Lesson 1

Unit 6; Lesson 1; Unit introduction; Screen 1


Teacher welcome
[Teacher Ana facing the camera]
Teacher Ana: Hey! And welcome back! Good to see you. Let’s start Unit 6. It’s called “Zoom in,
zoom out.” In this unit, we talk about cities and nature. Where do you live? Do you live in a city?
Or do you live near nature?
In Lesson 1, you talk about places you can go to in cities, like restaurants. You also learn to use
There’s, There are and a lot of, some, and no.
In Lesson 2, you learn some nature words and you learn about count and non-count nouns.
In Lesson 3, you ask for and give directions – how to find a place. You also learn to check
information – to check that you understand what someone says.
In Lesson 4, you write a fact sheet about a place in nature. What’s your favorite place in nature?
Mine is the beach!
Then, you review everything from the unit.

Grammar story: Tuesday afternoon
[An animated video with human characters]
Narrator: [video title] There is, There are – “Tuesday afternoon”
[An elderly couple sit outside of their house. They are near the ocean. It is early afternoon. They
are talking about what to do for the next few hours. The woman smiles and knits a scarf, but the
man is bored. He wants to go out.]
Jack: [sits up in his chair and yawns] This is boring… I want to go to the museum. [A thought
bubble appears of them at the museum, next to a model of T-Rex. Jack looks happy, and
Maggie looks scared, but then she laughs. The thought bubble disappears.] There's a bus in ten
minutes. What do you think, Maggie?
Maggie: Well, maybe. [She's not sure.] There are always interesting things at the museum, but
it's lunchtime, and I'm hungry. [She keeps knitting. The scarf gets longer.]
Jack: [Jack sits back, thinking. He has another idea.] Well, OK, the mall, then. There are some
good restaurants at the mall. [A thought bubble appears of Jack and Maggie at the mall, eating
hamburgers. They're both smiling.]
Maggie: [frowns] Jack, there are no good restaurants at the mall. There is a hamburger place –
you love it, and I hate it! [In the thought bubble, Maggie looks angrily at her burger and fries and
pushes them away. The thought bubble disappears.] [She keeps knitting. The scarf gets even
longer.]
Jack: [Sits back again before he suggests another idea.] Well, OK, but there's a movie theater
at the mall. [A thought bubble appears of Jack and Maggie at the movies, eating popcorn.
They're both smiling.] There are a lot of movies right now.
Maggie: But there are no good movies. [In the thought bubble, Maggie frowns. The thought
bubble disappears.] I know! Let's go to a park. [A thought bubble appears of Jack and Maggie at
the park, in a little boat on a lake. They're both smiling.]
Jack: [groans] Ufff. ... There are no good parks in this neighborhood. [The boat in the lake
sinks, and then the thought bubble disappears.]
Maggie: OK, what about the beach? It's lovely near the ocean and there's an art gallery next to
the beach. [A thought bubble pops up of Maggie at an art gallery, looking at a painting and
smiling.] I love art galleries! [She keeps knitting. The scarf is now very long.]
Jack: [Sitting back in his chair, frowning.] You love them, but I don't. [The thought bubble
disappears.] They're so boring! And, I'm hungry, too – there's no café at the beach. And why
walk to the beach? There's the ocean right there! [Frustrated, Jack points to the ocean.]
Maggie: [Sighs happily as some birds fly through the sky.] It is beautiful. [She is still knitting her
scarf. It's really very long now.]
Jack: Yes, it is. [He relaxes.]

about Antarctica!
[Antarctic research station with some small red buildings and a few people in front of them]

vehicle] But there is snow and ice ... a lot of snow and ice! [a group of penguins] There are also

bookstore next to it. "East Side Books."
Noemi: Great. [stops a man wearing earbuds] Excuse me?
Man: [taking out an earbud] Yeah?
