متن پادکست
Hello everyone and welcome back to another lesson. My name is Marco and my name is Katherine and today we’re talking about a topic very close to my heart, music. That’s right we’re
going to be talking about music and more specifically we are going to talk about musical instruments that you would use in a band. Alright and so some people like to make their own music,
get together, hang out, play music together so that’s what we’re talking about today.
We’ve got a new band that’s going to start and before we get going we’ve got a word to talk about and let’s check this out in today’s vocabulary preview.
Vocabulary preview. Alright so as I mentioned we are going to talk about instruments. Instruments so you could say musical instruments but what is an instrument generally speaking? Basically it’s similar to a tool, right? So an instrument is something that you use to help you realize
a task. In this case musical instruments is more specific, right? Right so we’re talking about things that you use to make music. A piano for example. Is a musical instrument.
Or the drums. Alright so this is what we’re going to be looking at today in the dialogues so let’s listen to it for the first time. I’m forming a music band. Do you already know
how to play an instrument? Uh yeah I told you a thousand times that I’m learning to play the drums. Now that I know how to play well I would like to form a rock band. Aside from
yourself who are the other members of the band? We have a guy who plays guitar and another who plays bass although we still haven’t found anyone to be our singer. You told me
that you had some musical talent right? Yes I’m a singer. Perfect so you can audition this weekend here at my house. Great. Wait here? You don’t have enough room for the
amplifiers, microphones or even your drums. By the way where do you keep them or practice?
Dude what are you talking about? It’s right here. All we need is my Nintendo Wii and we’re set. Alright we’re back so apparently the band wasn’t really a real band. It wasn’t
but I have to say I’m very familiar with this because I have a Nintendo Wii and I often play the game rock bands so I can sympathize with the characters here. So you also have
your own band? I do well. Virtually speaking and I know you do too. I do too. That’s right we are both fans of this game and this gaming console and that’s why it’s such a fun dialogue.
But let’s take a look at some of the language that was used in this dialogue in Language Takeaway. Oh man so I’ve been in a lot of bands and I’ve been in a lot of musical groups
so I can say that the first instrument we want to talk about is maybe the most obnoxious, the most loud and hard to listen to. Probably and that instrument is the drums. So the drums
it’s plural because you have many drums right? You don’t just have the drum, the bass drum you have many different drums together and so we could also call this a drum set. Alright
so why don’t we listen to an example of what a drum set sounds like.
Alright we’re back so I think that’s clear moving on to our next instrument. This one’s maybe the most popular for young people to start because you can play pretty much anything
with it and it’s also good for sing-alongs. Right and that instrument is the guitar. Can you play the guitar? No I can’t. I actually wish I would have learned but I never got
around to it. Well this is a really beautiful instrument and there are many different ways to play it but generally it’s either wooden with some strings or electric so it’s plastic
with some metal strings. Right exactly so they have a different sound but why don’t we listen to an example of what a guitar sounds like.
Alright so great example of a guitar pretty clear. What’s our next instrument? The bass and this one it doesn’t look like the word that’s written. B-A-S-S so we say bass. And
it’s actually very low instrument it’s usually used to help keep the rhythm. Alright so it’s similar to a guitar right? Very. It’s the same form but as you say it’s lower and it
makes a lower sound. Exactly. Alright so let’s listen to an example of a bass now.
Alright pretty clear. Moving on to our next word we have an amplifier. Okay so an amplifier is a thing it’s usually a box that we plug in it’s electric or it’s electronic and it’s
a tool to make electrical instruments like the electric guitar or the electric bass louder.
Right exactly so an amplifier is any device that makes a sound become louder. Exactly.
Alright. So this is really important for rock bands the world over. Very good. Our next instrument or actually more of a tool is very useful for the singer. Yeah and it actually
goes with the amplifier in many ways because the microphone this is our next word the microphone is something that you use to sing into to make your voice louder. So right now Marco
you and I are both using microphones. Exactly so a microphone. Very good and we have one last word and this is a verb to audition. Alright to audition so to audition means to
show someone your talent alright so often times when you start a play or an opera or a musical group you want to have auditions you want to audition people to see how much
talent they have. Alright so it’s basically an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and abilities. Exactly. So a job interview wouldn’t really be an audition. No a job interview has its own its own word but here we’re talking about your singing ability your
acting ability your reading ability and sometimes we even have auditions here at at English Pod to see how people how comfortable people are on the microphone it’s a way to to have
people show what they’ve got. Very good alright so a lot of interesting words here many instruments I think it’s time for us to listen to our dialogue again we’re going to slow it down
a little bit and we’ll be right back. I’m forming a music band. Do you already know how to play an instrument? Yeah I told you a thousand times that I’m learning to play
the drums now that know how to play well I would like to form a rock band. Aside from yourself who are the other members of the band? We have a guy who plays guitar and another
who plays bass although we still haven’t found anyone to be our singer you told me that you had some musical talent right? Yes I’m a singer. Perfect so you can audition this weekend
here at my house. Great wait here you don’t have enough room for the amplifiers microphones or even your drums. By the way where do you keep them or practice? Dude what are you talking
about it’s right here all we need is my Nintendo Wii and we’re set. Alright we’re back so moving on with our lesson why don’t we take a look now at some phrases in Fluency Builder. Fluency
Builder. Alright so on Fluency Builder we have four phrases what’s the first one? Well this first phrase is really important Marco because we’re talking about bands and starting
bands and so there’s often a phrase we use to describe this we say to form a band. Alright so you form a band. It’s like forming something to form is to shape it to make it look like
something that you want and so we can form artistic projects also but here we’re forming a band we’re choosing people to bring together to make great music. Alright so we can say
form a band or you can say as well start a band. Yeah. Alright so we’re forming a band and well his friend was surprised that the other guy knew how to play an instrument so
he said I’ve told you a thousand times. Wait so he told him one thousand times. No not literally. I play an instrument. Right this is a phrase and it’s a little bit of an exaggeration
to emphasize that I’ve told you many many times already. Great so this is something we say when we’re trying to exaggerate like Marco said or to really emphasize the point
that like I’ve told you this before. Right. So mothers often use it. I feel like we talk about mothers a lot here. Mothers often use this phrase when kids do something wrong and
say I’ve told you a thousand times not to wear your shoes in the house. Exactly so it is a great phrase to really make your point that you’ve said something many many times.
Moving on we have a kind of like a conjunction that you can use and it’s by the way to change the topic maybe by the way by the way and so by the way we keep these words together
it’s a fixed phrase by the way is something we add on so I say you know today I went to school and I saw a lot of people. Oh by the way John says hi. Alright so while I’m talking
about this I want to add that this thing happened or that this person said something. Exactly So it is it’s a conjunction right to to put together two different ideas by the way or
you can start off your sentence with it by the way how is the new house. No because it’s like it’s like saying oh this thought just came into my head by the way. Right. Right.
And our last phrase on Fluency Builder is we are set. Alright all we need is my Nintendo we and we are set. Alright so what do we set we are set. Alright we are set as another
one of those phrases it’s fixed and it literally it means and we are ready to start we’re ready to go. And everything is is ready. Yeah we don’t need anything else and so Marco I could
say to you just bring just bring the salad to the table and we’re set we’re ready to eat. Alright and I think we’re set to listen to our dialogue for the last time and we’ll
be right back and talk a little bit more about this great topic.
I’m forming a music band. Do you already know how to play an instrument. Yeah I told you a thousand times that I’m learning to play the drums now that know how to play well I would
like to form a rock band. Aside from yourself who are the other members of the band. We have a guy who plays guitar and another who plays bass although we still haven’t found
anyone to be our singer. You told me that you had some musical talent right. Yes I’m a singer. Perfect so you can audition this weekend here at my house. Great wait here you
don’t have enough room for the amplifiers microphones or even your drums by the way where do you keep them or practice. Dude what are you talking about it’s right here all
we need is my Nintendo Wii and we’re set. Alright we’re back so rock band now I know that you play a real instrument not only instruments on the Wii. True. What do you play. I play
the trumpet I was classically trained I started when I was ten. Now is this the trumpet that has the three buttons on top. Three pistons three pistons because there’s another one that doesn’t
right. There’s one that has four pistons. It’s a piccolo trumpet has four and there’s one that’s large and it slides in and out and that’s a trombone that’s much lower. Right right. But the
trumpet is kind of a midrange instrument it can go quite high and a little bit low and it’s brass it’s not wood it’s made of a metal. Right it’s it looks like gold right. All right so you play
the trumpet did you play in a band or in a school or college. In high school middle school and high school I played in bands and orchestras and in college I played in orchestra and I’ve also played
in rock bands because sometimes people want to you know have a trumpet in the background. Have a trumpet and go a little crazy. Nice interesting this is interesting because I’m sure a lot of our users
out there actually play instruments and maybe a lot of them are also good at it play any instruments or maybe some strange instruments like the xylophone. Or if you like to play Wii rock band
because we certainly do and we can we can support you on that one. We can give you some tips. Yeah.
All right so we’ll see you guys there until next time. Bye everyone. Bye.
