Good day to all! We are almost at the finish line of the first part of the American conversational course “That's what they say in America”, and therefore we repeat the vocabulary from the previous lessons, as well as deepen and expand our knowledge. For example the topic In the mall we have already considered, but today we will delve into this topic and learn the vocabulary for communication in a home appliance store.
Name of household appliances and electronic devices in EnglishYou will learn the name of some household appliances, as well as technical and electronic devices, and learn how to ask for help in a store. Of course, the names of most household appliances were transferred to Russian precisely from of English language (player, blender, mixer, etc.), but still the name of some of them differs from their Russian counterparts. Therefore, today we will look at how various technical devices are called in English.
Following the principle of consistency and consistency of teaching, we will begin our lesson by reading a short dialogue. Today, Voice of America correspondent Martin Lerner decided to give his daughter a present. My father went to a home appliance and electronics store to buy Sue a small radio:
Clerk: Hello. - Hello.
Martin: Can you help me? Do you have radios? - Could you help me? Do you have a radio?
Clerk: Sorry. - Unfortunately no).
Martin: That’s OK. Can you help me now? This radio is twenty-nine dollars. This one is thirty-seven. And this is fifty-eight. Good. Can you help me now? This radio is twenty-nine dollars. This thirty-seven. And this one is fifty-eight.
Martin: Can you show me some larger radios? - Can you show me some great radio?
Clerk: Of course. - Sure.
Read the conversation snippet at the electronics and appliance store several times. Try to memorize English idioms for communicating in store and sales assistants. Then, listen to how to pronounce these expressions correctly in American English:
/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/russian_english_051.mp3Listen carefully to the speaker's speech, trying to catch every feature of the pronunciation. Repeat all words after the native speaker several times to learn how to pronounce these expressions in much the same way as the population of the United States.
Technical devices in English
A table with phrases in English, as well as words for various technical or electronic devices, will help you master new vocabulary much faster. A grammatical reference after the table will help you remember the features of the formation of degrees of comparison in English.
| Technical devices | |
| Phrases | |
| on sale | Sale, on sale |
| could you help me? | Can you help me? |
| Nouns | |
| Market, shop | market |
| antenna | antenna |
| battery / batteries | battery / batteries |
| cent | cent |
| dollar | dollar |
| compact disc player | CD player |
| electricity | electricity |
| sound | sound |
| speaker | (stereo) speaker |
| customization | tuning |
| Verbs | |
| happen | to happen |

Grammar reference:
Most english adjectives form their degrees of comparison using the suffixes " -er "And" -est »:
- This radio is small... That radio is smaller... And this one is the smallest... - This radio is small... That radio is smaller... And this is the smallest .
However, in the formation of an excellent and comparative degree, the words “ most "And" more ". For instance:
- This TV is expensive. That TV is more expensive. And that one is the most expensive. - This TV is expensive. That TV more expensive. And this one is the most expensive.
Be sure to follow Homework:
- Reread the dialogue at the beginning of the lesson. Practice with your friends.
- Translate the following expressions into English and rewrite them in your workbook:
- I want to buy my daughter a small radio.
- Could you help me?
- Show me a more expensive radio.
- I need a small TV for my wife.
- The most expensive TV costs $ 416. It has wonderful stereo sound
Be sure to apply the knowledge gained in practice! I wish everyone a good mood and a holiday any day! See you later!
