Welcome back.
Today we're talking about Ken's cold.
He doesn't feel well, but he's still at work.
And that's why Susie said to him, "Why don't you go home?" which is a great
sentence.
Why don't you do something?
That's right.
Ken's throat is sore.
Sometimes your body hurts.
We can say that it feels sore.
Right now let's continue today's lesson with Conversation C.
Hi, Carol. Can I go home?
I feel sick.
Yes. You look sick.
Thanks, Carol.
Do you have a fever?
No. But I have a sore throat.
You probably have a cold.
You can go home.
Thanks, Carol.
I just can't work today.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about work.
Go home and get better!
Well, if you are sick at work, maybe you can do what Ken does.
You can ask your boss if you can go home.
That would be a good thing to do.
Yes. If you're sick, don't stay at the office.
Then you might get your coworker sick.
And if everyone got sick, then no one could work.
But you know, Nathan, at least Ken doesn't have a fever.
Oh, that's right.
Now a fever is when your body is really, really hot.
It's hot from the inside.
Yes. When I have a fever, I feel hot from the inside, but I can't stop shaking.
I'm still cold.
You might get a fever when you have a cold.
If you do, make sure that you stay inside.
You might want to stay in bed.
Yeah. And when I have a cold, I feel really, really bad.
I just can't be at work.
Hey, Katie, that sounds like our Use It sentence.
I think Elizabeth has something to tell us.
(Music).
Hi, friends.
Let's learn how to use the pattern:
I just can't do something today.
For example:
I just can't study today.
Or... I just can't go shopping today.
Now I hope you'll go out and use it!
(Music).
Well, Ken needs to go home.
He can't even work.
I'm glad that Carol is letting him leave.
Yes. That's very nice of her.
Your boss sometimes lets you leave if you are sick.
Sometimes you have days where you just can't do something and you need to go
home.
And if you do, you can just do your things another day.
Maybe you can always finish your work another day.
True. And that's why Carol tells Ken, "Don't worry about work." Hey, that's a
good sentence.
Don't worry about something.
Yes. Do you worry a lot?
Sometimes there are things we don't need to worry about too often.
So don't think too much about those things.
That's right.
And this is also a sentence Christina wants to talk to you about right now.

(Music).
Well, that was some great help from Christina.
Now you all know how to use that phrase.
Right now we're going to review our key words together.

Thanks, Susie.

(Music).
When does the Monkey Man get sick?
What does he do?
You know, it's strange.
When I was young, I used to get sick when the weather was cold.
Now if I get sick, it's usually when the weather is warm.
So what do I do when I get sick?
Well, it's not always easy for me to rest because, as you know, I have a very
active and talkative monkey for a friend.
But if I can, I'll stay in bed and sleep.
When do I get sick?
What do I do?
Well, lots of times I get sick in the winter.
I feel really cold, so I get a cold.

So I stay home and get lots of rest.
I also like to drink hot soup and hot tea.
This makes me feel warmer. Soon, I get better.
When do I get sick?
And what do I do?
I often get sick when I'm not sleeping well.
When I'm really busy and tired and I don't get enough sleep, achoo, sometimes I
catch cold.
And then the best thing to do is to sleep and rest.
And sometimes I might see a doctor.
When do I get sick?
What do I do?
Well, I usually get sick when I'm really tired.
My body is weaker at that time, so it's easier for me to get sick.
And when I'm sick, I like to call my mommy.
I ask her to make food for me so that I can have food to eat.
And then I can just rest at home and get better.
Well, friends, it's never fun to get sick.
But it's important to know how to talk about it.
We're out of time for today.
But see you next time here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
