This is Lesson Three. Jake meets Roger Ward at the studio. The Mystery of who's been trying to sabotage WEFL is finally solved. Listen for the verb get. You will hear it only once. What is the complete sentence in which get is used? Listen carefully for this sentence. 

2.情景

Hello, Roger.  Jake. What are you doing here? How's the story coming? I think your viewers will like it.  So do I... I'm surprised at you, Roger.  What do you meam?  I don't get it. You were always good at whatever you did. Why would you ruin a good career to go to work for Thomas Ames?  I don't know what you're talking about. 
OK. What is the sentence in which the verb get is used?  I don't get it.  To get as used in the sentence "I don't get it" means about the same as to understand: I don't understand it. Let's practice this special use of get.
You hear... I don't understand it.  And you say ... I don't get it.  You hear ...She understood every word he said.  And you say ...She got every word he said.    Ready? Here we go.

What took you so long?  I thought you were my  Friend.    You were never good at... judging who your friends really were.  I believed in you ...When we were in college and no one would give you a chance, I did. I helped you. I cared. but  why would  you do this to me? I didn't mean to hurt anyone, Jake.

Welcome to Lesson Four.
Listen to
part of the conversation
between Detective Modine and Mike.
They're talking about
how Mike discovered
that Roger had sabotaged
the editing room
at the station.
Notice how they use the words
but, so, and and.

I discovered Roger did it,
but I didn't know how.
I discovered it this morning,
so I called you
right away.
Mike, help me out.
I can't understand the technology,
and I can't take a course.


Now listen and repeat.

and I can't take a course.   


    Notice    ;    join...;  two affirmative or two negative sentences ;looked at ...  ;  the toggle switch,

join...to..; either..or..

Notice how the word
and
joins two affirmative
or two negative sentences.
For example . . .
I looked at the toggle switch,
and I remembered
it was new
I can't understand the technology,
and I can't take a course.
Also notice how but
joins a negative
and an affirmative sentence.
For example . .
.I discovered Roger did it,
but I didn't know why.   
Now you're going
to hear two sentences.
Join the two sentences
to make one sentence
,using either and or but.
For example,
you hear. .
.Mike knew
why he did it.
He knew
how he did it.
And you say. . . 
Mike knew
why he did it,
and he knew
how he did it.
Or you hear. . .
He wants
to tell Modine.
Hedoesn't
want Roger to hear.
And you say. . .
He wants
to tell Modine,
but he doesn't
want Roger to hear. 
All right. Let's begin.


Mike knew
why he did it.
He knew
how he did it.
Mike knew
why he did it,
and he knew

Jake has interviews to do,
and he has reports to write.

Steven has a wife and a son.
He doesn't have a daughter.
Steven has a wife and a son,
but he doesn't have a daughter.


Now, do you remember
what Mike said to Detective Modine
about his discovery
in the control room? 
I discovered it this morning,
so I called you right away.


Notice how the word
so
introduces a result clause.
For example. .
.I was tired,
so I went to bed.
In other words,
"I went to bed"
is the result of
"I was tired.
Now you're going
to hear two sentences.
This time the second sentence
may show either a contrast
or a result.
If there is a contrast,
join the two sentences
using the word but.
If there is a result,
join them using
so.
For example,
you hear. . .
I looked everywhere.
I couldn't find anything.
And you say. . .
I looked everywhere,
but I couldn't find anything.
Or you hear. .
She was hungry.
She ate a sandwich.
And you say. . .
She was hungry,
so she ate a sandwich.
OK? Let's begin.

2、

had better  ;    had better not  ;    worried about ;  work on ; get caught. ;



Now listen to this
talk about Detective Modine.
Notice when the words
had better and had better not
are used.


Everyone at WEFL
is worried about
the mysterious problems
at the station.
Detective Modine is working
on the case.
He'd better
find the criminal soon.
The criminal had better
be careful
if he doesn't want

Detective Modine knows
that  he'd better
not try to solve the mystery alone-
he needs help
from the staff at WEFL.
He especially needs Mike's help
to understand the technology.
Detective Modine has one parking ticket already.
He'd better not get another one.


Now listen and repeat.

try to solve the mystery alone.


had better  ;    had better not  ;  make a statement


Notice that
had better
and had better not
are used
to express strong advice
or to give a warning.
Now you're going
to hear a statement
about someone and the situation
he or she is in.
You make a statement
that gives advice,
using either had better or had better not.
For example,
you hear.. .
Detective Modine wants
to find the criminal soon.
And you say. . .
He'd better
find him soon.
Or you hear. .
.He's trying to
solve the mystery alone.
And you say. .
.He'd better
not try to solve it alone.
All right? Let's begin.

He'd better find him soon.

He's trying
to solve the mystery alone.

take a long vacation,
or he'll get sick.


Now to end this lesson,
listen to  the following talk.
Notice the different ways
people show
that they realize a fact.


It occurred to sb that....

When I came downstairs
this morning,
I realized
something had changed
. It occurred to me
that something was different.
All at once,
I realized
the truth of the matter.
I suddenly understood
what had happened.
My wife had gotten up
during the night
and had rearranged all the furniture.


Now listen and repeat.

I realized....;      It occurred to me that something was different.

    I realized the truth of the matter.
    I realized

what had happened
    I suddenly understood

Now you're going to hear a cue word
--either occurred or realized
and a statement
about what someone knew.
Use the cue word
and the statement
to make a new sentence
about how that person
suddenly realized
something was true.
For example,
you hear . . .
Occurred . . .
Chris knew
she had made a mistake.
And you say. . .
It occurred to Chris
