Thanks for coming back to hear the rest of today's lesson.
Now for today, Rob is giving Mark some advice about spring fashion and spring
colors.
Advice is like help or some tips.
That's right.
And one tip that Rob gives Mark is to wear pale colors.
He says that it's a good idea to wear light blue or light yellow when you're
looking for spring clothes.
Now let's see what else we can find out about spring clothing in Conversation C.
I have a lot of sweaters.
But I can't wear those now.
No, they're probably too heavy and warm for spring weather.
But you can wear a sweater if it's not too heavy.
I have some store credit at a clothing store.
I can buy new clothes there!
Good idea.
The store will have lots of spring clothing to choose from.
Great!
Thanks for your help, Rob.
(Music).
When do we usually wear sweaters?
In the winter.
Winter sweaters are really heavy.
They weigh a lot.
They are too warm for the spring.
But did you know you can wear a sweater in the spring, too?
That's right.
Some sweaters are really light.
So those are the sweaters that we can wear in the spring.
But wait, we just used the word "light" in Conversation B.
Do... do these words mean the same thing, Nathan?
Ah. No, they do not.
Sometimes the word "light" means a pale shade of a color.
It's not a dark shade of a color.
But other times something that is light is not heavy.
Oh, that's right.
OK. And other times we talk about lights.
We have lights in the room and whenever you go into a room, you have to turn
them on when it is dark.
That's right.
There are different meanings for the word "light.".
So Mark will have to buy some new spring clothing.
But that's OK.
He still has store credit from January.
Now, friends, do you remember learning about store credit?
What is it?
That's right.
Store credit is what you get when you return something to a store, but you do
not buy anything that day.
You can use store credit at a different time.
And that's very convenient for Mark.
The store will have lots of spring clothing to choose from.
And that is a sentence you should learn more about with Christina.
(Chinese).
So, how can we use this sentence in other ways?
Let's try it.
The theater has a lot of movies to choose from.
The supermarket has a lot of kinds of fruit to choose from.
And the store has a lot of different kinds of pens to choose from.
You can pick out what you like.
That's right.
OK, friends, now it's time for us to review the key words that we learned today.
Please say them with us right now.
And first is:

Well, those are all of our key words for today.
And a lot of them should be very useful to you when you're talking about
fashion.
Right now let's review today's conversations together.
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.
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.
I have a lot of sweaters.
But I can't wear those now.
No, they're probably too heavy and warm for spring weather.
But you can wear a sweater if it's not too heavy.
I have some store credit at a clothing store.
I can buy new clothes there!
Good idea.
The store will have lots of spring clothing to choose from.
Great!
Thanks for your help, Rob.
(Music).
So, Mr. Monkey Man, how do I look?
Well, Ginger, I think you look like you need some fashion tips.
Fashion tips?
What kind of fashion tips?
Well, it's spring, so maybe you should wear some spring colors.
Oh. What are spring colors?
Colors that are light and bright.
Oh... how about yellow?
Yeah, sure. Yellow is a nice color for spring.
Hooray! I love yellow!
It reminds me of bananas!
I knew it.
Ooh, ooh. I'll get yellow hats, yellow shirts, yellow shoes, yellow glasses...
Well, Ginger, you don't need all those things to look good.
I don't?
No. The most important thing you wear is your smile.
Hooray! I have a great smile!
(Music).
And that's all we have to teach you today.
Don't worry, though, friends.
There's more to learn tomorrow.
The week is not over yet.
No, it's not.
We learned a lot today about fashion.
Now you know that in the spring, it's good to have light clothes and pale
shades.
You don't want to wear clothes that are too heavy because it's getting warm
outside.
Hmm. Have you ever given someone advice?
If someone asks you for advice, you can give that person some tips.
It is very helpful to give advice to people.
And tomorrow we'll get some more advice about spring clothes from someone very
special.
So make sure that you join us then because we'll learn even more about fashion.
Yes, it will be a great show.
But before you come back for tomorrow's lesson, make sure that you review what
we've learned today.
What are some spring colors?
What does shade mean?
That's all good to know.
But now we want to say that we hope we will see you then right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
