Hi, everyone.
And welcome to Let’s Talk in English at The Mall.
My name is Andrea.
And we have another day of learning here at the mall together.
I have something that I want you to find in today’s lesson.
So you need a question.
Can you find it?
Can you find the answer to this question?
What does Emma need help with?
What does Emma need help with?
Well friends, this week we are talking about spring.
There’s many wonderful things to talk about.
And today we’re going to talk about flowers and some more things too.
It’s time for us to learn some things to help us with our lesson.
Let’s go to the Information Desk.
(Chinese).
Well, my plan is to visit our friends at the Jungle Cafe.
Let’s go.
Then after our bike ride on Saturday, my friends want to eat.
OK.
I can go to.
Hey, do you guys like these flowers in the vase?
Sure. They look nice.
Thanks.
I have only four more vases to go.
Do you need help, Emma?
Sure. Do you know how to arrange flowers?
No.
I’ll teach you.
So Emma is going to teach them how to arrange flowers.
Well, at the beginning of the conversation, Emma asks a question.
She says:
Do you guys like these flowers in the vase?
Hmm. Well, the guys say: Sure. They look nice.
But let’s look at this key word:
vase.
Now you can also say:
vase.
vase or vase.
They both mean the same thing.
Now what is a vase?
Well, it’s a place where you can put flowers,
especially for flowers that are inside.
Maybe you go to your garden and you cut some flowers or you pick some flowers to
bring into your house.
Then you put some water in a vase.
And then you put the flowers in the vase.
Flowers look beautiful when they are in a vase or when they are in a vase.
We have another key word in this conversation.
This one is a verb: arrange.
And here we are talking about arranging flowers.
And let’s talk about this verb: arrange.
When you arrange something, you put it together in a special way.
When you arrange it, you want it to look nice.
Now when you arrange flowers, you choose where to put each flower.
Maybe you think about the color of the flower or the kind of flower.
We also arrange other things.
You can arrange your room.
You decide where to put your bed, where to put a desk and maybe a chair.
You can arrange a place for a party.
Or you can arrange the things on your desk so you know where they are.
Well, let’s review these key words together.
The first one is a noun.
It is...
vase or vase.
vase.
vase.
Mom puts the flowers in a vase.
The next one is...
arrange.
arrange.
Miranda arranged the flowers for the wedding.
Great job.
Well, we also found the answer to our FIND IT question in this conversation.
What does Emma need help with?
What does Emma need help with?
She needs help arranging flowers.
Well, let’s continue with today’s lesson.
First, you need a vase, flowers, a rubber band, scissors and water.
Fill the vase with water.
Take the flowers and decide where you will cut the stems.
Cut the stems at an angle.
This will help the flowers get more water.
Put the rubber band around the flowers.
Then put the flowers in the vase.
Well, we just learned how to arrange flowers.
And let’s look at some key words in these steps.
We learned that first you need a vase, flowers, a rubber band, scissors and
water.
These are all the things you need to arrange flowers.
And we need to look at that key word:
scissors.
scissors.
Now scissors are something that you use to cut.
You hold scissors in your hand.
You open them up and then you close them.
That’s how you cut something.
Now of course to arrange flowers, you cut the stems of the flowers.
Sometimes flowers can be very long.
Maybe you have to cut the stems to make the flowers shorter.
We use scissors to cut many things.
I often use scissors to cut paper.
Or I use scissors to cut wrapping paper when I need to wrap a gift.
Maybe you have some scissors at school or at work.
People often have scissors on their desk or in their desk.
They’re something that we do use a lot.
Now when you’re talking about the noun, you must say:
scissors.
You don’t just say:
Oh, can I have a scissor?
No, no, you say:
Can I have some scissors?
I need to cut some paper.
Can you give me your scissors?
All right.
Well, we see another key word here.
It is the verb:
decide.
Now let’s look at what we learned about flower arranging again.
Take the flowers and decide where to cut the stems.
decide.
Now when you decide something, that means you choose it.
Every day we have to decide many things.
You decide what you want to wear.
You decide what you want to eat.
You decide what you want to do.
Many times when you decide something, you have a few things to choose from.
Well, I hope that you decide to review these key words with me.
Yes?
All right.
Well, let’s review them together.
The first one is...
scissors.
scissors.
Please cut this paper with those scissors.
decide.
decide.
Where do you want to eat?
Can you decide?
Well, I decide that it’s time to continue with our next conversation.
That was fun.
Yeah.
I like flowers,
especially daisies.
They’re such happy flowers.
You’re right.
They are.
Hey, let’s go on our bike ride now.
We can go look at flowers in the River Park.
Tom, it’s nine o’clock at night.
Oh, right.
The flowers will still be there on Saturday.
OK. Let’s stick to our plan for Saturday morning then.
Yes, I think it’s a good idea to stick to the plan for Saturday morning.
Well, Tom is excited about the bike ride and he’s going to stick to the plan.
Well, we are also going to stick to our plan on the show.
That means we look at key words together.
And the first one in this conversation is an idiom.
It is...
stick to.
stick to.
Now when you stick to something, that means you don’t change it.
When you stick to something, you stay with it; you keep on going.
Tom says:
Let’s stick to our plan for Saturday morning.
That means he’s not going to change the plan.
He’s going to go with what they already decided.
Now what are some things that we need to stick to?
Well, you can stick to exercising every week.
Sometimes it might get hard and maybe you’re tired and want to give up.
But stick to it.
Don’t stop.
Many times with English, with learning English, it’s kind of hard, right?
But stick to it.
Keep going.
Don’t stop.
You can do it.
You are doing it.
I know you can.
Well, we have another key word to look at.
It is the noun:
plan.
plan.
Now your plan for something is what you decide to do.
Maybe you make a plan for a meeting.
Or if you’re taking a trip, you make a plan for what you want to do.
If you plan to do your homework, be sure to stick to it.
Well, let’s review these key words together.
The first one is...
stick to.
stick to.
Don’t change the story.
Stick to what happened.
plan.

Laurie likes to have a plan.
She thinks ahead.
Well, what’s on our plan?

And it’s time for us to take a break.
But we’ll be right back.
Stick to it.
