๐Ÿ’ฎSpeak, talk, say, tell๐Ÿ’ฎ

๐ŸงSAY

๐Ÿ”นWhen we use โ€˜sayโ€™, we do not use an object (e.g. me/them/you) immediately after the verb. 
๐Ÿ”นThe verb โ€˜sayโ€™ is used when we quote people directly and also when we give instructions.

๐ŸŸขFor example๐ŸŸข

๐Ÿ”ธAmelia said she would be back soon.
๐Ÿ”ธThe weatherman said it would rain today.

๐ŸงTELL

๐Ÿ”นWhen we use โ€˜tellโ€™, we also include the object (e.g. you/her/us) immediately after the verb. 
๐Ÿ”นThe verb โ€˜tellโ€™ is used when we say something to someone, and is commonly used when giving an order or instruction.

๐Ÿ”ดFor example๐Ÿ”ด

๐Ÿ”ธI told my son to brush his teeth.
๐Ÿ”ธThe teacher told the class to do their homework.

๐ŸงSPEAK

๐Ÿ”นWe use the verb โ€˜speakโ€™ (instead of โ€˜talkโ€™) when we are in a more formal situation and wish to emphasise that something is important.
๐Ÿ”นWhen โ€˜speakโ€™ is used as a noun (speech) it also takes on a more formal.

๐ŸŸฃFor example๐ŸŸฃ

๐Ÿ”ธWe need to speak about your attendance this term!โ€™ (stricter than โ€˜talk about
๐Ÿ”ธJohn will be speaking at an international conference next month.

๐ŸงTALK

๐Ÿ”นWe use the verb โ€˜talkโ€™ when we are in a more relaxed setting or when we are among friends in a conversational situation.
๐Ÿ”นYou can think of โ€˜talkโ€™ as a slightly more formal word for โ€˜chatโ€™.

๐ŸŸคFor example๐ŸŸค

๐Ÿ”นSorry, who were you talking to before I interrupted?
๐Ÿ”นI was talking with my mum the other day and we decided thatโ€ฆ

๐ŸŽงFrancesca: Hurry up! Come out of that fitting room so I can see how the dress shirt fits.

๐ŸŽงEddie: The first one didn't fit at all. The sleeves were too short and it was too form fitting. I like my shirts to be on the roomy side. I'm trying on the second one.

๐ŸŽงFrancesca: Come on, let me see. Okay, I think this one fits you pretty well. The collar is the right size, not too loose or tight. The cuffs on this one fall at just the right place, don't you think?

๐ŸŽงEddie: Yeah, it's fine.

๐ŸŽงFrancesca: Try on the T-shirts.

๐ŸŽงEddie: Okay, but I'm not trying on the fancy ones with a V-neck. I like my T- shirts the old-fashioned way with a crew neck.

๐ŸŽงFrancesca: All right, but try on the short- sleeve and the long-sleeve ones, too. Hurry up.

๐ŸŽงEddie: Hold on, I'm changing as fast as I can. Oh, geez. I've heard of oversized T- shirts, but this is ridiculous.

๐ŸŽงFrancesca: Let me see. You're right. You've got enough room in there for two people!

๐ŸŽ‘ Seeing a Dentist

๐ŸŽงDr. Chung: Hello, Luis, I'm Dr. Chung. You're here for a check-up and a cleaning, is that right?

๐ŸŽงLuis: Yes, that's right.

๐ŸŽงDr. Chung: Okay, let's take a look. Have you had your wisdom teeth taken out?

๐ŸŽงLuis: No, I haven't.

๐ŸŽงDr. Chung: Hmm You may need to do that soon. You've had a root canal?

๐ŸŽงLuis: Yes, about three years ago.

๐ŸŽงDr. Chung: Does that hurt?

๐ŸŽงLuis: Ow!

๐ŸŽงDr. Chung: I guess I hit a nerve. The bad news is that you may need another root canal soon. Let's see if you have any cavities. Oh, I think there's one here in your left molar. You'll need to come back for a filling. Are you experiencing any sensitivity?

๐ŸŽงLuis: Yes, I am!

๐ŸŽงDr. Chung: I'm not surprised. Your gums have receded and some of the root is showing. Do you use dental floss?

๐ŸŽงLuis: Um, yes.

๐ŸŽงDr. Chung: I'll have the dental hygienist show you how to brush and floss better so you can prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar. Any questions for me before the hygienist starts on your cleaning?

๐ŸŽงLuis: No, I'm just glad you didn't say I need dentures
Dr. chung: no, you don't. not yet.

โ€‹๐ŸŒธThe Hodge and the Crow

A Crow built her nest in a forest. It was on a high branch of a sturdy tree. One morning, she laid five eggs in it. She sat over her newly laid eggs to hatch them.

One day, when the weather was sunny, the Crow was thinking about her soon-to-be-hatched chicks.

Suddenly, a strong wind swept across the forest.

The branch, on which the Crow was sitting, shookwildly. She got scared and thought that the wind might break the branch on which she had built her nest. So, the Crow carefully carried her nest to a lower branch. Now the Crow was happy as her eggs were safe.

By evening, the weather calmed down.

In that neighbourhood, lived a Hodge. He had been watching the Crowโ€™s eggs for many days. He often thought about climbing the tree, but knew that the nest was too high for him.

Then, to his surprise, he saw the Crowโ€™s nest on a low branch. When the Crow left the nest, the greedy Hodge quickly climbed the tree. He carried the eggs away and ate them. The Crow lost her babies by being too careful!

๐Ÿ”ฅBeing too careful can also be be dangerous.

Dracula part 10
A day or two later, I had a letter. Jonathan was ill and in hospital in Budapest. 'Of course, I must go to him immediately,' I said to Lucy. I did not want to leave her, but Jonathan was everything to me. 'He needs me,' I said. And when at last I arrived in Budapest and held Jonathan in my arms, I felt
happy. Jonathan was very ill but he was getting better every day. He did not want to talk about his time in Castle Dracula, but he gave me his diary to read.
And so I learnt about Count Dracula and Jonathan's terrible adventure in the castle. But he escaped! And when he fell ill in the mountains, some workmen found him and took him to the hospital. Poor Jonathan! His face was white and thin, and he was still very afraid, but now we were together again and everything was all right. Jonathan and I were married on September 1st, and then we began our journey home. We arrived back in England on September 18th, and it was wonderful to be home again. Everyone looked happy on that warm autumn evening, when we drove through the streets of London. Jonathan smiled and said softly, 'Oh Mina, I love you.'
'I love you, too, Jonathan,' I replied. I was truly happy. And then, suddenly, Jonathan's face went white, and he cried out. He was looking at a carriage, outside a shop. In it there was a pretty girl with dark hair. She was waiting for someone. And near the carriage, watching the pretty girl,there was a man - a tall, thin man, with long white teeth and a very red mouth.
'It's the Count!' Jonathan cried. 'Here in London!' Jonathan put his head in his hands and said nothing for the rest of the journey. I was very afraid for him. Was it really true -that this horrible Count Dracula was here in London?

๐ŸŽ‘ Marrying a Gold Digger
๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’

๐ŸŽงLiza: Isn't Jesse wonderful? I'm so glad you got to meet him last night.

๐ŸŽงSinobu: Uh, he's a little young for you, don't you think? I know you've had boy toys in the past, but he takes the cake.

๐ŸŽงLiza: He's no boy toy! It's true that there's a 30-year age difference, but who cares about age when you're talking about love?

๐ŸŽงSinobu: Well, he's certainly dressed for the part, with all of that bling. That watch must have set him back a couple of grand, at least.

๐ŸŽงLiza: Oh, that was a little token of my affection for our one-month anniversary. I just wanted him to know how much I cared about him.

๐ŸŽงSinobu: Well, he certainly knows now who holds the purse strings, if he didn't before. I only hope he's not preying on you.

๐ŸŽงLiza: How can you say that? I've never met anyone more honest or sincere.

๐ŸŽงSinobu: He has you wrapped around his little finger, that's for sure. I hope, for your sake, he's not a gold digger, or that you see his true colors before you make it to the altar again.

๐ŸŽงLiza: Oh, I knew it was a mistake talking to you about Jesse. You're such a cynic!

๐ŸŽงSinobu: And you're a hopeless romantic!
