Well, we started this month by talking about the New Year that comes on January
1st.
But this week we learned about Chinese New Year.
This Chinese New Year's Day was on January 31st.
And you do some special things on Chinese New Year.
Families get together and celebrate.
And you eat a lot of special food.
We also talked about how people are born in certain years.
I was born in the Year of the Snake.
And I was born in the Year of the Dragon.
There are twelve different animals that have to do with Chinese New Year.
That's true.
This year will be the Year of the Horse.
I hope it will be a good year.
Well, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
But I bet it will be good.
OK, everyone.
Let's watch this week's features right now.
(Music).
Hello, and welcome to Let's Play.
And welcome to this week's game.
Let's find out who our players are.
I'm Trisha.
My name is Roger.
And I'm Gary Goodfellow.
And we're always glad you're here to play, too.
Today's game is called Yes or No.
I will think of a key word from today or yesterday, and you have to guess it.
Yes?
Why is it called Yes or No?
Ah, good question.
Because you can ask me questions about the key word.
But I will only answer "yes" or "no." Are you ready to play?
Yes. Let's Play!
All right.
You get the first question, Gary Goodfellow.
Hmm... let's see...
Is this key word something that you do?
Great question!
No.
Do you have another guess?
Hair.
Ha, ha.
Hair was a key word.
Is that it?
No, it's not.
Your turn, Roger.
Is this key word something that is alive?
Something that is alive? Yes.
What's your guess?
Hah! Pet!
That was a key word, too.
Uh, no.
But you're right.
I'm wrong, but I'm right, too?
Uh...
Well, I mean that is not the answer, but yes, pet is a key word.
Trisha?
Does this key word go "meow"?
Yes, yes, yes!
I know.
It's cat.
Oh... no.
You see, that's not a key word.
All right.
Back to you, Gary Goodfellow.
Well, let's see.
This is a key word that is alive and goes "meow." But it's not cat?
What is it?
I'm sorry, but I can't answer that kind of question.
I can only say "yes" or "no." Do you have a guess?
Oh. But that wasn't my question.
Can I ask... uh, oh, oh... hey, cat!
It isn't the cat, but what about kitten?
Yes.
You're right, Gary Goodfellow!
And you are today's winner!
Thanks for playing with us, everyone.
Now let's play again next week right here on...
Let's Play!
Goodbye.
(Music).
(Background Noise).
Hey, Larry.
Table five.
Two cheese burgers with salads.
No pickles, OK?
Oh. Hello, my name is Lydia, and I am a waitress.
I work at a restaurant.
And it can be very busy here at lunchtime.
People need to eat, so they often come to a restaurant.
When customers come in and sit down, I give them a menu, like this one.
Then they tell me what they want to eat.
I usually write it down on a notepad.
Sometimes a waitress will remember the order and tell the cooks.
A good waitress will always be ready to serve the customers.
Sometimes I pour water or tea in their cups.
A waitress should also be very friendly.
In America, customers need to give a tip to the waiter or waitress.
If they really liked the food and service, they will give a nice, big tip.
Ha, ha.
I like being a waitress.
I am a waitress.
And this is my job.
Table A, steak and eggs!
Uh, Rachel, are you busy?
Uh... Yes, Mr. Smith.
I'm doing all the things you asked me to do.
Well, I need someone to look through this big pile of papers on my desk.
Well, I'm writing emails, making phone calls, helping you plan your big meetings
next week...
You are doing a lot.
It's not a good thing that... uh... there isn't...
Oh... I need Super Sentence Man.
And Super Sentence Man is here.
Today's super sentence is...
Too bad there isn't something.
You want to say:
Too bad there isn't anyone to look through my papers.
Ah!
Too bad there isn't anyone to look through my papers.
Great.
Now before I go, can you give me this super sentence in another way?
Hmm... Too bad there isn't any good news on TV today.
Too bad there isn't any good news on TV today.
Excellent.
What about you, Rachel?
Can you give me a super sentence?
Too bad there isn't a day off tomorrow.
Too bad there isn't a day off tomorrow.
A super sentence!
Remember, a super sentence every day will make your English great.
Now, as I was saying, Rachel, it's too bad there isn't anyone to look through my
papers.
Mr. Smith, would you like me to look through your papers?
Oh, would you do that for me?
That would be wonderful.
Thank you, Rachel.
Oh, here you go.
No problem, Mr. Smith.
Well, now we finished the whole month.
All of our January lessons are finished.
I think it was a great start to a new year.
There are so many things to learn.
And since yesterday was Chinese New Year, we hope that you had a happy Chinese
New Year.
Yes, I hope you were able to spend some time with your families.
That's a really special thing to do.
Well, now it's almost time for us to go.
Make sure that you practice your English at home.
Yes, and practice with a friend.
That will help you, too.
We'll have the new lessons for you on Monday.
And new lessons means that there will be a lot more things to learn.
So make sure that you join us then.
We'll see you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
