Hi, everyone. And welcome to The Mall.
Let’s Talk in English.
I’m Andrea.
Well friends, today we continue our lesson about animal drawing.
Yesterday we found out that Tom is going to be a judge for the drawing contest.
Let’s learn more about it today.
Well friends, let’s also look at today’s FIND IT question.
What animal is not a jungle animal?
What animal is not a jungle animal?
Listen for the answer to that question.
I know that you can find it.
You will also find more information from Christina.
Let’s go to the Information Desk.
Hello.
(Chinese).
Welcome to the Information Desk.
(Chinese).
Let’s look at another drawing.
This is a great picture.
It’s a hippo.
You’re right.
Hippos are interesting.
They can run in the water.
Really?
Yes! And hippo means river horse.
Really?
Hippos are big.
And horses are big.
I like horses.
What about you?
I like hippos.
I like hippos too.
Well friedns, let’s keep talking about animals together.
Well, Tom has another drawing.
And Tom, what animal are you looking at?
I’m looking at a drawing of a hippo.
Now the long or real word for hippo is hippopotamus.
It’s kind of long.
But a hippo is a river horse or it means river horse.
So a hippo is a very big animal.
And you can find hippos near the water.
Many of them like to stay in the water.
And it’s true.
Hippos can run underwater.
So the word hippo means river horse.
Right.
Hippo or hippopotamus means river horse because they’re like horses but running
underwater.
Wow.
Yeah.
You know, many people think that hippos look cute.
But actually they’re pretty dangerous animals.
So you don’t want to get too close to a hippopotamus.
That is true.
But it is fun to learn more about it.
Hippos or hippopotamuses.
And friends, we did learn that the word ”hippo” means river horse.
Now horse is another key word.
A horse is also an animal.
Horses are big and strong.
And horses can do many things.
Right.
That’s right.
Some people enjoy riding horses.
I know I do.
And in some places, horses actually work.
They pull things.
Or maybe they even pull wagons with people inside.
I really do like horses.
And I think that some people like to keep horses as pets.
They’re pretty big and they can be expensive.
But horses make very nice pets too.
Well, we learn that horses are big.
And hippos are big.
Well friends, it’s good to learn how to describe animals.
And I think that Tom and Emma gave us a good example.
Now it’s time for us to review our key words together. And Tom, can you begin?
Sure.
My favorite.
hippo.
hippopotamus.
hippo.
hippopotamus.
Hippos like the water a lot.
They can run in the water.
horse.
horse.
Hazel’s family has horses on their farm.
Yes, a horse is an animal that you can see on a farm.
Well Tom, you said that you like hippos, right?
Yes, I do like hippos.
You do?
Yes.
I had a toy hippo once.
What was your toy hippo’s name?
His name was Horse.
That’s funny.
And did you know?
Hippos and pigs are in the same family!
You do know a lot about hippos.
What about this drawing?
Nice!
It’s a zebra.
Zabras look like horses.
They have black and white stripes.
I know that!
I also like the drawing of the zebra.
Zebras are interesting animals.
They sure are.
They’re usually black and white.
Well, they are black and white.
And they look a lot like horses to me.
That’s true.
Well, zebra is one of our key words.
A zebra is an animal.
When you see a zebra, you can see that it is black and white.
It has black and white lines across its body.
And a zebra does look like a horse, right, Tom?
It does look like a horse.
You know, I have never seen a zebra except in a zoo.
But I think that there are many zebras in Africa.
You can see zebras and giraffes in Africa.
So zebras look like horses.
We also see this phrase:
look like.
If one thing looks like another thing, we can say it looks like it.
For example, maybe you have a brother or sister.
Maybe you look the same in some way.
You can say I look like my brother or I look like my sister.
Yes.
I have two dogs that look like each other.
Hmm.
Well, some people say that I look like my mom.
Others say that I look like my dad.
Hmm. I wonder what is true.
Well friends, Tom told us a lot about hippos.
He knows a lot about animals, doesn’t he?
Tom tells us that hippos and another animal are in the same family.
Do you remember the name of the other animal?
Oh, I do! I do!
Tom said that pigs and hippos are in the same family.
That’s right.
And it seems like they both like water.
Hmm, that is true.
Well friends, pig is also a key word.
A pig is a farm animal.
Pigs have a big body,
but they have very short legs.
If you go to a farm, you can see pigs.
Now sometimes you can also find pigs in other parts of the world.
But we usually think of pigs as farm animals.
Yes, we do.
And pigs are cute when they’re little.
They’re very smart.
But when a pig gets bigger, it looks kind of fat and makes funny noises.
Hmm, that... that’s a very interesting noise that a pig makes.
Yeah.
Yeah, that’s true.
We can practice that.
But first, let’s practice our keys words together.
And the first one is pig.
Tom, can you help us with that one?
All right.
The word:
pig.
pig.
Pigs are animals.
They get dirty a lot.
zebra.
(Music).
zebra.
Ken’s favorite animal is a zebra.
Great job, everyone.
Well, Tom and Emma, I’ll let you continue.
Many children drew jungle animals.
The contest is at the Jungle Cafe.
Yeah.
Look at the colors on this parrot!
And here’s a koala.
A koala is not a jungle animal.
But this snake is!
You can find these long snakes in the jungle.
I like this drawing!
Tom, can you really be a judge?
Sure! Why?
You like all the drawings.
Well, they are all great drawings, aren’t they?
I think so.
I think all these drawings are great.
It is interesting to see how the children drew the different animals.
And a lot of them are jungle animals.
But one of the drawings is not.
Friends, did you find it?
I found it.
What animal is not a jungle animal?
Friends, a koala is not a jungle animal.
No, a koala is not a jungle animal.
But koala is a key word.
Koalas are very cute animals.
Koalas look like small bears.
But they are not bears.
Where do you find koalas?
Well, if you visit the country of australia, you can see a koala.
And koalas are actually very friendly animals.
Usually you can pick them up and hold them.
And koalas really do like to sleep.
Have you ever seen a koala?
I think koalas like to stay up in trees, don’t they?
They’re so cute.
I want to hold one.
That’s true. Koalas like to climb trees and eat leaves.
Actually, koalas seem to eat leaves all day long.
They are cute animals.
Maybe you can learn more about koalas.
Well friends, we have another key word in this conversation.
It is an animal.
Tom, what is it?
Well, it’s the key word.
An animal:
parrot.
A parrot is a kind of bird.
And usually it’s a very beautiful and colorful bird.
That’s right.
Sometimes parrots are small.
Sometimes they’re big.
Parrots sometimes can talk.
(Backgroud Noise).
Hello! Hello!
That’s true.
Parrots can sometimes repeat what people say.
So if you say hello to a parrot, it might say hello back at you.
Well, we do have a parrot on our show sometimes.
Do you remember his name?
I know.
His name is Humphrey.
And he’s sitting right here next to me.
Sounds good.
Humphey is our bird.
He is a parrot and he helps us with the Question of the Day.
Well friends, can you help us review our key words?
Well, sure. I can help.
How about:

Koalas are soft animals.
They eat leaves.
And the other key word is...

Well done, everyone.
Now let’s take a break and then we will be right back.
