Friends, it's time for us to play a game.
We are going to tell you a story using all of today's key words in it.
Ready? Here we go.
Sometimes people do really annoying things.
Like last night, I went to a restaurant for dinner.
And the girl at the table next to me wouldn't stop talking on her phone.
I wanted to tell her to turn it off.
But that would have been rude.
Talking on the phone isn't against the law.
But it's not good manners.
Her friends were not happy.
And she kept talking anyway even though people were unhappy.
Now, friends, we need to move on and review today's conversations and Read it!
together.
(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.
(Music).
Look, Monkey Man.
I have a cellphone.
Oh, you do.
Yeah. These days, almost every monkey has a cellphone.
Well, Ginger, why aren't you using it?
Well, I have cellphone manners.
Ooh, cellphone manners.
Like what?
I never talk and drive.
Well, Ginger, that's because you don't drive.
I never text and drive.
Ginger, you don't drive.
I turn off my cellphone at the movies.
That's good. That's common sense.
And I put my phone on vibrate.
Is it on vibrate right now?
Yes. If someone calls, I'll check my phone.
Uh, Ginger, check your phone.
Wow.
Hello.
(Chinese).
So I'll give you the address, and you can find the restaurant with your
smartphone.
But June, I don't have a smartphone.
I just have a regular cellphone.
What?
I just have a...
I... I heard you, Beth. I just can't believe you don't have a smartphone.
These days, almost everyone has a smartphone.
Why didn't you...
I heard that!
What?
You just used today's super sentence.
June, what's going on?
Are you OK?
Oh, wait a minute, Beth.
I think Super Sentence Man is here.
I am here.
And the super sentence for today is:
These days, almost everyone something.
You just said: These days, almost everyone has a smartphone.
Yes. I did.
Of course.
Now just for fun, can you give me this super sentence in your own way?
Uh, sure.
These days, almost everyone uses Facebook.
Hmm. Good.
These days, almost everyone uses Facebook.
That's true.
Uh, could I talk to your friend on the phone?
Uh, sure!
Hello, friend, can you use...
Ah! Super Sentence Man!
I say super sentences every day.
I'm your biggest fan.
Oh. Well, that's what everyone says.
Now can you use today's super sentence?
Of course!
These days, almost everyone loves Super Sentence Man.
These days, almost everyone loves Super Sentence Man.
Well... well, that's true.
And that was a super sentence.
Remember, friend, a super sentence...
A super sentence every day will make your English great.
You know it!
Oh. Thank you. Uh, Beth?
June, you just saw Super Sentence Man!
I know!
What were we talking about?
Um, I don't know. Oh.
Calendar Phrase.
That's annoying.
That's annoying.
(Chinese).
Someone's cellphone is ringing.
That's annoying.
It keeps ringing and ringing.
That's annoying.
It's getting louder and louder.
That's annoying.
Oops. It's my cellphone.
That is so annoying.
That's annoying.
That's annoying.
(Chinese).
Friends, that's our show for today.
As we have learned, cellphone manners are very important.
We all have cellphones.
And when you use your phone, be polite.
Talk to your friends when you're at a restaurant with them.
Don't check your phone.
That's just rude.
And it can be annoying.
I know I don't like it when people use their phone during a movie.
So, friends, it's important to try to be polite.
Remember, you can put your phone on vibrate and check it later.
That's important.
That is important.
And now we're out of time for today.
But we will have a Saturday review show for you tomorrow.
And Nathan and I will be here again on Monday with a new show.
So be sure that you come back then.
We will see you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English. Goodbye.
