Welcome back, everyone.
We have much more to learn today.
Susie broke her camera.
That makes me think of today's Use It sentence.
If you do something you will do something else.
If you break your camera you will need to fix it.
And today we learned that Ken knows a lot about cameras.
What do you know a lot about?
You can say:
I know a lot about (blank).
OK, friends.
Now we need to go to Conversation C and learn some more there.
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.
Well, Susie is learning a lot about cameras today.
She's lucky Ken knows so much about cameras.
Mmhm. And Susie wants to know what kind of lens she needs.
What does Ken say, Katie?
Well, he says, "It doesn't really matter." Now that's a great sentence.
If something doesn't really matter, it's not the most important thing.
Right.
A new lens doesn't really matter because Susie can't change the lens on a small
camera.
So a new lens is not very important.
Now, Nathan, do you have a camera?
Does it come with a lens?
Well, I have a video camera.
And all cameras come with a lens.
But you can buy others to use, too.
Now Ken asks a great question, also.
He asks, "Can I take a picture of you?".
Oh, I think that this is a very polite question.
You should always ask someone before you take a picture of that person or with
that person.
You're right.
That's a very important thing to ask.
It's very rude to take a picture of someone if they do not want to have their
picture taken.
One time I met someone who was important, so I had to ask that person if I could
take a picture with him before I took the picture.
I see.
But sometimes people don't want to have their picture taken.
If they're having a bad day, they might not like it.
Now, Nathan, have you ever asked someone if you can take their picture before?
Hmm. Someone like a famous, important person?
I don't know if I have met any, and I don't take that many pictures.
Katie, do you like to have your picture taken?
Oh, Nathan, that's a good question.
I sometimes like to have my picture taken, but not all the time.
It's OK, though.
I usually don't mind it.
OK, friends.
Now it's time to learn about a sentence.
Be sure to get my good side with Christina.
(Chinese).
OK, now it's time for us to review our key words together.
Please say them with us.
Our first key word is:
shoot.
shoot.
I shot three pictures of my grandfather.
flash.
flash.
The flash is too bright.
lens.
lens.
This camera lens is really expensive.
take (a picture).
take (a picture).
Can you take my picture?
dark.
dark.
The room is too dark. Turn on the light.
Those are all of today's key words for our review.
Now we want to continue our review by watching all of today's conversations
together one more time.
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.
(Music).
Hello, Ginger. Look what I have!
Oh, ha, ha.
What do you have, Monkey Man?
This is my new camera.
Ooh, that's nice.
But look what I have.
What do you have?
This is my new camera.
Ooh, that's nice.
But look, my camera has a flash.
All cameras have a flash!
Well, my camera has a lens.
All cameras have a lens!
Well, my camera shoots great pictures.
Well, my camera shoots great photos, too.
Oh, yeah? Well, my camera is bigger.
My camera is smaller.
My camera is better!
No, my camera is better!
No, mine!
Mine!
Mine...
(Music).
And that's our show for today.
I think that this was a great lesson.
Ken knew so much about cameras.
Yes. I feel like I could go out and buy a new camera today.
What about you?
Yes.
Are you thinking about buying a new camera?
Maybe today's lesson helped you with that.
You have to think about many things when you buy a new camera.
Do you want a small or a big camera?
Well, do you want to buy a new lens for your camera?
And don't forget to ask someone before you take a picture of that person.
That's polite.
It's important to ask them that question.
That's right. It's a very important question.
Well, friends, we're out of time for right now.
But make sure that you join us again tomorrow for the next lesson.
There's a lot more to learn about taking the perfect picture.
So we will see you then right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
