Welcome back, friends.
Right now it's time for us to play a game together to see if you know your key
words.
And today's game is called Two...
... in One.
That's right.
I will say one sentence that has two key words in it.
So you need to tell me which key words I use.
Are you ready?
Here we go.
OK, here's my sentence.
I can see the highway from that window.
I can see the highway from that window.
Well, we're talking about travel today.
And highway is a great travel word.
That's one of our key words.
And we also said Mark could look out the window on the bus.
Highway and window are the key words.
Nathan, you are right. Good job!
OK, friends, now let's review today's conversations.
(Music).
Hi, Mark. What are you doing?
I'm looking at bus schedules and prices.
Are you going somewhere?
I want to go home for Christmas.
Great! How much is the bus fare to Texas?
I can get a round-trip ticket for $139.
That's not bad.
But the travel time is over 24 hours from here to Texas.
Ooh. That's a long time on a bus!
Well... long bus trips can be fun.
Sure. You don't have to drive.
So you can just look out the window at the scenery.
Right! Or I can talk to other passengers.
Of course!
Or you can just relax and read a book.
Yes. Or I can use the Internet!
Really? Do you have to pay for it?
No! It's free!
Can you send me an email on the highway?
Maybe.
This website says, "All new buses have free Internet.".
That's cool.
The new buses also have bigger seats with more space.
Nice! Will you get a new bus?
I hope so!
Are you going to buy a ticket?
Yes! How will I get to the bus station?
Take a bus!
(Background Noise).
Hi, Ginger. What are you doing today?
I'm looking at the bus schedule.
Ooh. Are you going somewhere?
Yes. I'm going on a long bus trip.
A long bus trip.
Yeah. Long bus trips can be fun!
That's true.
You can look out the window at the beautiful scenery.
Yeah. And laugh at the other passengers.
Or you can relax and read a book.
You can use the Internet, too!
And it's free!
Oh. That is cool!
And new buses have big seats.
Nice! So, Ginger, where do you want to go?
Anywhere.
Oh.
Hello.
(Chinese).
There are many ways to travel around our country.
Some people take the train.
Other people drive a car.
Others like to travel fast and fly in an airplane.
But there is another way to get around.
You can take the bus.
Yes, I know, traveling by bus is slower than going by train, car or airplane.
But it is a cheap and comfortable way to travel.
Will it be boring?
Of course not.
Long ago, taking a bus wasn't very fun.
Buses were crowded and uncomfortable.
Today, traveling by bus is very comfortable.
The seats are better.
So you can sleep and relax.
You can watch movies.
If you want, you can also use the Internet for free on the bus.
You can work on your computer, read a book or sit back and enjoy the scenery.
Take the bus today.
Save money and travel in a comfortable way.
(Music).
Calendar Phrase.
That's not bad.
That's not bad.
(Chinese).
I can go to Paris for $500.
That's not bad.
I can go to New York for $300.
That's not bad.
I can go to Miami for $200.
That's not bad.
Or I can stay home for free.
That's even better.
That's not bad.
That's not bad.
(Chinese).
The last two days we have talked about riding on buses.
Some buses take you to different places in a city.
Other buses can take you to different cities.
If you stay in the same city, you should not ride the bus very long.
But if you go to a different city, you may have a long trip.
So we talked about many things to do on the bus.
Mark and Ken had some ideas.
But Nathan, what do you do when you take a trip on the bus?
Well, some buses have TVs to let you watch movies.
So if there's a good movie to watch, I like to do that.
But what do you like to do when you travel on the bus, Katie?
Well, you know me.
I like to read on the bus.
OK, friends, we're out of time for today.
But we will have another lesson for you tomorrow.
So join us then right here on...
Let's Talk in English. Bye-bye!
(Music).
