Welcome, friends.
Thank you for coming to see us again here on LTE TV for Let's Talk in English.
My name is Nathan.
Today's topic is new because today we are going to talk about FOOD.
And the title of our lesson is Fresh Fruit.
Fresh Fruit.
I like fruit.
Katie, do you like fruit, too?
Yes, I love fruit.
Eating fruit is one of the best ways to stay healthy.
Hi, everyone. My name is Katie.
And we are really glad to have you back here today.
But now it's time to get ready for today's lesson.
So find that in your magazine, and read along with the Let's Begin reading right
now.
Let's Begin.
Ken is eating a banana for breakfast.
But he likes apples and grapes more.
Susie likes grapes, too.
She also likes oranges.
Ken and Susie both like peaches.
Then Susie talks about a new fruit.
She lets Ken try it.
What is it?
It's a star fruit!
That was great.
Now let's learn more about fresh fruits in Conversation A.
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.
Wasn't that interesting?
In Conversation A, we see Susie and Ken talking about what Ken ate that morning
for breakfast.
Katie, do you know what Ken ate for breakfast?
Yes. Our conversation says that he ate a banana.
He also says that he usually eats a banana for breakfast.
Now if you usually do something, it means that you do it most days.
So Nathan, what do you usually eat for breakfast?
Well, I usually eat cereal for breakfast.
But sometimes I do eat fruit, like Ken.
Ken is eating a banana.
And that's our first key word today.
banana.
banana.
Have you ever had a banana?
A banana is a long, yellow fruit with a thick skin.
Now you don't eat the skin.
You just eat the fruit that's inside.
That's right.
And we all know that monkeys really like to eat bananas.
Lots of people eat bananas with breakfast because they give you lots of energy.
That's true.
Later in the conversation, Susie asks Ken if bananas are his favorite fruit.
And he says that he likes them.
Katie, what does he say are his two favorite fruits, though?
Well, Ken says his two favorite fruits are apples and grapes.
Thanks. And that is right.
Ken likes apples and grapes more than he likes bananas.
Now don't forget, you could also say Ken likes apples and grapes better than he
likes bananas.
And there's our next key word.
grape.
grapes.
A grape is a small, round fruit, maybe about an inch long.
And there are two kinds of grapes: red and green.
These are green grapes.
That's right.
Red and green grapes both taste good.
Some people think they taste different.
Do you like red grapes or green grapes better?
Susie says she likes grapes a lot.
She also says she likes oranges.
And there's the last key word of this conversation.
orange.
orange.
An orange is a fruit that is usually about the size of a baseball.
They are very healthy because they have a lot of vitamin C.
That's right.
You should eat an orange when you're sick because the vitamin C can help you
feel better.
I always eat them when I am sick.
So now let's find out more about fresh fruits in Conversation B.
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.
Welcome back.
In Conversation B, we still see Susie and Ken.
Susie says grapes are sometimes sour.
This means the grapes are not sweet.
But later, Ken asks Susie what kind... what other kind of fruits she likes.
Let's look at the word "fruits" here.
If we say "fruits," we are talking about different kinds of fruits, like
bananas, grapes or oranges.
But you do not say: Do you like to eat fruits?
Right. You would say, "Do you like to eat fruit?" So Katie, do you like to eat
fruit?
Yes. I... I said that earlier.
So let's look at this sentence again.
What other kinds of fruits do you like?
We could also ask: What other kinds of foods do you like to eat?
Or I could say: What other kinds of music do you like to listen to?
What other kinds of movies do you watch?
In the conversation, Susie said she also likes peaches.
Peaches are a great fruit to eat.
And that is our first key word.
peach.
peach.
A peach is yellow and red.
When you touch a peach, it feels soft or even fuzzy.
Right.
Now let's try to use this word in a sentence.
I had peaches with my breakfast this morning.
Good.
Or, peaches are good with sugar on top.
Susie says she likes to eat peaches with yogurt.
Now let's look at that word "yogurt." Yogurt is made from milk.
So some yogurt you eat with a spoon.
That's right.
People love to eat yogurt because it is healthy.
And there are many different flavors.
And you can put lots of things in yogurt.
But now it is time to move on to Conversation C.
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!
In Conversation C, Susie and Ken continue to talk about fruit and compare the
different kinds.
Susie tells Ken that she tried a new fruit yesterday that was strange but
delicious.
Katie, what fruit did Susie try?
Well, Susie says that she tried a star fruit.
She even shows Ken what a star fruit looks like.
That's great.
And that's a key word today.
star fruit.
star fruit.
A star fruit is an interesting fruit.
It is actually a little sour.
Now why is it called a star fruit?
Well, when you cut the fruit into pieces, they look like stars.
They're the shape of stars.
That's right.
Star fruits also come in different colors.
They can be yellow, orange or green.
And they're usually found in Asia.
Nathan, do you like star fruit?
Well, I do think they are kind of sour.
I don't like them that much.
Susie says she tried a new fruit.
And now if you try something, like a food, it means you eat it to see if you
like it.
Right. I try a lot of different foods now that I live in Asia.
Some of them I like, and some I don't like.
Are there any other ways to use this phrase, Nathan?
Yes. You could say: I tried a new restaurant last night.
And that means I went to the restaurant for the first time.
And I didn't know if I would like it.
Right. So Susie and Ken call star fruit "strange." If something is strange, this
means it's a little weird.
Star fruit is strange to some people because they don't see it a lot.
And Susie also says star fruit is delicious.
OK. And now I think it's time to look back at our key words for today.
banana.
banana.
Bananas are yellow.
grape.
grape.
Ruth is eating green grapes.
orange.
orange.
I eat oranges in the winter.
peach.
peach.
Peaches are soft and sweet.
star fruit.
star fruit.
Star fruit is yellow, orange or green.
Good job, everyone.
I hope you have enjoyed our lesson about fresh fruit so far, and that you
learned about more fruits.
We will be rightback.
