Welcome back, everyone.
My name is Gabe.
And I'm Ginger.
And we have some advice just for you.
Practice, practice, practice.
Yes, because practice makes perfect.
And I advise you to listen carefully as we review this week's features beginning
with...
The Word Brothers.
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.
For example, advice, A-D-V-I-C-E.
And advise, A-D-V-I-S-E.
These two words are similar.
But they are very different.
Advice, A-D-V-I-C-E, can help you.
Yes. When I don't know what to do, I like to ask for advice.
Someone tells me something that helps.
Who do you go to for advice?
Well, I ask my mom for advice.
I ask my dad for advice.
Sometimes I ask my teacher or my brother or my friends.
That's nice.
What happens after you ask for advice?
Well then, people give me their advice.
Can I give you some advice right now?
Sure.
You should talk about our other word: advise.
OK, friends, advise, A-D-V-I-S-E, is a verb.
It's something someone does.
Right.
When you advise someone (A-D-V-I-S-E), you tell them what they should do.
So to advise someone means to give someone advice.
Right.
Notice the "s" in the word "advise" does not make an "s" sound.
What sound does it make?
Can you hear it?
advise.
advise.
That's right, it makes a "z", "z" sound.
OK friends, advice.
And advise.
Do you know the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Jim.
And Tim, saying...
Goodbye.
Hey, hey! I'm the Black Pearl of Asia, your new neighbor, here with DJ Prince.
Yeah. Give it to me.
And guess who?
Don Juan.
No. Can you say it better?
Well, yeah. I'm Don Juan.
OK, that's it.
Now let's play a game called Sing and Say.
Sing and Say.
How do we play?
Well...
When you hear me sing and say.
You try to sound the same.
Say these words again today.
That's how you play the game.
Sing and Say.

Well Ned, I can see that you're nervous.
But you shouldn't be.
We would love for you to work here with us.
That's great!
Now do you have any questions about our company?
Yes. Where is the closest bathroom?
Uh... I'm sorry. Why did...
I mean. What did you... I... How... Uh...
Excuse me for a moment, Ned.
I need Super Sentence Man.
And Super Sentence Man is always close by.
Now the super sentence that you need is:
How long have you something?
Like this:
How long have you needed to go to the bathroom?
Great!
How long have you needed to go to the bathroom?
An excellent question.
Ned, why do you look so nervous?
Don't be nervous.
Do you have a super sentence for me?
How long have you taught super sentences?
How long have you taught super sentences?
Great question.
Let's see. It's been 20... Uh, 25... No, almost 30.
I don't know.
A very long time.
Now Veronica, what super sentence do you need to use with Ned?
Ned, how long have you needed to go to the bathroom?
For a long...
And that is how you use a super sentence.
Remember, friends, a super sentence every day will make your English great.
I needed to go to the bathroom since the beginning of the interview.
Well, what are you waiting for? Go!
Thank you!
Uh, uh, Ned, the bathroom is the other way.
Oh, got it.
That poor, poor man.
I think he'll like it here.
Hello again, friends.
Well, we always have fun here at Let's Talk in English.
And of course, we hope to challenge you, too.
We want your English to improve.
You can improve by taking a Practice GEPT Test right in your magazine.
Try that if you like.
And we'll see you next time right here on Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
(Music).
