Natalie: Hello.

Sergio: Hi, could I speak to Natalie?

Natalie: This is she.

Sergio: Oh hi, this is Sergio. How are you?

Natalie: Good. How about you?

Sergio: I’m great. Uh, well, the reason I’m calling is I was wondering if you’d like to go out sometime?

Natalie: You mean on a date?

Sergio: Yeah, with me.

Natalie: I’d love to.

Sergio: Really? I mean, that’s great. I was thinking we could grab dinner on Friday and then see a movie. How does that sound?

Natalie: Oh, I already have plans for Friday.

Sergio: How about Saturday?

Natalie: I’m tied up on Saturday, too. I’m free tomorrow, though. I don’t suppose you want to go out tomorrow night?

Sergio: Sure, I can make it tomorrow. I’ll pick you up around 7:00. Is that okay?

Natalie: Yeah, that works for me. See you tomorrow at 7:00.

Sergio: I’m really looking forward to it.

Natalie: Me, too.

ESL是 English as a Second Language的所写，是专门给把英语作为第二门语言的学习者准备的英语学习资料。语速较慢，非常适合初学者。播客的录制者均为从事英语教学的美国本土教师，播客内容涉及倒各个方面。总之，是学习英语非常好的材料。

本博客，未知的味觉，为各位博友提供esl的播客内容，主要是原来的播客需要从ipod shop订阅，这样没有ipod帐户的朋友就不能享受倒到这经典的学习材料了；还有一个原因是使用iTune订阅后不及时更新。基于以上两点，也是给自己学习英文方便，我才把自己的博客改成了播客，具体订阅办法见：用podcast学英语，希望能对给位英语学习带来促进。

这次mp3的内容是介绍ESL，正好各位可以借此机会了解一下。下面是原文，建议听过几遍后再看。

Seeing a Specialist
I went to see my doctor because I had a nagging pain in my leg. After he examined me and ran some routine tests, he suggested that I go see a specialist. I made an appointment with Dr. Slope.

Dr. Slope: Good morning. How are you today?

Simon: I’m fine, Dr. Slope. My GP, Dr. Harding, referred me to you. He thought that you might be able to diagnose the problem with my leg.

Dr. Slope: Well, let’s take a look…Hmm…I want to order some tests but I think you may need surgery. It’s a simple procedure and it will relieve your pain.

Simon: So, it’s not a high risk operation?

Dr. Slope: No, not at all. It’s quite routine.

Simon: Are there any other treatment options?

Dr. Slope: Not that I’d recommend. This is the best course of treatment in my opinion.

I was really surprised by what Dr. Slope said. I really didn’t want to have surgery. I think I’d better get a second opinion before going under the knife.
