Excellent, excellent.
Welcome back.
Now it's time for Two...
In One.
Let's use two key words...
In one sentence.
Let me begin.
All right. Ooh, I have a great sentence that uses two key words.
Today my socks feel really heavy.
Ah. Today your socks...
That's a key word.
They feel really heavy.
So "sock" and "heavy" are your key words.
Um, that's an interesting sentence, Gabe.
It's hard to walk, Andrea.
OK.
It's your turn.
OK. Let's see. Two key words in one sentence.
I put away my belt last night.
Oh, that is such a good sentence.
OK, you used the key words "put away" and "belt." Very nice job.
Thank you.
All right. Well, now it's time for us to continue.
Listen for these key words in Conversation A.
When do you leave on your trip, Ken?
On Friday.
Did you pack yet?
No! I'll pack Thursday night.
You should start earlier.
Why?
Then you have more time to think about packing.
I'm always careful when I pack.
I save space.
I roll up heavy clothes.
And I leave space for souvenirs.
That's good.
When do you leave on your trip?
When do you leave on your trip?
Did you pack yet?
Did you pack yet?
Now these are good questions to ask someone who is taking a trip soon.
It shows you are interested in their trip and the things that they are doing to
get ready for their trip.
Well, when is Ken's trip?
When does he leave for his trip?
He leaves on Friday.
But he hasn't started to pack yet.
Well, his friend, Rob says he should start earlier.
But Ken says he's always careful when he packs.
When you're careful when you pack, you plan things and you think about what you
want to pack.
Ken says he saves space.
Now when you save space, that means you don't use all of the space in your bag.
You save space or you save room.
How does he save space?
Well, he rolls up heavy clothes, and he also leaves space, so he leaves some
room for souvenirs.
A souvenir is something that you buy on a trip and bring home again to help you
remember that trip.
You might also buy souvenirs for family and friends as gifts.
Let's say that word together.
Souvenir.
Good job.
Now let's continue with Conversation B.
And I pack my socks and belts in my shoes.
Good. That saves space too.
But I don't always pack light.
Really? You pack really well.
I do. But I sometimes take too many things.
And I don't usually need them.
Then how do you have space for souvenirs?
I take a big bag!
OK, Ken will take a big bag.
That's how he will have space for souvenirs.
So he will have space for something.
You can use this word "space" in other ways.
You could ask, "Do you have space in your car for me?" Or, there's not enough
space in this room for that big table.
Not enough space.
Of course if he takes a bigger bag, then he will have more space.
At the beginning of the conversation, Ken says, "I don't always pack light."
Usually he does,
but here, "I don't always." You could say: I don't always go to bed early.
I don't always get to work on time.
I try, but I don't always do that.
Well friends, you are doing a great job.
Keep up the good work.
Right now it's time for us to review.
Here we go.
After you make a packing list, you can start to pack.
Start a few days before your trip.
Don't wait until the night before.
Lay out everything.
Look at it.
Do you really need it all?
If not, put some of it away.
Try to pack light.
As you pack, save space.
Roll up your heavy clothes before packing them.
Put your socks and belts into your shoes.
Make sure you leave space for souvenirs!
When do you leave on your trip, Ken?
On Friday.
Did you pack yet?
No! I'll pack Thursday night.
You should start earlier.
Why?
Then you have more time to think about packing.
I'm always careful when I pack.
I save space.
I roll up heavy clothes.
And I leave space for souvenirs.
That's good.
And I pack my socks and belts in my shoes.
Good. That saves space too.
But I don't always pack light.
Really? You pack really well.
I do. But I sometimes take too many things.
And I don't usually need them.
Then how do you have space for souvenirs?
I take a big bag!
Calendar Phrase.
Did you pack yet?
Did you pack yet?
(Chinese).
Hooray. Today we're going to Grandpa's cabin.
Right. Did you pack yet?
Yes. I packed last night.
Did you pack yet?
Yes. I packed this morning.
Call Grandpa and see if he packed yet.
Hello, Grandpa.
Did you pack yet?
What?!
Grandpa is already at the cabin.
Oh. Then I guess he already packed and unpacked.
Did you pack yet?
Did you pack yet?
(Chinese).
OK, can you Answer It?
We have some questions for you.
And we know you have the answers.
Question number one.
When will Ken pack?
OK, Andrea, this is for you.
When will Ken pack?
When will Ken pack?
OK, I can answer it.
He will pack on Thursday night.
And we found this answer in Conversation A.
Here is your second question.
When do you pack for a trip?
Gabe, when do you pack for a trip?
Andrea, I probably should not answer this because I don't want to teach people
any bad habits.
But usually I pack for a trip the night before, or even the morning of a trip.
It's very last-minute, I know.
But that's when I usually like to pack for a trip.
OK. Well, I guess you can do it your way, and other people can do it their way.
Friends, thanks so much for joining us today.
And we look forward to seeing you again tomorrow right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
(Music).
