Let's Talk.
In English.
I am Andrea.
And my name is Gabe.
We're happy you could join us here for today's lesson on LTE TV.
Today's lesson is called Time Zones.
Time Zones.
Of course, all around the world there are different time zones.
The time is different here than it is in another country.
There are many time zones.
Where are you going to go?
If you go east, the time might change.
If you go west, the time might change.
You can move around the world, and you might need to remember to take your watch
and change your watch as you move.
But east and west and move and watch?
Well, these are key words from today's lesson.
Pay attention.
Listen carefully and you will know how to use them soon.
Right now open up your magazine and let's begin.
There are 24 different time zones in the world.
The time is different in each zone.
When you change time zones, you must change your watch.
Travel to a time zone east of you.
Move your watch ahead.
Travel to a time zone west of you.
Move your watch back.
You change your watch one hour for each time zone.
Change your watch one hour for each time zone.
Time... Oh, Andrea, do you have the time?
What time is it?
Uh... Well yes, I do.
But Gabe, don't you have a watch?
No, I... I don't have a watch.
That's why I'm asking you for the time.
Oh, so you're not wearing a watch.
But I'm wearing a watch.
Yes, you are.
But I do know what time it is.
It's time for us to talk about our key words.
Oh, you.
OK, let's talk about our key words.
And the first one is: watch.
You can use a watch to tell the time.
It tells you what time it is.
I'm not wearing a watch.
But most people wear watches right below their hands.
That's a wristwatch.
And Andrea is wearing a nice watch.
Well, thank you.
I do like this watch.
It's very special to me.
It's actually pretty old, but it still works.
So it's a good watch.
Now when you travel, you have to change your watch... change the time on your
watch if you go to a different time zone.
That's right.
There are many different time zones.
Zone is an area.
And there are 24 different time zones.
So if you are moving east, then you need to move your watch ahead.
Let's take a look at this key word.
east.
East is a direction.
There are four different directions: east, west, north and south.
I usually think of the countries in the east, like countries like China and
Japan, Thailand.
These are countries in the east.
And can you think of some countries that are in the west?
Canada and the United States are both in the west.
And "west" is also a key word today.
West is a direction, just like east.
East is the opposite of west.
Now you can use these words to talk about places that are near you.
That city is east of here.
Or, it is west of here.
So you use it with that word "of." What is east of you?
What is west of your city?
That's true.
And when you travel, think about where you are traveling to, and if you are
going east or west.
If you're going east, you have to move your watch ahead.
Let's talk about this key word.
move.
When you move something, it goes from one place to another place.
When you move your watch, you move the hands of your watch for one number to
another number.
So you can move the hands of your watch.
Or you can move something in your room.
If you don't like the way things look, you can move them around a little bit.
I like to do that.
Move things around.
Well, we have one more key word here.
It is: back.
Our lesson says move your watch back if you travel west.
If you go back, that means you are going to what it was before, or you go to an
hour earlier.
You move it back.
So if the time is 5:00, and you move your watch back an hour...
That's right.
What time should you move your watch to?
You should move your watch to 4:00.
You got it. Good job.
Thank you. Thank you.
You're doing a great job too, friends.
Right now it's time for us to continue learning with Christina.
(Chinese).
Go ahead. Give it a try.
Mr. Monkey Man, I need to get a watch.
Ginger, you already have a watch.
How many watches do you need?
I need 24 watches.
24 watches? What for?
I need a different watch for each time zone.
No, you don't.
When you travel, just change your watch.
Huh? Put on a different watch? Yeah.
No, no. Change the time on your watch.
Oh. But I don't know how.
Remember this:
Travel east, move your watch ahead.
East, move my watch...
Ahead.
Travel west, move your watch back.
West, move my watch uh...
Back.
Oh. See you later.
Where are you going?
To buy 23 more watches.
OK, let's review our key words.
The first one is: watch.

My watch says 5:00.

Walk east on this road. Then you can find my house.

Go west, not east!

Move your watch back. The time is 10:00, not 11:00.
Well, I know what time it is right now.
It is time for the Word Brothers.
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.
For example, wait, W-A-I-T.
And weight, W-E-I-G-H-T.
These two words sound the same.
But they are very different.
Wait, W-A-I-T, means to stay some place until something happens.
We spend a lot of time waiting, don't we?
We do.
We wait for the bus.
We wait to see the doctor.
We wait in line at the grocery store.
Oh, wait, Jim. Hold on.
What's wrong?
Wait.
Tim, what are we doing?
What am I waiting for?
Oh, nothing.
I just wanted to practice using the word wait.
Tim, stop wasting time!
Can you please tell everyone about the other weight, W-E-I-G-H-T?
OK. Weight, W-E-I-G-H-T is how heavy something is.
People often talk about their weight.
This is how heavy their body is.
Some people are overweight.
That means they weigh too much.
Other people are underweight.
They weigh too little.
weight.
OK, friends, wait.
And weight.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Tim.
And Jim saying...
Goodbye.
