Well, Andrea and I were just talking.
And uh, we wanted to welcome you back from the break, and ask if you are ready
for a Key Word...
Story.
Good. So are you ready for a Key Word...
Story?
Good. I am.
And I know that Andrea is.
We have a Key Word...
Story...
Just for you.
Let me begin.
The story will use all of today's key words.
Tanya has a lot of energy.
Well, she is already 89 years old, but she's very healthy.
She gets enough sleep.
And she drinks enough water.
She doesn't have a lack of anything.
She's a great example for society.
Yeah. But recently, she started gaining a lot of weight, you know?
Gabe!
Yeah. What?
Well, that's not nice.
Well, but Andrea, I had to use the word: gain.
Oh. OK.
Sorry, Gabe.
Um, but you could have said she's gained a lot of respect.
Oh. Oh, right.
OK. OK, I'm sorry, Tanya.
You look great.
And it's true.
You have gained a lot of respect.
That's our story.
That is our story.
Yeah.
Well, we know that you can probably make an even better story.
That's right.
But right now it's time for us to review today's lesson.
Here we go.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Let's Talk!
Do you sleep enough?
Most people don't.
Our special guest today is here to talk to us about sleep.
Welcome, Ms. Nod.
Thank you for joining me today.
You're welcome, Rob.
We know everyone needs sleep to stay healthy.
Yes. Your body needs time to repair itself.
It does that when you sleep.
And we need sleep to give us energy for the next day.
Right. But most people don't sleep enough because we live in a 24/7 society.
Yes, we do!
I know I don't sleep enough.
May I tell you some more things about sleep?
Please do!
Not getting enough sleep shortens your life.
Lack of sleep makes you look older, too.
Really!
Also, too little sleep can make you gain weight.
Why is that?
You feel hungrier when you don't get enough sleep.
Everyone should try to sleep seven or more hours a night.
I know I will!
To stay healthy, you need enough sleep.
Your body repairs itself when you sleep.
Sleep also gives you energy for the next day.
But getting enough sleep is not easy because we live in a 24/7 society.
Lack of sleep can shorten your life.
And people who don't sleep enough can gain weight.
And you look older when you don't get enough sleep.
So be sure to get seven hours of sleep every night!

Benji?
Oh. Hi, Nina.
What are you doing?
I'm exercising.
What are you doing?
I'm eating these chips.
And I feel kind of sick.
Do you always eat chips in the afternoon?
Yeah. And I always feel sick.
Let me tell you something.
You shouldn't...
I mean, you can't always...
You will feel better... uh...
You uh...
Are you going to tell me something or not because...?
You'll feel healthier when you don't eat only junk food.
Whoa! Nina, your voice changed.
No, no, no...
I am not Nina.
I am Super Sentence Man.
And the sentence that you need for today is:
You feel something when you don't something else.
Nina, can you use the super sentence in another way?
You feel sleepier when you don't sleep much.
You feel sleepier when you don't sleep much.
That's true.
What about you, Benji?
You feel lonelier when you don't spend time with your friends.
You feel lonelier when you don't spend time with your friends.
Yes, friends are very important.
Now what do you want to say to Benji?
Benji, you feel healthier when you don't eat only junk food.
Why are you laughing?
Because you sound like my mom.
My mom always says that.
Well...
You should listen to your mom!
And you should always remember, a super sentence every day will make your
English great.
So, do you want some chips?
Eww! No!
Sure. Thank you.

Hey, hey, hey, now it's time for us to practice what we learned with our Answer
It questions.
Number one.
How many hours should everyone sleep each night?
This is very important in Chinese or English or any language.
How many hours should everyone sleep each night?
Well, we found the answer in Conversation B.
Did you find it?
I know you did.
Here is the answer.
Everyone should try to sleep seven or more hours a night.
Yes, it's important to sleep seven or more hours a night.
But sometimes we don't get enough sleep.
Well, our second question is: Do you get enough sleep? Why or why not?
Gabe?
Do I get enough sleep?
Well, I usually get between four and five hours of sleep every night because I'm
out hanging out with my friends and reading books and...
That's OK.
I don't get enough sleep, but I get enough coffee.
Isn't that great?
Gabe, that is not great.
No! You need to get enough sleep.
You should sleep at least seven hours a night.
You don't get enough sleep.
Well, I guess you're right, Andrea.
Coffee is not as important as sleep.
You're right.
You got that right.
Well friends, remember that.
And answer that question in English.
We want to thank you for joining us here today.
And we'll see you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
