Let's Talk in English.
Hey, everyone, and welcome to LTE TV.
I am Gabe.
And I am Andrea.
Thank you for joining us again today here at LTE TV.
Well OK, Gabe uh, let's walk.
Let's walk.
Mmhm. Walking, walking.
We're walking, we're walking.
Let's walk, let's walk.
Let's talk, let's talk.
Let's walk, let's walk.
Let's talk, let's talk.
In English.
In English! That's it!
Yes, let's walk as we talk in English.
The title of our lesson today is Let's Walk!
We can walk and we can talk and we can have a lot of fun.
We'll learn about words like walk, time, mile, drive, stairs.
And we'll learn a lot more too.
So please open today's magazine, find our lesson, and let's walk.
Do you exercise, Lily?
I do, Amber. How about you?
I do. I walk a lot. It's good exercise.
It is. I walk a lot too.
And it's easy. You can walk every day.
Yes. You can walk to many places.
I walk to the supermarket sometimes.
It's near my house.
"I walk a lot." That's what Amber says.
I walk a lot.
And then Lily says, "I walk a lot too." Let's try using these phrases, Gabe.
I exercise a lot.
Well, I exercise a lot too.
I read a lot.
You do? Well, I read a lot too.
You know, I sleep a lot.
Oh, I sleep a lot too.
Let's see. I eat fried chicken a lot.
Oh. You do?
Oh well, yeah.
I... I don't eat fried chicken a lot.
Oh. Well um... Neither do I.
OK. All right..
It's OK, Gabe. It's OK to eat fried chicken.
That's OK.
Well, we can use this phrase.
I do something a lot.
I do something a lot too.
You can use that word "too" at the end if you do the same thing as the other
person.
That's right.
I agree with you, Andrea.
And I know you agree with yourself too.
Well friends, we do have a key word here.
It is the word "walk." Are you walking right now?
Probably not.
If you're enjoying Let's Talk in English, you're probably watching TV or
listening to the radio.
But you can walk while listening to Let's Talk in English on your MP3.
That's true. And you can walk every day.
In our conversation, Lily says, "You can walk to many places." Well, let's think
about some places that you can walk to.
You can walk to the mall.
You can walk to work.
Or you can walk to the bus stop.
You can walk to the restaurant. It's close by.
You can walk to the hospital.
But I hope you're feeling OK.
I hope you don't need to go to the hospital.
And we can walk over to Conversation B right now, can't we?
That's right. Let's walk.
Let's walk. Let's go. Conversation B.
I exercise every day.
Do you walk every day?
Yes. I walk five times a week.
And I usually walk about two miles.
Good for you.
I walk in the park sometimes.
But I only walk in nice weather!
I know. Walking in bad weather isn't fun.
I walk in the mall in rainy weather!
Great idea!
Well, good job, Amber!
We found out about Amber today.
Now Andrea, how often does Amber exercise?
Well, we find out that she walks five times a week.
She walks five times a week.
And how long does she walk each time?
Well, she usually walks about two miles.
Well, she walks a lot.
She does walk a lot.
That is good exercise.
And we just used two good key words here: time and mile.
Amber said, "I walk five times a week." That means she doesn't just go once, she
doesn't go twice, not three times, not four times.
Five times a week.
She does this at five different times.
Right. Well, let's use this phrase in another way.
Most people eat three times a day.
I brush my teeth two times a day.
I brush my teeth in the morning, and I brush them at night.
So I brush them two times a day.
I go swimming four times a week.
Or I want to go swimming four times a week.
Yes, it's true.
We should try to be good at exercising.
And Amber is.
She walks five times a week.
And she walks two miles each time.
"Mile" is another key word.
A mile is a distance.
It's longer than a kilometer.
That's true.
Now if you are in the United States, you will hear this word a lot.
You might hear:
The city is five miles from here.
Or, I like to run five miles a day.
But if you are in other countries, you might hear the word "kilometer" more
often.
That's right. Kilometer or kilometer.
But in the U.S., many people use "miles." And if you are driving,
you can see a sign that says you're only supposed to drive this many miles per
hour.
Well, later Amber says that walking in bad weather isn't fun.
Something isn't fun.
You can use this phrase in other ways.
Going on a picnic when it's raining hard isn't fun.
Being late for work isn't fun.
Oh, no. Your boss yelling at you because you're late for work isn't fun.
But learning English is fun, right?
Yes, it is.
And we're going to continue with Conversation C.
Do you walk to work?
Sometimes I do. But sometimes I drive.
I drive too.
Work is about five miles from my house.
I see.
But I always walk up the stairs in my apartment building.
I live on the second floor.
That's a good idea. But I don't do that.
Why not?
I live on the 10th floor!
Amber starts our conversation with a question.
She says, "Do you walk to work?" Lily says, "Sometimes I do. But sometimes I
drive." Sometimes I do. But sometimes I drive.
Well, let's ask Gabe this question.
Hey, Gabe.
Yes?
Do you walk to work?
Uh, sometimes I do.
But sometimes I ride my scooter.
Oh, OK.
Well, let's use this question in another way.
Gabe, do you eat out at restaurants?
Hmm, good question.
Sometimes I do.
But sometimes I make my own lunch.
Sounds good.
Well, this is a good question and answer phrase that you can practice.
And we can look at our key word now.
It is "drive." Now when you drive a car,
that means you are in the car, and you are making the car move the way you want
it to.
When you drive the car, you are in control.
When you ride in a car, you are not.
Then you are a passenger.
Do you know how to drive a car?
If you know how to drive, you should drive carefully.
Be careful when you drive your car.
Now if you have a motorcycle or a scooter, you use another word.
You use the word "ride." I am riding my scooter.
Right. You ride your scooter, ride your motorcycle.
You also ride your bicycle.
Well, we found out that Amber also drives to work.
She says, "I drive too." There we see that word "too" again.
She says, "Work is about five miles from my house." But she always walks up the
stairs in her apartment building to get exercise.
Let's talk about this key word.
stairs.
Now if you want to go from one floor to another floor in a building, you can
take the stairs.
You can walk up the stairs or walk down the stairs.
And you can say, "I'm walking up the stairs," or "I'm climbing the stairs." Now
this word always has an S on the end.
If you just want to talk about one, that is a step, S-T-E-P.
One step or many stairs.
It's a good idea to take the stairs.
Now let's go and see the Monkey Man and Ginger.
You know, Ginger, walking is good exercise.
Yes, and walking is easy.
So why don't we go for a walk right now?
Right now?
Hmm, right now. We can walk in the park.
No. I only walk outside in nice weather.
Well, we can walk in the mall.
No. The mall is too crowded to walk.
I know! We can walk to the grocery store.
No. I don't want to go to the...
And buy some bananas.
Do you have your wallet?
Yes.
What are we waiting for?
Let's take a walk.
Come on!
It is time to review our key words together.
