Hello and welcome!
"Speak American English with Lyman Holton"
My name is Lyman Holton.
Today we're going to have a conversation between two people at their workplace.
One of them has a problem with his car...
and he needs a ride to work tomorrow morning.
So, two people are going to have a conversation...
on how that will work out.
Also, I'd like to mention that this is video number 10.
How exciting!
I only have 990 more to make...
well, after I finish this one in a few minutes,
to be at number 1000.
My goodness, the first 10 have certainly flown by.
Humm!
Let's begin.
Repeat everything I say for Lyman and Kelly.
Lyman, I have a bit of a problem. Can I ask you for a favor?
Sure, Kelly. What do you need?
Well, my car is in the garage for repairs.
Oh, that's too bad. Nothing too expensive, I hope?
No, it's not. But, I won't have it back until tomorrow afternoon.
Oh, I see. So, do you need a ride to work in the morning?
Yes. Would you mind picking me up on your way in to work tomorrow?
No, I don't mind at all, Kelly! I'd be happy to.
Thanks, Lyman. That is so nice of you.
It's no problem. I'll swing by and pick you up at 7.
That's perfect! I'll spring for lunch tomorrow.
Okay. By the way, how are you getting home tonight?
The repair shop is sending a man to give me a ride.
Really? Well, it sounds like they take good care of their customers.
Yes. I've been doing business with them for years.
Do you need a ride to pick up your car tomorrow afternoon?
No, but thanks for asking. They're going to drive the car here.
Wow! That is good service.
Yes. I just wish they could drive me to work in the morning too.
Ah, don't worry about that. That's what you have friends for.
Let's begin our first conversation
You, speak out loud as Kelly.
Just listen when Lyman speaks.
