Hello, everyone.
It's great to see you today here in the LTE TV studio.
My name is Nathan.
I'm one of your teachers here on the show.
Today we have a new topic - SPORTS.
Our lesson is called Let's Play Basketball!
Let's Play Basketball!
Do you like to play basketball, Katie?
Well, it's not my favorite sport.
But I have played it a few times and it can be fun to play basketball.
Hi, everyone.
My name is Katie.
And I hope that you're really excited to learn some great English today.
Right now look in your magazine and find today's Read It.
You can practice your reading with Katie right now.
Rob and Jim will play basketball after work.
Jim is the station's weatherman.
Rob invites Mark, too.
But Mark needs to go home first.
He can meet Rob and Jim at 6:00 to practice.
They will meet at court number one at Riverside Park.
Then Rob, Jim and Mark can shoot some baskets.
Get ready, basketball fans.
We have a SPORTS lesson just for you.
Some of our friends at LTE TV are going to play some basketball together.
Yes, that's very exciting.
I wonder who will be the best player.
Will it be Rob, Mark or Jim?
Hey. That's another reason to get excited for our new lesson.
You get to meet a new friend, Jim the weatherman.
Oh, yeah.
But right now, get excited for our word lady, Christina.
She wants to teach us all about our key words for today.
Hello.
(Chinese).
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.
Right now our friends are just making plans to play basketball.
Rob wants to see if Mark wants to go.
And a great way to do that is to ask someone: Are you doing anything tonight?
Or... Are you doing anything tomorrow?
Then you can see if your friend already has other plans.
But guys, that's a good question to ask a girl before you ask her on a date.
What did you just say, Nathan?
Nothing.
But after you ask this question, then you can ask if your friend can come with
you to do something.
Yes. Tell your friend what you want to do, then ask: Can you come?
That's a great way to use today's... Calendar Phrase.
Can you come?
Can you come?
(Chinese).
I'm going to play basketball.
Can you come?
I don't play very often.
Please.
Can you come?
I don't play very well.
Please.
Can you come?
I don't shoot very well.
Please.
Can you come?
Why do you want me to come?
You have a basketball!
Can you come?
Can you come?
(Chinese).
You know, you can use that Calendar Phrase in many ways.
Like:
Can you come to the party?
Can you come hiking with us?
Or... Can you come learn some more English?
Of course you can!
And earlier, you said that our friends are planning to play basketball, right,
Nathan?
Right.
I think we might see them playing later, but now they are just making plans.
OK.
So we can learn an easy way to tell your friend your plans.
You can just say, "I plan to do something," like Rob did.
Yeah.
You might say: I plan to visit my family next week.
Or I plan to buy a TV soon.
You think you will do these things, but your plan could change.
Oh, that is a good point.
When we say that we plan to do something, it sounds like we are not sure about
it yet.
But I think Rob is sure that he will play basketball with Jim.
Oh, right, Jim the weatherman.
I can't wait for you to meet Jim.
He is a great guy.
Oh, yes. We all like Jim.
He's very good about talking about the weather on TV.
He will tell you if it's going to be hot or cold outside, or if it is going to
rain or snow one day.
That's what a weatherman does.
Now you will all meet him soon.
But right now let's go learn some more in Conversation B.
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.
(Music).
Oh, wow. Our friends at LTE TV won't just play basketball alone.
It sounds like there will be another team there.
So we might need to cheer for LTE.
Go LTE, go!
And if they are going to play a game, they really do need to practice first.
Yes. You need to practice if you want to do something well.
This game will just be for fun, but they can still practice.
Nathan, what other things should you practice for?
Hmm. Oh, I know.
If you are going to act in a play, it's very important to practice.
Practice acting with other people.
But you need to practice the words that you will say, too.
You have to remember them.
That's right.
You have to remember a lot of things when you are in a play.
And you also need to practice if you're going to give a speech at school.
You want to sound good.
And if you want to play sports well, you will need to practice a lot.
Rob, Mark and Jim are playing together for the first time.
But they are playing against another team.
Right. And they need to practice to see how they play together.
Well, right now Christina wants to teach us a phrase that's useful for talking
about sports.
(Chinese).
Do you just like watching sports?
Then tell a friend who your favorite team will play against next.
Or are you on a sports team?
Tell someone who you will play against next in English.
And then you can tell them where you will play so that they can watch you.
Oh. Did you hear where the LTE team will play after work?
Yes. Riverside Park.
But where in Riverside Park, Katie?
Oh, let me think.
Oh. I think Rob said that they will meet at court number one.
So they will probably play there.
Yes, on court number one.
There must be a few courts in the park so they give them numbers.
Court number one, court number two.
Maybe other people will play on court number two and court number three.
Well, now we have one more thing for you to try to talk about in English.
What do you bring with you to a game?
You can answer that with today's Use It sentence.
(Music).
Hi, friends.
It's time to learn about the pattern:
I have a(n) something in my something.
So you could say: I have a TV in my room.
Or... I have a pen in my bag.
This week I hope you get the chance to use it.
Thanks, Elizabeth.
That sentence is good for many things, not just sports.
And now would be a great time for a break.
We'll be rightback.
