Recently we have been learning about dates and time in the FE4-Speaking Class at Toyo Gakuen University. For the next test you will have to make a date to go to a movie. Here's a video from EF Education First to help you. The video talks about polite ways to make a suggestion in English. There are various ways to make a suggestion including:
- How about....?
- Would you like to...?
- I was wondering if...?
Here's another video about making dates. This video is an animated video. My friend Paul made this video. Paul has a video podcast called ESLpodTV. It's a great podcast. This video is about an English man called Ed. U. Cator. He calls his new friend to invite her to his house. You can learn more about making suggestions, invitations and polite requests (丁寧語、招待) in this video. here's some vocabulary to help you:
guy - person, usually a man
anytime - whenever
nothing special - nothing different or unusual
accent - the way your voice sounds shaped by where you’re from
housewarming party - special event celebrating moving into new home
neighbours - the people living nearby
got nothing on - not doing anything at that time
few - a small number of something
funny - strange
I was wondering if… polite expression requesting somebody do something

When we make a date in English we need to be able to say dates. For example: June 11th, August 30th, December 25th. We need to be make to make the "th" sound. You can watch some videos about making the "th" sound by clicking here.
When we make a date in English we need to be able to talk about time as well as dates. Here's a video from Real English about time.
Here's another video that talks about prepositions of time. This video comes from JenniferESL
For your next test you will have to make a date to see a movie. Good luck!
