This is Let's Talk in English.
It's a great day here at LTE TV.
My name is Katie, and we're glad that you joined us for our lesson today.
Our topic is still HOME.
And we have part two of our lesson: Something Smells!
Something Smells!
Nathan, how can you stop a bad smell?
Oh. Well, the best thing to do is find what smells and throw it away.
But sometimes if you can't, there are some smells you can put in the air that
smell better.
Hi, everyone, my name is Nathan.
It's great to learn some English together with you today.
Well, we need to start our lesson.
So find your magazine and turn to today's Read It.
You can read it with Nathan now.
The bad smell is coming from the refrigerator.
Mark's old lunch is on the bottom shelf.
It stinks!
Rob finds Mark.
Mark just finished his lunch.
Rob shows him his old lunch.
Mark is sorry.
He forgot about that lunch.
Later there is another smell in the kitchen.
The refrigerator doesn't smell.
And the sink is empty.
What is the smell this time?
Well, yesterday we didn't find out what smelled so bad in the kitchen.
But it sounds like we'll find out what smelled today.
Yes. I think this will be a fun lesson.
Yesterday, they checked the trash, the sink and they started to look in the
refrigerator.
And that's where they find the smell, but what is it coming from?
I think we'll find out later.
But right now let's learn our key words for today with Christina.
Hello.
(Chinese).
Check the oven, Rob.
Did someone leave food in it?
No. The oven is fine.
And the stove looks clean.
Good.
Then the smell must be coming from the refrigerator.
Let's take things out and smell them.
OK.
This doesn't smell.
This doesn't smell.
This doesn't smell, either.
But this does!
It stinks!
Is someone's name on it?
Yes. Mark Tsai!
(Music).
It was Mark's lunch!
The smell was coming from Mark's lunch.
They will have to talk to Mark about this.
I'm sure they will.
And Katie, let's talk about the phrase: coming from.
We often say that the smell comes from whatever smells bad.
That's right.
So if we smell something, we can say, "Where is that smell coming from?".
Or we can do the same thing about sounds.
Do you hear that?
Where is that sound coming from?
I... I don't hear anything, Nathan.
Well, Katie, I was just giving an example.
OK.
I think Nathan is hearing things.
Anyway, before they found Mark's lunch, Rob checked the oven.
You can bake things in an oven.
But someone could forget that they put food in the oven and then the food might
start to smell.
But the oven is fine.
If something is fine, it's OK.
It has no problems.
How are you, Nathan?
Um... I'm fine.
Well, see? Nathan has no problems... except that he hears things.
Hey, I don't hear...
I'm fine.
And so is the stove.
The smell is not coming from the stove, either.
No. It's Mark's lunch that stinks.
So let's see what Mark has to say in Conversation B.
Hi, Mark.
Are you eating lunch?
No. I just finished.
Is that your lunch?
It doesn't smell very good.
I know.
It smells really bad.
And it's actually your lunch.
My lunch?
Yes. Carol and I found it on the bottom shelf in the refrigerator.
Let me see that.
Oh! I brought this lunch three weeks ago.
I forgot about it.
Well, don't forget next time!
(Music).
Well, I hope Mark doesn't forget again.
I don't want there to be more bad smells in the kitchen. Ugh!
Well, Rob found Mark at the perfect time.
He just finished his lunch.
Now maybe you think we should say that he finished eating his lunch.
And that would be very clear.
But if we say that someone finished their meal or any food, we mean that they
have stopped eating.
So Mark is not eating his lunch anymore.
So it's a great time to ask him about his old lunch.
But he asks Rob about it first.
"Is that your lunch?" he says.
Hey, that would be a great...
Calendar Phrase.
Is that your lunch?
Is that your lunch?
(Chinese).
I'm eating a sandwich.
Is that your lunch?
I'm eating an apple.
Is that your lunch?
I'm eating potato chips.
Is that your lunch?
No. This is your lunch.
Hey!
Is that your lunch?
Is that your lunch?
(Chinese).
Well, you might ask that question if you think someone's lunch looks good.
But no one wants Mark's old lunch.
It doesn't smell very good.
Doesn't smell very good?
It smells really bad!
You now, if I was eating in the Jungle Cafe and someone brought that old lunch
in, I would not be happy.
You're right.
I wouldn't want to smell it, either!
That's right.
But Mark needs to know that he left it on the bottom shelf in the refrigerator.
And I think that that sounds like our Use It sentence.
Why don't we learn about it right now!
(Music).
Welcome to Use It.
Today we're looking at the pattern:
I found it on the (something) in the (something).
Let's see an example.
I found it on the bed in the bedroom.
Or try this:
I found it on the desk in the classroom.
That's all for today.
So don't forget to use it.
(Music).
Thanks, Elizabeth.
That was very helpful.
And now I think we are going to get some more help from Christina.
(Chinese).
We've learned a lot today already.
So why don't we take a break?
We'll be rightback.
