Hello again! Now we're going to watch our story
'That's life!' And this story is about five young people from
different countries, from Canada, from Australia, from Engliand and
from America. Now they meet and become friends and all sorts of
different situations develop over a period of time, and they will
use the language that we are going to learn here, in this live TV
studio. This is where we are going to do out lessons together. So
let's go and join them now, in the first episode of 'That's life!'
and I'll see you later, bye!

Did you see the first part of our story, 'That's
life!? Was it difficult? Don't worry, it's always difficult at the
beginning. Now, let's do our first lesson the verb 'to be'. Listen
to me carefully:
I'm Louise. I'm English, I'm from Cambridge, and
I'm your teacher.
You...
You're my student, and you're here to learn the
English language, and you're very intelligent. I'm
sure.
He...
Let's look he, he... he is my boyfriend, he's
Mexican, he's a jazz musician, and he's very
good-looking.
She... she yes, she is my puppy, she's Zukie,
she's Jack Russell Terrier, and she's lovely. Zukie...
she.
Now, it... yes... it's a hat, it's a big hat,
it's a Japanese hat. OK?
Now, we, we're a team, and we're here to learn
the language together, and you, you're my
student.
They... let's see... they! They are... they're
my CDs, they're music CDs and they're very expensive!
Now, in every lesson that we do together, we
will have a moment like now when I go in this position, and we will
work with a screen. Let's look at that. Now, this is a moment when
we focus on the grammar. So, all the things that I said them, had
the verb 'to be'. So, let's look at the verb 'to be'. Here we are!
I am, you are, he is, she is, it is, we are, you are, and they are.
Now, when we speak in English, we contract the form so that 'I am'
becomes 'I'm, 'you are' becomes 'you're', 'he is' becomes 'he's',
she is ... she's, it is... it's, we are...we're. You are... you're,
they are... they're. Ok? So, they're is quite a difficult
pronunciation...they're...they are... they're. Now, let's look at
the sentences: I'm your teacher, you're my student, he's
good-looking, she's a puppy, it's a Japanese hat, we're a team,
you're interested, and they're very good.
Now, in our story 'That's life!' there were some
phrases using the verb 'to be'. For example, Anne said: I'm Anne,
I'm from Oxford. And then Alice said: you're a capricornus, you're
American. Other examples were: he's from New York, she's really
happy, it's a Mexican hat, it's an African mask, it's really
beautiful, Italy's wonderful, we're flatmates, you're students, and
they're so friendly. OK?
Now, that's the verb 'to be'. Be careful with
the pronunciation you're, we're,
they're.
Now, you're going to see the first episode of
'That's life?' again, but this time listen very carefully and see
if you can recognise all the parts of the verb 'to be'. Alright?
And then I'll see you later, OK? Bye!
