In English. Learning together can be fun. The journey's beun. The journey be hello. Oh, hi Daffhne. Dinner on Friday night. Well, sure. I don't have any plans. 7:30. Okay, that's fine. M. Mhm. Oh, sorry. Hold on, Daffhany. What's wrong, Campbell? Uh, Andrea, you can't have dinner with Daphne on Friday Night. Why not? Because you already said you would go out with me and Dan on Friday night. Oh, right. Oops. One second. Hi, Daffhne. Well, thanks for the invitation. I'm sorry, but could we change it to Saturday? Great. Okay, I'll see you Saturday then. Thank you.
Bye-bye. Oh, that was hard. What was hard? Well, saying no to Daphne. I hate turning down Invitations. I don't like to tell someone that I can't do something. I understand. I don't like turning people down either. I'd much rather accept invitations. Me, too. Well, speaking of accepting invitations, in yesterday's lesson, Mia accepted a lot of invitations from her friends. You know, I wonder how Jeff feels about the plans that Mia made for them. We'll find out. First, here's today's mission. What does Jeff want to do tonight? What does Jeff Want to do tonight? Listen for
that answer. Let's start our day with conversation A. You and Aaron should come to our place sometime. Can you join us for dinner on Sunday? Thanks, but we already have plans. What about another time? Okay. Well, let's talk about it tonight. See you. Bye. Hi, honey. Hi. I made some fun plans for this week. Oh, really? Yes. We have an invitation to go to the Harris's Tonight. Tomorrow we're going to Liz and Greg's for dinner. And this weekend we uh Mia, what? Hey students, can you join us as we teach conversation A? You can. That's
great. Well, let's get started. Thank you for joining us. Now here we see a sentence pattern. Can you join us for noun? Now you can use this sentence pattern when you want to invite someone to do something. For example, can you join us for a movie? Can you join us for Lunch? Can you join us for the meeting? Excellent. Well, see if you can use sentence pattern when you invite someone to do something. Now, let's learn our keywords. Our first keyword is plan. Plan. A plan is something that you've decided to do. If you've decided
to do something, then you have made a plan. You can say, "I have plans for the weekend." That means that you've decided to do things on the weekend. Or Wayne Has travel plans. He's decided to go to Beijing for a week. What a great plan. Our next key word is invitation. Invitation. When you invite someone to do something, you give them an invitation. Now, one way to give an invitation is just by talking to someone. You can give them an invitation by asking them to do something with you. For example, hey Andrea, do you want
to go to the movies with me on Friday night? Oh, yes, Campbell. I'd love to. Thanks for the invitation. Now, let's learn more about this conversation from Thomas. Hi, Thomas. You already accepted all these invitations. Yes, I'm making sure we spend time together this week. Hun, thanks for trying so hard. But maybe you're trying a little too hard. What do you mean? You're great at accepting invitations, but you need to learn how to turn down invitations, too. We need time for just the two of us. You're right. You know, this is something I have to
learn, too. I need to learn how to turn down invitations. Me, too. Sometimes I have a hard time saying no to people, but I need to learn how to accept invitations and also when to turn them down. Right. And we also need to learn that saying no to an invitation is okay. That's right. We don't have to accept all invitations. All right. Well, let's learn our key words here. Accept. accept. Now, when you accept an invitation, this means that you say yes when someone invites you to do something. If someone says, "Can you join me
for lunch?" and you say yes, then you've accepted the invitation. For example, Christine Accepted Seth's invitation to go to dinner on Friday. Now when you accept something, this can also mean that you take something that someone gives you. We can say Nora accepted the award for best singer. Okay, let's learn our next key word. Turn down. Turn down. Now to accept means to say yes. When you turn something down, this means you say no. When you can't accept an invitation, you turn down the invitation. We can say Lucy turned down the chance to go to
Europe. It was too expensive for her. Okay. Well, let's learn some more about this conversation from Thomas. So, what do you want to do tonight? I could teach you how to make Thai chicken. Hm. That's very kind of you, but I have to turn down your invitation. Oh, really? Why? Because my husband said I have to stop accepting so many invitations. Oh, Mia, I think she just didn't want to have a cooking lesson tonight. But it is true that they've decided to stop accepting so many invitations. So, what are they going to do tonight? Well,
I don't know, but we do know what Jeff wants to do, and that's the answer to today's mission. What does Jeff want to do tonight? What does Jeff want to do tonight? Jeff wants to teach Mia how to make Thai chicken. Right. Thai chicken. Now, here we see the word Thai. T H A I. This is an adjective that you use when you talk about things that come from Thailand. Tiger, right? Thailand is a country in Asia. Now, be careful. We see T h ai, but this isn't pronounced thigh. This is Thai. It's a hard
t. Thai. And you know, Thai chicken is very good. Mia says our calendar phrase. That's very kind of you. That's very kind of you. Now, let's learn our key word here. Kind. Kind. When someone is kind, that means they're nice, they're helpful, and caring. When you're kind, you're very friendly and you're good to other people. We can say Victoria is very kind. She's always there to help her friends. Do you think you're kind? Well, I hope that you're kind to your friends. Now, if someone did something that was very kind for you, tell them our
calendar phrase. That was very kind of you. Now, let's learn more from Thomas. Keywords. We'd like to give you an invitation to review our keywords. Do you accept it? Yes. Excellent. Good. Our first keyword for today is plan. Plan. Becky has a good plan for learning English this year. Invitation. invitation. I got an invitation to Paul and Marty's party, but I can't go. Accept. Except Debbie just accepted a new job. She'll be working in Thailand. Turn down. Turn down. Rachel had to turn down Amy's dinner invitation. She was busy. Kind. K kind. Christine is very
kind. She does nice things for everyone. Okay, let's review one more time. Plan. Plan. Invitation. Invitation. Accept. Accept. Turn down. Turn down. kind. Kind. Well done, everyone. Now, let's review these key words in today's conversations. [Music] You and Aaron should come to our place Sometime. Can you join us for dinner on Sunday? Thanks, but we already have plans.

Hun, thanks for trying so hard. But maybe you're trying a little too hard. What do you mean? You're great at accepting invitations. But you need to learn how to turn down invitations, too.

And I'll bake you a cake. Wow, that's very kind of you. That's very kind of you. That's very kind of you. Now, don't turn
down the chance to practice our question of the day. Here it is. Is it hard for you to turn down invitations? Why or why not? Yes, it's hard for me to Turn down invitations. I don't like to say no to people, but I'm learning that it's okay to say no to people and that it's not good to accept all invitations that are given to me. And well, I learned that I need some time for myself. Well, that's good, Campbell. Very good answer. Now, students, practice this question with someone. We'll see you tomorrow on Let's Talk

You're a good manager. He was just a difficult customer. Maybe I am a bad manager. The customer is always right, Neil. Oh, don't worry about it. Even
outstanding service wouldn't make that guy happy. So, you don't think I gave him outstanding service? He didn't let you give him outstanding service. He would have found something wrong no matter what you did. Maybe I was talking to you too much. I should have tried to talk to him. You handled him well. You apologized and tried to fix the problem, but he wouldn't let you. Now he'll tell everyone the service here is bad. I doubt it. I think I'll take my award down. I don't deserve it. Yes, you do. You're a good manager and you're
good at waiting on customers. Well, I can't change what happened. I'll just do better. That's right. Keep smiling and keep giving fast and friendly service. Rita, I need you.

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Laughter] What are we doing? This isn't Madame Butterfly who dear Furen. This is on the go. You're right. And we're here in Shingshire standing under a beautiful cherry blossom tree. It really does make me feel like I'm Madame Butterfly. That's true. Because in the opera, GU, Madame Butterfly hears that her captain, Junwan, is coming home. And when she hears
that, she gets really excited and Fills her house with cherry blossoms. Oh, that is so romantic. Oh, but wait, wait, where's my captain? Uh, hello. I'm right here. Uh, Campell, I don't think so. I I mean like real captain. Hey. Oh. Oh, don't worry. Okay. Come on. Let's go. Let's go. On the go. [Music] Wow. Campbell, this is so relaxing walking through this garden. It is. Jang Lasher spent a lot of time planting These beautiful flowers and trees for his guests. That is true. Hey, Andrea, I want to take you to what I know is
going to be your favorite part of today. Let's go. H how do you know that? Come on. [Music] You know, Campbell, it's really cool to be here in this cafe. There are plants and trees all around us, but we're inside. It's like we're in a forest, but we're not outdoors. That's true. This place Used to be a warehouse. Tangu. The owner, Mr. Chang spent 40 days to turn this place into this beautiful garden. 40 days? Wow, that was quick. Yeah. And the most special thing about this place is that there are seven trees that he
spent 30 years growing. Wait, 30 years? Andrea, the trees are as old as you. Uh, yeah. Well, I I I don't think so. Anyway, you know, Andrea, it's a beautiful day outside today. Let's not spend all our time in here. There's a Lot of beautiful things to see outside. Yeah, I think we should go and take a look. Okay, let's go take take a look. [Music] So beautiful. Hey, Andrea, look at this rose that I Andrea, how many roses did you pick? That's too many. You picked too many flowers. Well, it's not too many, Campbell.
A girl can never have too many roses. See, I told you you would love this Place. All girls love roses. You are right, Campbell. Thank you. I just love it here. It smells so nice and there's so many beautiful roses. Hey, I have an idea. Let's take some of these roses and make some soap out of them. Some soap? Yeah. How are we going to make soap with these roses? Well, come on. I'll show you. Um my roses. Campbell. Hi everyone. Let's talk about making soap. Now, how do you make soap with roses? Well, we're
going to show you. First, what we need Is a molding. Okay. Now, the first thing you want to do is take some oil and put that inside your mold. That way, when the soap is finished, it's easy to come out of the mold again. After that, we need to pick what color we want our soap to be. We put the dye in the cup and that will be the color of our soap. And after this, we need to pick what smell we want the soap to be. We have lemon, we have rose, and jasmine. So,
how much Of this do we put in? You put in two drops for this small one. Two drops. Next, we take the rose and we take it off the stem. Now, we want to make sure that the rose stays still while we're pouring in the soap. We have some soap that we've melted here, and we're going to take that and pour it into our mold. Now, you want to be very careful because this is hot, right? Right. It's melted. I guess it's just melted soap. That's true. Now, what We're going to do is we want
the soap to become hard. But to make it a little bit faster, you can take the mold and put it in a cooler place, like in a refrigerator. Right. That way, you'll have soap in a few minutes. Mhm. Here, Andrea, here's a gift for you. And a gift for you, Campbell. What's inside? Soap. A Thanks, Andrea. Thank you. Well, we've had a long but fun day here in Shinga. That's true. Thanks for joining us today on the go. Bye. Live with Jamble. I'm glad you guys could come again. Yeah, we're going to be glad you
have a special. Yeah. Hi friends. Welcome to Live with Campbell. Today we have some really special guests with us. Our good friend Billy, his wife Yen Lingling, and their new baby daughter Annabelle. Hi guys. Hi everyone. Hi. Oh, this little one is so beautiful and so precious. Billy, tell us what is It like to be a father? Woo! Campbell, it's a hard job to be a father. It's a big responsibility, but I'm really enjoying it. It's a lot of work, but it's a good thing. How has your life changed since you've become a father? Well,
of course, we sleep a lot less, right? And of course, we have Annabelle in our life every day, everywhere we go, but we're so happy because she's so beautiful. And we really believe that because of Annabelle, we've learned a Lot about life. What are some things that you've learned? Well, I'd say the biggest thing we've learned about is love. True love, real love. Because, you know, even when Annabelle cries or she has a dirty diaper, we still love her. We look at her and she's crying and I say, "Oh, but you're still so cute." Or
I'm changing her dirty diaper and I say, "You're the most beautiful girl in the world." So, it's amazing how love covers all things. H. Now, what are some hard Things about being a father? We don't get any sleep. No. Well, it can be hard to be a father because when Annabelle cries or she doesn't get what she wants, you have to be patient with her because she's just a little baby and she doesn't understand. Yeah. And what are some blessings, some great things about being a father? Well, the blessing is just Annabelle being able to
hold her and love her and talk to her. And I think one of our favorite things is when we Watch her smile. She goes, she does have a very beautiful smile. She does. Now, Yandling, um, is there anything that you would tell mothers? Are is there any advice that you could give to mothers about having a baby, about raising a child? Just be happy, be passionate, and also, you know, you can go out to talk to other mommy. M change share experience. Yeah, that's some great advice. If you're a parent, talk to other parents. See
if they can help you and give you some advice. Share your experience with each other. Now, Billy, in when your parents were raising you, were there was there anything that they did that you really want to do with Annabelle? There's a lot of things they did that I really want to do with Annabelle. I think the most important thing is that everything they said to us, they would also show it to us in their actions. Uh, one thing is every Night my father would come into my room and to my sister's room and he would
lay down our beds and he would scratch our backs and he would just talk to us as we fell asleep and we really knew he loved us. That's great. So, as parents, it's important to let your children know that you love them. That's right. And we hope we can let Annabelle know that every day through our words and our actions. That's great. All right, everyone. Thanks for joining us today here on a Special episode of Live with Gamble. We'll see you next time. Love, love, peace. [Music] Belly. A, this is so good. [Music] Oh, Annabelle

Andrea is not available right now. Can I take a message? Okay. All right. Bye. Hi, Campbell. Hi, students. Welcome to the show. So, who Was on the phone? I don't know. Some guy. He wanted to talk to you. Really? A guy? Well, who was he? What was his name? Did he leave a message? Well, no. I asked him if he wanted to leave a message, but he
said he'd just call back later. Really? H Well, I wonder who he is. Did you recognize his voice? No, I don't think I've heard his voice before. Andrea, why are you so interested in this caller? Well, I'm just wondering who this guy is. Oh, I see what's going On here. Actually, Andrea, the guy did sound pretty cute. You know, he probably called to ask you out on a date, Cample. Anyway, let's go on with our lesson. Today, we're going to keep learning how to be polite on the phone. And here is today's mission for you.
What does Mia think Jeff is too old to do? What does Mia think Jeff is too old to do? Oh. Andrea, I'll let you get that. It might be your special friend. All right, friends. Let's start with Conversation A. Okay. May I use your phone a minute? Sure. Thank you for calling the Net Cafe. This is Aaron. How may I help you? Aaron, I'd like to speak to the manager. I'm sorry. Becca is not available right now. May I take a message? No thanks. I'll call back later. Goodbye. Becca, why didn't you call Aaron? And
why did you use a different voice? I wanted to see how Aaron answers the Phone. Sometimes he's not very professional. Well, Aaron sounds very professional. He's doing a great job on the phone. I just can't believe that Becca called him and used a different voice. She asked to speak to the manager. And yes, Aaron was very professional as he said, "I'm sorry, Becca's not available right now. May I take a message? She said she'd call back later. Now, let's learn our key word here. Message. Message. When you call someone and they're not available to answer
the phone, you can leave a message. Right? A message. These are words that you tell someone to tell someone else. For example, if I call my friend and she's not home, I can leave a message. I can say, "Hi, this is Campbell. Can you call me back later? Thank you." Right? So, you can leave a message for another person by telling someone else. Or you can also leave a Message on a machine. Okay. A message. Well, Becca didn't leave a message. She said that she would call back later. Now, what does it mean to call
back later? Well, when you call back, that means you already tried to call that person once and you're going to call them again. If you call someone and they're not there, you might want to call them again later. When you call them again, you call them back. That's true. Now, let's learn more about this Conversation from our friend Thomas. Hi, Thomas. Wow. Did he do a good job just now? Yes, he was very professional and polite. I want to call him. Jeff, what are you going to do? Don't worry, Mia. Aaron won't even know it's
me. Honey, aren't you a little old to make prank calls? These aren't prank calls. They're Tess. Hello. Hello, Net Cafe. What specials will you have next week? Hello. Hi, Aaron. Um, may I speak with the manager, please? Oh, she's not there. Oh, no thanks. I won't leave a message. I'll call back later. Thank you. Campbell, are you making a prank call? No, I wasn't making a prank call. A prank call is when you call someone as a joke because you think it's funny. I was calling Aaron to test him just like our friends. Campbell. Well,
can I try? Sure. But first, let's Teach our lesson. Okay. Okay. Well, in conversation B, Becca says Aaron did a good job answering the phone. He was very professional and polite. And polite is our key word. Polite. Polite. If someone is polite, this means they have good manners. They are careful of what they say and what they do. They don't do anything to make anyone sad or angry. When someone is polite, they act the way they should act. We can say Jonah is very polite. He always raises his hand in class when he wants to
talk. Well, our next key word here is special. Special. Special. Now, when restaurants have specials, this is food that they don't sell all the time. This is food they serve only at special times. You can have a special of the month. This is food that they only serve for one month or a special of the week. Food they only have for that Week. All right, we found the answer to today's mission in this conversation. The question is, what does Nia think Jeff is too old to do? What does Nia think Jeff is too old to
do? Well, she thinks he's a little old to make prank calls. All right, friends. Great job. Let's go and see our friend Thomas and learn some more. Put him on speaker phone. Okay, I'll check for you, sir. May I put you On hold? Sure. Wow, Becca, he's very polite. Yes, he is. I guess he really listened to me. Yeah, actually it's really cute. I know. I want to call him next. Sure. Hello. What? Now Mia wants to call Aaron. I guess everyone wants to make a prank call. But they're not making prank calls. They're just
testing Aaron. Just kidding. Well, at the beginning of our conversation, Becca quietly tells Jeff To put Aaron on speakerphone, right? Because if he's on speaker phone, everyone can listen to him. Well, Aaron asks, "May I put you on hold?" Let's learn our key word here. Onhold. Onhold. When you're using the phone and you're waiting to speak to someone, you are on hold. You know, sometimes you might be talking to someone and they'll get another call on their phone. They might put you on hold to talk to the other Person. Now, when you're on hold, you
might hear some music or the radio playing as you wait for the person you want to talk to. We have another key word here and it's a really cute one. The word is cute. Cute. When someone is cute, they are really kind and sweet. When someone is cute, this means that they're kind and sweet. In our conversation, the way Aaron is Acting is really cute. Aaron is a cute guy.

So, you, Jeff, and Mia all called Aaron, but he didn't know it was you. Right. Aaron told me the cafe phone rang a lot last night. Now I know why. I can't believe you three made prank calls. They weren't prank calls. I wanted to test Aaron to see how he answers the phone. I want to call him. Oh no. I think everyone is having a little bit too much fun
testing Aaron. I wonder what would happen if Aaron found out all these people were calling him to test him. I don't know. Well, Liz says Aaron told her that the Net Cafe phone Rang a lot last night. Now she knows why. All right. Well, let's learn this key word. Ring. Ring. When someone calls you, your phone will make a sound. When your phone makes this sound, we say that it rings. Now, when the phone is ringing, what do you do? Well, you answer the phone. You might say, "Hey, the phone is ringing. Who's going to
answer it?" Now, a phone can ring, but there's also other things that Can ring. An alarm clock might ring in the morning. The ring will wake you up. That's right. Okay, let's look at our next keyword. Test. Test. When you test someone, you do something to find out how good they are at doing something. Now, as a student, you are tested a lot. Your teacher tests you to find out how well you're doing at school. Well, Becca has been testing Aaron to see how well he answers the Phone. She calls him and sees how he
answers the phone. Now, Amber wants to test him, too, right? We'll see how that goes. All right, friends. Let's go learn some more from Thomas. Hello. Is Becca there?

ID. He wants to know why you just hung up on him. [Music] [Applause] Oh no. Aaron hung up on Ron, his boss. He thought it was Jeff or Nick making a prank call, but it was really his boss. Well, Aaron doesn't believe Becca when she tells him it was their boss. Becca tells him to look at the caller ID.

When you hang up the phone, that means your telephone call is Finished. Aaron hung up on Ron because he thought it was Jeff or Nick. He ended the call, but he shouldn't have done that because it really was his
boss. Right now, usually before you hang up the phone, you say goodbye, you finish the conversation. But Aaron just put the phone down. Uhoh. All right.

So, Andrea, are you ready for your trip this weekend? Yes, I am, Campbell. I have my directions right here. Thank you so much for helping me with that.
Now, I know that I have to get off at the bus stop by the university. You know, it's actually very convenient to take the bus. I agree with you. And for this trip, you don't even have to transfer to another bus. What? Transfer? Campbell, I didn't even think about transferring to another bus. Andrea, calm down. Write this down. Andrea, I said you don't have to transfer. Don't worry. Oh, I don't have to transfer. Good. Okay. I guess I am a little nervous about this trip. Do you know how much the fair is? Well, I'm not
sure, but I do know that it's not very expensive. You can just pay the bus driver when you get on the bus. Okay, thanks. Sounds good. Now, I just have to Make sure I catch my bus. Yes. Okay, now let's see what's happening with Claire as she learns how to ride the bus. Here is today's mission. How long did it take Claire to get to school on the bus? How long did it take Claire to get to school on the bus? Listen for that answer. It might be in conversation A. Buses 27, 36, 52, and
99 stop near the University of South Florida. Do any of those stop near Beach Street? Let's see. No, they don't. Then you'll have to Transfer. Buses 11 and 87 stop on Beach Street. Then you'll have to take one of those first. Hey, bus 11 and bus 52 both stop on Market Street. Bus 27, 36, 52, 11, 87. Ay, with all these numbers, I feel like I'm in math class. That's true. Well, our friends are on the computer and they're trying to help Claire find the best bus route to take to school. Right. First, our friends
look at all the buses that go to Where Claire wants to go. She wants to go to her school, the University of South Florida. So, what buses go there? Well, buses 27, 36, 52, and 99 stop near the University of South Florida. Great. Next, they see if any of these buses stop near Beach Street where Claire lives. Well, none of the buses stop there, so she'll have to transfer. Let's learn that keyword. Transfer. transfer. When you're going someplace, sometimes you'll need to ride more than one bus to get there. When you get off one bus
and get on another one, we say that you transferred buses. Now you transfer when you take a bus, when you go from one bus to another bus. But you can also transfer airplanes or transfer trains. Right now Claire will have to transfer buses. But which bus will she take first? Well, two buses stop near her house. Bus 11 and 87. So she'll have to Take one of them. All right, let's learn this key word here. Take. Take. Now, when you use something like the bus to get somewhere, we say that you take the bus, right?
You take the bus. You also take the plane or take a train. You can also take a route. A route is a way to get somewhere. Okay, friends, that's all for us. Let's learn more from Thomas. Okay. So, I'll take bus 11 to Market Street. Then I'll transfer to bus 52. It will take me to school. Right. That sounds easy. How much is the fair? $1.30. Or you can buy a pass. I have one that lets me ride 20 times. How much was it? $26. I could buy that, but I hope I don't have to
ride a bus 20 times. Hey, that does sound easy. Claire is going to take bus 11 to Market Street. Then she'll transfer to bus 52. Bus 52 will take her to school. Doesn't that sound easy? Yes, that sounds easy. You just said our calendar phrase. That sounds easy. That sounds easy. Well, let's learn some key words. That sounds easy, doesn't it? Our first key word is fair. Fair. Fair is the money you pay to travel by train, bus, or by taxi. When you ride a bus, you will have to pay a fair. When you get
on the bus or get off the bus, You'll need to pay some money. This money is called the fair. In our conversation, Claire asks, "How much is the fair?" She wants to know how much money she has to pay to take the bus. Well, the fair is a 130 or she can buy a pass, right? She can pay 130 or she can buy a pass. Let's learn that keyword pass. Pass. A pass is like a ticket that shows you can get on and get off a bus. When you Have a bus pass, you don't have
to pay money every time you get on the bus. Right? When you buy a bus pass, this lets you ride on the bus a few times before you need to buy a new pass. Yeah. So, you have a choice. You can pay the bus fair every day or you can buy a bus pass that will probably last a little longer. Now, let's go see our friend Thomas. Hi, Claire. How was riding the bus? It was easy. Catching the bus and Transferring was no problem. How long did it take to get to school? It only took
30 minutes. When I drive, it sometimes takes longer than that. So, will you ride the bus all the time now? Yes, I will for the next 2 weeks. Well, even though the bus is convenient, I guess Claire still likes driving her car more, right? Well, she said riding the bus was easy. She had no problem catching the bus and transferring. Okay, let's learn this key word. Catch. Catch. Now, when you catch a bus, this means you get on a bus so you can go somewhere. Yeah. If you want to catch a bus, you can go
to the bus stop. When the bus comes, catch it. Now, you can catch a bus, but you can also catch a plane or catch a train. Usually, when you catch something, it's something that only leaves at certain times. Yeah. For example, if your plane leaves at 5:00, you have to catch your plane before 5:00. Well, Claire had no problem catching the bus. She was able to get on the bus without any problems. Now, how long did it take her to get to school? Well, that's the answer to today's mission. How long did it take Claire
to get to school on the bus? How long did it take Claire to get to school on the bus? It only took 30 minutes. Well, that's great. I'm glad Claire had an easy time riding the bus. And we hope that you know a little bit more about Riding the bus now. All right, friends. Let's learn some more from Thomas. Key words. All right, friends. Let's review today's key words.

Jeff, what are you going to do? Don't worry, Mia. Aaron won't even know it's me. Honey, aren't you a little old to make prank calls? These aren't prank calls. They're test. Hello. Hello.

[Music] So, you, Jeff, and Mia all called Aaron, but he didn't know it was you, right? Aaron told me the cafe phone rang a lot last night. Now I know why. I can't believe you three made prank calls. They weren't prank

Can you tell her Ella Patis called? Sure. Can you spell your last name for me? Hey, Amber, is that you? Uh, no. Oops. [Music] I can't believe you had all those people call me. Well, you did a good job. Great. [Music] Thank you for calling the Net Cafe. What? Braun? Huh? Is this Jeff? Nick, goodbye. You've got another prank call.
Bunny, I can't believe Becca told people to call me. Aaron, Ron just called my cell phone. No, he didn't. Yes, he did. Look at the caller ID. He wants to know why you just hung up on him. [Music] Hi, Claire. It's a beautiful day, isn't it? It's not beautiful. It's terrible. What's wrong? Someone ran into my car. I can't drive it for 2 weeks. That is terrible. I know. How am I going to get to school? You could ride your bike. I can't do that. If I ride my bike, my hair will look terrible. You
could ride the bus. The bus? Sure, why not? It's very convenient. Do you ride the bus? Sometimes. There's a bus stop near my house. Maybe there's a bus stop near my house. Well, it needs to be the right bus stop. Which bus do you need to ride to school? I don't know, Amber. You ride the bus sometimes. Which buses stop near the University of South Florida? I don't know all the bus routes, but I think bus 27 goes there. Does it stop near my house? I don't know. You live on Beach Street, Right? Right. Why
don't you look at the bus routes on the computer? Good idea. Buses 27, 36, 52, and 99 stop near the University of South Florida. Do any of those stop near Beach Street? Let's see. No, they don't. Then you'll have to transfer. Buses 11 and 87 stop on Beach Street. Then you'll have to take one of those first. Hey, bus 11 and bus 52 both stop on Market Street. Okay. So, I'll take bus 11 to Market Street, then I'll transfer To bus 52. It will take me to school, right? That sounds easy. How much is the
fair? $1.30. Or you can buy a pass. I have one that lets me ride 20 times. How much was it? $26. I could buy that, but I hope I don't have to ride the bus 20 times. [Music] Hi, Claire. How was riding the bus? It was easy. Catching the bus and transferring was no problem. How long Did it take to get to school? It only took 30 minutes. When I drive, it sometimes takes longer than that. So, will you ride the bus all the time now? Yes, I will for the next 2 weeks. [Music] On
the go. 2 1 go. Wa! This is awesome. We're flying. Woo! Woo! [Music] Woo! That was awesome. Hey, Campbell. Wasn't that fun? That was amazing. I love paragliding. Well, Campbell, where are we? Well, today we're in Elan's and we're going to see some dolphins and whales. And we're going to visit Taiwan's only island that has a volcano. It's called Turtle Island, Guantanal. Wow. We're going to Turtle Island. Yeah. And there we're going to see some cool Little crabs that live near the island. Are we going to fly there? No, we're actually going to take a
boat. We're going to go check out the dolphins and the whales first. Okay, come on. Let's go on the go. [Music] [Music] What are you doing? Well, I'm trying to call the dolphins over here. Oh, wow. Look at how high that one jumped. The dolphins are having so much fun playing in the water. Yeah. I wish I was a dolphin. Look, there it is. Elon's Turtle Island. Wow. Well, why is it called Turtle Island? Well, look at it. It looks like a really big sea turtle. Yeah, it does look like a turtle. [Music] Hey, Campbell.
The color of the ocean is changing. You know, it looks like boiling water. Yeah. Well, that's Because Turtle Island is a volcano or sun that's still alive. Volcano that's under the water is what's making the water bubble like that. Well, are those crabs that live in hot water found here? Yeah, those crabs live near the deep water hot springs. Oh, so they're just regular crabs that live in a strange place. That's right. Well, I guess they don't get cold in the winter. Hey, look. We're here. Okay, let's go. Hey, Andrea, look at those rocks behind
Us. What do they look like to you? You know, Campbell, they kind of look like a turtle's tail. That's right. Those rocks are the tail of Turtle Island. And did you know that that tail can move? What? The tail can move? Yeah. Depending on the season and the wind, the tail will be in a different place. Oh, that's really cool. Hey. Wow. Look at this lake right here on the island. Campbell, let's go swimming. I didn't even No, no, no, no, No, no. We're not allowed to swim in this lake, but we can look at

We're not allowed to drink this water either. Oh, well, if we can't drink the water and can't go swimming, then let's go hiking. [Music] Come on, Campbell. You might see a dolphin. Dolphin. Okay, let's go. Wait a minute, Andrea. There are no dolphins up in the mountains. Oh yeah, right Campbell. But look, look at this big tree. Oh
yeah. This is Taiwan ebony. M. Well, why is it called ebony? Well, ebony means black. And well, this tree looks black. Yeah, that's true. Look, this tree is so big. I can't even give it a Hug. Well, Andrea, it would take three to four people just to hug this tree. Really? Well, then let's just keep hiking. Okay. [Music] Wow. Hey, Andrea, look. We can see the tail of the island from here. Oh, yeah. There's such a beautiful view from this high place. Isn't that Elon over there? Yeah, that's where we came from. Well, you know,

So, tell us a little bit about Holland. Um, Holland's a really fun place to live. They call it the land of the party. Um, It's really beautiful and the people are really nice and it was I mean it rains a lot and sometimes it snows and it can get pretty cold and pretty hot in the summer but I know it's it's a
really nice place to live. See, and when did you move here to Ta Bay? Um, 3 years ago. Were you sad to leave Holland? Yeah, I um I cried for 3 days and I was a little mad at my parents because I was in a school that I really liked and I had a lot of really good friends and you Know I thought if I left my whole life would just fall apart and I was really set in my ways and I just thought I was going to live in Holland all my life and never
graduate from high school and Yeah. I see. So did your life fall apart when you moved to Taipei? Um, at first I really thought it was going to because I got here and we lived in an apartment five stories up and I had to get braces and it was just like I want to go back to Holland, but now I really enjoy Taiwan. How did you go from being really sad to enjoying Taiwan? Well, um I started getting involved in a youth group here in in Timu and I met a lot of girls my age

Welcome to Let's Talk in English on PTS and the radio. I'm Campbell and over the next few days, we're going to learn how to talk about wishes and regrets. Shiang, did somebody say wishes? Whoa. Andrea, where did you come from? And why are you wearing those weird clothes? Hi Campbell. Hi students. I'm Genie Andrea. A genie. Jingling. Campbell. Don't laugh. I'm a genie and I've

Wow. Cool. Wait a second, Andrea. This money isn't real. Well, you didn't say you wanted a million real dollars, did you? Uh yo, and Freya. Fine. All right. Here's Today's mission. Where does Liz say she should have gone yesterday? Where does Liz say she should have gone yesterday? You want to know, right? Well, here's your wish. Here
you go. Hi, Rita. What can I get for you? I've been dreaming about a hot chocolate all day. Well, I'm glad I can make your dream come true. Me, too. So, how have you been? Good. It's been nice spending more time with Amber. Yeah, it's good. You and Amber are becoming better friends. Here's your hot chocolate. Thanks. Well, Rita has been dreaming about hot chocolate all day, and Becca's going to make her dream come true. Now, Campbell, is there something you've been dreaming about all day? Yes, I've been dreaming about um I've been dreaming about
I've been dreaming about learning our keywords. Well, let's do that. Our first keyword Is the verb dream. Dream. When you dream, you hope for something nice in the future. When you dream, you're hoping for something. For example, I dream of being an actor on Broadway one day. So, when you dream, you dream about something that you want to happen. We can say, "I'm dreaming about going home for Christmas." Rita says she's been dreaming about a hot chocolate all day. She's been wanting to Have a hot chocolate all day. And Becca says she's going to make
her dream come true. Let's learn this key word. Make someone's dream come true. Make someone's dream come true. When you make someone's dream come true, you give them what they've been dreaming about. You give them what they want. Right? When your dream comes true, this means that what you want to happen actually happens. So when you make someone's dream come true, this means you give Them what they want. So, we've learned the verb dream, but we also see the noun dream in the second keyword. Now, let's learn some more about this from our friend, teacher
Thomas. Hi, Thomas. Amber and I have had our challenges, but things are looking up now. My mom and I weren't always close. I'm sad we didn't become friends sooner. But you're close now. Oh, yes. Maybe one day Amber will think of me as a good friend. Maybe she already does. I think you're right, Becca. Amber and Rita have a very special relationship, and that's great. Yes, I think it's very special when a daughter can be friends with her mom. I agree. So, are you friends with your mom? Yes, Campbell. I'm very good friends with my
mom. She's one of my best friends. That's great. Okay, we have a few key words to learn. So, let's get started. Our first key word is challenge. Challenge. A challenge is something that is hard. A challenge in life is something that happens to you that isn't easy to handle. A challenge is something that you have to work hard to do. Now, if you have a fight with someone, this can be a challenge. If you lose your job, this can also be a challenge. Learning a new language is a challenge. Doing well in school is a
challenge. When you have challenges in your life, it often takes a lot of work and energy to get through Them. Rita says she and Amber have had their challenges, but things are looking up now. Things are looking up. Let's learn that key word. Look up. Look up. If you're going through a hard time, but things start to become better, we say things are looking up. When things look up, they are improving. They're getting better. We can say Rick lost his job, but things are looking up. Last week, he Met with three bosses of different companies
that might want to hire him. Or Leebeck was really sick last week, but she's getting better now. Things are looking up. No, right. Hey, things are looking up for us. You know why? Because it's time for us to go and see Thomas. Amber, thanks for watching the store after school today. No problem. I should have gone to the post office yesterday, but I didn't. So, thanks again for your help. Sure. Never wait till the last minute. So, where are you going? I want to catch my mom before she leaves work. I hope we can go
get some coffee together. Sounds good. Have fun. Oh, that does sound like fun. Amber wants to catch her mom before she leaves work. She hopes they can get some coffee together. You know, that's really special. It is. Well, it seems like Amber was in a hurry and now we know why. In our conversation, Liz comes back To the stop and shop and thanks Amber for watching the store today. Amber says, "No problem." Then Liz says the answer to today's mission. Where does Liz say she should have gone yesterday? Where does Liz say she should have
gone yesterday? Liz says she should have gone to the post office yesterday. Yeah, but she thanks Amber for helping her out. Then she says our calendar phrase, never wait till the last minute. Never wait till the last minute. Now, when you do Something at the last minute, you wait until the latest time to do something, right? For example, if you have homework due tomorrow and you wait until tonight to do it, well, then you waited until the last minute. But our calendar phrase is never wait till the last minute. That means don't wait until the
last minute. Do what you have to do right away. Yeah. You know, I've learned that if you do a little bit of work every night, then you will get it done and you won't be Waiting until the last minute. Well, we hope that Amber does catch her mom before she leaves work. When you catch someone, that means you want to talk to them quickly before they go on to do something else. We can say, "I want to catch Doris before she leaves the office." So, will Amber catch her mom? Well, we'll find out tomorrow. For
now, let's learn more from Thomas. Keywords. It's time to practice today's keywords. Our first keyword is dream. Dream. Sam dreams of being a father. But first, he must get married. Make someone's dream come true. Make someone's dream come true. Bob made Martha's dream come true when he gave her the job. Challenge. Challenge. Learning English is a challenge, but I know you can do it. Look up. Look up. Things are looking up. I did better on my English test this time. Okay, let's review one more time. Dream. Dream. Make someone's dream come true. Make someone's dream
come true. Challenge. Challenge. Look up. Look up. Now, students, here's a challenge for you. Listen for these key Words as we review our conversations. Hi, Rita. What can I get for you? I've been dreaming about a hot chocolate all day. Well, I'm glad I can make your dream come true. Me, too. So, how have you been? Good. It's been nice spending more time with Amber. Yeah, it's good. You and Amber are becoming better friends. Here's your hot chocolate. Thanks. [Music] Amber and I have had our challenges, but Things are looking up now. My mom and
I weren't always close. I'm sad we didn't become friends sooner. But you're close now. Oh, yes. [Applause] Maybe one day Amber will think of me as a good friend. Maybe she already does. Amber, thanks for watching the store after school today. No problem. I should have gone to the post office yesterday, but I didn't. So, thanks again for your help. Sure. Never wait till the last minute. So, where are you going? I want to catch my mom before she leaves work. I hope we can go get some coffee together. Sounds good. Have fun. Word power.
It's time for word power. This week we're in a cafe. Let's learn the different drinks they have in a cafe. Then we can try all of them. [Music] Here is our first drink. It's a dark Small coffee.
