Blessing in Disguise
Intro
Has anyone ever thrown
a party for you? Surprise parties are usually fun, for birthdays, babies and
weddings, and visitors we weren’t expecting can be a wonderful treat as well.
People are often surprised by letters in the mail, or seeing an old friend at
the grocery store. There are all kinds of ways that joy unexpectedly comes into
our lives.
Perhaps even better is
a blessing in disguise. Pretend that you are walking in the rain to a bookstore
because your favorite author is going to read from her new book. You walk for
an hour, and you arrive completely wet. When you walk in the door, you learn
that the author is sick and won’t be reading after all. What a disappointment!
You walked so far for nothing.
But when you look
across the room, you see a friend you haven’t talked with in a year. In that
moment, you agree to cross the street together to a coffee shop, and you talk
for hours. The author’s sickness was unfortunate, but if she hadn’t been sick,
you might not have had coffee with your old friend. It was a blessing in
disguise.
Why was it a blessing
in disguise that Jeff wasn’t at the office when Rafael popped by? Find out in
today’s English lesson.
Dialogue
Rafael: Hey, Marni!
What’s up?
Marni: Hi! Sorry. You
startled me.
Rafael: That’s OK. I
just actually popped by… I was looking for Jeff. I wanted to see if he wanted
to grab some lunch with me or something.
Marni: He’s not here.
He’s at a meeting and he won’t be back till later.
Rafael: Shoot!
Marni: But you know
what? You are actually just the man I wanted to see.
Rafael: Really?
Marni: Mm-hm. Is it
true that you’re looking for a job teaching yoga?
Rafael: Yes.
Marni: I have a friend
who has a studio, and she’s looking for a new instructor.
Rafael: Really?
Marni: I guess her last
yoga instructor took a job in Hawaii and had to leave suddenly.
Rafael: Just my luck!
Maybe it was like a blessing in disguise that Jeff wasn’t here.
Marni: Could be. Do you
have any experience teaching kids?
Rafael: Yeah, I taught
kids once in a summer camp when I was in high school, actually.
Marni: OK, good.
Because I think part of the job is teaching a kids’ yoga class.
Rafael: Interesting.
Marni: Yeah, I think
it’s for kids 10 and up.
Rafael: OK. I think I
could do that. That would be a really interesting challenge.
Marni: So, do you want
to know how to get ahold of her?
Rafael: Yeah. I’d love
that.
Marni: OK. Let’s put
your number in my phone.
Rafael: Great.
Marni: Are you heading
down?
Rafael: Yeah.
Marni: OK.
Rafael: But thanks so
much, Marni. It really is a blessing in disguise.
Marni: That’s me! A
blessing in disguise.
Discussion
Rafael stops by the
office to ask Jeff to go out for lunch. Instead, he and Marni surprise each
other in the hallway when Rafael gets out of the elevator. She tells him the
bad news, which is that Jeff is away at a meeting. But as luckwould have it,
Marni was looking for Rafael with some good news just for him.
Marni has a friend who
owns a yoga studio. One of the instructors suddenly moved to Hawaii, so Marni’s
friend needs a new yoga teacher to take the open job. Marni knows that teaching
yoga is Rafael’s dream job, so she wants to tell him about it. She asks Rafael
for his phone number so that she can give it to her friend.
At first, Rafael was
disappointed not to see Jeff, but after talking to Marni, he now thinks it was
a blessing in disguisethat Jeff wasn’t there.
Have you ever
experienced a blessing in disguise? What were you expecting to happen, and what
happened instead?
Grammar Point
Imperative Form
Marni tells Rafael,
“Let’s put your number in my phone.” She uses the imperative form.
“Stop!,” “Come here!,”
and “Look out!” are all examples of the imperative form. You can use the
imperative form togive an order, a warning, or some advice.
To form the imperative,
use the infinitive form of the verb without “to.” To make a negative imperative,
put “do not” or “don’t” in front of the verb, as in, “Don’t touch that!”
The imperative is
formed the same for all subjects (you, he, we, they), but you can include
yourself in the imperative by adding “Let’s,” as in, “Let’s go for a swim.” Or,
as in Marni’s comment, “Let’s put your number in my phone.”
If you want to be more
polite when using an imperative, just add “please.” For example, “Please leave
me alone. I’m trying to learn English!”
Which is correct,
“Let’s driving to the beach,” or, “Let’s drive to the beach”?
