Now we already saw all of today's key words in our Read It paragraph.
We talked about them.
You learned them.
Now let's practice them in a fun way with a game called I Know It.
I know it. Do you...
Know it?
Yes. OK, well, I will explain a word to you and... and to Gabe.
And when you know it, just say "I know it," OK? Here is the word.
This is something that you can take.
You go to a place for a short time.
You can take one of these to another city.
Or you can go far away to another country.
I love to take these on weekends or for long times.
Uh...
Andrea.
Yeah?
I know it.
You know it?
I know it.
Are you sure that you know it?
I'm sure I know it.
OK.
OK, the key word is "trip." You can take a trip somewhere.
You can take a trip close by or to another country.
You might take a trip for a long time or a short time.
The key word is trip!
You got it. Great job!
And friends, I'm sure you got it too.
You can also play this game with the other key words with a friend.
Now let's continue with Conversation A.
Hi, Ken. Are you going somewhere?
Yes, I am. I'm taking a trip.
Are you driving?
No. I'm flying.
That's great. Where are you going?
I'm going to California.
My flight leaves late tonight.
I fly early in the morning or late at night too.
Those flights cost less.
That's right!
Ken is carrying a bag, and Lily sees him.
So she says, "Are you going somewhere?" Are you going somewhere?
Now if it looks like someone is taking a trip or going to a place, you can ask
this question.
Are you going somewhere?
Now people often like to talk about a trip that they are going to take.
So Lily is interested.
She has some more questions.
She says, "Are you driving?" She wants to know how Ken is going to go on his
trip.
Are you driving?
You can also ask: Are you flying?
Are you taking a train?
Are you walking?
You can find out more about someone's trip with this question.
Another good question to ask is: Where are you going?
I'm taking a trip.
Well, where are you going?
I'm going to Hawaii.
Where are you going?
I'm going to Taipei.
Where are you going?
I'm going to Canada.
Where are we going now?
To Conversation B.
Do you have a direct flight?
No. I make two stops.
How much time do you have between flights?
I have an hour for my first stop.
But I only have 40 minutes for my other stop.
That's not much time.
I know. But I can run fast!
I don't want to miss my plane!
I don't want to miss my plane!
You could also say: I don't want to miss my train.
I don't want to miss the bus.
I have to go.
I don't want to miss my plane.
Well, at the beginning of this conversation, Lilly says, "Do you have a direct
flight?" What is a direct flight?
It's a flight with no stops.
Of course, Ken says, "I make two stops." This is how you talk about stops.
You can make a stop somewhere.
I was driving down the road.
I made a stop at the gas station.
Let's make a stop at the restaurant.
Let's get something to eat.
Let's make a stop there.
Lily says, "How much time do you have between flights?" How much time do you
have for something?
How much time do you have with us?
How much time do you have to talk?
Well, we don't have time right now.
We need to review our lesson.
Here we go.
More than 1.5 billion people fly somewhere every year.
Are you planning a trip?
Think about these things.
1. Can you fly early in the morning or late at night?
Those flights often cost less.
2. Choose a flight with stops.
These flights can be cheaper than direct flights.
3. Do you change planes?
How much time do you have between flights?
Plan enough time.
Or you may miss your plane.

Are you driving?
No. I'm flying.
That's great.
