Bridging Routines: An Eikaiwa Lesson Transcript 6/26/09

You are here: Home / English School Articles / Bridging Routines: An Eikaiwa Lesson Transcript 6/26/09

(6/26/2009) Here it is, as best as I can recall, the cleanest example of bridging routines I’ve heard in quite a while. This lesson is: (Review) Routine 4, (Review) Routine 5, (Review) Routine 6.

Mr A: When did you get a call?
Mr B: I got a call on June 14th.
Mr A: What time did you get a call?
Mr B: I got a call at 12:40.
Mr A: Who was it from?
Mr B: My wife.
Mr A: What did she ask you to do?
Mr B: She asked me to buy dishes of dinner.
Mr A: What did you say?
Mr B: I said “Yes”.
Mr A: Really?
Mr B: (laughs) No. I said “Hai”
Mr A: What did you do next?
Mr B: I went to the Lawson’s.
Mr A: What did you look for?
Mr B: I looked for the bento section.
Mr A: Where did you find [it]?
Mr B: Beside the Magazines.
Mr A: What did you choose?
Mr B: I chose bento and chips and cookies.
Mr A: How much was it?
(Me) Again, please.
Mr A: How much… were they?
Mr B: They were… about… 1200 yen.
Mr A: What did you do before you left?
Mr B: I read a magazine.
Mr A: Did you go straight [to] home?
Mr B: Yes.
Mr A: Did you go by train?
Mr B: No.
Mr A: Did you go by car?
Mr B: No.
Mr A: How did you go [to] home?
Mr B: I walked.
Mr A: What time did you arrive at home?
Mr B: I arrived at about 1:15.
Mr A: What did you do next?
Mr B: I ate lunch with my wife.
Mr A: Where did you eat lunch?
Mr B: I ate lunch with my wife on the veranda.
Mr A: Oh. That’s nice.
Mr B: Edward, finished. Is that ok?

I was looking back at old posts from SSE Ohtsu coach (and new curriculum creator) Craig Drayton and found that he really liked posting transcripts of lessons, in an effort to share his ideas on how to run lessons. I found this extremely helpful when I was first learning how to use the Smith’s School of English curriculum, and so decided to put up a few similar posts. Hope they help and maybe you even get a laugh out of them. For more check out my previous post “Advice for Newlyweds” or Craig’s post “Item tips: Phrase lesson 2”

Edward, SSE Ohtsu
