Now it's time to play a game that we like to call: I Know It!
I Know It!
Do you...
Do you...
Know it?
OK, I'm going to talk about one of our key words.
When you know the word, say, "I know it!" Now this is something that you use to
help you remember important dates.
You can put birthdays on this.
I don't know.
And special meetings.
Maybe you write in holidays.
Oh! I know it! I know it!
Is it a calendar?
Kevin, you've got it.
Whoo!
Yes, Kevin knew it.
All right.
And I'm sure you knew it as well.
Now let's review today's lesson from the beginning.
Hi, Ken!
When is your birthday?
Is it in April?
No. My birthday is July 9.
Oh, OK.
Why are you asking about my birthday?
I am putting your birthday in my calendar.
Good. Then you can remember my birthday.
Did I forget your birthday last year?
Yes, you did.
I'm sorry.
No problem.
What other dates can I put in my calendar?
Doesn't your calendar already have dates?
Yes. It has months and days.
And it has most holidays.
But it doesn't have your friends' birthdays.
Right. And those dates are important, too.
They are.
What about the TV station's annual meeting?
Yes. I can put that in my calendar.
When is the annual meeting?
It's at the beginning of September.
Really? Last year, the meeting was at the end of August.
I can ask Carol about it.
How about Doughnut Day?
What?
Doughnut Day is on the first Friday in June.
Really? I love doughnuts.
Many stores give away doughnuts on Doughnut Day.
I'm putting that in my calendar!
Hello, Monkey Man.
Oh hey, Ginger.
Monkey Man, what are you doing?
Oh, sorry.
I was putting things in my calendar.
Really? What about January 15?
Uh, what about January 15?
That's my birthday.
Put that in your calendar, please.
Good idea.
Yeah. Then you won't forget my birthday is next week.
Next week?
Oh, your birthday is coming soon.
Yeah. I want a party and gifts and balloons and bananas.
Wait a minute, Ginger.
You had a birthday last month.
Yeah, I have a birthday every month.
Put that in your calendar.
January 15. February 15. March 15.
Uh, Ginger, you only get one birthday every year.
April 15. May 15.
Come on!
Hello.
(Chinese).
Calendar Phrase.
I'll put it in my calendar.
I'll put it in my calendar.
(Chinese).
Did you hear about the big meeting?
When? I'll put it in my calendar.
This week.
Oh. What day?
I'll put it in my calendar.
Today.
Oh. What time?
I'll put it in my calendar.
It was this morning.
You missed it.
Oh. Then I won't put it in my calendar.
I'll put it in my calendar.
I'll put it in my calendar.
(Chinese).
Let's review some of what we learned with our Answer It questions.
Here is number one.
When is Ken's birthday?
When is Ken's birthday?
Kevin?
Well, we already answered this question earlier, so you should know.
The answer is in Conversation A.
Ken's birthday is July 9.
Now let's ask our second question.
What important dates are in your calendar?
What important dates are in your calendar?
Let's ask some of our friends.
What important dates are in my calendar?
Well, let's take a look.
Oh, this Saturday I go to the doctor.
The appointment is for my dog.
Oh, and next year, there's an anniversary.
Let's Talk programs are one-year-old!
Oh, here's a very special birthday - my mom's.
She'll be 100 years old.
The day is August, 2025.
I like to plan ahead.
What important dates are in my calendar?
Well, I always write down my dad's birthday, my mom's birthday, and my sister's
birthday.
I also like to write down important dates from work, like meetings and holidays.
I never forget to write down my vacation dates.
Those are extra important.
I need to plan ahead for them.
And that's what I like to write in my calendar.
Important dates?
No, I don't have any important dates in my calendar.
I have them all here in my head.
Well, actually, no, I'm wrong.
I do have two important dates in my calendar.
The first is in July.
July 9.
That is my birthday.
And in my birthday, I get presents.
The second important date in my calendar is Christmas.
And that is the day I celebrate Jesus, and I get presents, too.
You know what dates I have on my calendar?
The most important dates for me are meetings.
I have a lot of meetings with people that I sell ad space to.
And if I didn't have my smartphone calendar, I would not know when they were or
where to go.
So this is the most important thing on my calendar.
But I also like to remember friends' birthdays.
And that's another important thing.
Well, those are some great answers.
Andrea, what important dates are in your calendar?
What important dates?
Well, my friends' birthdays are in my calendar.
I also put holidays in my calendar.
And vacation time, that's important.
Yes, it is.
That is also in my calendar.
Well, thank you so much for joining us today.
We learned some important things, didn't we?
And we have more to learn tomorrow.
We'll see then right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
