Hello again, friends, and welcome back.
Now it is time for a Key Word...
Story.
A Key Word...
Story.
The part of the show where we use today's key words and put them into a...
Key Word Story. Yes!
Yes, and I will begin.
Today's story will be called: Poor Daphne.
Daphne went to the convenience store to make a purchase.
The store's parking lot was full.
So she had to park far away.
Once she got to the store, she found what she wanted to buy.
Oh, good!
So she looked in her purse.
And she didn't have her wallet.
She forgot her wallet in her car.
So she walked back to her car to get her wallet.
And then she walked back to the store.
Then she made her purchase and left the store and walked back to her car.
And when she got to her car, she remembered that she forgot her change at the
store!
Oh, oh. She walked back to the store again.
Oh, poor Daphne.
Poor, poor Daphne.
And poor... Well, poor story.
I mean. It's kind of a sad story.
But we did use all of the key words.
Yes, we did. We did a good job.
Friends, you can do even better.
Right now it's time for us to review our lesson.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Let's Talk!
Do you ever shop at convenience stores?
Well, our guest today owns many convenience stores.
Let's welcome him.
Welcome, Mr. Quick!
You own 10 convenience stores, right?
That's right, Rob!
At convenience stores, you can find what you need fast!
People spend a lot of money at convenience stores.
They do.
And you don't have to go to a big store with a large parking lot.
You can just park near the store and walk in.
Or just walk to the store!
Right!
Do people use cash at convenience stores these days?
Some people do.
But they also use credit cards or debit cards.
In big cities in Asia, many people use their transit cards at convenience
stores.
They can use them like a debit card, can't they?
Right.
Then they don't have to carry cash.
Or put change from their purchase back in their wallet.
Using a card to buy things is very convenient!
At a convenience store, you don't have to park in a large parking lot.
You don't have to walk around a big store, either.
Convenience stores are small and convenient!
You can pay cash or use a credit card or a debit card to make your purchase.
In Asia, people can use their transit cards.
When you use a credit, debit or transit card, you don't have to carry cash or
put change back in your wallet!
Hello.
(Chinese).
Oh Bobby, I am very excited about dinner tonight.
Yes, Nancy, you make delicious (Chinese), dear.
I know our American guests will love it.
I'm sure they will.
I just need to go buy some forks.
Why?
They will use chopsticks.
I mean. They will try to...
The Americans will try to...
Oh, dear, I need Super Sentence Man.
I am Super Sentence Man.
And the super sentence that you need is:
They can do something, can't they?
Like this:
They can use chopsticks, can't they?
Yes. They can use chopsticks, can't they?
Great!
But before I leave, can you give me one of your own super sentences, Bobby Lee?
I will try.
They can take the test again, can't they?
They can take the test again, can't they?
Super!
What about you, Nancy?
They can sing Chinese songs, can't they?
They can sing Chinese songs, can't they?
Yes.
Now what super sentence do you need to use, Bobby?
They can use chopsticks, can't they, Nancy?
I don't know, dear.
We should call them...
Wait. Wait. I can use chopsticks.
Really?
Well, yes. And I can sing Chinese songs.
Would you like to join us for dinner, then?
Would I? I would!
Friends, now you know how to use a super sentence.
Say it with me.
A super sentence every day will make your English great.
Let's go!
I made (Chinese) for dinner.
Well, that sounds great.
What is it?
You'll see.
Oh.
