Well, hello. Welcome to Let's Talk in English here at LTE TV.
My name is Kevin.
Thank you for joining me this Saturday.
Now this week we talked about party food.
Do you like a lot of sauce with your food?
Be careful if you do, your fingers might get dirty.
We also talked about traveling during the winter.
Have you traveled anywhere during the winter?
Have you gone abroad?
Well, we're talking about these topics in our conversations coming up.
What are you reading in the newspaper, Ken?
I'm reading about the Super Bowl.
Oh, yes! The Super Bowl is on February 3.
That's right.
Where will you watch the game this year?
I don't know.
I may go to Players Restaurant.
They have a lot of TVs.
And the food is good.
I love their pork sandwiches.
I like the food at Players, too.
They have a lot of beef on the menu.
But the restaurant is always so crowded.
True.
Where will you watch the game?
At home.
Maybe I can have a Super Bowl party.
Good idea!
You can invite some people from the office.
Yes! What food can I have at the party?
Party food!
What kind of party food?
Well, people usually eat party food with their fingers.
You can have shrimp.
That's a good idea.
I like shrimp.
Popcorn is good for parties, too.
I love popcorn!
Chili is also a great party food.
And the weather is cold.
So people want hot food.
True. And I love chili.
Me, too!
Now I'm hungry!
Let's eat lunch.
Are you ready to order, Rob?
Well, I wanted chili, but now I'm not sure.
Why not? The chili here is really good.
It's nice and spicy!
I do like spicy chili.
But now I want a big bowl of hot noodles.
So order the beef noodles.
I will.
OK. And I'll get the chili.
I thought of another party food.
Wings! You can have wings at your Super Bowl party!
Yes! I love chicken wings.
I really like spicy ones.
Me, too.
And the spicy sauce on the wings will warm everyone up!
Wings are messy, though.
That's OK.
Everyone can just lick their fingers!
And I'll have lots of napkins.
Yes, napkins are necessary.
I'll have pizza at the party, too.
Good! Pizza is the most popular food on Super Bowl Sunday.
What kind of pizza should I get?
I would order two kinds.
Get one with meat and one with vegetables.
Good idea.
And I'll order large pizzas.
How many people are you going to invite to your party?
I'm not sure.
But I want to have lots of food!
Hi, Joe. Do you travel very often?
No, Susie.
Travel is expensive.
But I like it.
I'm doing a winter travel story.
I need some ideas.
Where can people go in the winter for fun?
To a beach!
The beach is nice and warm.
True. But I'm writing about winter places.
I want ideas for winter fun.
Well, people ski.
They go ice skating.
They have fun in the snow.
There are some great winter festivals, too.
Some people go to those.
I went to a festival in Canada last year.
It was fun.
But I didn't like the cold weather.
Then why did you go?
I don't know.
I can write about places here or abroad.
I can't decide.
Write about places abroad.
A lot of people go abroad.
That's true.
There are many fun winter places in other countries.
There are.
My favorite place in winter is Australia.
Really? Why?
Because our winter is Australia's summer!
So the weather isn't cold there!
Hi, Joe. What are you doing?
I'm reading about ski resorts, Rob.
Do you ski?
No, I don't.
Then why are you reading about ski resorts?
Susie is doing a story on winter travel.
I'm making a list of ideas for her.
That's nice.
I'm reading about other activities at ski resorts.
Are there other things to do besides ski?
Oh, yes!
So what else can you do?
Well, you can eat and shop.
There are great shops and restaurants at ski resorts.
They're expensive, too.
That's true.
If you don't ski, there are other things to do outside.
Like what?
You can snowshoe or go ice skating.
That might be fun.
And you can swim.
Some places have pools.
That's fun!
Would you like to do those things at a ski resort?
Sure!
I'll give this information to Susie.
That's great.
She can do a good report on those activities.
She can talk about winter festivals, too.
Good idea.
Susie can say a lot about winter travel.
I just have one thing to say about it.
I'd rather travel in summer!
Excuse me, may I ask you a question?
Sure. What?
Where would you like to travel in winter?
Hmm... that's a good question.
There are a lot of places I'd like to go.
Name one.
I'd like to go to the Sapporo Snow Festival.
That's one of Japan's biggest winter events.
Yes. People there create beautiful snow sculptures.
Those would be fun to see.
Excuse me!
Could you answer a question for me?
OK. What's the question?
Where would you like to travel in winter?
I'd like to fly to a warm place!
It's freezing here in winter!
So you don't like our cold climate?
No. I like warm weather.
And I don't ski or snowshoe.
So you wouldn't go to a place with snow?
No thank you!
Send me to a beach!
Many people love to travel.
They may travel any season of the year.
Some people like a warm climate, so they fly to a warm place in winter.
They want to get away from the cold and snow.
Other people enjoy ice and snow.
They like freezing weather.
Thousands of people travel to the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan.
It's one of Japan's biggest winter events.
At the festival, people create all kinds of beautiful snow sculptures.
People enjoy them a lot.
Well friends, are you ready for a question?
What special event will happen on February 3?
Well Chris, can you tell us?
Uh, the Super Bowl.
Yeah.
Touch down! Extra point! Good!
OK, OK, Kevin, I see you are really excited for the Super Bowl.
I sure am!
Are you going to have a Super Bowl party?
I am.
I have invited friends to watch it with me.
We are going to have a good time.
That's great.
How will you prepare for your party?
Oh, I am going to have a lot of food to eat.
I will have beef burgers, pizza, of course, popcorn.
No spicy wings?
No! I am a bird.
Why would I do that?
Sorry.
Wait. I thought you only eat fruit and nuts.
That's right.
The food is for my guests.
Ah, I see.
Oh, oh, my sister just sent pictures of her vacation!
Vacation?
Yeah, yeah...
Who travels during winter?
Plenty of people.
Remember our lessons?
There is a lot to do during the winter.
Oh, that's right!
There are festivals and other activities.
Right.
My sister just sent me pictures of her swimming with her friends.
Swimming?
But the climate is so cold!
Why is she swimming?
Well, many people like to visit hot springs during the winter.
The cold air, hot water are really special.
Well, I will never fly anywhere cold.
I like warm weather.
OK, Chris.
How about you, friends?
Do you like hot weather or cold weather?
Talk to your friends aboutit.
