Welcome back, everyone.
Today Rob had a doctor's appointment.
He is getting a checkup.
And we talked about how you should get a checkup every year because that will
really help you stay healthy.
Now what does a doctor do at a checkup?
Well, he will check a few things like your eyes and your ears and your heart.
It helps keep you healthy.
Now let's move on to Conversation C.
Hello, Rob. How are you?
Just fine, Dr. Adams.
Good, good.
Did the nurse check your height and weight?
Yes, she did.
And she checked your blood pressure.
It's not high this year.
I'm glad.
I was a little worried about it.
High blood pressure can be dangerous.
I know.
OK. Let's check your eyes and ears.
(Music).
Well, now Rob is talking to the doctor.
He's going to ask Rob questions about his health to find out more about him.
So the first thing the doctor wants to know is if the nurse checked his height
and weight.
Oh. This is important to know.
Friends, a nurse is someone who helps a doctor.
That's right.
A nurse will often check on a person before the doctor does.
And this nurse checked Rob's height and weight for him.
Oh.
Do you know those words?
Your height is how tall you are.
And even though height sounds like the word high, H-I-G-H, it's not spelled that
way.
That's right.
Height is spelled H-E-I-G-H-T.
So don't forget that, friends.
Now how tall are you?
Do you know what your height is?
And doctors need to know your weight.
A doctor or nurse might ask you how heavy you are.
So it's important that you should tell them.
If you gain a lot of weight or lose a lot of weight, the doctors need to know...
because gaining too much weight or losing too much can be bad for your health.
Oh. And we find out about Rob's blood pressure.
It's not high this year.
That's really good.
That means Rob's health is good, too.
Well, that's great.
And that's really good for Rob.
I know he was worried about it. Hey, that's a good sentence for us to know.
Hmm, yes.
Sometimes we worry about something.
So you can say: I'm worried about my grandparents or I'm worried about school.
I'm worried about work.
That's right.
And that's also something that Christina wants to teach you all about.
So let's go to her for some help right now.
(Chinese).
(Music).
So, friends, what are you worried about?
We hope it's nothing too serious.
Yes. It's never fun to worry about things.
But now we learn a couple other important things in this conversation.
Yes.
The doctor says that high blood pressure can be dangerous.
It is dangerous because it's bad for your health.
Sometimes things are dangerous.
Maybe eating too much candy is dangerous because it's also bad for our health.
Or getting too stressed out is dangerous because it can hurt your heart.
So make sure that you think about these things, friends.
And now let's review our key words together.
Say them with us.
Here we go.

Jon's heart is strong.
He runs a lot.

Well, everyone, remember to practice your key words and try to remember them
all.
Now we want to watch today's conversations again.
Good job on your report, Susie.
Thanks, Rob!
Let's go get some coffee.
I can't.
I have a doctor's appointment at 3:00.
Are you sick?
No. I just need a checkup.
Do you have one every year?
Yes, I do.
Good for you.
Checkups keep you healthy.
Hi, Carol.
I'm leaving now.
Where are you going?
I have a doctor's appointment at 3:00.
That's right!
You're going for a checkup.
Yes. The doctor will check my heart and my blood pressure.
Good!
You don't want any heart problems!
I know.
Last year my blood pressure was a little high.
Hello, Rob.
How are you?
Just fine, Dr. Adams.
Good, good.
Did the nurse check your height and weight?
Yes, she did.
And she checked your blood pressure.
It's not high this year.
I'm glad.
I was a little worried about it.
High blood pressure can be dangerous.
I know.
OK. Let's check your eyes and ears.
Hello, Ginger.
Hello, Monkey Man.
Hey, let's go buy bananas today.
Oh, I'm sorry, I can't.
I have a doctor's appointment.
Sorry. Get well soon.
Ginger, I'm not sick.
What?
Then why are you going to the doctor?
I'm going to get a checkup.
A checkup? Is that important?
Yes. Checkups keep you healthy.
Oh. What will the doctor check?
Well, he'll check my heart.
I hope you have one.
And he'll check my eyes and ears.
I'm glad you're getting a checkup.
I'm glad it's you - and not me! Ha...
Don't laugh, Ginger.
You're getting a checkup tomorrow.
Ohhhh!
Today we're going to Answer It!
So here is question one.
What does Rob have at 3:00?
What does Rob have at 3:00?
Look at Conversation A.
He has a doctor's appointment.
Time for question two.
Do you have a checkup every year?
Why or why not?
Do you have a checkup every year?
Why or why not?
Let's see how our friends answer it!
Do I have a checkup every year?
Well, no, I don't.
I heard that I should, but I'm just so busy nowadays.
I have work.
I play basketball with my friends after work.
I just don't have time and I don't really like to go to the doctor.
But many people say that I should have a checkup every year.
Maybe I should start this year.
Does the Monkey Man have a checkup every year?
Well, I know I should have a medical checkup and a dental checkup every year.
But when you spend most of your life looking for adventure in the jungle like I
do, it's hard to plan ahead and make time for a doctor's visit.
I mean, I could spend a week or two on a raft floating down a river that's full
of alligators.
Or I could spend half a year learning to talk to monkeys in some far-off
tropical jungle.
Do I have a checkup every year?
Yes. I have a checkup every single year because my health is important to me.
I don't like checkups and I don't like to see the doctor.
But I need to go every single year.
That way the doctor can check my heart, my eyes, my hearing, my weight -
everything.
And he can tell me that I'm healthy.
Well, everyone, make sure that you think about getting a checkup soon,
and join us for part two of this lesson tomorrow right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
