Hello, everybody . Welcome to Let's Talk in English here on this Saturday.
This is LTE TV.
And my name is Kevin.
Thank you for joining us today.
This week we learned how to talk about time.
What time is it right now?
Is it 10 o'clock?
Or is it five minutes till 8:00?
Do you wear a watch?
If not, what do you use to tell time?
I suggest you always know the time.
You do not want to be late to meetings.
We also learned about pets.
Do you like dogs?
I do.
Dogs should be trained.
Or else they will have bad habits.
Dogs also need attention because they are social animals.
When I had a dog, he needed lots of care.
I needed to be responsible with my pet.
All right, friends, let's go.
Let's learn with our conversations coming up right now.
Hey, Susie. What time is it?
I don't know.
I'm not wearing a watch.
Where's your cellphone?
Look at that.
My cellphone is in my desk.
Why can't you look at your cellphone?
I can't find it.
Where could it be?
Well, my phone might be at Stella's Restaurant.
I was there last night.
Call the restaurant and ask.
I can't. The restaurant isn't open.
It opens at 5 o'clock.
Oh. Well, there is a clock in Rob's office.
OK, I can check that.
Why do you need the time?
I have a lunch meeting with Carol at 11:45.
I can't be late.
I know. Carol is always on time.
What time is it now?
Is it after 11:00?
It's around 11:15, I think.
Go look at Rob's clock.
OK. Maybe I can see it from here.
Can you see the clock?
Yes, I can.
Uh-oh. It's five minutes after 12:00.
I'm late!
Hurry! Run to your meeting!
I'm going! Bye!
Hi, Carol. I'm here!
You were supposed to meet me at a quarter to 12.
You're almost half an hour late.
I know. I'm sorry.
I lost track of the time.
Why? Don't you wear a watch?
No. I use the clock on my cellphone.
But I don't have my cellphone with me today.
Why not?
I can't find it.
Well, you're here now.
Thanks for inviting me to lunch.
You're welcome.
And I need your help.
OK. How can I help?
What are you doing this evening?
Nothing. I don't have plans.
Can you take some visitors out to dinner?
Sure. Who are they?
They're people from a TV station in New York.
They will visit us this afternoon.
Oh, OK.
I'll introduce you to them when they get here.
Thanks.
Where do you want me to take them for dinner?
Where do you suggest?
I suggest eating at Stella's Restaurant.
It's very good.
What time do you want me to take them?
You can meet them at their hotel around 6:30.
That's fine.
But don't be late!
I won't be!
Hey, Susie. Do you have any pets?
Yes, Joe! I have a dog.
You do?
I want a pet. I think.
That's great! Get a dog!
Dogs are so much fun.
What kind of dog do you have?
I have a small poodle!
His name is Max.
Do you live in a house or an apartment?
I live in an apartment.
You're at work all day.
Does your dog feel bored in your apartment?
No. He sleeps a lot.
And sometimes I go home for lunch.
How often do you walk your dog?
I walk him in the morning and in the evening.
Then I get exercise, too.
Dogs are good for your health!
True. Both of you get a lot of exercise!
Dog owners aren't just healthy.
They're happy, too!
I'm sure. Dogs are fun.
Yes. Some days I feel sad, angry or upset.
So I play with my dog.
Then I feel better.
That's good.
My dog is not just my pet.
He's also a part of my family!
Many dog owners say that.
Well, it's true!
Hey, Joe. I didn't see you at lunchtime.
I went to a pet store to look at dogs.
Do you want a dog?
I think so.
Really? Dogs are a lot of work.
You have to feed them and clean up after them.
And you have to walk them and play with them.
I know. I want to walk a dog and play with it.
Do you know how to train a dog?
I could get an older dog.
Then he'd be trained.
Maybe.
But an older dog might have bad habits.
Then I'll get a puppy.
I can train him.
I have time.
Really? You're at work all day.
I can train the dog in the evenings and on weekends.
I can take my dog to puppy classes.
You'll also need to buy dog food.
And pay for visits to the vet, shots and other things.
I know. Dogs are expensive.
And I'll need to be responsible.
Who's getting a dog?
Oh, hi, Ken!
I'm thinking about it.
I'd like a dog, too.
But I can't have one.
Why not?
Our apartment building doesn't allow pets!
I forgot to tell you before you moved in!
Welcome to Let's Talk.
And now here's your host - Rob!
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Let's Talk.
Now how do you choose the right pet for you?
Well, today's guest will help us answer this question.
Please help me welcome Ms. Patty Pet.
Patty Pet, how do people choose the right pet?
They must consider their lifestyle.
If they're away from home all day, owning a dog isn't a good idea.
Because dogs are social?
Yes. They don't like to be alone.
Most cats can stay home alone longer than dogs.
I see.
What about a pet owner's home?
Large, active dogs need large homes with yards.
Active dogs need a place to run, don't they?
Yes. They need a place like a yard or a park.
Are birds good pets for busy people?
Birds make great pets, but not for busy people.
Birds need a lot of attention.
What about fish?
Fish are great pets for busy people!
But fish still need a lot of care.
Just like every pet!
Are you thinking about getting a pet?
Consider your lifestyle.
Are you often away from home?
Don't get a dog.
Dogs are social and need to be around people.
Most cats can be alone longer than dogs.
Birds are also social animals and need a lot of attention.
Active animals need a place to run, so consider your home, too.
Owning a pet is fun, but it's not always easy.
All pets need a lot of care!
Where did Chris go?
He said he would be here ten minutes ago.
I don't think my watch is wrong.
It's the same time as my cellphone.
Where is he?
Chris! Chris!
There you are.
Sorry I'm late.
I just woke up.
What? You... you just woke up?
You must have been sleeping a long time.
Well, no, not really.
I didn't sleep very well.
I went to bed during the evening.
But... I just could not sleep.
Why is that?
It sounds like you should have had a lot of sleep.
Well, I was very scared last night.
Scared? Why were you scared?
I was chased by a dog yesterday.
Oh, my gosh!
It was very scary.
But did the dog have an owner?
Yes, it did.
And the owner told me he was sorry.
Well, that owner needs to train his dog better.
Chris, I hope you are OK.
Friends, why don't we come back in a bit.
And hopefully Chris will feelbetter.
