Unit 2
Good Morning World – More than words
Kim: Welcome back to the show! Coming up, we have musical guest, Shalia, here to sing a song from her new album.
Jay: Yes!
Kim: It sounds like Jay is excited. Are you excited, Jay?
Jay: Yes!
Kim: But first, we’re going to have a little fun. Jay, do you know the game charades?
Jay: Do I know charades? You are looking at the champion of the Jones Family Charades Contest.
Kim: OK. Well, for anyone who doesn’t know charades, it is a game that you play without saying any
words. One person uses body language,
expressions, and gestures, and everyone guesses what that person i s feeling. For example, Jay, without words, how do you show that you are excited that Shalia is s inging today? Well done.
Charades shows how we can communicate with more than just our words. (to Jay) You can stop being excited now.
Jay: Right.
Kim: Rashid? (Rashid enters) How’s it going, Rashid?
Jay: Rashid is hitting something.
Kim: No, he is telling us he’s fine. Rashid is going to express feelings without words, and, Jay, you and I can guess. Ready?
Jay: Ready. (Rashid smiles)
Kim: You are happy. (Rashid gestures)
Jay: You are pointing at Kim. (Rashid raises an eyebrow) Now you are looking at me. (Rashid shrugs) Now you are shrugging your shoulders.
Kim: No, he’s confused. And I think you are too. In
charades, you need to guess how someone is feeling, not what they are doing.
Jay: Really? But we know how Rashid feels. Look at him.
He is always relaxed. (Rashid frowns.) Ooh, now Rashid is angry at me. (Rashid claps)
Kim: Hey, you got one right!
Jay: And now he is smiling at me. (Rashid walks off set) Jay: (to Rashid) What’s wrong?
Kim: I think he’s a little stressed. Nice job, “Jones Family Charades Champion.” (to camera) When we come back, Shalia! (Jay smiles) Excited?
Jay: Nervous.
City Living – An important rule for traveling Takeshi: OK, let’s begin. In Japan, you bow when you
greet people. Like this. (bows) Claudia: (bows) That’s cool.
Tara: (Tara enters) Hi! What are you two doing?
Claudia: Takeshi is teaching me traditional J apanese greetings for my trip to Japan.
Tara: Your trip to Japan? When?
Claudia: I have a big meeting in Tokyo in July.
Tara: Wow! That’s great.
Claudia: I’m a little nervous about the whole trip, though.
Takeshi: Why? There’s no need to be nervous.
Claudia: I’m kind of worried about making mistakes. I don’t know anything about Japan.
Tara: Don’t worry. Everything’s going to be fine.
89
Takeshi: And you have a good teacher. Let’s see, what else? Oh, remember—always use two hands when you give a person your business card.
Like this. (hands Claudia a business card, she responds)
Tara: (points to Claudia) Hey! That looks really good, Claudia. You’re a natural!
Takeshi: And remember—never use your finger to point. That’s actually rude in a lot of countries.
Tara: Really?
Takeshi: Yep. Oh, and one more thing. In Japan, for luck, you jump three times and nod your head like this.
Claudia: What?
Takeshi: Yeah. Let’s try it, come on. Come on, Claudia, try it.
Claudia: OK. (Claudia starts to jump and nod her head) Takeshi: Good.
Claudia: Like this?
Takeshi: (winks at Tara) Yup. (Tara and Takeshi laugh) Claudia: Hey! They don’t do that i n Japan! You guys are
joking. Oh!
Takeshi: Come on, Claudia! I only wanted to teach you a very important lesson for traveling—relax!
And have a little fun!
Claudia: You’re right. Some teacher you are!
Global Viewpoints – Feelings and emotions Dave: I get stressed very often because of school.
Natalie: Sometimes at the office, I get stressed, and when I do, I take a break and go for a walk.
Dayanne: One of the things that really makes me happy is going to the beach.
Alyssa: I don’t like to feel angry or sad or frustrated. I do like to feel happy and excited. When I’m angry, I like to be alone. I don’t like to be around other people.
Agnes: I don’t like to be angry or stressed, because when I am, I eat all the time. And when I’m angry, I yell at everybody.
Jennifer: When I have stress, I like to take my dog to the park and throw the ball or throw the Frisbee. And that relaxes me.
Global Viewpoints — Greetings around the world Dennis: We have a special way of greeting our elders in
the Philippines by taking their hand and kind of kissing it like this. And it’s called mano.
Dayanne: In Brazil, when you greet a friend, you give them
a big hug. And sometimes you give them a kiss on the cheek. And in some places, you give two kisses, and in some places, three kisses.
Miyuki: Bowing is a very polite gesture in Japan. But I often shock people when I stick my hands out to shake their hands because it’s not very common.
Agnes: When you greet somebody in Senegal, you shake hands for a long time. Or you can hug, too, and ask about him and his family and his friends.
And it takes a while.
Unit 3
Good Morning World – Food for naught
Jay: Hello, we are back! You know, Kim, there are two things that I really don’t like to do: go grocery shopping and spend money.
Kim: Then we have good news for you, Jay. Chef Tony is here today. He tells us how we can use any food we have at home. We can make delicious meals and spend less money at the grocery store. Welcome, Chef Tony!
Chef Tony: Thank you, Kim. I’m glad to be here. You always love to eat my meals! And Jay, you do not.
Jay: I love your meals, Chef Tony! I’m just on a diet.
Kim: OK, Chef Tony, this is all the food from the kitchen area of the Good Morning World studio. What can we make, and what do we need?
Chef Tony: First, we put the food into groups. (hands food to Jay) Apple. Banana. Grapes. Tomato.
Lettuce. Jay!
Jay: Yes, Chef Tony?
Chef Tony: Organic food. Here. Do we have any carrots?
Jay: No, there aren’t any carrots, C hef Tony.
Chef Tony: Hmm. Well, you can make a delicious salad of fruit with the apple, the banana, and the grapes. And you can make a healthy vegetable salad with the tomato and the lettuce. But we need some carrots. Jay! Make a list! Now, healthy food. Let’s see. (hands food to Ki m) Yogurt. Rice. Tofu. You can add the yogurt to
the fruit salad for flavor. Cook the rice and the tofu together with some butter to make sti r fry.
Do we have any onions?
Kim: No, there aren’t any onions, Chef Tony.
Chef Tony: Jay! Onions!
Kim: What else do we need, Chef Tony?
Chef Tony: Nothing. That’s it.
Jay: Only two things? I don’t even need a shopping
90
cart!
Kim: But what about the things here?
Chef Tony: Yes! I almost forgot! Fast food? (drops in the trash)
Rashid: My lunch.
Chef Tony: Junk food. (drops in the trash) Kim: My dinner.
Jay: It’s OK, Kim, Rashid. You can have some of my healthy tofu stir fry. You see, Chef Tony, I do like your meals!
City Living – Do we need anything?
Takeshi: (phone rings) Hello?
Mike: Hi, Takeshi, it’s Mike. I’m at the supermarket getting some milk. Do we need anything?
Takeshi: I don’t know. Let me take a look. Let’s see. Well, we need some fruit and some vegetables, too.
Get some apples and oranges, maybe five or six of each. And get three or four tomatoes and some carrots. Maybe a pound.
Mike: Got it. Hey, the lettuce looks really good. Do we need any?
Takeshi: No, we don’t need any more lettuce. We have three heads. You always buy it and then never make salads.
Mike: OK. Anything else?
Takeshi: Uh . . . we need bread and some eggs.
Mike: We don’t need any eggs. We already have some.
Takeshi: I don’t see any eggs here.
Mike: Trust me. I have a great memory. I think they’re next to the yogurt.
Takeshi: You’re right. We have some.
Mike: See?
Takeshi: I guess that’s it. Hey, how about hamburgers for dinner tonight?
Mike: Ooh, great idea. How many do we need? I’m really hungry. Four?
Takeshi: Nah, that’s too many. Get two.
Mike: OK. Two hamburgers. And how about rice? Do we have any?
Takeshi: We have some, but there isn’t much. Get one more bag, and . . . Are you writing all this down?
Mike: Nah, I’m telling you, I have a great memory.
Remember the eggs?
Takeshi: OK. I guess that’s it. I’ll see you in a few minutes?
Mike: OK! Bye.
Takeshi: (sees Mike’s wallet on the table) Mike. It figures.
(moves towards phone) One… two… three.
(phone rings) Hi, Mike.
Mike: Hi, Takeshi, it’s Mike. I forgot my um . . .
Takeshi: Wallet?
Mike: How did you know? Do you have it?
Takeshi: Yeah, I’m coming right now. (hangs up and heads to door) Great memory, huh? I’m the one with the great memory. I never forget a thing. Never, ever forget a thing.
Global Viewpoints – Grocery shopping
Alyssa: When I go shopping, I buy lots of fruits and vegetables. I’m vegetarian, so I never buy meat.
Miyuki: I buy a lot of meat, a lot of cheese, and grab some eggs. I usually buy some rice, and I try to buy some vegetables as well.
Kevin: I normally buy fruits, vegetables, some deli meats like turkey and ham, orange juice, milk, bread, and maybe a few magazines and some potato chips.
Dayanne: In my refrigerator, I have a bottle of orange juice, a bottle of milk, some bread, and some apples.
Jennifer: I hate grocery shopping. My refrigerator is empty.
Not even ice cubes.
Global Viewpoints – At the mall
Dennis: There’s a big mall in my neighborhood, and in that mall, you can find several stores. Like…
there’s a CD shop, there are clothes stores, a restaurant, and a supermarket where you can get groceries.
Jennifer: In the mall near my neighborhood, there are department stores. There are clothing stores, shoe stores, there is a stationery store, and a bookstore.
Agnes: In Senegal, we don’t have big shopping malls.
We have a lot of little markets and nice little shops. And that’s where I go shopping.
Unit 4
Good Morning World – Kim in flight
Jay: Hello again, everybody! Welcome back. Well, today is a big day on Good Morning World! Kim?
Kim: Yeah, Jay?
Jay: Aren’t you going to tell them?
Kim: Well, uh—
Jay: Kim is going on vacation to Costa Rica, so today is her last day on the show for a week! I am so excited!
For you! I’m excited for you!
Kim: Thanks, everybody. I’m… excited, too.
Jay: What’s wrong, Kim? It’s your vacation!
Kim: Um, it’s just—
91
Jay: Oh, I know. You’re worried that you’re forgetting something. Well, let Jay Jones—world traveler—help you. First, did you get a passport?
Kim: Yes, I have my passport.
Jay: Did you buy a plane ticket?
Kim: Yes, I have my plane ticket.
Jay: And you have to check into your hotel and rent a car, so you need your credit card. Do you have it?
Kim: Yes, I have my credit card.
Jay: Did you remember to pack your suitcase?
Kim: Yes, but it’s not mine.
Jay: No? Whose suitcase is it?
Kim: My sister’s. It belongs to her. I don’t have my own suitcase.
Jay: Really? OK. Well, you need cash, of course, a guidebook for when you go sightseeing, and a camera to take photos.
Kim: Yes, I have those things.
Jay: Then what’s the problem? Ah-ha! You’re worried about the weather! Listen, I know Costa Rica, and it’s beautiful. Clear skies and warm temperatures during the day, but, at night, the light winds from the ocean can make it chilly. I think you should take a sweater.
Kim: Good idea. I will.
Jay: Ahh, Costa Rica! You are going to love it from the moment your plane lands in— (Kim starts crying) Kim!
What’s wrong?
Kim: I hate to fly!!!
Jay: What?!? Flying is easy! Don’t you fly often?
Kim: Yes, but it still scares me!
Jay: Look, flying in a plane is safer than driving a car.
Planes fly great when it’s sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, or foggy. You are going to be fine!
Kim: Really? You’re probably right.
Jay: Of course I am! A plane can even land in very strong winds, and in Costa Rica, it can be very windy! (Kim starts crying again) Oh boy. (to camera) We’ll be right back.
City Living – Another souvenir?
Mike: Roberto, why are you bringing a sweater to Mexico City? It’s summer there, so it’s really hot, right?
Roberto: It’s usually hot in the day, but sometimes at night, it gets chilly.
Mike: Oh. Well, what about the business suit? Isn’t it a vacation?
Roberto: Yes and no. I have a big meeting on Tuesday, so I’m bringing the suit. But after Tuesday, it’s
vacation time!
Mike: Who are all the gifts for?
Roberto: Oh, my family lives in Mexico City, so I’m bringing them some souvenirs from New York.
Mike: And who’s the book for?
Roberto: It’s for Maria, my niece. She’s ten years old.
Mike: Ten? You should get her something more fun—
like a video game!
Roberto: Maria is young, but she loves books. She’s really smart.
Mike: Huh. What about this? Is this hers, too?
Roberto: Oh that? That belongs to my Dad. It’s a souvenir from his New York visit, but he forgot it. Do you think I should get him another present?
Mike: Well, that already belongs to him. Hey, you should get him a New York T-shirt or maybe a Yankees cap?
Roberto: Good idea. I can get that at the airport. That’s it.
Mike: Do you have your plane ticket and passport?
Roberto: Yes. And I have my hotel information, my car rental information. My camera’s in my briefcase.
Mike: (holding a stuffed toy) Hey, whose is this?
Another souvenir?
Roberto: Umm... no. It’s mine.
Mike: It’s yours?
Roberto: It was a good luck present from Claudia. I always travel with it.
Mike: Aww! Don’t be embarrassed. He’s very cute.
(laughing) And I’m sure he makes a great travel partner!
Global Viewpoints – The weather
Jennifer: In my hometown, it’s usually hot and sunny, but sometimes it rains.
Dan: I grew up in central Texas where the weather is very hot. There are a lot of rainstorms, and in the wintertime, it gets into the 40s and 50s.
Dayanne: In Brazil, we basically have two seasons—
summer and winter. In the summer, it’s very, very hot. But in the winter, it’s not so cold. But we do have some rain sometimes.
Alyssa: Where I live, the weather changes throughout the year. There are four season s: summer, fall, winter, and spring. I don’t like the w inter very much because I don’t like to be cold.
Daniel: In Jamaica, it’s pretty warm year-round. There’s a rainy month—September. My favorite season is winter because I like winter sports, which is strange because I’m from Jamaica.
92
Global Viewpoints – What should I do?
Dayanne: When visiting Brazil, you should bring your bathing suit and your sun lotion and definitely visit the beaches in Brazil, because they are beautiful.
Dan: If you come to Texas, you should visit San Antonio, where the Alamo is located, because it’s a historical site.
Jennifer: When you visit Florida you should bring a swimming suit, sunblock, and a beach towel.
You should also bring lots of shorts and T-shirts. And you should visit the Everglades where you can see alligators.
Alejandra: In Argentina, you should visit Iguazu Falls and the glaciers in the south of the country. You should also watch a tango performance. And in a restaurant, you should order Argentine beef. It is delicious!
Unit 5
Good Morning World – Exploring heroes
Kim: We are happy to welcome a very interesting guest to the show this morning. He is a traveler, an explorer, a photographer, a writer, and a father of two sons. Please welcome Blas Kubik to Good Morning World!
Blas: Thank you, Kim and Jay. I’m happy to be here.
Jay: (to Blas) Jay and Kim.
Kim: You are a man of many talents, Mr. Kubik. How do you have time for everything?
Blas: When you love your job, it’s easy to find time.
Kim: Tell us how you became an explorer.
Blas: I was always very curious as a boy. My mother was an ambassador to Brazil. My father was the co-founder of the group Brazilian Green. We traveled a lot. I wanted to learn everything about the places we visited. I explored everywhere, first with my father, and later, on my own.
Kim: Were you born in Brazil?
Blas: No, I wasn’t. I was born in Ecuador. My mother is Ecuadoran and my father was born in Poland. My father was my hero. I admired his work with the rainforests and wanted to show the world their beauty in photographs.
Jay: Is it dangerous to be an explorer and a photographer?
Blas: Sometimes it is dangerous. When I was in Borneo, a Bornean clouded leopard chased me.
She was afraid I was going to take her cubs. I have a picture of it.
Jay: Let’s see it! (picture of leopard appears) Wow!
Blas: Another time, a grizzly bear chased me up a tree. I wasn’t even working! I was on vacation in California with my sons! I have a picture of that, too.
Jay: Show it! Show it! (picture of bear appears) Blas: Those are my feet.
Jay: That… is… incredible.
Blas: Yeah, I know. I’m lucky to be alive.
Jay: You are so… brave.
Blas: Why do you say that?
Jay: Look at those pictures! Nature is dangerous!
Being an explorer is the scariest job in the world!
Blas: Sorry, but I disagree.
Jay: What?!?
Blas: Do you want to know a job that you have to be
Blas: Do you want to know a job that you have to be
