You're watching a Saturday review show here at Let's Talk in English.
My name is Katie and it's great to have you here.
Yes, we are glad that you joined us.
My name is Nathan.
It's going to be a great show today.
Well, I think so, too, because this was a great week.
Do you remember what happened?
Hmm. Well, I know there was a police officer at the Jungle Cafe.
What was he looking for?
And we learned about photography.
Who knows how to take the perfect picture?
There's a lot to learn, so let's review these lessons now.
(Music).
Hey, Carol.
Why is a police officer here?
I don't know.
Is he looking for someone?
I can ask.
Excuse me, officer?
Can we help you?
Yes. I'm looking for a man.
He took some money from a bank near here.
Oh, no! When?
This morning.
Many people are looking for him.
Is he dangerous?
Yes, he's very dangerous.
He has a knife.
Well, what does he look like?
He is thin and he has black hair.
He is wearing a blue shirt.
Are you talking about John?
That man over there?
Yes, that looks like him.
Freeze!
Put your hands over your head!
Well, that was exciting!
That was scary!
Is John OK?
Yes.
The police officer let him go.
He didn't rob a bank!
Of course not!
The police officer caught the wrong person.
They did.
John was at the cafe all morning!
The police will catch the robber soon.
I'm sure!
I hope so.
I don't feel very safe now!
(Music).
Hello, everyone, welcome to Let's Talk.
We have a very special guest on our show today.
He helps to keep our neighborhoods safe.
Please help me welcome Police Officer Peter!
Welcome Police Officer Peter!
Officer Peter, you have a very important job!
I do.
I love my job, Rob.
Because you can arrest bad guys?
Well, yes.
But I also get to serve the community!
How do you serve the community?
I help keep neighborhoods safe.
A peaceful neighborhood is a happy neighborhood!
How do you keep neighborhoods safe?
I drive around the neighborhoods.
I talk to people and learn about their lives.
I have a lot of friends in the community!
Is that important?
Very!
Everyone works together to keep the community safe.
I can't work alone!
I feel safer when I see a policeman drive by.
Right.
Robbers and other criminals see me, too.
Then they don't do bad things!
What is your favorite part of your job?
I like helping people!
I feel good when I can help someone.
Do you like to give people tickets?
No.
But sometimes I have to.
People shouldn't break the law.
You're right.
Laws keep us safe.
Yes.
Laws protect everyone.
Thanks for coming today.
The police are our friends.
Yes, we are!
Hi, Ken.
Is that a new camera?
Hi, Susie.
Yes, it is.
I bought it last week.
It's nice!
So you know a lot about cameras.
Maybe you can help me.
Sure.
What do you need help with?
I need to shoot some pictures for a report.
Do you need help with that?
No.
I need a new camera!
Don't you have a camera?
Yes, but it's broken!
Oh, OK.
Do you want a big camera?
No, I want a small camera.
I need one with a flash.
All cameras have a flash.
A flash is very useful.
I know.
If you take a picture indoors, you will need a flash.
Right.
I don't want dark pictures!
No, you don't.
What about the lens?
What kind do I need?
It doesn't really matter.
But...
You can't change the lens on a small camera.
It comes with a lens.
Oh, that's right.
Thanks, Ken!
You're welcome!
Um... can I take a picture of you?
Sure.
But be sure to get my good side.
Taking a good photo is not easy.
It can be harder than it looks.
There are many different ways to take pictures.
Here are some tips to help you take good pictures.
Use a tripod.
It keeps the camera from shaking.
Then your pictures won't be blurry.
Use a zoom.
It makes an object look bigger.
That makes a better picture.
Most cameras have zoom lenses.
Cellphone cameras have a digital zoom.
Focus your lens until the picture is clear.
Hi, Ken.
You always take such great pictures.
Thank you, Rob.
Can you give me some tips?
Sure.
Light is important.
You can't take a good picture without good light.
So too little light is bad?
Not always.
But that's usually true.
Sometimes when I take pictures, they look blurry.
How do I fix that?
A tripod helps.
It keeps the camera from shaking.
What about when I use the camera on my cellphone?
You can use the zoom.
Cellphones have digital zoom.
It can make an object look bigger.
So I should use my zoom and focus my lens on an object.
Right.
The picture should be clear.
Then take the picture.
Right.
Thanks for your help, Ken!
(Music).
You look upset.
Are you OK, Rob?
No, I'm not OK.
I'm really mad.
Why are you mad?
I am hosting a guest.
He is my sister's friend.
But he doesn't have any manners!
What do you mean?
What does he do?
He wears his dirty boots in the house!
That's very rude.
Does he do anything else?
Yes!
He takes food out of the refrigerator.
Then he eats it.
He doesn't ask first!
That's not nice.
He leaves his things around my house.
His clothes are on the couch.
His bags are on the floor.
So he is very messy.
Yes.
He is not a considerate guest.
He doesn't appreciate your kindness.
He doesn't respect my house rules!
Can you talk to him about your rules again?
I did.
He said, "Sorry, I forgot!".
He is not a good guest.
When does he leave?
On Monday.
That's good.
Yes.
I will be very thankful!
(Music).
OK.
Well, now it's time for us to review what we learned.
Nathan, here's the first question.
OK, Katie, I'm ready to hear it.
I'm sure I can answer it.
All right, here's the question.
Why is the police officer in the Jungle Cafe?
Oh, good question.
And I know the answer.
The police officer is looking for someone.
Well, that's right.
He's trying to catch a robber.
Who does he think is the robber?
Oh, well, he thinks John is the robber.
But that's silly.
John isn't a robber.
Well, you're right about that, Nathan.
John definitely isn't the robber.
OK, I have a question for you, Katie.
How does a tripod help you take good pictures?
Hey! Good question.
And here's the answer.
A tripod keeps the camera from shaking.
Oh, you're right.
So a tripod is important if you want to take a good picture that is not blurry.
That's right.
And you should also try to focus your lens.
That will also help your picture not be blurry.
And that's another good tip we learned today.
OK, friends, now we're going to take a short break.
We'll be rightback.
