Now it's time for Two...
In One.
Where we put two key words...
Into one sentence. Yep. It's good.
OK. That... that was pretty good.
All right. Well, today we have great key words.
We are going to put two of them into one sentence. OK.
Please stay on the path when you walk through the forest.
Please stay on the path... That's one key word.
When you walk through the forest.
Another key word.
Very good. Very good, Andrea.
Do you think that I can also come up with a good sentence?
I know that you can, Gabe.
OK. Well, here I go.
Let's see. Um... Oh.
Walk slowly so you don't frighten the penguins.
Good! That's very good.
A penguin is a kind of bird.
And today we're talking about bird-watching.
But the two key words you used were "slowly" and "frighten." Walk slowly so you
don't frighten the penguins.
Yes, very good.
And uh, I know that you can come up with a sentence as well.
Think of two key words and use them in one sentence.
Well, it's time for us to review.
Hey, Carol, do you know anything about bird-watching?
Sure. I go bird-watching sometimes.
What do you want to know?
Do I need binoculars?
Yes, binoculars really help.
Then you can see the birds up close.
Yes! I want to get close to them!
Then you must move slowly and quietly.
You don't want to frighten them.
Where should I go to watch birds?
Go to a forest or nature park.
You'll see many different kinds of birds.
Great. Then what?
Stay on the paths and watch for birds in the trees.
I see.
Why are you asking about bird-watching?
I have a friend. She really loves birds.
And you want to take her bird-watching?
Yes.
Have fun!
Do you enjoy nature? Do you like birds?
Then try bird-watching! Here's how.
1. Go to a forest or nature park.
You can see many different kinds of birds there.
2. Move slowly and quietly so you don't frighten the birds.
3. Use binoculars so you can see the birds up close.
4. Stay on the park paths.
This keeps the area nice so everyone can enjoy it.
Monkey Man, why do you have binoculars?
Shh... Move slowly and quietly.
Why do you have binoculars?
I'm bird-watching.
Bird-watching in the Jungle Cafe?
Yes. Shh... Don't frighten the birds.
Ah. What kind of birds can you see in the Jungle Cafe?
Jungle birds, of course.
Oh, yeah. Well, keep looking.
Oh... Look! Look! I see one!
Oh, you see a bird?
Yeah, it's a big jungle bird.
It's very interesting.
Really? What is it doing?
The bird is watching me.
Hey, I want to see too.
Really!
Does it have little binoculars?
Funny.
No.
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, where, W-H-E-R-E.
And wear, W-E-A-R.
These two words can sound similar.
But they are very different.
Right.
People use the word "where," W-H-E-R-E, to ask about a place.
Uh huh. We can ask someone: Where do you live?
We want to know the place where that person lives.
The answer may be a city, or it might be a country or a neighborhood.
Or, if we are walking and we get lost, I can ask: Where are we?
Yeah, where are we?
Now, "where," W-H-E-R-E, can sound like "wear," W-E-A-R.
But the two words are very different.
We wear things, W-E-A-R, on our bodies.
Yes. I am wearing a hat.
I am also wearing a shirt and pants.
My brother is wearing glasses.
What are you wearing right now?
What do you like to wear?
I like to wear this T-shirt.
It has a "T" on it.
"T" is for Tim.
Very nice, Tim.
OK, friends, where.
And wear.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Tim.
And Jim saying...
Goodbye.

Let's review some of what we learned today with our Answer It questions.
Here is number one.
Why is Rob asking about bird-watching?
We found the answer in our lesson.
Why is Rob asking about bird-watching?
And I know the answer.
It was in Conversation B.
Rob wants to take a friend bird-watching.
Well, we have another question for you.
Do you ever go bird-watching? Why or why not?
Do you ever go bird-watching? Why or why not?
Um, Andrea, do you have an answer for us?
Well, yes, I do.
Yes?
I have only been bird-watching once.
But I would like to go bird-watching again.
I think it's very interesting to watch birds.
And there are so many different kinds of birds.
Birds have different colors, and they are different sizes, and they're just
beautiful.
I think bird-watching is very interesting.
Don't you, Gabe?
Wait... Andrea, look! Over there!
Where?
Look!
It's a bird!
Well... well, maybe that's not a bird, is it?
Oh. That was just a little... a little moth.
Well, it is fun to go bird-watching.
You might see some things besides birds when you go bird-watching.
Good luck next time you go bird-watching.
And of course, we will see you right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Next time.
Goodbye.
