Let's Talk...
In English.
My name is Gabe.
And my name is Andrea.
We are glad you joined us right here on LTE TV.
Now what's happening?
Yes, well, what's happening?
What's Happening?
That is the title of today's lesson.
So what's happening in our lesson?
Well, we will see.
We'll follow the story in today's lesson.
We hope that we can complete the lesson and learn all the key words and use them
in a correct way.
Friends, we know that you can do that.
I just used some of the key words.
But you will see all of our key words in our Read It and in today's
conversations.
So what's happening?
Well, it's time to begin.
Let's go.
People find the most up-to-date news online.
News stories appear almost as soon as things happen.
People like to follow news stories online because updates are posted often.
But sometimes stories are posted too fast.
They aren't always complete, and facts aren't always correct.
This is especially true for news about crime.
Newspapers and blogs post the first things they hear about the crime.
And then they have to correct the story in updates.
People find the most up-to-date news online.
Do you like to be up-to-date?
Do you want to know news that is happening right now?
Well, then maybe you should check the news online.
News stories appear almost as soon as things happen.
Well, a key word just appeared in our Read It.
Let's talk about it.
appear.
appear.
Now if something appears, that means you can see it or you can read it.
You can know about it when it appears.
And maybe you are by yourself.
But then you look up, and your friend is there.
You can say your friend just appeared.
You didn't see him coming.
But now he's right next to you.
He appeared.
He appeared almost like out of nowhere.
You can use this phrase.
If something appears out of nowhere, that means you don't know where it came
from.
But there it is.
Now you can see it.
It appeared out of nowhere.
Yes. I often think of that when I'm reading a story or reading an article to
find mistakes.
I read it again and again, and I see nothing wrong.
And then suddenly, a mistake appears.
And I'm like, where did that come from?
You didn't see it before.
It was there, but you didn't see it.
And so it appeared, or it seems like it appeared.
That's true.
Well, news appears almost as soon as it happens.
People like to follow stories online because updates are posted often.
Well, let's follow along with this key word now.
It is: follow.
When you follow something, that means you want to know more about it.
When you follow news stories, you want to know what happened and what is going
to happen.
If you are telling a story or you're telling people about something, and you
want to make sure they understand, you can ask this question:
Are you following me?
That means do you understand me?
You can say, "Do you follow?" That means do you understand me?
So you can use this word in these ways.
I... I don't follow what you're saying, Gabe.
Andrea, you don't understand?
Um, here, let me explain a little better.
Are you following me when I say we need to talk about the next key word?
Yes, I... I follow you.
I understand what you are saying.
Excellent.
And our next key word is "complete." complete.
If something is complete, that means it is finished.
If the story is complete, there's nothing more to say.
But sometimes news stories are not complete.
There is more to say.
Sometimes facts are not correct.
"Correct" is another key word.
If it is correct, it's right.
There's nothing wrong with it.
There's nothing wrong with it.
Let's look at our next key word.
It is "especially." It's a long word, so let's say it again: especially.
Now we use this word to talk about something that means "very," like: I like all
fruits, especially apples.
So that means I like apples a little bit more than other fruits.
Now Gabe, is it correct in English to say "I very like to play baseball"?
Oh, no... You cannot say "I very like to do something." You should say: I like
to do something very much.
Or you can say "I especially like baseball." Do you follow me?
I am following you, Andrea.
I understand.
And we are running out of time.
It's time for us to look at another key word here - the word "crime." Crime is
something bad like stealing or killing, things that the government says are
really bad.
That is a crime.
Mmhm. There's... there are many things that I don't like.
I especially do not like crime.
But we do need to learn how to use this word.
Well, let's go and see Christina.
We hope you follow what she says.
Hi, everyone. I'm Christina.
(Chinese).
Hey, Monkey Man, what are you doing?
I'm reading the news.
But you're not reading a newspaper.
No, I'm not.
And you're not watching the news on TV.
No, I'm not.
Sometimes I follow news stories online.
Online? Why follow news online?
Because updates are posted often.
Ooh, that's good.
Yes. But updates are not always complete.
Ooh, that's bad.
And the facts are not always correct.
Oh, oh, that's very bad.
But following online is fast and fun.
Oh, that's good.
Can I follow the news online too?
Sure. Oh, look at this.
Oh, it's about monkeys.
Maybe.
Please follow us as we review our key words.
The first one is: appear.

Several new people appeared in the room. Where did they come from?
