Anna is in her new apartment. She wants to cook dinner. She tries to call Marsha for help.
ANNA: I am in my new apartment! Great!
I live with Marsha. We’re roommates.
I want to cook dinner. Oh! Hmmm. Is there a supermarket near here?
Marsha knows. Marsha's work number is 555-8986.
MAN: Hello.
ANNA: Hello. Is this Marsha? It is Anna.
MAN: I am sorry. You have the wrong number.
ANNA: Oh. Is this 555-8986?
MAN: No. This is 555-8689.

MAN: Okay. 'Bye.
ANNA: One more time. 555-8986. Please be Marsha.
MARSHA: Hello. This is Marsha.
ANNA: Yes, Marsha. I want to cook dinner.
MARSHA: Excuse me? Anna? Is that you?
ANNA: Oh, yes. I am here!
MARSHA: Good. You are there.
ANNA: I want to find a supermarket.
MARSHA: Oh, okay. The supermarket is at 1500 Irving Street. It is near the apartment.

Грамматика третьего урока: местоимения времени here there
В этом уроке мы продолжаем закреплять изменение глагола to be по лицам и встречаем конструкцию We are и ее сокращенную форму We're. Ее употребляет Анна, рассказывая, что она живет с Маршей, они соседи по квартире - We're roommate.
И, наконец, мы встречаем местоимения места - here и there. Дословно они переводятся - здесь и там. Но по смыслу, можно перевести просто как:
ANNA: Oh, yes. I am here! - Да, это я.
MARSHA: Good. You are there. - Хорошо, это ты.
До встречи на следующем уроке!
