Welcome back, everyone.
Now in today's lesson, we are still talking about books.
And Rob didn't get much sleep because he read a book all night.
Remember, you can use "sleep" two ways.
You can use it as a thing or as something you do.
That's right, and we learned another great phrase "can't wait."
Is there anything that you can't wait to do?
Well, I can't wait to see what else there is in Conversation C.
Megan, may I borrow Dreams of Alicia from you?
The book, I mean.
Of course!
But Carol is reading it now.
You can read it when she's finished.
Thank you.
It's more exciting than the movie.
There is this part when...
Wait!
Don't tell me anything!
Don't spoil the story.
OK. You'll really like it.
I'm looking forward to it!
(Music).
Well, everyone, all of our friends at LTE TV want to read this great book.
Rob read it, Megan has read it,
and now Jim wants to borrow the book, too.
But he can't do that, because Carol is reading the book now.
So he can read it when she is finished.
Oh, that's a good sentence for today.
And that's our Use It sentence.
Let's learn about it with Elizabeth.
(Music).
Here's a very useful pattern:
You can do something when something happens.
For example:
You can play a game when your sister comes home.
Or... You can eat dessert when you finish your dinner.
Now remember to use it.
Thanks, Elizabeth.
Well, Megan is right.
The book is more exciting than the movie.
She wants to tell Jim about a part in the book.
Oh. But she can't do that.
He has not read it yet.
If she tells him, she will spoil the story.
Then he will know what happens.
So he would not need to read the book.
And that's why Jim says, "Don't tell me anything."
Hey, everyone, do you know what that is?
That's today's Calendar Phrase.
Don't tell me.
Don't tell me.
(Chinese).
I know a secret.
Don't tell me.
It's a surprise.
Don't tell me.
You'll never guess.
Don't tell me.
Today is my birthday!
Your birthday!?
Why didn't you tell me?
Don't tell me.
Don't tell me.
(Chinese).
So if you don't want to spoil a story for someone, don't tell them anything.
That's important to remember.
Yes. I do not like it when people spoil stories for me.
And Megan does not do that.
She just tells him that he will really like the book.
And Jim thinks that he will.
He's looking forward to it.
He's excited to read that book.
And Christina is looking forward to telling you more about that phrase right
now.
(Chinese).
So what are you looking forward to, everyone?
I think you all know what I'm excited about.
I'm looking forward to finishing my book tonight.
Yes, you have talked about that a lot.
We all know that you are looking forward to it.
But I'm looking forward to something else.
Do you know what I'm thinking about, Katie?
Oh. I think I know.
You're looking forward to reviewing the key words from today.
It's time to do that.
So, everyone, let's review.
Say the key words with us now.
And the first one is...
tired.
tired.
Katie is tired.
She needs coffee.
chapter.
chapter.
There are 10 chapters in this book.
boring.
boring.
This sentence is boring, not exciting.
mean.
mean.
What do you mean?
I don't understand.
look forward to [something].
look forward to [something].
I'm looking forward to English class!
OK. Those are all of today's key words.
Try to remember them and keep practicing them at home.
Right now, let's continue our review and look back at today's conversations.
(Music).
Hey, Rob.
You look a little tired.
I am.
I didn't get much sleep last night.
Why not?
I had to finish Dreams of Alicia.
I couldn't stop!
It was too good.
How long is the book?
It's more than 500 pages long.
I read some during lunch yesterday.
Then I read at dinner.
And then I read after dinner...
(Music).
Carol, here is Dreams of Alicia.
I just finished it.
Great! Megan told me a lot about it.
I can't wait to start it.
The first chapter is a little boring.
But keep reading!
OK, I'll remember that.
Did you see the movie yet?
No, not yet.
Should I see the movie first?
No. Read the book first.
Megan, may I borrow Dreams of Alicia from you?
The book, I mean.
Of course!
But Carol is reading it now.
You can read it when she's finished.
Thank you.
It's more exciting than the movie.
There's this part when...
Wait!
Don't tell me anything!
Don't spoil the story.
OK. You'll really like it.
I'm looking forward to it!
(Music).
Hey, Monkey Man.
Ginger, I'm still reading.
Please.
Is the book exciting?
Yes. I can't put it down.
The movie was exciting, too!
The movie?
Yeah. While you were reading, I saw the movie.
Oh, that's nice.
Watching the movie is faster than reading the book.
But the book is better.
The movie is better.
And the ending is a big surprise.
OK. But, but don't tell me, OK?
But I want to tell you.
No... you'll spoil it for me.
You see, they go to the castle, and then...
Stop, Ginger.
I'm not listening.
It's just a big happy ending.
And then her sister...
I can't hear you... I can't hear you.
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
That's right, it's time for Let's Play!
Let's meet our players for today.
My name is Gordie.
Remember me?
I remember you.
Do you know me, Gordie?
Sure. You're... Tricia.
Say it again, Gordie.
And I'm Benita.
Thank you. Thank you very much, Benita.
And of course, you can play, too.
But what are we playing today?
Yes or No!
Um, we're not playing yet, Gordie.
But you're right.
How did you know?
You're really good, Gordie.
Thanks, Tricia.
I'll ask the first question.
It's a key word from today or yesterday, right?
Yes. All right, next question.
But those are just the rules. Can't I ask?
Oh, is the word something you can feel?
Hmm, you mean like "love" or "sadness"?
No. It's not like that.
Hmm. Is it some kind of person?
Ah, yes. It is a kind of person.
Dream!
That's a key word.
"Dream" is a key word, but it's not a person.
Gordie is a dream.
Oh, please!
Does the word tell a person's job?
Oh. Like "policeman" or "bus driver"?
No, it's not like that.
Is it "character"?
Woo, that answer is close.
But there's another word.
Well, is it something that most people like?
Yes. Yes, it is.
Does anyone know the answer?
Hero.
Yes, yes, everyone loves a hero.
And you are the winner, Gordie.
And... you're my hero.
OK.
Uh, well, that's all for this time.
Do join us next time for...
Let's Play!
Well, that's the end of our ENTERTAINMENT lesson for this month.
Did you enjoy it?
I did. I love this lesson.
Reading is a great hobby.
You can really learn a lot when you read.
OK, that's true.
And watching movie is good, too. Right, Katie?
Yes, it's good.
There are a lot of movies I really like.
But I think I always like the book better.
Sorry, Nathan.
Well, that's OK, Katie.
Some people like watching movies more than reading books.
But everyone is different.
Oh, that's right.
Well, everyone, thanks for joining us today.
We need to...
Oh, wait!
The show is over.
Now I can tell you all about the book that I'm reading.
Well, uh, no, Katie.
We have to go now.
So sorry.
But I need to say see you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
