Welcome back to the show, friends.
Now it is time to play a review game.
And today we are going to play a game called Two...
In One.
That's right.
In this game, I will say a sentence with two key words in it.
You need to tell me which key words I used.
Listen carefully.
Even though John was a careless student, he was calm before the test.
OK. Even though John was a careless student, he was calm before the test.
OK, one key word is "careless." And I think the second key word is "calm."
Right, Nathan?
Those are the right key words.
Very good.
Now let's review today's conversations.
(Music).
Nice job on the news this morning, Mark.
Yes. You looked calm and sounded confident.
Thanks. But I felt nervous!
It didn't show.
You read some interesting stories, too.
They were interesting.
But there wasn't much good news.
Sometimes I get tired of bad news.
Our audience gets tired of bad news, too!
So I try to find some good stories.
You shared a humorous one this morning.
Yes. I liked it.
Which story?
The one about the parrot.
He stole $1,000 from a man in New Zealand.
Really? How?
The man stopped to take some pictures.
The bird flew in his car window and flew out with the money.
What does a parrot do with $1,000?
Who knows?
What did the man do?
He had generous friends.
They gave him money so he could finish his trip.
That's nice.
But he was careless with his money.
Maybe. But it's a funny story!
Yes. People need to laugh at some stories.
They hear enough bad news.
True. But the parrot story was bad news for one person!
Yes. The man who lost his money!
Monkey Man, what are you doing?
I'm reading the news... bad news.
Ginger, I'm tired of bad news.
I know some good news.
Really? Like what?
A thief stole $1,000.
That's not good news.
And the thief was a parrot.
A parrot!
That's humorous... but not for the one who lost the money.
But good news: the man's friends gave him more money.
Oh, that was very generous.
Yeah.
So what happened to the parrot?
Oh, I don't know.
I'll have to ask Chris.
Chris? Chris was the thief!
No. But he told me the story.
Hello.

We've learned some great key words in our lesson today - Let's Talk About
People.
Well, let's find out how well you were paying attention or if you were being
careless.
Nathan, what does Mark sometimes get tired of?
Oh. That's an easy question, Katie.
Mark said he gets tired of bad news.
That's right, Nathan.
Good job!
Mark gets tired of bad news.
I know I get tired of it, too.
And don't we all?

well.
