Friend wants to buy a car - English Conversation
TEENA: Ronny,
what happened to you? You didn't
come to office yesterday. I called and
your phone was switched off.
RONNY: Actually my car broke down on the way.
TEENA: You could have come late.
RONNY: You know the nature of boss. He might have spoilt my day further.
TEENA: But why didn't you call, and why was your
phone switched off.
RONNY: Actually I was very upset. It took me three hours to get the car
repaired. I was in no mood to
communicate to anybody in the office.
After some time my phone got out of battery.
TEENA: Your car often breaks down. Why don't you buy a new one?
RONNY: Due to urgent family expenses I am short of
money.
TEENA: It is not difficult. Buy in installments. Sell your old car. Use that money as down payment.
RONNY: Can you suggest me a good car?
TEENA: You can go for Ritz. It is a wonderful small car - good mileage
and good performance.
RONNY: I can consider. But I have to think, as I am going
financially tight you know.
TEENA: Don't think too much, otherwise you will
keep spending money on your old car. It
may also be consuming too much patrol.
RONNY: Yes it is true. I think I should buy.
TEENA: I shall lend you some money if you need.
RONNY: Oh Teen, you are really a good friend.
Best Institute of Spoken English in Delhi
Delhi has become the
biggest place in India to get education.
Not only people of various states of India but from many other countries
also come to this city to join colleges and training centers.
Due to economic
revolution and globalization of business the importance of English has risen
manifold. To fulfill the need of the
people training centers of English are mushrooming all over the city. You will rarely find a road in Delhi without
an institute of English language.
MOST CENTERS TEACH
BAD ENGLISH
But most of the
training centers are being run by incompetent and incapable persons. Joining such a center may not be good for
your career. But finding a good center
is also a herculean task.
This reporter
visited a large number of institutes and found that most of the centers are
teaching incorrect English. They fool
the students with different tactics to take admissions and make money.
PROMINENT ENGLISH
TRAINING CENTERS
Prominent English
learning centers in Delhi are British Council , Inlingua, Veta, Wabs, BSL, and
Bafel. Most of other training
institutes are not competent enough to impart valuable training.
Even very
intelligent students of big institutes were found speaking incorrect
English. Big and reputed centers are
also more interested in making money with high fee structure. Remember,
only a big name does not guarantee quality coaching.
Actually it is not
easy to teach good English in a short term course. A person can become efficient in English
language only after years of hard work. But due to stiff competition institutes are compelled to lure students
with short-term courses.
THE BEST OF THEM IS WABS TALK
It is not easy to
decide. Still I found that WABS, though
not as big as many others, is rising
ahead in quality coaching. Most of the
students I talked to were very satisfied with the coaching. The fee too is very reasonable. But, it has regular training centers only in
West Delhi. Website: WabsTalk.com

Star Trek fans crushed NASA's space song in poll
NASA is currently running an online poll to let the public choose two wake-up songs to be played to the crew of flight STS-133, due to launch on November 1. In which, Alexander Courage's Star Trek Theme Song is currently leading the way with 400,000 votes.
Voters can choose from 40 tracks played to previous NASA crews, including galactic-themed pop songs like Frank Sinatra's recording of Fly Me To The Moon and Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles.
But the most popular choice so far is unlikely to have appeared in any singles charts.
Alexander Courage's Star Trek Theme Song is currently leading the way with 400,000 votes. Its sci-fi flick rival, Theme From Star Wars Trilogy by John Williams, has just 10,000.
