Hello, everyone.
Now it's time to play a little game I'd like to call: I Know It!
I Know It!
Do you know it?
I'm going to describe one of today's key words.
And you must guess what it is.
OK, the word I am thinking of is something on your face.
Well, it's not on your face.
It's in your mouth.
It's something that you use to eat food with.
It's something that you need if you are going to eat hard food.
I know it!
Andrea?
I know it!
What is the answer?
I know it! The answer is tooth!
That's right, the answer is tooth.
You need teeth to eat, don't you?
You do need teeth to eat.
You need more than just one tooth, right?
Well, right. You need more than just one tooth.
You need teeth, T-E-E-T-H.
Good job.
Well friends, it's your turn to practice this game with a friend.
Well, do that sometime today.
For now we are going to find these key words in our conversations.
So let's begin with Conversation A.
Are you OK, Ken?
No. My tooth hurts.
I'm sorry. Why does it hurt?
I don't know.
There is something wrong with it.
Can you go to the dentist?
I can't go today. I have too much work.
How about tomorrow?
No, I'm busy tomorrow.
Then go the day after tomorrow!
Don't wait too long.
OK.
Well, in Conversation A, we find out that Ken's tooth hurts.
Well, it's not good news when you hear that a friend has pain or if something
hurts.
So Lily says, "I'm sorry." I'm sorry.
If someone tells you some news that's not very good, like I'm sick, my back
hurts, my tooth hurts, I'm not feeling well,
it's nice to say, "I'm sorry." When you say, "I'm sorry," that means you care.
You're sorry that your friend is in pain, or that something hurts.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, what should Ken do?
Ken should go and see the dentist.
But he should go soon.
Lily says, "Don't wait too long." Don't wait too long.
That means you should do something very soon or as soon as you can.
My friend's birthday is tomorrow.
Don't wait too long to buy a gift.
Don't wait too long.
Well, you don't have to wait too long for the next conversation because it's
time to go to Conversation B.
Do you go to a dentist for regular checkups?
No. I don't like dentists.
Why not?
They hurt me.
Now your tooth is hurting you.
You're right.
A dentist can help you.
I go to the dentist every six months.
I go to the dentist every five years.
And now you have a problem.
Call and make an appointment!
OK, OK!
OK, OK, OK, OK!
I will call and make an appointment.
That's kind of what Ken says here.
OK, OK!
If someone keeps talking to you about something, and they want you to do
something, sometimes the only thing to say is:
OK, OK. I hear you. I understand. OK.
Well, earlier in this conversation, Lily says, "A dentist can help you. I go to
the dentist every six months." I do something every amount of time.
You can use this phrase like this:
I go running every four days.
I go to church every week.
I visit my parents every three or four weeks.
And just like Lily says, I go to the dentist every six months.
What did Ken say to that?
I go to the dentist every five years.
Oh no, Ken, that's not good.
You really do need to go to the dentist soon.
Your tooth is hurting you.
Well, right now it's time for us to continue by reviewing today's lesson.
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!
Are you OK, Ken?
No. My tooth hurts.
I'm sorry. Why does it hurt?
I don't know.
There is something wrong with it.
Can you go to the dentist?
I can't go today. I have too much work.
How about tomorrow?
No, I'm busy tomorrow.
Then go the day after tomorrow!
Don't wait too long.
OK.
Do you go to a dentist for regular checkups?
No. I don't like dentists.
Why not?
They hurt me.
Now your tooth is hurting you.
You're right.
A dentist can help you.
I go to the dentist every six months.
I go to the dentist every five years.
And now you have a problem.
Call and make an appointment!
OK, OK!
Calendar Phrase.
Don't wait too long.
Don't wait too long.
(Chinese).
Oh! My tooth hurts.
Go to the dentist right away.
I'll go to the dentist in a few months.
Don't wait too long.
OK. I'll go to the dentist in a few weeks.
Don't wait too long.
OK. I'll go to the dentist in a few days.
Good.
When did your tooth start hurting?
It started hurting three years ago.
Oops. You waited too long.
Don't wait too long.
Don't wait too long.
(Chinese).
All right, now let's practice what we learned with our Answer It questions.
The first question is: When does Lily go to the dentist?
Well, it's good to know that she goes to the dentist.
But when does she go to the dentist, Andrea?
I can answer it.
We found the answer in Conversation B.
She goes to the dentist every six months.
Well, Lily goes to the dentist every six months.
I think that's a good idea.
Here is question number two.
Do you go to the dentist? When?
Do you go to the dentist?
And if you do, when do you go?
Well, do I go to my dentist?
I go to my dentist about every seven months or eight months...
Maybe every nine months... Maybe... maybe once a year.
Gabe, Gabe...
I like my dentist.
Do you... do you go to your dentist once a year?
I have been to the dentist before, Andrea... I think.
Yes. The dentist is a good person to visit.
Uh, yes. Uh, at least once a year.
Yes.
But it's better to go every six months, Gabe.
OK, I'll go in six months.
Well friends, right now it's time for us to say goodbye.
But we'll see you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in...
Ah!
Oh, dear!
Goodbye, everyone.
(Music).
