00:00.000 --> 00:02.640
down to Chinese, a modular approach.

00:02.640 --> 00:06.880
biographic information module unit 6, production tape 1.

00:08.680 --> 00:14.360
on the comprehension tape in this unit, you learn to understand questions and answers about the duration of a visit.

00:14.360 --> 00:18.480
before you go on to learn how to say these things, check your comprehension of them.

00:18.480 --> 00:20.880
put the following sentences into English.

00:20.880 --> 00:22.360
number 1

00:22.360 --> 00:23.960
你做多久?

00:26.400 --> 00:28.440
how long are you staying?

00:28.440 --> 00:30.440
我住一年

00:32.040 --> 00:34.040
I'm staying one year.

00:34.040 --> 00:35.720
number 2

00:35.720 --> 00:38.720
你太太在香港住多久?

00:41.480 --> 00:44.120
how long is your wife staying in Hong Kong?

00:44.120 --> 00:46.320
我想她住两天

00:48.720 --> 00:51.440
I think she's staying two days.

00:51.440 --> 00:53.120
number 3

00:53.120 --> 00:58.840
你想在台湾住多久?

00:58.840 --> 01:01.840
how long are you thinking of staying in Taiwan?

01:01.840 --> 01:06.840
我想住六个月.

01:06.840 --> 01:09.880
I'm thinking of staying six months.

01:09.880 --> 01:11.720
number 4

01:11.720 --> 01:16.080
你来了多久了?

01:16.080 --> 01:18.320
how long have you been here?

01:18.320 --> 01:23.320
我来了两个星期了.

01:23.320 --> 01:25.600
I've been here two weeks.

01:25.600 --> 01:27.040
number 5

01:27.040 --> 01:33.440
你从前来过吗?

01:33.440 --> 01:35.560
Have you ever been here before?

01:35.560 --> 01:40.440
我从前没来过.

01:40.440 --> 01:43.600
I haven't been here before.

01:43.600 --> 01:47.640
If you had any problems with these sentences, rerun the tape and work on them some more.

01:47.640 --> 01:52.400
If you understood them all, you should begin working on how to ask these questions and how to answer them.

01:52.400 --> 01:54.600
Listen to this exchange.

01:54.600 --> 01:56.240
你做多久?

01:56.240 --> 01:58.360
我住一年.

01:58.360 --> 02:00.840
repeat how long?

02:00.840 --> 02:03.840
多久?

02:03.840 --> 02:06.800
多久?

02:06.800 --> 02:09.600
多久?

02:09.600 --> 02:11.560
The phrase 多久?

02:11.560 --> 02:14.320
how long is similar to the phrase 多大?

02:14.320 --> 02:15.240
how old?

02:15.240 --> 02:18.280
in which 多 is a question word asking how much.

02:18.280 --> 02:21.240
repeat how long are you staying?

02:21.240 --> 02:25.240
你住多久?

02:25.240 --> 02:28.600
你住多久?

02:28.600 --> 02:32.760
You'll notice here that the verb to stay is a single verb 住.

02:32.760 --> 02:39.240
What we've been referring to as the verb 住在 to stay at is actually this verb 住 plus the verb 在.

02:39.240 --> 02:44.720
How do you say how long are you staying?

02:44.720 --> 02:47.840
你住多久?

02:47.840 --> 02:51.160
Try asking the question, how long are you staying again?

02:51.160 --> 02:55.760
This time you'll get a confirmation and a reply.

02:55.760 --> 02:58.000
你住多久?

02:58.000 --> 02:59.800
我住一年.

02:59.800 --> 03:02.360
again.

03:02.360 --> 03:04.440
你住多久?

03:04.440 --> 03:08.200
我住一年.

03:08.200 --> 03:11.800
Unlike most nouns in Chinese, the word for year 年

03:11.800 --> 03:14.160
doesn't need a measure word when used with numbers.

03:14.160 --> 03:16.200
repeat one year.

03:16.200 --> 03:19.000
一年.

03:19.000 --> 03:21.640
一年.

03:21.640 --> 03:24.200
一年.

03:24.200 --> 03:28.120
How would you say four years?

03:28.120 --> 03:30.960
四年.

03:30.960 --> 03:37.400
In English, when someone asks how long, you usually answer with the word for as in I'm staying for a week.

03:37.400 --> 03:44.080
In Chinese, the phrase telling how long follows the verb just as in English, but no extra word like for is needed.

03:44.080 --> 03:46.920
repeat I'm staying for one year.

03:46.920 --> 03:50.680
我住一年.

03:50.680 --> 03:54.400
我住一年.

03:54.400 --> 04:01.840
You'll remember that what we've been calling time phrases such as 明天 tomorrow come before the verb.

04:01.840 --> 04:05.320
他明天来, he's coming tomorrow.

04:05.320 --> 04:11.960
Now you see that what we will call duration phrases such as 一年 one year come after the verb.

04:11.960 --> 04:15.240
我住一年.I'm staying for one year.

04:15.240 --> 04:18.480
It's the difference between when and how long.

04:18.480 --> 04:22.440
When comes before the verb and how long comes after the verb.

04:22.440 --> 04:28.000
How do you say I'm staying one year?

04:28.000 --> 04:31.800
我住一年.

04:31.800 --> 04:33.960
Try answering the question yourself.

04:33.960 --> 04:36.840
Say that you're staying one year.

04:36.840 --> 04:40.960
你住多久?

04:40.960 --> 04:44.400
我住一年.

04:44.400 --> 04:49.240
Again,你住多久?

04:49.240 --> 04:54.280
我住一年.

04:54.280 --> 04:56.200
Mr. King is visiting Hong Kong.

04:56.200 --> 05:00.720
Listen to Mr. King answer a question about it.

05:00.720 --> 05:03.080
你太太住多久?

05:03.080 --> 05:05.560
她住两天.

05:05.560 --> 05:10.840
The word for day, 天, like the word for year, 年, doesn't need a measure word

05:10.840 --> 05:12.120
when used with numbers.

05:12.120 --> 05:14.040
Repeat two days.

05:14.040 --> 05:17.120
两天.

05:17.120 --> 05:20.480
两天.

05:20.480 --> 05:23.200
两天.

05:23.200 --> 05:26.240
Repeat she's staying two days.

05:26.240 --> 05:30.120
她住两天.

05:30.120 --> 05:33.320
她住两天.

05:33.320 --> 05:35.960
Now let's suppose that your wife is visiting Hong Kong.

05:35.960 --> 05:37.560
She's staying there two days.

05:37.560 --> 05:39.560
Try answering the next question.

05:39.560 --> 05:44.360
你太太住多久?

05:44.360 --> 05:46.880
她住两天.

05:46.880 --> 05:51.680
Again,你太太住多久?

05:51.680 --> 05:54.640
她住两天.

05:54.640 --> 05:57.680
What's the word for day?

05:57.680 --> 05:59.680
天.

05:59.680 --> 06:02.360
What's the word for year?

06:02.360 --> 06:05.280
年.

06:05.280 --> 06:09.520
Mr. King could have been asked about his wife's trip to Hong Kong in a more detailed way.

06:09.520 --> 06:11.400
Listen.

06:11.400 --> 06:14.640
你太太在香港住多久?

06:14.640 --> 06:17.240
我想她住两天.

06:17.240 --> 06:19.320
Repeat the word for Hong Kong.

06:19.320 --> 06:22.440
香港.

06:22.440 --> 06:25.720
香港.

06:25.720 --> 06:28.960
香港.

06:28.960 --> 06:32.640
In the question, how long is your wife staying in Hong Kong?

06:32.640 --> 06:35.280
你太太在香港住多久?

06:35.280 --> 06:39.800
The place phrase,在香港, is put before the verb 住.

06:39.800 --> 06:43.280
We can't put both the place and the duration after the verb.

06:43.280 --> 06:47.080
Repeat, how long is your wife staying in Hong Kong?

06:47.080 --> 06:53.480
你太太在香港住多久?

06:53.480 --> 06:57.000
你太太在香港住多久?

06:57.000 --> 06:59.760
Try asking, how long is your wife staying in Hong Kong?

06:59.760 --> 07:06.200
Ahead of the speaker.

07:06.200 --> 07:10.480
你太太在香港住多久?

07:10.480 --> 07:12.200
Try asking the question again.

07:12.200 --> 07:18.080
This time you'll get a confirmation and a reply.

07:18.080 --> 07:21.520
你太太在香港住多久?

07:21.520 --> 07:24.960
我想她住两天.

07:24.960 --> 07:26.520
Again.

07:26.520 --> 07:30.800
你太太在香港住多久?

07:30.800 --> 07:34.400
我想她住两天.

07:34.400 --> 07:37.640
Repeat the verb to think.

07:37.640 --> 07:40.480
想.

07:40.480 --> 07:43.400
想.

07:43.400 --> 07:47.040
想.

07:47.040 --> 07:50.240
Repeat, I think she's staying two days.

07:50.240 --> 07:54.280
我想她住两天.

07:54.280 --> 07:59.280
我想她住两天.

07:59.280 --> 08:04.560
Try answering the question yourself.

08:04.560 --> 08:06.840
Suppose your wife is visiting Hong Kong.

08:06.840 --> 08:08.640
You're not sure how long she's staying.

08:08.640 --> 08:11.520
It might be two days.

08:11.520 --> 08:17.640
你太太在香港住多久?

08:17.640 --> 08:21.720
我想她住两天.

08:21.720 --> 08:23.280
Again.

08:23.280 --> 08:29.560
你太太在香港住多久?

08:29.560 --> 08:32.560
我想她住两天.

08:32.560 --> 08:36.240
The next exchange talks about Mr. King's plans for staying in Taiwan.

08:36.240 --> 08:37.000
Listen.

08:37.000 --> 08:39.040
你想住多久?

08:39.040 --> 08:41.560
我想住一年.

08:41.560 --> 08:44.920
The verb想 can mean to think that.

08:44.920 --> 08:47.160
When used directly in front of another verb,

08:47.160 --> 08:51.440
it can also mean to be thinking of that is to plan to or to intend to.

08:51.440 --> 08:54.600
Repeat, I'm thinking of staying one year.

08:54.600 --> 08:58.960
我想住一年.

08:58.960 --> 09:01.920
我想住一年.

09:01.920 --> 09:04.440
Try responding to the question yourself now.

09:04.440 --> 09:08.320
Assume that you're in Taiwan and you intend to stay one year.

09:08.320 --> 09:12.480
你想住多久?

09:12.480 --> 09:15.600
我想住一年.

09:15.600 --> 09:16.640
Again.

09:16.640 --> 09:19.920
你想住多久?

09:19.920 --> 09:23.280
我想住一年.

09:23.280 --> 09:26.960
Listen as another visitor is asked how long he's staying.

09:26.960 --> 09:29.560
你想在台湾住多久?

09:29.560 --> 09:32.120
我想住八个月.

09:32.120 --> 09:34.360
Repeat the word for month.

09:34.360 --> 09:37.040
月.

09:37.040 --> 09:39.640
月.

09:39.640 --> 09:40.720
月.

09:40.720 --> 09:42.520
You'll notice that the word for month.

09:42.520 --> 09:44.240
月 does take a counter.

09:44.240 --> 09:47.640
哥,repeat eight months.

09:47.640 --> 09:50.400
八个月.

09:50.400 --> 09:53.520
八个月.

09:53.520 --> 09:56.320
八个月.

09:56.320 --> 09:59.800
Repeat, I'm thinking of staying eight months.

09:59.800 --> 10:04.040
我想住八个月.

10:04.040 --> 10:08.040
我想住八个月.

10:08.040 --> 10:09.920
Try answering the question yourself.

10:09.920 --> 10:12.960
Assume that you're staying in Taiwan eight months.

10:12.960 --> 10:15.360
你想在台湾住多久?

10:15.360 --> 10:17.720
我想住八个月.

10:17.720 --> 10:20.520
我想住八个月.

10:20.520 --> 10:21.760
Again.

10:21.760 --> 10:26.640
你想在台湾住多久?

10:26.640 --> 10:30.080
我想住八个月.

10:30.080 --> 10:33.520
Now you're asked about a friend who's come to Taiwan just for a visit.

10:33.520 --> 10:35.040
Listen.

10:35.040 --> 10:37.760
你朋友想住多久?

10:37.760 --> 10:40.840
他想住两个星期.

10:40.840 --> 10:43.080
Repeat the word for week.

10:43.080 --> 10:45.320
星期.

10:45.320 --> 10:47.320
星期.

10:47.320 --> 10:51.320
星期.

10:51.320 --> 10:55.320
Repeat, he's thinking of staying two weeks.

10:55.320 --> 11:00.320
他想住两个星期.

11:00.320 --> 11:04.320
他想住两个星期.

11:04.320 --> 11:11.320
Try saying he's thinking of staying two weeks ahead of the speaker.

11:11.320 --> 11:14.320
他想住两个星期.

11:14.320 --> 11:16.320
Try responding to the question now.

11:16.320 --> 11:18.320
Your friend is staying two weeks.

11:18.320 --> 11:23.320
你朋友想住多久?

11:23.320 --> 11:26.320
他想住两个星期.

11:26.320 --> 11:27.320
Again.

11:27.320 --> 11:32.320
你朋友想住多久?

11:32.320 --> 11:36.320
他想住两个星期.

11:36.320 --> 11:38.320
Here's a piece of a conversation.

11:38.320 --> 11:39.320
Listen.

11:39.320 --> 11:41.320
你想在台湾住多久?

11:41.320 --> 11:43.320
我想住三个星期.

11:43.320 --> 11:45.320
在香港呢?

11:45.320 --> 11:48.320
我想住十天.

11:48.320 --> 11:49.320
Now you try.

11:49.320 --> 11:52.320
You're being asked some questions about a trip of yours.

11:52.320 --> 11:57.320
You're thinking of staying three weeks in Taipei and ten days in Hong Kong.

11:57.320 --> 12:02.320
你想在台湾住多久?

12:02.320 --> 12:05.320
我想住三个星期.

12:05.320 --> 12:10.320
在香港呢?

12:10.320 --> 12:13.320
我想住十天.

12:13.320 --> 12:15.320
Try it again.

12:15.320 --> 12:20.320
你想在台湾住多久?

12:20.320 --> 12:22.320
我想住三个星期.

12:22.320 --> 12:26.320
在香港呢?

12:26.320 --> 12:30.320
我想住十天.

12:30.320 --> 12:33.320
So far you've expressed how long with future activities only.

12:33.320 --> 12:37.320
But what if you want to express how long something has taken so far?

12:37.320 --> 12:39.320
How long it's going to be going on?

12:39.320 --> 12:42.320
你来了多久了?

12:42.320 --> 12:45.320
我来了三天了.

12:45.320 --> 12:50.320
The first look coming right after the verb indicates completion of action.

12:50.320 --> 12:51.320
I have come.

12:51.320 --> 12:55.320
And the second look coming at the end of the sentence indicates the change up to the present.

12:55.320 --> 12:57.320
It's three days now.

12:57.320 --> 12:58.320
Repeat.

12:58.320 --> 13:00.320
I've been here for three days.

13:00.320 --> 13:05.320
我来了三天了.

13:05.320 --> 13:08.320
我来了三天了.

13:08.320 --> 13:14.320
The double look construction is used when you're talking about an action started in the past and still going on.

13:14.320 --> 13:19.320
How do you say I've been here three days?

13:19.320 --> 13:23.320
我来了三天了.

13:23.320 --> 13:25.320
Try responding to the question.

13:25.320 --> 13:27.320
How long have you been here?

13:27.320 --> 13:29.320
Say that you've been here for three days.

13:29.320 --> 13:33.320
你来了多久了?

13:33.320 --> 13:37.320
我来了三天了.

13:37.320 --> 13:42.320
你来了多久了?

13:42.320 --> 13:47.320
我来了三天了.

13:47.320 --> 13:48.320
Let's review a bit.

13:48.320 --> 13:51.320
Duration phrases go after the verb.

13:51.320 --> 13:55.320
To talk about the duration of something still going on, use two laws.

13:55.320 --> 13:58.320
One right after the verb and one at the end of the sentence.

13:58.320 --> 14:02.320
Try putting the following English sentences into Chinese.

14:02.320 --> 14:07.320
I've been here three months.

14:07.320 --> 14:10.320
我来了三个月了.

14:10.320 --> 14:14.320
I'm staying one year.

14:14.320 --> 14:17.320
我住一年.

14:17.320 --> 14:22.320
I've been here a week.

14:22.320 --> 14:26.320
我来了一个星期了.

14:26.320 --> 14:29.320
She's been here two days.

14:29.320 --> 14:33.320
她来了两天了.

14:33.320 --> 14:37.320
She's staying two days.

14:37.320 --> 14:40.320
她住两天.

14:40.320 --> 14:45.320
I'm thinking of staying four months.

14:45.320 --> 14:48.320
我想住四个月.

14:48.320 --> 14:52.320
I've been here for three weeks.

14:52.320 --> 14:57.320
我来了三个星期了.

14:57.320 --> 15:00.320
If you want to talk about how long something lasted in the past,

15:00.320 --> 15:02.320
that is the duration of something completed,

15:02.320 --> 15:04.320
you use a different pattern.

15:04.320 --> 15:07.320
Listen as Mr. King talks about his wife staying in Hong Kong.

15:07.320 --> 15:10.320
She's back in Taiwan now.

15:10.320 --> 15:13.320
你太太在香港住了多久?

15:13.320 --> 15:15.320
她住了两天.

15:15.320 --> 15:18.320
There's only one marker Lu in this sentence.

15:18.320 --> 15:20.320
We're talking about completed action here.

15:20.320 --> 15:22.320
The activity is no longer happening.

15:22.320 --> 15:25.320
There's no need for the new situation Lu at the end of the sentence.

15:25.320 --> 15:28.320
Repeat, she stayed two days.

15:28.320 --> 15:33.320
她住了两天.

15:33.320 --> 15:38.320
她住了两天.

15:38.320 --> 15:41.320
To indicate that you're talking about the duration of something that is over,

15:41.320 --> 15:42.320
no longer happening,

15:42.320 --> 15:45.320
place the marker Lu directly after the verb.

15:45.320 --> 15:51.320
How do you say she stayed two days?

15:51.320 --> 15:55.320
她住了两天.

15:55.320 --> 15:58.320
I'm responding to a question about your wife staying in Hong Kong.

15:58.320 --> 16:01.320
Say she stayed two days.

16:01.320 --> 16:06.320
你太太在香港住了多久?

16:06.320 --> 16:10.320
她住了两天.

16:10.320 --> 16:12.320
Again,

16:12.320 --> 16:18.320
你太太在香港住了多久?

16:18.320 --> 16:21.320
她住了两天.

16:21.320 --> 16:24.320
In this next exchange someone is talking about his trip

16:24.320 --> 16:26.320
and how long he stayed in each place.

16:26.320 --> 16:28.320
Listen.

16:28.320 --> 16:30.320
你在台北住了多久?

16:30.320 --> 16:32.320
我住了三个星期.

16:32.320 --> 16:34.320
在香港呢?

16:34.320 --> 16:37.320
我住了十天.

16:37.320 --> 16:38.320
Now you try it.

16:38.320 --> 16:41.320
Say that you stayed in Taipei for three weeks

16:41.320 --> 16:43.320
and in Hong Kong for ten days.

16:43.320 --> 16:47.320
你在台北住了多久?

16:47.320 --> 16:50.320
我住了三个星期.

16:50.320 --> 16:54.320
在香港呢?

16:54.320 --> 16:56.320
我住了十天.

16:56.320 --> 16:58.320
Try it again.

16:58.320 --> 17:02.320
你在台北住了多久?

17:02.320 --> 17:04.320
我住了三个星期.

17:04.320 --> 17:08.320
在香港呢?

17:08.320 --> 17:13.320
我住了十天.

17:13.320 --> 17:15.320
Now two of you said this which talk about how long

17:15.320 --> 17:18.320
either for future events or events which are still taking place

17:18.320 --> 17:21.320
or events which are completely in the past.

17:21.320 --> 17:23.320
I'll give you some English sentences

17:23.320 --> 17:24.320
and you put them into Chinese.

17:24.320 --> 17:26.320
Let's start.

17:26.320 --> 17:30.320
I'm staying one year.

17:30.320 --> 17:34.320
我住一年.

17:34.320 --> 17:37.320
I stayed one year.

17:37.320 --> 17:41.320
我住了一年.

17:41.320 --> 17:44.320
I've been here one year.

17:44.320 --> 17:49.320
我来了一年了.

17:49.320 --> 17:53.320
She stayed one week.

17:53.320 --> 17:57.320
她住了一个星期.

17:57.320 --> 18:01.320
He's staying two days.

18:01.320 --> 18:04.320
他住两天.

18:04.320 --> 18:08.320
He stayed three months.

18:08.320 --> 18:11.320
他住了三个月.

18:11.320 --> 18:15.320
He's been here for three months.

18:15.320 --> 18:19.320
他来了三个月.

18:19.320 --> 18:21.320
Here's a familiar exchange.

18:21.320 --> 18:22.320
Listen.

18:22.320 --> 18:23.320
他来了吗?

18:23.320 --> 18:26.320
来了.他来了.

18:26.320 --> 18:28.320
Earlier in this module,

18:28.320 --> 18:29.320
we said 他来了.

18:29.320 --> 18:31.320
means she's come.

18:31.320 --> 18:34.320
Where the marker 喽 is interpreted as both the completed action marker

18:34.320 --> 18:36.320
and the new situation marker.

18:36.320 --> 18:39.320
But there's another way to interpret this sentence.

18:39.320 --> 18:40.320
And that's with only one 喽.

18:40.320 --> 18:42.320
the completed action marker.

18:42.320 --> 18:46.320
In this case,the sentence 他来了 is interpreted as

18:46.320 --> 18:49.320
she did come the action being over.

18:49.320 --> 18:52.320
Let's say that you had a party at your place a week ago.

18:52.320 --> 18:55.320
Now a friend who couldn't make it is asking who did come.

18:55.320 --> 18:57.320
The person she's asking about did come.

18:57.320 --> 19:02.320
Answer the question 他来了吗?

19:02.320 --> 19:06.320
来了.他来了.

19:06.320 --> 19:09.320
Now she asks about someone who didn't come.

19:09.320 --> 19:11.320
林小姐来了吗?

19:11.320 --> 19:14.320
没来.她没来.

19:14.320 --> 19:18.320
As you remember,the advert May negates actions in the past.

19:18.320 --> 19:21.320
Repeat,no,she didn't come.

19:21.320 --> 19:26.320
没来.她没来.

19:26.320 --> 19:29.320
没来.她没来.

19:29.320 --> 19:31.320
Try answering the question yourself.

19:31.320 --> 19:34.320
Miss Lin didn't come.

19:34.320 --> 19:38.320
林小姐来了吗?

19:38.320 --> 19:41.320
没来.她没来.

19:41.320 --> 19:46.320
Again.林小姐来了吗?

19:46.320 --> 19:49.320
没来.她没来.

19:49.320 --> 19:51.320
Now let's turn to another topic.

19:51.320 --> 19:54.320
Listen.你从前来过吗?

19:54.320 --> 19:57.320
我从前没来过.

19:57.320 --> 20:00.320
Repeat the word for formerly or before.

20:00.320 --> 20:05.320
从前.从前.

20:05.320 --> 20:08.320
从前.

20:08.320 --> 20:10.320
As with other adverbs telling when,

20:10.320 --> 20:13.320
the word从前 goes before the verb.

20:13.320 --> 20:16.320
Repeat,have you ever been here before?

20:16.320 --> 20:20.320
你从前来过吗?

20:20.320 --> 20:24.320
你从前来过吗?

20:24.320 --> 20:29.320
The marker 过 after the verb lie carries the meaning of having ever had the experience of.

20:29.320 --> 20:31.320
It directly follows the verb.

20:31.320 --> 20:34.320
Repeat,have you ever been here before?

20:34.320 --> 20:40.320
你从前来过吗?

20:40.320 --> 20:42.320
Try asking the question yourself.

20:42.320 --> 20:47.320
You get a confirmation and a reply.

20:47.320 --> 20:49.320
你从前来过吗?

20:49.320 --> 20:54.320
我从前没来过.Again.

20:54.320 --> 20:56.320
你从前来过吗?

20:56.320 --> 20:59.320
我从前没来过.

20:59.320 --> 21:04.320
Notice that negating a sentence with 过 adds 没 before the verb and keeps the 过.

21:04.320 --> 21:10.320
While,as you remember,the negation of a sentence with 了 adds 没 before the verb and drops the 了.

21:10.320 --> 21:13.320
Repeat,I've never been here before.

21:13.320 --> 21:21.320
我从前没来过.

21:21.320 --> 21:23.320
Try responding to the question yourself.

21:23.320 --> 21:25.320
Say that you've never been here before.

21:25.320 --> 21:28.320
你从前来过吗?

21:28.320 --> 21:34.320
我从前没来过.Again.

21:34.320 --> 21:38.320
你从前来过吗?

21:38.320 --> 21:42.320
我从前没来过.

21:42.320 --> 21:46.320
Listen to this exchange as Mr. King talks about being in Taiwan.

21:46.320 --> 21:50.320
王先生,你来了多久了?

21:50.320 --> 21:52.320
我来了一个月了.

21:52.320 --> 21:54.320
你从前来过吗?

21:54.320 --> 21:56.320
我从前没来过.

21:56.320 --> 21:58.320
你想住多久?

21:58.320 --> 22:01.320
我想住一年.

22:01.320 --> 22:04.320
Now you try it. Take the part of Mr. King.

22:04.320 --> 22:06.320
You've been in Taiwan for a month now.

22:06.320 --> 22:08.320
You've never been there before.

22:08.320 --> 22:10.320
And you're thinking of staying one year.

22:10.320 --> 22:16.320
王先生,你来了多久了?

22:16.320 --> 22:18.320
我来了一个月了.

22:18.320 --> 22:22.320
你从前来过吗?

22:22.320 --> 22:24.320
我从前没来过.

22:24.320 --> 22:29.320
你想住多久?

22:29.320 --> 22:34.320
我想住一年.Try it again.

22:34.320 --> 22:39.320
王先生,你来了多久了?

22:39.320 --> 22:41.320
我来了一个月了.

22:41.320 --> 22:45.320
你从前来过吗?

22:45.320 --> 22:48.320
我从前没来过.

22:48.320 --> 22:51.320
你想住多久?

22:51.320 --> 22:54.320
我想住一年.

22:54.320 --> 22:56.320
Now let's review what we've covered on this tape.

22:56.320 --> 23:00.320
I'll give you some sentences in English and you put them into Chinese.

23:00.320 --> 23:02.320
Number one.

23:02.320 --> 23:06.320
Have you ever been here before?

23:06.320 --> 23:10.320
你从前来过吗?

23:10.320 --> 23:13.320
I haven't been here before.

23:13.320 --> 23:16.320
我从前没来过.

23:16.320 --> 23:18.320
Number two.

23:18.320 --> 23:23.320
I'm thinking of staying in Taiwan.

23:23.320 --> 23:28.320
你想在台湾住多久?

23:28.320 --> 23:32.320
I'm thinking of staying eight months.

23:32.320 --> 23:36.320
我想住八个月.

23:36.320 --> 23:38.320
Number three.

23:38.320 --> 23:42.320
How long have you been here?

23:42.320 --> 23:45.320
你来了多久了?

23:45.320 --> 23:49.320
I've been here three weeks.

23:49.320 --> 23:53.320
我来了三个星期了.

23:53.320 --> 23:54.320
Number four.

23:54.320 --> 23:59.320
How long did your wife stay in Hong Kong?

23:59.320 --> 24:05.320
你太太在香港住了多久?

24:05.320 --> 24:09.320
She stayed two days.

24:09.320 --> 24:13.320
她住了两天.

24:13.320 --> 24:17.320
How long are you staying?

24:17.320 --> 24:20.320
你住多久?

24:20.320 --> 24:23.320
I'm staying one year.

24:23.320 --> 24:28.320
我住一年.

24:28.320 --> 24:31.320
This is the end of the tape.

24:31.320 --> 24:44.320
This is the end of the biographic information module unit six production tape one.
