Let's Talk in English.
Hi, everyone, and welcome to LTE TV.
My name is Andrea.
And my name is Gabe.
Today's lesson is called: Let's Paint!
Let's Paint!
Well, what can you paint?
You can paint a picture.
Or maybe you can paint the walls in your house.
We have a lot to learn today.
Let's get started.
Open your magazine to today's Read It paragraph.
Here we go.
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!
Well, there are different things to give your room a new look.
You can paint your walls.
Let's take a look at this first key word.
paint.
When you paint something, you use a kind of color - it's kind of like water and
color - and you can paint your walls or paint your house.
You can paint different things.
Yes, you paint.
You can also paint a picture.
Maybe you will paint a picture of some flowers.
Do you paint?
What kind of things do you paint?
So you can paint a picture or paint your room.
And of course, your room has walls.
"Wall" is a key word.
A lot of rooms have four walls - one on each side - to make your room kind of
like a square.
A wall.
Now you can paint your wall a different color.
Maybe it's white, and you want a different color.
Andrea, if you could paint your walls a new color, what color would it be?
Hmm, I would like to paint my walls yellow.
Ooh, yellow.
I would love to have a room with yellow walls.
Yellow is a very bright color.
So if I'm sitting in a room with yellow walls, I think I'll feel very happy.
Well, right! If you have bright colors around, then you might feel happier.
It could be a new look for your room.
We see this key word.
look.
Here it is a noun.
A new look is a different look.
It looks different than the way it did before.
It's a new look.
So you can talk about a room having a new look.
There's something different that makes the room even better.
You can say a hotel has a new look.
Or my office has a new look.
They decorate it in a different way.
But people can also get a new look.
If you get a haircut or if you wear different clothes, then you get a new look.
That's right.
You could say, "Hey. I like that look!" You have a new look, and it looks great.
That's true.
OK. Well, do you think that your bedroom needs a new look?
Well, what else can you do?
What can you do?
You can go to a furniture store and buy something there to give your room a new
look.
What's something that you can buy?
Well, maybe you need some new curtains for your windows.
Here's a key word.
curtain.
A curtain is a kind of cloth that you use to cover your windows.
Yes. So you can put curtains in front of a window.
Then you close the curtains, you can't look outside.
But if you want light or if you want to look outside, open your curtains to look
out the window.
That's right.
And you can get curtains at a furniture store.
You can also get a lamp at a furniture store.
This is another key word.
A lamp is a kind of light, but it's not above in the ceiling.
It's something that you could put on your desk or even on the ground.
You can have a lamp.
You can turn on the lamp or turn off the lamp.
Right.
And lamps can really give a room a new look.
Different kinds of lamps give your rooms a different kind of light.
So when you're buying a lamp, you have many choices.
That's right.
So if you want a new look, go to a furniture store and see if you can find some
of these things - curtains, bedding, lamps and more.
There are many choices, so you might need to ask a friend.
Our last key word here is "choice." If you have a choice, that means you need to
decide to do something.
There are two or more choices, you need to choose one.
Which do you choose?
That is your choice.
Yes. Earlier this month, we learned the verb "choose." And here we see the noun.
Well friends, we hope that you choose to learn more with us.
Is that your choice? Yes?
Great.
Well, let's go and see Christina.
(Chinese).
Help me! Oh, please help me!
Help you? Are you OK?
Yes, I'm fine. But my tree house isn't fine.
Your tree house?
Yeah, it needs a new look.
Can you help me decorate?
Uh, sure! But how can I help?
I want to paint the walls.
Help me choose a color.
Let's see. What color?
I want new furniture.
Help me choose a style.
Let's see. Uh, what style?
And help me choose curtains and lamps.
Let's see.
There's many choices.
What should I choose?
Choose things that are on sale.
Ooh, you make good choices. Yeah.
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!
And now it's time to review the key words.

Let's go and see the Word Brothers.
Hi, everyone. I'm Jim.
And I'm Tim. We're...
The Word Brothers.
We are similar.
But very different.
Yes, just like some English words.
Right. For example, hear, H-E-A-R.
And here, H-E-R-E.
These two words sound the same.
But they are very different.
Mmhm. Hear, H-E-A-R, is a verb.
We hear with our ears.
And when I am talking to someone, I can ask: Can you hear me?
Jim, did you hear that?
Uh, no, I didn't hear anything.
Really? Are you sure?
I hear something strange.
Listen carefully.
OK.
Tim, that is not funny!
Yes, it is. It's very funny.
Tim, stop playing games.
And tell our friends about our other word - here, H-E-R-E.
OK, OK.
Here, H-E-R-E, is a word we use to talk about a place.
"Here" means in this place.
For example, Tim and I are here with you.
We are in this place together with you.
Hmm, where is my brother?
Oh, here he is.
He's standing right next to me.
Right.
OK, friends, here.
And hear.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Tim.
And Jim, saying...
Goodbye.
