Vocabulary
.
I'm
Neal
,
very
smart

Why
are
you
wearing
a
suit
and
you're
looking
very
smart
for
work
?
Well

yes
,
you're
right
.
I
am
wearing
a
suit
because
I'm
going
to
a
wedding
at
one
o'clock
.
Very
good
.
I
love
weddings
.
I
love
weddings
,
too
.
I'm
going
to
another
one
on
Saturday
.
Fantastic
meal
and
art
and
on
are
two
of
the
words
we're
discussing
in
today's
program
.
Yes
.
Because
we're
talking
about
time
expressions
within
on
and
at
.
We'll
explain
why
we
say
at
one
o'clock
,
but
on
Saturday
.
Yes
.
And
we'll
give
you
lots
of
examples
.
Let's
start
by
listening
to
Mike
and
Rob
.
They're
trying
to
find
a
time
to
meet
up
.
Think
about
this
question
while
you
listen
.
What
time
can
Rob
meet
Mike
?
How
about
lunch
on
Monday
,
Rob
?
Well
,
I've
got
a
meeting
at
11
thirty
,
OK
?
Are
you
free
?
On
Tuesday
,
the
engineers
coming
at
lunchtime
,
the
washing
machines
flooded
again
.
It
happened
at
Easter
,
too
.
Well
,
what
are
you
doing
in
the
afternoon
?
Sorry
,
I'm
playing
football
,
OK
.
Perhaps
we
could
meet
in
the
pub
on
Saturday
evening
.
We've
got
guests
at
the
weekend
.
How
about
this
afternoon
at
two
thirty
.
So
we
asked
you
what
time
can
Rob
meet
Mike
?
And
the
answer
is
at
230
.
When
we
say
a
particular
time
on
the
clock
,
we
use
at
.
So
we
say
at
two
thirty
at
three
o'clock
.
We
also
use
at
and
other
time
expressions
.
Listen
out
for
them
in
this
clip
.
How
about
lunch
on
Monday
,
Rob
?
Well
,
I've
got
a
meeting
at
eleven
thirty
,
OK
.
Are
you
free on
Tuesday
,
the
engineers
coming
at
lunchtime
,
the
washing
machines
flooded
again
.
It
happened
to
Easter
to
.
So
Rob
had
a
meeting
at
11
,
30
,
it's
art
because
it's
a
time
.
That's
right
.
We
also
heard
at
lunchtime
we
use
at
with
particular
points
during
the
day
like
meal
times
.
So
it's
at
breakfast
,
at
lunch
,
at
dinner
.
And
also
we
say
at
noon
,
at
midnight
.
Now
,
Rob
said
his
washing
machine
flooded
at
Easter
.
We
use
that
to
talk
about
a
special
day
or
group
of
days
.
So
it's
at
Easter
,
at
new
year
,
at
Christmas
.
So
that's
at
.
Now
,
let's
look
at
on
we
use
on
with
days
of
the
week
.
So
on
Monday
,
on
Tuesday
,
we
also
use
on
with
specific
dates
on
the
3rd
of
May
,
on
June
the
20th
.
And
we
use
on
with
specific
days
on
Christmas
Day
.
On
Easter
Sunday
.
On
my
birthday
.
That's
right
.
But
remember
,
it's
at
Easter
.
At
Christmas
when
we
are
referring
to
the
general
time
period
.
Good
.
Now
,
let's
listen
to
another
clip
with
more
time
expressions
.
This
time
,
listen
out
for
the
time
expression
with
in
what
are
you
doing
in
the
afternoon
?
Sorry
,
I'm
playing
football
.
OK
,
perhaps
we
could
meet
in
the
pub
on
Saturday
evening
.
We've
got
guests
at
the
weekend
.
How
about
this
afternoon
at
two
thirty
.
So
we
had
in
the
afternoon
we
use
in
with
parts
of
the
day
,
so
it's
in
the
morning
,
in
the
afternoon
,
in
the
evening
,
but
did
you
notice
that
it's
on
Saturday
evening
?
If
we
use
a
day
of
the
week
,
plus
morning
,
afternoon
or
evening
,
we
use
on
and
we
also
use
in
with
seasons
.
So
it's
in
spring
.
In
the
winter
,
we
use
in
with
months
and
years
.
So
it's
in
June
,
in
1996
.
Notice
also
that
Rob
said
at
the
weekend
Rob
speaks
British
English
.
So
he
used
at
the
weekend
.
Some
of
the
speakers
will
say
on
the
weekend
,
it's
perfectly
fine
.
Six
minutes

From
the
BBC
,
and
we're
talking
about
time
expressions
with

So
to
recap
,
we
use
on
with
days
of
the
week
dates
and
special
days
we
use
with
times
and
particular
points
in
the
day
.
British
people
say
at
the
weekend
.
And
we
also
use
with
festivals
we
use
in
four
seasons
,
months
and
years

And
now

a
quiz
.
Fill
the
gaps

The
film
starts
at
nine
and
the
answer
is
at
the
last

.
There
are
usually
fireworks
in
London
.
New
Year's
Eve

and
the
answer
is
on

Well

you

them
.
All
right

Well
done
indeed
.
And
now
for
today's
Top
Tips
for
learning
vocabulary
.
Instead
of
learning
individual
new
words
,
one
by
one
,
try
learning
small
chunks
of
language
like
time
phrases
.
They
will
be
easier
to
learn
and
they
make
your
English
sound
a
lot
more
natural
.
