Welcome back, friends.
It's time to play a game.
And the game that we are going to play today is called Two...
In One.
That's right, Two in One.
I will say a sentence that has two of today's key words.
You have to tell me which key words I use.
Are you ready?
Here we go.
My movie is due tomorrow so I need to return it.
My movie is due tomorrow so I need to return it.
I remember "due" was a key word today.
The second part of the sentence has "return".
"Return" is another key word.
"Due" and "return" are the key words that you used.
You're right, Nathan.
Those were the key words.
My movie is due tomorrow so I need to return it.
Good job!
OK, friends, I hope that you heard the key words in my sentence.
Try to say your own Two-in-One sentence at home with a friend.
It's great practice.
Now we need to review today's conversations.
(Music).
Hi, Ken.
What are you reading?
The Best of Baseball.
Oh! That's a bestseller.
Did you just download it?
Yes, yesterday.
It's really interesting.
How much did it cost?
Nothing. It was free!
What? Where did you get that book for free?
From the library!
Oh. I always forget.
The library lends e-books now, too.
Don't you check out e-books?
No. How do I do it?
Well, first you need a library card.
Just like for paper books.
That's right.
So you can only check out e-books from a local library.
Yes. But you just go to the library's website and download a book.
You don't need to go to the library.
That's convenient.
Here's another nice thing about e-books.
You never pay late fees.
So you don't have to return e-books?
No. When a book is due, you won't be able to open it anymore.
Oh. So when is your book due?
In two weeks.
Can you finish it by then?
I can finish it tonight!
Wow. It must be a really good book!
Hello, Monkey Man.
Monkey Man! Hello, Monkey Man.
Oh. Hi, Ginger.
I'm reading an e-book.
Ooh. What book are you reading?
It's called The Best of Monkeys.
It must be a great book.
You know, Ginger, you can read e-books free.
Really? I can read e-books?
Mmhm, sure. You can check out an e-book from the local library.
And then I can read it?
That's right.
Or you can download it from the library's website.
Wow! I want to read an e-book.
OK, here's a list of books.
Which one do you like?
I don't know.
I can't read.
Then why do you want an e-book?
Because you said I could read it.
Hello.
(Chinese).
Do you like to read books?
Do you like to borrow books for free?
If you do, then you can either go to a library or get the new exciting Library
Pad.
What is the Library Pad?
The Library Pad is the library of the future.
It's not a place, but a computer or tablet.
You can buy this tablet and read any book you want.
You can carry 100 or even 1,000 books in one Library Pad.
You don't have to check out your books, either.
You just need a library card.
And then you can download books online for free!
Amazing!
Here is another great thing about the Library Pad.
There are no late fees.
Wow!
You just can't read the book after the due date.
Everything works online, and is fast and convenient.
You can read the Library Pad during the day or night.
It's also very light!
You can carry it with you everywhere you go.
The future is here.
Get your Library Pad today.
Calendar Phrase.
That's a bestseller.
That's a bestseller.
(Chinese).
I love Betty's Book.
Everyone does. It's a bestseller.
It's a wonderful story.
Ah, yes. It's a bestseller.
And it has wonderful pictures.
Ah, yes. It's a bestseller.
Betty's Book is great.
I want to buy three copies.
Sorry. We sold them all.
It's a bestseller.
That's a bestseller.
That's a bestseller.
(Chinese).
Well, that is the end of today's lesson.
And I think that we all learned a lot.
I know that I learned a lot today.
I didn't know that you could borrow e-books from the library.
That is so convenient!
I think it's convenient, too.
That's an easy way to borrow a book from the library because you don't have to
leave your home.
You can just go to the website.
Nathan, do you go to libraries often?
Well, actually I live close to a library.
But I don't go there very often because most of the books are in Chinese.
That's true.
All the books are in Chinese.
When I'm at home, I like to go to the library because it's a good place for me
to check out books and movies.
I like the library.
Well friends, that is all the time that we have today.
But join us for a new lesson tomorrow right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
