Welcome back, everyone.
So in our lesson today, Ken and Susie are on their way to an accident.
And they were driving there, but something happened.
They got lost while they were driving there.
So that's why you should bring directions with you if you're going somewhere
new.
Or maybe you can take a map.
That will also help.
Well, let's see what happens next in Conversation C.
Are we on the right road?
Where are we?
We're on Spring Road.
I think.
Look for the gas station.
Hey! There it is!
Did Megan say "Bob's Gas Station"?
This is Bill's Gas Station.
I... can't remember.
Let's turn right there.
This is probably the street!
OK...
I hope Susie is right.
They really need to get to the accident so that people can watch the news and
know about it.
And they're trying, but they aren't sure if they're going the right way.
But they did see Bill's Gas Station.
They should be close.
Well, maybe.
Or were they supposed to look for Bob's Gas Station?
Hmm. I guess I don't remember, either.
But do you really think there's a Bob's Gas Station and a Bill's Gas Station?
Well, I know the names are almost the same, but they could be two different
places.
I just remember they were supposed to look for a gas station.
Well, I guess we'll see.
But you just used a good phrase, Katie.
Look for.
When you go somewhere new, you often have to look for things.
Yeah, like buildings, maybe a gas station or a restaurant.
What else do you have to look for, Nathan?
Hmm. Oh, you often have to look for signs that tell you where to go.
Or you might need to look for road names.
Those are very important.
Of course.
You can use this phrase at other times, too.
Sometimes you have to look for the right thing to buy when you go to a store.
And if you lose something that you need, you will need to look for it in
different places until you find it.
And when you find what you're looking for, you can say: There it is!
It always feels good when you find something.
Oh! That is right.
One time I went running and my keys fell out of my pocket.
I couldn't believe it.
I had to walk back to find them, looking at every place that I ran.
But when I found them, I said there they are.
I was so glad that I found my keys.
Oh. Well, I'm sure you were glad.
How long did it take you to find them?
Oh, it just took a few minutes actually.
I thought I had an idea of where they could be.
Oh, well, that's really good.
If you didn't find your keys, you couldn't get back into your apartment.
And I'm sure that you will be glad to review today's key words with us right
now.
So let's do that.
Here's the first key word.
Hey, where... where's the key word, everyone?
We need some key words.
Ah, oh... oh.
I think there it is.

Try to remember all of today's key words.
Right now let's continue our review by looking back at our conversations for
today.
Are you ready?
I am!
Let's go.
Do you have your camera?
Yes. Do you have the directions?
No. But we can find the place.
OK. This is a really important story.
Right. Let's hurry.
Are we taking your car?
No. Let's take the station's truck.
Ken, where are you and Susie?
You're lost?
OK. I can talk to Carol and call you back.
They're lost?
Yes.
This is a really important story, too.
It's about a big accident.
They need to get there fast!
Tell them this:
Go east on Spring Road.
Look for Bob's Gas Station.
Turn right at the gas station.
OK. I'll tell them.
Are we on the right road?
Where are we?
We're on Spring Road.
I think.
Look for the gas station.
Hey! There it is!
Did Megan say "Bob's Gas Station"?
This is Bill's Gas Station.
I... can't remember.
Let's turn right there.
This is probably the street!
OK...
Oh. Oh, no! I'm lost.
I'm lost.
Ginger, you're not lost.
You're here in the Jungle Cafe.
Oh. Then I am lost. Oh, no!
Lost! Ginger, what do you mean?
Well, I want to go to the Banana Barn.
The Banana Barn.
Yeah. Is this the Banana Barn?
No. It's the Jungle Cafe.
So how can I find the Banana Barn?
Well, do you have directions?
No. And I need to get there fast.
It's really important.
Why is it so important?
I'm really hungry.
And bananas are on sale!
On sale!
I'm kind of hungry, too.
Let's, let's go!
Yeah! Come on. Come on.
Well, today we are going to Answer It.
So here is question one.
What is the important story about?
What is the important story about?
You can find the answer in Conversation B.
It's about a big accident.
OK. Time for question two.
Do you ever get lost?
What do you do?
Do you ever get lost?
What do you do?
Let's hear from our friends.
Do I ever get lost?
What do I do?
Yes, I get lost sometimes.
It is easy for me to get lost when I go to a new place.
I don't know the roads very well.
So I may make a wrong turn.
When I get lost, I ask my husband to help me.
My husband is very good with directions.
He's my GPS.
Do I ever get lost and what do I do?
Yes, of course I get lost.
Since I moved here a little while ago, I've gotten lost all the time.
Thankfully we have smartphones, right?
I can look at the map and it can tell me exactly where I am.
And I can find directions to the place I need to go.
If I'm hungry, I just search fast food restaurant.
And, hey, there's one right next to me.
Do I ever get lost?
What do I do?
To be honest.
First, I panic.
And then I remember to calm myself down.
Then I cry just a little bit.
And then I remember to calm myself down again.
And then I pray.
And I take the time to stop and think to get my mind straight.
And I find the way.
Because you're never really lost, there's always a way back to your destination.
You're never lost.
Do I ever get lost?
What do I do?
Well, first I look on my phone.
I have a smartphone.
So my phone has GPS.
It's so easy to just tap on the map and find out where I am.
But sometimes I forget my phone or maybe my phone doesn't work.
Then if I'm lost, I ask for help.
I can ask someone for directions.
Then they can help me.
So what will happen with Ken and Susie?
You'll have to come back tomorrow to find out.
Join us then right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
