Welcome back, friends.
Now it's time to play a key word game.
And today's game is called Two...
... in One.
That's right.
When we play Two in One, I will make one sentence with two key words in it.
Please tell me which key words I used.
Are you ready?
I'm ready!
Here we go.
You can look at the train schedule while on the platform.
You can look at the train schedule while on the platform.
That's a good sentence.
But today we talked a lot about trains.
And when you ride the train, you need to know when it leaves, and a schedule
will tell you that.
So schedule is one key word.
And I think the other key word is platform.
Schedule and platform.
Great job, Katie.
Those are great words to know about trains.
Now it's time to review today's conversations.
(Music).
Hi, Rob. What is that?
Hi, Ken. It's a train schedule.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to visit a friend in Chicago next weekend.
Why don't you fly?
I got a great deal on my train ticket.
A friend sent me a coupon online.
Really?
Yes. Look.
Wow. Twenty-five percent off!
That is a great deal.
My train leaves on Friday at 7:00.
I leave after work.
What platform does your train leave from?
Umm... The train leaves from platform three.
A lot of trains leave from platform three.
You're right. It's often crowded.
What time do you arrive in Chicago?
If the train is on time, I arrive at 10 p.m.!
Is it an express train?
No. The train stops at almost every station.
Then it's a long trip.
Not really. It's only about three hours.
Oh, that's not bad.
I can bring a book to read on the train.
Or you can listen to music or talk with other passengers.
Sure. I love talking to people.
I know.
(Background Noise).
Let's take the train!
Let's take the train!
OK, Ginger, what's in your hand?
It's a train schedule.
(Background Noise).
Hmm, a train schedule.
Yeah. I want to go to New York.
You still want to go to New York?
Yeah. Well... OK.
Forget New York.
I want to go to Chicago!
Chicago! Why?
The train tickets are a great deal.
Hmm. Is it an express train?
No. It stops at almost every station.
Hmm, that's too bad.
No. That's good.
Why is that good?
Because when it stops, the train goes (Background Noise).
Ginger, you're pretty silly.
(Background Noise).
Yeah. That's fun!
Hello.
(Chinese).
(Background Noise).
All aboard!
Hello, everyone, my name is Tom.
And I love trains.
Do you like trains?
Trains are very popular.
Traveling by train is a great way to see a country.
In many countries, trains are still the fastest and best way to travel.
If you like trains, then come to Tom's Train Park.
At Tom's Train Park, you can enjoy the comfortable seats of an old train.
Walk around the train platform and learn the history of trains.
You can also learn about different kinds of trains.
High speed trains, coal trains, electric trains...
And of course, you can take a ride on a little train that goes around the park.
Kids and adults like taking train rides.
Now don't worry.
These trains don't go too fast.
You won't get sick.
Get your tickets and come to Tom's Train Park.
Our trains are waiting for you at the platform.
(Background Noise).
Calendar Phrase.
That is a great deal.
That is a great deal.
(Chinese).
I can fly to Chicago for $300.
That is a great deal.
I can take the train for $150.
That is a great deal.
I can take the bus for $75.
That is a great deal.
But why do you want to go to Chicago?
It's a great deal!
That is a great deal.
That is a great deal.
(Chinese).
You all know some great words about trains now.
When you ride the train, try to remember them.
Many of them are very important.
That's right.
If you're in the United States, you might get very confused if you don't know
the words ticket and platform.
You may not be able to ride the train or you might get on the wrong one.
That's right.
Sometimes trains leave at the same time if you look at the schedule.
But you will get on the right train if you go to the right platform.
You can also try to ride an express train if you want.
Then you will arrive where you want to go more quickly.
But if you really want to go quickly, get on a high speed train.
We're talking about those tomorrow on the show.
Don't miss it.
We hope to see you there on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
