Let's practice our key words today by playing Two in...
One.
Yes. Now this is the part of our show where we put two key words into one
sentence.
And today it's Kevin's turn.
All right, here we go.
This airplane seat is so comfortable.
I see.
This airplane seat is so comfortable.
You used the key words "airplane" and "seat." Good job, Kevin.
Uh, Kevin, you look a little too comfortable right now.
What? Oh.
I think it's... it's time to...
I'm sorry.
...to get up and keep going.
OK.
Because we are going to review today's conversations, OK? OK?
OK. All right.
Good.
Hi, Rob.
What are you doing?
I'm looking for an airplane ticket to Taiwan.
Are you still planning your trip?
Yes. The planes are pretty full.
Why?
Because a lot of people travel at Chinese New Year.
When is Chinese New Year?
It's February 10.
That's soon.
I know.
Do you travel a lot?
I don't travel too often.
Do you?
I fly to places three or four times a year.
Where do you go?
I visit friends in different cities around the country.
I don't fly much.
I usually drive.
I don't.
I don't like car trips.
I like planes.
Why do you like plane trips?
I usually get a window seat.
Then I can see everything.
I don't like window seats.
I can't move around the plane.
So you can't sit for hours on a plane.
No. I like car trips.
I can stop and walk around.
But you can't drive to Taiwan.
Too bad!
Ooh! Chinese New Year is coming.
Yes. So let's plan a trip.
Yeah, let's go to the jungle.
Hmm, planes are pretty full.
I don't think we can get airplane tickets.
Ooh, let's visit monkey friends in different cities.
Well, where do your monkey friends live?
All around the country.
Well, I love car trips.
We can drive!
Hooray! I can drive!
No. No, you can't.
But you said: We can drive.
I mean I can drive and you can ride.
Oh.

Let's Answer It!
Here's question number one.
How often does Megan travel?
How often does Megan travel?
Hmm, I think the answer is in Conversation B.
She flies to places three or four times a year.
All right, question two.
Do you travel at Chinese New Year? Where do you go?
Do you travel at Chinese New Year? Where do you go?
Let's ask some of our friends.
Chinese New Year?
I wish I could travel during Chinese New Year.
But I can't.
Chinese New Year is not a holiday in America.
So if I want to travel, I will need to take some days off.
But I don't have enough days to travel.
So I will stay home.
Next year, maybe I will make plans to travel during Chinese New Year.
That would be fun.
Do I travel at Chinese New Year?
Of course I do.
I travel to work.
And then I work.
And then I travel back home.
But sometimes if I'm lucky, maybe I can travel to Chinatown and interview some
people to find out more about this wonderful holiday.
I might have to work, but I still love Chinese New Year.
It's a great holiday.
Chinese New Year?
I don't really travel on Chinese New Year.
In America, we have a different New Year on January 1.
Sometimes I go places on January 1.
A few years ago, I went to New York City.
They have a lot of special events there for New Years.
Maybe if you get the chance, you can go, too.
My family and I love to travel during Chinese New Year because we can visit many
places in Asia, and go to all the tourist sights without waiting.
We don't have to stand in line.
And it's comfortable, not too many people.
And I get a good deal when I'm shopping for something there.
That's the best time for me - Chinese New Year.
Well, those were some great answers.
Be sure to practice asking and answering these questions today.
And then join us again tomorrow.
We'll be here on...
Let's Talk in English. Goodbye, everyone.
