Welcome back.
It is time now for us to review this week's fun features.
So let's watch them right away.
Here we go...
Um, no... Ginger.
Before we review them, I would like to talk about one of them called the Word
Brothers.
Word Brothers? You mean Jim and Tim.
Yes, they are the Word Brothers.
And do you remember the words they talked about this week?
Yes, I do.
Buy and bye.
"Buy" and "bye." That's right.
Now listen carefully.
I'm going to say a word in a sentence, and you have to spell the word correctly.
I need to buy some groceries.
Now which "buy" did I use?
How do you spell it, Ginger?
Oh, I know, I know!
B... Uh, B... B-U-Y, buy.
That's right. B-U-Y.
Now what's your sentence?
OK, here I go.
Before I left my monkey friends, I said "bye." How do you spell that "bye"?
Well, that's easy.
There's only one left.
B-Y-E, bye.
Now can you use both of those words in one sentence?
Uh, I can try. Let's see...
After I say "bye" to you, I'll buy a banana.
Ginger, that was great.
And you just love bananas.
Hey, here's one just for you.
Yeah!
But you have to buy it!
Oh, hey...
OK. Well, now it's time for us to review our features.
Ginger, help me say bye.
Bye, B-Y-E, bye.
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, bye, B-Y-E.
And buy, B-U-Y.
These two words are similar.
But very different.
You say the word "bye," B-Y-E, when you leave.
It is an easy way to say goodbye.
When you leave home in the morning, you might say "bye" to your family.
If you are going on a trip, you say "bye" to your friends.
Bye, Jim.
Where are you going, Tim?
Hmm? I'm not going anywhere.
Then why did you say "bye" to me?
Oh, I was just practicing.
I see.
Now tell us about "buy," B-U-Y, Jim.
Sure.
Buy, B-U-Y, means to give money to get something.
Mmhm.
Our mom buys food at the grocery store every week.
She does.
What do you like to buy?
Do you buy clothes?
Do you buy music?
What do you buy?
I like to buy ice cream. Mmm...
Ooh, I also like to buy clothes and toys and shoes and books and...
We understand, Tim.
You like to buy many things.
Yes, I do.
OK, friends, bye...
And buy.
Can you see the difference?
Good. Until next time, this is Tim.
And Jim saying...
Bye.
I'm excited.
I'm having lunch with my friend at the cafe.
What time are you meeting your friend?
I'm meeting her at 11:00.
And what time is it now?
It's 11:05.
Oh, no! I have to go!
Tic-toc, tic-toc, ring...
It's time! It's time!
It's time to buy something very important.
What is it?
It's time to buy a new clock.
Everyone likes to have a working clock.
And I want to tell you about a special sale.
This week at our store - Good Times - we are selling the best clocks for half
price.
Come on over to our store and find the right clock for you.
We are open from 8:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the evening.
We have slow clocks, fast clocks, and clocks that are right on time.
Don't be late for the Good Times sale.
You should come early to find the best clock for you.
Your time is important.
Take a moment to look around.
It will only take a second.
Tic-toc, tic-toc...
(Music).
Well, those features are always fun.
We do have a lot of fun here on Let's Talk in English, don't we?
And if you want another challenge, well, you can open up your magazine and take
a practice test.
There's a practice GEPT test, and you can try this from the magazine.
Well, there's always a lot to learn, a lot to review.
But I do hope that you can find some time to relax this weekend.
Well, next time I'll see you right here on Let's Talk in English.
Goodbye.
(Music).
