In this episode, you will hear a story about two persons' experience of going to a Chinatowm. Thank you for listening to it.

一天，小王的女朋友小平说她想去中国城吃中国饭。小王就开车带小平去中国城。可是，小王从来没去过中国城，他不知道去中国城怎么走，所以小平拿了一张地图告诉小王怎么走。过了二十分钟，他们到了一个地方，在这个地方他们考到了很多中国字，他们想这个地方就是中国城。他们停车问一个人，“你知道中国饭店在哪儿吗？” 那个人说：”这里是小东京，没有中国饭店。“这个时候，他们才知道他们走错了地方，这里不是中国城。小平非常不高兴，因为她只想吃中国菜，不想吃日本菜。

Episode #63 - How metal music helps our health

Life changing story about the value of life!

Wise English 

The value of your Life! 

JOHN: Hi, Alice, it’s John. How are you? 
ALICE: Oh, hi, John! I was just thinking about you.
JOHN: That’s nice. I was wondering if you’d like to go to a 
movie tonight.
ALICE: Sure, I’d love to! What’s playing?
JOHN: I was thinking about that new comedy Lights Out. What do
you think?
ALICE: Sounds great!
JOHN: OK, I’ll pick you up around 7:30. The movie starts at 8:00.
ALICE: See you then. Bye!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hi, Alice, it’s John: Hi, ____, it’s ____ is a casual and friendly way to say hello on the 
phone. Although “it’s” means “it is,” it is used to mean “I am” here.
• Oh, hi, John! Notice the rising intonation here. Alice is excited to hear from John and is 
very pleased that he called her.
• I was wondering if you’d like to ... This is a polite and indirect way of asking “Do you 
want to …?” John is nervous and does not want to appear too direct or bold. Notice 
how the question goes up at the end, which shows that he is not overly confident.
• Sure! I’d love to means “Yes, I would love to.” Notice that Alice is very enthusiastic 
and friendly. She wants John to feel comfortable about asking her out on a date.
• I was thinking about … / What do you think? Again, John does not want to appear 
too bold. He wants to give Alice a chance to suggest a movie.
• Sounds great! Is an informal way of saying “That is a good plan.”
• I’ll pick you up is an informal way of saying “I’ll come to your house so that we can 
go together.”
