**澳大利亚有一种著名的鸟，叫的声音像人的笑声一样。

PART III -The Lesson
MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO MEET A FRIEND
与一位朋友约会
1.FINDING OUT IF YOUR FRIEND IS FREE
问对方是否有空
a) Are you free (next weekend/this evening/ect.)?
- Yes,I am.
- No,I've got something on,I'm afraid.
- Well,I'm tied up in the morning but I'm free in the afternoon.
b) Are you doing anything(on the weekend /tonight /etc.)?
- No,I'm not.
- Yes,I've got something on then.
- Well,I've got to do the shopping(on Saturday morning),but I'm not doing anything special(on Sunday).
c) What're you doing(this evening/on Saturday/etc.)?
- Nothing specail/at the moment.
- I've got to go to my Aunt's place(on Saturday).
d) Have you got anything on (on Sunday)?
- No(I haven't).
- I'm tied up all day,I'm afraid.

注意:
　●　非正式地提到将来的事情,特别是在社交活动中与人约会,一般用现在时,尤其是现在进行时,例如:
I'm doing the shopping on Saturday morning.
　●　I've got something on on Sunday morning: on 用了两次,在句中的作用不同: (a) 第一个on是这一句主要成分 I've got something on 的一部分; (b) 第二个on是表示时间的短语 on Sunday morning 的一部分。
2. MAKING DETAILED ARRANGEMENTS
具体安排约会
a) 确定具体活动,具体地方
Why don't we (go.../meet at.../visit/play.../have a party)? 用于非正式谈话,提出建议.
Have you ever been to...?用现在完成时,因为这是指 到现在为止过去整个时间内发生过的事情,肯定的答复可以 是: Yes,I have.(不说具体时间)
Yes,I went there last year.(用简单过去时+具体时间)
如果你知道你的朋友去过某地,可以用简单过去时问问题, 例如:
Where did you go?
When did you to there?
What did you do?
What did you see?
Did you see...?
How long did you stay...?
Let's (go to .../meet at ...)
和对方商量到什么地方去,提出一个意见,为了征得对方同 意,可以用这个句式:Let's......的前面往往加Then或 Well
b) 确定见面的地点和时间
Where will I meet you?
At my place/At the station/etc.
What time?
one o'clock/Three o'clock/etc.
注意：
　● 问句和答句往往不用完整句;
　● 商量具体安排时常用will,但在此以前不常用will.在澳大利亚,提问时一般用will I,很少用shall I。

CONVERSATIONAL DEVICES
a) I'm afraid
I'm afraid I'm tied up on Sunday.
I'm tied up on Sunday,I'm afraid.
I'm afraid 在这里没有“我害怕”的意思，只是比较客气地说明自己对某事感到遗憾、抱歉。这个短语在会话时常用。
b) Well 有两种用法：
i)使说话的人有时间考虑如何回答，相当于汉语里的“嗯”“ 嗯一”（参看Dialogue 1,Jane的第一句话。）
ii)意思是：这样说来；那么。（参看Dialogue 1,Anne的 最后一句话。）
注意： Oh well...的意思同（ii），但通常有对目前情况认
可，表示愿意接受的含意。

PRONUNCIATION CORNER
注意听广播中的下面的句子，听完广播后再练习：
凡问句的疑问词以Wh开头的，此问句用降调。
When did he go?
Where will we meet?

PART IV - Exercises
1. 问你的朋友Part III第一点里的问题，请对方按照实际情 况回答，然后由你朋友问，你回答。
2. 和你朋友一起朗读开头的三小段对话，模仿播音员的节奏 和语调。问和答由你和你朋友交替进行。
