Well,we have been introduce to(too) many new people this week,all of you met a new teacher,Gabe.Even Gabe's been tell us... more about himself.

Yes,that's right.I have been introducing myself,and also we have been introduced to different people in Small Town.Like Sara and Max,her brother.

That's right.We also met Renee who is the(a) waitress at The Diner. Is right her husband's name?

Her husband's name is Simon.That's right?

Yes,It's beena lof of fun meeting our new friends in Small Town.And today we'll meetsome other new people.Let's begin by looking at our key words,pleasesay them with us.Personal...personal...Don't ask someone's age.That's a personal question.

Editor...editor...The editor really likes the story you wrote for the newspaper.

Salesman...salesman...That salesman will try to sell you some new books.Now friends,let's say these key words together again.The first one is:personal...personal...

Editor...editor...

Salesman...salesman...Thank you,everyone!Now let's go see Eddy!

Eddy?!

Yeah...OK.I have a personal question.

You do?

Eh...for you!

For me?

Yes,for you,Gabe.

Oh...

OK.Here it is.Ready,right?

Yes.

Do you like me?

Do...do I like you?

Eh...

Well,Eddy!Of course I like you!You're kind of our cute little cat thing,aren't you?

Yeah...yeah,I'm a mer cat thing.

Yeah,I'm right(win).And I like getting to know you,but right now I wondering if you have the mission for today.

Oh,of course!The mission.Today's mission is:Who is Sara's letter from?

Who is Sara's letter from?

We'll find out today.Let's begin with our look at Small Town.

[Conversation A]

Sara!How are you?How's your boyfriend?

Betty,you know I don't have a boyfriend.

I know,but you will someday.Sorry,I ask too many personal questions.

I don't mind.Guess what?I just started a blog about life in Small Town.

Great!Did you write about me?

Of course!I have to write about our town's psotmistress.

And the editor of our town newspaper!

That's right.

Well,friends.We meet another new person.We meet Betty!Now Gabe,where just Betty work?

Well,Betty works in the post office of Small Town.

We also find out that Betty likes to ask many personal questions.Now what personal question does she ask Sara?

She says:"Sara,how is your boyfriend?"

But,Sara doesn't have a boyfriend.But Betty does ask this personalquestion.Well,let's learn our key word:personal...personal...Ifsomething is personal,that means you don't tell everyone about it.Youjust share personal things with some people who are close to you.

Right.You share these personal things,and then you ask personal questions all meet to people that you are comfortable asking these questions,too.

Now Gabe,can I ask you a personal question?

Eh...OK.Go ahead,Andrea.

How old are you?

Andrea,that is a personal question.You know I don't like talking about my age.

OK,Gabe.I'm sorry.I know that's a personal question,but I just want to give our friends an example of other personal question?

OK,very nice.Well, how old are you?

Well,Gabe,that's a personal question.I'm not going to answer that in front other everyone.

OK,good idea!

All right.Now another good idea is to learn our next key word.Itis:editor...editor...Now an editor is someone who works on books or ata newspaper,they checked to make sure all the words there correct before the book or the newspaper goes to people.

That's right.They're can being editor for a book or editor for a newspaper,or even for magazines or movies.Thess are the people that work on these things.

And we find out that Betty is the editor of the newspaper.Well,let's find out more from Thomas.

[Conversation B]

Did I get any mail today?

I don't know.I'm just starting to put out the mail.Look!Here's a letter for Max.It's from Rose Parker.I wonder who she is.

I don't know!

I'll ask him when he comes in.

Good idea.

Here's a letter for you!It's from your parents.

Great!

Everybody,this is exciting we have just foud the answer to today'smission right here,and the mission is:Who is Sara's letter from?

Who is Sara's letter from?Sara's letter is from her parents.

It's from her parents!That must be nice to get a letter from yourparents.Andrea,do you like getting packges and letters in the mail?

Yes,I do,Gabe.I always get excited whenever I get mail.

That's great.So do I.And mail of course is the way that things are sent from one address to another.It sends in the mail.

And some people have to go to the post office to get their mail.That's why Sara goes to see Betty at the post office.

Sara's at the post office,and Betty says that there is a letter for Max and it's from Rose Parker.Wait...Andrea,is that a kind of personal to be looking at someone's elses mail?

Yes,Gabe,you're right.It is personal.But we know that Betty just wantsto know these things,so she is wondering.She wants to know who RoseParker is.

Well,you know what I'm wondering?I'm wondering what Thomas is going to tell us about right now.So let's go see him.
