It is time to play a game that we like to call: I Know It!
I Know It!
Do you know it?
Yes? OK.
You know how to play this game.
I will talk about one of our key words.
And when you know which word I'm talking about, you should say, "I know it!" OK,
here we go.
Now this is something that you can use while you are eating.
You might find this on the dinner table.
When you are full and finish eating, you can use this to wipe your face or wipe
area close to your...
I know it! I know it!
Your mouth.
I know the answer, Andrea.
You... Wait, you... you already know the answer?
I already know the answer because you described it so well.
You use a napkin to do all of those things.
You use a napkin to wipe your mouth and make sure your face is clean, right?
You are right.
Good job, Gabe.
Now do you have one for me?
I do. I do.
OK, you do this with food so that people don't reach across the table.
You take your food and do this...
I know it!
Yes?
You pass the food.
Yes, you are right.
You pass the food from yourself to the other person.
Well friends, you can play this game sometime today.
Try it in English.
I know you will do well.
Right now it's time for us to review our lesson.
Carol, can you help me?
I'm making a list of good and bad table manners.
You are? Why?
I want to teach my younger sister some table manners.
Oh, OK.
Here's one rule: Don't talk with your mouth full.
Yes, I have that one.
Chew with your mouth closed.
And use your napkin to clean your face.
I'll put those on my list too.
I know another rule.
Don't reach across the table.
Right! Ask others to pass you things.
My sister always reaches for things at the dinner table!
And some people pick their teeth at the table.
Oh, that is rude!
I'll tell my sister not to do that!
Will your sister follow these rules?
I hope so!
Good table manners are important.
Follow these rules, and you'll have a great meal!
1. Chew your food with your mouth closed.
2. Don't talk with your mouth full.
3. Don't reach across the table.
Ask someone to pass things to you.
4. Don't pick your teeth at the table.
Go to the bathroom to check your teeth.
5. Use your napkin, not your shirt, to clean your face.

Well, some table manners that are important to us are not talking with your
mouth full.

But when you have a lot of food in your mouth, maybe don't talk.
Another table manner that is important is not having your feet or your elbows on
the table.
Well, that is really, really good.
