It's time to play a game that we like to call: I Know It!
I Know It!
Do you know it?
I will talk about one of our key words.
When you know which word I'm talking about, say, "I know it!" Now this key word
is exciting.
If you go on one of these, you will learn new things, you will see new things.
Your life will change because of...
I know it!
I know it!
You're talking about an adventure.
Yes! Adventure.
That's our key word.
And learning English is an adventure.
We get to keep learning now by reviewing our lessons.
Here we go.
Hey, Megan, what are you reading?
Megan?
What? I'm sorry, what did you say?
I asked you what you were reading.
I'm reading The Hobbit.
It's a great novel!
Have you read it?
No, but I saw the movie last December.
I did, too.
But it was just the first movie.
There will be another one this December.
And a third one in the summer of 2014.
I plan to see them all!
Have you read The Hobbit, Carol?
No. It's too long.
I don't really like to read long books.
But it's such a great story!
A hobbit named Bilbo enjoys a comfortable life until Gandalf the wizard comes.
Then he takes Bilbo on an adventure.
And what an adventure!
Are there more details in the book than in the movie?
Yes, there are!
And I love the way the author writes.
So you saw the movie, too?
Yes. That's why I'm reading the book.
I want to know more about the story.
I'd like to know how the story ends.
Does Bilbo find the treasure?
If you want to know, you'll have to read the book.
Or you can wait more than a year to see the other movies.
It will be faster to just read the book - even for me!
Hey, what are you doing?
Shh. Please be quiet.
I'm reading a book.
Oh. What's the book about?
It's about 200 pages.
Very funny.
Yeah, the book is about a monkey man.
Oh, the monkey man from the jungle?
Yes. And the monkey man finds something very, very special.
I know! I know!
Well, what does the monkey man find?
The monkey man finds a monkey!
That's right.
And the monkey is really cute and smart, like me.
Right again.
And the monkey loves bananas, like me.
Yes.
Ginger, did you read this book?
No. I saw the movie.
Ah. The movie was pretty good.
Hello.
(Chinese).
Hello, I am Super Sentence Man.
And it is good for me to be here today.
In today's lesson you heard Carol say:
I'd like to know how the story ends.
Well, the super sentence for today is:
I'd like to know how to do something.
Like this:
I'd like to know how you bake this cake.
I'd like to know how this place got its name.
I'd like to know how you do that dance.
I'd like to know when...
You could also say that.

I'd like to know how you got here.

I'd like to know how water turns into steam.
Well, what is behind me?
A big fire truck.
I'd like to know how that truck got there.
I'd also like to know how to drive that truck.
It looks pretty difficult.
Well, now it is your turn.
I'd like to know how you will use this super sentence.
I'd like to know how you can share it with your family and your friends.
Remember, a super sentence every day will make your English great.
