Hello, everyone.
This is the LTE TV studio.
It's great to see you here today.
My name is Nathan.
I'm one of your teachers here on the show.
Today we want to continue our HEALTH topic.
And our lesson is still called Ken's Cold.
Ken's Cold.
So, what do you do when you have a cold, Katie?
Well, when I have a cold, I try to stay at home and I try to rest a lot.
And I also try to drink a lot of hot tea.
That always makes me feel better.
Hi, everyone, my name is Katie.
And it's great that you joined us today for our lesson.
OK, it's time to practice our reading with Read It.
Read it with Katie right now.
Susie is going to take some things to Ken.
Poor Ken is ill.
He has a cough and a cold, so he is at home.
What does Ken need?
He doesn't need medicine.
He has some from the drugstore.
But Ken needs tissues.
Some vitamin C is also good.
But most of all, Ken needs rest.
Ken's still not feeling well.
That's too bad.
But people at the station are taking care of him.
Yes, they're taking him some things.
And I think that those things will probably help him feel a lot better.
Mmhm. If you have a friend who is sick, it's nice to take them things to help
them feel better.
That's being a good friend.
Yes. That's a nice thing to do.
When you're sick, sometimes you need things.
You might need juice or something healthy to eat.
We'll find out more about what Ken needs.
Right now, why don't we learn our key words with our word lady, Christina.
Hello.
(Chinese).
Ken, how are you feeling?
A little better.
But now I have a cough.
Are you taking any medicine?
Yes, I bought some at the drugstore.
Good. Be sure to rest, too!
I will.
Can you do something for me?
Sure! What?
There are some important papers on my desk.
Can you bring them to me?
Conversation A starts with a great question to ask a friend who is sick.
How are you feeling?
Oh, this is a great question.
If I see a friend who has been sick lately, I might ask that person: How are you
feeling?
Or if your friend has been in the hospital recently, ask: How are you feeling?
It's nice to show people that you care.
Well, Ken's feeling a little better.
That's good.
He bought some medicine at the drugstore.
What all can you buy at a drugstore, Nathan?
Hmm, well, you can buy medicine.
Medicine makes you better when you're sick.
And you can sometimes buy things for your body, like vitamins.
Well, that's true.
Drugstores usually have things that will help you if you have something wrong
with your body.
But even though Ken's feeling better, he's still not well.
Now he has a cough.
Yeah, you can have a cough when you have a cold.
And did you know that the word cough can be a noun and a verb?
Yeah, that's true.
You can say you have a cough.
Or you can say you are coughing.
Try to use it both ways.
Well, later Susie says to Ken, "Be sure to rest." Now that is a good sentence.
Be sure to do something.
Be sure to do your homework.
Be sure to spend time with your friends.
And be sure to practice your English with us.
Well, that's great, Nathan.
Now Ken says, "Can you do something for me?" He is asking Susie to do him a
favor.
That's right.
Since Ken isn't at the office, he might need her help with some work.
That's right.
Well, right now Christina wants to help us out with the sentence: Be sure to do
something.
(Chinese).
What are you doing, Susie?
I'm getting some papers for Ken.
I'll take them to his apartment later.
Isn't he sick?
Yes. But he wants to do some work at home.
He should get some rest.
I know.
Ken is ill.
He should be sleeping, not working!
Does Ken need anything else?
He might!
(Music).
Well, friends, Susie is getting ready to take some papers to Ken.
That's really nice of her.
She's going to take them all the way to his apartment.
Well, have you ever taken things to someone from work, Katie?
Well, not from work.
But when I was younger, I would take homework to friends who were sick and miss
school.
Oh. Well, that's a good point.
Sometimes you might be sick and stay home from school.
And then what do you miss, Katie?
Well, if you stay home from school, you miss homework and you miss your class.
And then you have to do a lot of homework later.
So maybe your friend can help you and do you a favor.
Maybe a friend can bring you your homework.
Well, that's a good idea.
And then you can do your homework at home, and then it won't be late.
Well, Ken wants to finish some work at home.
But maybe that's not the best idea, Katie.
Well, why not, Nathan?
I think it's OK.
Well, if you're sick, you need to rest.
You should sleep a lot!
You should lay on your bed.
If you need to rest, can you work out?
No, Katie.
You need to stay still.
You should let your body feel better.
It may not be the best idea to do a lot of exercise.
Well, that's true.
So I guess working would not be the best idea.
Ken should take a nap.
He could sleep some more.
Yes, he should.
And here's another question you can ask someone.
Do you need anything else?
Oh, you can ask this to make sure you know everything that someone needs.
Right.
If you're bringing something to someone, you want to have everything for that
person.
That's right.
Well, right now Christina wants to talk to you all again about the difference
between the words sick and ill.
(Chinese).
Thanks for your help, Christina.
Now it's time to take a break.
We'll see you in just a few minutes.
(Music).
