Welcome back.
I hope you are excited because it's time to play a game you all know.
It's called: I Know It!
I Know It!
Do you know it?
You need to guess which key word I'm going to talk about.
And when you know which key word it is, raise your hand and say...
I know it!
Are you ready?
Here we go.
This is something I put on an envelope.
I have to have it to mail my letter.
It is small.
And if I don't have it, I can't mail my letter.
Hey, I know it.
Nathan, I know it.
The key word you're talking about is a stamp, right?
You are right.
And I'm sure you got the answer, too.
Good job, everyone.
Now I think it's time to review today's conversations together.
Good morning, Joe.
Good morning, Megan.
What are you looking at?
I'm looking at stamps online.
You can look at stamps online?
Of course!
Look at all these stamps.
You can buy many different kinds.
Wow, there are a lot of stamps.
I like these.
Me, too.
Do you collect stamps?
No, but I like unique stamps.
I mail things with them.
Do you mail a lot of things?
Well, I mail letters.
I also mail cards on holidays and on people's birthdays.
Me, too.
I buy holiday stamps.
They're so cute!
And I have birthday stamps, too.
Special stamps are fun.
But the lines at the post office are so long.
I don't like that.
I don't, either.
But you can print your own postage at home.
You can't print the fun stamps, though.
Oh. Well, that is still convenient.
Yes, it is.
You go online.
You buy your postage.
Then you print it.
That is easy!
I can try it.
Hi, Monkey Man.
Hi, Ginger.
Look! I have some cards.
I want to send them to my monkey friends.
That's really nice.
And I wrote some letters, too.
Wow, what did you write?
I wrote ABC.
ABC.
Well, those are good letters.
I can help you mail them.
Hooray! Let's get stamps at the post office.
No. Actually, we can buy postage stamps online.
Really? How?
Well, we just go online.
You buy postage.
Then you print it.
Oh. So we don't have to stand in line.
We'll buy stamps online.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You could say that.
Hello.
(Chinese).
Calendar Phrase.
That is easy.
That is easy.
(Chinese).
Can you make pizza?
Yes. That is easy.
Can you make soup?
Yes. That is easy.
Can you make cookies?
Yes. That is easy.
Can you make them now?
Yes. Can you eat them now?
Yes. That is easy!
That is easy.
That is easy.
(Chinese).
It's time to Answer It!
Here is question one.
What does Joe do with unique stamps?
What does Joe do with unique stamps?
The answer is in Conversation B.
He mails things with them.
OK, now it's time for question two.
Do you mail birthday and holiday cards? Why or why not?
Do you mail birthday and holiday cards? Why or why not?
OK. Let's hear what our friends have to say.
Do I mail birthday and holiday cards?
Well, thanks to Facebook, I don't send birthday cards anymore.
I simply wish my friends and family happy birthday on their Facebook pages.
But I do send Christmas cards every year to about 50 friends and family.
I like... for them to see pictures of my two little boys.
Do I mail birthday and holiday cards?
I always plan to.
But I think about it, and it's too early to mail cards.
So I wait.
And then suddenly, I waited too long, and it's too late to send them.
So I would like to, but I usually don't.
I'll send an e-mail or call instead.
But you can send me cards.
I like that.
Do I mail birthday and holiday cards?
Well, yes.
Though, sometimes, sometimes I mail holiday cards to family who live far away.
But many times I just buy the card, write on it, and then give it to my family
in person.
I like to give birthday cards or holiday cards to family in person so I can see
them smile or laugh or... not like my card.
Well, friends, those were great answers.
Keep practicing your English.
And join us next time here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
