For today's game, we are going to use all of our key words to tell you a story.
Let's get started.
Pam had a great collection.
She collected tiny things.
And she kept them in a small box.
The box was made out of stone, and it was not very big.
One of her favorite items was a small boat.
She liked to float it in the bathtub.
But the boat could not cover big distances.
It was too small.
Well, that was a great story, friends.
Try to write your own at home.
And now let's review today's conversations.

I should ask you what you don't like.
That list would be shorter!

I think this has been a great week of learning on Let's Talk in English.
And we finished our lessons on museums.
I think we all learned a lot from them.
Well, I know I learned some new things.
And I hope that you want to visit a museum now.
And if you're in Taipei, visit the National Palace Museum or a different one.
Taipei has a lot of great museums.
They're all very interesting.
If you're near a big city, they usually do have some great museums.
I know I'm going to the Taipei Fine Arts Museum this weekend.
Well, that is a great museum.
I mentioned the Taipei Fine Arts Museum a couple days ago.
I went there one time, and I really enjoyed it.
If you like art or ancient art, you should visit that museum.
Well, I'm sure that it will be a lot of fun.
And I'm really looking forward to it.
And I'm looking forward to seeing you again here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
