Well, today we're learning about part two of our lesson: A Lost Kitten.
There's a kitten at the station.
So what do you think, friends?
Do you think having a kitten would be convenient at your office?
That's a good question.
And this kitten is probably a stray.
Cats usually live in people's houses.
But this one lives outside.
Let's see what else happens in Conversation C.
All right. It can stay here.
Does it make much noise?
No, it's pretty quiet.
It sleeps a lot. But...
But what?
It likes to sleep in your lap.
My lap?
I don't want cat hair on my clothes!
Don't worry.
It can sleep in the box.
Good.
If I hold it, I may want to keep it!
Well, that is a relief.
Carol will let the kitten stay at the office for at least a day.
But she doesn't want the kitten to make much noise.
Noise? How can a kitten make noise? It's this big!
Oh, Nathan, kittens meow.
Sometimes they're really loud.
Oh. Yeah, that... that's right.
Kittens can get noisy sometimes.
But this kitten sleeps a lot, Susie says.
Oh, but she says it likes to sleep in people's laps.
That's cute.
Well, if an animal sleeps on your lap, that means it sleeps on your legs when
you're sitting down.
And I really like it when cats sleep on my lap.
I think it's relaxing.
Do you like to have cats sleep on your lap, Nathan?
Oh, I guess.
But if a cat or dog sleeps on your lap, they leave hair all over your clothes.
Oh, that's true.
Animals shed or they leave hair and fur all over the place.
So that can be inconvenient.
Especially if you're at work.
I'm with Carol.
I agree with her.
I don't know if I want cat hair all over my clothes.
I guess you're right, Nathan.
Oh, that's too bad.
I wish Susie could keep the kitten at the station.
Well, you never know what could happen.
Carol even says:
If I hold it, I may want to keep it.
Well, hey, Nathan, you just used today's Use It sentence.
Let's see what Elizabeth has to say about this sentence.
(Music).
Today we are going to learn how to use the pattern:
If I do something, I may want to do something else.
Let's see some examples.
If I get a new job, I may want to move.
And...
If I buy a new couch, I may want to buy a new chair, too.
So, friends, remember to use it!
(Music).
Well, thank you, Elizabeth.
That's a great sentence.
All right, everyone, you should try to use it today.
And right now we should probably review... review today's key words.
Say them with us.
The first key word is...
belong.
belong.
This coat isn't mine. It belongs to Ali.
sign.
sign.
Did you read the sign on the door?
noise.
noise.
Can you hear that noise?
hold.
hold.
Please hold my violin.
Don't drop it.
hair.
hair.
Janet has dog hair on her clothes.
Did you remember all of today's words?
We hope that you can remember them and continue to practice them.
All right, let's continue our review by watching today's conversations again.
Hi, Carol.
Will you be in your office this afternoon?
Yes. I have lots of work to do.
Why?
Can you keep something for me?
I have to go out now.
Keep what?
This.
Do you want to hold it?
A kitten!
Why do you have a kitten in the office?
I found it outside this morning.
Does it belong to anyone?
Or is it a stray?
I'm trying to find out.
I put an ad online.
You should make some signs, too.
I will.
We can't take care of a kitten at the station.
I know.
You should take it to the animal shelter.
I will take it there after work.
But can you keep it for now?
All right.
It can stay here.
Does it make much noise?
No, it's pretty quiet.
It sleeps a lot.
But...
But what?
It likes to sleep in your lap.
My lap?
I don't want cat hair on my clothes.
Don't worry.
It can sleep in the box.
Good.
If I hold it, I may want to keep it.
(Music).
Monkey Man, this little monkey will make a nice pet.
Ginger, I think this little monkey belongs to someone.
Yeah. He belongs to me.
No. I think it belongs to someone else.
Oh. Well, how can we find the owner?
We can put an ad online.
Yes. Or we can...
We can make some signs.
Or we can...
We can ask the police.
No! We can ask the little monkey.
What? How?
Like this.
Little monkey...
(Background Noise).
See?
He makes noise.
Oh, he makes noise.
What did he say?
He said he belongs to the zoo.
Oh, well, there you go.
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 we'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.
Let's see.
Is this key word something that you do?
Great question.
No.
Do you have another guess?
Hair.
Haha.
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.
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!
Ooh. 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 a 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.
Well, that's all the time we have for today.
Nathan, I think that I'm like Carol.
If I hold the kitten, I have to keep it.
Well, we'd better not let you around kittens, Katie.
And don't go to an animal shelter.
You might take one home.
Yeah, that's true.
I would definitely take a kitten home.
But at least Susie will figure out what to do with this kitten.
Yes. It's great that Carol and Megan are helping her.
Finding an animal is a lot of hard work.
Yes, we learned all about that today.
But now you know what you can do if you find an animal.
You can take it to an animal shelter.
Or you can put an ad online or put signs up in your neighborhood.
Well, those are all great ideas, so maybe you can try something today.
Now we're all out of time, but join us for another show.
We will see you here tomorrow right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
(Music).
