Welcome back.
Today we're still learning all about the Olympics.
We've learned a lot of great facts today.
And remember, facts are things that are true.
So what are some facts about the Olympics?
You should also remember that this year's Olympics are held in Russia.
That means they are happening in Russia.
They're a very big event.
OK. Now let's watch our last conversation for today.
How many countries have hosted the Olympics?
Twenty-two countries!
It's really international!
This is Russia's first time to host the Winter Olympics.
How many sports are in the Olympics this year?
There are seven sports, and 98 events this year.
I can't wait to see who wins the most medals!
The Winter Olympics are better than the Summer Olympics.
The sports are cooler.
Well, it's winter.
Of course the events are cooler!
(Music).
Well, here's another interesting fact about the Olympics.
Twenty-two countries have hosted the Olympic games.
That means the Olympics have been in 22 different places.
That's an amazing fact.
This really is an event for the whole world.
I guess that's why Mark says it's really International.
Well, you're right about that.
It's international because the whole world is part of the Olympics.
But this is Russia's first time to host the Winter Olympics.
Hey. That's our Use It sentence.
So let's see what Elizabeth has to say about it.
Now we learn about the pattern:
This is someone's first time to do something.
For example: This is Tori's first time to visit France.
Or... This is my first time to cook this dish.
Now, friends, don't forget to use it.
(Music).
Well, thank you, Elizabeth.
Now we find out some more facts about the games.
There are seven different sports this year.
Wow. I wonder which sports people can play in.
I guess we'll find out soon.
Yes. The Winter Olympics starts soon.
And Ken thinks that the Winter Olympics are better than the Summer Olympics.
But that's also a good sentence for you to know.
I think (blank) is better than (blank).
Well, yeah.
I think pizza is better than a hamburger.
Or I think traveling is better than staying home.
And I think saving money is better than spending a lot of money.
Friends, try to say one thing you think is better than another thing at home.
It will really help your English.
That's right. It will help your English.
And right now Christina also wants to talk to you about that sentence:
A is better than B.

Shh! No loud talking in the library.
Hello. My name is Eva.
And I'm a librarian.
I love books.
And I know a lot about them.
I help people find books.
I give them ideas of books to read.
I also help people find information.
Sometimes that information is in books.
Sometimes it is online.
Librarians know where to look for information.
They can be very helpful.
We also keep the library neat and clean.
Not everyone puts books back in the right places.
We put books back on the shelves.
We also make sure the library is quiet.
It has to be a quiet place to read and think.
So turn off your cellphones in the library.
I help choose new books and materials for the library.
That is the fun part of my job.
I am always learning new things, and I enjoy sharing those things with you.
Visit a library today, and choose a good book to read.
I am a librarian, and this is my job.
Shh!
Well, now I'm even more excited.
I can't wait to watch the Winter Olympics.
Which event are you most excited about, Nathan?
Well, I still think that ski jump will be the most exciting to watch.
But really, I think all of the events will be interesting.
We learned a lot of great things about the Olympics today.
Well, that's true.
Remember, the first modern games were held in 1896.
You could tell your friends that.
And twenty-two countries have hosted the Olympic games.
That means this event is really international.
And don't forget, international means something has to do with the whole world.
People can be international travelers if they travel around the world.
Make sure that you review what we learn today.
But right now we have to say goodbye.
See you next time here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
