hello friends

Welcome to Let’s Talk in English.

My name is Esther, and my name is Garrett.

Today we have a wonderful travel lesson for you.

The name of our lesson is "Traveling to Florence." All right!

We’re talking about Florence, friends.

This is a city—where is it? In the country of Italy, yes!

This is in Europe, and if you have ever been here,

you will know that this city is very

famous because there is a lot of art here, right?

There are beautiful paintings,

statues, and buildings.

Millions of people travel to this city every year,

and we get to talk about it with you, friends!

We also get to look for our Find It answer.

Our question is: What did Terra climb?

So remember Terra, our world traveler.

She travels around the world, and every month,

she tells us about where she has been

or where she plans to go.

Let’s say it one more time: What did Terra climb? Yes!

We will find out where Terra went

and what she got to climb in our lesson today—

along with learning

about lots of other great things in Florence.

I know this is a city I have always wanted to visit, right?

I’ve never been to Florence myself either,

but you often hear about it,

and you can see the beautiful buildings in Florence

in many paintings and pictures, right?

I think a trip to Italy would be great,

because there’s a lot to

see in Florence.

But it’s not the only interesting city in the country.

There are so many interesting ones—from Rome to Naples

to many others.

Well, we’re going to learn more about Florence,

but first let’s go to Sonia to learn today’s key words.

Terra去了佛羅倫斯的美術館參觀，看到好多令人讚嘆的畫作。

I saw so many wonderful paintings there.

形容詞 "wonderful" 就是極好的、令人讚嘆的，

而名詞 "painting" 就是繪畫、畫作。

Greg問她：你去看大衛雕像了嗎？

Did you go and see the Statue of David?

名詞 "statue" 就是雕像。

Carol還參觀了聖母百花聖殿，那是一座美輪美奐的大教堂。

It is a beautiful church.

名詞 "church" 就是教堂。

進大門後的上方有一座時鐘，是西元1443年製造的，很古老喔！

There is a clock inside above the entrance.

名詞 "entrance" 就是入口、大門。

Welcome, Terra! What adventures do you have to share with us today?

A lot, Greg! I just got back from Florence, Italy.

That is an amazing, beautiful city.

You can say that again!

The art there is fantastic. Did you visit the Uffizi Gallery?

It’s one of the finest

and oldest art museums in the world.

I did! I saw so many wonderful paintings there.

My favorite was Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo. Yay!

It is always so much fun when Terra comes on Greg’s program, right?

And Greg starts by asking her,

“What adventures do you have to share with us today?”

And that’s because Terra often shares—or talks about—

where she has been around the world.

She has great adventures.

Adventures are like trips you go on full of excitement,

and sometimes even danger!

Well, hopefully Terra’s wasn’t too dangerous,

but she does have a lot to share. Yes!

Terra has many things to share.

And remember: the words "a lot" are two words, not one word.

Terra tells us that she just got back from Florence, Italy.

All right—Florence, Italy!

This is a city

much further north in Italy than some others.

And Greg knows it is an amazing,

beautiful city, right?

And the way I remember

where Italy is on the map is that it looks like a boot—

shoes that people wear on their feet.

Long shoes in the wintertime, right?

So open up a map and see if you can look at that—

it does kind of look like a boot, friends!

Well, Terra completely agrees with what Greg says,

so she says, “You can say that again,” right?

And “You can say that again” is also

today’s calendar phrase.

You can say that again.

You can say that again.

我完全同意。

The art here is fantastic.

You can say that again.

Okay, the art here is fantastic.

You can say that again.

Okay, the art here is fantastic.

You can say that again.

Okay, the art here is fine, but please don’t. You’ve said it enough.

Oh, okay.

You can say that again.

我完全同意。

(You can say that again. 「完全同意你說的話。」或「你說得太對了！」

這句話常用來表達強烈的贊同或認同對方剛說的話，並不是叫對方真的再說一次喔！

A: 今天真的好熱啊！

B: You can say that again. 你說得太對了。

如果你想要更地道的翻譯方式，根據語境也可以說：「說得沒錯。」「真是一點也沒錯。」「完全贊成！」)
“You can say that again”—when you use this phrase,

it often doesn’t mean you want someone to repeat themselves.

It just means you really agree with what they said, right?

And now let’s go to Sonia for more on this phrase.

Terra說我完全同意："You can say that again."

本句不是要求對方再說一次，而是表達非常贊同對方的說法。

其他類似的說法來看例句：

"I couldn’t agree more."（我完全同意）

或是 "Totally"、還有 "Exactly"（沒錯）

再一句 "That’s for sure."（那是肯定的）

Thank you, Sonia.

Tara tells us that the art there in Florence,

Italy is fantastic. If something is fantastic,

it means it’s amazing, or excellent, or even wonderful.

Well, Greg does know a few things.

He wants to know if Terra visited the Uffizi Gallery.

A gallery is a place

you can go to see art that’s on display—a lot like a museum, right?

And Greg knows that the Uffizi Gallery is one of the most famous.

He says it’s one of the finest and oldest

art museums in the world, right?

An art museum is a place where you can see art.

People aren’t making art there;

they’re showing art that was made before—

sometimes a long time ago,

like art from Michelangelo.

But sometimes you might hear this guy’s name

said a different way, right?

Many people pronounce it as "Michael Angelo" as well.

But Garrett, I think

your name sounds more like what it should sound—

it’s a little more like the Italian pronunciation.

Well, Terra did go to the Uffizi Gallery and saw

many wonderful paintings.

But her favorite was Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo, right?

The Doni Tondo is very special

because it’s a round painting.

And if you paint something, it means that you are using

special oils or liquids to draw.

So it is a painting. Yeah.

When you paint something, the picture

you make is called a painting.

At a gallery,

there are often many paintings.

Well friends, think about this as we go and take a quick break.

Don’t go away.

Every day, that’s the way!

Welcome back to the show, everyone.

Do you enjoy looking at old art?

If you do, what kind do you like looking at?

You know, this Doni Tondo

was painted a long time ago.

People believe it was painted in the early 1500s.

Wow! That’s hundreds of years ago!

And still today,

you can go and look at it if you visit Florence.

Friends, let’s get back to our conversation.

Did you go and see the Statue of David?

I did! It was so beautiful.

The museum was really crowded, though.

Of course—everyone wants to see that famous statue.

I also visited the Duomo.

It is a beautiful church.

There is a clock

inside, above the entrance.

It was made in 1443,

and it still works.

That is so interesting.

Did you climb the dome?

I did! I got a wonderful view of Florence from the top.

Ah, I’ve heard of this piece of art.

Greg wants to know if Terra went to see the Statue of David, right?

A statue is something made of wood or rock

that you need to carve.

So the Statue of David is one of the most

famous statues in the world.

David was a man called David. He lived a long time ago,

and in the statue,

he is not wearing any clothes.

That’s right.

But it is a famous piece of art

that you can find in Florence.

If you want to know more about David,

you can find it in the Bible.

Right, and Terra did see the Statue of David.

She says that it was so beautiful,

and the museum, though, was very crowded.

This means there were many people at the museum.

I imagine famous museums have people all over the place.

I remember going to a famous museum in Paris, France.

There, it was hard to see any of the paintings

because there were so many people.

Right, everyone wanted to see

those wonderful and amazing paintings.

And Greg agrees. He says, “Of course—

everyone wants to see that famous statue,”

right? The Statue of David.

Well, Terra also visited some other places.

She visited the Duomo.

I think this might be the most famous place in Florence, right?

If you look at a picture of Florence,

you will usually see a picture of the Duomo.

It is a beautiful old church.

Right—the roof, or the top of it, is kind of round.

We hear there is a clock inside,

above the entrance.

Right—the entrance is where you enter.

Now, a church is a place where people who believe in God

go and worship.

There are many churches around the world—

especially in Europe—

and many of these are very old.

They’re often open to the public.

So if you’re a tourist visiting there,

you can walk inside and look at the beautiful art

or the beautiful building.

Just make sure you’re quiet and be respectful.

And what’s amazing about this clock

was that it was made in 1443,

and it still works!

The clock is still running. Wow!

It can still tell you the time.

You’ll just need to find it by the entrance—

that’s the place where you go into the building.

Many buildings have entrances.

Right now, let’s go learn more about this sentence:

“It was made in 1443, and it still works.”

Sonia, can you help us?

Terra去參觀了聖母百花聖殿，那是一座美輪美奐的大教堂。

大門裡面的上方有一座時鐘，是在西元1443年製造的，而現在仍然在計時喔。

It was made in 1443 and it still works.

本句為被動式句型：

主詞 + be動詞 + 過去分詞。

最常見的情況是：

當語句內容不清楚是誰做的，或是「誰做的」並不是重點時，就可以使用被動式。來看例句：

My phone was stolen.（我的手機被偷了。）

或是：All the shoes were sold.（所有的鞋子都賣光了。）

再一句：Every cookie was eaten.（每一塊餅乾都被吃掉了。）

Thank you, Sonia.

Greg finds this interesting, and then he asks Terra:

Did you climb the dome?

The dome looks like the top part of a ball, right?

A dome is that rounded part on the top of the building—

here, on the top of the Duomo.

The Duomo has a dome.

And friends, we have an answer to our Find It question:

What did Terra climb?

She climbed the dome of the Duomo. Yes!

There are some stairs that you can take

to climb to reach the top, right?

That must be exhausting, but I’m sure the view is great.

Now friends, let’s review our keywords.

Here’s our first keyword: wonderful

Wonderful – I had a wonderful time in Texas.

painting

Painting – I looked at the paintings in the museum.

statue – Do you see the statue of a man?

church

Church – Many people went into the church.

entrance

Entrance – Many people went in the entrance.

Friends, those are today’s keywords. Keep practicing!

And now it’s your turn.

The words for today are: wonderful, paintings, statues, church, and entrance.

Now it’s your turn to use them in a sentence.

First one:

This _____ is beautiful inside.

It’s a building.

You got it! This church is beautiful inside.

Next: The food here is _____.

You need an adjective here.

The food here is wonderful.

Next: Where is the _____ to the library?

This is where you enter.

Where is the entrance to the library?

Next: We looked at the _____ in the garden.

They were made of stone.

That’s correct! We looked at the statues in the garden.

Last one: Several _____ are on the wall.

Good job! Several paintings are on the wall.

Did you get all the answers right?

That’s great! Don’t forget to come back for Your Turn.

Welcome, Kara! What adventures do you have to share with us today?

A lot, Greg! I just got back from Florence, Italy.

That is an amazing, beautiful city.

You can say that again!

The art there is fantastic. Did you visit the Uffizi Gallery?

It’s one of the finest and oldest art museums in the world.

I did! I saw so many wonderful paintings there.

My favorite was Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo.

Did you go and see the Statue of David?

I did.

It was so beautiful. The museum was really crowded, though.

Of course—everyone wants to see that famous statue!

I also visited the Duomo.

It is a beautiful church.

There is a clock inside, above the entrance.

It was made in 1443, and it still works.

That is so interesting!

Did you climb the dome?

I did! I got a wonderful view of Florence from the top.

One, two, let’s review—oh, hello!

Is your name Florence?

No, that’s not my name.

But your suitcase says “Florence.”

That’s because I just got back from Florence.

Oh! Florence, Italy?

Yes!

It was wonderful. Florence is an amazing and beautiful city.

It sure is. It has one of the finest

and oldest art museums in the whole world.

There are so many wonderful paintings there.

That’s right. I saw a painting by Ma... Mica...

Ma... Mica... Mica Angelo?

Oh yeah!

And a famous statue, too.

Ah, the Statue of David?

Yeah! It was very nice.

But the museum was so crowded.

Of course! Everyone wants to see the statue. It’s very famous.

And I visited a beautiful church.

It has a big clock inside—

That’s hundreds of years old.

Does it still work?

Oh yeah!

Oh, and the church has a big dome, and I climbed to the top.

Oh! How was the view?

It was wonderful!

Ah, sounds like a great trip. Thanks for sharing, Florence!

My name is not Florence.

Sorry, I forgot. Huh...

Hey Grandpa, do you know where Florence is?

No... who’s Florence?

Is she lost?

Grandpa, Florence is a city in Italy.

Oh! That Florence! Yeah, it’s a very famous place.

It sure is.

Tara went there. She saw wonderful artwork.

Great! So what was Terra’s favorite painting?

Her favorite painting was—

Oh hey! I was going to ask you that!

Well, I asked you first!

Do you know the answer?

Yes, I do.

Her favorite painting was Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo.

Thanks for that answer!

It’s not easy to say.

No, it isn’t.

So Grandpa, do you enjoy going to art museums?

Oh yes, I enjoy art museums. Why?

Because art is so interesting.

Some artwork is beautiful.

Some artwork is colorful.

Some artwork is crazy!

Art museums are fun—there’s so much to see.

I agree!

I enjoy art museums too.

Hey! We should visit an art museum together.

Yeah!

Hmm... maybe we should.

But which one?

The famous one in Italy?

Grandpa, that’s too far away!

Too bad...

Well friends,

Today we talked about a famous building in Florence—

the Duomo.

But I think we should talk about the parts of any building.

For starters, all buildings have an entrance, right?

The entrance is where you go in.

Here, you will find the door.

Once you open the door,

you will go in the building.

All right. Now, buildings also have an exit.

That’s where you leave the building.

Often, the entrance and the exit are the same,

but sometimes there are exits you can only go out of—

but not come in, right?

And buildings have walls.

When you’re inside a building,

you will see walls around you.

Finally, there’s a roof on the top of the building.

Friends, we’ll be back with more on Florence

right here on Let’s Talk in English.

Goodbye!

Traveling to Florence 精緻絕美佛羅倫斯(中)

只要修正英文文法，保留原文，同時將簡體中文修改為繁體中文，不要將原文的英文翻譯成中文

Hello everyone, welcome to Let’s Talk in English.

My name is Garrett.

And my name is Esther. Today our topic is travel, and our title is Traveling to Florence.

Yes, friends, we are traveling to this magical city together in the north of Italy, right?

And yesterday we talked about some of the places you can go when you visit Florence, right?

Like that amazing church—the Duomo—with a rounded dome on top that you can climb up from the inside.

And that’s what Terra did. When you climb up to the top, you can get a nice view of Florence.

Exactly! There are a lot of other things to do there.

You can also go to the Uffizi Gallery and see the amazing works of art there, like paintings from Michelangelo, right?

And you will see other Italian artists and their work there as well.

Now today, Suzy and James will be talking about Florence as well.

And let’s go to our Find It question.

Here’s our question, friends:

What could Suzy and James do after they cross the bridge?

Friends, pay attention to this question and try to find the answer in today’s lesson.

Right, after they cross the bridge...

Oh, I wonder where our co-workers are today.

Are they near a bridge around our town?

What will be on the other side?

Listen carefully, and now let’s go to Sonia, who will teach us our keywords.

Suzy 說佛羅倫斯有一座很有名的橋，There’s the famous bridge.

名詞 bridge 就是橋梁。

這座橋叫做老橋。它有好幾百年的歷史了。

It is centuries old.

名詞 century 就是一百年，一世紀的「世紀」。

橋上有很多商店，賣的大部分是金銀的珠寶首飾，

Mostly gold and silver jewelry.

名詞 gold 就是黃金。

走過老橋，可以欣賞佛羅倫斯的建築物。

We could see some of the buildings of Florence.

名詞 building 就是建築物。

穿梭在佛羅倫斯的小巷子裡，可以看到很多的小店和餐廳，還可以吃點披薩喔！

And get some pizza.

名詞 pizza 就是披薩。

Would you like to visit Italy, James?

I would. It’s a wonderful country.

If you went, where would you go first?

I’d go to Florence.

Me too!

Wow, we are in Florence.

And there’s the famous bridge—the Ponte Vecchio.

What a cool bridge!

It must be really old.

It is. It is centuries old.

There are many shops on the bridge.

What do they sell?

Mostly gold and silver jewelry.

All right, so Suzy and James are talking,

and Suzy wonders if James would like to visit Italy, right?

Italy is a country in Europe.

If you look on the map, it looks like a boot.

And James said, “Yes, I would.” He said, “It’s a wonderful country.”

I agree! I would also like to visit Italy.

And Esther, I have a question for you.

Sure!

What are three things that you think of when you’re thinking of Italy?

Well, when I think of Italy, I think of art.

Mmm, that’s a good one.

Pizza.

Pizza, okay, yeah!

And Rome.

And Rome—the wonderful capital city.

Yes, there’s so much to think of.

There’s great food there and beautiful old buildings.

Well, Suzy wonders if James went there,

where would he go first?

Right, this means when he gets there, where does he want to go?

Right, when he arrives.

Well, James says that he’d like to go to Florence.

Florence is a city that we have been talking about in northern Italy.

And so Suzy and James are now experiencing this great city

as they imagine what it would be like to be there.

They are in Florence—well, kind of.

And Suzy sees something. She says:

“There’s the famous bridge—the Ponte Vecchio.”

The Ponte Vecchio. This is a bridge.

Bridges carry you across—usually a river.

It’s hard to walk through a river,

so a bridge allows you to cross to the other side.

Right, it is a path that connects two sides of the land.

And James thinks this is a very cool bridge.

He says, “It must be really old.”

Oh, I agree with James.

It must be really old.

And that must be today’s calendar phrase.

It must be really old.

It must be really old.

那一定非常古老。

That is Grandma’s radio. It must be really old.

And that is Grandma’s hat. It must be really old.

Yes, and that is Grandma’s flower pot. It must be really old.

Yes.

What’s the oldest thing Grandma has?

Me.

Oh...

You must be really old.

Yeah.

It must be really old.

那一定非常古老。

Thanks for that, guys.

Well, this bridge—Ponte Vecchio—is very old.

We hear it's centuries old, right?

In the word century, cen-tury is one of our key words.

It means one hundred years.

We live in the 21st century, right?

That means there have been twenty times one hundred years since the year zero—plus a few more.

We’re in the middle of that 21st century.

Well, we hear also there are many shops on the bridge.

So it’s not just for walking or driving across, right?

This is a very special bridge.

How many bridges do you know that have shops?

This one has many shops. And what do they sell?

Well, mostly gold and silver jewelry.

Jewelry are pretty things that people wear around them—usually women.

It’s things like rings or a necklace, right?

And gold is a kind of metal people use to make jewelry.

It’s very shiny and it’s yellow, and it is very expensive.

Many people will wear gold jewelry when they get married in Asia, right?

Well, friends, let’s go over to Sonya now to learn more.

Susie 說老橋上有很多商店。James 問他們賣什麼。

Susie 回答大部分賣金銀的珠寶首飾。

Mostly gold and silver jewelry.

句首 mostly 為副詞，是「大多數的」、「主要的」或是「通常的」之意。

來看例句：

I mostly eat bread for breakfast.

我早餐大多吃麵包。

或是：

The park is mostly trees and grass.

這座公園大部分是樹和草地。

另外還有 most 也可作副詞，最常見於修飾最高級形容詞中，表示「最⋯⋯的程度」。

This is the most beautiful garden I’ve ever seen.

這是我見過最美麗的花園。

或是：

Finding and fixing problems is the most difficult job.

找出並解決問題是最困難的工作。

Thank you, Sonya.

Now friends, it’s time for us to take a quick break.

Don’t worry—we’ll be right back with more, so don’t go away.

Talking English, talking English, every day, every day!

Welcome back to the show, everyone.

Now, when you are a tourist in a special city,

the first place you think of going to might not be a bridge.

But maybe it should be—in Florence, right?

Because this is one of the most famous bridges in the world.

It is centuries old—the Ponte Vecchio, friends!

Let’s go back to our conversation to see what else we can find.

It would be fun to walk across the bridge.

Yes, we could see some of the buildings of Florence.

Many of them are really old.

And we could see the river and more bridges.

After we cross the bridge,

we could walk in the narrow streets and look at the shops and restaurants—

and get some pizza!

Visiting Florence would be really fun.

It would—but right now, I’d like some pizza!

Let’s go get some!

When you walk across a bridge,

you walk from one side of the bridge to the other side.

That’s right. That’s why James thinks it would be fun

to walk across the bridge here in Florence.

I think he has a good point.

And Susie tells us that when you walk on this bridge,

you can see some of the buildings of Florence.

Many of them are very old.

Yes, many of them are really old.

Florence is an old city with a lot of history.

Many famous people are from there,

as well as many famous artists.

When you are walking outside,

you will see many buildings.

Buildings have doors, and you can go inside buildings, right?

Buildings were made by people.

Houses are buildings.

Stores are buildings.

Even museums are buildings.

And from the bridge here in Florence,

you can see many old buildings.

And you can see the river and even more bridges.

Right, it’s a good place to get a nice view of the city.

Now let’s go and answer our Find It question.

Our question was:

What could Susie and James do after they cross the bridge?

The answer is:

They could walk in the narrow streets and look at the shops and restaurants.

Right, this is fun to do if you are visiting a city.

You can see what people are selling, and you can walk along the streets and look at the restaurants.

Right. Now, that word narrow here means very thin.

A lot of the streets in this old city were only made for people to walk around, and they’re very narrow.

That’s different from the U.S., where I’m from, where a lot of streets are wide—

made for cars and lots of people to move through.

Right, and on many of these old streets, cars might not even be allowed to drive on them.

You’ll need to walk if you want to visit.

Yes, so after you cross the bridge, you can see these things.

We heard the word across earlier.

Here’s Sonya to tell us the difference.

Susie 說過橋之後，我們可以漫步在狹窄的街道上。

After we crossed the bridge, we could walk in the narrow street.

動詞 cross 是「越過、度過」的意思，與介系詞 across 有不同的用法。

先來看動詞 cross 的例句：

Do not cross the red line.

不要越過紅線。

或是：

Be careful when you cross the street.

過馬路時要小心。

而介系詞 across 是「橫越、穿過」的意思，來看例句：

Can you walk across this rope without falling?

你能夠走過這條繩子而不掉下去嗎？

或是：

Tony swam across the lake.

Tony 游過了湖。

Thank you so much, Sonya.

Well, after you cross the bridge, you can get something to eat—

maybe one of Italy’s most famous dishes.

Esther, I know you like this.

That’s right—we can get pizza there!

Pizza is a delicious kind of food.

There is a bread bottom—it’s usually round—

and on the top, you have a sauce and some toppings.

Exactly. There are special kinds of pizza in different parts of the world now,

but all of them originally came from Italy.

So make sure you try it if you visit Florence.

Right. And Susie thinks that visiting Florence would be really fun.

Right. Someday, maybe their dreams can come true and they can actually cross that bridge.

But one thing they can do right now is go get some pizza!

And that’s what they are going to do.

James said: “But right now, I’d like some pizza.”

I’d like is short for I would like.

“Let’s go get some” is short for let us go get some.

All right, friends—wherever you are, pizza is probably not too far away.

Now friends, let’s go and review our keywords.

Here is our first keyword:

bridge

There are many bridges over the river.

century

A century is one hundred years.

gold

Is the statue made of gold?

building

Did the boys go in the building?

pizza

What do you want on your pizza?

Friends, those are today’s keywords. You’re doing a great job.

And now it’s your turn.

The words for today are: bridge, century, gold, building, and pizza.

Now it’s your turn to use them in a sentence:

First one:

Jim ___ for lunch. This is a delicious food from Italy.

→ Jim ate pizza for lunch.

Can we walk across the ___? It goes over a river.

→ Can we walk across the bridge?

Peter works in that ___.

→ Peter works in that building.

___ is very expensive.

→ Gold is very expensive.

Last one:

This painting is a ___ old.

→ This painting is a century old.

Friends, that’s all for today.

I’ll see you next time for Your Turn.

Would you like to visit Italy, James?

I would. It’s a wonderful country.

If you went, where would you go first?

I’d go to Florence.

Me too!

Wow, we are in Florence.

And there’s the famous bridge—the Ponte Vecchio.

What a cool bridge!

It must be really old.

It is—it is centuries old.

There are many shops on the bridge.

What do they sell?

Mostly gold and silver jewelry.

It would be fun to walk across the bridge.

Yes, we could see some of the buildings of Florence.

Many of them are really old.

And we could see the river and more bridges.

After we cross the bridge,

we could walk in the narrow streets

and look at the shops and restaurants—

and get some pizza!

Visiting Florence would be really fun.

It would. But right now, I’d like some pizza.

Let’s go get some!

One, two, let’s review—oh hi Florence, you’re back!

Haha!

My name is not Florence.

Oh, that’s right. But you’re back from Florence?

Yes—Florence, Italy!

Hey, have you been to Italy?

No, not yet, but I hear it’s a wonderful country.

Yes, it is. So if you go there, where would you like to go first?

I would visit the famous bridge—Ponte Vecchio.

It’s centuries old.

Yeah, it’s a really cool bridge.

It has many shops on it.

Really? What do they sell in the shops?

Mostly gold and silver jewelry.

Can you walk across the bridge?

Yeah! And you can see buildings, the river, and even more bridges.

Any restaurants?

Oh yeah, lots of restaurants! You can even get pizza there.

Oh, sounds good—I love pizza.

Me too. Hey, let’s go and get some now.

Uh, sounds good.

Come on, Florence, let’s go!

Hey! My name is not Florence!

Oh... all about you.

Well, friends,

even though Florence is not the most famous city for pizza in all of Italy,

it could be a great place to try it.

And Esther, I want to ask you—what is your favorite kind of pizza?

My favorite kind of pizza?

I think I like deep-dish pizza.

It’s a little different from the traditional pizza

because you add a lot of fillings inside the pizza—

lots of sauce and lots of cheese.

It comes from the American city of Chicago.

I like a more California-style pizza.

It’s thin, often with barbecue sauce and chicken.

That sounds delicious!

Friends, do you like pizza?

If so, what is your favorite kind of pizza?

All right, make sure to share that with your friends as you speak in English.

And of course, share some pizza while you do that.

Friends, we are so thankful you joined us,

and we look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.

That’s right—here on Let’s Talk in English.

Goodbye!

Tao amici

Florence, Italy is a beautiful city filled with history,

Art, and tasty food.

It’s the capital of Tuscany

And is famous for its art and architecture.

Famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci

And Michelangelo were born here.

People visit from

All over the world

To see the works of art in the city’s museums.

They walk the streets to admire the old buildings and

Churches, and to learn about the past.

Well, the city of Florence definitely is full of great food,

History, and art.

And it’s the capital city of the province of Tuscany, right?

The capital city is the city

Where the government and many famous or

Important buildings are.

It’s not the capital of the country,

But just this part of it.

And it’s famous for its art and architecture.

Now, architecture refers

To all of the buildings you can find there.

And we learn that two very famous artists, Leonardo da

Vinci and Michelangelo, were born in Florence, right?

These are two of the most famous artists ever.

They made amazing sculptures and paintings.

And they are artists — or people who make art.

Here’s Sonia to tell us more about this.

著名的藝術家，像是里奧納多‧達文西和米開朗基羅，都出生於此。

Famous artists such as Leonardo da Vinci And Michelangelo were born here.

名詞 art 是藝術，字尾加上 -ist 就成了從事藝術工作的藝術家。

牛頓是一位偉大的科學家。

或是 style → stylist（造型師）：

Carol 是我最喜歡的髮型師。

還有一個 tour → tourist（觀光客）：

Thousands of tourists visit London every year.

每年有成千上萬的遊客造訪倫敦。

Thank you, Sonia.

Well, those artists we talked about

Made amazing pieces of art.

So people travel from all over the world to see them, right?

And people also like to walk the streets to admire or

Enjoy the old buildings and churches.

They also like to learn about the past, or what happened

In history, right?

You can also talk about your own past —

That’s everything that happened before now in your life, right?

That is what we call the past.

Now let’s continue our lesson.

The Boboli Gardens in Florence,

A beautiful green space behind the Pitti Palace,

Is a must-see.

Work began on these gardens over four hundred years ago.

They are very large and filled with fountains,

Statues, and tall trees.

It’s a perfect place to get away from the noise of the city.

You can walk around and admire the lovely flowers

And statues — you’ll see fantastic views of the city too.

We now hear about

Another special place you can visit in Florence.

These are the Boboli Gardens, right near the Pitti Palace, right?

This is a beautiful green space.

And we hear that it is a must-see.

“Must-see”

Is a place that you should visit if you go to that place.

Yeah, it’s behind this palace — a palace,

A long time ago,

And sometimes today,

Is a place where someone like a king or a queen lives.

It’s big and beautiful, right?

And we heard that this is a must-see.

Sonia, can you help us with this word?

佛羅倫斯不容錯過的一個景點就是波波里花園它是位於皮蒂宮後方的一片美麗盎然綠地

The Boboli Gardens in Florence, a beautiful green space behind the Pitti Palace, is a must-see.

複合名詞 must-see 表示大力推薦、必看的意思類似的複合名詞還有 must-do、must-have、must-try 等等

來看例句：

Visiting the Statue of Liberty is a must-do in New York.

參觀自由女神像是去紐約必做的事

或是 A tent is a must-have for camping.

帳篷是露營必備的

再一個 That new pizza place is a must-try.

那間新開的披薩店一定要試試看

Thank you, Sonia.

We hear that work began on these gardens over

four hundred years ago.

This means that people began

building these gardens a long time ago,

but not necessarily that they finished them then.

But hopefully we have finished finding our Find It answer.

The question was: What fills the Boboli Gardens?

They are filled with fountains,

statues, and tall trees.

Garrett, what are fountains?

Well, fountains are things you might find in a park or a mall.

They shoot water into the air

and often have beautiful designs, right?

Sometimes there is a statue in the middle of the fountain.

The Boboli Gardens is a perfect place to get away

if you think the city is too noisy.
