ORTA DİNLEME
Josh: Hey, I hear you and Stephanie are really getting serious.
Michael: Yeah, and I think she’ll be impressed with my new exercise program.
Josh: What? What are you talking about? What exercise program? What did you tell her?
Michael: Well, you know, I enjoy staying in shape. [Right] First, I generally get up every morning at 5:30 a.m.
Josh: Oh, yeah. Since when? You don’t roll out of bed until at least 7:30 p.m.
Michael: No, no, and on Mondays and Wednesdays, . . .
Josh: Ah, it’s not another tall tale . . .
Michael: I almost always go jogging for about [a] half hour, you know, to improve my endurance.
Josh: Hey, jogging to the refrigerator for a glass of milk doesn’t count.
Michael: Of course, before I leave, I usually make sure I do some stretches so I don’t pull a muscle on my run.
Josh: Right. One jumping jack.
Michael: Then, I told her that I usually lift weights Tuesdays and Thursdays for about an hour after work.
Josh: Humph.
Michael: This helps me build muscle strength.
Josh: Hmm, a one-pound barbell.
Michael: Oh, no . . . Finally, I often go jogging on Saturdays with my dog [What dog!?], well, and I like hiking because it helps me burn off stress and reduce anxiety that builds up during the week.
Josh: Oh yeah, those lies.
Michael: Well, uh, as for Fridays, I sometimes just relax at home by watching a movie or inviting you over to visit.
Josh: If I buy the pizza.
Michael: But . . . bu . . . And on Sundays, I take the day off from exercising, but I usually take my dog for a walk.
Josh: Forget it. She’ll never buy this story.
Woman: James, JAMES! Wake up!
Man: What? Why did you wake me up?
Woman: It is 2:00 in the afternoon.
Man: Only 2.00? I’m going back to bed.
Woman: No, you have to get up. You will be late for that class again.
Man: Ah, can’t you just take notes for me again?
Woman: No, I did that last time, and I am not doing that again. You need to get more sleep and get into a better routine.
Man: Routine? Like what?
Woman: Yeah. You should get up no later than 6:30.
Man: 6:30?
Woman: That gives you plenty of time for a 30-minute workout.
Man: You (‘ve) got to be joking! No way. And I already exercised. I turn off the alarm clock, and it takes a lot of strength and endurance to get up at that unspeakable hour.
Woman: You need to get to bed no later than 9:00.
Man: Ni . . . . Nine?
Woman: Yes, you need at least eight hours of sleep . . . . that’s what science says. and sleeping in class does NOT count. Going to bed at 3:00 in the morning is a terrible way to live. I mean, how many hours do you even get?
Man: Well, wait. I get about five hours . . . wait, wait, well? Four hours [ If you’re generous ], or, or, or . . . . well, sometimes, three, but I do better on less sleep. And I don’t want to sleep my life away.
Woman: No, this is unbelievable. You need sleep; caffeine isn’t an acceptable substitute. I have seen you fall asleep while driving . . . James, James. Do NOT fall asleep while I’m talking to you.
Man: I’m not. I’m just resting my eyes.
Woman: Oh, oh, fine, fine. Yo . . . You fail that class . . . see if I care.
Daughter: Guess what, Mom. I got it.
Mother: Great. That’s super.
Father: What’s going on? So, what did you get me?
Daughter: Nothing. I got my driver’s license. Okay. Bye.
Father: Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?
Daughter: Mom said I could take the car to school this morning, and . . .
Father: Hold on here. I’ve prepared a few rules regarding the use of motor vehicles in this house.
Daughter: Like what?
Father: Let me get my notes here.
Daughter: Dad! That looks like a book? Mom, Dad’s being mean to me.
Father: Okay, let me get my reading glasses here. Okay, here we are. Rule number one: No driving with friends for the first six months.
Daughter: What?
Father: Teenagers often lack the judgment to drive responsibly, especially when several teenagers are involved. I mean they speed, they joyride, they cruise around town way past midnight.
Daughter: But that’s not me! Do I really need this lecture? This is such a drag!
Father: Furthermore, who really needs a car when a pair of shoes will work? I mean, life was different when I was your age. In fact, I used to walk to school . . .
Daughter: Yeah, yeah. I know. Both ways uphill in ten feet of snow. I’ve heard this story many times.
Father: Yeah. Oh, where were we? Oh yes. Rule number two: You always must wear your seat belt and obey the rules of the road.
Daughter: Duh. I wasn’t born yesterday.
Father: Okay, rule number three: You can’t drive long distances at night because you might get drowsy and drive off the road. But driving to the movie theater is fine.
Daughter: But the movie theater is right across the street from our house.
Father: Exactly, so you can just park in the driveway and walk there.
Daughter: Mom! Dad’s being unreasonable.
Father: And rule number four: You should never use a cell phone while driving. That could cause an accident.
Daughter: But YOU do.
Father: That’s different.
Daughter: How is it different? You even need my help to turn your cell phone on.
Father: And rule number five: Remember that I love you, and I’m just a protective father who wants his daughter to always be safe.
Daughter: Does that mean I can take the car now?
Father: Well, I don’t know.
Daughter: Please dad, please. You’re the best dad in the whole wide world.
Father: That’s not what you said earlier.
Daughter: Hey, having the car keys in my hands changes my whole perspective on life.
Father: Well, okay. I guess if I’m considered the best dad in the world for five minutes, then I’ll accept that.
Daughter: Yeah.
Father: Okay, but drive carefully and don’t forget to fill up the car with gas before you come home. [Bye. Love ya guys.] Okay. Hon, do you think I did the right thing?
Mother: Yeah. She has to grow up sometime.
Woman: Um, excuse me. Is this seat taken?
Man: It is now. Take a seat.
Woman: Uh, thanks. Um, I’ve been waiting for over two hours for the bus to come.
Man: Oh, yeah. The bus broke down about 50 miles back. Actually, the bus driver lost control of the bus when he spilt hot chocolate on himself, and then he tried to regain control of the bus and hit a rock and blew a tire.
Woman: Uh. Are you sure this bus is safe?
Man: I ain’t sure if it’s safe, but you can’t beat the price.
Woman: Umm . . . hmm . . . Well, um, where are you from?
Man: To tell ya [you] truth, I really don’t know.
Woman: Uh, what do you mean?
Man: Well, you see, I was adopted when I was a baby, and I was told that I was born in New York City, but I can’t be sure about that. Then, my new parents raised me in a small town in Texas. I’m sure you’ve never heard of it.
Woman: Uh, oh, where?
Man: Well, well . . . My parents, Fred and Norma, had a farm, and I grew up milking cows and herding sheep, and actually, I’m on my way to visit them now.
Woman: You’re going back to Texas?
Man: Oh no. They sold that farm years ago when they discovered oil on the property. They live on a ranch right outside of Las Vegas now. Beautiful place with a pool . . .
Woman: Las Vegas. Las Vegas? I thought this bus was heading to Chicago [Oh] . . in the opposite direction!
Man: Oh, no. You’re on the wrong bus.
Woman: I . . I’ve got to get off.
Man: Oh, no . . . relax. Spend a weekend with me and my parents on the ranch. I can teach you how to milk a cow or something like that.
Woman: I have to get off.
Man: Oh, well . . . Once this bus left the last station, it ain’t gonna stop until the next station . . . three hours from now. And, and, and . . . the driver got really upset when the last passenger made a same mistake. So, sit and relax. Let me tell you about the farm. I have plenty of stories.
Woman: Hey, Brandon. What are you doing?
Man: Oh, You’ll like this. It’s a new website that helps you improve your writing skills for free.
Woman: Really? Yeah. That’d be really helpful.
Man: Yeah and I’m signing up right now.
Woman: Wow. Let me see that.
Man: Yeah. It’s easy. You just enter your name, your birthday, your address, your bank information. [ What? ] Your credit card number.
Woman: Wait, wait, wait. [ What? ] I thought you said it was free.
Man: It IS free.
Woman: Then, why do they need your bank and your credit card information?
Man: Well, you know, it’s just, you know, just . . . just to check your identity or something like that. But it, but it’s all free. What?
Woman: [That] doesn’t sound free to me.
Man: Well, you don’t understand.
Woman: It sounds pretty fishy to me. How do you know that this is a trusted website. Look. That doesn’t look like a secure URL.
Man: Well, you don’t understand. Look. It says right here on their page. Right here: “Our goal is help you learn. Trusting us. We knows how to help you in 15 days or below.” What? What?
Woman: That’s terrible English. Who wrote this? What country are they in? You need to help THEM with their English. I mean, this is a sure sign that they’re trying to probably steal your personal information [No . . .] and your identity.
Man: No, no, no, and look. Here is a picture of some of their staff. And they look honest. Hey . . .
Woman: You are so gullible.
Man: Hey, hey. What are you doing?
Woman: I’m shutting down your computer. I can’t watch my own brother fall for a scam like this.
Man: Ah. You just don’t understand.
Narrator: Arches National Park is located in the dry desert of Southeastern Utah just north of the city of Moab. This park is home to over 2,000 natural arches carved from sandstone layers by wind, water, and erosion. Local and international visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of these natural wonders throughout the year. Some formations are just off the road and are accessible to all people within a short distance on well-traveled trails; other arches can only be reached by driving distances on four-wheel drive roads or after long strenuous hikes along sandy washes.
Like any hike of this nature, you should be prepared for the adventure in the desert:
First, hike with a partner for safety and leave word where you will be traveling in case of an emergency. Personally, I enjoy hiking with family members and close friends.
Second, carry a cellphone with you. However, keep in mind that you might not get any reception, so don’t depend on it.
Third, be sure to have the right clothing and footwear for the hike. Light, breathable clothing is best during the summer, along with a hat and sturdy hiking shoes.
Fourth, carry plenty of water because you can become quickly dehydrated without it. Having a few snacks can give you energy, too.
Fifth, take a small first-aid kit with you, particularly on longer hikes in case you get injured.
Sixth, pack a detailed map of the area you are hiking, along with a compass and/or a GPS to locate your position. You might need them to navigate through unfamiliar terrain.
And finally, take nothing home with you except for pictures and memories. You can protect these areas by leaving all rocks, flowers, and other objects for future visitors.
Teacher: Okay, Okay, let’s begin. Hello, everyone. My name’s Karl Roberts, and I’ll be your teacher for this class, Intercultural Communication 311.
To begin with, uh, please look at the syllabus in front of you. You should all have one by now, I think. This class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:50. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursday in room 405 during the last two months of the class.
Uh, this is the text for the class, Beyond Language. Unfortunately, the books haven’t come in yet, but I was told that you should be able buy them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again, as you see on your course outline, grading is determined by your work on a midterm and final test, periodic quizzes, uh, a research project, and classroom participation.
My office hours are from 1:00 to 2:00 on Wednesdays, and you can set up an appointment to meet with me at other times as well. Okay, let me explain a little bit more about the class and it’s objectives.
Randall: Hi Faith. Do you have a minute?
Faith: Sure. What’s up?
Randall: Well, I just wanted to go over the schedule for Wednesday’s orientation meeting to make sure everything is ready.
Faith: Okay. Here’s a copy of the tentative schedule. [Okay.] Now, the registration starts at eight thirty and goes until nine fifteen. [Alright.] Then, the orientation meeting will commence at nine thirty.
Randall: Okay. Now, we had planned originally for the meeting to go until ten thirty, but now we have someone from the international center coming to speak to the students on extracurricular activities, so how about ending the meeting around eleven?
Faith: Fine. And, uh, then students will take the placement tests from eleven fifteen until noon [Okay.], followed by twenty-minute break before lunch. [Okay.] And, immediately after lunch, we have reserved a campus shuttle to give students a forty-five-minute tour starting at one thirty. [Oh. Okay.] We want to show students around the university, including the union building, the library, and the student services building.
Randall: Great. Now, how about the oral interviews?
Faith: Well, we’re planning to start them at two fifteen.
Randall: Uh, well, teachers are going to be up to their ears in preparations, and they’ll be hard pressed to start then.
Faith: Okay, let’s get things rolling around two forty-five.
Randall: Okay, here, let me jot that down. Uh, could you grab a pen off my desk?
Faith: Right. Finding anything on your desk is like finding a needle in a hay stack. [Oh, it’s not that bad.] Here, use mine.
Randall: Okay. And we’ll need a hundred and fifty copies of this program guide by then.
Faith: Hey. That’s a tall order on such short notice! How about lending me a hand to put things together [Okay.] by this afternoon so we don’t have to worry about them?
Randall: Okay. And I think the manager has given the green light to go ahead and use the more expensive paper and binding for the guides this time.
Faith: Okay. So the interviews will go from two forty-five until, let’s say, four thirty. [Okay.] I hope we can wrap things up by five.
Randall: Great. I think the bottom line is to keep things running smoothly throughout the day.
Faith: I agree. I’ll pass this schedule by the director for a final look.
