Welcome back, friends.
Now it's time to play a game to remember today's key words.
Today's game is called Two...
... in One.
Once again, it's called Two...
... in One.
OK.
In this game, I'll use two key words in one sentence.
You just need to tell me what key words I used.
Here is my sentence.
If the Wi-Fi isn't working, I can't use the Internet.
If the Wi-Fi isn't working, I can't use the Internet.
OK.
The word Wi-Fi is in today's lesson title, so I think that's one of the key
words.
And when you use Wi-Fi, you're on the Internet.
So the two key words are Wi-Fi and Internet.
Yes. We learn both of those words today.
Very good, Katie.
And very good, friends.
I'm sure you got the answer, too.
Now let's go back and look at today's conversations.
Hi, Rob.
What are you doing?
Oh, hi, Susie.
I'm trying to log on to the station's Wi-Fi.
Isn't it great?
Many other places in the city have Wi-Fi, too!
Yes, it is.
But I have a problem.
I can't log on.
Why not?
I need a password to use it.
Do you remember the password?
I think the password is Time1234.
The library has free Wi-Fi, too.
Did you know that?
It's so convenient.
I know!
You can use Wi-Fi on a computer or a cellphone to browse the Internet.
Some airlines even offer Wi-Fi on their planes!
But that's not free!
Usually you need to pay for it.
You're right.
I pay for Wi-Fi on planes.
But it's not too expensive!
All right!
I can finally log on!
Me, too.
And the signal is strong.
Yes.
I can look at pictures and watch videos.
And I can look at Facebook.
This is great!
But we shouldn't spend too much time on the Internet.
We have work to do!
You're right.
Carol won't be very happy.
But we can use the station's Wi-Fi for work, too!
This is great!
What is great?
The Jungle Cafe has Wi-Fi.
Ooh, Wi-Fi.
It sounds delicious.
Let's order it for lunch.
Ginger, Wi-Fi isn't a food.
Oh. Then what is it?
You use it to connect your computer to the Internet.
Oh.
Well, where is it?
Show me the Wi-Fi.
Well, you can't really see it.
Oh. Well, then how do you know you have Wi-Fi?
Well, you look at the computer.
See?
It's connected to the Internet right there.
Hooray! Hooray!
So now what?
Well, now I can look at Facebook and play computer games.
Uh, shouldn't you be working, Monkey Man?
Oh, yeah.
Hello.
(Chinese).
eREPORT.
Hi, friends, my name is Katie, and this is eREPORT.
I am traveling in Hualien and seeing many different things.
Today I want to see it in a different way - from the air.
How am I going to do that?
Well, come with me and let's find out.
(Music).
Today I am going up in a hot air balloon.
Before I go up, I need to check the weather.
That's important.
You need good weather to go up in a hot air balloon.
If the flag is red, then the weather is not good.
You cannot go up in the balloon.
If the flag is yellow or green, then you can fly.
Hot air balloons usually fly in the early morning or late afternoon.
How do they fly?
First, a fan blows a lot of air into the balloon.
Then the balloon uses gas.
The gas helps make hot air.
The hot air then goes out into the balloon.
A hot air balloon can fly up and down with the help of hot air and ropes.
This hot air balloon can carry five people.
Other balloons can carry many more people.
Going up in a hot air balloon is very exciting.
You can see many interesting things when you go up in a balloon.
Wow. That was so much fun!
I was riding in a hot air balloon.
You can see so many things from the air when you're in a hot air balloon.
It's like flying, except you're in a balloon.
Friends, maybe you can go in a hot air balloon in the summer.
This is Katie for eREPORT.
See you later.
Calendar Phrase.
It's so convenient.
It's so convenient.
(Chinese).
There's a new store.
It's so convenient.
Is it close to here?
Yes. It's so convenient.
Is it open all day?
Yes. It's so convenient.
Does it sell snacks?
Yes. It's so convenient.
Great. Get me some chips, soda, popcorn, coffee and a banana.
And hurry back!
Hey! It's not that convenient.
It's so convenient.
It's so convenient.
(Chinese).
How much time do you spend on the Internet, friends?
Some of you might even be watching us on the Internet right now.
The Internet is really useful and it can also be fun.
We should be thankful to have the Internet.
So don't complain if your Wi-Fi signal isn't very strong sometimes.
But it is also easy to spend too much time on the Internet doing things that
aren't really important.
Yes, we all do it sometimes.
But we should be careful.
Maybe we could spend more free time reading, exercising or being with our
friends.
Now those are great ideas.
OK.
Use the Internet well, friends.
Our lesson is done for today.
But we'll see you again tomorrow here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
(Music).
