Let's Talk in English.
Hey, everyone, and welcome to LTE TV.
My name is Gabe.
And my name is Andrea.
We are so glad you joined us again today.
The title of our lesson is: Safe at Home?
Are you safe at home?
Well, home is a place where you want to feel safe.
It's important to remember safety at home.
Even where you live, there can be dangerous things.
Do you have a fire alarm in your home?
Do you have a place to keep all of your knives?
You don't want someone to touch a knife and cut their hand or cut their finger.
So our homes can be dangerous.
But we want you to remember safety and learn about safety with us today.
So please open your magazines.
And let's begin with Conversation A.
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.
Yes, keep medicines where children can't reach them.
"Medicines" talks about medicine bottles or boxes that you have with medicine
inside.
Well, we are learning a lot about home safety.
And let's talk about our key word.
safety.
When you are talking about safety, you are talking about things that you do to
be safe.
Home safety talks about what you can do to be safe in your home.
And have you ever heard of the phrase "safety first"?
Safety first.
That's a phrase that you might hear in English if you go somewhere that could be
dangerous.
Safety first.
When you are driving, or no matter what you are doing, if you are playing and
having fun, safety first.
Always remember, safety first.
That is great advice, Gabe.
Well, we have another key word here.
dangerous.
Ms. Safety says, "Our homes can be dangerous when we aren't careful." Now if
something is dangerous, that means it is not safe.
Think about all the things in your home that could be dangerous.
You want to do something to make your home safe.
Maybe your home is a dangerous place.
I hope not.
Maybe you know someone who is a dangerous driver.
I do.
Gabe, I am not a dangerous driver.
I know about car safety.
Safety first, right?
Safety first. That's right.
It's very important.
Safety first.
So I hope you are a careful driver if you drive cars, friends.
Yes. Another thing to think about for home safety is your smoke alarms.
You want to check your smoke alarms to make sure they are working.
"Alarm" is a key word.
An alarm tells you that something is wrong.
A smoke alarm tells you that something's wrong.
The alarm knows that there is smoke somewhere.
You want to find out more.
But of course, there are also different alarms. Right, Gabe?
That's right.
If there is smoke, there could be a fire.
So there are also fire alarms.
It's an alarm that lets you know there is a fire in the building, and you should
run out.
Or maybe you need to get up in the morning, and you have an alarm clock.
When the alarm clock rings, you need to get up.
Well friends, it's time for us to continue with Conversation B.
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.
Thanks for your advice, Ms. Safety.
Yes, Ms. Safety does have very good advice.
Well friends, we have some good key words right here in this conversation.
Let's talk about, ah, that key word that starts with a C.
It is: cut.
Uh, Gabe, Gabe.
Um, you're right, our key word is cut.
Yes, it is, Andrea.
But I think that we also need to remember safety in the studio.
And it's not very safe to hold a big knife like that.
You're right, Andrea.
Safety first. Safety first.
That is very important.
Um, well here, Andrea, you can have this knife.
Oh. Thank you.
Yeah, because I have another knife right here.
And this knife is really cool.
I really like this knife.
Actually, this knife is a little more dangerous than that knife.
This knife can cut many things.
When you cut something, you are breaking it into pieces.
And you can use a knife to cut something, right?
Yes. But just be sure to be safe.
Make sure your hand is on the handle of the knife.
And "handle" is also a key word.
The handle of something is where you hold it.
Your hand should be on the handle of the knife.
Then you are safe.
A pot also has a handle.
When you use a pot, hold the pot with your hand by the handle.
A pot handle, a knife handle.
Or, some doors have handles.
That is called a door handle.
And you can pull the door open or push the door shut with the door handle.
Of course, most doors have door knobs.
They are round.
But some doors have door handles.
Friends, you've learned a lot.
And we have more to learn in our Read It.
So let's go there now.
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.
We learned some great home safety tips.
And let's review them.
The first one is: Make sure your smoke alarms are working.
When you make sure to do something, you do it.
It is important, so don't forget.
Make sure you do it.
Make sure you are being careful when you cross the street.
Make sure you do that.
Make sure you finish your homework before you go to class.
You must obey what your teacher says.
And make sure your smoke alarms are working in the house.
What else is a good tip?
Keep medicines where children can't get them.
Right. So maybe put them up high.
Or put them in a place that you can lock with a key, so a child can't open the
door.
Well, we want you to make sure that you listen to the things you learn today
about home safety.
Now make sure you listen to our friends, Ginger and the Monkey Man.
Oh, no! I'm scared.
Ginger, why are you afraid?
The lesson is about safety in the home.
Homes are dangerous.
Ginger, don't worry.
I keep our home very safe.
Do we have smoke alarms?
Yes, we do.
Do we keep medicines where monkeys can't reach them?
Yes, we do.
And I'm very careful around the stove.
Whoa, that's good.
Mmhm. And I always put knives in a safe place.
Whoa, so our home is safe.
Yes, our home is very safe.
There's only one thing in our home that is dangerous.
What's that?
Well, it's a wild animal - you!
You scared me.
So wild.
You're a wild animal.
It's time for us to review our key words together.
So please say them with us.
That's a great way to practice.
