Welcome to the show, everyone.
We have a lot of English to learn today.
My name is Nathan.
I'm one of your teachers here on Let's Talk in English.
Let's continue our TECHNOLOGY topic today.
Remember, our lesson is called Watch My Vlog!
Watch My Vlog!
Katie, if you made a vlog, what would it be about?
Oh, that's a great question.
I think that my vlog would be about when I lived in a different country.
And I would talk about all the things I saw every day.
Hi, everyone.
My name is Katie.
And I hope that you're excited to learn some great English with us today.
Now it's time to open your magazine and find today's Read It.
We can practice our reading together as Katie reads today's Read It.
Vera Vlogger is a very successful video blogger!
In her videos Vera explains how to cook and bake.
She makes different recipes.
Cooking used to be her hobby.
But now Vera makes money from her vlog!
Companies pay her to use their tools on her vlog.
Having a popular vlog isn't easy.
Vera edits her own videos.
That takes a long time!
Hey, I think we get to watch Let's Talk today, everyone.
Isn't that always fun?
Nathan, what do you mean?
We're on Let's Talk in English.
They're watching us right now.
No, no, they are watching Let's Talk in English, but Let's Talk is a different
show.
Let's Talk is Rob's talk show.
Oh.
That's right.
And today the guest is a vlogger.
Vera Vlogger.
Before we find out more, I think that we should learn our key words for today
from Christina.
Hello.
(Chinese).
(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!
Now we know what kind of vlog Vera Vlogger makes.
She makes a cooking vlog.
I think that could be very helpful for a lot of people.
Oh, definitely.
People like to try cooking, but they often need someone to show them how.
People usually get help from a friend that's good at cooking.
Right.
Friends can be with you and teach you how to do things.
But Vera gives people another kind of choice.
They can learn by watching her vlog.
But some people who watch her vlog might already know how to cook.
Those people can get some new food ideas from her.
Oh, sure.
That's why a lot of people watch cooking shows on TV.
They already know how to cook, but they want to get some new ideas.
You know, cooking shows have been on TV a long time now.
It's a popular topic.
Hey, are you ready for a Calendar Phrase?
That's a popular topic.
That's a popular topic.
(Chinese).
I'm reading about pets.
That's a popular topic.
I'm reading about food.
That's a popular topic.
I'm reading about music.
That's a popular topic.
What are you reading about?
How to eat bugs.
Oh. That is not a popular topic.
That's a popular topic.
That's a popular topic.
(Chinese).
(Music).
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.
Aww, that's really nice!
Why does Vera like to make her vlogs?
Because they help people.
And helping people is fun.
Do you think so, Nathan?
Yes, it's really true.
We often do things for ourselves.
We do things that we like but they don't make a difference.
Helping people really does make a difference.
Yes.
If you help someone, you can make their life a little better and a little
happier.
That's a wonderful thing.
But is it fun?
Well, sometimes it's hard work.
It's not always easy to help people.
But if you have a good attitude, I think you will have fun, too.
I think so, too.
You may not always like the work.
But you love that you can help someone.
But people like Vera really enjoy their work.
And we should all find a job that we enjoy.
Cooking was just Vera's hobby, but now she makes money with it.
And that's because she shares it with other people on her vlog.
Now making money does not mean that Vera is drawing and cutting out dollars,
right, Nathan?
Oh.
No, of course not.
That would not be right.
Why don't we get some help with the phrase "make money" from Christina.
(Chinese).
So making money is just getting money by doing some kind of work.
But can you really make money just by putting a video online?
No, you can't.
Vera gets money because there are ads in her vlog.
Some companies also give her money if she uses their tools.
Well, that's good for her.
Friends, right now we need to take a break.
But don't go away.We'll be right back.
