Welcome back to today's HEALTH lesson.
Sometimes we can say:
Hey, you are looking healthy.
But sometimes we say:
You're looking good.
Or:
You're looking great today.
What can you say, friends?
That's right.
And we also learned about the phrase "being in shape." If you're in shape, that
usually means that you are in good health.
So, do you think you are in shape?
Right now, we need to learn some more in Conversation C.
Let's go there now.
I should make an appointment for a checkup.
If you care about your health, you should.
I do.
Two people in my family had stomach cancer.
So I get a checkup every year.
That's good.
No one wants to get cancer!
No one wants to get any disease!
True.
So we should try to stay healthy.
And get a checkup every year!
Well, yesterday we talked about having a doctor's appointment or another kind of
appointment.
Today we talked about making an appointment.
And how do you do that?
Well, I know someone who knows how to make an appointment.
Christina.
So let's hear what she has to say about that.
(Chinese).
Thank you, Christina.
Now maybe you can make an appointment to see a doctor in English.
Or maybe you need to go to a different kind of doctor like the eye doctor.
Well, if you care about your health, you should do that.
And hey! That's our Use It sentence for today.
So let's take a look.
(Music).
Let's look at the pattern:
If you care about something, you should do something.
For example:
If you care about your family, you should spend time with them.
Or:
If you care about your teeth, you should brush them every day.
Friends, if you care about learning English, you should use it!
(Music).
Well, thank you, Elizabeth.
So, friends, try to make that appointment today.
Susie gets a checkup, too.
And she has a good reason to do that.
Yes, we find out that she gets a checkup because two people in her family had
stomach cancer.
Oh, that's really terrible, Nathan.
That is terrible.
Cancer is a really bad illness, friends.
It's hard to take care of that disease.
And cancer is a disease that you can get if people in your family had it before
you.
Hmm, right.
So if your mom or dad had cancer, you could get it someday, too.
And that's why it's so important for you to get a checkup.
If doctors discover you have cancer early, maybe then they can fix it.
I think that's why Susie gets a checkup every year.
No one wants to get cancer because it is such a terrible disease.
Yeah. I agree.
I know some people who have had cancer.
And it's really hard to get well from that disease.
So this is another reason it's important to stay healthy.
You want to take care of your body.
Yes, you want to make sure that everything is OK.
And you can do that by exercising or eating well.
And you can also take care of your English by reviewing your key words.
Here is the first key word for today.
several.
several.
Several people are waiting for the bus.
flu.
flu.
Mary is sick.
She has the flu.
discover.
discover.
Dan discovered a cat in his car!
cancer.
cancer.
Rita is very sick.
She has cancer.
disease.
disease.
Lynn has a dangerous disease.
All right, everyone, those are all of the key words for today.
Make sure that you practice them.
Right now we want to review today's conversations.
Well, Rob, you look pretty healthy.
Thanks, doctor.
I feel pretty good.
I didn't get sick much this year.
Did you get a flu shot last fall?
Yes, I did.
Good.
And do you get enough exercise?
Yes.
I exercise several times a week.
Good! Keep doing that.
And don't eat too many snacks.
You'll gain weight.
I know.
How was your checkup, Rob?
It was fine.
I'm in good health.
I'm glad.
So the doctor didn't discover any health problems?
No.
My blood pressure is good.
But I should lose a little weight.
You're not the only one!
But everything else is fine.
I'm in good shape.
I try to take care of my body.
I should make an appointment for a checkup.
If you care about your health, you should.
I do.
Two people in my family had stomach cancer.
So I get a checkup every year.
That's good.
No one wants to get cancer!
No one wants to get any disease!
True.
So we should try to stay healthy.
And get a checkup every year!
OK, Ginger, it's time for your checkup.
No, Monkey Man! No!
Ginger, checkups keep you healthy.
No! Monkey Man!
Hmm... Well, you... you look pretty healthy.
Yes, I'm pretty.
And I'm healthy.
OK.
Let me listen to your heart.
Oh!
It sounds good.
OK.
Let me check your ears now, OK?
Oh, your ears are pretty big.
What? Yeah, they are, thanks.
Let me check your eyes.
OK.
Tell me what you see.
I see a white coat.
Your eyes are fine.
Ha, ha, good.
OK, is my checkup over?
Almost.
There's just one more thing I have to give you.
Ooh. Good.
Almost over.
Your flu shot!
Ah! No! Monkey Man, no!
Ginger, this won't hurt a bit.
Just stay still, OK?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
Say "ah.".
Ah.
It's that time again.
Time for Let's Play!
Let's see who our players are.
I'm Larry.
You all know me.
I'm Mitch.
Hi, everybody. I'm Trisha.
And of course, you can play from home.
And today we are playing - What's That Word?
I forgot how to play that.
He is going to talk about a word, and we have to guess what it is.
You're right.
It's a key word from today or yesterday's lesson.
Are you ready?
This word is a noun.
Come on.
Most of the key words are nouns.
Healthy! It's important to stay healthy.
Healthy is not a noun.
Sorry.
Well, um... good try.
Here's your next clue.
It is a part of your body.
Anyone? Anyone?
Larry? Give it a try!
Um...
Brain?
Ha. Your body doesn't have a brain, silly!
You're a puppy.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot.
Well, um, most people do have brains.
But that's not a key word.
However, this is something very close to your brain.
I know the answer. This is too easy.
Heart.
Your heart is not too far from your brain.
And everybody has a heart.
But you don't.
Hey!
I don't think you have a heart.
You're mean.
Anyway, heart is not the correct word.
There's another part of the body even closer to your brain.
It's on your head.
Keep going.
I'm listening.
Yes, yes, you use this to listen.
I use my ears to listen.
Is it ear?
Yes, yes, yes! You're exactly right.
And Trisha is our winner for today.
Thank you so much for joining us.
And we'll see you next time right here on...
Let's Play!
And that's our lesson for today.
This was a great lesson on HEALTH.
Yes, it's really important that you take care of yourself.
Maybe you should all get a checkup if you have not done that yet this year.
That's a great idea.
That will help you stay healthy.
And maybe you can also find a way to stay in shape.
That's true.
Friends, you can try to eat healthy and exercise.
Those things will help you be in good health.
Well, now we need to go.
But we hope that you join us for a new lesson tomorrow.
We'll talk about something new and something fun.
Come back and see us here on...
Let's Talk in English. Goodbye.
(Music).
