OK, friends, we are back.
And you know what we need to do.
We want to play a game.
This game is call Two...
... in One.
OK.
In this game, I will use two key words in one sentence.
Please tell me which key words I use.
Here is my sentence.
Maggie is rude and ignores people when she goes to dinner with them.
Maggie is rude and ignores people when she goes to dinner with them.
OK. Well, today we talked a lot about manners.
So I think that one of the key words is rude.
And if you're being rude, you're probably ignoring people.
So the two key words are rude and ignore.
That is right, Katie.
They're not very nice words, but they're the right answer.
OK, let's move on to review today's conversations.
(Music).
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, Monkey Man.
Yes!
Do you want to play a game?
Yes!
What game do you want to play?
Oh, yes!
Monkey Man, are you listening to me?
Yes!
Oh, sorry, Ginger. Did you say something?
Oh! You're ignoring me, Monkey Man.
Ginger, I'm sorry.
I was playing a game on my cellphone.
That is rude.
It's impolite!
And now you're upset.
Yes. Don't play games.
I'm talking to you.
OK. OK. I'll put my cellphone away.
Good. Now we can talk.
Uh, sorry.
Don't answer that.
Why not?
Monkey Man!
But Ginger, it's for you.
Oh! You can answer it.
Hi. Oh, Monkey Mom. Hello.
Hello.
(Chinese).
eREPORT.
(Music).
Hello, my name is Gabe, and this is eREPORT.
Swimming is a great way to exercise.
When you swim, you use your whole body.
It can be a lot of hard work, but it is healthy for you.
So what are we waiting for?
Let's go take a dip in the pool.
Swimming in a pool is a lot of fun.
But before you go swimming, you need to know the rules.
Pools have a lot of rules.
Rules protect people and keep a swimming pool clean.
One important rule is what you wear.
At a public pool, you need to wear a swimsuit.
In Asia, you also need to wear a swim cap and goggles.
Another rule is to shower and wash your body before going into the pool.
A lifeguard will watch carefully if anyone breaks a rule.
Some pools have lanes where people can swim up and down.
There is also a special pool for people to sit and relax after exercising.
Or they can sit and relax in a sauna.
Huh, wow. That was great.
I love swimming.
And I can swim anywhere.
I could swim in a lake or river or the ocean or at a pool like this.
And you can, too.
Thanks for joining us here today.
This is Gabe with eREPORT, and I'm drying off.
Calendar Phrase.
I'm checking my phone.
I'm checking my phone.
(Chinese).
Excuse me, I'm checking my phone.
You're doing what?
I'm checking my phone.
Right now?
Yes. I'm checking my phone.
Why?
My girlfriend might call.
But I'm your girlfriend!
Oh. I forgot you were here.
I'm checking my phone.
I'm checking my phone.
(Chinese).
Manners are so important in everyday life.
And like we learn today, manners are very important when we are using our
cellphones.
That's right.
This happens a lot in life.
I always see people using their cellphones when they're at dinner with other
people.
Friends, if you go to dinner with people, don't check your phone.
That is impolite.
Right. We should talk to the people that we're eating with.
That's very important.
Yes, it is.
Well, we hope that you learned a lot today.
I know that Katie and I enjoyed teaching you.
And we have part 2 of this lesson called Cellphone Manners tomorrow.
So please come back and join us here on...
Let's Talk in English. Goodbye.
(Music).
