I hope you are because I'm back with another speak English with me video.

我希望你準備好了，因為我又帶來了一段和我一起進行英語對話的影片。

Let's go over how it works real quick for the new people here.

如果你是新來的，我先快速講解一下。

So you will basically speak English with me.

基本上你要和我說英語。

We will have a dialogue where one line will be mine and the next one will be yours.

我們將進行對話，上一句是我的，下一句是你的。

I'm going to say my line and then you will read your line from the screen, out loud, as if you are answering me and then we switch.

我先說我的臺詞，然後你看著螢幕大聲讀出你的臺詞，就像你在回答我一樣，然後交換。

In today's video, we're diving into a spectacular conversation on the phone between a home owner and an electrician.

在今天的影片中，我們將深入瞭解一位業主和水電工在電話中的對話。

So find a comfortable and quiet place and get ready to switch on your speaking skills by repeating after me, responding to questions and even pausing the video to practice your lines and let's get started.

找一個舒適安靜的地方，準備好開啟你的英語口說能力，跟著我重複念，回答問題，甚至暫停影片來練習你的臺詞，讓我們開始吧。

So first, we will listen to the full dialogue and then proceed to the practicing part.

首先，我們要聽完整的對話，然後再進入練習部分。

Hi there.

Can you describe the problem you're experiencing?

I see.

Just make sure that the area around the outlets and electrical panel is clear.
