Lesson Introduction: You never know when you’re going to fall in love. You also never know when you are going to get in a bike accident and need to say “I’m sorry”. In this podcast, learn a few new English phrases that you can use the next time you need to apologize for something.
A: Whoa, whoa, what’s going on? Watch out!
B: Hey, watch where you’re going!
A: Oh, no! I’m so sorry! Are you all right?
B: Oh...I don’t know.
A: I feel terrible, I really didn’t mean to knock you over. My tire, just exploded, and I lost control of my bike. Really, it was an accident. Please accept my apologies.
B: Just let me try to stand up.
SONG: Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near?
A: Are you okay?
B: Oh, wait a second, you seem really familiar, I think I know you from somewhere.
A: Yeah, I think we have met somewhere before. That’s right! We met at Aaron’s place last weekend! What a coincidence! But anyway,I’m glad to see that you’re not too badly hurt,and I should probably get going. I have a nine o’clock meeting.
B: Ouch! My ankle! I think it’s broken! You can’t just leave me like this! Are you calling an ambulance?
A: Nope, I’m canceling my appointment so that I can stay here with you.
