We learned some great key words today, didn't we?
Yes, we did.
And now it's time for a...
Key Word Story.
We are going to use these key words to tell you a story.
I will begin today.
Simon needs to repair his van.
So he needs to find his hammer and some nails.
Will a hammer and nails help fix his van?
Well, he hopes so because right now his van is in a very big hole that's filled
with vinegar.
This is a great story.
Well, it's a kind of unusual story.
And we know that you can do a better job, friends.
Yes. But I like the story.
It's... it's a funny story.
All right, let's continue now with Conversation A.
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.
Mr. Fixit is on Let's Talk today.
Now Mr. Fixit knows how to fix things and repair things.
But today he didn't bring common tools.
He brought some interesting things.
Rob thought that he would bring a hammer and some nails.
But he brought some other things: some vinegar, baking soda and toothpaste.
Well, Mr. Fixit knows how to fix things.
Now if someone is very good at fixing things, you might say, "Hey, you're a Mr.
Fixit." Or you can call that person a handyman, H-A-N-D-Y-M-A-N.
A handyman.
Do you know a handyman?
Do you know a Mr. Fixit?
Well, I have to say that my dad is a Mr. Fixit.
He is a handyman.
He could repair most things when I lived at home.
And I'm sure that we will learn more from Mr. Fixit together.
So let us continue with Conversation B.
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.
Well, in this conversation, Rob and Mr. Fixit are talking about something.
At the beginning of this conversation, do you know what Mr. Fixit says?
I know.
He says, "I do use a hammer and nails to fix things." He uses a hammer and nails
to fix things.
What can you use to do something?
Let's use this sentence in another way.
I do use a credit card to buy things online.
I do use a knife to cut paper.
And just like Mr. Fixit says, I do use a hammer and nails to fix things.
What else do we see in this conversation?
Ah, I know it!
Later, Rob says, "What do you use toothpaste for?" What do you use something
for?
You can use this sentence in another way, like this:
What do you use nails for?
What do you use hammers for?
What do you use pencils for?
What do you use that for?
And Rob says, "What do you use toothpaste for?" You can use it to repair small
holes in your "head," of course.
Well friends, do you know what time it is?
I know.
It's time for us to... to... to review.
Here we go.
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.
