Welcome back, friends.
Today our lesson is called I Need Something Hot.
And we're talking about hot drinks.
Now sometimes hot can mean hot like fire.
But it can also mean hot like spicy.
You might eat spicy food.
But we're not talking about spicy things today.
We're talking about hot drinks.
Some kinds are very popular, like coffee.
Other kinds maybe you've never heard before, like eggnog or chai.
But right now let's look at our last conversation for today.
Ah! This chai smells great.
Ow! I burned my tongue!
You wanted a hot drink.
I know. But this is too hot!
Wait a minute or two.
Then drink it.
Well, I can warm my hands up on the cup now.
True. Hot drinks are good for that, too!
So hot drinks not only taste good, you can do other things with them, too.
Hmm, like burn your tongue.
I don't want to do that.
That doesn't feel good.
Well, that's not what I meant, Nathan.
No one wants to burn their tongue.
That's why you shouldn't drink hot things too quickly.
Maybe let your drink cool off a little bit.
Well, I guess you're right.
But I don't think that I'm going to try chai again.
I don't want to get burned.
Well, Nathan, you know that any hot drink can burn you.
That's why you should wait a few minutes before you drink it.
No. No, I don't trust chai anymore.
It's a dangerous drink.
Remember that, everyone.
Maybe that's why I like cold drinks more.
Cold drinks cannot hurt you.
I don't know.
It's... it's not always good to drink cold things when you're sick.
Well, I guess you're right about that.
But cold drinks don't make you sick.
Well, OK.
Cold drinks don't make you sick, but they can't warm up your hands, either.
That's what you can use hot drinks for, too.
In cold weather, your hands can feel cold.
And then you can hold a hot drink in your hands and warm them up.
OK. Well, that's true.
Actually, I remember one time I went to a mountain called (Chinese).
We went to the top of the mountain and it was very, very cold.
So we bought hot drinks.
But we wanted to hold them, not drink them.
See? Hot drinks are good for that.
I've done that before, too, in the winter.
I would buy a drink so that I could hold it.
Now let's learn some more from Christina right now.
(Chinese).
(Music).
Thank you so much, Christina.
That is a great sentence pattern to know.
And I think we can all find a way to use it very soon.
But now it's time for a little bit of review.
And I think that key words are very good for that.
Let's get started by reviewing key words.
And here's the first key word.
taste.

This food tastes good!
spice.

I like the spices in this soup.

tongue.

I taste things with my tongue.
wait.

She wants food now.
All right, friends, those are all of the key words for today.
Make sure that you practice them at home because they're some great words for
you to know.
Right now it's time for us to review today's conversations.
Brrr! The weather is really cold today.
I need a hot drink.
I'm having hot chocolate.
It's nice and hot!
Do you want some?
No thanks.
Hot chocolate tastes too sweet.
The Jungle Cafe has good chai today.
It has good eggnog, too.
I like tea with milk and spices.
I'll have a cup of chai.
The Jungle Cafe also has good coffee.
I know.
I drink the coffee here a lot.
I had six cups yesterday!
You drink a lot of coffee.
I know.
So I want something different today.
John, may I have some chai?
The chai can warm you up!
I hope so!
Ah! This chai smells great.
Ow! I burned my tongue!
You wanted a hot drink.

Wait a minute or two.
Then drink it.

(Music).
Ginger, it's... it's really cold today.
Yeah. Brrr!
I think I need a... a hot drink.
Ooh. Here's a hot drink, Monkey Man.
Right here?
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
It smells sweet.
Is this hot chocolate?
Guess again, Monkey Man!
Um, is it chai?
Guess again, Monkey Man!
Uh, oh, is it eggnog?
No, Monkey Man. Guess one more time.
Um, is it tea with milk and spices?
Keep guessing, Monkey Man.
Well, it's... it's not coffee.
No. Do you give up?
Yes, I give up.
What is this?
Try it. It's a special drink just for you!
Uh, what? What is it?
I mixed all the drinks together!
Oh. That really is special.
Yeah.
That... that was very...
(Music).

Look for the answer to this question in Conversation A.

Now question number two.

What is your favorite hot drink?
Now it's time to see what our friends have to say.
What's the Monkey Man's favorite hot drink?
Without a doubt, it's coffee.
I like my coffee black, which means I won't add any sugar, milk or cream.
Of course, there are times when I'll have a cup of tea, hot chocolate or hot
apple cider, but not too often.
What about iced coffee, you ask?
Never!
Even when it's really hot outside, I still like my coffee hot.
What is my favorite hot drink?
It's hard to choose.
I love a hot drink on a cold winter day.
Some days I like hot tea with milk and sugar.
Other days I like hot coffee with milk but no sugar.
But my favorite hot drink on a cold winter day is hot chocolate.
Oh, it is so sweet and so nice.
You should definitely try some.
What's my favorite hot drink?
Well, I love coffee.
I drink so much coffee at work.
My work is very hard and I need to stay awake, so I drink a lot of coffee.
Sometimes I drink five or six... six cups of coffee.
That's a lot of coffee.
I have to be careful.
But it is a great hot drink any day - even in the winter.
What is my favorite hot drink?
My favorite hot drink is hot chocolate. Mmm.
I love hot chocolate.
Do you know why?
Hot chocolate is sweet.
It's creamy and very chocolaty.
I like to have hot chocolate when I'm reading a book or watching a movie or just
hanging out with friends.
Hot chocolate is great for any situation.
Well, friends, this is a great question to ask yourself.
There are a lot of great hot drinks out there.
Right now we need to go.
So we will see you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
