(Music).
Well friends, it's time to review with What's that Word?
What's that Word?
What's that Word?
Yes! Here is your word for today.
Now, the word has letters, but they are not in the right place.
You have to put them in the right place, and you will find a key word.
Here are the letters: R-O-S-T-O-E-C.
Now which key word is this?
Gabe, can you find out?
OK, hold on.
R-O-S-T-O-E-C. It has an R in it.
"Motorcycle" has an R in it.
But it's not "motorcycle." It's kind of like a motorcycle, a little smaller than
a motorcycle.
Friends, do you know what the word is?
That's right, scooter.
R-O-S-T-O-E-C becomes S-C-O-O-T-E-R.
A scooter.
That's right, a scooter.
Now, be careful when you ride your scooter.
Now it's time for us to see how we can use these key words in our conversations.
Let's begin with Conversation A.
Hi, Ken.
Did you ride your bike to work this morning?
Yes, I did. I can ride to work in 20 minutes.
That's great. And you get some exercise.
Yes. I like that.
How do you get to work, Lily?
I usually drive my car.
You have a car?
Yes. I take the bus sometimes too.
Lily starts Conversation A by asking a question.
She says, "Did you ride your bike to work this morning?" If you want to know how
someone got from their home to work, you can ask this question.
Did you ride your bike to work this morning?
Did you ride your motorcycle to school today?
Did you ride your scooter to the mall?
Or, did you take a bus to work today?
This is a good question to ask when you want to find out more about how a person
got from one place to another place, or from here to there.
Well, let's look at another sentence in Conversation A.
I usually drive my car.
Ken asks Lilly, "How do you get to work, Lily?" Lily says, "I usually drive my
car." So maybe not every day, but she usually drives her car.
You can say, "I usually ride my bike to work," or "I usually walk to work."
Well, we usually have more to talk about.
Let's see another example of how we can use our key words in Conversation B.
Is there a bus stop near your house?
No. It's about a mile away.
Then you get some exercise too.
Do you ever take a taxi?
I don't take a taxi to work.
Taxis are too expensive!
Do you ever ride a scooter or a motorcycle?
No. But can I ride your bike?
Now? Do you need to go somewhere?
No. I just like your bike!
Cute. I just like your bike.
Well, Ken does have a very nice bike.
I should like to borrow it too.
At the beginning of this conversation, Ken asks, "Is there a bus stop near your
house?" Is there a something?
This is a good question.
Is there a movie theater in your city?
Is there a Chinese restaurant in this neighborhood?
I want to eat Chinese food.
Is there a Chinese restaurant near here?
Lily says, "No. It's about a mile away." The bus stop is about a mile away.
You can use this phrase to talk about other things.
It's about two blocks away.
Or, the Chinese restaurant is about three kilometers away.
You can also use this phrase to talk about time.
It's about an hour away.
That means you have to drive for an hour before you get there.
There are different ways to use these phrases.
Practice them today.
Right now it's time for us to learn something else with Christina.
(Chinese).
And now let's review today's lesson.
How do you get to work or school?
Do you live close to work or school?
Then you might ride a bike.
You can get some exercise on your way.
Maybe you live far from work or school.
You might drive a car.
Some people ride scooters or motorcycles.
You could also take a bus, train, taxi or subway.
There are many different ways to get around!

I can ride to work in 20 minutes.
That's great.
And you get some exercise.
Yes. I like that.

We learned a lot together today.
Now let's review and practice and think about what we learned with our "Answer
it!" questions.
Here is question number one.
How does Lily get to work?
How does Lily get to work?
Well, I think the answer was in Conversation A.
Usually Lily drives her car, but she takes the bus sometimes.
Is that right, Andrea?
That is right.
We are talking about how to get from here to there.
OK, here is the next question.
How do you get to work or school?
Uh Gabe, how do you get to work or school?
I would love to answer this question.
I don't go to school anymore... maybe I will in the future.
But for now, I use my scooter... I ride my scooter to work.
But don't worry, Andrea.
I'm a very careful driver.
OK, I'm very glad to hear that.
Well, friends, it's been fun talking about how to get from here to there.
We hope to see you again right here tomorrow on Let's Talk...
In English.
Goodbye.
Bye-bye.
