Welcome back, friends.
It's time to play a game.
And today's game is called Two...
In One.
That's right.
Today we will make a sentence for you that has two key words in it.
You have to tell us which words that we use.
Are you ready?
I'm going to go first today.
Here is my sentence.
Summer is a popular season for going swimming.
Summer is a popular season for going swimming.
"Popular" and "season" are both key words, right?
You're right, Nathan.
Good job.
Now I have a Two-in-One sentence.
Is there a place to pay my bills around here?
Is there a place to pay my bill around here?
That's a great sentence.
OK, I know one of the key words is "bill." And the other one...
Oh, the other one is "around." "Bill" and "around," right?
You were right, too.
Very good.
Thank you, Nathan.
OK, friends, that's all the time that we have.
So let's review today's lesson.
(Music).
Hey, Mark!
It's really hot today!
Yeah. It reminds me of home!
That's right! You're from Texas!
It's really hot there!
True. Summer is a very hot season in Texas.
Is it as hot as this?
Usually! But it's a little too hot in here.
The air conditioner is still broken!
The repairman can't come until this afternoon.
Too bad.
How do you keep cool in Texas?
There are lots of ways to stay cool!
Like what?
Well, AC bills aren't cheap!
I use a fan when I can!
You can drink something cold, too!
Right! A tall glass of iced tea tastes great on a hot day!
You can also wear cool clothes, like shorts!
I love to go swimming when the weather is hot.
Swimming sounds great right now.
In Austin, I always went swimming at Barton Springs.
What's that?
It's a natural spring.
Even on the hottest day, the water is always cold!
That sounds perfect!
It's a very popular place in Austin.
Are there any springs around here?
I don't know!
Let's find out.
Ginger, it's really hot today.
Yeah, it's really hot.
It reminds me of the jungle.
Yeah, summer is hot in the jungle... and in the Jungle Cafe.
So how can we keep cool, Monkey Man?
Well, we can turn on the electric fan.
No! It's too big.
What are some other ways?
We can drink iced tea.
Yeah, iced tea tastes great on hot days.
And we can wear cool clothes, like shorts.
Monkey Man, I don't wear clothes, and I'm still hot!
Well, we can go swimming.
How about that, Ginger?
Yeah, I love swimming.
Me, too.
Swimming is a good way to get cool.
And a good way to get wet.
Uh, yeah.
Funny, huh?
Very.
Hello.
(Chinese).
Hello, everyone.
How do you feel today?
Are you feeling hot and tired?
Yes, we are in the middle of summer.
It's the warmest season of the year here in Center City.
And when it's hot outside, you want to stay cool inside.
So what do you use to keep cool?
Maybe you use a fan.
Fans can really help you stay cool.
They blow air around.
But sometimes a fan isn't strong enough.
You need something cooler.
Aha! You can use an air conditioner, or AC.
An AC can really keep your house cool and comfortable.
Just be careful.
The AC can sometimes make your house too cold.
Then you might get sick and catch a cold.
Do you need a fan or air conditioner?
I know a very popular place.
Go to the Keep Cool store.
They have everything you need to keep cool during the hot season.
The Keep Cool store.
Cool things, cool prices.
Calendar Phrase.

Well, that's all that we have for today.
But this has been a great lesson.
We've learned a lot about hot weather and how to keep cool with an air
conditioner.
But let's see how well you were paying attention.
Katie, I have a question for you.
What are some ways to keep cool during summer?
Good question, Nathan.
I... I can keep cool by going swimming.
Or I can drink something cold.
Well, those are both right.
Like we learned earlier, there are many different things you can do to keep
cool.
I know it's the middle of summer right now, but we hope that you keep cool.
Because if you don't keep cool, you might get sick, like we learned.
You have to be careful in a heat wave.
But friends, please come back tomorrow and join us.
We will have a new lesson for you and learn a lot right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
Bye-bye, everyone.
