Asking Questions (2)
RUTH: Hello and welcome to the second programme in the series 'Say it
Again'. My name is Ruth. I was here last week . As we go
on in this new series 'Say it Again', I am looking forward to
getting to know you as well as Aries who was here with me last
week. Aries is here to answer my questions, and to 'Say it Again'.
Aries, can you remind me what last week's programme was all
about?
ARIES: Yes, it was all about asking questions. We found out a few ways
of asking personal questions. Ones that we would need in
getting to know someone. Maybe I could hear again the story we
heard last week, to remind me of what happened.
Conversation
RUTH: Has that helped Aries?
ARIES: Yes Ruth, I remember now. We were talking about asking
questions to find out about someone. Those two men were
beginning to find out different things about each other. They
asked questions about what books they liked. They also talked
about sports.
RUTH: Yes, they started their conversation by asking each other very
polite questions. Today, I'd like to think of some more questions
that they could go on to ask each other. What question do you
think Stephen, the first man to speak in our drama, could go on to
ask?
ARIES: I think they might go on to talk about their jobs. Stephen could
ask 'Would you mind telling me where you work?'
RUTH: Yes, Stephen could also ask about where his new friend went to
school, or maybe even where he works.
RUTH: We could practice answering different kinds of questions. I'll
ask you some questions that I think two people might ask each
other. Why don't you say them again after me with Aries. 'I
was wondering if you could help me?'
ARIES: 'I was wondering if you could help me?'
RUTH: Here's another question they might have asked each other. Say it
again with Aries after me. 'Where do you go to buy your sports
equipment?'
ARIES: 'Where do you go to buy your sports equipment?' I can imagine
the two men having a very long conversation about that question.
RUTH: I think you're right Aries....Why don't you practice these two
questions with your friends this week. Maybe you can think of
more questions you'll like to ask them.
If you wanted to ask someone something more personal, maybe
you'd ask about their family. People like to talk about their
families. Maybe someone could ask you where your family
comes from. Families are very important in all of our lives. It's
very special being loved by your family. A good way to begin to
find out about someone's family would be by saying, 'I hope you
don't mind my asking, but I'd like to know how many brothers you
have?' That is a very polite way of asking a question. Let me
ask it to you. 'Aries, I hope you don't mind my asking, but I'd
like to know about your family?'
ARIES: I don't mind answering your question Ruth, I'd love to tell you
about my family.
RUTH: How many brothers and sisters do you have?
ARIES: I have two elder sisters.
RUTH: Could you tell me their names?
ARIES: Yock Peng and Su Wee.
RUTH: And where do they live?
ARIES: They are staying together. They are not married.
RUTH: And then, do they work?
ARIES: Yes, both of them are working. My elder sister is working as a
property agent. She travels quite frequently recently for her job
and my second sister is a secretary.
RUTH: So has the sister who has traveled ever come to England?
ARIES: No, they didn't come here before.
RUTH: But do you write to them and tell them about your experiences?
ARIES: Yes, I do. I write quite long letters and quite frequently to them.
RUTH: And does the rest of your family live near to you?
ARIES: No.
RUTH: So would you have to travel a long way to go visit them?
ARIES: Yes, we have to.
RUTH: It is always good to find out about people. That's how you
become friends. Over the coming weeks, we'll be finding out
more from Aries, about the differences she is finding between life
here in England and her home country. We are also finding out
about different people from all around the world. Do you
remember last week we heard about Kim Hyun Hee of Korea?
In this week's true story, Matthew is reading Hong Gi Yi's story.
Hong Gi Ye lives in Korea also.
Story Testimony
"It happened almost before I could think. I felt myself falling, falling from a great
height. I felt great pain as my body hit the ground. What was happening to me?
Accidents do happen and this was the worst one that ever happened to me. When I
arrrived at hospital, the doctors were amazed that after such a high fall, I was still
alive. The doctors tried all they could to heal the wounds on my head, but they
found that after each treatment, my head seemed no better. After some time,
someone came to me and told me of a place where they were seeing people being
healed. My friends were sure that this would be the answer for me. While I was
at that place, I was told all about the Living God and the way that He healed people.
I began to speak to God in prayer and asked Him for His help in healing my head
wounds. I also began to realize that this God could, by the death and resurrection
of His son Jesus Christ, forgive me my sins. I was very scared as I began to
remove the heavy bandages that covered my head. I looked into the mirror and I
was amazed that the wounds on my head had gone! My entire head was healed!
I began to praise God - I was healed! It had happened to me just as my friends had
said, God heals today."
ARIES: I like hearing about different people. It's amazing the true stories
that people have to tell.
RUTH: Before we finish today's programme, let me repeat some of the
questions we've heard today. Aries will repeat them after me.
Why don't you repeat them with her? 'I hope you don't mind me
asking?'
ARIES: 'I hope you don't mind me asking?'
RUTH: 'How many brothers or sisters do you have?'
ARIES: 'How many brothers or sisters do you have?'
RUTH: All these questions will help you to find out about your new friend.
Why don't you practice saying these questions this week? Next
week will be more chance for you to 'Say it Again.' We hope
you've enjoyed today's programme. Next, we'll be looking at
how to say 'I'm sorry 'and how to use the word 'no' politely. But
please say 'yes' to joining us again next week. Aries and I would
love to have you with us.
BOTH: Good-bye.
