Hi, everyone, and welcome to Let's Talk in English.
We're happy you're here.
My name is Andrea.
And today we have a new lesson just for you.
We're going to talk about Health.
Now I hope you're feeling well today.
But sometimes you might feel sick.
The title of our lesson is: I Have a Cold.
So we'll be talking about colds and some other things you might need to say when
you are not feeling well.
Well Kevin, are you feeling well today?
I am feeling quite well.
Hello, everybody.
My name is Kevin.
Now let's begin with our Let's Begin reading.
Megan has a cold.
Her throat is sore.
She has a runny nose.
But she can't go home.
She is too busy.
Carol needs her help.
Ken gives her some cold medicine.
Megan takes it.
And she wants some chicken soup.
Ken wants some, too.
Good job.
Now let's begin with Conversation A.
Hi, Megan. How are you?
Not very good, Ken.
I have a cold.
That's not good.
I know. My throat really hurts.
Can you go home and rest?
No, I can't.
I'm really busy today.
Do you have any cold medicine?
No, I don't.
I do. I can give you some.
Oh, poor Megan.
We find out that she is not feeling well today, and she is very busy.
She tells us that she's very busy.
She says, "I'm really busy today." Now what does that mean, Kevin?
Well, that means she has a lot of work to do.
And she can't go home to rest.
Oh, that's too bad.
Megan has a cold.
Now when I have a cold, I just want to go home and rest.
I want to sleep.
But for now I want to talk about our key word.
It is "cold." Now... Excuse me.
Are you OK?
I'm OK. I don't think I have a cold.
I hope not.
But when someone has a cold, they often cough.
Maybe they don't feel well.
When you have a cold, you are sick.
Yeah, it's not very nice to have a cold.
Lots of bad things happen.
The main thing for me is I'm always tired.
Me, too.
And some people, when they have a cold, their throat really hurts.
Well, let's talk about our key word here.
It is "throat." Now your throat is part of your body.
Your throat is in front or at the front of your neck.
It's between your head and your shoulders.
Now when you have a cold, your throat might hurt.
My throat often hurts if I talk a lot.
When my throat hurts, I try to drink some water.
Now Kevin, you're a singer.
Does your throat sometimes hurt when you sing?
If I sing too much or if I sing too hard, yes, my throat can hurt.
And that's not good.
That's not good.
Now if someone tells you something that is not good news, then you can say,
"That's not good." It's a way to show that you are listening and that you care.
Hey, Kevin, today I forgot my keys.
I don't know how I'm going to get into my house after work.
That's not good.
No, that's not good.
Oh, I'll just call my husband.
What about you?
Well, yesterday I fell and I... and I hurt my leg.
Oh, Kevin, that's not good.
No, it's not.
Well, maybe you can use this phrase today.
That's not good.
It's a way to show that you care when someone tells you some news that's not so
good.
Well, Megan's news is not good.
But we can keep learning about this in Conversation B.
Can the medicine help my sore throat and runny nose?
Yes. It helps me.
And you don't feel sleepy?
No, I don't.
Good. I can't be sleepy.
I am too busy!
Carol really needs my help today!
But she doesn't need your cold.
She could catch it from you.
I know. But I can't go home!
Oh, man.
Megan does not look like she is in good health.
One thing she says is she has a sore throat and runny nose.
Well, that brings us to our next key word.
And that is: sore.
sore.
When something is sore, there's a little bit of pain.
So when you have a sore throat, there's some pain in your throat.
Andrea, what else can be sore?
Well, other parts of your body can be sore.
When I exercise a lot, sometimes my legs are sore the next day, or my arms are
sore.
So you can say that something is sore or that something hurts.
Megan's throat is sore.
Or her throat hurts.
Now Kevin, are you sore today?
Is anything in your body sore?
I'm... I'm feeling fine.
Oh, no, my leg's a little sore.
Remember when I said I fell yesterday?
Yeah, it's a little sore.
OK. Well, I hope you feel better soon, Kevin.
Thanks.
It's not nice to be sore.
When you're sore, you're just not comfortable.
Yeah, it's not very good.
And Megan also has a runny nose.
That means something is coming out when it really shouldn't be.
So we can also have other runny things.
Like when you're eating a hamburger and the cheese is coming out, you have some
runny cheese.
Yes. Sometimes I get runny eggs at a restaurant.
I don't like my eggs runny.
I don't want them to look like they're moving away.
I like hard eggs, not runny eggs.
And if your nose is runny, it's not very comfortable.
Sometimes your nose might be runny and sore.
So make sure you have some tissues if you have a runny nose.
Well, Ken does not want a runny nose.
So he does not want to catch a cold.
He doesn't want to have a cold.
We say "catch a cold" to say you have a cold.
So that concludes Conversation B.
Let's move on to Conversation C.
Here is the medicine.
Thank you.
I can take some now.
Then I can feel better.
Eat some chicken soup, too.
That always helps me.
Good idea!
I can have some for lunch.
Maybe I can have some chicken soup, too.
Why? Are you sick, too?
No. I really like chicken soup.
Well, Ken comes back in Conversation C and gives Megan some medicine.
We know that he has some cold medicine that she can use.
Now medicine is supposed to help you when you're sick, right, Kevin?
Yes, medicine is something you take.
So if you are sick, someone will ask you: Did you take some medicine?
Right. Or maybe you go to the doctor, and the... doctor gives you some medicine.
Medicine should help you feel better.
And yes, it's true. You "take" medicine.
Let's talk about this key word.
take.
Now when you take medicine, you are putting it in your body.
You are using it.
Now remember that you "take" medicine; you do not "eat" medicine.
Keep practicing that.
We hope you don't have to take a lot of medicine.
But remember that you take it.
That's right.
Sometimes you can even put on medicine.
But when you are putting it in your body, you say: I take medicine.
That's right.
Well, one thing to do to help you when you're sick is to take some medicine.
You can also eat some soup.
We often think of chicken soup when it comes to having a cold.
Let's look at this key word.
It is "soup." Now I like soup.
Kevin, do you like soup?
I love soup.
I love chicken soup.
I love chicken noodle soup.
I love all kinds of soup.
So soup is something that you can enjoy.
It's usually hot.
And we eat soup out of a bowl.
And there are many different kinds of soup.
We talked about chicken soup.
I also really like vegetable soup - a bowl of soup with many different kinds of
vegetables in it.
And I eat it with a spoon.
What kind of soup do you like, Kevin?
My favorite kind of soup is beef noodle soup.
I love the dark brown soup.
It tastes so good.
I'm really hungry.
Oh, I'm getting hungry, too.
And I also really like beef noodle soup.
I really like...
When you want to talk about things you like, use this phrase.
I really like soup.
I really like cheese.
Or I really like English.
That's right.
I really like music.
I really like watching movies.
There are a lot of things that I really like.
And I really like practicing our key words.

Well, let's practice them together.
