Hello. And welcome back.
Now it is time for a wonderful part of the show that we call: I Know It!
I Know It!
Do you know it?
Good. Start thinking now about a key word because I'm going to describe a key
word.
I'm going to talk about it, and I want you to guess what it is, OK?
Good. Excellent.
All right.
The key word is... Oh, yes.
This is something bad.
This is something that you can't plan.
But it's something bad that happens.
And often we talk about this word when you are driving a car and...
I know it! Oh, I know it!
I know the key word, Gabe.
You know the key word?
Well, yes. The key word is "accident." Yes.
Of course, an accident is not good.
You can't plan it.
But sometimes they do happen.
And you just hope that everything will be OK.
That's right.
Now of course, we hope you don't get into any accidents.
They're not fun.
But we hope that you guessed that word.
You're doing a great job today.
Right now it's time for us to review.
What are you doing on Saturday, Amber?
I don't have any plans, Susie. Why?
Do you want to go biking?
Maybe. Where are you going?
We're going to bike around Pine Lake.
It's a great place to bike.
Who's going?
Rob, Ken, Lily and a few other friends.
How far is it around Pine Lake?
It's about 25 miles.
25 miles!
You can bike 25 miles. That's easy.
Is the path flat?
Yes. There is only one big hill.
I don't like to pedal up hills.
You'll be fine.
We won't go fast.
And we'll stop and rest.
That's good!
And the weather will be really nice on Saturday.
So when we bike, we'll get really hot!
We won't get too hot.
We'll stop and swim in the lake!
Fun!
Will everyone wear a helmet?
Of course. Helmets keep you safe.
Helmets are also hot.
Maybe. But they protect your head in an accident.
True. OK, I'd like to go with you.
That's great!
There's just one problem.
What's that?
I don't own a bike!
(Chinese).
Hi, everyone. I'm Jim.
And I'm Tim. We're...
The Word Brothers.
We are similar.
But very different.
Yes, just like some English words.
Right. For example, waist, W-A-I-S-T.
And waste, W-A-S-T-E.
These two words sound similar.
But they are very different.
Everyone has a waist, W-A-I-S-T.
Your waist is in the middle of your body.
Your waist is near your stomach.
The top of my pants goes around my waist.
If you are thin, you have a small waist.
If you are overweight, you might have a big waist.
My waist is small.
Jim's waist is big.
Hey! My waist is not too big.
I'm just kidding. Calm down.
OK, friends, let's look at our other word "waste," W-A-S-T-E.
Waste, W-A-S-T-E, is garbage.
People throw away waste.
They don't want it anymore.
Waste can also be a verb.
When you waste something, you don't use it carefully.
We can say: Don't waste water.
Or, don't waste time.
Do you understand?
OK, friends, waist.
And waste.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Tim.
And Jim saying...
Goodbye.
Calendar Phrase.
You'll be fine.
You'll be fine.
(Chinese).
I'm nervous.
This is my first time riding a motorcycle.
You'll be fine.
Motorcycles can be dangerous.
Don't worry. You'll be fine.
What if I fall off?
Don't worry. You'll be fine.
OK. I'm ready to ride.
Great. Let's put a coin in the machine.
And start the ride!
You'll be fine.
Hey! This is fun. Wow!
You'll be fine.
You'll be fine.
(Chinese).
Are you ready?
Are you ready to Answer It?
We have two questions for you.
Number one.
What doesn't Amber like to do?
Here it is again.
You will find the answer in today's lesson.
What doesn't Amber like to do?
Andrea, do you know the answer?
Well, yes. I do know the answer because I found it in today's lesson.
Yes, we found the answer in Conversation B.
Let's look at it together.
She doesn't like to pedal up hills.
Yes. Amber doesn't like to pedal up hills.
And of course, it's not easy to pedal up a hill, especially a very high hill.
Well, here is our next question.
Do you go biking? Where do you go?
Hey, Gabe, do you go biking?
And where do you go?
Well, I don't go biking often.
I want to go more because I have a bike.
But if I do go biking, I go with my friend Steve along the Jilong River.
It's very close to my house.
And it's quite beautiful.
It's very peaceful.
It's calming.
I like to go biking by the river.
Well, that's a great answer.
Thank you, Gabe.
And be sure to ask someone this question today.
And think about your own answer to this question as well.
We'll see you all again tomorrow right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
Go biking.
Go biking.
(Music).
