Welcome back, friends.
It's time for us to play a game to review what you have learned today.
And today's game is called Fill in the...
... Blank.
That's right.
I will say a sentence that has a blank in it.
And you need to tell me which key word should go in the blank.
Are you ready? Here we go.
Here is my sentence.
What's the (blank) between the regular train and the high speed train?
What's the (blank) between the regular train and the high speed train?
I think that the blank must be "difference." What's the difference between the
regular train and the high speed train?
Nathan, you are right.
Difference was the key word that I used.
OK, friends, now it's time for us to review today's conversations.
(Music).
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Let's Talk!
Have you ever been on a high speed train?
They are fast and convenient.
And here to tell us all about them is my special guest, Mr. Hugh S. Train!
Welcome to the show, Mr. Train.
Thank you, Rob.
I love talking about trains!
Can you tell us about high speed trains?
Sure, Rob. High speed trains are a great way to travel.
They are fast and comfortable!
How fast do high speed trains go?
The fastest high speed train in China can go 311 miles per hour.
Wow. That is really fast!
High speed train stations are also very modern.
They are! They look like airports!
Yes. The stations are usually bigger than older train stations, too.
Many places around the world have high speed trains, right?
Yes. France, Russia and South Korea have high speed trains.
Japan has a high speed train, too.
It does. Japan has a great high speed train system.
I've ridden a high speed train from Taipei!
It can be expensive.
The cost of the ticket depends on the distance you travel.
Sure.
If the distance is far, it is more expensive.
If the distance isn't as far, it is cheaper.
So there can be a big difference in cost.
Yes. But taking the train is still cheaper than flying!
(Background Noise).
Talk about trains! Talk about trains!
Ginger, I have to ask, why are you talking like a train?
I love trains. Ooh, ooh, especially fast trains.
Oh, you mean high speed trains.
Yeah. Talk about trains! Talk about trains!
You know, high speed trains are a great way to travel.
Yeah. You can travel fast, fast, fast!
Mmhm. And the stations are big, big, big and modern, too.
Monkey Man, can we ride a fast train, huh, can we?
I don't know, Ginger.
It's expensive.
Ooh, how much?
Well, it depends on how far you go.
Let's go far! Let's go fast!
Silly monkey.
Hello. (Chinese).
(Music).
Calendar Phrase.

(Chinese).
Our TRAVEL lesson is over, friends.
We hope that you had fun learning about trains this week.
Nathan, when you go to other cities, do you take the train?
Well, if I'm going a far distance, I take the high speed train.
I can get to places quickly that way.
But if I'm not going too far, I like to take the bus.
It is much cheaper.
Yes. There can be a big difference in the cost.
You always need to choose carefully when you decide how you will travel
somewhere.
But there is something else that is important to know when you choose.
The high speed train does not go to a lot of places.
The normal train and buses go to many more places.
That's true.
Now, friends, we're out of time for today.
But be sure that you join us again tomorrow for a new show right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
