Let's Talk in English.
Hi, everyone.
Welcome to LTE TV.
My name is Andrea.
And my name is Gabe.
Now, what's the matter?
What's... What's the matter?
Well, nothing is the matter.
There are no problems here today.
But if you think that there is a problem, you can ask this question.
What's the matter?
Well, are you experiencing some problems?
Do you feel uncomfortable?
Maybe you have a headache and you need to rest.
Maybe you need to lie down or take some medicine.
What's the matter?
Well friends, we do have a lot to learn today.
So open up your magazine and let's begin.
Hi, Amber.
Hi, Lily.
Are you OK?
No. I don't feel good.
What's the matter?
I have a headache.
I'm sorry. Do you often get headaches?
No, I don't.
Can you go home?
No. I have a meeting with Carol in 30 minutes.
And I have other work.
I can't see! I can't see! I can't see!
Gabe, Gabe, what's the matter?
I have my eyes closed.
Uh, Gabe, maybe you want to open your eyes.
OK, they're... they're open now.
Nothing is the matter.
But Andrea, I'm very glad that you asked me, "What's the matter?" It shows that
you cared.
Yes. I... I did care.
And this is a phrase we use when you care about someone.
If something is wrong, or it looks like something is wrong, you can say "What's
the matter?" What's the matter?
Is there a problem?
Is there a problem?
What's the matter?
Are you OK?
These phrases kind of mean the same thing.
What's the matter?
Well, nothing is the matter right now.
We need to talk about this key word.
matter.
You use this word in that question: What's the matter?
And if nothing is wrong, then you can say, "Nothing." Nothing is the matter.
I'm OK.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Well, what's the matter with Amber?
We find out that Amber has a headache.
Oh, it's not good to have a headache.
But it is good to talk about this key word.
The key word is: headache.
headache.
Do you have a headache right now?
I hope not.
If you have a headache, that means your head hurts... some part of your head -
maybe the front, maybe the back, maybe the whole thing.
That's called a headache.
The word "ache," A-C-H-E, means pain.
So a headache is when your head has pain or it hurts.
Well, Lily has another question.
She says, "Do you often get headaches?" That means do you get them a lot?
It's not good to have a headache.
But some people do get them often or get them a lot.
And you can use this question in other ways.
Do you often get...?
Do you often get back pain?
Do you often get earaches?
Oh, no.
Do you often get headaches?
I hope not.
Sometimes I get headaches when I'm sleeping.
And the headaches wake me up, Andrea.
Ooh, I'm sorry.
But Gabe, if you have a headache and it wakes you up, you should drink lots of
water.
Well, you're right about that.
I should drink lots of water.
Friends, right now it's time for us to continue with Conversation B.
We hope you are feeling better.
But your head hurts.
You can't do your work well.
I know. My head hurts so much!
I can't even think!
What do you usually do for a headache?
I usually take some medicine.
Did you already take some?
No. I don't have any medicine at the office.
I don't have any here, either.
Maybe someone else has some.
Gabe, I don't have anything to talk about.
Oh. Well Andrea, that's great.
I don't have anything to talk about, either.
Maybe someone else does.
Hey, someone else! Some... someone else?
No, no, Gabe, Gabe, I was... I was just kidding.
We have things to talk about.
Oh, we do?
Including this phrase: I don't have any something.
Let's use it in another way.
I don't have any food for lunch.
I don't have any food, either, Andrea.
I'm kind of hungry.
Well, Amber says that she doesn't have any medicine at the office.
And Lily says that she doesn't have any medicine at the office, either.
Well, let's take a look at our key word together here.
It is: medicine.
Now medicine is something that you take when you are not feeling well.
When your body has a problem, and medicine should help you feel better again.
Some people take medicine when they're feeling bad about something.
Maybe they have an ache or a pain.
And so they take medicine one time.
Some people have problems all the time.
They need to keep taking medicine.
I hear some people say, "I need to take my meds now." M-E-D-S.
That means the same thing.
But the real word, the good word to remember is "medicine." And you should take
your medicine.
It's very important.
Yes. It's also very important to remember that you take, T-A-K-E, you take
medicine.
You don't "eat" medicine, do you, Gabe?
No. You put it in your mouth, just like food, but that's called "taking"
medicine.
Are you taking medicine right now?
Well, right now we are going to continue learning with Conversation C.
I can just rest here for a few minutes.
You can lie down in Carol's office!
She has a sofa there.
I can't lie down in Carol's office.
She's my boss!
And she is a very nice boss.
Let's go ask Carol.
Then I can ask other people about the medicine.
Thanks, Lily.
Well, I'm sure that Carol is a very nice boss.
Maybe Amber can rest in her office on the sofa.
Maybe she can lie down for a few minutes.
Friends, we do have some key words here.
The first one is: rest.
rest.
When you rest, that means you are taking a break.
Your body is not working.
You are resting.
You can relax.
And it is important to rest.
It's important to take some time to rest every day.
Now I know everyone is busy.
But you need to find time to rest.
My dad rests for an hour every day after lunch.
Interesting.
So "rest" could also mean sleep.
If you take a nap, that is resting.
But if you're resting, does it always mean you are sleeping?
No, it doesn't always mean you are sleeping.
Sometimes when you rest, you sleep.
Sometimes when you rest, you just lie down.
Or some people just rest by stopping what they are working on and doing
something else.
That's also a way to rest.
Well Andrea, you said something very important.
Sometimes when you rest, you lie down.
That's my favorite way to rest.
Really?
Yes, it is.
And friends, this is a good key word.
It's two words.
lie down.
When you lie down, you're not sitting, you're not standing or walking around.
Your body is flat.
You're on a bed or a sofa.
You're lying down.
Hmm, it is nice to lie down.
It's a great way to rest, especially when you have a headache.
When you have pain in your head, the pain often goes away a bit when you lie
down.
Now what are some other reasons you lie down?
Well, maybe you are taking a vacation on the beach.
You can lie down on the beach and enjoy the sun.
Oh, that is a great idea.
I want to lie down on the beach.
Where else can you lie down?
Well, of course at night, you lie down on your bed to go to sleep.
Now if you are working, you shouldn't be lying down.
But of course, Amber doesn't feel well.
She needs to rest.
She can lie down for a few minutes.
I'm sure Carol won't mind.
Right now it's time for us to continue learning with Ginger and the Monkey Man.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
What's the matter, Ginger?
Ouch! My head hurts.
Oh, your head hurts?
No, just kidding.
W're talking about headaches.
Ginger! Do you often get headaches?
Not often, but sometimes.
Well, when do you get a headache?
When my head hurts.
Of course. Well, that's what a headache is.
When do you get a headache?
I get a headache when it's too noisy.
Ooh, like this?
Yes. Yes. Please be quiet.
Our lesson is about headaches.
I can give you one.
Oh! Please, please don't, OK?
Ginger! You're giving me a headache.
Hooray!
Ginger!
