English for Tourism & Hospitality (102) by Prof. Adel AlSheikh
Do you know what “how come” means?
“Why. “ It means why. But instead of saying
“Why didn’t you tell me?” You’ll often hear
Americans say “How come you didn’t tell me?”
Instead of “Why do you want to go to
Disneyworld?”, we’ll say “How come you want to
go to Disneyworld?”
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS…
This expression is used to give instructions to
somebody. In real English, it sounds like
/whutchuh wanna do wiz/ /whutchuh wanna do
wiz/. It means “You need to do…” when you’re
giving instructions to someone.
For example, if you want to get the American
Accent Survival Kit, what you want to do is go to
christinarebuffet.com. Then what you want to do
is click on “Bonuses” and then the survival kit.
And then what you want to do is sign up to get it
for free! And that’s how we sometimes give
instructions in English!
