Hello friends.
Welcome to Let’s Talk in English.
My name is Esther and my name is Garrett.
We’re bringing you English you need today.
And the name of a lesson is Rideshare Apps.
Rideshare Apps.
First of all friends we’ve talked about this word before.
It’s the word app.
This is short for application.
We pronounce it app not a-p-p.
Because it’s short for something it’s not a p and p right.
An application is a small program that you can download.
And you can put it on your phone.
You can use apps for many things.
They make our lives much easier.
Like ride share apps now.
They’re called ride share apps because you can get a ride with them.
This means you can get someone to drive you where you want to go.
Just like with a taxi.
But you don’t need to find a yellow taxi on the street.
You can just use the app to call them to you.
But why do we call it ride share.
Well originally this meant someone was sharing their own car with you.
And letting you use it.
Not letting you drive but they drive you around.
There are many reasons why people use ride share apps.
Maybe you’re someone that doesn’t have your own car.
Or maybe you are too tired and you don’t want to drive.
So you might use a ride share app to get a ride.
Let’s learn more about these in our reading.
Ride share apps make getting around town easy and quick.
With just a few taps on your phone you can get a ride to your destination.
How does the app work.
It will show you a route and the cost.
Then the app will find a driver for you.
You will see the driver’s name and his or her picture.
You’ll also get the kind of car and the license plate number.
You’ll get an arrival time on your phone too.
When the driver comes get in and go.
Thanks Esther.
Friends let’s give you our Find It question for the day.
Here it is.
Why doesn’t Suzy want to drive.
Why doesn’t Suzy want to drive.
Listen carefully to find the answer.
Now let’s go to Sonia for today’s keywords.
Greg建議Susie使用轎車的應用程式。
You should use a rideshare app.
名詞app就是應用程式。只要在手機上按幾下。就會有司機載你到你的目的地去。
A driver will take you to your destination.
名詞driver就是司機。
輸入你要去的地方之後。程式會告訴你路線和車資。
Then the app gives you a route and the cost.
名詞cost就是費用。
如果你對於路線和車子沒有意見。程式就會告訴你車型和車牌號碼。
The app gives you the kind of car and its license plate number.
名詞license plate是汽車的牌照。
除此之外。
它也會告訴你車輛抵達的時間。
It tells you the arrival time too.
名詞arrival就是到達。
How will I get there?
Get where Suzy.
I’m going to a restaurant in the city.
I can’t drive because I can’t park around there.
You should use a rideshare app.
Is it easy to use.
Very.
With just a few taps on your phone you can get a ride.
A driver will take you to your destination.
How does it work?
I’ll show you.
Today we have Susie and Greg talking.
And we start our conversation with Susie talking to herself.
She says while looking at her phone how will I get there.
And Greg is there by her.
He wants to know where exactly Susie wants to go.
Well we find out that Susie is going to a restaurant in the city.
A restaurant is a place where you will order and pay for food that someone else makes for you right.
But hopefully you don’t need our help to find our Find It answer.
Here was that question again.
Why doesn’t Susie want to drive.
Because she can’t park around there.
When you drive you also need to find a place where you can stop your car and park.
Which means let your car rest while you do what you need to do.
Right now I love driving.
There’s a lot of freedom to it.
You can go wherever you want.
But driving in a big city can be inconvenient.
It’s hard to find a place to park.
So finding another way to get where you’re going can be nice right.
Because there might not be too many parking lots.
Or maybe they are expensive and often have no space.
So Suzy tells us I can’t drive because I can’t park around there.
And Greg has an idea.
He says you should use a ride share app.
Yes friends we talked about these.
Remember an app is those different things you can click on on your smartphone.
You’ll also have apps on your computer or your TV or car sometimes too right.
It’s like small programs.
Well Susie wants to know if these ride share apps are easy to use.
And that’s what she asks Greg.
Is it easy to use.
Well Greg thinks it’s very easy to use.
With just a few taps on your phone you can get a ride.
A tap is a light click or a light press on something like on those buttons on your phone.
It is quite easy to use these apps.
Especially if you use them often.
And they already have your information.
Right earlier we heard the words just a few taps.
Sonia can you tell us the difference between a few versus few.
Greg跟蘇西說非常容易。只要在你的手機上點幾下。就可以找到一輛車。司機會載你去你的目的地。
With just a few taps on your phone you can get a ride.
限定詞a few是幾個不多的意思。數量不多但仍然有一些。
來看例句。
I only know a few people in this room.
我只認識這個房間裡的幾個人。
或是We saw each other a few days ago.
我們幾天前見過面。
另外。Few則是很少或幾乎沒有的意思。表達數量極少。
來看例句。
Few people can climb to the top of Mount Everest.
很少人能夠爬到聖母峰的峰頂。
或是Few things can last for years without breaking.
很少東西能多年不損壞。
Greg tells us a driver.
A person who drives a car will take you to your destination or the place you want to go.
Exactly a driver.
Someone who drives.
They’ll drive you to your destination.
That sure does sound convenient.
Greg says he will show Suzy how this works.
He is a nice friend.
He will show Suzy on his phone.
Friends now it’s time for us to take a break.
Don’t go away we’ll be right back.
England that’s our English take a news to the day every day.
That’s the way.
Friends welcome back.
Today we’re talking about ride share apps and how to use them.
Remember we heard a driver will take you to your destination right.
When you get the app you’ll first want to put in your personal information like your name.
Your contact information.
And probably your credit card information or however you’re going to pay for the ride right.
Let’s go learn more about rideshare apps.
What do you do first?
Enter your destination in the app.
The Three Coin Restaurant.
Okay.
Then the app gives your route and the cost.
See.
That’s great.
When you accept the ride the app gives you the kind of car and its license plate number.
It tells you the arrival time too.
That’s very convenient.
I’ll give it a try.
Now during the break Garrett told us what you need to do when you start using a ride share app.
Now Greg is showing Susie what she needs to do as well.
Right so after you have that information in there we hear from Greg.
You need to put your destination into the app.
Put in the name of the restaurant or maybe even an address of where you’re going.
Right the place you want to go that is your destination.
Enter your destination and that’s today’s calendar phrase.
Enter your destination.
Enter your destination.
Enter your destination.
輸入你的目的地。
How does this ride share app work?
Enter your destination.
I did.
It’s not working.
Try again.
Enter your destination.
It’s still not working.
Ah try it again.
Enter your destination.
I did.
525 East Street.
But this is 525 East Street.
Oh.
Then I don’t need a ride.
Thank you.
Enter your destination.
Enter your destination.
輸入你的目的地。
Now Susie needs to enter her destination and she tells Greg the place she wants to go is called the Three Coins Restaurant.
Now Susie needs to enter her destination and she tells Greg the place she wants to go is called the Three Coins Restaurant.
Right that is where she wants to go.
She puts it in and then the app gives you a route and the cost.
So the route is the way they’re going to go.
Which streets will they drive on and how long will it take.
And the cost is how much money you will need to pay.
When you buy something you can ask people what is the cost.
Then someone will tell you how much money you need to pay.
When you’re choosing a ride share route you might say is this cost okay or is it too expensive.
They might also have different choices for different kinds of cars.
Well when you accept the ride the app gives you the kind of car and its license plate number.
And let’s talk about a license plate.
When you drive a car you have a special piece of metal that is on the front and the back of your car called the license plate.
This will have a series of numbers and letters or one or the other that shows exactly which one is your car.
It’s good to remember these letters or numbers right.
Because you want to make sure you get on the right car.
So you need to check your phone and check the app.
And when the car arrives make sure you’re on that right car.
Right and this will help you with that.
Greg says that the app tells you the arrival time.
Arrival means when someone is coming.
So the arrival time is when the car will get to where you are right now.
Suzy thinks that it’s very convenient.
If something is convenient, it means it’s easy or not too hard to use.
She says I’ll give it a try.
I’ll give it a try.
She doesn’t say I’ll try it.
Now these mean the same thing.
But we can use try as a noun here in this sentence.
Let’s go to Sonia to learn more.
私信說真的非常方便。我要來試試看。
I’ll give it a try 句尾的 try 常作動詞用。
但也可以如本句作名詞用，表示嘗試的意思。
來看題句。
Bike racing is so much fun. You should give it a try.
自行車比賽很有趣。你應該試試看。
或是 Remember you only have three tries。
記住你只有三次機會。
再一句 The new restaurant is worth a try。
那家新餐廳值得一試。
Thank you so much Sonya for giving that a try.
We sure learned a lot friends.

Wow, this is so convenient.
Thanks.
You’re welcome.
Now can we do the review?

The car will pick me up any minute.
Sorry, I have to go.
Now let’s review with two questions.
Here’s your first question:

Here’s our other question friends:
Do you use a rideshare app?
Why or why not?
Do you use a rideshare app?
Why or why not?
Let’s go to our friends to hear their answers.
Do I use a rideshare app?
Why not? Why not?
I definitely use a rideshare app.
It’s part of my life.
I’m constantly taking kids
here, there,
and I’m always running late.
So I use a rideshare app so I can get there on time.
Do I use a rideshare app?
Why or why not?
When I’m out with friends,
sometimes I use a rideshare app.
I know who is driving me.
I know what car they drive.
And I know how much it will be.
So it is very easy to use.
Do I use a rideshare app?
Why or why not?
Actually,
I love using rideshare apps.
It’s a great way for me to get where I want to go and stay safe.
The app can send a message to my friends or family
when I’ve gotten there safely.
Do I use a rideshare app?
Why or why not?
Yes, I love using rideshare apps.
They’re so easy.
It’s convenient.
But today I don’t use a rideshare app because
I left my phone at home.
I gotta go get it now.
Grandpa, do you use a rideshare app?
A rideshare app?
No, not really.
It’s hard for me to use apps on a cell phone.
I don’t even have a cell phone.
And I just usually walk in the neighborhood.
I don’t ride anywhere.
Friends, thank you so much for joining us today.
As we’ve been talking about rideshare apps, sure if
you ever need to go somewhere,
conveniently rideshare apps can be a great choice.
Just don’t spend too much money on them.
Well friends,
we’ll see you again tomorrow.
That’s right here on
Let’s Talk in English.

Hello everyone.
Welcome to Let's Talk in English.
My name is Garrett.
And my name is Esther.
Today our topic is English you need.
And we're talking about ride share apps.
We talked about these in our lesson yesterday.
Friends, there are apps, usually on your phone, that you can use to call a ride.
Right.
And remember the word app is short for application.
It’s a small program.
You can download it on your smartphone or computer.
In English, we don’t say app if you want to drive somewhere.
But you don’t want to drive yourself.
A ride share app can be a great choice.
There are many options and it’s very convenient.
Yesterday Greg showed Susie how to use a ride share app.
When you use a ride share app, you have to be careful about the cost or how much money you need to pay.
Right.
When you put in your destination or where you want to go, it will show you the route and the cost.
Look at it carefully.
Sometimes the cost can be quite high.
That’s true.
And when you put that information in your phone and you accept the ride, then you’ll also get the driver’s name and license plate number.
So you can get in that car when they arrive.
Well friends, we have arrived at our lesson for today.
Where you will try to find our Find It answer.
Here’s our question.
What does Sarah do some of the time?
What does Sarah do some of the time?
Listen carefully to find the answer.
Now let’s go to Sonia for our keywords.
Sam, Sarah叫車了沒有？
Did you request a ride on the app yet?
動詞 request 就是要求、提出需求。
車子還要多久才來？
Sara 說大約 5 分鐘。
About five minutes.
名詞 minute 就是分鐘。
Sara 可以用手機追蹤到司機的位置。
I can track the driver on my phone too.
動詞 track 就是追蹤。
Sara 說在美國的某些城市，有提供無人駕駛的計程車喔。
Seem 覺得感覺怪怪的。
It would be weird.
形容詞 weird 就是怪異的、不尋常的。雖然無人駕駛，但其實方便又安全喔。
而且還不需要給司機小費。
And there would be no driver to tip.
動詞 tip 就是給小費。
Did you request a ride on the app yet?
Yes, I did.
What’s the driver’s ETA?
About five minutes.
Oh good.
We don’t have to wait long.
I can track the driver on my phone too.
That’s nice.
I agree.
Do you use the ride share app often?
I do some of the time.
It’s convenient and sometimes better than driving.
Right.
You don’t have to worry about the traffic or finding a place to park.
Friends, have you ever been in a situation like Sam and Sarah?
You’re standing on the street and you are waiting for a ride.
Great.
Sometimes it can take quite a while.
You need to be patient.
That’s because you requested a ride.
And today, Sara has requested or asked for a ride on the ride share app.
You might use this word request in your conversations for things you ask for, especially official things.
You might request your grades from your school or request for a day off from your boss.
And this is a word you can also use as a noun.
You might ask someone, I have a request.
That means you want to ask them something, maybe very important.
Right.
Well, Sarah did request a ride and Sam asks her, what’s the driver’s ETA?
Now ETA is different from app.
This is something that we read out letter by letter because each of those letters is one whole word.
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival.
This means about what time will that ride or car get to where you are right now.
Exactly.
It’s not the exact time they will come.
It’s about the time we think they will come.
The ETA, well, the ETA for Sarah’s car is about five minutes.
And when we talk about time, we use minutes, seconds, and hours.
One minute is sixty seconds.
It’s a very short amount of time.
Right.
And sixty minutes is one hour.
There are twenty-four hours in one day.
Sam says that Sarah won’t have to wait long.
Five minutes is not too long to wait for a car.
And Sarah also tells Sam more about this ride share app.
She says, I can track the driver on my phone too.
When you track something, it means you follow it closely.
So on her phone, maybe there’s a small picture of where the car is going and what roads the driver is taking.
You know, Esther, that word track makes me think of hunters.
Hunters, for a long time, have tried to track animals.
They look at the prints in the ground or special smells to try and find out where the animals are.
Thanks for sharing, Garrett.
And Sam agrees that it is nice to use a ride share app.
He wants to ask if Sarah uses ride share apps often.
What’s the answer to that?
Well, it’s our Find It answer.
What does Sarah do some of the time?
We heard that she uses a ride share app.
So this is something that she does some of the time.
Not too often, but sometimes.
Right.
Why does she do this?
Well, it’s convenient and sometimes better than driving.
Not always, but it definitely can be in some situations.
And Sam agrees with Sarah.
He adds, you don’t have to worry about the traffic or finding a place to park.
Ooh, that is so true.
Traffic is no fun.
But it will be fun learning about it with Sonya.
Sam 說沒錯。
你不用擔心交通狀況或找停車位。
You don’t have to worry about the traffic or finding a place to park.
名詞 traffic 是車流量的意思，通常是指車流量大或是道路擁塞的狀況。
來看例句：
There’s a lot of traffic on the highway.
高速公路上車很多。
或是：
I can’t wait to get out of this heavy traffic.
我迫不及待想離開這個擁擠的交通。
再一句：
We have been stuck in traffic for three hours.
我們已經塞在車陣中 3 個小時了。
Thank you so much Sonia.
You are always so helpful.
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.
Let’s talk in English.
Every day.
Every day.
That’s the way.
Friends, welcome back.
Today one of our keywords is the word "track".
And earlier Garrett was sharing about this word.
Right.
Hunters track down animals.
Similarly, we can track a car on our rideshare app.
Or follow where it is on a map on the app.
You can do a similar thing when you ship a package.
Or are waiting for a package to come to you.
Right.
If you are mailing something to someone,
you can track
or you can keep a record of where the package has gone.
Maybe it’s gone from your city to another city
or even is gone abroad on an airplane or a ship.
That way nothing goes missing.
Friends, let’s get back to our lesson.
What if the car comes but there is no driver?
A self-driving car?
Do they really have those?
Yes.
You can get rides in self-driving cars in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.
Wow.
Can you request one on the app?
Yes, anytime.
Day or night.
They’re safe and convenient.
It would be weird.
But it might be fun to try.
I think so too.
And there would be no driver to tip.
Friends, do you ever do what Sara is doing?
She’s asking a question because she wants to talk about it.
She asks, what if the car comes but there’s no driver?
What does she mean by that?
Why would there be no driver?
That’s a silly question, Garrett.
Sarah is asking a question she wants Sam to think about.
So Sam says, a self-driving car?
Do they really have those?
Oh yeah.
Self-driving car.
I know those have been talked about in the news.
But I agree with Sam.
Do they really have those?
Well, let’s talk first about what a self-driving car is.
A self-driving car is a car that can move by itself without a person sitting there to drive it.
You might think of it as a robot.
It knows where to go to drive you to the right place safely without anyone in there moving the steering wheel.
Right.
And Sara is answering her own question.
She says you can get rides in self-driving cars in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.
And those are three really big cities on the west coast of the U.S. with a lot of technology.
So that makes sense.
Sam wonders if you can request one of these self-driving cars on the app.
And Sarah tells him that yes, you can request a self-driving car.
In fact, you can request one anytime, day or night.
And we use that phrase “day or night” quite often.
It means anytime of the day, whether it’s during the day, during the night, or anything in between.
Sonia, can you help us more with this phrase “day or night”?
Sarah 說你可以在舊金山、洛杉磯和拉斯維加斯叫到無人駕駛的車。
Sam 羨慕說你可以用城市叫一台車嗎？
Sarah 回答：可以喔，白天或晚上的任何時間都可以。
Yes. Anytime, day or night.
表示時間的副詞片語。
Day or night 就是不分晝夜、任何時間的意思。
來看例句：
You can call me for help day or night.
你隨時可以打電話給我尋求幫助。
或是：
They promise to deliver packages day or night.
他們保證任何時間都能送貨。
再一句：
We can pick you up day or night.
我們隨時都可以來接你。
Thank you Sonia.
Anytime, day or night.
That’s today’s calendar phrase.
Anytime, day or night.
Anytime, day or night.
白天或晚上任何時間都可以。
When can I text you?
Anytime, day or night.
When can I call you?
Anytime, day or night.
When can I visit you?
Anytime, day or night.
Really?
Yes.
But daytime is better.
Much better.
Got it.
Anytime, day or night.
Anytime, day or night.
白天或晚上任何時間都可以。
When thinking about these self-driving cars,
Sara says they’re safe and convenient.
They’re safe and convenient or easy to use, and you won’t get hurt.
Sam thinks being in one of these would be weird.
I agree.
Right.
If something is weird,
and that’s spelt W-E-I-R-D,
you think it’s kind of strange.
Maybe you don’t feel okay when you’re in a car like this.
Right.
It won’t feel normal.
We’re not used to that.
But it might be fun to try.
That’s what Sam says, and Sarah agrees with him.
And there’s one thing good about being in a self-driving car.
You don’t need to give the driver a tip.
Right.
For so many things in the U.S., you need to give a tip.
We usually think of this at restaurants.
You give your waiter or your server a tip.
That’s a small amount of money you give them for helping you out.
Right.
Usually it’s 15 to 20 percent.
So if you order something that’s ten dollars,
then you will add one dollar and fifty cents
or two dollars or even more to give the person who serves you.
So things cost a bit more than what you see originally.
That’s true with rideshare apps as well.
But if there’s no one driving the car,
you don’t need to tip.
So that’s one good thing about taking a self-driving car.
Friends, I hope you enjoy trying out new technology.
You can use the English you are learning to talk about these newly released things.
Now let’s go and review today’s keywords.
Here’s your first keyword for today.
Request.
Request.
He requested a glass of water.
Minute.
Minute.
I will be there in three minutes.
Track.
Track.
Becky tracks her children on her phone.
Weird.
Weird.
He said some weird things.
Tip.
Tip.
He tipped the server after the meal.
Well friends, those are your keywords for today.
You don’t need to give us a tip.
Just keep on practicing.
And now it’s your turn.
The words for today are request,
minute,
tracking,
weird,
and tip.
Now it’s your turn to use them in a sentence.
First one.
Can you wait a ___ or two?
This is a time word.
You got it.
Can you wait a minute or two?
Next.
Her car is making a ___ noise.
This word means strange.
Her car is making a weird noise.
Next.
Can we ___ a better table?
This is another word for "ask for."
That’s right.
Can we request a better table?
Next.
How much should I ___ the driver?
You got it.
How much should I tip the driver?
Last one.
Why are you ___ me?
That’s correct.
Why are you tracking me?
Great job using today’s keywords.
See you next time for your turn.
Did you request a ride on the app yet?
Yes, I did.
What’s the driver’s ETA?
About five minutes.
Oh good.
We don’t have to wait long.
I can track the driver on my phone too.
That’s nice.
I agree.
Do you use the ride share app often?
I do some of the time.
It’s convenient and sometimes better than driving.
Right.
You don’t have to worry about the traffic
or finding a place to park.
What if the car comes but there is no driver?
A self-driving car?
Do they really have those?
Yes.
You can get rides in self-driving cars in San Francisco,
Los Angeles,
and Las Vegas.
Wow.
Can you request one on the app?
Yes.
Anytime, day or night.
They’re safe and convenient.
It would be weird,
but it might be fun to try.
I think so too.
And there would be no driver to tip.
One, two, let’s review.
So David, I requested a ride on the ride share app.
Yes, I know.
Now I’m waiting for the driver.
So what’s the ETA?
ETA?
What’s that?
ETA is Estimated Time of Arrival.
Hmm.
Estimated Time of Arrival.
So what does that mean?
It’s the time the car should come to pick you up.
Oh.
ETA is in about five minutes.
Great.
Hey, what if it comes and there’s no driver?
No driver?
What are you talking about?
Maybe it will be a self-driving car.
Really?
Do they have those?
Some cities do.
You can request one.
They’re safe and convenient but weird.
It does sound weird.
But it might be fun to try.
No thanks.
I want a car with a driver.
Hey look.
Here comes your car now.
I see the car,
but I don’t see the driver.
It’s self-driving.
Hey, that’s great.
You won’t have to tip the driver.
I don’t know.
I’m a little nervous.
Hello Grandpa.
How are you today?
Great. Hee Hee.
Just call me Great.
Okay.
I’ll call you Great Grandpa.
Have you heard about self-driving cars?
Self-driving cars?
Do they really have those?
Yes, they do.
And my first question is about that.
Okay.
What’s the question?
What wouldn’t you have to do in a self-driving car?
That’s easy.
You wouldn’t have to drive, of course.
You wouldn’t have to drive.
Everybody knows that.
Well, then why did you ask?
Ah, because I was looking for a different answer.
Oh.
Let me think.
What wouldn’t you have to do in a self-driving car?
Oh I know.
You wouldn’t have to tip the driver.
That’s correct.
Because there isn’t a driver.
That’s right.
So Grandpa, would you ride in a self-driving car?
No, no, no.
I don’t think so.
Oh.
Why not?
Because I enjoy talking to the driver.
But there isn’t one.
Well, maybe you could talk to yourself.
Okay.
I’ll ride in one and talk to myself.
Oh wait a second.
That would be a little weird.
Well, that’s me.
Friends, we want to end by asking you a few questions.
Would you ride in a self-driving car?
Why or why not?
Would you feel safe in one of these?
After all, they’re a new technology.
I would like to do some more research.
But if they’re safe,
I would try it.
Right.
You won’t need to pay a tip.
And you might feel like you’re in a movie or something.
It would be exciting.
Friends, keep using your English to talk about these lessons.
And open up your magazine to try out a fun activity that we have for you.
Well, we will see you again tomorrow.
That’s right, here on Let’s Talk in English.
Goodbye.
