Now it's time for a game.
Today's game is called Two...
... in One.
That's right.
In this game, we will say two key words in one sentence.
Please tell me which key words I used.
Here is my sentence.
I stayed inside because the wind was blowing so hard.
I stayed inside because the wind was blowing so hard.
OK. Well, we talked a lot about weather today.
And I know the wind blows.
So one of the key words is blow.
And the other one... ah, the other key word is stay.
Stay and blow.
Yes, those were the key words that I used.
Now it's time to review today's conversations.
(Music).
The storm is still really bad outside.
Driving will be difficult tonight.
I know. Some streets are starting to flood.
Did you check the weather?
There was a tornado south of us!
I heard about it, and it can stay south of us!
When will this storm be over?
Who knows?
But it's not a typhoon!
That's good.
We don't have typhoons here.
No, we don't.
But I was in one in Taiwan.
Tell me about it!
It was not fun.
The wind blew, and there was lots and lots of rain.
What did you do?
I stayed in my friend's apartment.
But I couldn't do much.
Why not?
There was no power.
So I couldn't watch TV or use my computer.
How long did the typhoon last?
It lasted about 24 hours.
Everyone was glad when it was over.
Does Taiwan have a lot of typhoons?
Sometimes. Every year is different.
The typhoon season is from June to September.
There is a season for typhoons?
Yes, there is.
I'll remember that.
If I go to Taiwan, I won't go during typhoon season!
Oh, Monkey Man, I'm scared!
Scared? Ginger, what are you afraid of?
The storm is still really bad.
I know. Last night the wind really blew.
Yeah. And it's still raining and raining.
I know. Some streets are starting to flood.
This storm is not fun.
When will it be over, Monkey Man?
I don't know.
Oh, Monkey Man, I'm so scared.
Ginger, you don't need to be scared!
But it's a bad storm.
I know. But at least we still have power.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, no!
"Oh, no" is right!

(Chinese).
We've been talking so much about bad weather for this lesson.
I'm ready to talk about something else.
I don't want to have bad weather.
Well, at least it isn't typhoon season.
So we shouldn't have any typhoons.
We should be thankful for that.
But we might have some storms.
It might rain very hard or... or the wind might blow.
And then we'll have to stay inside until it is over.
But storms don't last that long here.
If there is a storm, we shouldn't have to stay inside for a long time.
Unless there's a flood, and... and then we can't go anywhere.
Or... or what if there's a tornado?
And... and then we may not have anywhere to stay.
I think we'll be safe from tornadoes, Nathan.
Don't worry.
Friends, our WEATHER lesson is over.
I don't think Nathan can teach it anymore.
We'll see you next time here on...
Let's Talk in English. Goodbye.
(Music).
