Welcome back, everyone.
In today's lesson, one of our friends, Susie, found a lost kitten.
She brought it to LTE TV.
And first she needs to find some food.
That's right.
But today we also learned about a great sentence:
Why did you do something?
Like, why did you do your homework this morning instead of last night?
Try to use that sentence today.
Right now we need to watch Conversation C.
How can we find its owner?
I can put an ad online.
Maybe it doesn't have an owner.
Then I can take it to the animal shelter.
Or do you want it?
It's really soft and cute.
But I can't have a pet in my apartment.
Maybe we can keep it in the office!
Well, ask Carol!
Susie and Megan are still trying to decide what to do with the kitten.
That's a very hard decision.
It is.
But they need to find its owner.
So Susie can put an ad online.
If they do that, then maybe the owner will see it.
Ads are very useful.
Well, that's true.
And an ad for a lost pet will talk about the animal and what it looks like.
That way, the owner of the pet can know where it is.
Then the owner can get the pet back.
That would be great.
But if Susie can't find the owner, she can take the kitten to an animal shelter.
That's a good idea, too.
Yes, it is.
An animal shelter is a place that keeps a lot of lost animals.
If you find a kitten or a dog, you can take it to the animal shelter.
Yes, the animal shelter is usually a good place for pets.
And if you want a new pet, you can go there and get a pet from there.
It's nice to get an animal from an animal shelter.
You can save a lost cat or dog.
That's a great point.
So, have you ever gotten a pet from an animal shelter, Katie?
Well, yes. My family got a dog from an animal shelter when I was a little kid.
Oh, he was a great dog.
Aww, that was sweet of your family.
So, maybe Susie will take the kitten to the shelter.
But she also asks Megan, "Do you want it?" And that is our Calendar Phrase.
Do you want it?
Do you want it?
(Chinese).
Look at this hat.
Do you want it?
Yes. I want it.
It's a very nice hat.
Do you want it?
Yes. I want it.
It's a very useful hat.
Do you want it?
Yes. I want it.
Where did you get it?
I got it from the trash.
Oh. I don't want it.
Do you want it?
Do you want it?
(Chinese).
Well, that's a good phrase.
So, Nathan, what would you do?
Do you want the kitten?
Well, since I live by myself and I like dogs more than cats, I don't think I
would take the kitten.
Sorry!
But like Megan says, I can't have a pet in my apartment, either.
Oh, that's true. I can't have a pet in my apartment.
Apartments are too small for pets.
Yep. Pets need more room.
But Megan has another idea.
Maybe they can keep the pet at the office.
Well, that could be a good idea.
We used to have a cat at our office.
Do you remember that?
Of course. It was nice to have a pet at the office.
That is nice, and cats are good pets.
So hopefully Megan and Susie can keep this pet up there.
Of course!
It was nice to have a pet at the office.
Well, some of you might still want to know more about animal shelters, and
Christina can help you with that.
(Chinese).
Now you all know about animal shelters.
And right now it's time for us to review our key words.
So say them with us.
The first key word is...

My cat has seven kittens.

Ellen's coat is soft.

Did you remember all of today's key words?
Keep practicing them, everyone.
Right now let's review today's conversations.
Hi, Susie.
What do you have there?
It's a kitten.
A kitten?
Why did you bring a kitten to the station?
I found it outside the station.
It's so little.
And it's cold.
Does it have an owner?
Does it have a home?
I don't know.
But this kitten is lost. And it's hungry!
Can we feed it something?
Do you have any milk?
No. But we can get some from the Jungle Cafe.
Can you go and get some?
I can find a box for it.
It can stay by my desk.
It may not stay in the box.
It may run around.
I hope not!
How can we find its owner?
I can put an ad online.
Maybe it doesn't have an owner.
Then I can take it to the animal shelter.
Or do you want it?
It's really soft and cute.
But I can't have a pet in my apartment.
Maybe we can keep it in the office!
Well, ask Carol!
(Music).
Hey, Ginger, what's in the box?
Ooh, ooh. It's something I found.
Ooh, where did you find it?
Outside the Jungle Cafe. Can I keep it, Monkey Man?
Well, I don't know. What is it?
Oh, oh, it's soft and really cute.
Oh, I know. Is it a...
It's lost and it needs a home.
I know. It's got to be...
Can I keep it? Please, can I?
Well, is it a pet?
Yeah. Can I keep it, Monkey Man?
OK, Ginger. You can have a kitten.
A kitten?
It's not a kitten, Monkey Man.
It's a little monkey!
A little monkey?
And it's cute like me!
Oh, my!
(Music).
Today is Monday, so we get to Answer It.
Let's look at question one.
Where can Susie take the kitten?
Where can Susie take the kitten?
Well, you can find the answer in Conversation C.
She can take it to the animal shelter.
Here is question two.
Do you like kittens?
Why or why not?
Do you like kittens?
Why or why not?
Let's hear some answers from our friends.
Do I like kittens?
Of course I do.
They are so cute and fluffy and playful.
I love to watch them play.
And my little dog loves to play with them.
But I have to admit something.
I'm a little afraid of holding them close to me because they'll scratch me when
they're afraid.
But I really do love to watch little cute kittens.
Meow.
Do I like kittens?
Well, I like to look at pictures and videos of kittens.
I think kittens are really, really cute.
But I don't like to be around kittens.
Because whenever I'm around a kitten or a cat, my eyes start to water and itch,
and then my nose starts to run and then...
Achoo! I sneeze a lot! Achoo! Is there a cat around here? Achoo! Achoo!
Do I like kittens?
I love kittens.
They are so cute and so cuddly.
When I was young, my cat had many kittens.
And I got to hold them and feed them and hug them.
So I think having kittens is cute.
It is a great experience for everybody.
So if you see a kitten, you can play with it and have lots of fun.
Do I like kittens?
No! Kittens? Ugh!
With their little ears and their little eyes, kittens are so cute.
Everyone loves kittens.
Well, I don't like kittens.
They're just little cats.
They're baby cats.
Kittens. Are they cute?
OK, they are cute.
I like kittens.
I love to hold them.
They're so small.
Oh, kittens are so cute.
Yes, I like kittens.
Well, that's the end of our lesson today, but that's not the end of the story.
We hope that you come back and see us tomorrow for the rest of the story right
here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
