Welcome back.
We are going to play a game right now.
And today's game is a Key Word Story.
So listen for all of today's key words.
Are you ready?
Here we go!
Kim thought looking for an apartment in the city was hard.
All the places were too expensive, and they didn't have enough space.
She knew she would have to store her things at her mom's house.
Finally she found a small room.
Every foot of space counted.
But the apartment didn't include a kitchen.
That would be a problem.
OK, friends, that was our Key Word Story.
Did you hear all of the key words?
We used them all.
Right now we're going to review today's lesson.
(Music).
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Let's Talk!
I have a question for you.
What kind of place do you live in?
Well, today we are going to talk about some very special apartments.
Please help me welcome my guest, Ms. Ava Apartment!
Welcome, Ava Apartment!
Thank you, Rob.
I'm excited to be here!
A lot of people live in cities.
Many of these people have to live in small apartments.
Yes, because rent is expensive.
But living in a small apartment isn't bad.
There are many ways to save space.
Give us an example.
Store your things on shelves in your closet or drawers under your bed.
Then you'll have more space.
There are some pretty tiny apartments in the world.
That's right.
These are called "micro-apartments." They are around 200 or 300 square feet.
But some are even smaller!
Why would someone want to live in such a small place?
Large cities can be very expensive and crowded.
A micro-apartment saves money and space.
And it often still includes a kitchen and bathroom.
I guess every inch counts in a micro-apartment.
Bigger apartments usually mean higher rent.
So some people save money by living in micro-apartments.
In these apartments, every square foot counts!
One girl in New York lives in an apartment that is 90 square feet!
Another apartment in London is only 80 square feet.
But it still includes a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom!
People who live in micro-apartments have to save space.
They store their things in lots of drawers and shelves all around their homes.
Uh, Ginger, why are you looking at dog houses?
Ooh, these aren't dog houses.
They are micro-houses!
Micro-houses? But they're so small.
That's why they're called micro-houses!
Well, Ginger, living in a small space is a good idea.
You need to save space, though.
I know. So you can store stuff under your bed.
Hide it and forget it.
Yeah. In a micro-apartment, every inch helps.
Yeah!
Well, Ginger, I hope you find a nice micro-house for yourself.
Hey, it's not for me.
I'm finding one for you!
For me? No way!
I can't live in a micro-house.
Why not, Monkey Man?
Because Monkey Man is not micro!
Oh. Very funny.
Hello.
(Chinese).
A letter for you, Ms. Peacock.
Oh, a letter? From who?
Why, your brother Peter.
Oh, not again!
He always tells me I have problems.
Well, what are you waiting for?
Read it to me.
Oh. Of course, of course.
(Background Noise).
My dear sister... princess,
Have you thought about finding a job?
It's good to work...
Stop! This is silly. Why do I need a job?
How do... When should... What if I...
Why should I...
Why would I want to work?
Why would I want to work?
That was a super sentence!
I am Super Sentence Man.
And the super sentence for today is...
Why would someone want to do something?
Now, why would I want to work?
Can you give me this super sentence in another way?
Why would I want to say a super sentence?
I mean...
Why would I want to say a super sentence?
That was a super sentence!
What about you, kind sir?
Why would we want to go to the beach on a rainy day?
Why would we want to go to the beach on a rainy day?
Another super sentence!
Now what super sentence do you need to use with him?
What were we talking about?
Your letter from your brother Peter.
Oh. Right.
Why would I want to work?
Ah, if my...
That was a super sentence!
Say it with me now.
A super sentence every day will make your English great!
Anyway, if my husband and I are both working, who will enjoy a beautiful house
during the day?
I will!
Calendar Phrase.
I need more space.
I need more space.
(Chinese).
Your room is a mess.
I know. I need more space.
There is stuff everywhere.
I know. I need more space.
You have so many things.
I know. I need more space.
You don't need more space.
I don't?
No. You need less stuff!
Give some to me!
I need more space.
I need more space.
(Chinese).
Well, friends, we have finished with our lesson Save Some Space!
Nathan, how can our friends save some space at home?
I know a great way to save space.
You can save space if you don't buy many things.
Now saving space is important.
The more space you save, the more space you will have in your home.
And learning where to store things is a good idea, too.
Ava Apartment had some great ideas.
You can put your extra things under your bed.
Or you can put extra things inside drawers or on shelves.
Store things out of the way.
That's right.
If you store things out of the way, you don't have to see them.
You can store things that you are not using all the time.
Now, friends, we are finished for the day.
I hope that you learned a lot.
But we'll have a review show tomorrow where we review all the things that we
learned this last week.
And we will have new shows next week.
So we will see you then right here on...
Let's Talk in English. Goodbye.
