Welcome back.
For our eREPORT today we are learning about bowling.
That's a fun sport you can play with your friends.
And in bowling, you roll a ball down a lane and try to hit white pins.
Mmhm. But when you go to a bowling alley, you have to get a few things before
you can play.
First, you have to get some special shoes.
And then you need to choose your bowling ball.
That's right.
And now we're going to learn even more about bowling in the rest of our eREPORT.
Great job.
When the ball knocks down all ten pins, it is called a strike.
It's the same word in baseball.
But in bowling, a strike is a very good thing.
A player will get more points when he gets a strike.
A full game of bowling is ten rounds.
Bowling is a fun and popular sport that you can play any day.
People love to go bowling because it is easy to learn and a great way to
exercise indoors.
When you throw a bowling ball, you use a lot of muscles in your arms, legs and
back.
(Music).
Well, bowling is a lot of fun.
But I need to take a break because my arm is really sore.
You know, bowling is a great sport to do on your own or with friends.
But of course, I would rather bowl with friends.
It's a lot of fun.
And now I think you should try bowling.
It's a great sport to do indoors.
OK. Well, it looks like I have one more bowl.
So wish me luck.
Good luck.
Thanks.
All right.
This is Gabe for eREPORT going bowling.
(Music).
So you have your special shoes on, and you choose a ball that you want to use -
it's not too heavy and it's not too light.
But right now your friend is bowling, you have to wait.
But when it's your turn, you should...
Get your ball and look at the pins.
Finally!
Katie, you interrupted me.
I interrupted you?
You interrupted me!
It took me three tries to say that.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I... I guess you should have been able to say it earlier.
But you just reminded me of something that we can talk about.
I... I did?
Yes.
You said it took you three tries.
And you get two tries to hit the pins when you bowl.
Oh. I see.
We usually use... use the word "try" as an action like: I tried bowling, but I'm
not very good.
But we can also use it as a thing.
That's right.
You can say, "I hit 8 pins on my first try." And 8 pins is pretty good.
It is.
There are 10 pins, so you only miss 2.
You want to knock all of them down.
Now that sounds a lot like what Christina wants to teach us now.
Why don't we go talk to her?
(Chinese).
You want to do your best to learn English.
So let's use our time well.
What were we talking about earlier, Nathan?
Oh. Uh, well, you said that you want to knock all 10 pins down.
And if you knock them all down at the same time, there's a special word for that
and you get some extra points.
It's called a strike.
Oh, it's always so exciting to get a strike, but it's not easy.
Now if you knock all 10 pins down in two tries, that is not called a strike.
But even though it's hard to get a strike, bowling is still a pretty easy game
to learn.
It still takes some practice, though.
I think the hardest part is taking those steps before rolling the ball.
Oh, that's true.
It is hard to do that.
But friends, don't worry if you can't get a strike every time.
Just keep trying and you will improve.
And it's the same way with your English.
So why don't we practice our key words right now!
Here's the first key word.
bowling.
bowling.
Let's go bowling tonight.
stone.
stone.
Help me move these big stones.
roll.
roll.
The child rolled a ball to his mom.
size.
size.
What size is this T-shirt?
hole.
hole.
Put something in those holes.
knock (something) down.
knock (something) down.
The big dog knocked the child down.
point.
point.
Our team has 57 points.
We won!
Roy, this sure is a nice forest.
Yes, it is, Mack.
It's so peaceful and quiet.
You can only hear the sounds of birds chirping.
Ah, yes.
I just wish we could see more animals here.
Well, you're in luck.
Here comes a horse.
A horse?
That's strange.
What's a horse doing in the forest?
I'm not sure.
But I'm going to pat it.
You know, people and horses should... er... horses... er... oh...
Mack, I need Super Sentence Man.
And Super Sentence Man is never too far away.
You need to say people love to pat horses because they are so friendly.
People love to pat horses because they are so friendly.
Great!
Now the super sentence is:
People love to do something because it is / they are something else.
Now can you use this super sentence in your own way?
Sure.
People love to watch TV because it's so convenient.
People love to watch TV because it's so convenient.
What about you, Mack?
People love to play with dolphins because they are so fun.
People love to play with dolphins because they are so fun.
Those were some super sentences.
Now what super sentence did you need to say, Roy?
I wanted to say people love to pat horses because they are so friendly.
And that is a super sentence.
Remember, a super sentence every day will make your English great.
And do be careful with those forest animals.
Hey, you know, this horse is pretty friendly.
Well, wait, wait a minute.
Huh?
That's not a horse.
It's a bear!
Run! Run!
Well, today's bowling lesson is over.
So now is a great time for you to go to a bowling alley and try it yourself.
What do you think, Nathan?
Well, I think that that's a great idea.
You can practice your bowling and review your English at the same time.
Oh, that is a great idea.
So why not give it a try?
If you've never been bowling, you really need to go.
Yeah, and don't be nervous.
Remember, it's pretty easy to learn and it's very fun to play with some friends.
So what are you waiting for?
Call your friends and try some bowling.
Maybe we'll even see you there.
Maybe.
But if not, we'll see you for some more English fun right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
