    PART III -The Lesson
    MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO MEET A FRIEND
    與一位朋友約會
    1.FINDING OUT IF YOUR FRIEND IS FREE
    問對方是否有空
    a) Are you free (next weekend/this evening/ect.)?
    - Yes,I am.
    - No,I've got something on,I'm afraid.
    - Well,I'm tied up in the morning but I'm free in the afternoon.
    b) Are you doing anything(on the weekend /tonight /etc.)?
    - No,I'm not.
    - Yes,I've got something on then.
    - Well,I've got to do the shopping(on Saturday morning),but I'm not doing anything special(on Sunday).
    c) What're you doing(this evening/on Saturday/etc.)?
    - Nothing specail/at the moment.
    - I've got to go to my Aunt's place(on Saturday).
    d) Have you got anything on (on Sunday)?
    - No(I haven't).
    - I'm tied up all day,I'm afraid.
    注意:
    ●　非正式地提到將來的事情,特別是在社交活動中與人約會,一般用現(xiàn)在時(shí),尤其是現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí),例如:
    I'm doing the shopping on Saturday morning.
    ●　I've got something on on Sunday morning: on 用了兩次,在句中的作用不同: (a) 第一個(gè)on是這一句主要成分 I've got something on 的一部分; (b) 第二個(gè)on是表示時(shí)間的短語 on Sunday morning 的一部分。
    2. MAKING DETAILED ARRANGEMENTS
    具體安排約會
    a) 確定具體活動,具體地方
    Why don't we (go.../meet at.../visit/play.../have a party)? 用于非正式談話,提出建議.
    Have you ever been to...?用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),因?yàn)檫@是指 到現(xiàn)在為止過去整個(gè)時(shí)間內(nèi)發(fā)生過的事情,肯定的答復(fù)可以 是: Yes,I have.(不說具體時(shí)間)
    Yes,I went there last year.(用簡單過去時(shí) 具體時(shí)間)
    如果你知道你的朋友去過某地,可以用簡單過去時(shí)問問題, 例如:
    Where did you go?
    When did you to there?
    What did you do?
    What did you see?
    Did you see...?
    How long did you stay...?
    Let's (go to .../meet at ...)
    和對方商量到什么地方去,提出一個(gè)意見,為了征得對方同 意,可以用這個(gè)句式:Let's......的前面往往加Then或 Well
    b) 確定見面的地點(diǎn)和時(shí)間
    Where will I meet you?
    At my place/At the station/etc.
    What time?
    one o'clock/Three o'clock/etc.
    注意：
    ● 問句和答句往往不用完整句;
    ● 商量具體安排時(shí)常用will,但在此以前不常用will.在澳大利亞,提問時(shí)一般用will I,很少用shall I。
    CONVERSATIONAL DEVICES
    a) I'm afraid
    I'm afraid I'm tied up on Sunday.
    I'm tied up on Sunday,I'm afraid.
    I'm afraid 在這里沒有“我害怕”的意思，只是比較客氣地說明自己對某事感到遺憾、抱歉。這個(gè)短語在會話時(shí)常用。
    b) Well 有兩種用法：
    i)使說話的人有時(shí)間考慮如何回答，相當(dāng)于漢語里的“嗯”“ 嗯一”（參看Dialogue 1,Jane的第一句話。）
    ii)意思是：這樣說來；那么。（參看Dialogue 1,Anne的 最后一句話。）
    注意： Oh well...的意思同（ii），但通常有對目前情況認(rèn)
    可，表示愿意接受的含意。
    PRONUNCIATION CORNER
    注意聽廣播中的下面的句子，聽完廣播后再練習(xí)：
    凡問句的疑問詞以Wh開頭的，此問句用降調(diào)。
    When did he go?
    Where will we meet?
    PART IV - Exercises
    1. 問你的朋友Part III第一點(diǎn)里的問題，請對方按照實(shí)際情 況回答，然后由你朋友問，你回答。
    2. 和你朋友一起朗讀開頭的三小段對話，模仿播音員的節(jié)奏 和語調(diào)。問和答由你和你朋友交替進(jìn)行。
