Yes, I know it! I... I know it!
OK. Friends, it is time to play a game right now that we like to call...
I Know It!
I Know It!
Do you know it?
Yes, I am going to talk about one of our key words.
When you know which word I am talking about, we want you to say...
I know it!
All right. OK, let's begin.
This is a place that is very hot.
There is not a lot of water in this place.
You might see interesting animals like...
I know it!
Argue. Argue. Argue is the word. Argue. Argue.
No, no. Gabe. I'm... I'm not done.
And... and you don't know it.
Oh.
You have the wrong answer, OK?
Keep going.
I don't want to argue but...
Um, this place is very hot.
The sun is very strong here.
You might need to drink a lot...
I know it! I know.
I agree. I agree.
The desert is very hot.
The desert might have some camels.
The sun is very hot in the desert.
Is "desert" the right word?
It is the right word.
I agree with you.
Now let's review.
Our tour bus took us to the Pyramids.
They are not far from Cairo.
Was the area crowded?
Yes. There were lots of people at the Pyramids.
There were many people with camels, too.
Could you ride one?
Yes, people could pay to ride them.
So my husband and I took a ride.
Where did you go?
We went out into the desert.
Did you ride far?
We rode for about 20 minutes.
Then we stopped.
Why?
Because the camel driver wanted more money!
Before we started our ride, we agreed on a price.
And he wanted to change it.
Right. He wanted more money to take us back.
We'd have to walk back if we didn't pay.
What did you do?
We argued!
Who won?
We did!
We wouldn't pay.
So finally he took us back to the Pyramids.
That's good.
Another man also had trouble with a camel ride.
Did he have to pay more money?
Yes. At the end of the ride, he had to pay to get off the camel!
You have interesting experiences when you travel.
Yes. And they make great stories!
(Chinese).
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, sale, S-A-L-E.
And sail, S-A-I-L.
These two words sound similar.
But they are very different.
Around Christmas, many stores have sales, S-A-L-E.
During a sale, stores sell things for cheaper price.
Right. During a sale, you can get good deals.
You can spend less and get more.
Have you ever bought anything on sale?
I have.
Now friends, "sale," S-A-L-E is different from "sail," S-A-I-L.
S-A-I-L means to travel on water.
The wind moves you across the water.
Right. If you want to sail on water, you will need a boat or a ship.
Have you ever sailed before?
I want to go sailing someday.
Yes. That would be fun.
You can sail on the ocean or the sea.
You can also sail on a river or a lake.
Well friends, sale.
And sail.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Jim.
And Tim, saying...
Goodbye.
