Hello, everyone.
It's great to see you today.
We're going to have some fun here in the LTE TV studio.
My name is Nathan.
I'm one of your teachers here.
Now today we have a new topic:
OFFICE.
And our lesson is called, Where Are My Keys?
Where Are My Keys?
Oh, Nathan, did you lose your keys?
I hate it when that happens.
Maybe this lesson will help you find them.
Oh, no, no, no, no. I didn't lose them.
I was just saying the name of the lesson, Katie.
Oh, don't be embarrassed, Nathan.
It happens to everyone.
Right, everyone?
My name is Katie, and I'm really excited to learn a lot with you all today.
Well, I'm glad you're excited.
Why don't we practice our reading with Katie now?
You can find your Read It in your magazine and read it together.
Have you ever lost your keys?
Where did you look for them?
Were they at the bottom of a drawer?
Were they underneath your bed?
Did you leave them in your pocket?
Sometimes you can lose things in unusual places, like a trash can.
Next time you lose something, ask a friend for help!
Yes. It always helps when some other people can help you look for something that
you lose.
You can find it more quickly that way.
Ooh, Nathan, I can help you look for your keys.
We can find them together.
That's very nice of you, Katie.
But I don't need you to look for my keys because they aren't lost...
Maybe this lesson will give us some ideas for places to look.
But we'll understand this lesson more if we look at today's key words with
Christina.
So let's do that now.
Hello.
(Chinese).
Have you seen my keys, Mark?
I can't find them anywhere!
No, I haven't.
Did you check at the bottom of your bag?
Yes. They're not in my bag.
Could they be on your desk?
No, they're not there, either!
Can you help me look?
I have a meeting in five minutes!
Sure. Where did you last see them?
Now we know who lost their keys.
It was Carol.
And she's a little worried about it.
Ooh, I would be worried about it, too.
I lose my keys all the time.
But it always makes me nervous when I can't find them.
I understand.
If you don't have your keys, you can't get in your home or maybe you can't use
your car.
That's right.
And those problems are not easy to fix.
You may have to pay someone to help you get in your apartment or your car.
But sometimes other people have the same keys, so they can help you.
You may need to use their key to make a new one.
Oh, that's good to remember.
And so is this.
If you lose your keys, you can say that you lost your keys.
But you can also say that your keys are lost.
Oh, yes.
We might use the word "lost" both ways today.
Carol lost her keys and can't find them anywhere.
That means that everywhere she looks, she doesn't find them.
If you say that you can't find something, you have not found what you're looking
for.
If you can't find it anywhere, you have already looked in many places.
Yes. It's just a small difference when you say anywhere.
But there are a lot of places to look.
If you have a bag, look in it.
It might be there.
If you have a desk, look in that.
It might be there.
Nathan, have you looked for your keys in both of those places?
My bag and my desk...
Well, I don't use a bag, so my keys would not be there.
But I could look in my desk; they could be in a drawer or they might...
Wait.
I don't need to look anywhere because I didn't lose my keys.
Come on, Katie, don't you understand?
I did not lose my keys?
Well, I'm just trying to help you find them, Nathan.
You don't have to get mad about it.
Maybe you can think about where you put them last.
Where was the last place you remember seeing them?
Make sure that you look everywhere.
Now while Nathan thinks, why don't we have Christina help us with some English.
She wants to tell you all about the word "last" and how to use it in a sentence.
(Chinese).
When I came into my office, I put them on that table.
But now they're not there!
Could they be in your desk?
Maybe they're in a drawer?
No, they're not in my desk.
I'll look underneath the desk.
They're not under there, either!
I looked.
Did they fall behind the desk?
No. Maybe they fell on the floor somewhere?
I'll keep looking.
(Music).
Oh. Well, this doesn't look good.
Mark and Carol are looking for her keys in a lot of places, but they still have
not found them.
They looked all around her desk, but they're not there.
I guess they need to look in some other places.
Well, yes. But we need to look at the words that Nathan just used.
They're and there.
They sound the same, but they mean different things.
Oh, yes.
And you need to remember what they mean.
They're, T-H-E-Y-apostrophe-R-E, means they are.
My friends didn't come inside.
They're waiting in the car.
That's right.
And there, T-H-E-R-E, can mean many things.
But here it means a place that you are talking about.
My shoes are by the door.
I always leave them there.
OK. But let's add one more.
Their, T-H-E-I-R, means belonging to them.
Their clothes were all wet after it rained.
When you talk, these words sound the same.
But if you write them, they all look different.
So try to remember them all.
Sometimes it's even hard for us to remember the right way to spell them.
But now let's see if we can remember all the places that Carol and Mark looked
for her keys.
First, they looked in Carol's desk.
That means they looked in the desk drawers.
And they were not there.
Hey. How do you spell that there?
That's right. T-H-E-R-E.
Just checking.
Now they could also check underneath the desk.
But Carol already looked there.
And they're not under the desk.
Under and underneath mean the same thing.
OK. Now, what if something is behind a desk?
What does that mean?
Well, if something is behind a desk, I would think that the desk is against a
wall.
So behind the desk would mean between the desk and the wall.
Me, too.
But the keys aren't there, either.
So if they're not around the desk, they might be on the floor somewhere.
And that's where Mark... that's where Mark will look.
As they keep looking, let's hear today's Calendar Phrase.
Keep looking.
Keep looking.
(Chinese).
I can't find my glasses.
Keep looking.
They're not on the table.
Keep looking.
They're not in my pockets.
Keep looking.
And they're not under the table.
Keep looking.
Where?
On your head!
You're wearing them!
Keep looking.
Keep looking.
(Chinese).
I'm sure our friends will keep looking until they find the keys.
But now we need to take a break.
See you in just a few minutes.
