(Music).
Now it is time for a little game called Two...
In One.
So we will use two key words in...
One sentence.
Yes, let me begin.
OK, the sentence I have is:
The wind blew very hard last night in the city.
Hmm, "wind" and "blow".
Yes.
Those are your key words.
Yes.
It's my turn.
The sky was dark during the storm.
"Sky" and "storm" are your key words.
Well, now it's your turn.
But first, let's go to Conversation A.
Ken! What happened?
It started to rain, so I started running.
Didn't you have an umbrella?
No.
The forecast was for clear skies this morning.
But now it's raining?
Yes! The weatherman was wrong!
Is it windy?
Yes! The wind is blowing really hard.
It wasn't windy or rainy when I came this morning.
Ken comes running into the office.
Now what happened?
Well, Ken tells us that it started to rain, so I started running.
It started to rain, so I started running.
What do you do when it starts to rain?
Well, let's try using this in some other ways.
It started to rain, so I put up my umbrella.
It started to rain, so I stayed at home.
it started to rain, so I started singing in the rain.
We can also use this to talk about another kind of weather.
How about snow?
It started to snow, so I put on my winter jacket.
It started to snow, so I started playing in the snow.
Well friends, you can use this sentence when you are talking about the weather.
Well, did the forecast say it would rain?
No. The forecast was for clear skies in the morning.
But now it's raining.
So the weatherman was wrong.
Now you can also say "weatherwoman" or "weatherperson." Well, let's keep
learning with Conversation B.
When did you come to work?
Half an hour ago.
But the weather can change in a moment.
You're right.
There's a big storm coming.
The thunder is really loud.
I'm sorry you didn't have an umbrella.
Me too.
I always have an umbrella with me.
But it doesn't rain every day.
An umbrella is useful when it's sunny too!
An umbrella is very useful when it's sunny too.
Wait a minute.
An umbrella is useful when it's rainy.
It's useful when it's sunny too?
Oh, of course.
Some people like to open or use umbrellas when the sun is shining.
That way, they can protect their skin.
That way, it's not too bright.
Do you like to do this?
An umbrella can be very useful when it's sunny too.
Earlier in the conversation, Ken says, "When did you come to work?" When did you
do something?
Use this phrase like this:
When did you eat breakfast?
When did you watch that movie?
When did you check the weather forecast?
Is the weather forecast right?
Later on, Lily says, "I'm sorry you didn't have an umbrella." I'm sorry about
something.
You can use this phrase in another way.
I'm sorry you can't come to the party.
I'm sorry that your dog is sick.
I'm sorry you didn't have an umbrella.
And of course, an umbrella is very useful.
It's a very useful thing, an umbrella.
And of course, it's very useful for us to review our lesson every day.
Let's do that now.
You check tomorrow's weather forecast.
There will be clear skies in the morning.
It may get a little windy in the afternoon.
But when you go out the next morning, the weather is different.
The wind is blowing hard because a storm is coming.
You hear thunder and it starts to rain.
What happened?
Weathermen try to give the right forecast, but sometimes they're wrong.
Why? No one can control the weather!
Ken! What happened?
It started to rain, so I started running.
Didn't you have an umbrella?
No.
The forecast was for clear skies this morning.
But now it's raining?
Yes! The weatherman was wrong!
Is it windy?
Yes! The wind is blowing really hard.
It wasn't windy or rainy when I came this morning.
When did you come to work?
Half an hour ago.
But the weather can change in a moment.
You're right.
There's a big storm coming.
The thunder is really loud.
I'm sorry you didn't have an umbrella.
Me too.
I always have an umbrella with me.
But it doesn't rain every day.
An umbrella is useful when it's sunny too!

Let's Answer It!
Now for question number one, you find the answer in our lesson.
Here it is.
Why did Ken run?
Why did Ken run?
Let's see if Gabe can answer it.
I know the answer.
Oh, this is fun.
OK, why did Ken run?
Well, the answer was from Conversation A.
The answer is: It started to rain.
Did you find it?
Good.
Now here is question number two.
Do you always have an umbrella with you? Why or why not?
Andrea, do you always have an umbrella with you?
No, I don't always have an umbrella with me.
I should carry an umbrella at all times.
But I always forget my umbrella.
And I don't mind getting wet if it starts to rain.
It's OK getting wet every once in a while.
Well friends, you're doing a great job.
And of course, we hope to see you again next time right here on...
Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
