EP36.對話軟件工程師

Асханада жұмыс істеймін. Бүгін таңертең бір азамат келді. Кассадағы кезегі жеткен соң «Менің артымда тұрған қыздың кофесін мен төлеп кетейін. Менен оған «Қайырлы күн!» тілей салыңызшы» деді. Ол кеткен соң қыз оның қылығына таң қалды. Көп ойланбастан өзінен кейін тұрған адамға ол да солай жақсылық жасағысы келді. Осылай бес адам бірінен соң бірінің кофесін төледі! Жақсы күн тілеймін! Жақсылықты көп жасайық!

I work in the canteen. A man came here this morning. As soon as it was his turn at the checkout, he said, "I'll pay for the coffee of the girl behind me. He asked me just say, " good afternoon!" to the woman. When he left, the girl was surprised by his behavior. Without thinking much, she wanted to do the same thing to the person standing after her. So five people paid for coffee one by one for each other! Have a good day! Let's do good things more!

Stories in Kazakh

In this episode you will listen to a story of doing "kind things". Жақсылық жасау

LUKE: Hello? Hi, Stephanie, how are things at the office?
STEPHANIE: Hi, Luke! How are you? Can you please stop and pick up 
extra paper for the computer printer?
LUKE: What did you say? Can you repeat that, please? Did you 
say to pick up ink for the printer? Sorry, the phone is 
cutting out.
STEPHANIE: Can you hear me now? No, I need more computer paper. 
Listen, I’ll text you exactly what I need. Thanks, Luke. 
Talk to you later.
LUKE: Thanks, Stephanie. Sorry, my phone has really bad
reception here.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• There are a few ways to express a lack of understanding and to request additional 
information. The most common ones are stated, but you can also say “Excuse me” or 
simply “I can’t hear you.” In a more formal situation, try saying “I’m sorry?” or “I beg 
your pardon?” (with a rising intonation).
• When asking someone to clarify information try saying Can you please repeat that? / 
Can you spell that for me? / Can you please write down the address for me?
• Cutting out describes a difficulty in understanding a caller due to poor cellphone 
reception. If you are having trouble understanding the caller, you can also say The 
line is breaking up / I am losing you. If the phone call is disconnected because of poor 
reception, you can say The call dropped.
• Talk to you later is the equivalent in a phone conversation of “See you later” in a 
regular, face-to-face conversation.
• Reception here means the availability of cellular service, the possibility to receive and 
give calls on a cellphone. Cellphone reception can be limited in remote areas, inside 
large buildings or underground (in the subway, for instance).

Day 7: Asking them to repeat

Idag tänkte jag berätta lite om min första kärlek, om den första killen jag blev kär i.

Okej, så jag träffade Markus i kyrkan. Och det jag fastnade så mycket för med just Markus var att han var så intelligent. Han kunde berätta om stjärnorna och planeterna och jag tyckte det var väldigt intressant att lyssna på.
