Let's Talk in English.
Hey, everyone, welcome to LTE TV here today.
My name is Gabe.
And my name is Andrea.
Let's talk about being neat.
Yes, that's what we are going to learn how to do today.
Now is your home neat?
Or is your home messy?
Well, the title of our lesson today is: Susie's Home.
Now I wonder if her home is neat, or if she needs some help from others.
Well, we have many key words to talk about and learn.
You'll see them in our conversations and learn how to use them.
So please open your magazines.
Take a look at the key words already.
And then follow along with Conversation A.
Hi, Susie. You're late today.
I know. I'm sorry.
I could not find something at home.
What was that?
My left shoe!
Where do you keep your shoes?
I keep them under my bed.
Do you keep all your shoes there?
Yes. I don't own a lot of shoes.
All right, friends.
Well uh, it's just me right now.
I don't know...
Hi, Gabe! Hi, hi.
Andrea, there you are.
I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm late.
That's OK. I'm glad you're here now.
OK.
Thank you.
Yeah, try not to be late in the future.
OK. Well, I'm... I'm usually not late, Gabe.
Yeah.
Usually, you're the late one.
I know. Usually I'm the late one.
But today I was on time.
Friends, "late" is our key word.
If you're late, that means you get somewhere after you should.
You're not early.
You're late.
Your teacher might tell you, "Don't be late for class." If you are late, well
then, something bad might happen.
Of course, when you have a plan to meet a friend or a plan to go somewhere, you
want to be on time or early.
Don't be late.
Don't be late.
But if you know that you will not be on time, if you know you might be late,
it's good to text your friend.
Or to call your friend and say, "Hey, I'm sorry, but I'll be a little late." Let
someone know that you will be late.
Well, in our conversation today, Susie was late, right?
Yeah, she was late.
And Susie had a reason.
Why was Susie late?
Why was Susie late?
Well, Susie could not find something at her house.
She could not find her left shoe.
That's why she was late.
Yes. Now that's an interesting reason to be late.
Sometimes people share interesting excuses about why they're late.
But this is true.
Susie could not find her left shoe.
She keeps her shoes under her bed.
And she couldn't find her left shoe.
Susie also tells us that she doesn't own a lot of shoes.
She doesn't own a lot of shoes.
"Own" is our key word here.
When you own something, that means it is yours.
You bought it.
It belongs to you.
You're not borrowing it.
It is yours.
And I have a shoe right here.
It's my left shoe.
I own this shoe.
But I'll let Andrea borrow it for a little bit.
Oh. Well, thank you for that kind, kind offer.
I don't want to. It... it's yours.
You own it. You keep it.
OK, I'll keep my left shoe.
I own it.
You own it. It is yours.
Well friends, what kind of things do you own?
Do you have a car?
Is it your car?
Well, then you own that car.
You also have to take care of your car.
Do you have a pet?
Is that pet yours?
Well, then you own a pet.
And of course, you have to take care of that pet.
Do you own your Let's Talk in English magazine?
Good.
Well, let's continue with Conversation B.
I keep my shoes by my front door.
I don't wear them in the house.
I don't, either.
But I don't like a pile of shoes beside the door.
Mine aren't in a pile.
They are in a line.
Mine would be in a pile.
I'm a little messy!
So you don't always put things away.
That's right.
So at the beginning of this conversation, Lilly says, "I keep my shoes by my
front door." I...
Uh, Gabe, Gabe!
Yes?
I think people want to see the front of you while you are teaching.
Oh.
Can you turn around?
Oh, yeah. Oh. Hi, everybody.
I'm sorry.
Uh yes, we are teaching right now.
I was just thinking about this conversation.
And I was not facing you.
I had my back toward you.
But we do have an important key word here.
The word is "front." Say that with me.
front.
Nice.
The front of something is the part that you can see.
I have a front and a back.
If you're talking to somebody, you want to make sure that your front is facing
that person.
Yes, that is true.
In our conversation, Lily says that she keeps her shoes by her front door.
Mmhm.
So a house or an apartment can have a front door.
Now that's the door that you go in to go into the apartment.
Now some houses also have a back door.
And you can leave the house that way, or go into it.
But it's not the first door that you see.
So you can have a front door, and that opens up to the front yard, if you live
in a house with a yard.
Many houses in America also have a backyard.
So there's a front yard and a backyard.
Well, we do have another key word here.
It is: beside.
Susie says, "I don't like a pile of shoes beside the door." So "beside" means
next to.
She doesn't want a pile of shoes next to the door.
So Susie doesn't like a pile of shoes beside the door.
Well, I can honestly understand that.
If there is a pile of shoes beside the door, every time you walk through your
front door,
you see these shoes, and they're right beside the door, and then you...
Andrea, excuse me.
Yeah?
Do you know that you are right beside me?
Well yes, Gabe, I'm beside you.
I... I like to be beside you.
Uh, right.
I like when you are beside me.
But not this close beside me.
I'm sorry. Here. Step over there a little ways.
OK. Well, I just wanted everyone to understand our key word.
That's good.
Yes, you were standing right beside me.
Well friends, now you know how to use this word "beside." Where do you put your
shoes?
Do you put them beside your bed?
Do you put them beside the front door?
Where do you put your shoes?
Right now, Andrea, what time is it?
Well, it is time for Conversation C.
Do you lose a lot of things?
Well, I don't lose them.
They are in my apartment.
I just can't find them!
Take my friend's advice.
"A place for everything, and everything in its place.".
That is good advice.
There's just one problem.
What's that?
I don't have enough places for everything.
So I just make piles!
A place for everything and everything in its place.
I like that.
Well, our conversation starts with a question.
Do you lose a lot of things?
Hey, Gabe, do you lose a lot of things?
Do I lose a lot of things?
No, I don't usually lose anything.
But you know what?
Today I did lose something.
Really? What did you lose?
I lost some money.
I lost $100.
I can't find it.
It's not in my wallet.
And it's not in my pockets.
I don't know where my hundred dollars is.
I lost that money.
Oh, Gabe, I'm sorry to hear that.
Guess you've had some bad luck today.
But actually, I've had some good luck because today I found $100!
Wait.
Yeah.
Andrea, I lost $100.
Yes. And I found $100.
Well, let's talk about our key word.
lose.
Now when you lose something, that means you can't find it, or you don't know
where it is.
And poor Gabe lost $100.
Yeah, Andrea, I lost $100.
And you found $100.
I know! I'm so lucky!
Where did you find it?
Well, I found it...
OK. Actually, friends, why don't you go and see Ginger and the Monkey Man at the
Jungle Cafe?
That's so funny.
What's so funny?
Wearing only one shoe.
Ginger, where is your left shoe?
I left my left shoe at home.
Very funny.
And where is your right shoe?
It's right here.
Ginger, do you ever lose your shoes?
No. I put my shoes where I can find them.
Good.
Where do you put them?
On my feet.
Where do you put your shoes?
Yeah, I put my shoes beside the door.
Oh. Are they in a line?
Uh, no. My shoes are in a big pile.
That's because you have big feet!
Oh, that's so funny.
Yeah.
Let's review our key words together.
So please say them with us.
Our first one is: late.
