(Music).
Hello, everyone, and welcome to Let’s Talk in English right here at The Mall.
My name is Tom.
And as you can see, I am pretty excited today.
I got something new.
Well, it’s not new, but I got it online.
You’re going to find out today what it is that is inside this case.
Friends, are you ready to learn something new?
I have another question.
Do you like music?
Well, today’s lesson has a little bit to do with music.
You’re going to find out more.
And right now we’re going to find out what today’s FIND IT question is.
The question today is ”What does Tom really need?”.
Here it is again.
What does Tom really need?
Hmm. That’s a good question.
What do I really need?
Well, we’re going to find out today.
Right now let’s go and learn more with Christina.
Welcome to the Information Desk.
I’m Christina.
(Chinese).
right.
Most people write with their right hand.
OK. Are you ready to meet Tom and Pam at the bookstore?
Let’s go!
Hey, Pam. Look at this!
Is that a violin?
Yes!
Where did you get it?
I got it online. I love the violin!
Can you play the violin?
No. But I can learn.
Do you have a book about violins?
Maybe. Let me look.
Thanks!
Yes, it’s true, Amy.
I do love the violin.
Well, hello, friends.
My name is Tom as you know.
I’m here with Amy.
I was just telling her how much I love the violin.
I think that it sounds beautiful.
I love it when people play the violin.
So I now have a violin.
What is a violin?
Well, it’s our key word.
Why don’t you say it with us?
violin.
violin.
violin.
A violin is a small musical instrument with strings.
Let’s use this word in a sentence.
She really likes listening to violin music.
Hmm. I do too.
How about this?
The romantic couple was eating dinner.
A man played the violin next to them.
Oh, that is sweet.
Amy, is that a story about you?
Were you having a romantic dinner, and then someone played the violin next to
you?
No, although I wish that happened.
Let’s look at this next key word.
It’s play.
play.
play.
Now, Tom, can you play the violin?
Can I play the violin?
Well, no, I can’t play the violin yet.
But I think that I can learn how to play the violin.
That’s good.
When you play something, you are using it.
You can use it with music.
Or you can use the word play with sports.
For example, can you play basketball?
Can you play basketball?
Can you play soccer?
Can you play the violin?
Can you play... piano?
That was the piano, wasn’t it? Yes.
All right, well, anyway, there are different musical instruments, aren’t there,
Amy?
There are. And you can learn how to play all of them.
Well, maybe I can.
I think that musical instruments are fun to play.
Even though I don’t know how to play very many of them.
I do know how to play the drums.
Amy, what musical instrument would you like to learn how to play?
Hmm, I will love to learn how to play the cello.
The cello is a bigger string instrument.
Ooh, the cello. C-E-L-L-O.
It’s like a big violin.
Well, anyway, friends, let’s review these key words.
The first one is violin.
violin.
I love the violin. Its music is beautiful.
play.
play.
Helen can play the piano really well.
Well, good job, friends.
Let’s go to Conversation B.
Here is one.
Anyone Can Play the Violin.
Great! Read me lesson one.
OK. First, put the violin under your chin.
Like this?
No. You’re holding it wrong.
Look at this picture.
Oh. I hold it this way.
Yes. Next hold the neck of the violin in your left hand.
Oh, this is fun!
Pam is helping Tom to learn how to play violin.
Now first, Pam says, ”Put the violin under your chin.”.
And chin is our first key word.
chin.
chin.
Your chin is the very middle bottom part of your face.
Now, Tom, do you have hair on your chin?
Hair on my chin?
Well, I guess... I guess I do feel a little bit of hair on my chin.
That’s right.
Friends, I do have a little hair on my chin.
That’s called a beard.
Now I don’t have a big beard right now.
But if you have a beard, that means you have hair on your chin. B-E-A-R-D.
Do you have a beard on your chin?
No. I don’t have a beard on my chin.
Let’s use this word in another example.
Ouch! My chin hurts.
Someone hit me yesterday in the chin.
Amy, where? Who?
Who hit you?
You did.
I did?
OK!
Just kidding!
Sorry, sorry about hitting you in the chin.
I won’t do it again.
Well, Pam is suggesting some things to me about how to play the violin.
She told me that I’m holding it wrong.
That’s OK, because hold is our key word.
Say this word with me.
hold.
hold.
hold.
When you hold something, you have it in your hands.
You are holding it.
Mmhm, and for me, when I watch scary movies, I have to hold someone’s hand.
Yes. Yes, it’s true.
And sometimes it hurts when you need to hold someone’s hand during a movie.
Well, you can use this word in many ways.
Let’s use it again.
I’m holding the baby.
Can you please open the door for us?
(Background Noise).
That’s very nice.
Where is your baby?
Oh, well, it’s not really a baby.
It was just a... a sentence with our key word, Amy.
I don’t have a baby.
Oh, OK. Well, then let’s look at our next key word.
The word is left.
left. left.
This is the left side of your body.
Not the right.
Do you write and do things with your left hand?
If you do, then we say you are left-handed.
Oh, you are left-handed.
Maybe you write or maybe you do other things with the left side of your body or
your left hand.
You are left-handed.
Well, I’m not left-handed.
I am right-handed.
So I play the drums but my left hand is not as good as my right hand because I
am not left-handed.
I am also right-handed.
I do more things with my right hand.
Now are you left-handed or right-handed?
Either way, let’s review our key words.
The first word is chin.
chin.
Your chin is under your mouth.
hold.
hold.
Can you hold these books for me?
left.
left.
Steve put his left hand on the door.
Well, good job, friends.
Let’s go to Conversation C.
Now what?
Hold the bow in your right hand.
OK. What’s next?
Put the bow on the strings.
Now pull it.
OK.
(Background Noise).
Hey! I played the violin!
You did.
Do you want the book?
Yes!
You really need one more thing.
What?
A good violin teacher!
(Background Noise).
Well, friends, right here we did find the answers to today’s FIND IT question.
The question is ”What does Tom really need?”.
What does Tom really need?
He really needs a good violin teacher.
Yes, it’s true.
I guess I really do need a good violin teacher.
Um, I’m not sure what Pam meant by that.
I think that I played the violin.
It sounds OK.
But it’s always good to have a teacher to teach you how to do things the right
way.
Hey, speaking of that word right.
That’s one of our key words.
Say it with me.
right.
right.
right.
We talked about the key word ”left” before, and we also mentioned ”right”.
Your right side is the other side of your body.
It is not the left side.
Your right side.
Now with English, you read from left to right.
But some languages you read right to left.
That’s right!
Correct.
Yes. You read from right to left in some languages.
And in some countries you must shake hands with your right hand. That’s good.
Actually, I think in most countries you shake hands with your right hand.
That sounds right.
That does sound right.
Of course, in some countries you don’t shake hands at all.
Well, you know this word ”right”.
Let’s move on to something else in this conversation.
Pam says, ”Do you want the book?”.
Do you want the book?
Well, of course, I want the book.
But she’s not saying I can have it for free, is she?
I don’t think so.
I think you need to buy it.
She’s just wondering if you want it.
That’s right!
Correct.
Well, friends, let’s review this key word.
It is the word right.
right.
Karen writes with her right hand.
All right, go, Karen.
So do I.
Well, friends, we want to thank you right now.
We’re going to take a break.
But don’t go away.
We’ll be right back.
