英语三分钟对话（篇1）

ELIZA: There is a tornado warning on. My mother just told me she heard it on the radio.

LEE: What is a tornado warning?

ELIZA: It means that a tornado has been seen somewhere in the area.

LEE: Really? In New Berlin?

ELIZA: No. Not necessarily in town. But in southern Wisconsin somewhere.

A tornado has been spotted. They have two stages here.

This is what is called a "tornado watch."

That means that the weather conditions are perfect for a tornado.

LEE: I understand. They think a tornado might come.

ELIZA: Yes. People should look out, because maybe there will be tornadoes coming.

So it&39;s called a "watch."

LEE: And the second stage is called a "tornado warning".

ELIZA: Yes. If a tornado has been spotted, they announce a "tornado warning".

So if there&39;s a tornado warning on, it means a tornado is out there somewhere.

LEE: It&39;s scary.

ELIZA: Well. Tornadoes can be dangerous, it&39;s true.

If we hear something like a loud train coming, then we have to go in the basement.

LEE: What do you mean "a loud train"?

ELIZA: That is what tornadoes sound like. They sound like trains. They&39;re very loud.

LEE: But if you hear them coming, isn&39;t it already too late?

ELIZA: Maybe. It depends on the tornado.

Some can move across the ground at 200 miles an hour.

That is very fast. Others aren&39;t so fast.

LEE: Have you seen a lot of them?

ELIZA: I&39;ve only seen one in my life. I was looking out the window.

It was around two miles away. It was very interesting to watch.

But it was heading toward my friend&39;s house. So I quickly called them on the phone.

LEE: Did it hit their house?

ELIZA: No, it didn&39;t. But they are glad I called them.

LEE: What were they doing when you called?

ELIZA: They were all sitting in the living room watching TV.

They had no idea a tornado was coming toward their house.

If it had hit them, they could have all been killed.

LEE: That&39;s terrible. Do many people die in tornadoes?

ELIZA: Not so many really. But a lot of houses are destroyed sometimes.

DORIS: You&39;re late.

LEO: I know I&39;m late. I&39;m sorry.

I tried to call you to tell you, but your phone seems to be disconnected.

DORIS: My phone?

LEO: Yes. An automatic message says your phone is not in service.

DORIS: Really? I had no idea. Let me check.

Yes, it&39;s dead. There&39;s no dial tone.

LEO: So I couldn&39;t get through.

I knew I&39;d be late because my car wouldn&39;t start.

It was too cold I had to warm it up in the garage with a heater. That&39;s why I&39;m late.

DORIS: But this is terrible. I&39;m expecting important calls.

LEO: About what?

DORIS: You know what.

The theater guild is supposed to call me and discuss a contract for my play.

They are supposed to call me this evening.

If I don&39;t have a phone. Oh, what can I do?

LEO: Well, the only thing you can do is tell the phone company and hope they fix it fast.

DORIS: Do you have a cell phone?

LEO: No. I hate cell phones.

But you could go to a neighbor&39;s house and use their phone.

DORIS: Can you drive me?

I will go to Ann&39;s house. It isn&39;t far.

I can call the theater guild from there and give them her number.

She will let us wait in her living room.

LEO: Yes, of course I can drive you.

So you don&39;t want to get your phone fixed right away?

DORIS: Yes, I do.

At Ann&39;s house I will call the phone company and have them check my line.

If they can fix it right away without coming to my house, then we&39;ll just return here.

But if not, I need to wait at Ann&39;s house to talk with the theater guild.

It&39;s very important to me.

LEO: Alright, let&39;s go.

DORIS: Yes, let&39;s go.

英语三分钟对话（篇3）

SALLY: Listen, Karen, I need your help. I don&39;t know anyone here yet.

KAREN: I&39;m glad to help you. What&39;s wrong?

SALLY: My mother-in-law just went into the hospital in L.A.

Hank and I will be flying there tonight.

KAREN: I&39;m sorry to hear it. What&39;s wrong with her?

SALLY: Doctors aren&39;t sure yet.

But the real problem is Suzy. She has a bad cold,

and we don&39;t want to take her with us. But we don&39;t know who can stay with her.

KAREN: You need a babysitter.

SALLY: Yes, I&39;d ask Jill, the girl I&39;ve had before, but I need someone overnight.

Maybe even for two nights.

KAREN: I could have Suzy stay at my place.

SALLY: I don&39;t want to do that to you, Karen.

KAREN: Why not?

SALLY: Your own kids would get Suzy&39;s cold.

I think it would be better to have a good babysitter here. But I don&39;t know who to ask.

I need someone more mature than Jill. It might even be for two or three days.

KAREN: I know who we can ask. There is a girl I know, Sara Ralston.

She is 17, and she will usually take this kind of job.

I know her from my church, and I trust her completely.

SALLY: I&39;d like to talk with her.

This is short notice, I know. But Hank and I are leaving tonight.

KAREN: I&39;ll get you her number. I hope she can do it. She is very responsible.

SALLY: I&39;m glad you know someone. I knew you would be the best person to ask about this.

I don&39;t want to insult Jill or her mother. I think Jill maybe could do it.

But I&39;d rather have someone a little older.

KAREN: I&39;ll go home and get Sara&39;s number. I&39;ll call her first myself.

SALLY: Great. Then call me and let me know if she&39;s free.
