Well, it's time for a uh, a Key Word...
Story.
Yep. This is the part of our show where we put today's key words into...
Story.
A...
A story.
A story.
Yeah, a story.
A story.
Not... not just a story, but a wonderful story.
A story that makes us think.
A story that has...
Story.
Story, and has all of our...
Key words.
Key words.
OK. Well, Gabe and I are going to tell you our Key Word Story.
Todd went to the bank today.
He deposited a check into his account.
And then he used his credit card to buy a car.
And then he had to pay a really expensive bill.
He tried to pay his bill with cash, but he didn't have enough.
And he doesn't have enough in his bank account either.
Andrea, Todd wasn't very smart.
No, he... he wasn't very smart.
Hmm.
But I'm sure that we can all learn from this story.
Yes. Be wise with your money.
Well friends, I think now it's time for us to review today's lesson.
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.
(Chinese).
I'm back.
Hey, Bill. How was your vacation to Hawaii?
Oh, it was... Excuse me... amazing.
Did you do anything special while you were there?
Oh, yeah. I did a lot every day.
Mountain climbing, fishing and swimming.
Oh, I did everything.
Everything except rest.
It sounds like you didn't rest much.
You had a vacation, but why...
Why aren't you... Why can't you...
Why don't you...
Why didn't you rest when you were on vacation?
Super Sentence Man?
Yes, I am Super Sentence Man.
And the sentence for today is:
Why didn't you do something when you did something else?
Like this:

Excellent!
Now can you give me one of your own super sentences?

Great question!
Now Bill, do you have a super sentence for me?
Bill? Bill! You are sleeping?
A lazy super sentence student.
Well Sarah, do you have another super sentence for me?
OK.
Why didn't you tell me when you visited my city?
Why didn't you tell me when you visited my city?
A super question!
Now what super sentence do your need for your lazy, sleeping friend?
Bill! Bill! Hey, Bill!
Huh? What's wrong?
Why didn't you rest when you were on vacation?
Rest? Vacation?
Oh, I need a vacation!
Well, it's OK, Sarah.

A super sentence every day will make your English great.

Let's Answer It!
Here is question number one.
How does Amber pay her credit card bill?
We found the answer in today's lesson.
I'll give you the question one more time.
How does Amber pay her credit card bill?
Well, the answer was in Conversation B.
Do you remember?
Amber pays her credit card bill online.
Excellent!
OK, here's question number two.
Do you go to the bank? What do you do there?
OK.
Do you go to the bank? What do you do there?
Andrea, do you go to the bank?
Well, yes, I do go to the bank once in a while.
But I don't go to the bank very often.
I usually get money that I need from an ATM.
And ATMs are all over the city.
So I don't need to go to the bank.
And I also do a lot of my banking online.
But I know it's good to... to go to the bank once in a while.
That's right.
It's good to go and see if anything has changed, especially if you haven't been
in a while.
Well friends, how will you answer these questions?
Right now it's time for us to say bye-bye.
But we will see you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
