Welcome back, everyone.
Today in our TRAVEL lesson, some of our friends are taking a road trip.
And where are they going?
They are driving to Nashville.
Now if you go on a road trip, you might want to start early.
Maybe you could leave your house early in the morning so that you can get to
your place sooner.
All right, now let's see what happens in Conversation C.
I can't believe it!
We ran out of gas!
I am so sorry.
I forgot to get gas.
What can we do?
Wait for a car to stop and help us.
Maybe someone can give you a ride to a gas station.
I hope so.
Here comes a car!
Everyone wave!
Oh, Nathan, I think there's some bad news and some good news in this
conversation.
Wait. But bad news and good news?
Well, I think we all know what the bad news is.
Our friends ran out of gas.
Has that happened to you, Katie?
Well, it's never happened before.
But I've gotten really close to running out of gas.
Running out of gas would be bad.
But if you're traveling to another city, it's a really big problem.
Yeah. You don't know a lot about where you are.
You don't know if there is a gas station close to you or not.
But what's the good news, Katie?
Well, Nathan, I promise that I will tell you right after Christina teaches us
about the idiom: run out of.
(Chinese).
Oh. It would be really bad if you ran out of gas and out of money.
Then you might run out of time for your trip.
Well, at least our friends still have some money even if they don't have gas.
Is that the good news, Katie?
Well, no. I wasn't thinking about that.
The good news is that they didn't have to wait too long before they saw a car.
One came by quickly.
Yes, that was good because some roads don't have many cars on them.
But we don't know if the car stopped.
Some people don't like to stop for people that are standing next to the road.
That's true.
And actually, in the United States, people are not supposed to walk next to the
highways and try to get rides.
It's against the law.
That's right.
It's dangerous to do that.
And it's not always good to stop for people, especially if you don't know them.
But if you run out of gas or if there is a problem with your car, you really
need to get help.
That's right.
So then it's OK to wave down a car.
Other drivers could help you.
But it's also good to call the police.
They can send someone to help, also.
So be careful when you take long trips.
Make sure you have enough gas and your car is working well.
And now we want to make sure that you know your key words.
Let's try the first one.
long.

John waited a long time.
medium.

This is a small size, not a medium size.
leave.

Please put gas in the car.

Mary waved at Sammy.
Try to use all of your key words and don't forget them.
Well, we want to continue our review right now.
So let's go back and watch all of today's conversations together.
I'm excited about our long weekend.
Let's plan a road trip!
Where do you want to go?
Let's go to Nashville!
Nashville? Why?
Because we can eat good food there.
And we can listen to good music.
Good idea!
Where can we stay?
My uncle and his family live in Nashville.
We can stay with them.
Who can drive?
I can. I have a new, medium-sized car.
It's comfortable.
OK. We can leave early Friday morning.
How early?
How about 6:00?
That's too early.
No, it's not.
How far is Nashville?
It's six or seven hours from here.
Then we can be there in time for lunch!
I can't believe it!
We ran out of gas!
I am so sorry.
I forgot to get gas.
What can we do?
Wait for a car to stop and help us.
Maybe someone can give you a ride to a gas station.
I hope so.
Here comes a car!
Everyone wave!
(Music).
Hey, Ginger.
I have an idea.
Oh, no. What is it?
Let's take a road trip!
A road trip?
Me and you together?
Yes. Road trips are fun.
Yeah, fun for you.
This road trip would be fun for you, too.
Really?
Well, where will we go?
Let's go to Nashville!
Nashville? Why?
Because I love good music.
Wait, I have a better idea.
Oh, what is it?
Let's go to banana land!
Banana land? Why?
Because I love bananas.
Nashville!
Banana land!
Nashville!
Banana land!
Nashville!
Banana land!
Nashville!
(Music).
Well, we've learned some English today.
But we hope that you also have learned a little about traveling in cars when you
are in the United States.
Our friends made a big mistake.
They ran out of gas.
I'm sure they will be more careful next time.
But we can all learn from them, too.
That's right.
So if you go on a road trip, make sure that you have plenty of gas in your car.
But we learned some other things, too.
You should leave early for long trips.
If you do that, you'll finish sooner.
And be careful when you stop to help people next to the road.
These are all good travel lessons.
And there will be more tomorrow, too.
So we hope that you come back and see us right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
