(Music).
Hello, everyone.
And welcome to The Mall.
I’m so glad you joined me and our friends here again today.
My name is Andrea.
So how are you?
How are you?
That is also the title of our lesson today.
This week we are talking about feelings,
how to express how you feel.
Do you remember that key word from yesterday?
Express.
Well friends, today we’ll see another friend express how he feels.
I have something that I want you to look for.
It is the answer to today’s FIND IT.
The question is:
What does Tom want?
What does Tom want?
Well friends, what do you want?
Oh, you want to start our lesson.
Good idea.
Well, let’s begin today’s conversation.
(Chinese).
Please don’t bother me.
All right.
Let’s go see what our friends are doing at the mall.
Hey, Pam.
How are you?
Fine.
How are you, Tom?
I’m great!
That’s good.
OK. See you.
Bye.
Wait.
Do you really care?
About what?
About my answer to your question.
What question?
Oh. How are you?
I was just greeting you.
Oh. OK. Bye.
Well, Tom sees Pam at the mall and says:
How are you?
Pam says:
Fine.
How are you?
I’m fine.
We often answer with ”I’m fine” to the question: How are you?
You can also say:
I’m great.
That’s what Tom answers when Pam says:
How are you?
How are you?
I’m fine.
How are you?
I’m great.
How are you?
I’m not very good.
We don’t usually say ”I’m not very good” right away because ”How are you” is
often just a greeting.
Now what is a greeting?
Well, a greeting is a way that you can say hello to someone.
You can greet people in different ways.
You can use your hand and say hello.
Or you can greet someone by giving them a hug.
You can also greet people by shaking their hand or even giving them a pat on the
back.
Different ways to greet people.
And of course, we can also greet people with our words.
How are you?
Hello.
Nice to see you.
Wow! It’s been a while.
All different ways to greet people.
Well, how is Pam?
She’s not really that good, is she?
But she’s not sure if Tom really wants to hear her answer.
So Pam says:
Do you really care?
Does Tom really care?
Well, I do care about this key word.
When you care about something, you are interested in it.
You want to make sure everything is OK for that person.
I care about you.
I hope that you’re OK.
When you care about things, they are special to you,
and they are important to you.
What do you care about?
Do you care about your family and your friends?
I’m sure you do.
When you care about something, it’s special and important to you.
Does Tom care about Pam’s answer?
Well, we will find out.
I do care about our key word,
so why don’t we review it together?
Say it with me.
The key word is...
care.
care.
Darlene cares about poor people.
She gives them money.
Now listen as Tom and Pam keep talking.
Wait a minute.
I do care.
How are you, Pam?
I’m fine.
I was just curious.
What do you mean?
Everyone asks that question.
How are you?
Not many people want a real answer.
Well, I want a real answer.
How are you really feeling?
I’m really feeling... fine.
Are you sure?
Be honest.
Talk to me, Pam.
Wait a minute.
This is what Tom says at the beginning of the conversation.
Wait a minute.
He wants Pam to stop walking away and come back and keep talking to him.
We can say ”Oh, wait a minute” when you want someone to stop,
or ”Wait a minute” when you just want someone to wait a little bit before they
go.
Wait a minute.
I’ll be right back.
Or wait a minute.
I’m not ready to go.
Wait a minite.
I want to talk to you.
Different ways that you can use this phrase.
Well friends, we found something in this conversation, didn’t we?
Did you FIND IT?
The question is:
What does Tom want?
What does Tom want?
Tom wants a real answer.
He wants a real answer from Pam.
And real is one of our key words.
When something is real, that means it is true.
If I am feeling very sad, and someone asks me ”How are you?” and I say ”Oh, I’m
fine”,
is that a real answer?
No, that is not a real answer.
It’s not true.
It’s good to give people real answers.
That shows that you are telling them, you are expressing how you really feel.
And Tom does want a real answer from Pam.
He wants Pam to be honest.
Now when we are honest, we say what is real or we say what is true.
If I say that I am nineteen years old, am I being honest?
No, I am not being honest.
That’s not my real age.
Well friends, I want us to review these key words.
I’m being honest.
This is real.
This is what we are going to do right now.
The first key word here is...
real.
real.
Does this clock work?
Is that the real time?
The next one is...
honest.
honest.
Monica is an honest person.
You can trust her.
Great job, everyone.
Now let’s go back to our conversation.
I am talking to you, Tom.
Well, then tell me the truth.
I am telling you the truth.
Pam, I’m here now.
I’m listening.
I’m not going anywhere.
How do you feel?
How do I feel?
Not very good now.
You are bothering me.
Oh. Sorry.
How does Pam feel?
Well, Tom is bothering her.
And I think she just expressed the truth.
She told the truth.
Well friends, what is the truth?
The truth is what is real.
Tell me the truth.
Tell me how you are really feeling.
If someone does not tell you the truth, well, then they might be telling you a
lie.
L-I-E.
A lie is the opposite of the truth.
Well, Tom wants to know the truth.
He wants to know how Pam is feeling.
And at the end of our conversation, the truth is that Tom is bothering Pam.
Tom is bothering her.
Now what does it mean to bother someone?
Well, when you bother someone, you do something that makes them a little bit
mad.
When you bother someone, they don’t really want to be around you anymore.
You bother them.
A little brother might bother his big sister.
A cat can bother a dog.
If something is bothering you, well, then maybe you will say something or maybe
you’ll just walk away.
If you see that someone is a little mad or unhappy, you can say:
What’s bothering you?
It’s another way to say:
What is wrong?
Well friends, I hope that nothing is bothering you right now.
It’s time for us to review our key words together.
And that is the truth.
Are you ready?
Here we go.
Our first key word is...
truth.
truth.
What happened to my car?
I want the truth.
I want to know what really happened there.
The next one is the verb:
bother.
bother.
Don’t bother Dad right now.
He is really busy.
Well friends, it is time for us to take a break.
And we’ll be rightback.
