Let's Talk...
In English.
Hi, everyone, and welcome to our show.
We are excited about today's show.
And I hope you are, too.
My name is Andrea.
And my name is Gabe.
And my question for you today is: How Do You Feel?
How Do You Feel?
Are you feeling happy today?
Are you feeling sad?
Maybe you're a bit unhappy.
Andrea, are you feeling unhappy today?
No, I'm not unhappy today.
I'm not sad.
I'm very happy.
I'm excited.
I'm excited that everyone is here and we get to learn together.
Well, I feel excited, too.
And friends, we are going to learn a lot today.
So open up your magazines and let's begin with Conversation A.
You're quiet today, Lily.
Are you sad?
I'm OK. I'm thinking.
What are you thinking about?
Susie. I was here with her last week.
And I wasn't very nice.
What happened?
She bothered me.
I was a little mean.
And now I feel bad.
Don't worry. You weren't mean.
How do you know?
Because you're a nice person!
Lily is a nice person, and Ken's a nice person, too.
And I'm sure you are a nice person, too.
Well, right now, nice people, we're going to look at some key words from this
conversation.
The first one is: sad.
sad.
If you're sad, you're not happy about something.
Something makes you feel bad.
Maybe something bad happened in your life and you feel sad.
Well, Ken can see that Lily is not happy.
Yeah.
So he asks her, "Are you sad?" And if you see that a friend of yours is not
happy, you can ask them: Are you sad?
It's a way to show that you care about your friend and want to know if they are
OK.
So Gabe, are you sad?
Hmm? No, Andrea, of course not.
I'm not sad.
I'm happy.
I'm happy because I'm teaching with you.
We're teaching here on Let's Talk in English.
And we have many wonderful friends joining us here today.
I am not sad.
Well, that is great.
I'm glad that you feel great today, Gabe.
And I hope that you all feel well today as well.
Well friends, Ken asks another question.
He says, "What are you thinking about?" What are you thinking about?
You can use this question in another way.
What were you talking about?
Or, what were you arguing about?
Yes, so you can ask this in the past.
What were you talking about?
Or you can ask in the present.
What are you reading about?
Or, what are you writing about?
And Ken says, "What are you thinking about?" She was thinking about something
that happened last week with Susie.
And she feels bad.
Friends, the key word is: feel.
When you feel something, that is talking about your emotions.
You could feel happy.
You could feel sad.
You could feel angry.
You could feel excited.
You can feel many different things.
How do you feel?
This is also a good question to ask.
How do you feel?
I feel great.
I feel happy.
Or, I feel... I feel sad.
Well, don't feel sad, Andrea.
Feel happy.
It's a good time right now to go and learn more with Conversation B.
Thank you, Ken. You're nice, too.
Thanks!
And please don't worry. Susie is fine.
Did you see Susie today?
I saw her this morning.
Was she uhhappy?
No. She was happy!
Good. Maybe I'm thinking too much.
You care about other people's feelings.
That's good.
Ken ends our conversation by saying "You care about other people's feelings. And
that's good." It's true.
It's good to care about other people's feelings.
Now your feelings talk about how you feel.
If you feel sad, well then you have a sad feeling.
That's right. Well, how are you feeling today?
Tell someone about your feelings.
Are you excited?
You have excited feelings?
Are you angry?
You're feeling angry?
You have angry feelings?
I hope you are feeling good right now.
Well, it is nice to think about how other people are feeling.
It shows that you care.
And we care about this key word.
So let's talk about it.
It is "care." Now when you care about something, it is important to you, and you
want to make sure that person is OK.
You care about people in your life.
I care about my family.
I care about my husband.
I care about my baby.
I care about my friends.
Who do you care about?
Who do you care about?
Usually you see the word "about" with "care." You care about someone, or you
care about something.
I care about my friends and my family too.
I also care about my cats.
There are many things that I care about.
And it's important to care about other people's feelings.
That's true. And we care about all of you.
We care that you are learning with us.
Our next key word here is "unhappy." And when you are unhappy, you are not
happy.
The two letters "U-N" in front of the word "happy" mean "not." So unhappy means
not happy.
Gabe, you are happy today, right?
Well, of course.
Good.
I am not unhappy. I am happy.
Now Andrea, this word is a little bit different from the word "sad," right?
That's true.
Sometimes when we're sad, we feel very, very down or just not good.
But when we're unhappy, we just might not feel that bad.
That's right, we might not be happy, but maybe we're not really sad.
So you can think about how these words are different.
Use them today in English.
Of course, they're English words.
Anyway, friends, right now it's time for us to continue with Conversation C.
I care about your feelings, too!
How do you feel today?
I feel excited today.
I have special plans tonight.
Are you playing basketball tonight?
No. That's not very special.
I'm cooking a special dinner for my girlfriend!
You have a girlfriend?
Yes! Our first date was one month ago!
Wow! That is exciting!
Well, I am very excited about this conversation because we have a key word.
A key word. Well, that is exciting.
Yes, that is exciting.
And I am excited.
Friends, the key word is "excited." When you feel excited about something,
you're happy, you are interested in doing something or learning about something
or going somewhere.
You are excited.
In our conversation, Ken says, "I feel excited today." Now why is he excited?
Well, he has special plans tonight.
I feel excited.
So we use the word "excited" when you are talking about how you feel.
I feel excited.
But when do we use "exciting"?
Well, you say something is exciting.
So Ken had his first date one month ago.
That information is exciting.
Someone is excited about something.
Or, something is exciting to hear about.
Well friends, you're doing a good job.
Right now it's time for us to go and visit our exciting friends, the Monkey Man
and Ginger.
Hi, Ginger.
Oh, it's you.
Ginger, you're a little quiet today.
Are you sad?
I feel bad.
Yesterday you bothered me.
And I was a little mean.
I know. You asked me to move.
Did that hurt your feelings?
Yes! That's why I took my magazine.
That was a little mean, too.
I'm sorry. I care about your feelings.
And I'm sorry. I care about your feelings, too.
That's good. So don't be unhappy.
Good. I don't have to worry anymore.
That's right. We're still good friends.
Yeah! So can I read your magazine now?
Well, I'm not really finished reading it.
Come on.
OK.
