August 14th, Daily Journal


On Tuesday, August 14th, We listen to Georgiana, the founder of Speak English pod, she was talking about going out at night, emblematic places to hangout in New York City and how to order a drink, So she plains that on one Friday at night and we could call a friend to invite to going out or going to a Night Club, she said that people of New York on their 20’s or 30’s they usually have a drink in a bar and then go to a Club, she suggested different locations in Manhattan which is commonly visited by fashion models, celebrities, professional athletes  and musicians but sometimes is difficult to get in, she mentioned Provocateur one of the favorites for the elite and famous and you have to make reservation and it’s very expensive for being an exclusive club, another is Avenue it host most of the elites parties in New York,  and if you are hipster she recommended look at the lower east side you can eat, drink, shop and hangout after dark, the current hottest area for bars and night clubs is the Meatpacking District. Then she gave tips to order drinks she recommended to start with a well drink that are made of cheapest liquors available and in the happy hour it’s always a well drink because it has the cheapest one for example if the happy hour is  gin and tonic you get the cheapest gin and tonic, there is the cold drink that is made of the liquor you want, also the are the beers that came in a keg except the specialty beers and finally there are the top shop drinks or the premium drink made of expensive liquors. She mentioned the term on the rocks that means with ice.

Then she told a short story from two grammatical points of view on the past, present and future, it was about a girl named Sandra that likes to go clubbing every weekend, she doesn’t drink only wants to dance.

Later we listen another pod cast about how to continue a conversation when you’re stuck or blocked and at the end she told a story about a very handsome man who flies to an island

Then we saw a video about a short clip of  one episode of the tv show Friends to learn American English vocabulary, expressions and pronunciation.

Then Mackenzie came and made an activity of make 10 questions each one in pairs and throw it to the partner and we can’t answer with yes, no or I don’t know.
