Hello everyone,
Welcome to Let’s Talk in English. I’m Esther.
And my name is Garrett.
Today, we’ll give you some English you need, and the name of our lesson is “Hello, I’m…”.
“Hello, I’m…” and then we can finish the sentence.
This is a great sentence that you can use when you’re meeting someone for the first time, right?
The “I’m” stands for “I am”, and after “I am”, you can tell someone your name,
or you can tell them a little bit about yourself—such as what job you do.
You might say, “Hello, I’m Garrett” or “Hello, I’m a teacher.”
Right now, let’s go to our reading to learn more.
Do you often meet new people?
What can you say?
You can say, “Hello, I’m…” and say your name.
Then tell your new friend about your job.
Are you a babysitter, teacher, salesperson, or nurse?
You can say, “I’m a server at a restaurant.”
But maybe you are a student.
What school do you go to? Tell your new friend.
You can say, “I’m a student at Cedar High School.”
Where are you from?
You can say, “I’m from…” then say the name of your city or country.
Thank you, Garrett.
Yes, when we talk to people, using a sentence that starts with “I’m” is very helpful.
That’s right. These are great ways to introduce yourself—and of course, to learn more about someone else.
Now friends, as we go through today’s lesson, we’ll try to find our Find-It Answer.
Here’s the question: What does Katie’s mother do?
What does Katie’s mother do?
Here, we’re asking about her job or her occupation.
So, we’ll meet someone called Katie, and we’ll need to find out what her mother does.
Yeah, it might not be very clear from that question, but when we ask,
“What do you do?” we’re often asking about someone’s full-time job—
what they do to make money during the week.
Old friends, now let’s go learn our keywords with Sonya.
Sarah 找了一個新的保姆，
她叫兒子 Mike 出來見一見他：
“Come and meet your new babysitter.”
名詞 babysitter 就是保姆。
保姆 Katie 說她的媽媽是一位護理師：
“My mom is a nurse.” 名詞 nurse 就是護理師。
而她的爸爸是一名銷售員：
“And my dad is a salesperson.” 名詞 salesperson 就是銷售員。
Sarah 問 Katie 在哪裡讀書。
Katie 說在香博高中：
“At Center High School.” 名詞 high school 就是高中。
她除了是位學生，也是餐廳的服務員：
“I’m also a server at a restaurant.”
名詞 restaurant 就是餐廳。
Hello, I’m Katie. Come on in.
Mike, come and meet your new babysitter.
Come in. So your son’s name is Mike?
Yes, he’s eight.
So, where do you live in the city?
I live on the west side.
That’s a nice area.
What do your parents do?
My mom is a nurse and my dad is a salesperson.
All right.
Well, we are meeting someone named Katie today.
And Katie is talking with Sarah, right?
And we start with Katie saying: “Hello, I’m Katie.”
Yes, you introduce yourself by saying “Hello,” and then you can say your name.
So I can say, “Hello, I’m Esther,” or “Hello, I’m Garrett.”
That way, the other person knows what to call you,
and it’s a polite way to introduce yourself.
And Sarah says, “Come on in.”
When you invite someone into your home or your apartment, you can use this phrase: “Come on in.”
It’s a nice, polite way to welcome someone in.
Of course, you could just say “Come in,” but it sounds a little bit too direct, right?
“Come on” makes it sound a little nicer.
Sonia, can you help us with this phrase?
兒子的保姆到了，Sarah 親切地對他說：“請進”（Come on in）。
一般情況叫人進來會說 “come in”，中間加了 “on”，聽起來比較友善親切。
來看其他幾個例句：
“Hi Jana, come on in.”
嗨 Jana，請進來啊。
或是：
“The stranger left. You can come on out now.”
那個陌生人走了，你現在可以出來了。
再看一句：
“You don’t have any plans? Come on over.”
你沒什麼計畫嗎？那就過來呀！
Thank you, Sonia.
We know that Sara has a couple of children,
and we learn that she has a son called Mike.
Her son is named Mike, and she calls him over.
She says, “Mike, come and meet your new babysitter.”
So Katie here is going to be his babysitter.
And this word “babysitter” is a very useful word.
It’s made up of two words: baby and sitter.
Now, a babysitter is someone who takes care of children when their parents are busy, right?
It’s not just for babies.
If someone is a babysitter, they will often come to your house to look after your children
while you’re going out for a night of fun, or maybe you have work to do.
A babysitter usually only helps out for a short period of time, right?
They’re not someone who stays with you full-time—that would be a nanny,
N-A-N-N-Y. Exactly.
A babysitter is not usually a job that someone does for a long time.
Babysitters are often students looking for a little bit of extra money
to pay for things throughout their life, right?
And they are usually getting paid by the hour.
So Katie the babysitter asks Sarah,
“So your son’s name is Mike?”
Yes, it is. And Sarah’s son is eight—or eight years old.
And Sarah asks, “Where do you live in the city?”
She wants to know this about Katie, right?
Because maybe in the future she might want to invite Katie to be the babysitter again.
So she might be thinking of how long it takes the babysitter to get to where Sarah is living.
Well, Katie gives an answer.
She lives on the west side—that’s the western part of the city.
And Sarah knows about that area. She says, “That’s a nice area.”
Now Sarah wants to know more about Katie and what her parents do for their jobs.
“What do your parents do?”
Well, this leads us to today’s Find-It Answer.
Remember, our question was: What does Katie’s mother do?
We learn that she is a nurse.
A nurse is a person who works at a hospital or clinic
and helps the doctor with many things.
Yeah, a nurse is not a doctor.
A doctor might have more responsibilities,
but they still help out with patients and might give medicine or other services, right?
And we learn that Katie’s mother is a nurse,
and her father is a salesperson.
Garrett, what’s a salesperson?
It’s someone who does sales—they sell things.
And that could be anything.
Salespeople sell all sorts of things, friends.
Now it’s time for us to take a break.
Don’t go away—we’ll be right back.
Let’s Talk in English is just ten minutes away.
Welcome back to the show, friends.
When you’re in high school or college,
you don’t want a full-time job that will take your time away from studying.
But you might want a simple job to make a little bit of money, right?
Many high school students may be babysitters.
I know I babysat a few times when I was in high school as well—for my teachers’ kids.
And I worked as an umpire or a referee for baseball games.
It didn’t take a lot of time, but it was some good money.
Let’s get back to our conversation.
“Where do you go to school?”
“At Cedar High School.”
“Do you like school?”
“I do. But my classes are easy, so I’m also a server at a restaurant.”
“So you’re a student, a babysitter, and a server?”
“I enjoy all those things, but they do keep me busy.”
“I’m sure.”
“Mike, are you coming?”
So Sarah is continuing to get to know Katie,
who will be babysitting her son Mike, right?
The next question Sarah asks Katie is:
“Where do you go to school?”
So we know that Katie is a student because Sarah asks her about her school.
Yeah, Katie is just in high school.
She’s not an adult or in college yet,
but she is still trustworthy enough to take care of Sarah’s son.
Katie is a student at Cedar High School.
Right, and in many countries, high school is three years or four years.
These are the years of school you go to before you turn 18—
so from the ages of 15 to 18, or 16 to 18.
All right, I was in high school from about 13 to 17,
but the ages can be different for different people.
Now Sarah wants to know about Katie, so she asks,
“Do you like school?”
If someone asks you, “Do you like school?”
they want to know if you enjoy your classes at school.
Yeah, if you have fun with it or enjoy learning.
And Katie does, but she says her classes are easy.
She doesn’t need to put in a lot of work into them,
so she’s also a server at a restaurant.
Great—so she has another part-time job.
And a restaurant is a place where people will pay money to buy food.
In a restaurant, people can usually sit down and eat their food there, right?
They’ll prepare food for them.
And many students do like to get jobs as a server—
those people who take your order and give you your food.
Well, it sounds like Katie is quite busy.
She’s a full-time student,
and she’s a part-time babysitter and a part-time server.
Right, she does a lot.
Well friends, it’s now time for us to go and learn more with Sonya.
Sara 在聽了保姆 Katy 的介紹之後說：
所以你是學生、保姆和服務生。
So you are a student, a babysitter, and a server.
複合名詞的形式很多，句中 babysitter 是由 baby 加 sitter 組成的。
來看其他複合名詞的例句：
This house has four bedrooms.
這個房子有四間臥室。
或是：
I like the color of your lipstick.
我喜歡你口紅的顏色。
最後一句：
Look at that girl’s pink handbag.
你看那個女孩拿的粉紅色手提包。
Thank you, Sonia.
Well, we know Katie has a lot going on in her life.
But thankfully, she enjoys all those things, right?
Sounds like she enjoys being a student,
she enjoys being a babysitter,
and she enjoys being a server.
Exactly.
I enjoy these things, and I enjoy today’s calendar phrase.
I enjoy all those things.
I enjoy all those things.
I enjoy all those things
那些我全部都喜歡。
Do you like basketball, baseball, and soccer?
Yes, I enjoy all those things.
Do you like movies, videos, and TV?
Yes, I enjoy all those things.
Do you like walking, hiking, and climbing?
Uh, yes. I enjoy all those things.
Is there anything you don’t like?
Yeah—homework. Don’t like it!
I enjoy all those things.
I enjoy all those things
那些我全部都喜歡。
Well, Sara and Katie continue,
Well, Sara and Katie continue,
and Sara calls out to her son Mike again,
who still hasn’t come over, right?
So she says, “Mike, are you coming?”
Because Sara wants Mike to meet Katie.
She wants to introduce Katie to Mike
before Sara leaves for what she needs to do.
That’s right. That way Sara can introduce Mike to Katie,
and they can start to have a friendly relationship
since they’ll be spending some time together, right?
I wonder what Sara and her husband are doing—
maybe they’re going out for a nice dinner date.
That would be good.
Well Esther, you said you were a babysitter before, right?
Right—when I was in high school.
Did you enjoy doing that?
I did. I was surprised that someone would pay me money
to take care of their kids.
What I did was:
I got there, the parents had dinner prepared,
so I gave the kids dinner.
And then after dinner, it was the children’s bedtime,
so I actually had time to read a book.
Oh—so the kids went to sleep,
and you could sit around and enjoy yourself, right?
And I was so surprised because
my teacher’s kids went to bed at 7:30 p.m.
Ah, I remember having an early bedtime like that when I was a kid.
Thankfully, we can stay up later now,
’cause we’re adults.
Right, friends?
We hope you remember the names of these jobs:
salesperson, nurse, babysitter.
Exactly.
Now let’s look back at what we learned in our lesson today
and review our keywords.
Here is our first keyword:
Babysitter
Babysitter — Bess is Ruby’s babysitter.
Salesperson
Salesperson — The salesperson is selling shoes.
Nurse
Nurse — Hospitals have a lot of nurses.
Restaurant
Restaurant — Do you work at a restaurant?
High school
High school — This is a big high school.
Friends, those are today’s keywords. Keep practicing!
And now it’s your turn!
The words for today are:
babysitter, salesperson, nurse, restaurant, and high school.
Now it’s your turn to use them in a sentence.
First one:
Many students go to this.
You study here.
You got it!
Many students go to this high school.
Next:
Do you have a ___ for your son?
This person takes care of your children for you.
Correct!
Do you have a babysitter for your son?
Next:
Let’s eat at this ___.
Good job!
Let’s eat at this restaurant.
Next:
The ___ is very kind.
This person works at a hospital.
You got it!
The nurse is very kind.
Last one:
May I talk to a ___?
You’re right!
May I talk to a salesperson?
Great job, friends!
I’ll see you next time for Your Turn!
Hello, I’m Katie. Come on in!
Mike, come and meet your new babysitter.
So your son’s name is Mike?
Yes, he’s eight.
So where do you live in the city?
I live on the west side.
That’s a nice area.
What do your parents do?
My mom is a nurse, and my dad is a salesperson.
Where do you go to school?
At Cedar High School.
Do you like school?
I do, but my classes are easy,
so I’m also a server at a restaurant.
So you’re a student, a babysitter, and a server?
I enjoy all those things, but they do keep me busy.
I’m sure. Mike, are you coming?
One, two—let’s review!
And today we’re talking about meeting people.
Yes. What do you say when you meet someone new?
That’s easy.
I say, “Hello, my name is Hazel. It’s nice to meet you.”
Do you tell them where you’re from and what kind of work you do?
Sure. I answer the other person’s questions,
and then I ask them questions.
That’s a good way to get to know someone.
It is. But remember, when you meet someone new,
don’t be too nosy.
Too nosy? What do you mean?
Don’t ask too many questions,
and don’t ask personal questions.
That’s right. That’s not polite.
Exactly—and it’s important to be polite.
So, how old are you?
Excuse me!
I’m Detective Carter. I have a problem.
I have some items, and I need to find one that is different.
Can you help me find the odd one out?
I have four items.
Three are the same, but one is not.
It does not belong with the other three.
Which one is it?
Here’s our first set:
Babysitter, salesperson, nurse, and chess.
Which word doesn’t belong?
That’s right—chess is the odd one.
Babysitter, salesperson, and nurse are all people who work to help others.
But chess—it’s just a game.
You can’t make money playing chess unless you’re really good!
Let’s solve another:
Chess, king, soldier, and customer.
Three of these are about a game,
but one does not belong. Can you guess?
Yes—customer is the odd one.
Chess, king, and soldier are about chess.
But a customer doesn’t belong in chess,
unless they’re watching the game!
Good work! You helped me find the odd one out.
See you next time, friends!
Well friends, today we talked about one kind of school
you might go to during your time as a student—high school.
But what are the other schools you might go to?
Well, when you first go to school,
you might go to kindergarten or preschool when you’re very young—
maybe between the ages of three to five.
After that, you’ll go on to elementary school.
This can go all the way up to sixth grade,
or just to fifth grade, depending on where you are.
After elementary school, you go to middle school.
In some places, they call it junior high school.
And finally, you have high school,
and then college, if you choose to go there.
So many schools, right?
Friends, we hope you enjoyed our lesson,
and we hope you join us again tomorrow.
That’s right—here on Let’s Talk in English.
Goodbye!

Hello everyone, welcome to Lets Talk in English!
My name is Garrett.
And I’m Esther.
Today our topic is English You Need.
And remember, our title is Hello, I’m…
You can tell someone your name, or you can tell them what you do as your job.
Exactly! We started this lesson yesterday, talking about some of the ways we might introduce ourselves or ask for more information from someone we just met.
Right. Yesterday, Sarah wanted her son Mike to meet his new babysitter. Her name is Katie.
So she might say, “Hello, I’m Katie.”
And she’s a babysitter, so she can say, “Hello, I’m a babysitter.”
Right! This is a person who takes care of children — not just babies.
And we also learned that Katie’s father is a salesperson, while her mother is a nurse.
Right. A salesperson sells things. They might work in a store and sell things there, or they might drive around, selling things to people at their house.
And a nurse works at a hospital.
We also learned that Katie is a server in a restaurant, and she goes to high school.
Wow, so busy!
Well friends, hopefully we will be busy as we go through our lesson today, looking for our “Find It” answer.
Here’s the question:
What is Lisa’s job?
What is Lisa’s job?
Listen carefully so you can find the answer.
And now, friends, let’s go over to Sonia to learn today’s keywords.
經理說他今天交了一個新朋友，叫 Lisa。
Greg 問他是在哪裡，以及怎麼認識的。
經理回答是在咖啡店裡，他們當時站在一起排隊。
We were standing in line together.
動詞 stand 就是站立。
兩人聊得很開心，就算拿到咖啡了還欲罷不能。
We kept on chatting even after we got our coffees.
動詞 chat 就是聊天。
Lisa 在紐約長大，大學畢業之後，聽說這裡有一個工作機會。
After she finished college, she heard about a job opportunity here.
名詞 college 就是大學，而名詞 opportunity 就是機會。
所以她就來這裡，也拿到了那份工作。
今年將是她第七年擔任小學老師。
This will be Lisa’s seventh year working as an elementary school teacher.
名詞 elementary school 就是小學。
Do you look happy, Julie?
I am. I made a new friend today. Her name is Lisa.
Where and how did you meet?
We met at a coffee shop. We were standing in line together.
And the two of you just started talking?
Yes. We kept on chatting even after we got our coffees.
What did you talk about?
Our hobbies and interests. Lisa and I both like baking, reading, and shopping.
Hey Esther, do you enjoy having conversations with strangers when you’re out shopping?
You know, Garrett, usually I’m wearing earphones, so I don’t really pay attention to others when I go out shopping.
But I think this is something I can start doing. How about you, Garrett?
Yeah, I don’t often have conversations like that, but occasionally I will. It is interesting to meet people you otherwise wouldn’t meet in your daily life, right?
And today we learn that this is what happens to Julie. But let’s go into our text to see what it says.
Well, Greg notices something about Julie.
He notices that she looks especially happy today.
Right. So he uses the sentence, “You look happy, Julie.”
You know, many sentences can start with “You look…”
You can say, “You look sad,” “You look tired,” “You look hungry.”
Oh! Julie is happy today. She made a new friend, and that friend’s name is Lisa.
Okay, so we find out that Lisa is Julie’s new friend.
Now Greg wants to know more about Lisa. He asks, “Where and how did you meet?”
“Where and how…”
We can have lots of questions that are similar to the one that Greg just asked.
Let’s go to Sonia to learn about these.
這裡很高興今天交了一位新朋友。
Greg 問他：
你是在哪裡以及如何認識她的？
Where and how did you meet?
本句同時問了兩個問題 —— "where" 以及 "how"，中間用 and 連接。
來看類似的例子：
Why and when did you help that man?
你為什麼以及何時幫助了那名男子？
或是：
When and why did the boss ask to talk with you?
老闆何時以及為了什麼找你談話？
再看一句：
When and where can I find you?
我何時以及在哪裡可以找到你？
Thank you, Sonya.
Well, Julie answers the question. She met her new friend at a coffee shop, right?
A coffee shop is a place where you can buy coffee and drinks, and sometimes even snacks or a sandwich as well.
Right. When people go to a coffee shop, they’re usually pretty relaxed, so they might be willing to have a conversation with a stranger.
Julie was standing in line with her new friend.
And when you are standing, your feet are straight and you are not sitting down, right?
And if you’re standing in line, that means you’re lining up and waiting for your turn somewhere, like you would at a shop when you want to buy something.
And Greg asks, “And the two of you just started talking?”
So they didn’t plan on starting to talk — they just started talking.
It’s something that happened suddenly and wasn’t expected.
But that doesn’t mean it’s bad.
Julie says, “Yes, they kept on chatting even after they got their coffees.”
Now friends, notice the word chat.
Here, chat means you are talking with someone, often about topics that are not very important or serious.
But you can also use this word chat when you type on the computer and you are talking to someone through a message.
Yeah, that’s where we often hear this word.
If you chat with someone online, you’re typing messages to them.
And like Esther said, it’s often kind of small talk — not very serious.
So Greg asks, “What did you talk about?”
He wants to know the topics they were chatting about.
Well, they talked about their hobbies and interests.
Both Julie and Lisa like baking, reading, and shopping.
Those are great hobbies!
Your hobbies are the things you like to do for fun — usually they’re not things you do for a job or to make a living.
And your interests are the things you like to learn more about.
Yes, they are things that you find interesting — you might want to learn more about them.
Sometimes we can call our hobbies interests as well, right?
So they both like baking, reading, and shopping.
No wonder they had so much to talk about!
That’s right.
Now friends, it’s time for a quick break.
We’ll be right back with more just after this!
Let’s Talk in English! Let’s Talk in English!
Welcome back to the show, everyone!
What are your hobbies and interests?
All right, you can ask your friend that. I’m going to ask Garrett.
Garrett, what are your hobbies and interests?
Well, I like to cook food, read books, and play baseball.
Okay! So maybe you could get together with Julie and Lisa and talk about cooking, baking, and reading.
Good idea!
Let’s get back to our conversation.
“What else did you talk about?”
Our jobs.
But first, I asked her, “Did you grow up here?”
Did she?
No, she grew up in New York.
But after she finished college, she heard about a job opportunity here, so she came here for a job.
Yes, and she got the job.
She did! This will be Lisa’s seventh year working as an elementary school teacher.
Good for her!
So Julie met a new friend while she was standing in line at a coffee shop.
We already know they talked about their hobbies and interests, right?
But they didn’t just talk about their hobbies and interests — they also talked about their jobs.
And Greg wants to ask, “What else did you talk about?”
So Julie says that yes, they talked about their jobs.
But she asked a question first.
Julie asked, “Did you grow up here?”
When you ask this question, you want to know if, as a child, that person lived in the city you are living in now, right?
Have they been there for a long time?
“Did you grow up here?” is also today’s calendar phrase.
Did you grow up here?
Did you grow up here?
Did you grow up here?
你在這裡長大的嗎？
Did you grow up here?
Well, I wasn’t born here.
Did you grow up here?
My family moved here when I was little.
Did you grow up here?
No, not yet — I’m still little.
Did you grow up here?
Did you grow up here?
你在這裡長大的嗎？
Well, it sounds like Julie and Lisa talked about a lot of the same things that you talk about when you meet someone for the first time.
Well, it sounds like Julie and Lisa talked about a lot of the same things that you talk about when you meet someone for the first time.
They talked about what jobs they do.
That’s, of course, something we all always have a lot to say about, right?
And we also like to know about someone’s history or their past — where they grew up.
So Julie tells Greg that Lisa grew up in New York.
This is New York City in the state of New York — which is not here.
And after Lisa finished college, she heard about a job opportunity here.
Okay, let’s talk about this word college.
College is the education you get after you finish high school.
Most are four-year programs; some can be three years or five years as well.
The meaning of the word college will be different depending on what country you’re in.
In the United States, the words college and university mean pretty much the same thing.
University students will say, “I’m in college.”
But in other places, going to college might be a shorter program or not as difficult as university, right?
And Lisa heard about a job opportunity here.
This is a great word to learn — the word opportunity.
It means a chance to do something.
You might get an opportunity to try that new bakery in town, right?
Or you might get an opportunity to study in a different city if you get a scholarship.
So she got an opportunity to do a job here.
That’s why she moved to this city.
It’s often why people move to a new city — because they get a new job opportunity.
And they take that opportunity.
Well, did she get the job? That’s what Greg wants to know.
But what I want to know, friends, is — did you find the answer to our “Find It” question?
Our question is: What is Lisa’s job?
And the answer is: She’s an elementary school teacher.
Wow! She’s an elementary school teacher.
This means that she teaches young kids, because elementary school is usually grades 1 through 6, or grades 1 through 5.
Well, she did get the job and moved to this city.
So we now learn that this will be Lisa’s seventh year working as an elementary school teacher.
I think she enjoys her job — that’s why she continues to be an elementary teacher.
Sonya, can you help us?
這裡提到：今年將是 Lisa 擔任小學老師的第七年。
This will be Lisa’s seventh year working as an elementary school teacher.
本句以 working 所引導的現在分詞片語作補語，用來說明 Lisa 第七年在做的事情。
來看其他類似的例句：
This will be his eighth year serving in the army.
這將是他第八年在軍中服務。
再看一句：
This is my first time studying a new language.
這是我第一次學習一門新語言。
最後一句：
That will be their third time visiting Korea.
那將是他們第三次遊覽韓國。
Thank you, Sonya.
And Greg is happy for Lisa, so he says, “Good for her.”
If you’re proud of someone or happy with what they did, you might say, “Good for you!”
Now let’s go and review today’s keywords.
Here’s your first keyword for today:
stand
Don’t stand so close to me.
chat
The girls chatted all afternoon.
college
Did you finish college yet?
opportunity
I finally got an opportunity to travel.
elementary school
Did you like elementary school?
Friends, those are today’s keywords. Keep on practicing them!
And now, it’s your turn.
The words for today are standing, chat, college, opportunities, and elementary school.
Now it’s your turn to use them in a sentence.
First one:
Why don’t we ___ more after lunch?
This is another word for “talk.”
Great answer: Why don’t we chat more after lunch?
Next:
I know her from ___
Children go there to learn.
You’re right: I know her from elementary school.
Next:
Jack is over there ___
You need a verb here.
Good job: Jack is standing over there.
Next:
What are you studying in ___?
Correct: What are you studying in college?
Last one:
You will have many more ___
You’re right: You will have many more opportunities.
To do what? To join me here at “Your Turn.”
Do you look happy, Julie?
I am! I made a new friend today.
Her name is Lisa.
Where and how did you meet?
We met at a coffee shop.
We were standing in line together.
And the two of you just started talking?
Yes! We kept on chatting even after we got our coffees.
What did you talk about?
Our hobbies and interests.
Lisa and I both like baking, reading, and shopping.
What else did you talk about?
Our jobs.
But first I asked her, “Did you grow up here?”
Did she?
No. She grew up in New York.
But after she finished college, she heard about a job opportunity here.
So she came here for a job.
Yes, and she got the job.
She did! This will be Lisa’s seventh year working as an elementary school teacher.
Good for her!
One, two, let’s review!
Hazel, I have a question. Where do you meet people?
Well, sometimes I meet them when I’m standing in line.
Standing in line?
Yes. I start a conversation with the person next to me.
Really? Aren’t you afraid to talk to someone you don’t know?
No, not at all. I like chatting with new people.
So what do you talk about?
Different things — where we live, what we enjoy, things that we like.
Interesting. So how about you, David? How do you meet new people?
I join groups with people that like the same things that I like.
Oh, that’s a great way to meet people and make new friends.
Hey, maybe you can join a group that likes English!
Yeah, and make some new friends — English-speaking friends!
What a great idea.
Now friends, it’s time to review by answering some questions.
Here’s our first one:
What do Julie and Lisa both like?
We can find the answer in Conversation A.
They both like baking, reading, and shopping.
Here’s our next question:
What are your hobbies?
Let’s go to our friends and hear their answers.
What are my hobbies?
I have lots of hobbies!
One hobby is playing with my pets. I have a big dog and I have two birds.
Oh, I also like playing the ukulele and other instruments.
And I love shopping — that’s a big hobby!
What are my hobbies?
Well, I really like to ride my bicycle.
I have a group of friends, and we go ride our bicycles on the weekend.
Sometimes we go in competitions.
It’s really fun to ride along the ocean.
What are my hobbies?
Ha! I have a lot of hobbies.
I love to go hiking with friends, and I love playing sports.
Oh, I started a new hobby recently — I like taking pictures of birds.
It’s hard, but it’s a fun hobby.
What are your hobbies?
What are my hobbies?
Well, my favorite hobby is traveling.
I like to plan trips, so I spend a lot of time reading about different places around the world.
And I like to spend time planning my next trip.
I also like to try different kinds of food.
And I like to go to traditional and local markets to see how people live.
Grandpa, what are your hobbies?
Oh, that’s easy! I like to read books.
And I like to play games, and I like to sing songs — la la la la la!
But my favorite hobby is taking naps. I like sleeping. Yeah!
Thanks for those answers.
Now friends, make sure you answer that question and talk about it with your friends, right?
You can say, “What are your hobbies?”
Or you can say, “What are your hobbies and interests?”
Then answer it with a good English sentence.
Hopefully, you say “learning English!”
Friends, we’ll see you again tomorrow, right here on Let’s Talk in English!
Goodbye!
