Taipei International Book Exhibition (MP3 at teacherbill.com)

Bill: Okay, Bryan and I are here at the Taipei International Book Exhibition, and it’s the last day of the Book Exhibition. So—just wanted to show everybody a little bit of the exciting times here. And, uh, there’s been a lot of people come here all weekend, and to see our books and magazines. Um, it’s been a good time, and we’ve had a chance to say hello to many students. And, uh, what about you Bryan?
Bryan: Yeah, it’s been an exciting time, it’s been good to see people get excited about the different products, and to learn more about how to study—how to study.
Bill: Alright. Well, speaking of how to study, one of the questions I get asked all the time Bryan, is “How can people improve their English?” Now which—give me one idea.
Bryan: Okay, one idea is to imitate or mimic the sounds of an English teacher, like Bill. And a good way to do that is to get the Super (guan-tia), the Super CD-ROM. You can listen to Bill, and you can speak along with him—you can imitate his voice. That’s a good way.
Bill: Okay, very good. And you often hear Bryan on the Studio Classroom MP3, and Lisa, who is our camera person right now. So, one other idea I’ve got for student, I wanna tell people is, if you have a chance, join, like, an organization at a university, or a club that, uh, all universities have English clubs or things like that. Or even a speech group, like Toastmasters International.
Okay, well thanks Bryan, for joining me.
Bryan: Thank you.
Bill: Thanks everybody for joining us—live from the Taipei International Book Exhibition, Bryan and Bill.
Both: Bye Bye!
