Improve Your English with podcast ( دانلود eslpod از شماره 12 تا 536 کامل + متن )

سلام به همه


سایت eslpod توسط یک تیم داوطلب در لس آنجلس و به سرپرستی دکتر جف مک کوالن اداره می شود. دکتر جف مک کوالن چندین سال در آمریکا و سایر کشورها به آموزش زبان انگلیسی مشغول بوده و مدرک دکترای Ph.D خودش را در رشته ی زبانشناسی کاربردی از دانشگاه کالیفرنیای جنوبی گرفته است و مقالات و کتابهای زیادی هم در زمینه ی آموزش زبان انگلیسی تالیف کرده است.

پادکست های این سایت در موضوعات متنوع و جذاب تهیه شده و می شوند. تمامی پادکست ها به صورت Real English هستند ، تمامی بخش های آن توسط گوینده بومی آمریکا و کمی آهسته تر از صحبت معمولی گفته شده و همان انگلیسی ای در آنها استفاده شده که که در میان افراد بومی آمریکا رایج است.

هر پادکست شامل دو بخش مهم است. بعد از یک معرفی کوتاه به بخش اول می رسیم. این بخش شامل بحث یا گفتگویی در مورد موضوع مورد نظر است که بین 3 تا 6 دقیقه طول می کشد. در بخش دوم کلمات و اصطلاحات به کار رفته در بخش اول توضیح داده می شود. همچنین در این بخش در مورد اینکه چگونه این کلمات و اصطلاحات (چه رسمی و چه غیر رسمی) ، توسط افراد بومی مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد، توضیح داده می شود.

فایل صوتی و بخش اول متن هر پادکست به صورت رایگان از طریق سایت eslpod قابل دسترس است اما برای دریافت متن بخش دوم هر پادکست باید حدود 2 دلار پرداخت کنید.

در این بخش سعی داریم که سطح زبان انگلیسی شما را به کمک یکی از بهترین پادکست های موجود در شبکه اینترنت یعنی پادکست های ارائه شده توسط سایت eslpod بهبود ببخشیم.


چند نکته...

بهترین حالت برای یادگیری یک زبان این است که زبان آموز در محیطی قرار بگیرد که به آن زبان صحبت می شود.

در این روش به نوعی موقعیت های گوناگون برای شما شبیه سازی می شود و شما می آموزید که افراد بومی در موقعیت های مختلف چه کلمات و اصطلاحاتی را به کار می برند. مثلا نحوه درخواست کار، نوشتن یک ایمیل رسمی و ...

شما در این روش کلمات و اصطلاحات را به تنهایی یاد نمی گیرید بلکه آن را در جملات می آموزید، و نحوه کاربرد آن را نیز یاد می گیرید. این سرعت یادگیری شما را بالا می برد و یادگیری شما را عمیق تر می سازد.

گوش دادن (آن هم به یک Native)، عامل مهمی در یادگیری زبان است، شما می توانید قبل از نگاه کردن به متن هر پادکست چند بار فایل صوتی آن را گوش داده و بعد با نگاه کردن به متن اشکالات خود را برطرف کرده و Listening خود را تقویت کنید.

***تاپیک های دیگری هم در این مورد زده شده بود اما به دلیل اینکه لینک ها یا فی%ل شده بودن یا deadlink بودن و دیگه ادامه نداده بودن این تاپیکو زدم ***.


لینک های هر قسمت جدا قرار داده میشه و در آخر هر 10 قسمت فایلی به صورت زیپ برای دانلود گذاشته میشه

این مجموعه ، مجموعه ی بسیار عالی برای پیشرفت Listening هست و مطمئن باشید بعد از مدتی تأثیرشو می بینید .

I love coming to this Italian restaurant. The appetizers and desserts are to die for. When the waiter came to our table to take our order, my friend ordered a lobster ravioli dish, and I asked for my favorite, lasagna. The waiter then asked us, “Would you like a soup or salad with that?” My friend said yes; I passed on both.

The vibe in the restaurant is pretty laid back, not at all uptight like you find in some of the ritzier restaurants in Beverly Hills. The wait staff is courteous, although sometimes the hostesses can be a bit snooty.

Anyway, when our meals arrived, everything was cooked to perfection. Since I didn’t order any appetizers, soup, or salad, I was starved. Even though I was really hungry, I tried not to gobble down my food too quickly. I didn’t want my friend to think I was a pig! But even though I tried not to, I still overate. When the waiter asked if we wanted any dessert or after dinner drinks, I just couldn’t resist getting the apple-filled crepes. They are the best.

When we got our check, my friend and I split the bill, as we’re accustomed to do. I frankly prefer to go Dutch when I eat out with friends. So that was the end of a really great meal. Now I have to hit the gym if I’m going to loose any of this extra weight I gained from eating that lasagna!

I heard on the radio this morning that my favorite band was going to be in concert here next month. I was so excited. The first thing I did was to call my friend Ben who is also a big fan of the band. Not only was the band playing in town, they were going to play at a bar called the Whiskey. The Whiskey is known as a small, intimate venue so we’d be able to get close to the band. It’s not a big amphitheater where you can’t even see the band from the nose-bleed section. This would be the ultimate concert experience…if only we can get tickets.

I was sure that the tickets would sell out fast when they went on sale on Saturday morning. So, Ben and I decided to camp out in front of the box office on Friday night. That way, when the box office opened on Saturday morning, we would definitely get tickets. We grabbed a bite to eat on Friday night, then we got dressed in our warmest clothes and took our sleeping bags to the ticket office. This was around 8pm. When we got there, I couldn’t believe it! There were already about 15 people in line! And, I was sure we’d be the first ones. Oh well.

Ben and I got into the back of the line and we barely got any sleep all night. We talked to the other people there and we just hung out all night. Nothing got out of hand, though, so we didn’t get hassled by the cops. By morning, there were more than 50 die-hard fans in line.

Well, it paid off. When the box office opened at 9 am, we filed up to the window one by one and got our tickets. It was all worth it. I heard afterwards that the concert sold out in less than a half hour! I’m so glad we braved the elements and camped out. I really can’t wait until next month!

My friend Ben and I have been waiting a month to see our favorite band in concert. This was the night. We were so excited. In a small venue like the Whiskey, there wouldn’t be a bad seat in the house.

So, we get to the Whiskey really early to find street parking and snagged a spot about four blocks away. Then, we got in line which was already about 20 deep. There were two bouncers outside of the bar and they weren’t letting anybody in yet. We waited and waited in line. Finally, the line started to move. When we got to the head of it, one of the bouncers checked our tickets and one of the other employees of the club put a wrist band on each of us. I guess this was to let the employees in the bar know that we belonged there and we weren’t crashing the party.

Anyway, we got inside and tried to get as close to the stage as possible. There were already a bunch of people standing in front of the stage in a special roped-off section. These were probably VIP’s or maybe they were groupies. Who knows? Anyway, I just know that security wasn’t letting anyone get that close.

Before too long, people started to cheer and I knew that the opening act was about to come on. This was a band I’d never heard of before so I wasn’t that excited to hear them. They did come out and they started played a set. I couldn’t believe it. They were really horrible. The people standing next to Ben and me started boo-ing the band. Other people started throwing things on the stage, like their drinks and their food. After a little while, the boo-ing got so loud, you could hardly hear the band. Finally, they finished their song and left the stage.

The concert-goers were pretty rowdy by this time. Some were yelling, others were getting up on top of the bar and dancing. Just when I thought there was going to be riot, someone got on the microphone and started to introduced the headlining band. All of a sudden, everybody calmed down and started cheering. The band came on stage and started their first number. Then, the room was full of happy campers. Ben and I were both a little nervous for a second there. We didn’t know if things were going to get out of hand. But when the band started playing, we knew that everything would be ok. This was turning out to be a great night, just like we’d imagined.

I think the best summer vacation I’ve ever taken was when I went out East a few years ago. Two of my friends and I went on a two-week road trip. At the time, I was living in St. Paul, Minnesota, in the Midwest of the United States. Anyway, we started off by camping every night, but that got real old, real fast. So we started checking in to hotels after about the third day. We were headed for Washington, DC first. Checking in at the hotel was always a bit of a hassle. I wanted to sleep in a double bed, my friends wanted to get a king to share. Lodging is more expensive at a hotel than in a campground, but its much, much more comfortable!

We went to the major tourist attractions in Washington, D.C.—the capitol, Lincoln’s Memorial, the White House. We then headed north, passing through Boston headed towards Canada, to Quebec City. When we arrived at the Canadian border, we had to pass through customs and immigration. Customs was easy—we had nothing to declare. Immigration more of a pain. We were ask the standard questions. How long will you be staying in Canada? What is the nature of your visit? Finally, we were permitted to enter, and we drove on to our destination.

Quebec City was beautiful! Unlike many cities, there were no tourist traps to sidetrack you. We spent two days there, then drove on to Montreal. Of course, we had to pass customs and immigration again when we re-entered the United States. Our bags were searched in customs, but other than that we got through fairly easily. A few days later, we were back in Minnesota--home sweet home

ESLPod017-watching_movies

  محتوای مخفی: Text 

I love watching movies. I like a lot of different genres. No matter what my mood is, I can always find something that fits the bill. When I’m feeling down, I sometimes like a good comedy. My favorite are romantic comedies. The plot is pretty simple. A boy meets a girl and there are road blocks to them getting together. The lead actors are usually likable people, the supporting cast give comic relief and villains are people we love to hate. In the end, though, there is usually a happy ending. Romantic comedies, or comedies in general, can be predictable but they’re also pretty entertaining. I don’t go out of my way to see slapstick or physical comedies that much. But, once in a while, I catch a good one on TV.

I like dramas, mysteries, and action and adventure stories, not to mention documentaries. My favorite are movies that have surprise endings that throw you for a loop. Just when you thought you had the whole thing figured out, there’s a plot twist. Good screenwriters or directors can pull it off.

One type of movie I don’t like that much are horror movies. Scary movies just don’t do it for me. But, there is one exception. I like movies by the director Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock was born in England but made most of his films in the U.S. Before he died in 1980, he made a lot of movies that are now considered classics. Most of them are nail-biters; some are mysteries and some are horror stories.

The scariest movie I think he made and that I’ve ever seen was a movie called Psycho. The movie is set in a seedy motel called Bates Motel. The main character owns the motel and lives there with his mother. Strange things happened at this motel. People check in, but sometimes, they don’t check out. One day, a very pretty woman checks in to the motel. We know something bad is going happen to her. Sure enough, we see her get murdered. At the very end, we find out who the murderer is. It’s one of those surprise endings. Just when you thought you have it figured out, it turns out to be a shocker. I won’t spoil the ending for you if you haven’t seen it. I recommend it though and give it a big thumbs up. But, be warned. It’s not for the faint-hearted.

Getting around in the United States is sometimes not very easy. Most people own their own cars, but not everyone can foot the bill for the car, plus the insurance, gas, and maintenance. Most big cities have buses, but they are much slower than a car. Several cities in the U.S. have subway systems, but many do not. There are even fewer trains that transport daily commuters. In cities such as Los Angeles, public transportation is much more limited than in other countries.

If you take some form of public transportation, you need to pay a certain fare. In most big cities the fare is anywhere from 1 to 2 dollars. But don’t expect the bus driver to change a bill for you. You usually need exact change if you’re going to ride a bus, train, or subway. Whatever you take, you always have to pay for it!

My friends here in Los Angeles all have different ways of getting to work. One friend, who lives out in the boonies, rides the train everyday. He takes the train because it’s easier for him than driving or taking a bus. Another friend I know who works close to where he lives rides a bike everyday. Still another friend drives his car. I don’t know anyone who rides the bus, but I’ve taken it once or twice when my car was in the shop. Worse comes to worst, you can always hop in a taxi. Taking a taxi is expensive here, though, so be prepared for a big fare—not including the tip!

Believe it or not, I don’t own an iPod. I know, I know. I’m really behind the times, but I have an excuse. I’ve been so busy at my work lately, I haven’t had time to take a break. So finally yesterday I went shopping for an iPod down at the mall in Santa Monica.

I walked into the Mac store there and was immediately greeted by a salesperson. He asked, “Can I help you find something?” “No,” I said, “just looking.” I don’t like the feeling of high-pressure salespeople. Anyway, I looked around the store some more, and finally made my way to the iPod section. Then I decided to ask the salesman a question. “Excuse me, can I ask you something?” “Sure,” he said. “Go right ahead.” “I’m thinking of picking up an iPod, but I’m not sure which one is right for me. What do you recommend?” He replied, “Are you going to be using it for running, jogging, working out, in your car?” “Yes,” I said, “all of those, except the running, jogging, and working out.” He laughed at my somewhat lame joke. “Okay, well, I recommend you get the iPod Mini to start.” “How much is that?” I asked. “Well, it just went on sale, so I think we can offer you a good price on it.” “I’ll take one,” I said, and we made our way to the cash register. “Will that be credit or debit?” he asked me. “Credit card,” I said, as I swiped the card through the reader. I waited, and nothing happened. “Could you swipe that card again? It didn’t go through.” “Sure,” I said, and swiped it again. Finally, the card processed and he handed me the charge slip to sign. “I’m sure you’ll be very happy with your purchase.” “Oh,” I said. “It’s not really for me. It’s for my wife!”

My computer has been acting up on me. It’s a pretty old model, and I need to replace it. So I decided to call up my friend Kevin to ask for his two cents. Kevin is a computer whiz. He knows PC really well since he worked on them for years, but in his heart of hearts, he is a big Mac fan. So, I thought he would be good person to ask.

I have always used a PC. I do mostly word processing so I don’t need anything fancy. But, I see people I know doing cool things with photos and video, so I’d like to take a crack at some new programs in the future.

Well, I called up Kevin to tell him what I needed. He immediately started throwing out specs: “You need at least a 2 Gigahertz processor and 1 Gig of memory, and make sure it has a writable DVD drive.” “Whoa,” I said. “All of that is way over my head. Let’s back up for a a minute.” Then he laughed and said he had gotten carried away. “Okay,” he said. “Let’s start at the beginning. Now, the processor determines how easily and how fast you can use the programs on your computer. Got that?” I said that I did. Then he continued, “How much RAM memory you have is very important, too. Your computer will go faster the more you have. So, I recommend getting at least 1 Gigabyte of RAM memory.” “I think I’m following you so far, “ I said. “Great,” he said. Another thing you want is a drive that handles both CDs and DVDs. Some drives can just read DVDs and some can record onto blank ones. If you want to burn your own videos, you’ll want a writable DVD drive. Remember though, that’s just the computer itself. Don’t forget that you’ll need a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and speakers.”

“OK,” I said. “I think I’ve got all that. Now, here’s the burning question: Mac or PC?

He said: “Now that’s a whole different thing. Do you have a couple of hours?”

  محتوای مخفی: Text 

Well, I was born and raised in Minnesota, in St. Paul, Minnesota, to be exact. I won’t say how long ago that was, but let’s just say I’m no spring chicken. I grew up there with my rather large family of 8 brothers and 2 sisters. (I was the baby of the family, but I swear I wasn’t spoiled!) We were 13 in all—probably the biggest family in the neighborhood, maybe in the state. I had a mostly happy childhood. My father and mother didn’t have a lot of money, but we were never worried about keeping up with the Joneses. I wasn’t much into sports like my brothers were, but I enjoyed reading and listening to music growing up. I went to grade school near my house, and then to a high school about 2 miles from where I lived. After graduating from high school, I went on to the University of Minnesota to get my bachelor’s degree. It took me a while to learn the ropes at the university, but I finally graduated nearly 6 years later. Better late than never, as my father used to say. I then went to Mexico for a couple of years to teach English and to study Spanish. When I returned, I decided to become a teacher, so I went back to school to get my Master’s degree. After teaching for a few years, I was offered a job in California, so I moved to Los Angeles in 1991. After working here a few years, I went back to school—again!—to get my Ph.D. I was starting to become a professional student. Well, I finished up my degree in four years, and then taught at the university for several years. Now, I work at a small research organization here in L.A. I am happily married, and I still enjoy reading and listening to music, and, of course, hosting ESL Podcast.

This is turning out to be a month for seeing old friends. I got an email a couple of weeks ago from a old friend from graduate school. She and her family are visiting L.A. for a week. They plan to see family and to visit old friends. Since she moved out of the country, I hadn’t seen her in ages. I’m looking forward to meeting her new kids and seeing her again.

Another old friend called this week. She and I were buddies in our undergraduate days. She plans to swing by L.A. on her way to San Francisco. We’ve made plans to have lunch. She works in Washington D.C. as a political advisor and is usually very busy. I’m glad she could make time for us to get together.

When we say good-bye to our friends, we always hope to keep in touch. But, what with this and that, it’s sometimes hard to do. With friends that I’ve fallen out of touch with, it’s sometimes hard to meet up again and pick up where we left off. We’ve both moved on to a different phase in our lives. Some of my old friends have become very successful, living lives in the fast lane. Other friends are struggling along and are just making ends meet. But, no matter how they’re doing, it’s always nice to touch base again.

I’m really looking forward to seeing these old pals of mine and catching up after all this time.

Spring cleaning is suppose to take place before summer, not after it. But, as usual, I procrastinated and now I have to finally get rid of all the junk I’ve accumulated over the year. But now there are no if’s, and’s, or but’s about it—the cleaning must be done!

I start in my bedroom. I have a king bed, with a sheet on the mattress and a top sheet, with pillow cases on the pillows. Atop all that I have a down comforter. Well, they all need to be washed, so into the machine they go. Next I start in on the closet. What a mess! I’ve got boxes and bins full of stuff that need sorting. Finally, I have to vacuum the carpet and dust. Whew! Quite a job! Good thing I don’t have any drapes, just shades on the windows.

But I’m not done yet. It’s time to move on to the kitchen. I have a combination stove and oven, both of which I need to clean. I start with the fridge, though, which needs the most work. I take out the shelves and rinse them all off. Then I dump anything which has a passed its expiration date. Then its back to the stove, which I need to scrub clean of the grease and stains, and the same for the oven. Finally, I wash all the dirty dishes and put them in a dish rack next to the sink.

Spring cleaning is always a mixed bag for me. It’s a lot of work, but I also find things I’ve been missing for the past year! Maybe next time I’ll manage to do my spring cleaning in the spring.

  محتوای مخفی: Text 

Driving in a big city like L.A. can be so stressful. It sometimes feels like I’m doing battle just to get to the grocery store, much less across town. What is it about getting behind the wheel that brings out people’s aggressive side? The most mild-mannered mother of three turns into a race car driver when she gets on the road.

In L.A., people rely on the freeway to commute to their jobs or just to get around town. I think driving on the freeway has it’s good and bad. On the one hand, there are no stoplights and the speed limit is over 55 miles per hour so you can get somewhere in a flash. But, on the other hand, there are drawbacks, too. People like to gun their engines and cut off other cars to get ahead. The other day, I saw a guy in a Porshe get into the passing lane, race ahead of the Honda that was in front of him, and cut that person off. Then, the guy in the Honda tries to catch up to the Porshe. They’re both zipping in and out of traffic, almost causing an accident. They were speeding and changing lanes without looking or signalling. I was sure they were going to cause a big pile up.

As an alternate to the freeway, I sometimes take surface streets. Of course, surface streets have their drawbacks, too. If you have a long commute to work or school, it can take you ages to get there. There are stop signs, stop lights, and crosswalks to deal with. And, people sometimes tailgate if they think you’re not going fast enough. Now that I think about it, there’s sometimes even more congestion on surface streets than on the freeways!

There’s no getting around it living in L.A. We need better public transportation and more people to walk, bike, or rollerblade to work. But as the famous song goes, “Nobody Walks in L.A.” [by the Missing Persons]

Lucy: Well, I have a sticky situation at work and I wanted to get your input. You’re always so tactful.

Jeff: Thanks. I’m not sure I can help but I’ll give you my two cents.

Lucy: Well, it’s like this. There’s this guy I work with who is always making jokes about the boss. Don’t get me wrong. I like a good joke now and then, especially about the boss. But, sometimes he goes too far.

Jeff. What do you mean?

Lucy: Well, just the other day, he got a picture off the Internet and cut and pasted the boss’ head onto it. Let’s just say it was a very unflattering picture of him.

Jeff: Hmm. That’s really unprofessional, but it sounds harmless enough, if he kept it to himself or just showed it to a few friends.

Lucy: That’s just it. He didn’t keep it to himself. He attached the picture to an email and sent it to the entire company, including the top brass.

Jeff: You’re joking, right?

Lucy: No, I’m not. This is what I mean when I said he goes too far. He just doesn’t know when to quit.

Jeff: Is he a friend of yours?

Lucy: No, not really. But, I don’t want the guy to get fired. He’s actually a good person. He’s just clueless, that’s all.

Jeff: Well, that’s a tough one. Let me think about it. Maybe there’s a way to get him to cut it out before he gets fired.

Lucy: Thanks. I appreciate it.

Jeff: Oh, it’s no big deal. Let’s go get a bite to eat.

I’ve had a really busy day today. I rolled out of bed at around 7:00 AM, like every morning, and jumped in the shower. After brushing my teeth and shaving, I picked up my morning paper from the front sidewalk and started reading it. I like to eat breakfast when I read the paper, so I poured myself a bowl of cereal. At around 7:30, I went into my office and sat down to go over my to-do list. First, it was off to the post office to check my P.O. box. Then I went to the public library down the street to check out some books I’ve been meaning to read.

Next stop: the supermarket. My wife had given me a grocery list as long as your arm of things to pick up. I grabbed a shopping cart and got down to business. After I checked off everything on my list, I headed to the check out stand to pay for my items.

But I wasn’t done yet. I zipped over to the bank, where I had to make a deposit and withdraw some money from the ATM. Fortunately, the line wasn’t too long and I was able to get in and out quickly. My next stop was the pharmacy, where I needed to pick up my prescriptions. Finally, I headed home again. Now, I have to go to my real job!

ESLPod027-thinking about the past

  محتوای مخفی: Text 

I came across some good advice while reading this week. If you’re like me, you spend most of your time thinking about all of the things that are on your “to-do” list and you try to figure out how you’re going to do them all. Or, sometimes, I think about things that have already happened. Maybe I messed up my presentation at work or had a fight with my boyfriend. People dwell on these kinds of things all of the time.

The book I was reading made a very good point. If you’re constantly thinking about the past or the future, how can you enjoy the present? In other words, you’re making yourself unhappy by stressing out about things that you can’t control. At the same time, you’re missing what’s happening right now.

I know I do this all the time. For instance, I was at the movies this past weekend. I was with my good friend and we were seeing a movie we’ve had our eye on for weeks. I was looking forward to it and my friend and I were both in a great mood. Then, I saw someone across the theater who looked like my co-worker. It wasn’t her but it got me thinking. I thought about the report I had to do on Monday and how much I hated working on it. Then, I thought about my co-worker who wasn’t pulling her weight. The more I thought about it, the more angry I got. By the time the movie started, my mood had changed completely. I was stressed out.

Where did all of that thinking and worrying get me? Nowhere. My new resolution is to try to stop obsessing about the past and the future so much, and to just enjoy the here and now

But when I talk to a stranger or someone I don’t know very well, I’m always casting about, searching for something to talk about. Politics and religion are definitely taboo subjects, at least here in the United States. But you have to chat about something, otherwise there are these uncomfortable silences.

So we end up talking about—what else?—the weather. This usually begins with something like, “So, nice weather we’ve been having!” or “It sure is a warm one out there today.” Of course, we have to comment on the temperature. My favorite is, “It’s not the heat that’s so bad, it’s the humidity!” Actually, I think that’s true—I hate it most when it’s muggy outside.

Back in my home state of Minnesota, everyone is obsessed with the weather report! Every TV station has it’s own meteorologist with a high-tech radar giving you the 5 day forecast. They tell you when the temperature is rising or falling, what kind of clouds are moving in, and how cold the wind chill is.

My favorite quote about the weather comes from Mark Twain, who once said, that everybody talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it!

Yesterday, I was talking to an ex-colleague of mine who, quite frankly, has something of a big mouth. I bumped into him at the beach, where he was walking his dog. Anyway, as I was saying, he’s the kind of guy that’s always bad mouthing his co-workers. So he comes up to me and says, “Hey, Jeff. Long time, no see. What’ve you been up to?” “Ah, not much, “ I said. “Well, guess who I saw yesterday? John Robeson, the guy from accounting at Firth Industries. You remember him, the guy with big ears and and an ego to match.” It takes one to know one, I thought, but I kept it so myself. “Oh, really. How interesting,” I replied.

“Yeah, well, I hate to talk behind someone’s back, but ever since he and I had that falling out last year, I’ve never really cared for the guy.” “How come?” I asked. “Well, he’s a bit of a backstabber, always trying to outdo the other guy.” “I know what you mean,” I said. I knew at this point it was time to make my exit, otherwise, this guy would go on about John Robeson for the next 10 minutes. “What time do you have?” I asked him. “It’s quarter after five.” “Geez, already? Man, I’ve got to hit the road. I’m supposed to meet my brother at the pier in a few minutes. But, hey, it was sure good to see you again. You take care!” With that, I made my exit. I’ve got better things to do than to listen to him gripe all day.

I stopped by the drugstore last night on my way home from work. I had a few toiletries to pick up, as well as my prescription. Fortunately, the chain pharmacy where I go has a little bit of everything: food, greeting cards, magazines—it’s almost as big as a regular supermarket.

To begin with, I needed to get some medications for my allergies. I’ve got hay fever, so I’m sneezing up a storm every morning when I wake up. While I was at it, I also got some antacids and some Band-Aids. Now it was on to pick up my refill.

I stood in line for a few minutes before being waited on. Since it was not a new prescription, the pharmacist didn’t have do a consultation with me. I just gave the clerk my insurance card and she rang up the sale. Fortunately, I have a low co-pay, so my HMO foots most of the bill.

چند تا نکته به ذهنم اومد
اول اینکه این لینک ها ( کلا لینک های آپلود باز ) بعد از 1 ماه از آخرین دانلود حذف میشن ( زیاد نگران نباشید با این حساب حداقل 1 ماه بعد از تاریخ پست های زده شده وقت دارید ) ولی کلا اگه قصد دانلود دارید زودتر دست به کار بشید .
اینکه لینک ها حذف بشن به خاطر Free بودن اکانتم هست شاید تا اون موقع اکانتم پرمیوم شد :40::8:
این تاپیکو به دوستاتون معرفی کنید تا بالا بمونه و این مجموعه بی نظیر به دست همه برسه .
توی تاپیک قبلی در این موضوع هر قسمت 1 هفته طول می کشید تا نویسنده پست جدید بذاره بعد از قسمت 50 هم دیگه سر نزدن به تاپیک ... خلاصه واسه اینکه اون اتفاق نیوفته سرعت زیاد کردم .
در کل لذت ببرید

نه بابا اون تو تبلیغ های اول آپلود باز بود منم یه بار گولش رو خوردم الان اگه free باشه بعد 5 روز و اگه عضو باشی بعد 15 رو پاک میشه!

سلام :11:
خواهش می کنم :40:
مکالمات خیلی شمرده و آهسته هست بعلاوه اینکه در آخر اصطلاحات توضیح داده میشه ( این قسمت توضیح اصطلاحات متنش موجود نیست و فقط متن مکالمه هست ) در کل امتحان کنید مجموعه جالبیه .
12 تای اولشو من سراغ ندارم و فکر نمی کنم مهم باشه چون سریالی نیست و هر قسمت در مورد یه موضوعی حرف میزنه . به هر حال اگه فایلش به دستم رسید حتما قرار میدم
+ فایل متنی قسمت 12 تا 500 هم توی پست اول میذارم .

سلام
کجایی؟چرا ادامه نمیدی؟
کار جالبی بود

تاپیک قدیمیه که دارم بالا میکشم....
