It's time for Two...
In One.
The part of our show where we put two key words...
In one sentence.
That's right, Two in One.
OK, here we go.
I'm thinking of today's key words.
OK.
I hope you are thinking of them too.
Two in One. OK.

Hey!
I am interested in meeting people to practice English with.
Did you hear the key words?
That's right, "interested" and "meet." Excellent. Excellent.
Now let's see. What is my sentence?
Two in One.
Uh, yes. OK.
Pam loves several subjects at school.
Oh, yeah!

Subjects... That's also a key word.
At school.
OK. Good job, Gabe.
Thank you. Thank you.
I think we had pretty good Two in One's.
And I'm sure that yours will be even better.
Now let us review.
Hi, Ken.
Hi, Lily. Are you going to Rob's party on Friday?
No, I can't. I'm busy.
Rob invited a lot of people.
But I don't know many of them.
Then you can meet new people.
What can I talk to them about?
I'm not very good at small talk.
You can talk to them about several things.
Ask about their family, work or school.
That's good. What else?
Ask about their interests.
I can ask, "What do you like to do?".
Sure. Or, "What are you interested in?".
That's good.
Someone might like the same subjects as you.
Then I can talk to that person for a long time.
Have fun on Friday!
Thanks!

Let's Answer It!
It's good to answer some questions to help us review and remember some of the
things we learn today.
Now here is question number one.
Why can't Lily go to Rob's party?
Hmm, that's too bad.
Lily can't go to Rob's party.
But why?
Can you answer it?
Gabe, can you answer it?
Yes. Yes, I can.
Why can't Lily go to Rob's party?
The answer was in Conversation A.
Lily is busy on Friday.
That's too bad.
I guess Rob should have another party sometime soon.
Well, here is question number two.
What subjects do you talk about with new people?
Let me say that again.
What subjects do you talk about with new people?
So, I think Andrea meets new people often.
What subjects do you talk about?
This is a good question.
What subjects do I talk about when I meet new people?
Well, I often talk about family.
When I meet someone new, I find out about their family.
And we also often talk about jobs.
So family and jobs are two subjects that I often talk about when I meet new
people.
Well, that's a great answer.
And there are many different subjects that you could talk about when you meet
new people.
This is a great way to practice your English.
You're doing a great job.
And of course, we hope to see you next time right here on...
