朋友，认识你万分荣幸。嘿，朋友，见到你太好了。这两句话感觉怎么样？正式与不正式的语言效果就是如此不同。
TIPS
本篇只听写嘉宾的话，主持人的话不需要听写。
主持人的话：①“Why don't you give a couple of examples."
主持人的话：②"So 'set up' instead of 'arrange,' 'stand up' instead of just 'stand.' Adding those prepositions kind of [softens] them a little bit."
主持人的话:③"Do you have a couple more examples?"
主持人的话：④"Let's meet this weekend.""Generally speaking, whenever we have the chance to use a two-word verb, that is kind of an instant way to sound more informal and more natural."
"'Please stand'; 'please stand up.' 'I'm going to call my friend'; 'I'm going to call up my friend.' 'I'd like to set up a meeting' rather than 'I'd like to arrange a meeting.'"
"Right, it makes it more informal."
"'Get together': 'Let's get together for a meeting this weekend' rather than 'Let's, um"
"Meet, exactly, exactly. And we said, 'let's set up a meeting.' 'I'm tied up next week.'"
