Hey, everyone, and welcome to the Saturday show of Let's Talk in English.
I'm glad you could join us today.
We have lots to review.
Oh yeah, my name is Gabe.
Now what did we talk about this week?
Well, you learned how to talk about doing things around the home.
That's right. There are different things that you can do to clean up your house.
What do you do around the home?
Maybe you need to sweep the floor.
Maybe you need to mop the floor.
What else can you do to make your home nice and clean?
We also talked about driving safely.
That's right.
If you do drive a car or ride a scooter or motorcycle, it's important to drive
safely.
That way, an accident won't happen.
I hope you are all doing very well.
I hope you have not been in any accidents.
And right now it's time for us to review.
But pay attention because Ginger will be here soon.
And we have some special questions just for you.
Hi, Lily.
Some friends are coming over to my apartment Friday evening.
Can you come, too?
Sure, Ken.
OK. Great.
What's wrong?
I'm a little nervous.
What are you nervous about?
My apartment is not clean.
That's OK. Your friends don't care.
You don't understand.
My apartment is very, very dirty.
Well, you can clean something every day.
Let's write things down.
There are a lot of dirty dishes in the sink.
Wash your dishes tonight.
Then don't use any dishes until Friday.
What? Are you serious?
No. Wash your dirty dishes every night.
OK. Hmm. The living room is really messy.
Pick up the living room on Tuesday.
The bathroom is very dirty.
Clean your bathroom on Wednesday.
OK. What else?
How about your floors?
The floors are not clean.
You can sweep and mop on Thursday.
OK. May I have your list?
Sure. Here.
You can have a clean apartment by Friday!
Great! Then we can have a fun evening.
Hey, Carol, how often do you clean your house?
I clean it once a week, usually on Saturday morning.
You clean your whole house in one morning?
No, I do some chores every day.
I take out the garbage every evening.
I should do that.
My apartment is starting to smell.
If you don't take out your garbage often, your apartment will smell.
What other chores do you do every day?
I wash my dirty dishes every evening.
Do you dry them with a towel and put them away?
No. I just let them dry and put them away the next morning.
I could do that.
I do everything else on Saturday.
I wash clothes, I mop, I clean the bathroom, and I vacuum.
Cleaning is a lot of work.
Why are you asking me so many questions about cleaning?
My apartment is very dirty.
I need some advice about cleaning.
Crean something every day.
Lily said that, too.
I like to clean a little before bed.
I don't ever like to clean.
I don't really like to clean, but I like to have a clean house.
Hi, Susie. May I borrow your car?
Now? Where are you going?
I'm going to the dentist.
Your car is so fast!
Are you late?
I might be.
Maybe you can borrow my car.
But first I have a few questions.
OK!
Are you a good driver?
I am an excellent driver!
Do you have a driver's license?
I do.
Do you ever drive and talk on a cellphone?
No. That is not safe.
Do you stop at stop signs?
Do you stop at traffic lights?
Yes, I stop at stop signs.
And I stop at red lights.
In my car, you stop at yellow lights, too.
OK. I can do that.
How do you feel?
Do you feel tired?
No, I feel fine.
Good.
Tired people are not good drivers.
OK, well, maybe I can just take the bus.
No, here are my keys.
You can borrow my car.
Thanks, Susie!
You're welcome.
I care about you.
And you care about your car.
That's true.
Be safe!
Here are your keys, Rob.
Thanks for lending me your car.
You're welcome, Susie.
I wanted to go with you, but I had to finish the show.
I understand.
So how is Amber?
Is she still at the hospital?
No, I took her home.
Her body hurts, especially where her seat belt was.
But she'll be fine.
I'm so glad.
Many people break something in a car accident.
Amber didn't break any bones, but she did "break" my car.
I'm sorry, Susie.
Are you angry?
I was angry, but someone can fix my car.
Amber is OK.
That's the important thing.
How did the accident happen?
Was she driving too fast?
No. Amber stopped at a traffic light.
When the light turned green, she started driving.
That sounds fine.
But a car came through a red light and hit her.
The other driver drove through a red light?
Yes. Amber feels bad about the accident.
Why does Amber feel bad?
When the light turned green, she just started driving.
She didn't look both ways first.
Drivers should look both ways first.
Even if you obey the traffic rules, other people might not!
Hello, everyone, welcome to Let's Talk!
Our special guest today will tell us about safety in the home.
Tell me, Ms. Safety, are we safe at home?
We should be, Rob.
But our homes can be dangerous when we aren't careful.
How can we be sure our homes are safe?
First, check your smoke alarms.
They should be working.
We don't want any fires in our homes.
Right!
Also, keep medicines where children can't reach them.
Do most home accidents happen to children?
Yes. For example, someone doesn't turn a pot handle to the back of the stove.
Then a child pulls a pot of hot soup down and burns himself.
Ouch!
Or someone leaves a knife on the counter.
A child tries to cut some vegetables and she cuts herself.
Oh, no!
Thanks for your advice, Ms. Safety.
Our homes can be a dangerous place if we aren't careful.
Most home accidents happen to children.
Here are a few home safety tips.
1. Make sure your smoke alarms are working.
2. Keep medicines where children can't get them.
3. Turn pan and pot handles to the back of the stove.
4. Don't leave knives on the counter.
Children can cut themselves.
Well, hello, everyone.
I am here with Ginger.
And I'm here with Gabe.
Yes. And... Ginger, what are you doing with that knife?
Ooh, I was cutting bananas for a banana split.
Yummy. It was delicious.
Well, I'm glad it was delicious.
But that knife looks very dangerous just sitting there.
Here. How about I move this?
Uh, let me put it over here, OK?
OK, good idea.
A monkey could cut himself.
Yes.
Now it's time for some review questions.
Number one.
Who cleans her house on Saturday mornings?
Ooh, I know the answer!
Who cleans her house on Saturday mornings?
Carol cleans her house on Saturday mornings.
Great job, Ginger.
Now what question do you have for us?
It's question number two.
Where should you keep medicines in your house?
Good question.
Do you remember?
Were you paying attention?
That's right. You should keep them where children can't get them.
Uh oh.
What's wrong, Ginger?
I feel sick.
Did you put too much ice cream on your banana split?
I think so.
My stomach hurts.
I need some medicine.
I need some medicine.
Where is the medicine?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Ginger.
I put the medicine somewhere where monkeys can't get to it.
I can't believe you!
But don't worry.
I'll get you some medicine, Ginger.
Uh, friends, I think it's time for us to take a little break.
Let me get that medicine.
