Thanks for coming back for the rest of today's lesson, everyone.
If you weren't here before, our friends were waiting for a guest at a
restaurant.
But he got there late and now they don't have a table anymore.
That's right.
They lost their reservation.
And at the restaurant, there was only one open table.
All the others were full.
Let's see what they end up doing in Conversation C.
The Blue Fish has good food.
But so does the Jungle Cafe.
And the Jungle Cafe has great service, too!
You're right.
We're very lucky.
We can always enjoy some great food here.
They have great desserts, too.
They have apple pie, chocolate pie...
You're still hungry?
He's always hungry.
Then let's eat some dessert!
Well, our friends didn't get a table at The Blue Fish.
They were all full.
Now there was nowhere to sit at The Blue Fish.
So they go somewhere that is also good - the Jungle Cafe.
That's great.
The Blue Fish has good food.
But the Jungle Cafe does, too.
Both those places have good food.
That's right.
And Christina is going to tell you more about that sentence right now.
(Chinese).
So both The Blue Fish and the Jungle Cafe have good food.
But the Jungle Cafe has something else - great service.
That's right.
Service at a restaurant is really important.
If the people who work there are nice and want to help you a lot, that is good
service.
It's good to go to a restaurant that has good service.
They bring food and drinks to you fast.
So they are lucky to have some good service at the Jungle Cafe.
They can always enjoy great food there and great desserts.
Katie, we all know that you love desserts.
Do you want to talk about this?
Well, of course I do.
Dessert is the best part of any meal.
It is the sweet part.
But you should be really careful when you spell this word.
Do you know how to do that?
I do.
It's spelled DESSERT.
But why are you telling them that, Katie?
Because there's another word spelled close to dessert.
It's desert.
And it's spelled DESERT.
These things are different.
A desert is a place with a lot of sand.
And dessert is sweet food.
Well, you should not forget that, friends.
Now before I forget, let's review today's key words together.
We learned some good ones today.
Here's the first key word.
hold.
hold.
Please hold three tables for us.
popular.
popular.
Jay Chou is a popular singer.
open.
open.
There's an open seat across from Jo.
party.
party.
A party of six can get a discount.
service.
service.
The service at the restaurant was great!
OK, everyone.
Those are the rest of your key words.
Make sure that you practice them.
They'll help you when you go eat at a restaurant.
Right now we're going to review today's conversations again.
(Music).
My guest is very late!
He called.
He is on his way.
We'll still be late for our reservation.
Perhaps the restaurant can hold the table.
I hope so.
But it's a very popular restaurant.
You can go to the restaurant now.
Your guest can meet you there.
That's a great idea.
Can you call him?
I'll do that right now.
I'm sorry I'm late.
That's OK.
We were late, too.
But we lost our reservation.
Oh, no.
Can we still get a table?
If we wait, we can probably get a table.
I don't see any open tables.
There's an open table.
But that is a table for two.
We're a party of four.
Then let's eat at the Jungle Cafe.
The Blue Fish has good food.
But so does the Jungle Cafe.
And the Jungle Cafe has great service, too!
You're right.
We're very lucky.
We can always enjoy some great food here.
They have great desserts, too.
They have apple pie, chocolate pie...
You're still hungry?
He's always hungry.
Then let's eat some dessert!
(Music).
Hi, Ginger.
Huh!
I'm angry.
I'm not talking to you, Monkey Man.
Why are you angry with me?
You had dinner at a fancy restaurant.
And you didn't take me!
No. I didn't have dinner at a fancy restaurant.
Yes, you did.
You made reservations for two!
But Ginger, I was late.
And they didn't hold my table.
Really? Oh, that's too bad.
It's not funny.
Why were you late, Monkey Man?
I couldn't find my car keys.
Oh, no!
I wonder what happened to your car keys.
Ginger, did you hide my keys?
Who, me?
No. I didn't hide your keys under the bananas. No.
Under the bananas.
Ginger!
Oops!
Sorry.
Welcome to Let's Play!
Now play with us today.
And who is us?
Well, let's meet today's players.
My name is Gordie.
Hi, everyone. I'm Benita.
I'm Jen, and I'm going to win.
Well, we will see about that.
Today we've got a great game for you.
It's called - What's That Word?
I'll tell you about a key word from yesterday or today.
And we have to guess the word?
That's right, Jen.
Now let's play.
This word is something you can do.
Open. That's something I do all the time.
I open doors, books, boxes...
Uh... well, uh...
Yes, open was a key word, but it was not something you do.
Today's key word "open" was for saying... the restaurant is open.
Actually, this is something that you can do at a restaurant.
Invite. I love to invite friends to my favorite restaurant.
Invite is a great key word.
But it's not what I'm looking for.
Ooh, is it...
Oh, sorry.
Is it reservation?
Like reservation a table?
Wooh, you're very close, Benita.
But that's not good English.
Try again?
Oh, I meant...
Oh, sorry.
Reserve, like reserve a table.
Yes! It is..
Is it reserve?
Uh. Yes. It is.
But Benita already guessed it.
Reserve. Yeah.
(Music).
Right.
Gordie, that was just beautiful.
It's my song for the winner.
Benita! Yeah, Benita.
Great job, Benita.
Gordie, Jen, thank you for joining us.
What a show!
Join us next time on Let's Play!
Yeah!
Wow. What a crazy couple of days.
We learned about making reservations at a restaurant.
And then Megan had to change those reservations.
And then the guest was late.
Actually, they were all late, so they lost their reservation.
Well, now you know, friends.
It's important to be on time to a restaurant, especially if you have a
reservation.
But it all turned out okay.
The Jungle Cafe has great food and great service.
That's right.
So now, friends, it's time for us to go.
It's the end of our lesson for today.
But don't worry, we have more to learn this week.
So make sure that you come back and join us tomorrow here on...
Let's Talk in English. Bye-bye.
(Music).
