Welcome to this week's review show.
It's so great to see you on the weekend.
Today you can enjoy this week's conversations and look back at some of the
things we have learned.
We had three topics this week.
First, we had a celebration lesson for Megan's birthday.
Well, kind of.
And then we had an entertainment lesson about games for your phone.
Last, we had a life lesson that reminded us to be polite with our cellphones.
Let's give those lessons a look.
Surprise! Happy Birthday, Megan!
Oh! Wow!
Are you surprised?
Yes. I am surprised!
I am very surprised!
And you are very special.
Happy Birthday!
This is your first birthday here at the station.
So we planned a surprise!
And we have a cake for you.
I... Thank you, everyone.
I'm just so surprised!
Blow out the candles on your cake.
There are a lot of candles!
Yes, there are. Thank you!
It's a chocolate cake.
That is your favorite.
Yes. It is.
How did you know?
We talked about cake last week.
Oh, right.
And lemon cake is your favorite.
Cut the cake, Megan. Then we can have some.
We have a present for you, too. Here.
Thank you.
You're all so nice.
So are you!
I'm very happy.
But can I tell you something?
Sure. What?
Today is not my birthday.
It's not?
No. My birthday was last week!
Oh... well, we can still celebrate.
Happy Birthday!
(Music).
Hi, Mark. Hi, Ken.
Uh, Mark? Ken?
Oh! Sorry, Susie.
We're playing a game.
It's a really exciting game!
And I'm winning!
No, I'm winning.
What kind of game is it?
It's a word game.
The game gives us letters.
Then we spell words with them.
And... it's fun?
Yes!
What game is it?
It's called Wordy.
It's a free app.
You can play it alone or with friends!
A lot of people play this game!
It's very popular!
I don't understand.
You spell words. That isn't fun!
But it is! Try it!
Can you spell a word with these letters?
Yes, I can!
Ken and I are playing together.
Your turn, Ken!
I need more points. Hmm.
Hurry up, Ken!
I'm thinking!
Wow, you're right!
This game is exciting!
Ken has 90 points. I have 95.
Will you win?
That depends.
I'm waiting for Ken.
Ken, hurry up!
I'm thinking!
This game is fun.
But not everyone can spell fast!
I'm playing another game of Wordy.
Who wants to play against me?
Maybe later, Ken.
Rob just showed me a new game!
It's called Draw This.
Cool!
I'll download it now.
How do you play?
The game gives me a word like "horse." I have to draw a picture of it.
And I don't see the word.
So I have to guess the picture!
If Megan is right, we both get points!
You can draw well, Ken.
You'll be really good at this game!
I hope so!
OK, the download is complete.
What do I do now?
Make a username.
OK. My username can be "Ken... is... the... best.".
Very funny, Kenisthebest.
My username is "Megan99." Search for me, and we can play a game!
I found you!
Let's play a practice game first.
Great! Can I start?
Sure. Rob, you can help Ken.
Tap the screen here first.
Then the game will show you a word.
And I have to draw that word?
Right. But don't say the word!
Megan can't know it!
Hmm. This word is hard to draw.
Just try! I'm good at guessing!
You look upset, Susie.
What's bothering you?
Well, Rob, I had lunch today with some people from sales.
Was the food bad?
No, the food was good.
Was the server rude?
No. He was fine, too.
Then what was wrong?
The people from sales kept checking their phones!
Well, they are busy people.
I understand that.
But they should be polite.
They can say, "Excuse me, I have to take this call.".
And they didn't do that?
No. They just answered their cellphones at the table.
Then they had long conversations.
That's not right.
They should leave the table for long calls.
And one man played games on his phone for the whole meal.
He ignored everyone.
When people eat together, they should talk to each other.
That's polite.
I know.
But some people have bad phone habits.
They're impolite.
They are.
If you want to be on your phone, eat alone.
(Background Noise).
Is that your phone?
Yes, it is.
Aren't you going to take that call?
No. That's rude.
I'm busy talking to you!
(Music).
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to Let's Talk!
Now I'm sure most of you have cellphones.
But the question is, do you have good cellphone manners?
Well, to help us learn all about cellphone manners today, please help me welcome
Ms. Tara Phone.
Welcome to the show, Tara.
Thanks, Rob. I'm glad to be here.
You know, these days almost everyone has a cellphone.
But not everyone has good cellphone manners.
I know. It's too bad.
But most cellphone manners are just common sense.
Like what?
Don't talk and drive.
Or text and drive.
Both are dangerous.
And both are against the law in many places.
Yes. But some people do those things anyway.
Some people are always on their phones.
They make calls or take calls anywhere.
And it's very annoying when someone's phone rings during a movie.
Or during a concert!
People should turn off their cellphones in movie theaters, restaurants and
concert halls.
Or put their phones on vibrate.
Yes. They can see who is calling.
Then they can call the person back later.
Or go to a private place to talk.
That's right.
Most cellphone manners are just common sense.
But many people do not use good cellphone manners.
People don't think about others.
They make calls and take calls anywhere.
That is annoying to people in movie theaters, restaurants or concert halls.
People should turn off their cellphones or put them on vibrate in those places.
Sometimes people talk and drive, or they text and drive.
That's dangerous.
It is also against the law in many places, but people do it anyway.
Well, we had three topics this week.
We talked about a lot of things.
Now I have some review questions to ask you.
But I'm waiting for an old friend to... to get here.
Have you seen Chris?
What? Yes?
Someone said my name.
Yep. That was me.
Hi, Chris.
It's time for some review questions.
Oh, Nathan. I haven't seen you in a very long time.
Uh, where is Katie?
Is she not coming?
Oh. Well, sorry, Chris, not this time.
It's my turn.
Now are you ready for a question?
Of course.
I'm always ready for review questions.
OK. Well, there was a birthday party this week.
Do you remember who had a birthday?
Yes. I remember.
There was a surprise party for Megan.
It was her birthday.
Hmm, are you sure, Chris?
Yes, yes, yes. I remember very clearly.
They gave Megan a cake and... oh... that's right.
It wasn't her birthday.
Her friends were wrong.
Good job, Chris.
That was a hard question.
But let's try one more.
What username did Ken use for the game Draw This?
His username.
Hmm. Ken was his username...
It was "kenisthebest." That's a great name.
Oh, well, so you think Ken is the best, Chris?
Yes, yes, Ken is the best.
He's very nice.
He's good at his job.
Well, you're right about that.
OK, friends, I think it... it's about time...
Oh, and... and he's cool, he's fun to talk to, he has great hair, his
children...
Chris...
Well, I guess Chris knows Ken very well.
Anyway, it's time for a break.
But we'll be rightback.
