So Chris, did you do anything interesting on Valentine's Day?
Hmm... Well, I don't have a girlfriend.
But two of my friends got married.
Really? That's nice.
How do you know the couple?
We were friends in high school.
I am really happy for them.
Well, did you buy them any gifts, like flowers or roses?
Well, I bought them some things they could use at home.
I bought them hair brushes and a hair comb.
Really?
Do you think they would like to receive brushes and combs for gifts?
I would think they would like a lamp for a gift.
Well, maybe.
They're both hairstylists.
I bought them really good combs and brushes.
Oh. I did not know that.
Chris, you have some interesting friends.
Well friends, why don't we watch some of our interesting and fun features?
It is almost Chinese New Year.
And that means it's time to be with your family and eat good food.
There are many traditions during Chinese New Year.
So let me introduce a new tradition.
Come and eat at Little Fat Man's Restaurant.
Yes, we are open during Chinese New Year, and welcome all people to come and eat
our delicious food.

There will be Chinese music and decorations, too.

I'm just kidding.
It's not free.
But it will be half price.

Happy Year of the Snake!
Come to the Little Fat Man Restaurant and make a reservation today.

eREPORT.
Hi, everyone.
This is Anna for eREPORT.
It's dinnertime here at our house.
Our family loves to eat together.
When you eat, it's important to be polite and have good table manners.
We're trying to teach our children good table manners.
Let's learn them.
When you come to the table, sit down and wait for everyone to come.
Don't eat anything yet.
You have to wait.
When everyone is at the table, then you can start the meal.
Some people pray before they eat.
Everyone at the table listens quietly to the prayer.
Then it's time to eat.
Put your napkin in your lap.
Do not reach across the table.
Ask someone to pass something to you.
People pass the food around the table.
Take some food when it is passed to you.
It is polite to keep your elbows off the table.
When you eat, use your knife, fork and spoon.
That is polite.
People talk during meals.
But don't talk with your mouth full!
When you are finished eating, put your napkin next to your plate.
Then put your knife, fork and spoon on your plate.
When everyone is finished, you can help take the dishes to the kitchen.
That is polite, too.
Good table manners are important.
It's important to be polite.
But it's not always easy to remember our table manners.
We often remind our girls not to talk with their mouth full or put their elbows
on the table.
And we always want them to say "please" and "thank you." Thanks for learning
about table manners today.
This is Anna for eREPORT doing the dishes.
Hello, I am Super Sentence Man.
And I was looking for you.
Today you heard Rob say:
And what if someone received an invitation but can't go to the wedding?
Today's super sentence is:
What if someone something but can't something else?
Like this:
What if someone can play the guitar but can't sing?
What if someone catches a cold... but can't take time off to rest?
What if someone wants to attend the party but can't arrive on time?
What if...
What if someone wants to make money but can't find a job?
What if someone joins the club but can't come to every meeting?
What if someone is tired but can't take a break?
Or, what if someone is angry but can't say a word?
What if someone has a map but can't read it?
What if someone can read English but can't speak it?
Well, then maybe they need to pay attention to time with Super Sentence Man
every day.
Now it is your turn.
Think of your own way to use this super sentence.
And always remember, a super sentence every day will make your English great!
And now I am on my way.
