Hey, everyone. Welcome to Let’s Talk in English on PTS and the radio.
My name is Billy.
And my name is Andrea.
Today, On the Go, we are going to learn about in-line skating.
In-line skating.
That sounds like so much fun.
And something else that’s really a lot of fun is reviewing our key words.
Come on!
Let’s do it together.
Here we go.
The first one is, surprise, in-line skating.

Oh, yeah.
Good job, everyone.
Now it’s time for us to go see our good friend Eddy!
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So... so uh, when do I get to go On the Go?
On the Go, Eddy.
You wanna go On the Go.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you’re actually a pretty short uh... animal.
(Background Noise).
Short animals do not go On the Go, but they can give us Today’s Mission.
Oh. We’ll see about that, won’t we?
OK.
Today’s Mission.
What are two ways to stop when you’re in-line skating?
What are two ways to stop when you’re in-line skating?
Let’s find out as we go On the Go!
(Chinese).
Hi, everyone.
Today, we’re in the park and we’re learning about in-line skating.
Watch out!
Oh, my gosh!
Hey, are you all right?
Yeah. Hey, I’m sorry I ran into you.
This is my first time.
I’m just trying out my new in-line skates.
Oh, really?
Well, hey, I can help you if you want.
Sure!
Great!
Well, then join me and everyone else as we learn about the fast world of in-line
skating On the Go!
(Background Noise).
In-line skating is a fun indoor and outdoor activity.
It is a cool, fashionable and fun sport for kids and adults.
In-line skating is like roller skating, but the skates are different.
In-line skates are more comfortable and easier to use when skating around.
Roller skates have four wheels - two side by side in front and two in back.
But in-line skates have three or four wheels in a line.
That’s why they’re called in-line skates.
(Music).
So we’re going in-line skating.
That sounds like fun.
And we met a new friend.
His name is Howie, right?
That’s right.
But Howie needs a little help.
He’s just learning how to in-line skate.
And Campbell is going to teach him.
And we’re going to teach you some key words.
What are our key words in this conversation, Andrea?
Well, our first one is in-line skating.
All right.
Let’s look at that first.
in-line skating.
in-line skating.
Now in-line skating is a sport.
This is a noun phrase.
It’s something you can do outside for fun.
What you do is use in-line skates to roll around outside.
Yes. So instead of skating on ice, you skate on the road or on a sidewalk.
That’s right.
And you skate in a specific way.
You use in-line skates.
Let’s look at that key word.
in-line skates.
in-line skates.
Now as it said, in the On the Go, in-line skates are skates with three or four
wheels and the wheels are in a line.
That means one is behind the other.
They’re not beside each other.
Now you also heard Campbell talk about roller skates.
Roller skates are like the old version of in-line skates.
They have four wheels, but two wheels are beside each other in the back and two
are in the front.
So in-line skating is newer; it’s cooler; it’s hipper.
Everybody, get out and do some in-line skating.
But for now, let’s go learn some more from our good friend Thomas.
(Background Noise).
(Chinese).
Hey, nice skates, Howie.
Thanks.
Now there are two important things you need to practice if you want to skate
well.
What are they?
Well, first you need to practice your balance.
OK. Good.
Then second, you need to know how to stop.
Do you know how to stop?
No.
That’s OK.
I can show you.
Come one.
There are two ways to stop.
The first way is to use the brakes.
The brakes are on the back of your skates.
To stop, just lift up the front of your foot.
This presses down on the brakes and you will stop.
The other way to stop is to bring one foot behind the other and make a T.
This is called the T-stop.
What if I fall down?
Hmm. Good question.
Well, then you can wear knee pads.
The knee pads will protect your knees if you fall.
OK.
Is this everything I need?
Well, you should also wear wrist guards.
These wrist guards will protect your hands and wrists.
Great.
Now let me take you to a place where you can practice your skating. Let’s go!
(Music).
Well friends, we found the answer to Today’s Mission in that segment of On the
Go.
The question is: What are two ways to stop when you’re in-line skating?
What are two ways to stop when you’re in-line skating?
One is to use the brake, the other is to use the T-stop.
The T-stop.
You know, that sounds really cool.
Oh, yeah.
The T-stop.
All right, friends, we have some cool words to learn.
The first one is...
balance.
balance.
Now when you’re in-line skating, it’s important to keep your balance.
When you balance yourself, you make sure you don’t go one way too far or another
way too far.
You stay straight.
Right. If you go the other way too far, you might fall over.
Let me introduce you to my friend.
His name is Jim.
This is Jim.
See, he walks along.
Oh, he’s just walking.
But he doesn’t have good balance.
So sometimes when he’s walking, he... ah, falls over.
Oh, Jim, you’ve got bad balance.
And it’s especially important to have good balance when you use your brakes.
Our key word is...
brake.
brake.
Now your brakes are something that you use when you want to slow down or stop.
Now Andrea, on the in-line skates, is the brake on the back of the skate or the
front?
Well, usually the break is on the back of the skate.
But it takes a lot of practice to learn how to use the brake.
So the break is on the back of the skate.
So when you’re skating, if you want to stop, you just lean back on the back of
the skate and slow down.
All right, friends. Well, we have to learn some more about this from Thomas.
(Background Noise).
(Chinese).
(Music).
In-line skating can be done in many places.
You can skate on the road, on the sidewalk or areas like skate park.
You can skate in many places.
But the best places are in parks or skating rinks.
So where are we?
Well Howie, this is a skating rink.
It’s a good place for you to practice your skating without worrying about cars
or buses running into you.
It’s safer and a lot more fun.
It takes a lot of practice to skate well.
And you might fall down a lot.
But don’t worry.
Just get up and keep trying.
Children and adults in-line skate, and so can you.
Hey! It looks like our friend Howie is getting a lot better.
Oops! He just fell down.
Keep practicing, Howie!
Well everyone, thanks for joining us today on this in-line skating adventure.
I hope you had a lot of fun.
We’ll see you next time On the Go!
Bye!
(Music).
Oh, poor Howie. He is trying so hard to learn, but he fell down.
But at least he had his protection on. He had those pads, so he’s not going to
get hurt.
It’s important that even if you fall down, you should get up and keep trying,
keep going.
You can do it.
Howie, you can do it,
but I know you must be a little embarrassed because there were a bunch of kids
there and they’re like six or seven years old,
and they’re not falling down.
Hey, if they can do it, you can do it too.
Well, they probably spend a lot of time at the skate park.
Now that’s a safe place where you can go and practice your in-line skating.
All right.
Let’s learn our key word.
It is... skate.
skate.
Now a skate is a boot or shoe that you wear that has little wheels on the bottom
and let you skate - that’s a verb - around wherever you want to go.
In-line skates are one kind of skate.
Another kind are ice skates.
Now ice skates look like a shoe or a boot but they have a blade at the bottom
that helps you move around or skate on the ice.
So those skates don’t actually have wheels.
They have the blades, so you can move on the ice.
Either way, you’re wearing shoes that let you move around quickly.
Now you don’t want to forget your protection because you could fall down and get
hurt.
That’s right.
Wearing protection or pads is important when you’re playing any sport.
That is correct.
And right now it’s time to learn some more from Thomas.
