Let's Talk in English.
That's right, Let's Talk in English.
That's the name of our show.
We're so glad you joined us.
I'm Andrea.
And my name is Gabriel.
Gabriel?
Well, yes.
That's... that's nice to hear Gabriel or Gabe.
OK, today we are "Going to the Gym." Well, we're not actually going to the gym.
But that is the title of today's lesson.
Now do you go to a gym?
Are you a member at a gym?
Well, some people think going to the gym is necessary.
It's a great place to exercise or work out.
You can lift weights.
You can use exercise machines.
You can even play basketball at a gym.
Well, we are going to the gym in today's lesson.
And we are going to learn about our key words and a lot more.
So let's begin.
Hi, Rob. What's wrong?
Why are you walking funny?
I'm sore. My muscles hurt.
Why? What have you been doing?
Well, I joined Gino's Gym last week.
Good for you!
Getting regular exercise is necessary for good health.
I know. Exercise is good for me.
But I don't feel very good right now!
You must be exercising too much.
Well, our friend Rob has a problem in conversation A.
What is wrong with Rob?
Why is he walking funny?
Gabe, can you help us?
Of course I can help you with this.
I know the answer to this question.
Why is Rob walking funny?
Because, Andrea, he was exercising and he got really, really sore.
That's why he is walking funny.
Uh Gabe, why are you walking funny?
I... I'm walking funny?
Yes.
Oh. Right. Um, I'm sorry.
I didn't know I was walking funny.
But it helps to see someone walk funny, so you know how to talk about someone
who is walking funny.
I see. Well, thank you, Gabe.
It's true. If you exercise a lot and have sore muscles, then you might walk
funny.
Well, Rob joined Gino's Gym last week.
And please join us as we look at that key word.
gym.
Now a gym is a place that you can go to to exercise.
There are many different ways that you can exercise at a gym.
Do you like to exercise at a gym, or do you like to exercise outside?
How often do you go to the gym?
At a gym you work out.
That's what it's called when you exercise at a gym.
You work out at a gym.
Well, getting regular exercise is necessary for good health.
We see that right in our conversation.
And it's necessary for us to talk about this key word.
necessary.
If something is necessary, you must do it.
You don't have a choice.
It is necessary.
Getting regular exercise is necessary for good health.
Eating fruits and vegetables is necessary.
What else is necessary in life?
Well, practicing English every day is necessary to improve your English.
That's right.
Well, I say we continue with Conversation B.
We have many ways to improve.
That's true.
Yes, this is necessary.
It is.
It's a necessary conversation.
I've been to the gym every day this week.
Every day? You need to take a day off.
Maybe so.
What do you do at the gym?
Well, I lift weights, and I use the exercise machines.
I also play basketball.
You've done that every day this week?
Yes. I spend about two hours at the gym after work.
No wonder you're sore!
I'm just lifting a hand weight right here, doing some exercise.
Well, that's very good, Andrea.
Thank you.
Your hand weight looks nice.
You know, I have a weight in my hand too.
And it's pretty heavy.
Uh Gabe, that's not a weight.
This is a weight.
My weight is bigger than your little weight.
Wait. OK, so you think that because your weight is bigger, that it's heavier?
Well, let's just see about that.
Here, you take this weight, Andrea.
I'll take that weight.
Well, OK.
OK.
OK.
This will be easy.
Yeah, no problem. Wait.
Oh.
Oh. OK.
That weight is heavier.
Well, just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
Yeah.
Here, I'll take that weight.
OK.
Thank you.
OK.
Friends, we do have a key word we want to talk about.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Yes, the key word is "weight." I am holding some weights right here.
You will see weights at a gym.
And you use weights to exercise.
They are heavy.
They are heavy, yes.
When you lift weights or use hand weights, you exercise your hands, your arms,
or different parts of your body.
So you can go to a gym and lift weights, or you can use an exercise machine.
That's right, an exercise machine.
Now a machine is something that takes different parts to use.
And a machine at a gym, a weight machine, will use this kind of weight.
There are different kinds of exercise machines.
Yes, some exercise machines look like bicycles.
And you can go biking on that kind of exercise machine.
So you can lift weights, you can use a machine at a gym, or you can play
basketball.
That's right, basketball.
Well, I don't have room for a basketball here.
But basketball is a fun sport.
Do you like to play basketball?
If you do, maybe you could lift some weights.
It will help you get stronger so you can play basketball better.
That is true.
Well, whatever you enjoy doing - lifting weights, climbing stairs, playing
basketball - it's always a good idea to exercise.
Now let's keep learning with our Read It.

But sometimes people exercise too much.
Then they feel sore.
