Hello, boys and girls. Today I want to try adding some content, as some friends suggested that I interpretation of the course without Chinese,only in English. They want to practice their listening, pronunciation and intonation.  Earlier I recorded course languages in both English and Chinese. Now I have decided to record the same content only in English. I hope you will like it. First we will learn New Concept English Book 1, Lesson one ---Excuse me. We will divide it into eight parts to learn it. 

The video link is  http://m.video.1kejian.com/foreign/brand/2489/

The first part: Please watch the video. After the video, Please answer the question: "Whose handbag is it?"  Another, although somewhat stuffy, way to say this is : "To whom does this handbag belong?" 

Lesson one----Excuse me ! Yes? Is this your handbag? Pardon? Is this your handbag? Yes it is. Thank you very much. So now can you answer this question?   Whose handbag is it?  The answer is the woman's. 

The second part: How does one convert a statement in simple present tense into a question?

     For example: This is your handbag. It's simple present tense, if we want to convert it into a question. then we need to transpose the verb "is" and the subject "this". The period should be changed into a question mark at the end. The subject-verb order in a question is inverted.

     Do not advise your students to convert a statement to a question simply by adding a question mark. It is incorrect in standard English. In standard English, questions always use subject-verb inversion.

      In speech, Yes and No questions have a rising tone, a statement has a neutral or falling tone.

      For example Is this your coat?  Answers: Yes, it is mine . or No, it is not my coat. Mine is red.  Yes and No questions are rising tone. Except Yes-No questions , They all are falling tone. For example: Where is your coat? How did you tear your coat? When did you buy your coat?

     The intonations for some questions can be rising, falling or neutral. It depends on the situation, what the speaker is emphasizing and how they are feeling.

The third prat: The vocabulary in "Lesson one " includes ----- excuse me    pardon     handbag    thank you   very much. 

The fourth part: Language point

The first one: Excuse me 

      This form is often used to apologize to someone, when we want to attract the attention of other people, to disturb others, or interrupt others , usually you can use this expression. For example: To a stranger for directions, use another people's phone, squeeze through a group of others, in the middle of the banquet, or meeting, or to leave for a while and so on.

The second one: Yes?  

     We are going to use the word using a rising tone, said when someone is not sure or to ask, also contains the meaning of asking another person go on, please. Equivalent to the Chinese in the, Uh, What's the matter? What's wrong? 

The third one: Pardon?

     When we didn't hear or didn't understand the each other, and hope they can repeat it, you can use this expression. Pardon is the form of a thumbnail. Its complete sentence should be ---I beg your pardon? Can also be a simple statement when you want someone to excuse you: " I beg your pardon", and "pardon me,please". 

The fourth one: Thank you very much. 

     In life, if we want to thank anyone, we can also say so--- Thank you.     Thanks.     Thanks a lot. 

The fifth part     Learning English Numbers ( 1 to 10)

      1---one    2---two    3---there    4---four     5---five     6---six     7---seven     8---eight      9---nine       10---ten

The sixth part     words study

 watch           coat          coat and  skirt       dress5     skirt     casual dress       evening dress       shirt  

The seventh part     Grammar in use

       General questions----General questions according to its structure is divided into several kinds. Through the subject-predicate inversion can be with statements into general questions. Be is a general designation. Be verb includes---am, is, are, were, was, 

       Declarative sentence------- This is your watch.

       Interrogative sentence-------Is this your watch? 

       In this lesson, we learned the basic sentence pattern is a general question." Is this your ？" and it must answer "Yes, it is." 

Additional part:   

Normal sentence's structure:
S = Subject, V = Verb, O = Object.
He (s) likes (v) me (o) - Does he like me?
When it's in the present tense, "Does" is added before the main subject when it's a singular pronoun/noun - also removes the "s" from the main verb too, since "Does" has already been added, it's no longer necessary, just like in my example.
When it's a plural pronoun/noun:
They (s) do (v) it (o) - Do they do it? 
Add  "do" in front of the main pronoun and go on with the rest of the sentence normally.

The eighth part  Exercises-- Fill in the bracket, from each of the four options selected the right one.

     Today we have learned about New Concept English Book 1-- lesson one--Excuse me. I hope you practice more. It's best to recite the lesson one --excuse me. We learn the main structure "is this your...." and "yes, it is." To do more practice, it is better to speak out loud. The main goal is to enlarge (expand) our vocabulary.OK. That is all for today. Thank you very much, see you next time.
