Let’s talk in English, ten minutes every day. That’s the way.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to Let’s Talk in English. My name is Garrett. And I am Maria. Today we have a fun lesson. It is our Talk About It story. This one is called A Trip to the Mountains.

Yes, in today’s story, we’ll have a group of people who are planning to go on a trip together. That’s right. And if you like to have fun in the mountains, you like nature, then I think you will like today’s story. Absolutely.

Well, friends, if you haven’t seen our Talk About It stories before, let’s introduce them real quick. They are stories that often have a problem in them. We won’t see what happens in the end with the characters.

You need to decide what you would do if you were there. That’s right. And as you are listening to the story, we want you to keep our Find It question in mind. Look for the answer. And the question is, why must Jack bring his dog?

Why must Jack bring his dog? Okay, so they’re going to bring a dog on this trip. I think dogs would love a trip to the mountains. I agree. Well, now let’s go to Sonia for our keywords.

他家的山间小屋虽然小，但是很舒适。 The cabin is small but comfortable.

形容词 comfortable 就是舒适的。他决定请 Levi 开车，Dylan 指路一起去玩。Dylan 说，一路上我再跟你说要怎么走。 I’ll give you directions on the way.

名词 directions 就是指引方向。 Levi 说他超期待这趟旅行。 I’m so excited about the trip.

形容词 excited 就是兴奋的。他对 Jack 说，Dylan 和我这周末要到他们家的山中小屋去玩。 Dylan and I are going to his family’s cabin in the mountains this weekend.

名词 mountain 就是山。 结果 Jack 也要一起去，但是他却带着他的狗一起出现在集合地点。 Dylan 说他们家是不准带狗去山中小屋的，而且狗会打扰到森林中的动物。 She’ll bother the forest animals.

名词 forest 就是森林。 Dylan is telling his friend Levi about his family’s cabin. The cabin is small but comfortable. I love being out in nature. Can you take me there sometime? Sure.

Want to go this weekend? Asks Dylan. Yes, we can take my car. It’s more comfortable than yours. Great. I’ll give you directions on the way. It can be difficult to find.

They start talking about things to bring.

All right, we start off our story learning about a couple of our characters. We have Dylan and Levi. It seems like they might be in their office. I think that’s fair to say. And Dylan is talking to Levi about his family’s cabin.
