Thanks for joining us here in the LTE TV studio.
It's a great day to learn some English.
My name is Katie, and I'm happy to be here today.
And my name is Nathan.
We're going to have a great lesson today.
Do you like to play sports?
Our friends at LTE TV like to play basketball.
Yeah. Jim, the new weatherman, is really good at basketball.
So they go shoot some baskets together.
That sounds like a great time.
Do you remember if they won their game?
Oh, and then we talked about math.
Oh, Math problems can be hard for some people.
But Mark and Megan use math when they buy too many apples.
And then we're going to talk about something new - vlogging.
Do you remember what that is?
Well, now let's watch this week's conversations one more time.
(Music).
Hey, Mark.
Are you doing anything after work?
Hi, Rob.
No, I'm not.
Great!
Jim and I plan to play basketball.
Can you come?
Jim?
Our weatherman, Jim.
Oh! Right. Sure!
But I didn't bring my clothes or sneakers.
Meet us at 6:00.
You can go home first.
Will we meet at Riverside Park?
Yes. We'll meet at court number one.
I have a ball at home.
I can bring it.
Do we need it?
No. I have a ball in my gym bag.
Are we playing against some other guys?
Yes. They come at 7:00.
We can practice first.
Hi, Rob.
Hi, Mark.
Hi, Jim.
Hi, Jim.
Do you play basketball often?
I play a few times a week.
I like basketball.
What about you?
I don't play often.
But I enjoy it.
OK, guys.
Let's shoot some baskets.
Good. I need some practice.
Let's play!
That was a close game but it was fun!
I know!
And we won!
We should play again next week.
That's a great idea!
Jim, you're really good!
Yeah. You didn't miss many baskets!
Thanks, guys.
You're great teammates.
We play well together.
If we practice together every week, we'll play even better.
Jim scored so many points yesterday.
Yes, he has great basketball skills.
He plays games a couple times a week.
But he practices every day!
Maybe I should practice every day, too.
Practice is important in sports.
The more you practice, the better you will be.
I'll practice.
Then maybe I can be like Jeremy Lin!
Then you'll need to practice a lot.
Hey, Jim!
Hi, Mark.
Are you going to the park today after work?
Yes, I'm going to practice.
Can I come with you?
Sure.
You can really dribble.
Can you help me dribble better?
Of course.
I can help you with the basics.
Maybe you can teach me how to pass the ball better, too.
Then maybe one day I can be a basketball star!
Hey, Megan.
I brought some apples to share.
I brought apples, too!
Did you go to the sale at Freeway Supermarket?
I did!
I bought a bag of 15 apples.
How many did you get?
I also got 15 apples.
That means we have 25 apples to share!
Uh, no!
Fifteen apples plus 15 apples is 30 apples.
Oh... That's a lot of apples!
Let's give four apples to Carol.
We can also give four to Susie.
We should give four to Rob and four to Jim, too.
OK. Good idea.
Then we'll have 20 apples left.
No! Thirty minus 16 equals 14.
Oh... Sorry, I'm not very good at math.
You might not be good at math, but you are good at sharing!
What should we do with these leftover apples?
We can share them.
You take half, and I'll take half.
What am I going to with 8 apples?
No, Mark!
When you divide 14 by two, you get 7.
That's still too many apples for me to use.
You take 10 apples.
Why 10?
You can make some apple pies.
To share?
Of course!
(Music).
Hi, Rob.
What are you watching?
I'm watching a new vlog online.
What's a vlog?
It's a video blog.
Get it?
Vlog!
Oh, I see!
What is this one about?
It's about travel.
A guy goes to different countries.
He films things there and talks about them.
That sounds pretty interesting.
It is!
His videos give me good ideas for vacations.
Megan, are you interested in online videos?
Yes, I am!
I just found a cool vlog about travel.
Oh, show me!
I love travel vlogs.
You travel.
Why don't you make your own travel vlog?
Actually, I already have a vlog.
But it's not about travel.
Really? What is it about?
It's about making stuff like jewelry and crafts.
Hi, everyone.
This is Megan, and today I'm going to teach you...
Megan! Is this your vlog?
Yes, and you're interrupting!
Can I be in your video?
Fine. But you have to be quiet.
OK.
Today I want to show you these cool bracelets.
See? And they're really easy to make.
Those are pretty!
Did you make those?
Yes. Shhh!
(Music).
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to Let's Talk!
Today we are talking about vlogs!
Video blogs.
Please help me welcome my special guest, Ms. Vera Vlogger.
Today we're talking with a very successful video blogger!
Vera, your videos are very popular!
Thank you!
I'm happy so many people enjoy them.
Can you explain your videos?
Sure! I make videos about cooking and baking.
That's a popular topic!
It is!
A lot of people want to cook.
But they need someone to show them how!
And you're great at that!
I didn't know my videos would become so popular.
Cooking was just a hobby!
But now you actually make money with your vlog, right?
I do!
Most of the money comes from ads.
But some companies make special tools for cooking.
They pay me money to use their tools on my vlog.
You're an Internet star.
How does it feel?
I like it!
Making videos that help people is fun.
Tell us about a normal work day for you, Vera.
In the morning, I work on new recipes.
When do you film yourself cooking?
In the afternoon.
And I edit the video myself.
Editing takes a long time!
You make vlogs look easy.
But they're really a lot of hard work!
Right. Each video is only 10 minutes long.
But most of them take hours to make.
I can tell.
They're great videos!
(Music).
Let's try something fun today, Nathan.
I'm going to show you a picture and you tell me which word this is.
Sounds great, Katie.
Let's look at the first picture.
OK, Nathan. What is this a picture of?
Hmm. That looks like something that you play.
It's a game.
Oh, I know.
It's basketball.
Our friends played basketball this week.
That's right. And what do you play basketball on?
Hmm. Uh, a basketball court.
Well, that's a great sport.
If you play basketball, practice hard.
Just like our friends.
They want to practice together every week, remember?
And we try to practice English every day with you.
OK. We have time for one more question, Katie.
And I'll ask it.
How many apples do Mark and Megan bring to the studio?
That's a hard question.
Mark brings fifteen apples, and Megan brings 15 apples, too.
So fifteen apples plus 15 apples is 30 apples.
They brought thirty apples.
That's right.
That's good math.
All right, everyone, Katie and I are going to take a quick break.
Don't go away.
