Are you ready to have some fun today?
Well, we are, and we have some great English to teach you, too.
My name is Nathan.
I'm one of your teachers here on the show.
Today we have a new topic for you.
FASHION.
And our lesson is called Spring Fashion.
Spring Fashion.
Do you like to talk about fashion, Katie?
Oh, yes, Nathan, I do like to talk about fashion.
I like clothes and I like learning about clothes.
So this will be a good lesson.
Hi, everyone.
My name is Katie, and I'm your other teacher here on the show.
Thanks for joining us today.
Now it's time for us to practice our reading together.
Find today's Read It in your LTE magazine and read it with Katie now.
Mark needs fashion advice.
He needs some spring clothing to wear on TV.
Rob gives him some tips.
He should wear spring colors.
These colors are light and can be a bright or pale shade.
Sweaters are OK, but they should not be warm and heavy.
Well, it's April and the weather is changing.
It's getting warmer outside.
Winter is over.
It's spring.
And spring is a beautiful season.
The weather is warm but it's not too hot.
You don't have to wear heavy winter clothes anymore.
That's right.
In the spring, we need to wear spring clothes.
So that's what Mark is trying to learn about today.
And Rob is giving him some tips.
I think that Rob knows a lot about fashion.
And Christina knows a lot about key words.
So let's learn them with her right now.
Hello.
(Chinese).
Rob, I need some advice.
Sure! How can I help?
Carol wants me to get some new clothes.
It's spring now.
I should wear spring clothing on TV.
You should.
But... why do you need my advice?
I don't know anything about fashion!
But you do.
What kinds of clothes should I get?
First, think about spring colors.
(Music).
Have you ever had a problem, but you didn't know what to do?
Do you ever feel confused about things?
Those are good times to ask someone for advice.
Yes. If you ask someone for advice, they will give you help with the problem.
Just like Rob.
He gives Mark some advice with the small problem he's having.
And Rob wants to be very helpful.
He says, "How can I help?" Oh, hey.
Do you know what I just did?
I just said today's Calendar Phrase.
How can I help?
How can I help?
(Chinese).
Oh. You look busy.
Yes. I need to study.
How can I help?
I need to read my lessons.
How can I help?
I need to write a paper.
How can I help?
How can I help?
You can be quiet.
So that's how I can help.
How can I help?
How can I help?
(Chinese).
So if someone asks you for advice, you can help them.
You can give advice when you know a lot about something.
And we also say that you can give tips.
And Mark needs advice about spring clothes.
He should be wearing different clothing on TV because it's spring now.
And hey, Nathan just used today's Use It sentence.
So let's see what Elizabeth has to say about it now.
(Music).
Today we are going to learn about the pattern:
I should wear something.
For example, you could say:
I should wear pants today.
Or... I should wear this pretty sweater.
Got it?
Then go out and use it.
(Music).
So if it's cold outside, you should wear warm clothes.
But if it's spring, you should wear different clothes.
I think we'll learn about those kinds of clothes later today, right, Katie?
That's right.
Mark really needs Rob's help with this problem because he doesn't know anything
about fashion.
But before we learn more, that's a sentence Christina should talk to you about -
because she knows a lot about it.
(Chinese).
I don't know anything about cars.
I don't know how to fix them if they break.
And I don't know what to do if I need to buy something for the car.
What about you, Nathan?
Oh. There's a lot of things I don't know anything about.
But one thing is business.
I don't know how to make my own business or sell things well, buy things well.
Some people know everything about business.
I know almost nothing.
But I do know one thing:
It's time for us to go to Conversation B.
We can find out more about these spring clothes and spring fashion there.
So let's go there now.
Spring colors?
What kinds of colors are those?
Spring colors are usually light.
So don't wear a black or brown shirt.
Wear a light blue shirt or a yellow shirt!
Yellow is a really bright color.
Not always.
You can choose a pale shade.
Oh, good.
I don't want to wear bright colors!
Don't worry!
You don't have to.
(Music).
So what advice does Rob give Mark first?
He...
We heard it at the end of Conversation A.
Nathan, do you remember?
I do.
Rob told Mark to think about spring colors.
I think we found out about what those are in this conversation, Katie.
You're right.
Spring colors are light colors.
They are not dark colors like black, brown or purple.
So what are some light colors, Nathan?
Rob tells us.
Light blue or yellow are some good spring colors.
But pink is another good spring color, too.
Don't you think so?
Or there's another good spring color.
Green.
Well, wait. Green is a dark color.
I mean just look at this color, Nathan.
See? It's so dark.
That's not pale.
Well, that's true, Katie.
But you can get other green colors.
You can get colors in different shades.
In spring, some people wear the color green if it's a light shade, like some of
those there.
That's right.
There are some different shades of green.
And that is a great spring color.
So let's talk about one of the words that we just used: bright.
What does it mean if something is bright?
Ah. If something is really bright, it has a lot of color.
You can see it from far away.
A lot of times we say the sun is very bright.
Or if it's a very sunny day, I'd say it's bright outside.
Sometimes the sun is so bright that it hurts my eyes.
So when I go outside and it's bright out, I have to cover my eyes because I
can't look up.
And something strange happens when I look up at a bright sky, it makes me sneeze
every time.
Does that happen to you?
Now, friends, yellow is usually a bright color.
But many people wear pale shades of this color in the spring.
And pale is another word for light.
You can say a color is light or pale.
And it's good that you can wear pale shades in spring.
Mark doesn't want to wear bright colors.
Bright colors might be better for the summertime.
That's right.
But right now we have to take a quick break.
But don't worry, we'll be right back withmore after this.
