Well hello, everyone, and welcome to the Saturday Show of Let's Talk in English.
My name is Gabe.
And I'm glad you could join us here on LTE TV.
Now I am excited.
Why? Because it's the last day of the month.
That means you just learned a whole lot this month.
You're doing a great job.
And of course, we learned a lot and talked about a lot this week.
We had one lesson called That's Delicious!
When do you use that phrase?
Well, after you eat a delicious meal, you say, "That's delicious!" Ooh, this is
making me hungry.
Is it making you hungry too?
Maybe you can go out and get some unusual food.
We also learned about some unusual foods.
We talked about a lot this week.
Now it's time for us to review our lessons.
But pay attention because Ginger and I have some questions just for you.
Here we go.
Are you hungry?
What is your favorite restaurant? Why?
Think about these questions.
Then you can tell a friend all about your favorite restaurant.
1. Which menu item is the most delicious?
2. Does any menu item taste too sweet or too salty?
3. Do you enjoy spicy food?
Which menu items are spicy?
4. What is your favorite dessert?
Why do you like it?
I love the hot dogs here. They're delicious.
Really? The Jungle Cafe's hot dogs are so salty.
I know! I love salty food.
Well, the hot dogs are too salty.
Hey, Ken, did you try the new lemon chicken sandwich?
Yes. It is too sweet.
No, it's not! That sandwich is delicious!
Then we don't agree.
You're right about that.
Hey, Lily, do you enjoy spicy food?
Yes, I love it!
I don't really like spicy food.
We have different opinions again.
What about dessert?
What is your favorite dessert here?
I never order dessert.
I love all the desserts!
We really are different.
Well, are you hungry yet?
Yes!
We agree about something!
Let's order!
Cheese, stinky tofu, insects - these are common foods in some places.
But they are considered strange in other places.
How about chicken feet?
If you live in Asia, you eat them.
But people in other places think they're an unusual food.
Some people like to eat different flavors together.
Sweet and sour.
Bitter and sweet.
Or they eat different foods together, like chocolate and bacon.
Does this seem strange to you?
Not to many Americans!
Hey, Rob, what should I - Whoa. What are you eating?
Stinky tofu. It's yummy.
How can something so stinky taste good?
I don't know, but it has a good flavor.
Here, try it.
No thanks.
Stinky tofu seems strange to me.
Some people eat insects.
That's strange to me.
Me too.
I don't eat strange foods.
You eat some unusual foods.
I do?
You eat bacon covered with chocolate.
That's delicious!
But those foods together seem strange to some people.
True.
Sometimes different flavors together are great.
Right!
We both like sweet and sour chicken.
We both like sugar in our bitter coffee.
You're right.
OK, I'll try your stinky tofu.
You might like it.
OK.
"A place for everything and everything in its place." Follow this advice.
Then you can have a neat room.
Find a place for your things.
A shelf for books.
Drawers for clothes.
Then keep each thing in its place.
Think about your bedroom.
Is it neat or messy?
Put your things in drawers and on shelves.
Organize your desk.
You can even put things in boxes under your bed.
Now you have a neat room!
Hi, Susie. What are you doing?
I'm writing down my ideas, Carol.
I need to make some changes in my bedroom.
What kind of changes?
Well, my room is so messy.
I lose things in there!
Oh. You need to organize your bedroom.
Tell me your ideas.
I need a big shelf for my books.
That's a good idea.
My desk is messy.
I need to organize it.
Do you have a big desk?
Yes! It has many drawers.
But you need to put things in the drawers.
That's right!
Is there any space under your bed?
Yes, there is.
You can put things in boxes.
Then put them under your bed.
Good idea! Thanks, Carol!
Are you ready to make some changes in your home?
Maybe you want to paint some walls a different color.
Or maybe you want to decorate a room in a different style.
Now is a great time to change the look of any room!
Furniture and home stores often have good sales.
You can get discounts on curtains, bedding, lamps and more.
There are many choices, so ask a friend for help!
Hi, Susie.
Hi, Lily.
Hey, do you like to decorate?
Yes, I do.
Can you help me?
I want a new look for my bedroom.
But I'm not sure which style to choose.
So you need help with some decisions?
Yes!
I want to paint the bedroom walls a different color.
But I like a lot of colors.
I see.
The Home Store has a discount this week on curtains and bedding.
I want some new ones.
That's a good idea.
But there are so many choices!
I could help you.
That would be great.
I also want a new lamp.
But there are so many to choose from!
Do you want me to go shopping with you after work?
Yes!
When you need to fix something in your home, what do you do?
Do you pay someone to come and repair it?
Consider DIY: do-it-yourself.
All you need are some tools and a little knowledge about how to use them.
A hammer, nails and glue are useful for fixing things.
You can also use some unusual things.
Toothpaste can fill small holes in your wall.
Baking soda and vinegar can fix your drains.
Hello, everyone, and welcome to Let's Talk.
Let's welcome our special guest for today - Mr. Fixit.
Hello, Mr. Fixit, thanks for being on our show today.
You're welcome.
I'm happy to be here.
I know you like to fix things, and I understand you brought some tools today.
Is that right?
Yes, I did bring some "tools" for fixing things.
But these aren't the kind of tools you're thinking of.
You're right!
I thought you'd have a hammer and nails.
I do use a hammer and nails to fix things.
But you also use vinegar, baking soda and toothpaste?
That's right!
What do you use toothpaste for?
You can use it to repair small holes in your wall.
Then you can paint over them.
How about vinegar and baking soda?
They can clean out your drains.
You'll find many other DIY ideas on the Internet.
Hello, everyone. I'm here with Ginger, and...
And I'm here with Gabe.
And we have some questions just for you.
But my first question is for Ginger.
Why do you have that toothpaste with you?
I use this toothpaste to repair small holes in my wall.
I have a lot of small holes.
Hmm, then your house must smell minty and clean.
Now do you have a question for everyone about the lessons?
I sure do.
What does Lily think is too salty?
Gabe, do you know the answer?
Yes, yes, I'm thinking.
Uh, Lily thinks the hot dogs at the Jungle Cafe are too salty.
Yeah, good job! Yay!
Thank you. Thank you.
And question number two.
What was Rob eating in the studio this week?
Let's see.
What was Rob eating in the studio this week?
Oh, oh, I know!
He was eating stinky tofu in the studio this week.
That's right.
He was eating that in the studio.
Hey, Ginger, could I borrow that toothpaste?
Sure. Why?
I think Rob could use some to repair the small holes in his head.
What? That's not nice!
Well, he shouldn't bring something stinky into a close room like our studio.
Well, maybe you should tell him... nicely.
Maybe you're right.
You can keep the toothpaste.
I'll tell Rob.
Nicely.
Yes, nicely.
You know, you're a good friend, Ginger.
Well, I think it's time for a break.
But don't go away.
We'll be rightback.
