Welcome back, everyone.
Today we saw Mark get a schedule from his boss, Carol.
Do you get schedules from your boss?
I wonder what is on Mark's schedule.
Well, he has meetings and interviews on his schedule.
His meetings are a half hour long, which means that they are 30 minutes long.
OK. Let's see what else is happening in Conversation C right now.
I just have one question.
What's that?
What's this lunch the day after tomorrow?
Some guests will visit the station.
Some of us will eat lunch with them.
OK. Will it be a long lunch?
No. I don't think so.
Good. I have a program at 1:30.
You can be back in time for it.
(Music).
And that's what schedules are good for.
They make sure that you have enough time for everything you need to do.
Yes, they are great for that.
By looking at his schedule, Mark can plan to be back for his program in time.
He doesn't want to be late.
And I know how he feels.
If I was late for this program, I would be making a lot of people wait for me.
And that would not be good.
Oh, I know.
I don't like being late for things, either.
Especially for programs.
The program that Mark is talking about is probably a TV show.
Yes. Because Mark is on the news.
And he wants to be back in time to make his news program.
Now let's get some help with the phrase "in time" from our friend Christina.
(Chinese).
Thanks, Christina.
Now you're all back just in time to learn a few more things with us today.
Nathan, what else would be good to learn today?
Hmm. Well, do you all remember the first thing that Mark said to Carol in
Conversation C?
The first... the first thing he said?
Oh, he asked her a question, right?
Hmm, close.
But he said something else first.
First he said that he had a question for her.
And that's great for everyone to learn.
Oh... I think I know what you mean.
Sometimes we need to talk to people that are busy.
It's always good to say that we have a question before we just ask them.
You got it, Katie.
Like this, you need to ask your teacher something but they are working at their
desk.
Before you ask your question, say something like: Teacher, may I ask you
something?
Oh, yes, that would be very polite.
You can also ask if she has time by saying: Teacher, do you have a minute?
And that way, you can also use a key word.
Great.
And you can find a way to use all of your key words and today's Use It, too.
Now let's see what today's Use It is right now.
(Music).
Hi, I'm Elizabeth.
Today we're going to look at the pattern:
Some of us can do something.
For example: Some of us can walk home.
Or... Some of us can go and get the food.
Friends, it's your turn to use it.
(Music).
Well, thanks for your help, Elizabeth.
Now, friends, it's time for us to review today's key words.
Say them with us now.
And the first word is:
schedule.
schedule.
Do you have a busy schedule today?

There are 60 minutes in one hour.

I can stay for half an hour.

Do you understand this message?
I don't.
day after tomorrow.
day after tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow is Wednesday.
Remember to practice all of your key words, so you can use... use them the right
way.
OK. Now let's review today's conversations together.
Hi, Carol.
Hi, Mark.
Are you ready for a new week?
Sure! What's on my schedule?
You have a lot of interviews.
That's good.
Do I have one every day?
Yes. And you have two on Thursday.
Are they long interviews?
No. Each one is about 40 minutes.
Good. That's not too long.
Here is your schedule.
Take a look.
Thanks.
There are some meetings on my schedule.
Yes. But they are not long.
They will only be half an hour.
That's good.
You don't like my meetings?
Well, I, er...
Don't worry.
I understand.
All of us are busy people.
Yes, we are!
Let's get back to work!
I just have one question.
What's that?
What's this lunch the day after tomorrow?
Some guests will visit the station.
Some of us will eat lunch with them.
OK. Will it be a long lunch?
No. I don't think so.
Good.
I have a program at 1:30.
You can be back in time for it.
(Music).
Hello, Ginger.
Are you ready for a new week?
Yeah. And this week is really busy.
Really?
Well, what's on your schedule?
Lots of things.
Take a look.
Hmm. Wow, your schedule is full!
I know.
I have important interviews.
Well, I can see that.
And I have important meetings.
Wow, I see that as well.
I'm a very important monkey.
Hey, I just have one question.
Yeah, what's that, Monkey Man?
Why don't I have any important meetings and... why don't I have any important
interviews?
Uh, Monkey Man, that's two questions.
(Music).
Now let's Answer It.
Question one.
How many interviews does Mark have on Thursday?
How many interviews does Mark have on Thursday?
You can find the answer in Conversation A.
He has two on Thursday.
Here is question two.
What is on your schedule?
Talk about it.
What is on your schedule?
Talk about it.
Let's hear some answers from our friends.
What is on my schedule? Talk about it.
Well, let's take a look.
I have some important meetings. Mmhm.
Yes, and I have some important interviews, too.
Well, I must be a really important person, huh!
What else is on my schedule?
Let's see.
Oh. Coffee.
I spilled it on my schedule this morning.
What's on your schedule?
What is on my schedule?
Lots of things.
I've been so busy lately.
Well, I have a lot of meetings for work.
That makes my schedule pretty full.
But then after work I have meetings with friends.
I'm going to dinner tonight, tomorrow night and a couple more times per week.
Plus, I have to remember to do chores like go to the grocery store and clean my
house.
I have a really full schedule.
What is on my schedule?
In the morning, I receive many phone calls from different people.
Some will call me to ask about the office schedule for today or to confirm an
event for next week.
In the afternoon, I can be at a meeting to discuss about a project.
But I make sure that tea time is on my schedule as well so that I can stay awake
for the rest of the day.
It's a busy work trying to keep track of the office schedule.
But it is a fun job because I learn a lot just by talking and meeting with so
many people.
What is on my schedule?
Well, I have a lot of things on my schedule.
Actually, I have two different schedules.
I have my work schedule.
And then I have a schedule that I have for after work.
On my work schedule, I have interviews and meetings.
And also, I have to go and do research.
And then for my after work schedule, I exercise and spend time with my friends.
I have a busy life.
Well, that's all of the time we have for today, everyone.
See you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
