Hi, everyone. I'm Gabe.
And I'm Ginger.
And it's about time to review our features.
Do you remember what the Word Brothers taught us this week?
Yeah, they taught the difference between hole, H-O-L-E, and whole, W-H-O-L-E.
That's right.
Now I will use one of them in a sentence.
You guess the word.
God has the whole world in his hands.
God has the whole world...
Yeah.
Ooh, that's easy, Gabe. That's W-H-O-L-E.
Good job.
Now I have a riddle for you about the other word - H-O-L-E.
OK, the monkey has a riddle.
What is it, Ginger?
If you need 12 men to dig a hole, how many men do you need to dig half a hole?
12 men for a hole, how many for half...
That's easy. You need six men to dig half a hole.
No, you need 12 men!
Why?
Because half a hole is still a hole.
Half a hole is still a hole?
I don't understand.
It's a whole hole.
Well, anyway, sometimes you need to be a monkey to understand these things.
A half a hole is still a hole...
Well, keep thinking.
Friends, let's review our features, starting with the Word Brothers.
Oh, I get it!
You are a smart monkey.
Yeah.
Hi, everyone. I'm Jim.
And I'm Tim. We're...
The Word Brothers.
We are similar.
But very different.
Yes, just like some English words.
For example, hole, H-O-L-E.
And whole, W-H-O-L-E.
These two words sound the same.
But they are very different.
A hole, H-O-L-E, is an opening in something.
Right. Sometimes when my clothes or shoes get really old, they will have holes
in them.
I need new clothes and shoes.
That's because you don't take care of your things.
Yes, I do!
No, you don't!
Jim!
Tim!
Let's not talk about this right now.
Fine. Let's talk about whole, W-H-O-L-E.
The word "whole" (W-H-O-L-E) sounds like "hole" (H-O-L-E), but it is very
different.
Whole, W-H-O-L-E, means all of something.
Our whole family ate dinner together last night.
Right. That means everyone in our family ate together.
Hey, Jim, do you remember last night's dessert?
Yes, I do. We had cake.
That's right.
And we ate the whole cake in 5 minutes!
The whole cake. We ate all of it.
It was really delicious.
OK, friends, hole.
And whole.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Tim.
And Jim saying...
Goodbye.
Look! There are even snakes here.
Argh! Snakes? Where?
Don't worry. They're safe in that box.
Abby, are you scared of snakes?
Yes, really scared!
They're the worst animal ever!
Are you scared of any animals?
Yes, I'm scared of rats.
Children, parents, animal lovers.
The City Zoo is now open for visitors.
You can come to the zoo and see many different kinds of animals.
You can see many animals from different places around the world here in one
place at The City Zoo.
The City Zoo has smart animals like elephants, and special animals like the
panda.
There are hundreds of birds too.
They have so many colors, and you can see them all year long!
Come early in the morning to see the zookeepers, me, feed the animals.
If you come later in the day, all the animals will be sleepy.
The City Zoo also has a special night safari.
This is a great way to see the animals at night.
You can come to The City Zoo every Monday to Saturday, from 9:00 to 5:00 p.m.
The animals will be waiting for you.
(Music).
Rapper Ray here with Jack the man.
You will see a word.
Think of three words that sound like that word and make a rap.
And the word for today is: dream.
What rhymes with "dream"?
Seem, steam...
Jack the man, give me a word.
Team.
Lay the beat.
Oh yeah, I like that. I like it!
I was the star of a basketball team.
Eating dumplings with lots of steam.
But things are often not as real as they seem.
I woke up the next morning, it was just a dream.
Just a dream.
All right, here we go. Again.
I was the star of a basketball team.
Eating dumplings with lots of steam.
But things are often not as real as they seem.
I woke up the next morning, it was just a dream.
It's a Rap!
I love those features.
And I love that you joined us here today.
We always learn a lot here on Let's Talk in English.
And of course, I hope to see you next time right here on Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
(Music).
