Man: Yeah, but it's kind of noisy.

Woman: Oh... Maybe you should complain with your neighbors.

Post-listening

Trong bài nghe, bạn có để ý câu đầu tiên không?

 Hey, is that Bill?

Bạn gần như chỉ nghe thấy "that Bill" mà không nghe thấy "is".

Đó là hiện tượng hiện tượng tỉnh lược. Khi nói nhanh, người ta thường rút ngắn gọn, lược bỏ những trợ động từ đi. Rút gọn sao cho, sau khi rút gọn, câu nói vẫn có nghĩa, người nghe vẫn hiểu được.

Eg.

 Is that Bill?  ( bỏ tợ động từ "is")

Hoặc

Have you got the time?

=> You got the time?

Did you see her last night?

=> You see 'er last night?

( Đôi khi "her" bị đọc thành "er", bỏ mất âm "h")

Nhưng bạn chú ý nhé, chỉ những cuộc nói chuyện bình thường và thân mật bạn mới nên dùng những câu thế này thôi. Tuyệt đối tránh dùng trong những cuộc nói chuyện mang tính chất trang trọng và nghiêm túc.

YOU BELONG WITH ME

Loading...

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset She's going off about something that you said She doesn’t get your humour like I do I'm in the room, it’s a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn’t like And she'll never know your story like I do But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you'll wake up and find That what you're lookin’ for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along so why can't you see? You belong with me You belong with me Walkin’ the streets with you in your worn out jeans I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on the park bench thinkin’ to myself Hey isn’t this easy? And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town I haven’t seen it in awhile, since she brought you down You say you find I know you better than that Hey, What cha doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along so why can't you see? You belong with me Standin’ by, waiting at your back door All this time how could you not know that? You belong with me You belong with me Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry I know your favourite songs and you tell me about your dreams I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me. Can't you see that I'm the one who understand you? Been here all along so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by or waiting at your back door All this time how could you not know that You belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe You belong with me You belong with me
