off. -If you are so lucky! -Alright, so take the day off means not to work on that day. -Alright, let’s listen to the dialogue again now and then we’ll come back and talk a little bit more. -Hello, Daniel’s speaking. May I help you? -Hi, Daniel. Julia here. -hi, Julia. How are you? -Actually, I’m feeling quite ill today. -oh, I’m sorry to hear that. What’s wrong? - I think I’m coming down with flu. I have a headache. I have a sore throat. I’m running nose. I’m feeling slightly feverish. -So you are calling in sick. -Yes, I was hoping to take the day off to recover. -ok. Trying get some rests. -Oh, Marko, have you ever done what Jolia did? Did you call your boss to say you’re sick when you are not really? -Yeah, of course. I mean, sometimes, you don’t feel very well. You are not sick. You are just not very well. You just don’t feel like going to work, or sometimes, you have something to do, right? -We call those in Canada; we call them “personal day”. -So you say “Oh, I’m take a personal day”. I’m in sick and go shopping. -We used to do that a lot, because for example, soccer games are such a big deal. -Oh, yeah. -You know sometimes, you would have a soccer match between our notion and Brazil . And it would be maybe 10 a.m. or 11 a.m. So everyone would call in sick on that day. -So the boss at least could plan that he would have an empty office. -Yeah. -Or sometimes you would take the half day off. -So you’ll just go, say “I’m not going in the morning but coming in the afternoon”. -So you would recover very quickly. -Yeah. -I’m feeling a little bit sick, but I’m going to be better in the afternoon. -Alright, so, well, if you have any questions or comments, please come to our website. And if you have any calling in sick stories, please let us know. -Yes, you can visit us at Englishpod.com. and, Marko and I are always there to answer your questions. -So see you next time!

在英语学习的过程当中必不可少的一个环节就是英语预料的大量输入。很多朋友在使用英文的时候会出现很多表达不准确或是错误的地方，其中的一个原因就是正确的语料输入太少。大量的听和读不仅可以帮助我们巩固之前学过的那些表达，更重要的是可以帮助我们了解英文表达的套路，培养所谓的“语感”。在学习的过程当中，一是可以选择大量地去阅读，各种题材的文章都行。当然如果觉得阅读太累人还可以选择去听，其中podcast就是一个很不错的资源。如果是iPhone，那么手机上有一个自带的播客的app，在里面就能找到各种各样的podcast，简直是居家旅行学习的不二伴侣。今天我就要给大家推荐一些我常听的podcast。这些podcast并不适合英语的初学者，有一定的英语学习基础的朋友们食用更佳哦！一、 Cults这是我非常喜欢的一个podcast，里面讲述关于邪教的各种故事，包括邪教头目的背景，邪教是如何发展起来以及最后是如何被端掉的。听完了这些邪教头目的成长经历，真是再一次地验证那句话，养孩子真是太不容易了，一不小心可能就养废了。节目定期更新，一个邪教分为上下集两次更完。节目当中总结出了一点就是这些头子都挺自恋的，自恋的各位，呵呵呵哒了。只不过有时候的内容描述过于详细，让人会觉得不舒服，正如节目中提醒的那样，some people may find it offensive。总之是散步、赶路的好伴侣。二、 Historical Figures这是一个讲述各种著名历史人物的podcast，例如维多利亚女王，弗洛伊德等等。我把它当作野史来听。虽然这个故事性比cult是要少吸引人那么一点点，但总体来说感觉八卦性还挺强的。主持人也是cults当中的那些，听着声音真是非常亲切了。也是因为这个podcast我才知道原来佛洛依德会说那么多的语言，孔子成长的过程当中他爹竟然没有参与，丧偶式育儿有木有！最新的一期里面谈论了关于孔子的二三事。其中外国人讲中文真是很魔性了！三、Unsolved Murders True Crime Stories这一个讲述的是那些没有解决的犯罪故事，故事都是真实的，很刺激有木有！每次听这些题材的东西感觉就是在听侦探故事，相当扣人心弦，我都有一种想要跳槽去当侦探的想法了！而且这个节目不光是主持人在那边逼逼，还有场景还原，那背景音乐，深夜时分，独自一人时听着还是有点可怕的。但是，内容真的是很棒，扣人心悬，听了之后才会发现，原来这世界上的变态竟然这么多！女性真的要加强自我保护意识啊！四、Haunted Places这个podcast讲的就是闹鬼的地方。节目中搜集了世界上一些闹鬼的地方，介绍了这些地方背后的故事，哎呀，这可不是什么鬼神的浪漫传说，还是挺可怕的，再加上诡异的背景音乐……特别适合好奇心重的你！喜欢就点个赞吧！
