It's time to play a game that we like to call: I Know It!
I Know It!
Do you know it?
Today it's my turn to talk about one of our key words.
When you know which word I'm talking about, please say...
I know it!
Nathan, are you ready?
I'm ready.
OK.
This is a place that we call home.
Today is a special day to think about how we can keep this place clean and
healthy.
I know it! I know it!
Um, are you sure you know it, Nathan?
Well, yes.
You're... you're talking about Earth, right?
Yes. Earth is our home.
And today is Earth Day.
Happy Earth Day.
We should take care of the Earth and our environment.
That's a great idea.
Let's think about that and be green.
Now let's review today's conversations.
Happy Earth Day, Joe!
Oh, hi, Susie! Happy Earth Day.
Are you going to the LTE TV Earth Day event later today?
Yes. We can help clean up our neighborhood.
I'm glad.
Me, too.
So what are you reading?
I'm reading about a green house.
A green house?
That house isn't green. It's blue.
No. The house isn't the color green.
It's good for the environment.
I know.
So how is this house green?
It makes its own power.
Oh, really?
How does it do that?
It uses energy from the wind and the sun.
Really? That's fantastic.
The house also saves water.
That's interesting.
How?
The house collects rainwater.
Then people can use this water in the house.
Wow. This house really is great for the environment.
And it is also great for people's wallets.
Why?
People can save money on their bills!
Hello, Monkey Man.
Hello, Ginger.
Today is a special day.
Really? What day is it?
It's Earth Day.
Is Earth Day my birthday?
No.
It's a day when we think about the Earth!
Hmm... big, round, green, blue.
Ginger, what are you doing?
I am thinking about the Earth.
No, no, no...
We think about ways to help the Earth.
Like what?
Well, for example, we can clean up our neighborhood.
Ooh, yeah, that's a good one.
And we can use energy from the sun and the wind.
Will that help the Earth?
Yes. It's good for the environment and our wallets.
Oh, hooray!
We'll have extra money to buy bananas!
Well...
Hello.
(Chinese).
Calendar Phrase.
That's fantastic.
That's fantastic.
(Chinese).
Today is my birthday.
That's fantastic.
I'm having a party.
That's fantastic.
And you are invited.
That's fantastic.
Will you give me a gift?
What kind of gift?
Something fantastic.
That's fantastic.
That's fantastic.
(Chinese).
Let's practice some of what we learned today with our Answer It questions.
Here is question number one.
What is Joe reading about?
What is Joe reading about?
We found the answer in Conversation A.
Joe is reading about a green house.
Now here's question number two.
Are green houses good? Why or why not?
Are green houses good? Why or why not?
Now let's hear what our friends have to say.
Are green houses good? Why or why not?
Yes, I think that green houses are great.
I used to watch a TV show that showed different green houses from around the
world.
And they are all built in a very special way.
I would love to live in a green house.
Well, I think they're great.
They look good.
And you save money.
Do I like green houses?
Yes, I like blue houses, yellow houses, red houses...
Oh, greenhouses.
Yeah. Uh, greenhouses are great.
You can have plants and vegetables.
You can grow things in these houses when it is cold outside.
When it is snowing, things can grow inside greenhouses and stay warm.
I love greenhouses.
They're good for everyone - animals, plants, people.
Do I like green houses?
Yes. Green houses save energy.
And when you save energy, you save money.
Think about how much energy a normal house uses to turn on lights, keep it cool
in the summer and warm in the winter, to wash your clothes.
All of that uses energy.
That costs money.
It's great to have a green house and save money.
I wish I had a green house.
Are green houses good?
Yes, green houses are good.
Anything that is green is good for our environment.
Green houses are very good for our environment because they have different
things that help people to protect the environment.
So green houses are very, very good.
What else is good?
Taking care of the Earth is very good.
What do you think?
Are green houses good?
Great job!
Tomorrow we will continue to talk about Earth Day and how you can be good to our
Earth.
So we'll see you here tomorrow on...
Let's Talk in English.
Bye-bye.
