Hello, everyone.
Welcome to Let's Talk in English.
This is LTE TV.
My name is Susie.
Hey, look at your calendar.
It's Saturday.
And today we can talk about the lessons.
This week we talked about fruit.
And Carol and I made a smoothie, remember?
Oh, it was so good!
But that's not all.
I bought a calendar with baby animals.
I also went to a farm and saw real baby animals.
Animals are amazing!
Hey, and I can't wait because we have an amazing review time this week.
Listen carefully because we have some questions for you later.
Are you ready?
Let's listen.
Good morning, Ken.
Is that banana your breakfast?
Yes. I usually eat fruit for breakfast.
I know!
Are bananas your favorite fruit?
I like them.
But I like apples and grapes more.
I like grapes, too.
Do you like green grapes or red grapes?
I love both!
And I love oranges, too.
But sometimes grapes are sour.
I don't like that.
I don't, either.
I like sweet grapes.
What other fruits do you like?
I like peaches!
Me, too! I like peach pie!
I like peaches with yogurt.
I don't eat much yogurt.
Why not?
You eat a lot of fruit.
And fruit is good with yogurt.
Hmm. Maybe I can try it.
I tried a new fruit yesterday.
It was strange and delicious!
What was it?
I can show you.
I have one in my bag.
Look!
Oh! That is strange.
What is it?
It's a star fruit.
You cut it. And each piece is a star shape.
Can I try it?
I have a knife in my desk.
Sure! Let's cut it now.
I'm hungry!
Hi, Susie! What are you drinking?
Oh, hi, Carol!
I'm drinking a fruit smoothie.
It has pineapple and other fruits in it.
It's delicious!
I had a smoothie for breakfast today.
Did you make it?
Yes! I used to buy smoothies, but now I'm making them at home.
So I can save money.
Can you teach me?
Maybe I can save money, too.
Sure!
What do I do first?
First, you need some fresh fruit.
I like to use strawberries, bananas or peaches.
Do I cut the fruit?
You don't have to.
Your blender will do all the work!
So I put the fruit in the blender?
Yes. Next, add water, milk or juice.
Can I add yogurt?
Sure! You can add ice, too!
OK. What else?
Sometimes I add spinach.
Spinach? In a smoothie?
Yes! It's a "green smoothie"!
It's very healthy!
Can you taste the spinach?
Not really!
Interesting.
What do I do next?
Turn on your blender for about one minute and then try your smoothie.
Why?
If it's not sweet enough, add sugar or honey.
I see! That's easy! I can't wait!
OK! Here we go!
Hey, Susie.
What are you looking at?
I'm looking at a really cute calendar, Joe.
It has pictures of baby animals!
Is it your calendar?
Yes. It was a gift.
Isn't it cute?
Yes! I see a puppy.
Is it a dog calendar?
No. There are all kinds of baby animals.
Look at this little chick.
Aw! Here's a cute baby rabbit.
I know.
Look at its soft white fur.
What animal is the picture for this month?
A baby kangaroo!
Look! It's so small!
It is very small.
And cute!
Which one is your favorite animal?
I can't decide.
I like them all!
This calendar also has a picture of a baby tiger.
I like it!
Me, too!
Why did someone give you a calendar in May?
People usually give calendars in December or January.
Well, the calendar wasn't really a gift.
I don't understand.
I saw it in a store yesterday.
And I really wanted it!
I understand.
It was a gift from you... to you!
Hi, friends!
Hey, Susie.
Wow! Great clothes!
You're ready for the farm!
Yes! I'm going to be a farmer for the day!
You look great.
Why are you going to a farm?
I'm doing a report on local farmers.
That's fun.
Are you excited to see farm animals?
Of course!
And I can't wait to see all the baby animals!
What baby animals will you see?
I'll see baby horses.
I'm jealous! I love horses.
She'll see chicks and baby ducks, too . Right?
Yes, that's right.
I want to hold them!
Aww! Baby ducks are so soft and cute!
I know.
And they walk behind their mother.
That will be fun to see!
Will you see sheep today, Susie?
I'm not sure. Maybe.
Will you see cows or calves?
I'll see one calf.
One of the cows on the farm gave birth last week!
How cool!
Maybe the farmer will have a dog.
Maybe. A lot of farmers do.
And the farmer may have cats and kittens!
I'll find out!
I have another question, Susie.
Can I go with you to the farm?
I don't know.
You'll have to ask Carol!
What are you reading, Rob?
I'm reading a book about animals.
I'm learning some amazing things.
What are you reading about?
Baby animals.
Did you know that polar bears weigh only one or two pounds when they're born?
Really! Adult polar bears are really big!
You're right!
Some adult polar bears weigh 1,500 pounds!
Baby polar bears gain weight fast.
Yes. They'll weigh almost 100 pounds at eight months old.
What else did you read?
Guess how tall giraffes are at birth.
Hmm. Four feet tall.
No. They're six feet tall!
That's almost as tall as me!
I know!
Oh, here's something about blue whales.
Blue whales are the world's largest animals.
Right. Baby blue whales gain 200 pounds a day in their first year!
Two hundred pounds a day?
I'm happy I don't gain weight like that!
Me, too!
The world is full of amazing animals.
Some adult polar bears weigh 1,500 pounds.
But a baby polar bear weighs only one to two pounds when it's born.
When giraffes are born, they are already six feet tall.
That's taller than a lot of people!
Blue whales are the world's largest animals.
Baby blue whales have to gain a lot of weight to become so large.
So they gain 200 pounds a day during their first year!
Hey, hey, hey, I like those lessons.
Me, too.
I like fruit and the farm.
So Chris, I have a question for you.
What does Susie have in her bag?
Hmm, what dose Susie have in her bag?
Uh, she has a star fruit in her bag.
That's right.
You really are amazing!
I know.
And here's your question.
Why is Susie going to the farm?
Why is Susie going to the farm?
To do a report on local farmers.
That's right.
We answered the questions.
Yes, we are amazing.
Amazing.
Ask me another question.
Another question?
Yes. I'm amazing.
I can answer another one.
No, you can't.
We don't have time.
Oh, please! Please!
Ask me another question.
OK. OK.
Chris, what time is it?
Is it's time for a break?
Yes.
We'll be right back after this break.
That wasn't a real question!
I know.
