Welcome back, everyone.
Today we have been talking about travel.
And Rob is interviewing a flight attendant on the show.
And like we've learned, being a flight attendant is a lot of hard work.
Yeah.
How do they keep everyone happy on the plane?
And it's also important for them to talk about safety.
OK, let's continue with today's lesson with Conversation C.
Hello, Jen.
Welcome to the program.
Thank you, Rob.
I'm excited to talk about my job as a flight attendant.
Great!
What is a flight attendant's job?
We serve passengers, and we try to keep them safe.
So safety is your number one job.
Right.
We talk about safety before every flight.
And passengers should listen.
Yes, they should!
Well, Jen is finally here.
So now we can learn from her and find out the answers to our questions.
So, first we find out the most important part of a flight attendant's job.
What do you think it is, Nathan?
Hmm. I think the most important part is giving drinks to the passengers.
Well, no, that's not it.
Do you want to try again?
Really? I'm... I'm wrong?
OK. Well, is the most important part keeping people happy?
Well, that's an important thing.
But the most important part of a flight attendant's job is safety.
Safety, of course.
Safety is the number one job of flight attendants.
Now "number one job" just means it's the most important thing to think about.
That's right.
So what are some things flight attendants have to do to make sure people are
safe?
Oh, good question.
I know flight attendants have to make sure that passengers wear a seat belt at
all times.
That's right.
Seat belts keep you in your seat if the plane gets shaky.
And we also wear seat belts when we're riding in cars.
Oh, yes, that's true, too.
So what are some other things you can do for safety on an airplane?
Ooh, I know!
You can stay in your seat most of the time on the plane.
Flight attendants tell you when it's safe to walk around the plane.
Hmm, yes.
Flight attendants have to walk through the plane.
So it's safer if people sit most of the time so that the flight attendants can
move around.
Well, is there anything else flight attendants can do?
Hmm, I think flight attendants can learn today's Calendar Phrase.
Yes, they should.
Yes, they should.
(Chinese).
Students should listen.
Yes, they should.
Students should listen carefully.
Yes, they should.
It's important.
Students should always listen.
Yes, they should.
Now what did I just say?
Oh. I don't know.
I wasn't listening.
Well, you should.
Yes, they should.
Yes, they should.
(Chinese).
Well, now we have just a little time to learn something else from Christina.
She wants to talk to you all about the word: as.
(Chinese).
OK. Now let's review our key words together.
And the first key word is:

OK, those are all of our key words for today.
Right now we're going to review today's conversations.
Hi, Rob.
Who are you interviewing today?
I'm interviewing a flight attendant.
She should be here any minute.
A flight attendant's job must be fun.
Why do you say that?
Flight attendants get to travel a lot.
True.
But they also work hard.
I know.
They have to keep passengers happy!
And that's not always easy!
Besides serving passengers, what do flight attendants do?
I'm not sure.
I'm going to ask Jen.
She's the flight attendant.
Ask her to tell you about some unusual experiences, too.
I will.
Flight attendants meet lots of people.
And many of them are nice but some are not.
Right.
Some people can be quite rude.
Well, here comes Jen!
OK, I'll see you later!
Hello, Jen.
Welcome to the program.
Thank you, Rob.
I'm excited to talk about my job as a flight attendant.
Great!
What is a flight attendant's job?
We serve passengers, and we try to keep them safe.
So safety is your number one job.
Right.
We talk about safety before every flight.
And passengers should listen.
Yes, they should!
Hello, Ginger.
Please put your luggage under your seat.
Uh, what luggage?
Please wear your seat belt.
What seat belt?
Please look for the closest exit.
Ginger, what are you doing?
I'm practicing for my new career.
New career!
Yeah. I want to be a flight attendant.
Oh, really?
Yeah. Flight attendants get to travel a lot.
That's true. But they have to work very hard.
Flight attendants meet nice people.
They also meet rude people.
Ooh, yeah.
Well, I can be rude, too!
No, you can't, Ginger, because flight attendants should always be nice.
Oh. Then forget it.
That's what I thought.
(Music).
So, do any of you want to be a flight attendant now?
I think it would be an interesting job.
Nathan, now that you know more about being a flight attendant, would you want to
do the job?
I don't know.
I think it would be tiring to be a flight attendant.
But there are a lot of things to think about if you're a flight attendant, too.
That's right.
You have to keep a lot of people happy and that is a lot of hard work.
You have to serve passengers and keep them safe.
Remember, safety is the number one job of flight attendants.
And I'm glad that it is.
When I fly, I want someone around who cares a lot about the passengers' safety.
Well, we've learned a lot today, but there's more to learn tomorrow about a
flight attendant's job.
So we'll see you then here on...
Let's Talk in English. Bye-bye.
(Music).
