Welcome back, friends.
Now it's time to play a key word game.
Let's play... I Know It!
I Know It!
Do You Know It?
OK. In I Know It, I will talk about one of our key words.
When you know which key word I am talking about, raise your hand and say...
I know it!
Here we go.
This key word is something that you can do.
Maybe when you get in something or you get on something to go somewhere, you can
use this word.
Oh! I know it, Nathan.
When you said you can get in or on something, I knew it.
The key word is ride.
Great job!
You can ride the bus or ride the subway.
Now let's review today's conversations.
(Music).
Susie, my favorite person!
How are you today?
I'm great.
Do you need something, Mark?
Well, uh... you have a car.
And you live by Rocky's Restaurant.
I might meet a friend there tonight.
Do you want a ride after work?
Yes, I do! Thanks!
Sorry, Mark.
I can't give you a ride.
Why not?
I can't drive my car.
It's in the shop.
Oh. How did you get to work today?
I rode the bus.
Oh! Can I ride the bus with you after work?
Of course. Do you ever take the bus?
Not very often.
Can I use your computer?
OK. Here.
Thanks.
Why do you need my computer?
I can show you the bus schedule.
Oh, great!
And here is a map.
You can see the different bus stops.
OK. So we get on bus 265.
There is a stop near the TV station.
Then we get off at this stop here.
It is four blocks from the restaurant.
Perfect!
Thanks, Susie!
Monkey Man, I'm waiting and waiting and waiting!
All right, Ginger, what are you waiting for?
I'm waiting for the bus.
You're waiting for the bus? Here?
Yeah. I can't drive, so I'm taking the bus.
Well, Ginger, do you take the bus very often?
No. Not very often.
Did you look at the bus schedule?
No. What time does the bus come?
I'm sorry, Ginger. The bus doesn't come to the Jungle Cafe.
Oh! So that's why I'm waiting and waiting and waiting!
That's right!
And waiting and waiting and waiting...
And waiting.
Oh...
Hello.
(Chinese).
Calendar Phrase.
Not very often.
Not very often.
(Chinese).
Do you ever go swimming?
Not very often.
Do you ever watch movies?
Not very often.
Do you ever go hiking?
Not very often.
So what do you do?
I do a lot of things.
But not very often.
Not very often.
Not very often.
(Chinese).
This is a great day to Answer It!
Let's look at question one.
How often does Mark take the bus?
How often does Mark take the bus?
You can find the answer in Conversation B.
Mark doesn't take the bus very often.
OK. Here is question two.
How often do you ride a bus?
How often do you ride a bus?
Let's hear what our friends have to say.
(Music).
How often do I take the bus?
Well, I don't take the bus.
Why? Because I can fly.
Taking the bus is not fun.
There are too many people there.
And they like to step on me.
I don't like that. Too many people.
That is why I don't take the bus.
I like to fly or maybe take the taxi.
How often do I ride the bus?
Well, I don't ride the bus that often.
I usually drive or take the subway.
But sometimes if there's a problem with my car, then I would take the bus.
Or if I'm traveling a longer distance, then I like to ride the bus.
It's fun to sit on the bus and look out the window at the scenery.
It's a really great way and a cheap way to travel.
How often do I ride a bus?
Well, the bus makes it very easy to get around the city.
Sometimes I like to go out and do fun activities, like going to the theater to
see a movie.
But some of the places I enjoy going to are very far from where I live.
I don't have a car, so I have to find another way to get there.
This means that I have to take the bus a lot.
How often do I ride a bus?
Well, let's see.
I don't take a bus to work.
I don't have a job.
And I don't take a bus on long trips because I don't have enough money.
And I don't take a bus shopping because I'm not allowed on the bus.
So I don't take the bus at all. Too bad.
Great job today, everyone.
But now it's time for us to say goodbye and see you again here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
