thank you
let's start the episode remember
with three-way english i will tell you a
story three different ways
first in a very basic simple way
and then twice more with increasing
difficulty the idea is to help you learn
english grammar and vocabulary in
context
the first time through i will use simple
present tense
only i will use simple sentence
structures and speak slowly
with no contractions today's
story is the chicken and the fox
one evening a chicken rests in a tree
as she sits a fox comes along
and stands at the bottom he asks
if the chicken knows the news the
chicken says
she does not the fox explains
that all the animals now agree
to forget their differences and live in
peace
he asks the chicken to come down
to celebrate with him the chicken agrees
to come down but as she says
this she stands up and looks off into
the distance
the fox asks her what it is she sees
she tells him it's a couple of dogs
they must know the good news and want to
celebrate
the fox does not listen any further
he starts to run off at once
the chicken asks him why he runs off
since the dogs are now his friends the
fox
says perhaps they do not yet know
the news and he also has a very
important errand
to run as he runs away the chicken
smiles to herself and goes back
to sleep okay now let's do the story a
second
time through this time i will introduce
different verb tenses such as the temple
past
i will use some different vocabulary and
sentence
structures and i will speak a little
faster
than the first time through one bright
evening
a wise old chicken flew into a tree
to rest as she settled in
on her branch a fox came along
and stood at the bottom looking up at
her
he asked if she had heard the news yet
of course she had not heard so
the fox explained that the animals had
all
agreed to forget their differences and
live
in peace and friendship together he
encouraged the chicken
to come down to embrace him and
celebrate
while agreeing to come down the chicken
gazed into the distance as if
she was seeing something approach when
asked what she was looking at she
replied that it was a couple of
dogs they must also want to celebrate
the good news without listening to a
word
more the fox began to run off the
chicken
asked him where he was going since all
the animals were friends now
but the fox only replied that perhaps
the dogs had
not yet heard the news and anyway
he had a very important errand to run
as the fox ran off the chicken smiled to
herself
and went back to sleep grateful to have
outwitted
a cunning enemy now you know the story
so i'm going to do it one more time
this time at native level speed
and with more advanced vocabulary
and sentence structures
one bright evening as the sun was
sinking
a wise old chicken flew into a tree to
roost
but just as she was settling in on her
branch
along came a fox who stood at the bottom
of the tree
peering up at her have you heard the
wonderful
news he cried in a joyful manner
what news she asked your family and mine
and all the other animals have agreed to
forget their differences
and live and peace and friendship
together
isn't it great come on down dear friend
and let us celebrate together how
delightful she said
but she spoke in an absent-minded way
and craned her neck as if looking at
something far off in the distance
what is it you see asked the fox
suspiciously
why it's only a couple of dogs coming up
she explained they must have heard the
good news
at this the fox bounded off at once
where are you going she called after him
oh
perhaps these fellows haven't heard the
news he cried over his shoulder
and besides i have an important errand
to run that
i just remembered the chicken smiled to
herself
as she buried her head and her feathers
and went to sleep
for she had outwitted a crafty
adversary now the moral of this
story is that the trickster can also
be the tricked
