Hey, everyone, and welcome to the Saturday show of Let's Talk in English right
here at LTE TV.
My name is Gabe.
And yes, you can call me Gabe.
Now today is a review day, so we're going to review what we learned this week.
What did we learn anyway?
Hmm, you learned how to talk about yard sales.
Yes. You also learned how to talk about online auctions.
You could get great deals on things online.
You also learned how to talk about the library in English.
Now when do you check out books from a library?
When do you return them?
These are different things you learned how to talk about in English.
You also learned how to talk about going to the post office, and how to talk
about going to the bank.
Do you have a bank account?
Do you keep money in the bank?
Or do you always have a lot of cash on you or in your wallet?
Can you lend me some money?
No? OK. That's OK.
Well, right now we're going to review this week's lessons.
But listen carefully because Ginger will be here soon.
And we have some questions just for you.
Hi, Lily. What are you reading about?
Oh, hi, Susie.
I'm looking for yard sales in the newspaper.
Do you often go to yard sales?
No, but I want a few more things for my apartment.
I see.
I can buy some used things. They cost less!
That's true.
And I like to bargain!
Me too!
Do you often go to yard sales, Susie?
Sure. I go to yard sales almost every weekend in the summer.
Wow! You really like yard sales.
I do. I can buy things for cheap prices.
And I always meet interesting people.
How do you find yard sales?
I look in the newspaper or online.
Or I just drive around and look for signs.
What about garage sales?
Are those the same as yard sales?
Sure. A sale can be in a garage or in front of a home.
I see. So are you going to any yard sales this weekend?
Yes, I'll go on Saturday morning.
Can I go with you?
Sure. Let's meet in front of our apartment building at 7:30.
OK! Thanks!
Hey, Ken, do you ever buy used things online?
Sure, Susie. I love to get good deals.
I love good deals too.
Which website should I use?
There are lots of websites.
I know!
Do you ever use auction websites?
Sometimes. How about you?
I never have, but I want to try.
What are you shopping for?
An MP3 player.
Let's look at this website.
You can bid on things here.
OK. This is exciting!
So we're on the site.
Which kind of MP3 player do you want?
I want this kind.
OK, now we look for the best deal.
Some players are new, and some are used.
Some sellers offer free shipping.
A used one is OK.
And I like free shipping!
Here's a used MP3 player for $20 with free shipping.
Do you want to bid on it?
Sure.
What is your maximum price?
I'd pay $30.
OK. I'll type in $30, but you'll only pay $20 if no one else bids.
Great! What if I want to return it?
Most sellers allow you to return things.
This one does.
Just check their information.
OK! Thanks, Ken!
Hi, Lily. Why do you have those books?
These are library books.
I'm going to the library now.
You also have a DVD.
Did you borrow that from the library too?
Yes, I did!
I watched this DVD last night.
Did you read all the books too?
No. I only read one of them.
I see. Are those books due today?
Yes! So I must return them today.
Do you often check out books from the library?
Not too often.
Do you like audio books?
You can get those at the library too.
That's a good idea. Then I can listen to books!
Many libraries lend magazines too.
That's true. But I usually buy magazines.
I usually buy e-books.
You can check out e-books from libraries.
I know. But I don't have a library card.
Get one soon! It's free!
Then you can borrow lots of e-books.
OK. I can go to the library with you now.
Good! Then we can both borrow some books!
Susie, do you want to have lunch with me today?
I'm going out for Chinese food.
I can't today.
I'm going to the post office to mail some things.
Can't you just put them in the mailbox near the TV station?
There's one just down the street.
I can't. I need to mail a package.
I see. Is it a big package?
Yes, it is.
And I don't have a box yet!
You can get one at the post office.
There are many sizes of boxes there.
Yes, and I need a big box!
I'm mailing something to my brother for his birthday.
Fun! Everyone loves mail on their birthday!
I love to mail packages.
How about you?
I don't send many packages.
But when I'm on vacation, I send postcards to my friends.
That's fun too.
I'm also mailing some letters today.
So I need to buy stamps at the post office too.
You can buy stamps online.
Did you know that?
Really? Maybe I'll do that next time!
Hi, Ken. Are you here to eat lunch?
Yes, but I need to eat fast.
I spent most of my lunch break running an errand.
What errand?
I went to the bank.
I deposited a check into my account.
That doesn't take long.
The bank must have been crowded.
The bank is always crowded at lunchtime!
That's true!
Actually, I also paid my credit card bill.
So I had two things to do.
I see.
I always pay my credit card bills online.
I should do that.
Oh, I did one other thing at the bank.
I got cash from the ATM.
Why didn't you get cash when you deposited your check?
Because I forgot!
Well, don't forget to eat!
Going to a bank is a common errand for many people.
People go to a bank to deposit money.
When people get checks, they often put the money into their bank account.
They can also get cash at the same time.
People can use ATMs to get cash from their accounts too.
But they need an ATM card to do that.
People can also pay their credit card bills at the bank.
Well hello, everyone.
I am here with Ginger...
And I'm here with Gabe.
And we have some quiz questions just for you.
The first one is: Susie is meeting Lily to go to a yard sale together this
morning.
Here's the question.
What time will they meet?
Huh, what time will Susie and Lily meet on Saturday morning?
I know! I know!
Well, good! Good!
What's the answer?
They will meet at 7:30.
Good job, Ginger.
And for a prize, here is some money.
I just went to the bank to get this.
This is your prize.
Wow! Gee, thanks, Gabe.
No problem.
Now do you have a question?
Yes, I do.
Here's the question.
And if you get the answer right...
Yeah?
I have a prize for you.
Oh, you do?
Well, what's the question?
OK.
Who had Chinese food for lunch this week?
Hmm.
Who had Chinese food for lunch this week?
I know the answer.
Do you know it?
That's right, Rob did.
Rob had Chinese food for lunch this week.
Is that right, Ginger?
You're right.
You get a prize!
Well, great!
Um, what is it?
It's a banana!
A banana? That's my prize?
Yes. And it's right over there.
Go get one.
Listen, I'll trade my banana for your money.
No, you won't.
Let's take a break.
I'll buy five bananas!
