Lights.

Let's Talk in English.
Hi, everyone, and welcome to our show.
My name is Andrea.
And my name is Gabe.
And the name of our lesson is: Go to the Dentist!
Yes. If your teeth are giving you problems, then you should go and visit the
dentist.
How often?
Should you go once a month?
Should you go once a year?
Well, today we're going to talk a little bit about this.
We also have some key words to talk about, like dentist or month or tooth.
So we're going to learn these and many more in our Read It paragraph.
So open up your magazines and let's begin.
Do you go to the dentist?
Do you get regular checkups?
Some people go to a dentist once every six months.
This is good.
A dentist might find small problems with your teeth.
He can fix the problems.
Then they don't become big problems.
Other people don't go to the dentist for years.
Do you have a problem with a tooth?
Does it really hurt?
Then make a dentist appointment.
Go today, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Don't wait!
Don't wait.
Yes, that is good advice.
Don't wait.
If your teeth are giving you problems, if it starts to hurt, don't wait.
Go today.
Go the day after today... that's tomorrow.
Go the day after tomorrow.
But don't wait too long to go to the dentist.
That is true. Don't wait too long if your teeth hurt.
Go. You don't want to wait when your teeth hurt.
So where should you go?
You should go and see the dentist.
And we should talk about this key word.
dentist.
A dentist is a doctor who knows about teeth.
You go and see a dentist when you have something wrong with your teeth, or if
you just want to make sure your teeth are OK.
Do you go to the dentist?
How often do you visit your dentist?
It's very important to make sure that your teeth are OK.
And the dentist can let you know.
Do you have a dentist that you see regularly?
Or do you go to different dentists every time?
Andrea, what's a better idea, to try out different dentists all the time, or to
go to the same dentist?
I think it's better to go to the same dentist.
That dentist will know the history of your teeth.
They have your records.
They write down different things that happen at each of your appointment.
So it's good to see the same dentist.
But if you do have to go to a new dentist, be sure to take your information from
your old dentist with you.
That's good advice.
Well friends, we have another key word here.
month.
There are twelve months in a year.
Do you know them all in English?
Let's say them together.
We have January.
February.
March.
April.
May.
June.
July.
August.
September.
October.
December.
Oh, wait. I mean November.
October, November...
And then...
December.
Good. That's excellent.
Well, at least I remember what "month" means.
Do you know how to use this word, friends?
What month is it now?
What month is your birthday in?
When were you born?
We are now in the month of May.
Our next key word is: tooth.
tooth.
If one of your teeth hurt, if you have a problem with a tooth, who do you go and
see?
You go and see the dentist.
Your teeth are in your mouth.
One tooth, but two or more teeth.
And when you talk about brushing your teeth, you always say brush your teeth.
Don't say, "I'm going to brush my tooth," unless you only have one tooth.
We always brush our teeth.
Right now we have one more key word to talk about.
It's three words.
day after tomorrow.
Or, the day after tomorrow.
So it's not tomorrow, but it's the day after tomorrow.
What is the day after tomorrow?
It's two days from now.
So today is Wednesday.
Yes.
So what is the day after tomorrow?
The day after tomorrow is Friday, right?
You got it.
That's right. So the day after tomorrow.
Friends, right now it's time for us to continue learning something with
Christina.
(Chinese).
Ginger! Ginger! Where are you?
I'm hiding.
Ginger, come out right now.
It's time to go to the dentist.
That's why I'm hiding.
I don't want to go to the dentist.
Ginger, I want you to go to the dentist every six months.
I want to go every six years.
Ginger, it's important.
The dentist might find a problem with your teeth.
That's why I don't want to go.
The dentist can fix the problem...
No, no no!
... before it becomes a big problem!
I already have a big problem.
You do?
Yeah. I don't want to go to the dentist.
That is a problem.
Yeah.
