Lesson 5: speaking

checking out the new movie, filming my vaca, following a healthy diet, handing out flyers describing our business, increasing my work load, introducing myself to him, launching a new website, moving to a new city, offering her the position, opening up a store

that player will get trade, she cheated on him,  they are going to get married, you like to paint, show is going to end, he is going to get a raise, your sister got in trouble, she goes to our gym, he will not return,  it happened while texting, 

3.I'm here to...

apply for the job, take a test, receive my gift, support all your decisions,  watch a movie, work on your computer, welcome you to the neighborhood, raise awareness for cancer, start the job, receive the award

complete, share with you, important to tell you, encourage you, explain to you, special planned for your birthday, else to consider,  to apologize about,  to attend tonight,  to ask you,  fun for us to do, 

5.Thank you for...

inviting me, helping me move,  informing me about the job opening, mailing that package for me, working so hard, stopping by to visit, replying to my email, providing me with the answers, heating up dinner,  hurrying to get here

6.Let's say that....

you love to fish, we found it,  we enjoy being with them, we had a good time,  it's hard to decide, we have to go, we can host, I have to work,  the movie was really good

7.That's why...

people admire you, she appears so happy, babies crawl before they can walk, Pam cries at sad movies,you fail to understand, you help out people in need, you try and include everyone, you lock your doors when you leave home, she smiles when you walk by, you use it for emergencies

8.The point is that...

if you study you will do well in school, she does not understand, we need this done today, the world would be a better place, we should help, snakes can be dangerous, leaving a baby alone is not a good idea, if we do not leave now we will be late, she needs to be more responsible, we need to work together

I forgot your birthday, we both belong to the same gym, we enjoy a lot of the same things, the price for homes are more expensive here, eating healthy makes me feel better
