This is Let's Talk in English.
We are here in the LTE TV studio.
My name is Katie, and I'm one of your teachers here on the show.
Our topic is still HOLIDAYS.
So we have part two of our lesson EASTER!
EASTER!
Nathan, what do many people do for Easter?
Oh. We learned a little bit about that yesterday.
Many people will go to church on Easter because it's on a Sunday,
but others will also have some Easter egg hunts.
Hello, everyone.
My name is Nathan.
It's great to learn about Easter together with you today.
So let's get started.
Find your magazine and turn to today's Read It.
You can read it with Nathan right now.
Susie, Jim and Mark all enjoyed Easter dinner with friends.
Jim and Mark had ham.
Susie had lamb.
They all had potatoes, vegetables and other foods.
Mark ate rolls and fresh fruit.
For dessert, Susie ate a big piece of chocolate cake.
It had jelly beans on it!
Mark had chocolate bunnies for dessert.
Those are his favorite Easter treat!
Nathan, I think something is wrong.
This is a HOLIDAY lesson,
but the Read It sounds like it's a food lesson.
You're right, Katie.
But nothing is wrong.
Lots of holidays have special foods.
And people often eat together for holidays, too.
I guess that's true.
And people eat different things on different holidays.
And we all like talking about food anyway, right, everyone?
Right.
But sometimes talking about food makes us hungry, too.
Oh, well, let's start by learning some food key words with our word lady.
Hello.
(Chinese).
(Music).
Hi, Susie.
Did you cook a big dinner on Easter?
No. I went to a friend's house for dinner.
I went to a friend's house, too.
There was a lot of food!
What did you eat, Jim?
We had ham.
Of course.
That's traditional.
It is.
And it was good ham.
And we had potatoes and two different vegetables, fruit and...
There was a lot of food!
Yes. For holidays, there's usually a lot of food for families and friends to eat
together.
Lots of people make different fruit... food and bring it to share with everyone.
And then everyone can take some of it home.
Or if you are just eating with your family, you might need to eat the same thing
for a few days.
That's right.
A lot of food can become a lot of leftovers.
That just means food that is left over.
Nathan, do you cook a big dinner for holidays?
Oh, no. I don't cook very much.
If you cook a big dinner, it just means you make a lot of food for dinner.
Sometimes my mom does that, and I help her if I'm around.
Most of us do eat with families on holidays if they live nearby.
But my family lives far away, so I went to a friend's house for dinner.
Oh. I think that was today's Use It sentence.
Listen carefully, everyone.
(Music).
Let's take a look at this very useful pattern:
I went to somewhere for something.
For example:
I went to the boss's office for a meeting.
Or... I went to a restaurant for dinner.
Wherever you go, don't forget to use it.
(Music).
Well, thank you for another very useful sentence, Elizabeth.
Now I think that we could use that sentence almost every day.
Like, I went to the store for milk.
Or I went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch.
And I go to the LTE TV studio for work.
And I see something else to work on, Nathan.
Jim said that they had potatoes and two different vegetables.
But aren't potatoes also vegetables?
Yes.
But many people think of them like bread or rice.
That's traditional in many places.
And that's a Calendar Phrase.
That's traditional.
That's traditional.
(Chinese).
It's your birthday.
How will you celebrate?
I'll have a party.
That's traditional.
I'll have a birthday cake.
That's traditional.
My friends will give me gifts.
That's traditional.
And I'll get older.
I know.
That's too bad.
Yeah.
That's traditional.
That's traditional.
(Chinese).
(Music).
I had lamb for Easter dinner.
It was delicious.
Lamb is good.
But it's not my favorite thing to eat on Easter.
I know.
My favorite are the desserts!
Did you have some chocolate on Easter?
Yes! My friend made a big chocolate cake.
She decorated it with jelly beans!
And you ate a piece?
Yes. I had a big piece!
(Music).
Yes, people often make special desserts for holidays like pies or cookies.
But Susie had chocolate cake for dessert.
Nathan, we can't talk about Susie's dessert yet.
We need to talk about her dinner first.
Everyone knows you should have dinner before you eat dessert.
But we are not eating, we're just talking about...
Nathan, dinner is more important.
We should talk about it first.
Now Jim had ham for dinner.
But Susie had lamb for dinner.
What did you have for dinner?
Next, we should...
Wait a minute, Katie.
We need to do something else first.
Nathan, I already told you we will talk about dessert later.
Right now, we need to...
Right now Christina wants to talk about the pattern you used, Katie.
(Chinese).
(Music).
So we have different kinds of food for different meals.
For each meal, you can try to say what you ate with this English pattern.
Like this:
Susie had lamb for dinner.
But you can also use this pattern for talking about dessert.
Like: We had apple pie for...
Nathan. Nathan, I already told you dessert is for later.
Now, lamb is not Mark's favorite thing to eat on Easter.
If you say something is not your favorite, then you like other things more.
Oh. Like: Winter is not my favorite part of the year.
I like other parts of the year more.
But Susie does have a favorite thing to eat on Easter.
Her favorite thing is the...
How many times do I have to tell you, Nathan?
We have to wait. OK.
Now Susie's favorite thing to eat on Easter is the desserts.
So Susie had...
A break!
It's time for a break, everyone.
We will be right back very soon.
But we haven't had dessert yet.
