Interpretation services are often available locally and details of where and how to access them are normally available from your local authority or Citizens Advice Bureau.Profesores del CUIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00795270667733794910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7007146144241937149.post-44217531739942048322011-09-14T12:09:00.000-07:002011-09-14T12:17:26.137-07:00How to pay a compliment - Como halagar o hacer un cumplido<div class="field field-type-text field-field-tapescript"><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="field-items"><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div class="field-item odd"><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="text-align: center;"><b><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/J20aSxYV330?hl=en&fs=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="425"></iframe><br /></b></p><p><b>Man:</b> Good morning!</p> <p><b>Woman:</b> Morning!</p> <p><b>Man:</b> By the way, I just wanted to say well done on clinching that deal!</p> <p><b>Woman:</b> Oh, thanks.

<br /></div><p><strong></strong></p> <p>Most of Britain’s population enjoys sport and leisure activities in one way or another, and whether as a participant or a spectator there are a whole host of activities to enjoy.</p> <p>In recent years the encouragement toward a more healthy lifestyle has led to more people taking up physical activity, whether to get fit or to keep fit. These activities can be found indoors at leisure, sporting and recreation centres and outdoors, at the many free publicly available playing fields and also at clubs and associations which are open to members or paying visitors. In any event there are plenty to choose from whatever your level of physical fitness.</p> <p>As with most countries many of the leisure activities in the UK are much more sedate. Whether as an individual or a team, a child, adult or family, most towns and cities have something for everyone.</p> </div> </div> </div>Profesores del CUIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00795270667733794910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7007146144241937149.post-74037316641867843352011-07-09T12:07:00.000-07:002011-07-09T12:09:33.477-07:00How to ask someone to repeat something<h1 style="text-align: center;" class="title">How to ask someone to repeat something</h1>Try out the various ways in asking people to repeat what they said.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6JHjzAdvQTs?hl=en&fs=1" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="425"></iframe><br /></div><br /><p><b>Man:</b> (Mumbling “Have you seen a green pen anywhere?”)</p> <p><b>Woman:</b> I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that.</p> <p><b>Man:</b> (Mumbling)</p> <p><b>Woman:</b> Could you say that again?</p> <p><b>Man:</b> (Mumbling “Green pen, see it anywhere?”)</p> <p><b>Woman:</b> I’m sorry…er I still didn’t get that.</p> <p><b>Man:</b> (Trying very hard but still mumbling)</p> <p><b>Woman:</b> Could you say that again?</p> <p><b>Man:</b> (slightly frustrated and mumbling again)</p> <p><b>Woman:</b> One more time?</p> <p><b>Man:</b> (Mumbling)</p> <p><b>Woman:</b> No. Sorry.
