It's time for one of our favorite games.
It's called: I Know It!
I Know It!
Do you know it?
Well, I am going to talk about one of our key words.
And I want to see if you and Gabe know it.
Here we go.
This is a place where you can find animals.
You can also find food that is growing.
These places are very important.
They bring food to your neighborhood.
Andrea, I know it! I know it!
Are you sure you know it?
Yes, I do. It's a department store.
Wait a minute.
Uh...
Department stores don't have animals.
No, they don't.
No. Uh... Oh! It's that other key word.
Farm. It's a farm.
A farm has animals.
You are right. Good job, Gabe.
And good job to all of you as well.
Now let's take a look at Conversation A.
Hi, Ken. Are you coming to my party next week?
Your dog's birthday party?
Yes, I'll be there!
Great!
Do you know how to get to my apartment?
I have your address, but I don't go to your neighborhood often.
Walker's Department Store is across from my building.
Oh! Maybe I do know your building.
OK. Great.
Susie asks Ken a question.
She says, "Do you know how to get to my apartment?" Do you know how to get to my
apartment.
Now Ken has her address.
But does he know how to get to the apartment?
Ken says he doesn't go to her neighborhood often.
So when you invite people to your home, maybe they have your address, and they
know where you live.
But this is a good question to ask.
Do you know how to get to my apartment, or do you need help?
Do you need directions?
We can use this question in some other ways.
Do you know how to get to the restaurant?
Do you know how to get to the movie theater?
Do you know how to get to the airport?
Well, it's important to know how to get to a place before you go.
Let's keep learning with Conversation B.
Is there a library next to your building?
No, but there's a school.
Well, don't worry. I'll find your building.
I'll find a map online.
OK.
If you get to a farm, you're in the wrong place!
Right.
Are there any pet stores around your home?
Yes. Gill's Pet Store is nearby. Why?
I need to get a gift for your dog!
Are there any pet stores around your home?
Gill's Pet Store is nearby.
Around, nearby.
We use these words to talk about places.
And at the beginning of this conversation, we see the words "next to." That also
talks about a place.
Is there a library next to your building?
You can use this phrase in other ways.
Is there a school next to the hospital?
Is there a park next to your apartment?
Is there a library next to your building?
Well, later Ken says, "I'll find a map online." I'll find something online.
What do you look for online?
I'll find the restaurant online.
I'll find the movie theater online.
I'll find your apartment address online.
Then I can drive to your house.
Right now it's time for us to continue by reviewing today's lesson.
Think about your neighborhood.
Do you live in a big city?
Is there a library, a school, or a post office near your home?
Maybe there is a department store or a park nearby.
Do you live in the country?
There aren't many stores or restaurants around your home.
Maybe there is a farm across the road.
Wherever you live, your neighborhood is special.
Why? Because you live there!
Hi, Ken. Are you coming to my party next week?
Your dog's birthday party?
Yes, I'll be there!
Great!
Do you know how to get to my apartment?
I have your address, but I don't go to your neighborhood often.

No, but there's a school.
Well, don't worry. I'll find your building.

Right.

(Chinese).
Now it's time to answer a few questions.
We have two questions from today's lesson.
Now here is the first one.
What is across from Susie's building?
What is across from Susie's building?
Uh, let's see if Gabe can answer it.
I know the answer.
It was in Conversation A.
Walker's Department Store is across from Susie's building.
I know you got it too.
Here is question number two.
What is across from your home? What is next to your home?
Andrea, would you like to answer this question?
Yes, I would.
What is across from my home?
Well, there is a big apartment building across from my home.
And what is next to my home?
Well, there is a small store next to my home.
That's a great answer.
How will you answer this question, friends?
Well, it's time for us to say goodbye for today.
But we'll see you next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
