There is also video and audio material where the roles are voiced and played by professional announcers - this way you can improve your pronunciation. Therefore, learning English is effective through video recordings.

To compose a dialogue in English on your own, you should first of all imagine its structure, draw some analogy with your everyday dialogue in your native language.

1) Any dialogue begins with a greeting. What it will be depends on who you are talking to. If this is an official or official (your boss, teacher, mayor of the city, just a stranger to you), then it is better to use a construction similar to the Russian “ Good afternoon / evening” - “ Good afternoon / evening” or neutral “ Hello" . If you are talking to a friend or other person close to you, you can use free and emotionally colored greetings, such as: “Hi!”, “How do you do?”, “Hey, What’s up?”.
(Note: in informal dialogues, the greeting phrase often includes questions such as: “what's new, how are you?” It will sound something like this: - Hi, what's going on? - Not much (or Thanks, I'm ok ).

2) The response replica is built in a similar way. We respond to a strict greeting with a polite and dry phrase “Hello, pleased to meet you.” (Hello, nice to see you)
(Note: if you already know the person, then add a title:
Mister + name (to a man) Missis (to a married woman)
Miss - (to a young girl)) We answer a friendly greeting in an unobtrusive way so that the dialogue looks as natural and relaxed as possible.

3) Now we define the purpose of our conversation. Let's look at examples:

A) invitation
- for friends: - How about the cinema? (How about a movie?) - What are your plans on Monday? Do you want to go to the cinema? (What are your plans for Monday? Do you want to go to the movies?) Pretty generic questions. The answer is also easy. –Sounds nice, let's go. (Sounds tempting, let's go) or Sorry, I'm busy on Monday. We will do it next time. (Sorry, I'm busy on Monday. Let's do it another time)
(Note: before questions or requests, you can add an introductory sentence, for example: I know you like watching films. I'm sure (a), something interesting is shown in the cinema now - I know, you like watching films. something really interesting that is being shown in the cinema now)
- official
Would you like to + verb (Would you like to + verb)?
Would you mind … (Do you mind)?

B) Request
(Note: We actively use the word "please" ( please) and "sorry" ( excuse me, i'm sorry), regardless of the type of dialogue, this is a sign of your good upbringing).
-friendly: Can you bring this book for me, please? (Can you bring this book for me?)
-official: Could you help me, please? (Could you help me?)
Would you mind (verb +ing ) opening the window ? (Could you please open the window?)
Could I bother you to find me a book? (Sorry to bother you, could I ask you to find me a book?)

B) Request for information
-with friends:
Tell me about ... (tell me)
What do you thing about …? (what do you think about…)
-with officials
Could you tell me (could you tell)
What is your opinion on the problem of…? (What is your opinion on the problem?)

Question words for writing sentences in order to find out information about the object of interest: Where (where?) When (when?) How (how?) How long (how long) How many (how many (for countable)) How much (how much for uncountable, e.g. money , time ) Which (which from) What (what).

Do not forget to thank the interlocutor for the information received.
Thank you a lot (Thank you very much)
My gratitude (My gratitude)

If necessary, you can express your personal opinion using the phrases:
Pesonally, I believe (I believe)
From my standpoint (from my standpoint)
As for me (as for me)

4) Farewell

  • Goodbye (goodbye, universal for both types of dialogue)
  • It was great to meet you (it was great to meet you)
  • All the best (all the best)

Friendly farewell:

  • See you (see you)
  • Bye (for now)
  • So long (for now)
  • Hope to hear from you soon (I hope to hear from you soon)

— Can I help you?
Yes, I need to go to Pushkinskaya Street.
— You have to go straight on Tverskaya Street to the monument to Pushkin.
Thank you.

- I can help you?
- Yes, I need to go to Pushkinskaya Street.
- You need to go straight along Tverskaya Street to the monument to Pushkin.
- Thanks.

It's always interesting to talk to a good friend. Especially about food.

  • Hello Mike. What have you been up to? (Hi Mike. What have you been up to?)
  • Hello brian. Nothing much and what about you? (Hi Brian. Nothing, how about you?)
  • I just returned from the shop. I have bought 3 kilos of salmon, 2 loafs of bread, a turkey, 5 kilos of oranges and cereals
  • very good. And by the way what is your favorite food? (Very good. And by the way, what do you like to eat?)
  • Oh, you know, I like to eat, in general everything. But i really like potato salad, ice-cream and lasagna. And what about you? What do you like to eat? (Oh, you know, I like to eat basically everything. But my favorite things are potato salad, ice cream and lasagna. What about you? What do you like to eat?)
  • Me? I love sausages and corndogs. And also pineapples and apples are my favorite fruits, definitely. (Me? I really like sausages and hot dogs. Also pineapples and apples are my favorite fruits.)
  • And what are you going to cook on Thanksgiving? (What are you going to cook this Thanksgiving?)
  • I am going to cook a turkey, as always. I will make a crab salad, salad with olives and mushrooms and mashed potatoes. (I'm going to cook the turkey as I usually do. I'll also make crab salad, olive and mushroom salad, and mashed potatoes.)
  • Can I come? (Can I come over?)
  • Of course (Of course).

You come to a restaurant and a waiter comes to you.

  • Good day to you, sir. May I take your order? (Good afternoon sir. May I take your order?)
  • Certainly. But at first I would like to hear today's special meals. (Of course, just to start, I would like to hear what special dishes you have)
  • By all means. Today we have a tomato soup, spaghetti bolognaise and truffles. We also have a very exquisite wine of 1934th. (Of course. Today we serve tomato soup, spaghetti with cheese and a very fine 1934 wine)
  • Oh, it sounds fantastic. I would have all of that and also a bloody beef. (Oh, that's great. I'll order all that and some more beef and blood)
  • What an excellent choice, sir! I will bring you the order in 10 minutes
  • What would you like to have for desert, sir. Apart from truffles. We have a great apple pie and chocolate cake. (And what would you like for dessert besides truffle. We have wonderful apple pie and chocolate cake)

  • Of course sir, but would you like a tea? We have an excellent jasmine tea with strawberry flavor
  • I will take a tea. (Of course I'll order better tea)

Welcome everyone to my blog!

Today I would like to discuss such an ambiguous issue in the study of foreign languages ​​as use of dialogues. Many teachers and students believe thatdialogues in englishare indispensable for those who want to master this language perfectly, but there are also many opponents of this technique.

Dialogues and Naturalness of Speech

Learn a language by learning grammar rules and meeting prominent literary works in a foreign language is a great way to learn a language in such a way that you will not be able to put it into practice later. Correct speech from the point of view of grammar does not always sound beautiful and adequate from the point of view of a native speaker. And beautiful literary turns and complex vocabulary will not help in everyday communication. between friends.

Many teachers, including university teachers, often force their students to memorize large chunks of complex texts and recite them by heart. In this way, they hope to instill in students a flair for language, that same inner voice that, in difficult moments, says whether a certain phrase in a foreign language sounds good or not. In addition, they hope to expand vocabulary and improve intonation.

This approach makes sense. really expands the vocabulary, and recitation improves the pronunciation skills of sounds and intonations alien to the Russian ear.

However, much more efficientfor beginners and for children memorize simple and short dialogues. Lots of dialogue these days with translation and audio can be found and downloaded in the Internet. In particular, a large number of materials on various topics download can be found on my blog:

(audio versions of the dialogues will be posted during autumn-winter 2018-19)

Actively listening to audio or browsing video dialogues, which are also freely available on Youtube, you can quickly learn how to communicate in different situations of everyday life and make your speech natural.

The great usefulness of dialogues can be illustrated by the following example. In an English-speaking culture, the ability to keep small conversations about nothing, the so-called small talk much appreciated. Any stranger on the street, for example, at a bus stop, can say hello to you and talk a little about the weather. Or a cashier at a supermarket may ask how long you have come to America and wish you a good day.

This is alien to Russian culture, and many get lost in such situations. For example, we are not used to smiling at strangers on the street and freely talking to them about anything. But a successfully supported spontaneous conversation can significantly motivate in the study foreign language and make you believe in yourself. Spoken modern phrases for everyday communication can be gleaned just the same in dialogues.

Dialogue 1

— Hi there!

— Hi! What's your name?

— My name is Ann. And yours?

— My name is Kate. Nice to meet you!

— Nice to meet you too.

- Hey!

- Hey! What is your name?

- My name is Ann. And you?

- My name is Kate. Nice to meet you.

- And me.

The first dialogue is devoted to the topic of dating. With it, you can learn how to say hello, introduce yourself and ask the interlocutor aboutwhat his name is, and also say: "Nice to meet you." These are useful and necessary every day phrases that are rarely found in literature.

Dialogue 2

Excuse me Sir! Do you live here?

Yes.

— Could you tell me, please, where Old Gloucester Street is?

Sure. It's not far from here. Go straight ahead, then turn to the right and cross the square, and then turn to the right again.

— Thanks a lot!

- You're welcome.

— Excuse me, sir! Are you local?

- Yes.

“Can you tell me where Old Gloucester Street is?”

- Certainly. She's not far from here. Go straight ahead, then turn right and cross the square, then turn right again.

Thanks a lot!

- You are welcome.

Dialogues about orientation will be very helpful for those who are going to travel abroad or live in a city where there are many tourists. With it, you can learn to give instructions on how to find a particular place, as well as how to contact a passerby if necessary.

The ideal way to work with this view educational texts - listen to phrases for dialogue repeatedly. Read its translation to make sure that all words and phrases are understood. Then you can try to repeat each remark after the speaker, also several times, trying to imitate his articulation and intonation as much as possible. Finally, say or read the dialogue out loud on your own. You can memorize it by heart, then foreign words will be better remembered. But thisan optional item, since the main words and phrases will remain in memory after repeated repetition in different ways.

On this I say goodbye. I really hope that reading this article has brought not only benefit, but also pleasure. See you soon on my blog!

Hello my dears.

Let's start today with a question for you. How can you start developing your child's conversational language?

But it's true! Indeed, at the beginning of his journey, your baby's vocabulary for free conversation is at its lowest level - if not to say that it does not exist at all. And it’s not always possible to talk “not freely” either. So what's the way out? And the way out is this: dialogues for children in English.

Surprisingly, this technique has found a response in the hearts of both many children and their parents. The secret here is simple: you can read or listen to simple dialogues - at first I would even advise mini-dialogues - to disassemble individual words and phrases in them and recite them. Read them with translation, listen to them in audio and learn.

If you are concerned about how to develop your child's English reading skills, I suggest you check it out - it contains step-by-step lessons with pictures and audio. Come and try - you and your child will love it!

Today I will give you several different options, on various topics and of varying complexity.

Speech practice for preschool age distinguished by its simplicity and theme. It is easiest for such small children to remember what surrounds them: colors, animals, family, etc. Let's start with the "Greeting" and "Introduction" dialogs. For example:

-Hi.(Hello/Good morning/Good afternoon/Good evening)
-Hi.
-What is your name?
-My name is Maria. And yours?
-My name is Diana.

-Hey . (Hello / Good morning / Good afternoon / Good evening)
-Hello.
-What is your name?
-My name is Maria. And you?
- My name is Diana.

This is the easiest option to start with. You can develop the conversation further, for example, like this:

-How old are you?
-I am five years old. And how old are you?
-I am six years old.

-How old are you?
-I am five years old. And how old are you?
-I am six years.

-Do you speak English?
-Yes, I do. Do you speak English?
- Yes, I do.

-Do you speak English?
-Yes. BUT do you speak English?
- Yes.

You can also use this extension:

-Where are you from?
-I am from Moscow. And you?
-I am from London.

-Where are you from?
-I am from Moscow. And you?
-I'm from London.

This is the most elementary thing that you can do with your baby today.


And here are the options, for example, for grade 2 on the topic of family:

-How many family members do you have?
-I have 4 family members. A mother, a father, me and my older sister. And you?
-I have a father, a mother. I do not have any sisters or brothers.
-This is my mother Tanya and this is my father Vadim. My sister is Olya. She goes to school already.
-My mother's name is Alina, my father's name is Nikita.

-How many family members do you have?
-We're four . Mom, dad, me and my older sister. And how many of you?
-I have a mom and a dad. I don't have any sisters or brothers.
- This is my mother Tanya and this is my father Vadim. My sister Olya. She already goes to school.
My mother's name is Alina, my father's name is Nikita.

For grade 3 students, you can combine dialogue and game " I can see something blue…". For example:

-I can see something red...
-It's an apple. It's a towel. It's a shoe.
-I can see something green...
-It's a flower. It's a coat.
-I can see something yellow...
-It's a ball.

-I can see something red...
-This is an Apple. This is a towel. This is a boot.
-I can see something green...
-This is a flower . This is a coat.
-I can see something yellow...
- It's a ball.

Talking about animals will help you quickly learn the right vocabulary.

-Do you have a pet?
-Yes, I have a rat. His name is Bonnie. Do you have a pet?
-I already have two dogs and a fish.
-What are their names?
-My dogs" names are Dilly and Tisha, and my fish is called Loopy.

-Do you have a pet?
-I have a rat. His name is Bonnie. Do you have a pet?
-I already have two dogs and a fish.
-What are their names?
My dogs' names are Dilly and Tisha, and my fish's name is Loopy.

A good variant of the theme is a hobby. For example:

-Do you like football?
-Yes, I do. My favorite football team is Barcelona. And you?
-I do not. I like basketball and tennis. What about reading?
-I like reading. I read several books per week. And do you like reading?
-I do not. I like watching films. My favorite films are "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars".

-Do you like football?
-Yes. My favorite football team Barcelona. And you?
-I don't. I love basketball and tennis. How about reading?
-I like to read. I read several books a week. Do you like to read?
-Me not. I love watching movies . My favorite movies are Harry Potter and Star Wars.

In addition to the previous one, you can add the following:

-How did you spend your summer?
- We went to the sea. The town was beautiful and the sea was very warm. And you?
-I was in the village with my grandparents. We played football with my brother and swam in the lake.

-How did you spend your summer?
- We went to the sea. The city is beautiful and the sea is very warm. And you?
-I was in the village grandma and grandpa. We played football with my brother and swam in the lake.

For grade 5 students who already have a good lexical base, you can connect all these dialogues, and reveal all these topics one by one: greeting, introduction, family, animals, hobbies, etc.

The last thing I want to say, my dears, is that with the help of such mini-talks, your little ones can quickly learn new words, as well as get rid of the fear of talking. I can give you some advice:

  • don't try right away embrace something big and complex Take small steps towards your big goal.
  • be sure that your child is familiar with all the words when you say something. Words learned by heart, the meaning of which remains unknown, will do absolutely no good..
  • combine the use of this method with some kind of game so that the baby naturally memorized vocabulary.

I recommend that all children and their parents take this course from Lingualeo « For the little ones» . This online course - in a playful and very enjoyable way - will captivate your child and make him ask you “I want to play English again”. My daughter still likes it)), although we bought it a decent time ago.

That's all, my dears. I hope that these materials will help you in learning the language. Moreover, you can get even more materials by subscribing to my blog mailing list. Improve your English with my help every day.

Dialogues in English will help you learn new vocabulary from different areas, and also, by replaying the course of a conversation in various situations, you will be more confident in building a conversation in everyday life.
