Let's Talk...
In English.
I'm Gabe.
And I'm Andrea.
We are so glad you joined us for another day of learning together.
And we are still talking about your body.
Today the title of our lesson is: Take Care of Your Body.
It's important to use your muscles to exercise, so you can lift things with ease
and not have any pain.
It's important to stretch your muscles to keep them healthy and strong.
Now, I just talked about a lot of things already.
But don't worry.
You will see all of these key words in today's lesson.
We will talk about them together.
You will read them in your Read It and the conversations.
And then you will be ready to use them.
So open your magazines and let's begin.
After you exercise a lot or lift heavy things, you might feel sore.
How can you ease the pain?
1. Put ice on your sore muscles or swim in cool water.
This will help you have less swelling.
2. Take a walk and warm up your muscles.
Then stretch them.
3. Eat bananas.
A mineral in bananas really helps your muscles.
4. If your muscles are still sore after a few days, then use heat.
We are learning how to take care of our bodies.
And our Read It begins by saying: After you exercise a lot or lift heavy things,
you might feel sore.
How can you ease the pain?
How can you take care of your body when it's feeling sore?
Well, let's start with our first key word here.
It is: exercise.
Say it with me.
exercise.
Now when you exercise, you move your body.
I like to exercise.
I like to move my body and keep it healthy and strong.
I think exercising is fun.
It's important to exercise.
There are many different ways to exercise.
Maybe you like to go running.
Maybe you like to go hiking up the mountain.
Maybe you like swimming.
I like swimming a lot.
That is a great way to exercise.
But if you exercise, you might feel sore.
Your muscles might not feel good.
And if you lift heavy things, that also might make you feel sore.
Well, let's look at this verb, "lift." It's a key word.
When you lift something, you take it from a lower place to a higher place.
You can lift your bag from the floor up to your back.
Or you lift a baby from the floor into your arms.
But if you lift heavy things, you might feel sore.
How do you ease the pain?
Let's look at this key word.
ease.
If you ease the pain, that means you take away some of the pain.
You make it easier for your body to deal with the pain.
One way to ease the pain is to put ice on sore muscles.
"Ice" is a key word.
When water becomes very, very cold and it doesn't move anymore, it turns to ice.
Now you can put ice in a drink to make it cold.
Or put ice on your sore... sore muscles to ease the pain.
Something else you can do to ease the pain is to stretch.
Yes, you can stretch your muscles.
You can stretch your arms.
Stretch your legs.
There are different ways to stretch the muscles in your body.
And that can help to ease the pain.
And if ice doesn't help your muscles, you can use heat.
Heat is something that is hot.
We get heat from the sun or heat from a machine to make a room warm.
Well, let's keep learning now with Christina.
(Chinese).
Oh... My muscles are sore.
Did you exercise or lift something heavy?
Yes, I was swinging and jumping and lifting heavy bananas.
Hmm, I know how to ease the pain.
Oh, tell me! Tell me!
Put ice on your sore muscles or swim in the cool river.
I like swimming.
Warm up your muscles and stretch them.
Stretch. Stretch. Stretch.
Eat bananas.
Really? I love bananas.
I know! And if your muscles are still sore after a few days...
Eat more bananas.
No. Use heat.
And eat more bananas.
I didn't say that.
Well, I think we should eat more bananas.
Heat.

Well friends, right now it's time for us to take a Commercial Break.
Hi, my name is Biffy McBuff.
I exercise every day because it makes me feel good. Yeah.
But sometimes I exercise too much, and I feel a little sore.
Why do I feel sore?
Because my muscles are working very hard. Yeah.
My muscles are very important to me.
They help me lift heavy things, run very fast, and let me look very handsome.
Everyone has muscles.
And you need to take care of them.
Take my advice and always stretch your muscles before and after exercise.
Use ice or cold water to help your sore muscles relax.
And before you go to bed, always eat a banana.
Bananas taste good, and they are good for your muscles.
If you want great muscles like me, then listen to my advice.
I'm Biffy McBuff.
