ESL Podcast - Previous Episodes show

Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:17 Explanations: 2:49 Fast dialogue: 12:32 Ingrid: I don’t mind lending you my camera for the trip, but first, let me show you how to use it. Deng: No need to do that. I took a photography class in high school, and I pretty much know all there is to know about taking pictures. Ingrid: Wasn’t that a long time ago? This is a digital camera with some new features. For instance, this camera has auto zoom, image stabilization, and a memory card. Deng: It can’t be that different from the camera I used 15 years ago. This looks like a point-and-shoot. You look through the viewer and push the button, right? Ingrid: Well, not quite. You can adjust the flash and shutter speed, see? You can also attach a lens for wide-angle or close-up shots. You can even review your photos, saving the ones you like or deleting the ones you don’t want anymore. Deng: Okay, I got it. By the way you’re talking, you’d think I was born yesterday. Just show me where to load the film! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
