Lights.

Let's Talk in English.
Hey, everyone, and welcome to LTE TV.
My name is Gabe.
And I am Andrea.
It is great to see you again today.
Gabe, do you see our students?
They all have such beautiful smiles.
That's right. You do have a beautiful smile.
That must be because you go to the dentist often.
It's very important to take care of your teeth.
It is important to take care of your teeth.
And that is the title of our lesson.
You want to brush your teeth every day with a good toothbrush.
If you have a toothache, go and make a visit to your dentist.
Well friends, we just used many of our key words.
You will see all of them in today's Read It and in our conversations.
So let's begin.
Everyone wants to have a nice smile.
And no one likes a toothache, especially when they eat!
We need to take care of our teeth and gums.
We know this, but sometimes we forget.
Or we are too busy.
Are you doing these things?
Brush your teeth two or three times a day.
Floss every day.
Get a new toothbrush every three or four months.
Plan regular visits to a dentist.
Well, let's see if Gabe takes good care of his teeth.
I'm going to ask him a few questions, and let's listen to his answers.
OK, Gabe, do you brush your teeth two or three times a day?
Um, I...
No. I see.
Brush them...
Do you floss every day?
I floss...
I guess not.
Do you get a new toothbrush every three or four months?
Yes. Yes, I... Yes, I do, Andrea.
Very good.
Do you plan regular visits to a dentist?
Do I plan regular visits to a dentist?
I met a dentist once.
He's a nice guy.
Gabe, Gabe, you did not do very well on this quiz.
You want to do these things so you keep having such a nice smile.
Oh, thanks, Andrea.
Yeah. I think most people want to have a nice smile.
And one thing to do to make sure you have a nice smile is by doing these things.
That is true.
And we want to talk about this key word.
smile.
It's nice to see a smile on someone's face.
Do you have a smile on your face right now?
I think I see many of your smiles.
You see a smile on someone's face when they are happy.
You see a smile on someone's face when they feel good.
That's right.
And you want to see a smile on someone's face.
You want to make them smile too.
So "smile" can be a noun, and it can also be a verb.
We can make someone smile.
Make them happy.
Say a joke.
You can make them smile.
They will show you their smile.
Well, our Read It says that everyone wants to have a nice smile.
That's true.
No one likes a toothache.
Well, let's talk about this key word.
toothache.
Now we already learned the word "tooth." You have teeth in your mouth.
You can see them when you smile.
But we see these letters A-C-H-E after "tooth." toothache.
A-C-H-E, ache means a pain.
If something aches, it hurts.
So a toothache is when your tooth hurts.
But there are other kinds of aches, right?
Maybe your back hurts. That's called a...
Backache.
Maybe your head hurts. That's called a...
Headache.
Maybe you ate something and your stomach hurts.
What's that called?
That is a stomachache.
Yes, we don't like it when our body aches.
So if you don't want a toothache, brush your teeth two or three times a day.
"Brush" is a key word.
When you brush your teeth, you are cleaning your teeth.
And what do you use to brush your teeth?
You use a toothbrush.
That is also a key word.
You use a toothbrush to brush your teeth.
But remember to get a new toothbrush every three or four or five or six... No,
every three or four months.
You got it.
OK, our last key word is "visit." Visit your dentist, or plan a regular visit to
your dentist.
When you plan a visit to your dentist, you go to the dentist, you make an
appointment, and you spend time with the dentist.
And he or she looks at your teeth.
So you can plan a visit.
You can visit somebody.
And if someone does visit you, you can say, "Thanks for paying me a visit." That
means thanks for visiting me.
Yeah. Or thanks for the visit.
So this word can also be a verb.
I visited my friend.
I had a nice visit with my friend.
Well, let's go and visit Christina.
(Chinese).
Ginger, what are you doing?
I'm smiling.
I have a nice smile.
Yes, you have a nice smile.
A nice smile is important.
Yeah.
Everyone wants one.
Yeah. But a toothache is bad.
Nobody wants one.
Ginger, do you... Um, how do you take care of your teeth and gums?
Oh, that's easy.
A banana a day keeps the dentist away.
Uh, no. You need to brush and floss every day.
Oh, brush and floss and get a new toothbrush.
Yes. And visit the dentist for regular checkups.
And eat bananas. A banana a day keeps the dentist away.
Ginger...
Ooh, and they taste good too! I want the banana.
I want the banana!
Let's practice our key words with a smile on your face.

So where are we going next, Gabe?
Where are we going next?
We are going to visit two people who brush their teeth regularly.
They visit the dentist every week.
Their names are the Word Brothers.
Let's go.
Hi, everyone. I'm Jim.
And I'm Tim. We're...
The Word Brothers.
We are similar.
But very different.
Yes, just likes some English words.
Right. For example, pair, P-A-I-R.
And pear, P-E-A-R.
These two words sound the same.
But they are very different.
The word pair, P-A-I-R, means two.
You can have a pair of shoes, a pair of gloves, or a pair of earrings.
Right. I have two feet, so I wear two shoes.
I wear a pair of shoes.
I have two hands, so I wear two gloves.
These gloves are a pair.
Our mom wears earrings.
She has two ears.
So she wears a pair of earrings.
Pair, P-A-I-R. This word is different from the other word "pear," P-E-A-R.
What's the difference?
A pear, P-E-A-R, is a kind of fruit.
Pears can be yellow, green, brown or red.
Pears are sweet.
I like to eat pears.
Do you?
I do.
All right, friends, pear.
And pair.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Tim.
And Jim saying...
Goodbye.
