Welcome back.
Today we are going to tell you a Key Word Story.
So listen for all of your key words.
Ready?
Here we go.
Grandpa says he can get anywhere without any help.
He doesn't need directions from people.
He says that people will just lead him the wrong way.
The problem is he gets lost all the time.
The last time he got lost caused him to see that he needed some help.
Grandpa doesn't know about the latest technology.
He did not know that GPS devices existed.
So I got him one for his birthday.
Now he never gets lost.
He loves his GPS.
Friends, that was our Key Word Story.
We hope that you enjoyed it.
Let's review today's conversations.
(Music).
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to Let's Talk!
So, how do you get directions?
Do you use GPS?
Well, here to tell us all about GPS is my special guest for today.
Mr. GPS: Gary P. Smith!
Welcome, Mr. Gary P. Smith!
Many people have GPS devices in their cars.
Or they use smartphones with GPS.
That's right, Rob.
With GPS, people can get from place to place easily.
They don't need to use a paper map!
Yes. I use my phone's GPS to get directions.
With GPS, you can get maps and directions to almost anywhere.
Are there any bad things about GPS?
Yes. Sometimes your GPS device can lead you to a road that doesn't exist.
Or a road that is closed.
Yes.
Your GPS device doesn't always have the latest road information.
Also, a GPS device can sometimes be dangerous.
How can they be dangerous?
Sometimes people look at the device too much.
Then they don't watch the road.
That can cause accidents.
Do you use GPS to get to places?
Today, many smartphones have GPS.
And many people have GPS devices for their cars.
If you use GPS, you can get from place to place easily.
You don't have to carry or use a paper map.
GPS will give you directions to almost anywhere.
But GPS isn't perfect.
Sometimes it can lead you to a road that doesn't exist.
Your GPS device doesn't always have the latest information.
GPS devices can also sometimes cause accidents.
Oh, no.
Where is the Monkey Man? Oh, Money Man?
Sorry, Ginger. I'm late.
Where were you, Monkey Man?
I don't know. I was lost.
Why didn't you look at a map?
I didn't have a map.
I was using my cellphone's GPS.
And your GPS was wrong?
Yes!
It led me down a road that doesn't exist.
What road?
I don't know.
It doesn't exist.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Then it led me to a road that was closed!
Oh, Monkey Man, your smartphone isn't very smart, is it?
It's not very smart.
Hello.
(Chinese).
I'm... hungry!
Well, that's good.
It is time for dinner.
And I have made something delicious for us.
Delicious!
What kind of rice did you make tonight?
Darling, I didn't make rice.
You didn't?
No, darling, darling, we don't always...
Uh, Chinese people like us sometimes...
We... we sometimes...
Oh, I need Super Sentence Man.
And Super Sentence Man is close by.
I am Super Sentence Man.
And the super sentence for today is:
Something or someone doesn't always have something else.
You want to say...
Our meals don't always have rice in them.
Our meals don't always have rice in them.
Great!
Now what other super sentence can you give me?
Hmm. Gardens don't always have flowers.
Gardens don't always have flowers.
But many times they do.
What about you, Mr....

Mr. (Chinese), do you have a super sentence for me?
Oh! Yes.
Children's books don't always have pictures.
You are correct.
Children's books don't always have pictures.
Now, what super sentence do you need to use with your (Chinese)?
Darling, our meals don't always have rice in them.
You are correct!
Haha. Sometimes they have... noodles.
And that is how you use a super sentence.
Say it with me now.
A super sentence every day will make your English great!
Will you have dinner with us, Super Sentence Man?
Super Sentence Man doesn't always have time for dinner.
But tonight he does.
And I love Chinese food.
Actually, tonight we're having hamburgers.
Super!

We've talked a lot about how to get around the last few days, Nathan.
Can we remember all the different ways that can help us find new places?
Sure!
First, you can ask a friend for directions.
They might know where you want to go.
They can tell you how to get there very quickly.
And you can also use a map.
It will show you many roads and places that will help you find what you're
looking for.
But the map doesn't have to be paper.
You can get a map online with your phone or computer.
And last, you can use a GPS.
It can get you almost anywhere.
Just be careful with them.
Don't get into an accident.
Well, friends, that's our show for today.
Join us for some review tomorrow and for some new lessons next week on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
