Let's Talk in English.
Hey, everyone, and welcome to LTE TV.
My name is Gabe.
And I'm Andrea.
The title of our lesson today is: Ken's Bag.
Now we continue learning how to talk about getting ready for a trip by packing a
bag, making a packing list.
And today we'll find out something about Ken's bag.
Now when you take a trip, do you take a big suitcase?
Maybe you take a small suitcase that can also be a carry-on.
Well, you don't want your things to be damaged, so make sure you pack them in a
safe way.
Friends, we're going to talk about all of these key words together and more.
Let's begin with our Read It.
Which is better, checking a suitcase or just taking a carry-on?
It depends.
In America, most airlines charge you to check a bag.
It costs less to take a carry-on.
Taking a carry-on is also safer.
A bag you check can be delayed or damaged.
But carry-ons can be heavy.
And sometimes, there isn't room for them on the airplane.
If you check luggage, you can take a bigger suitcase.
You can pack more things.
Carry-on is better.
No, no, no, no. Checking a suitcase is much better.
Andrea, a carry-on is better, you don't know.
No, no, but a suitcase won't damage your things.
A suitcase is much better.
Yes. But let me tell you...
Um, I think we need to maybe get to our lesson?
I think so. Yes.
Which is better, checking a suitcase or taking a carry-on?
Well friends, let's look at this key word "suitcase" before Gabe starts talking
about why a carry-on is better.
OK, suitcase.
A suitcase is a kind of bag that you can pack your things in.
A suitcase is usually bigger and stronger.
You can put more things in a suitcase.
So maybe if you have a lot of things, you can pack two suitcases or three
suitcases or four suitcases.
You can check these suitcases in when you get on a flight.
Now that can be kind of expensive.
Sometimes it is cheaper to just take a carry-on, Andrea.
Uh... Yes. OK, that's true. It can be cheaper to take a carry-on.
But the question is which is better.
OK.
OK, maybe you can help us teach "carry-on," Gabe.
I would be glad to.
I love carry-ons.
A carry-on is a smaller bag that you can take onto your airplane with you.
You don't have to check it in.
You can keep it with you, and you put it on the airplane near you.
That's a carry-on.
And carry-ons are better because then you don't have to wait for your bags when
the plane lands.
I see. That's a good point.
And carry-ons are safer because the carry-on stays with you.
Well, a suitcase or a small suitcase can also be a carry-on.
Hmm, that's interesting.
So a small suitcase can be a carry-on.
And a carry-on is safer.
Well, let's talk about this key word.
safe.
If something is safe, it is not in any danger.
If something is safe, it is OK.
That's right. You want to keep your important things in a safe place.
If you're traveling to another country, you need to take your passport.
That's very important.
Keep your passport in a safe place.
Keep it safe.
And taking a carry-on is safe.
A bag you check can be delayed or damaged.
Let's talk about this key word.
damage.
If something is damaged, or if you damage your suitcase or damage your bag,
that means something happens to either break the bag or just make something
wrong.
That's right. It gets damaged or broken or ruined.
I remember a time when Andrea and I went out with some friends, and we went
swimming.
I forgot to take my cell phone out of my pocket.
And my cell phone was damaged.
It was ruined.
I couldn't use it anymore.
Yeah. That was not safe.
Do not swim with a cell phone.
But do look at our last key word together.
It is "room." Now here we're talking about room on an airplane for a big
carry-on.
"Room" is another word for space.
We talked about that word yesterday.
So which is better, checking a suitcase or taking a carry-on?
Think about your answer, and let's learn more with Christina.
(Chinese).
Which is better? Which is better?
It depends.
What are you trying to decide?
Which is better, checking a suitcase or taking a carry-on?

There may not be room for your carry-on.
Ooh. Checking a suitcase is better.

It may be safer to take a carry-on.
Oh. Taking a carry-on is better.

Ah. Taking a suitcase is better.

You can pack more bananas in your suitcase.
But they won't be with you on the airplane.
Oh. Which is better? Which is better?
