Welcome back, everybody.
I'm Gabe.
And I'm horrible.
Wait. Oh, no.
Ginger, are you feeling horrible today?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh. Well... I know something that will cheer you up.
We're going to play a little game called What's That Word.
Are you ready, Ginger?
Yeah. What is that word?
Well, I will give you the letters of a word, but they're not in the right
places.
And it's your job to put the letters in the right places.
It's a key word from this week.
Are you ready?
Yeah.
OK. Here I go.
L-I-B-O-R-R-H-E, what's that word?
Wow! That's horrible.
It's too hard.
Well, no... it's not too hard, Ginger.
It's a horrible game.
It's too hard.
Wait. Wait... wait.
It's a horrible word.
A horrible game, a horrible word.
Actually, Ginger, you're right.
The word is "horrible".
See, I told you it was a horrible word.
What's the word?
No. That is the word!
That's what I mean - the word is... is "horrible".
Oh.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Yeah. That was one of our key words from this week.
What a horrible key word!
Yeah.
Well, friends, right now it's time for us to review our features.
Yes, sir, I will take care of your problem right away.
No. No, no. You are welcome.
All right. OK.
Bye-bye.
Oh. Hello. My name is Travis Trip.
Where do you want to travel today?
England? China? New Zealand?
What, you don't know?
Well, I can help you.
I am a travel agent for Get Lost Travels.
I can help you plan a trip in your country or around the world.
I promise you, your trip will not be terrible.
It will be fun and relaxing.
Leave all the work to me.
Send me a copy of your passport and other documents, and you will be ready to
travel the world.
Oh. The phone is ringing.
I need to answer the phone.
Maybe someone is lost and needs my help.
Hello, Get Lost Travels.
This is Travis Trip.
How could I help you today?
Right.
(Music).
Hi, everyone. I'm Jim.
And I'm Tim. We're...
The Word Brothers.
We are similar.
But very different.
Yes, just like some English words.
Right.
For example, site, S-I-T-E.
And sight, S-I-G-H-T.
These two words are very similar.
But they are very different.
A site, S-I-T-E, is a place.
You can have a building site.
This is where a building is.
You can have a camp site.
This is a place where people camp.
You have also heard of a website.
A website is a site on the Internet.
It's a place on the Internet, website.
Many people confuse site, S-I-T-E, with sight, S-I-G-H-T.
Right.
A sight, S-I-G-H-T, is something interesting to see.
It can also be a place or something beautiful in nature.
So when you travel, you go to see sights.
We say you go sightseeing.
You see interesting places.
What are some famous sights in your city?
In New York, people might visit the Empire State Building.
That's a famous sight.
Taipei 101, the Great Wall of China, the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids, these are
all famous sights around the world.
Which sights do you want to see?
Think about it.
OK, friends, site.
And sight.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Jim.
And Tim, saying...
Goodbye.
Hey again, everybody.
Well, it is almost time to say goodbye, but I did want to remind you that you
can always practice what you have learned.
You can cut out those key word cards from your magazine, and take them with you
everywhere.
Practice makes perfect.
You're doing a great job.
And I look forward to seeing you next time right here on Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye, everybody.
(Music).
