Hey, thanks for coming back.
Today Nathan and I want to tell you a Key Word Story.
That's when we tell you a short story using all of today's key words.
I think it should be fun.
Are you ready, Nathan?
Yes, I am.
And I will start.
James was a little American boy who wanted to go see the world.
He wanted to go overseas.
But he had a few problems.
He didn't have much money available.
And he didn't have a passport.
But then, he met another boy from China at school.
They matched well and quickly became friends.
And Jimmy thought: I can't go to another country yet.
But at least I have a friend from another country.
That's good enough for now.
Oh, that's a pretty good story.
That was great.
I hope you heard all the key words.
But now it's time review today's conversations.
(Music).
Hello, and welcome to Let's Talk!
Do you like to travel?
Well, today our guest has some travel tips for all of you.
Please help me welcome Mr. Todd Traveler!
Welcome to our program, Todd.
Thank you, Rob.
What should people remember as they plan a trip?
First, plan three or more months ahead.
Then you have time to search for the best available travel deals.
Yes. Everyone wants to save money.
Check your travel dates.
They should match a good time to travel to your destination.
Yes. If you don't like cold, rainy weather, don't go to England in winter!
Right.
What else?
If you plan to travel overseas, check your passport.
For what?
To be sure it's valid for at least six months.
If it's not, you can't travel.
Check to see if you need a visa, too.
Good idea.
What else?
Learn about your destination.
Write down places you want to see and things you want to do.
Then make sure you have enough time!
That's right!

Yeah, yeah, let's plan a vacation.
All right.

Ooh, yeah, we're planning a vacation.

Oh.

(Chinese).
It really is a wonderful day.
Birds are singing.
Lovely weather.
Oh, I feel great!
Wendy, are you OK?
Did you hear about the radio station?
Yes. They need a new radio host.
Carl, they asked me to do it.
That's great!
It sounds like a terrific job.
Wow! You are so lucky.
But I'm nervous.
I don't like talking much.
And...
Well, if that's true...
I mean, when you don't know what...

Oh, what am I trying to say?
If you don't like talking, don't take the radio job.
Yes, that's it.
If you don't like talking, don't take the radio job.
That was a super sentence.
I am Super Sentence Man.
And the super sentence for today is:
If you don't like something, don't do something.
Carl, can you use this super sentence in another way?
Of course I can.
If you don't like animals, don't get a pet.
If you don't like animals, don't get a pet.
Very good!
What about you, Wendy?
If you don't like walking, don't move to that neighborhood.

A super sentence.
Now what super sentence do you need to use with Wendy?
Wendy, if you don't like talking, don't take the radio job.
But if I don't, who will?
Someone who likes talking.
But who actually enjoys talking?
I don't know, Wendy.
But I... I'm going to help you find someone.
We just need to...
