第八周的課程
Dialogue
A: Could you do me a favor? 通常講這句只是一點小事才會用...
何謂大事？像借一萬塊那種應該就算大事吧！
B: Sure. What is it? 老師說We always just say "sure" first.
也就是說呢不管幫不幫得上，都會先說OK, 然後問完什麼事再決定

前一週的Going places翹課，無法寫Blog 
上上週主題為Understanding Easter 很好的主題，因為這能更了解西方文化
不過因為當天很想睡...老師又再講復活節的故事...我整個就在度辜了
所以只能紀錄一點實用的英文
What a dog! 是什麼意思呢！是不好的話...但卻很口語
Talking about someone who is ugly.
另外老師有提到一個他們對於單身男女相約的見解
If a guy offer a pick up a woman at her house, it would consider a date.
所以當你對對方沒有特別的意思，就可以說Hope to see you there.或Hope you can be there.
不過也不是完全的啦！還是得看兩人的交情.....
