You're watching Let's Talk in English.
It's a great day here at LTE TV.
My name is Katie, and we're ready to have a lot of fun with you today.
Our new topic is TRAVEL.
And the title of our lesson is Dreaming About Vacations.
Dreaming About Vacations.
Nathan, where did you go for your last vacation?
Oh, my last vacation.
I went to a place called Taitung, and it's very famous for its beach and its
mountains.
It's a very nice place to visit.
Hello, everyone.
My name is Nathan. I'm glad to be here with you for today's lesson.
So friends, let's get ready for our lesson.
Take out your magazine and find your Read It for today.
You can read it with Nathan right now.
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Susie dreams about going to Africa and seeing all the animals.
Ken wants to go to a beautiful beach.
Rob would go to Italy and see all the famous art museums.
Megan wants to go to Africa or Asia and learn about different peoples and
cultures.
So everyone at LTE TV is thinking about the places they would like to visit the
most.
Wow. I don't know if I can even choose.
I need some time to think about where I want to go.
Well, it's hard to choose.
There are so many new places that you could visit.
But I think I know my answer.
I would love to see Ireland.
It's a beautiful country from all the pictures I've seen.
And my family, from a long time ago, they come from Ireland.
Well, that is a good choice.
Ireland would be a beautiful place to visit.
All right, friends, right now we need to learn today's key words from Christina.
(Chinese).
(Music).
Hi, Susie.
What are you doing?
I'm dreaming.
Dreaming about what?
Taking an exciting vacation.
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
In the summer or in the winter?
In the winter.
I'd go to a beautiful beach and sit in the sun.
What about you?
I'd go to Africa and see all the animals!
Oh. Those both sound like great vacations to me.
Well, it's nice to go to the beach.
But it would be very exciting to go to some place like Africa.
Where would you rather go, though, Katie?
Katie?
Hello! Katie!
What? What... what... what... oh, sorry.
I guess I was daydreaming.
Oh, I see.
You are having dreams during the day.
Well, not really.
I was just thinking about my next vacation.
I was dreaming about it in my head.
I was with some friends, and we were...
Wait, wait, you mean that dreaming just means thinking about something you want
to do?
Well, sometimes dreaming is thinking.
But sometimes dreaming is seeing stories while you're asleep.
But I wasn't asleep.
I was just thinking.
I hope so.
So, do you think you can choose where you would like to go on your next vacation
now?
No. No, I'm still not sure.
But it does sound nice to sit in the sun.
Really?
That sounds too hot to me.
Well, yes.
Some days the sun is too hot.
Um, Katie, the sun is very, very hot every day.
No, no, no, no.
Some days it's very comforta...
Wait, Nathan, sitting in the sun doesn't mean you're actually on the sun.
You're just sitting in the sunshine.
Oh.
Oh. I see.
Well, that would be much better.
Remember this question that we asked today:
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Well, I think Christina wants to help us with that sentence right now.
(Chinese).
Rob, if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Why do you ask?
Susie asked me that question, so I started thinking about it.
Hmmm... I'd like to go a lot of places!
Like where?
I'd like to go to Italy and see all the famous art museums.
That would be fun.
And eat Italian food, too, of course!
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
We keep hearing our Use It sentence today.
But everyone has a different answer.
People like to do different things.
Well, you're right, Nathan.
I'd like to do some things on vacation.
But others would like to do different things.
Would you like to visit art museums on vacation?
Sure. I would like to visit one or two.
I would like to do some other things, too, though.
Would you like to go to Italy, Katie?
Oh. I think Italy would be a great place to go for a vacation.
But Nathan, I have a question.
Why did you ask me if I would like to go "to" Italy?
Sometimes we just say to go somewhere.
Well, that's a very good question.
You usually need to say to go to a place.
Go to your room.
Go to the store.
Go to the city.
But home is the only place you don't go to.
Oh, that's right.
We don't go to home.
We just go home.
But upstairs is a place, right?
We go upstairs.
We don't go to upstairs.
Well, actually upstairs is an adverb.
That means it is not where you are going but how you are going there.
It's like saying "go away" or "go back".
Oh. OK.
Man, sometimes English is hard to understand.
But it's always nice to think about vacations.
That sounds fun.
And that is our Calendar Phrase.
That would be fun!
That would be fun!
(Chinese).
Let's go to the movies.
Yeah. That would be fun!
Let's have a party.
Yeah. That would be fun!
Let's go biking.
Yeah. That would be fun!
Then let's clean the house.
Oh. That would be work!
That would be fun!
That would be fun!
(Chinese).
Well, now let's talk about something else that everyone thinks is fun:
Food!
Well, food is a great reason to choose a place for a vacation.
But we don't have any time to talk about it.
It's time to take a break.
We'll beback.
