Thanks for joining us again, everyone.
Today on our show we talked a lot about flowers.
Our friends for... visited a flower market for eREPORT.
And do you remember where flowers come from?
Well, they could come from a few places.
They might come from outside in the field or in a nursery.
Now let's learn some more in the next part of today's eREPORT.
At a flower market, finding the right flowers is hard work.
After a person finds and pays for the flowers, they can also get someone to help
them gift-wrap the flowers.
Gift-wrapping is a special way to give flowers to someone.
In Asia, gift-wrapping flowers is very popular.
A person will often clean the flowers first, then cut them and wash them with
water.
Usually, some other flowers and plants are added to the flowers.
Then comes the wrapping paper.
There is usually a lot of paper, tape and ribbons.
Sometimes the way the flowers are wrapped is nicer than the flowers.
The people who gift-wrap the flowers are very quick and enjoy their work.
Don't forget to get a card.
You can write a short message on it and sign your name.
Then the person who gets the flowers will know where they came from.
Ah, there it is.
Look at this big, beautiful bouquet of tulips.
Wait, these are tulips, right?
Hey, wait a minute.
These don't look like tulips.
I think these are roses.
I don't want roses.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm buying flowers for my friend, not my girlfriend.
Oh, no!
If she sees these roses, she's going to think that I like her.
She'll think that I'm in love with her and... and... and then... and then... and
then she won't be sad anymore.
Well, hey, I guess that's not so bad.
Roses are good, too.
Besides, these are not red roses.
Red roses mean love.
Well, these are very nice.
But she won't think that I'm in love with her.
I think it's OK.
Well, this is Gabe for eREPORT, smelling the roses.
(Music).
Well, now we need to learn about the last part of our eREPORT.
After you buy the flowers, someone will wrap them up for you.
Yes, that's true.
They will put the flowers in pretty paper and make it look really nice.
But what is this called?
Ooh. It's called a bouquet.
Sorry. Sorry, Nathan.
It's called a bouquet.
And we say this word two different ways in English.
Yes, we do.
You can say bouquet or bouquet.
Both are OK to use.
And making a bouquet for someone makes the flowers look even nicer.
That's right.
You wrap a present in paper when you give it to someone.
So it's nice to wrap up flowers, too.
And make them look even prettier.
And sometimes the way the flowers are wrapped is prettier than the flowers.
Hey. That's a great sentence to talk to Christina about.
(Chinese).
Well, thanks, Christina.
That was really helpful.
So, friends, do you think a bouquet of flowers would be a good gift?
I do.
Now we find out the people who wrap the flowers are very quick and they enjoy
their jobs.
Hmm, Katie, how fast did you wrap flowers when you worked at the flower store?
Ooh, I had to wrap them so fast.
I worked on Mother's Day and there were so many people.
I spent six hours making bouquets.
Oh, wow!
But did you enjoy your job like the people in our eREPORT do?
I did.
Working at a flower shop is hard, but it's a lot of fun.
People are happy when they buy flowers.
So that must make the job fun.
OK. Now it's time for us to move on and practice today's key words together.
Here's the first key word for today.

Oh, this Doraemon... he's so funny.
I just love him.
I wonder what else he's going to pull out of his pocket.

Listen to this, guys. Guys?
Well, what a great lesson.
I love flowers and I hope that you enjoyed learning some things about them.
Weren't they pretty?
Well, they are, Katie.
Now you said that a lot this lesson.
Well, I really like flowers.
I think that they're the best thing in the whole world.
And they're a great gift for anyone.
All right.
Well, what about you, everyone?
Do you like flowers more now?
Or do you think that you would like to work at a flower market?
It can be a great job.
But you have to be able to work quickly.
And you have to know how to take care of flowers.
But you can learn, too.
And you can also learn English with us.
We hope you liked this lesson and learned a lot.
Make sure that you join us Monday for new lessons.
