Welcome back.
My name is Gabe.
And I am Ginger.
And before we review our features, we want to play a game with you.
It's called: Guess the Calendar Phrase.
Hooray!
We will give you the words from one of this month's calendar phrases.
But the words are not in the right order.
Can you guess the calendar phrase?
You can use your magazine to help.
And the first word is: didn't.
Didn't.
Didn't, I.
Didn't, I.
Didn't, I, to.
Didn't, I, to.
Didn't, I, to.
Do you know the last word?
That's right, it's: mean.
And the calendar phrase is:
I didn't mean to...
Great job, friends.
Now let's review our features.
Yeah!
Hello, friends.
I am Gabe here with DJ Prince and the one and only, Black Pearl!
Hey, hey.
Let's play a game of Sing and Say.
Sing and Say.
How do we play?
Well...

You try to sound the same.
Say these words again today.
That's how you play the game.

(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, turkey, T-U-R-K-E-Y.
And Turkey, T-U-R-K-E-Y.
Wait a minute.
Jim, these two words are exactly the same.
You're right.
They do look similar.
But there is one big difference.
Uh, what's that?
The difference is the first letter.
In our first word, the t in "turkey" is a small t.
But in our second word, the T in "Turkey" is a big T - a capital T.
Small t, capital T.
Oh, I see. OK.
Um, so what's the difference?
"Turkey" with a little "t" is a bird.
Many people eat turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Oh. I like turkey.
I eat a turkey sandwich for lunch every day.
Me, too.
Turkey tastes great.
But "turkey" with a little t is different from "Turkey" with a capital T.
Turkey with a big "T" it's not a bird.
Turkey with a big "T" is a country.
Oh, right. I know about Turkey!
It is a country in Asia.
Right. It's also a country in Europe.
There are two countries called "Turkey"?
That's confusing.
No, Tim. It's the same country.
Part of Turkey is in Europe, and the other part is in Asia.
Oh! I understand.
Friends, do you understand?
turkey.
And Turkey.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Tim.
And Jim, saying...
Goodbye.
I really enjoy talking with you, Billy.
You make me feel so special.
Oh, you are special.
I mean it!
You ask very good questions that show you care about me.
Well, I do.
Now I want to know.
Um, can you tell me... Uh, tell me...
Excuse me.
I need Super Sentence Man.
Uh, Super Sentence Man?
I am Super Sentence Man.
And I have a super sentence just for you.
I'd like to know what something is.
Like this, Billy.
I'd like to know what your name is.
I'd like to know...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Not so loud, Billy.
It is a super sentence.
But I don't think that you should use it today.
Why?
Well, I... I'll tell you later.
But first, practice using the super sentence in another way.
OK.
I'd like to know what time it is.
I'd like to know what time it is.
Great!
Now uh, you, beautiful young lady, can your use "I'd like to know what..." in a
super sentence?
Sure.
I'd like to know what you are doing here.
I'd like to know what you are doing here.
Well, I'm helping Billy out.
Remember, friends, a super sentence every day will make your English great.
So anyway, I'd like to know what your name is.
Wait! Wait! No, don't say it, Billy!
You forgot my name?
And I thought you were so caring.
I can't believe it!
He forgot my name!
Well, Billy, it's OK.
Listen, let... let me give you some advice about dating.
You see, girls...
