Are you ready?
I'm ready.
OK.
Lights.
Camera.
Let's Talk in English.
Hi, everyone.
I'm glad you joined us.
My name is Andrea.
And I am Gabe.
We have been talking a little bit about sports, and today there is a special
sport we want to talk about.
It is football or American football.
The name of today's lesson is The Super Bowl.
It's a really big event where you celebrate and watch people playing football.
Yes, the Super Bowl.
Now people who love sports watch the Super Bowl.
And people who don't even really like sports do watch the Super Bowl.
It happens once a year.
Well, we have a lot to learn about this special day.
You'll find all of today's key words in our Read It!
So open your magazine.
Here we go.
(Music).
Many people like to watch football.
It is many Americans' favorite sport.
NFL football is especially popular.
The NFL championship game is called the Super Bowl.
This year's Super Bowl is on February 5.
Tickets to the Super Bowl are hard to get, and they are very expensive.
Each ticket costs more than $2,000!
Most people watch the Super Bowl on TV.
They have parties and watch the game with their friends.
Well, today we're learning about the Super Bowl.
It's a big game where people watch American football.
And what is a football?
Well, around the world this word "football" means different things.
In many places it's a round ball, and two teams play with this ball, and they
kick it.
They're not supposed to use their hands.
But that is not the kind of football we're talking about today.
Andrea, what kind of football are we talking about today?
Well, we're talking about a football that you can hold in your hands.
Players carry the football and throw it to other players on their team.
This is also called American football.
It's a different sport, and it also uses a very different ball.
This ball is not round.
No, it's not round.
It's kind of unusual.
But football can be a very fun sport.
Andrea, this is an American football.
Um, and this word "American" is also an adjective.
I just wanted to ask you: Do you enjoy being American?
Uh, Gabe, I... I... I don't enjoy being American because I'm not American.
Oh, because... wait, where are you from?
Well, I'm from Canada, so I am Canadian.
I'm not from America.
I'm not American.
OK. Well, you're Canadian.
I'm American.
Friends, people are from different places.
And if you are from America, you are an American.
Andrea is from Canada.
She is Canadian.
Remember that.
She is not American.
Right.
But we also want you to remember this key word.
Now it can be an adjective when you are describing American things like American
football, American movies, or American food.
But in our Read It, it is a noun, talking about the people from America.
And I think American people are great people - many of them.
Well, if you go to an American football game, you need a ticket.
Tickets are not cheap.
It's expensive to go to an American football game.
But what else do you need tickets for, Andrea?
What other kinds of things do you need tickets for?
Well, if you want to go and see a movie, you need a movie ticket.
If you're going to travel by plane, you need an airplane ticket.
If you're going to a concert, you need a concert ticket.
So the ticket will allow you to do something, and of course, you usually pay
money for the ticket.
And if you don't have a lot of money, you can't see an American football game
live.
But maybe you can have a party and watch it on TV.
You can watch the Super Bowl on TV.
Do you like to have parties?
What kinds of parties can you have?
I like to have parties and I like to go to parties.
A party or parties.
When you're talking about two or more, it becomes P-A-R-T-I-E-S.
Well, our party here at the studio continues with Christina.
(Chinese).
And now let's continue with our program.
$220... $240... $250...
Hey! What are you doing?
I'm counting my money.
But why?
I want to find out if I have enough.
Enough for what?
Well, enough money to buy tickets for the Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl?
What's that?
It's the NFL championship game - the biggest football game of the year.
Oh...
$260... $270...
You can stop counting.
You have enough.
Oh, no, I don't.
Tickets are more than $2,000!
$2,000!
Wow!
Just watch the game at home and invite your friends.
But my TV is too small.
So spend your money on a big screen TV.
Yeah. Then we can all watch the Super Bowl.
Yeah, and have a super bowl of snacks.
Do you have bananas?
Super bowl...
