Sure! Here’s your text with the requested changes:
Hello everyone,
Welcome to Lets Talk in English. My name is Esther,
and my name is Garrett.
Are you ready for today’s story?
Our story is called 《小紅母雞》. Maybe you know the story
and heard the story when you were young.
It’s about a little red female chicken. Yeah,
a hen is a female chicken, but not a baby one—a grown-up one.
This grown-up red hen is the main character in our story,
but there will be other animals in this story as well. Yeah,
sometimes in stories,
animals can talk and behave kind of like people. Of course,
that doesn’t happen in real life,
but we can learn a lot about ourselves from these stories.
Stories usually
have a problem or something
they want to find out or solve. So in this story,
the little red hen wants to do something as well.
That’s right, and friends,
we need to do something.
We need to find the answer to our "find it" question:
What did the hen do after she planted the wheat?
Listen carefully to find the answer now.
Here is Sonya with our keywords.
從前有一隻紅色的小母雞，
它住在農場裡。
Once upon a time,
a little red hen lived on the farm。名詞hen是母雞
而名詞farm就是農場。
小母雞有三個朋友，
分別是大胖狗、愛困貓和懶惰豬。
有一天，小母雞在地上捡到一些小麥的種子。
它問朋友，誰要幫我種麥子？
"Who will help me plant this wheat?"
動詞plant就是種植。
結果，它的朋友都不要幫忙。
於是小母雞只好自己種、
自己浇水、
自己锄草，
而麥子長呀長的，
到了秋天就長得高高的，
變成了金黃色。
When fall came,
the wheat was tall and golden。形容詞golden就是金黃色的。
這時候，小母雞又對朋友們說，
"你們想吃新鮮面包嗎？
想的话就來幫我割麥子吧。"
"Then come and help me cut this wheat."
動詞cut就是割、剪切。你猜朋友們願意幫忙嗎？
The little red hen—a story about fairness: no work, no reward.
Once upon a time,
a little red hen lived on a farm. She was friends with a fat dog,
a sleepy cat,
and a lazy pig. The little red hen was a hard worker;
she was always busy doing something. The dog,
the cat, and the pig didn’t do anything
but sleep in the warm sun. One day,
the hen was looking for food on the ground.
She found some grains of wheat.
Stories often begin with "Once upon a time,"
and that is how our story starts as well.
Yes, it does. We are introduced to the little red hen.
The little red hen lived on a farm;
a farm is a place where maybe vegetables or fruits are grown
or animals are raised. On a farm, you’ll find many farm
animals like cows and pigs, but you might
also find animals like dogs and cats.
And on this farm, this hen was friends with a fat dog,
a sleepy cat,
and a lazy pig. None of those are really good adjectives;
that’s kind of silly. Well,
this hen was friends with all of these animals.
Let’s go to Sonya for more on that.
今天來講一個勤勞的小紅母雞的故事，
她的朋友有一隻大胖狗、一隻愛困貓和一隻懶豬。
She was friends with a fat dog,
a sleepy cat, and a lazy pig。身為某些人的朋友，就是be friends with。
留意friends在這裡要用複數哦。
來看例句：
Mark is friends with many girls in his class。
Mark是他班上很多女孩的朋友。
或是她是街上那對老夫婦的朋友。
再一句：
Who is Simon friends with?
Simon交了哪些朋友？
Thank you, Sonya.
So we learned a little about the other animals,
and it sounds like the little red hen is kind of the opposite.
The little red hen was a hard worker,
right? If you are a hard worker,
you’re not lazy, and I’m sure she’s not sleeping around all day.
No, she was always busy doing something. The dog,
the cat, and the pig didn’t do anything but sleep in the warm sun.
So this is the life of the little red hen; she is a hard worker
while her friends are lazy and sleepy. Well,
one day, the hen was looking for food on the ground. Of course,
all animals need to eat, and the hen found some grains of wheat.
Some grains of wheat.
A grain of wheat is very, very small;
it is like a seed.
You can plant a grain of wheat to grow wheat.
From wheat, we can make all kinds of things like bread,
noodles, and other things.
Let’s go to the next part of our story to find out what happens.
The hen cried out,
"Who will help me plant this wheat?
Later, we can have fresh bread to eat!"
"Not I," said the dog.
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Then I will do it myself," said the hen.
So the little red hen planted the wheat. She watered
it well, watched it grow, and pulled the weeds.
She did all of these things all alone.
The other animals didn’t want to help her.
The little red hen wants to plant the wheat seeds that she found.
She asks, "Who will help me plant the seeds?" Of course,
once that wheat grows up,
it is a plant,
but "plant" is also an action;
it’s when you put one of those seeds in the ground
so that it can grow up.
And she knows that
once she plants the wheat, after the wheat grows up,
she will be able to make fresh bread, right?
But she wants some help with planting.
But we hear from these animals first.
The dog says, "Not I."
He doesn’t want to help, and the cat and the pig also say, "Not I."
So the hen says, "Then I will do it myself."
She will be the only one planting this wheat, right?
So she did plant the wheat, and hopefully,
we did find the answer to our
find it question: What did the hen do
after she planted the wheat?
She watered
it well, watched it grow, and pulled the weeds. Remember this:
The little red hen works hard. If you want to grow a plant,
you have to keep watering.
And she also pulled the weeds—the plants
that should not be near her wheat plant—away. Yeah,
weeds are just plants that we don’t want.
If you want to grow flowers or anything else,
you might need to pull some weeds.
The hen did all of these things all alone. If you do something
all alone,
it means you do it by yourself; no one else helped her,
and they didn’t want to help her.
They were lazy and sleepy, right?
But will they still get to eat some of that bread? We’ll find out
as our story continues. First,
we need to take a quick break. We’ll be right back.
昨天領略十個新聞，每天
每一天，這就是方式。
在英語中，我們可以用很多詞來形容人或動物。
你記得我們用來形容小母雞的詞是什麼嗎？
嗯，小母雞是勤勞的。那狗呢？
嗯，狗是胖的，貓呢？
嗯，貓是愛困的，豬是懶惰的。
讓我們看看我們的勤勞小母雞發生了什麼事。
小麥長呀長的，
當秋天來臨時，
小麥高高的、金黃色的。
小母雞叫其他動物，
"你們想吃新鮮麵包嗎？
那就來幫我割這些小麥吧！"
"Not I," said the dog.
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Then I will do it myself," said the hen.
So the hen cut the wheat by herself.
Now our whole故事是用過去式寫的，
這意味著
我們在告訴你一些已經發生的事情。
所以當我們談論這些小麥的生長時，
我們使用了grow這個動詞的過去式，即grew。
我們聽到小麥長呀長的，所以它一直在生長。
讓我們去Sonya那裡了解更多的過去式動詞，
就像這個一樣。
小麥不斷地長大。
The wheat grew and grew。動詞grow表示成長，
長大的意思。
它的過去式是不規則的變化：
grow grew。
類似的不規則變化動詞還有throw，
throw是丟的意思。
再看一個例句：
"She grew two centimeters last year."
她去年長高了兩公分。
或者"Sam threw the baseball to his brother."
Sam把棒球丟給了他的弟弟。
再看一句：
"I knew he was going to win."
我就知道他會贏。
Thanks, Sonya. Well,
our story continues. We hear that when fall came,
the wheat was tall and golden.
Yes, do you find the word "gold" in the word "golden"?
We are talking about the color of the wheat; the wheat is tall
and it has a gold color
because it is ready to be harvested.
If you want to describe something that has a gold color,
you can call it "golden," or you can call it "gold."
Either way is just fine. So now,
the hen is ready to make her bread. She called the other animals
and asked them,
"Do you want some fresh bread to eat?"
Well, they can come and get some,
but they need to do something.
The hen says, "Then come and help me cut this wheat," right?
If you cut something,
then you’re going to use scissors or a knife
or another tool to separate it.
How are these animals going to cut,
though? Well,
either way, they all say "Not I." They will not help cut the wheat.
The dog, the cat, and the pig will not help the little hen.
Then she says, "Then I will do it myself."
"I will do it myself" is also today’s calendar.
I will do it myself.
我會自己做。
I can’t make toast for you;
I will do it myself.
I can’t cook eggs for you;
I will do it myself.
I can’t fry bacon for you;
I will do it myself.
Great!
When can we eat?
You can’t; I will eat it myself.
So none of the animals are helping to cut the wheat,
which means the hen is going to do it by herself. Yes,
she’s all alone as she cuts the wheat.
Let’s keep finding out what happens to the story tomorrow,
but first,
let’s review our key words. Here’s your first keyword for today:
"hen"
"hen," do you get many eggs from your hens?
"farm"
"farm," what animals live on your farm?
"plant"
"plant," help me plant these flowers.
"golden"
"golden," the sun is a beautiful golden color.
"cut"
"cut," she cut some flowers in the garden.
Well, friends, those are your keywords for today.
Keep on practicing them, and now
it’s your turn!
The words for today are "hens," "farm," "plant," "golden," and "cut." Now
it’s your turn to use them in a sentence. First,
"Corn grows on this..."
Good job! Corn grows on this farm. Next,
"Leaves in fall are a color..."
You got it! Leaves in fall
are a golden color. Next,
"It’s time to..."
Correct! It’s time to cut the grass. Next,
"The farmer has many..."
You’re right! The farmer has many hens.
Last one:
"What did she... in her garden?"
Good job! What did she plant in her garden?
Friends, did you have
a good time? I did! Join me again for your turn.
The little red hen—a story about fairness: no work, no reward.
Once upon a time,
a little red hen lived on a farm. She was friends with a fat dog,
a sleepy cat,
and a lazy pig. The little red hen was a hard worker;
she was always busy doing something. The dog,
the cat,
and the pig didn’t do anything but sleep in the warm sun. One day,
the hen was looking for food on the ground.
She found some grains of wheat.
The hen cried out, "Who will help me plant this wheat?"
"Not I," said the dog.
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Then I will do it myself," said the hen. So the little red hen planted the wheat;
she watered it well,
watched it grow, and pulled the weeds.
She did all of these things all alone.
The other animals didn’t want to help her. The wheat grew
and grew. When fall came,
the wheat was tall and golden.
The hen called to the other animals,
"Do you want some fresh bread to eat?
Then come and help me cut this wheat!"
"Not I," said the dog.
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Then I will do it myself," said the hen.
So the hen cut the wheat by herself.
Today we’re talking about the little red hen.
I know that story! The little red hen was a hard worker.
Yes,
but she had some lazy friends that didn’t do anything—a lazy dog,
woof woof, a cat, meow,
and a lazy pig,
oink oink oink.
Haha! One day, the hen found some grains of wheat.
"Who will help me plant these grains?" she asked.
"Not I," said the dog.
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Then I’ll do it myself," said the hen.
So she planted the wheat and watered it and pulled the weeds.
She did all that alone.
The others didn’t help at all. In fall,
she cut the wheat herself too. Oh!
The little red hen worked like crazy, but her friends were lazy—
lazy, lazy.
Well, well,
well, hello Grandpa!
Well, well,
well! Hee hee!
Hello Maria! Guess what? I have something for you.
Really?
What?
Some questions! Ha ha!
And I have something for you—answers!
Oh great! Here’s the first question:
What was the hen doing when she found the grains of wheat?
Oh, I know!
She was looking for food.
Yes, that is correct! Finally! Now,
here’s another question: I’m listening. Are you a hard worker?
Oh yes!
I work very hard, and I never give up. I answer
every question. Do you always get the right answer?
Of course, because I remember everything!
Today we learned sentences that start with "one day"
was or were. Let’s give you some examples.
Great idea! If we use that pattern, "one day"
means that there was one day at some point.
We might say, "One day, Tammy was thinking about going for a walk,"
or we can say, "One day, they were taking a drive in the countryside." Friends,
do you think you can make a sentence about what happened one day in your life?
Then write it down. Think about our story;
think about writing "one day" about the story as well.
"One day, a hen was looking for food,"
or "One day, there were three lazy animals."
One day,
the hen wanted to cut her wheat. Well,
friends, we will finish our story tomorrow.
We hope you’ll join us then right here on
Let’s Talk in English. Goodbye!

Everyone, welcome to Let’s Talk in English! My name is Garrett, and my name is Esther. Today, we continue day two of our story. That’s right! Do you remember what the title of the story is? That’s right, it’s called "The Little Red Hen." Yes, we are talking about a red female chicken. She is the main character in our story, and she lives on a farm with her friends.
But what describes this little red hen? Do you remember? This little red hen is hardworking; she is always doing things while her friends are not. They are lazy and sleepy—her friends: the dog, the cat, and the pig. Yesterday, we heard that the little red hen planted some grains of wheat. Wheat is a plant that you can make lots of things from. We heard that the little red hen wants to make fresh bread, but there are a lot of steps before you can eat.
We heard that the wheat grew and grew; it was tall and golden. Now it is time for her to cut the wheat, and it’s time for us to tell you our Find It question: What did the hen do with the dough? Listen carefully to find the answer now. Here’s Sonya with our keywords:
小母雞自己種麥子，收割麥子之後，很快就收穫了一大堆的穀粒。Soon, she had a pile of grains of wheat. 名詞"pile"就是一堆一。她需要把穀粒送去磨成粉，但朋友們還是不肯幫忙。麥子磨成了面粉之後，小母雞要來烤面包囉！這次還是同樣，她只能自己動手，把面粉和其他食材混合好，做成面團。
She mixed the flour with other things and made dough. 動詞"mix"就是混合。然後把面團放進烤盤裡，再放到烤爐裡去烤。Then she put it in pans and put it in the oven. 名詞"pan"就是烤盤。很快地，空氣中就充滿了烤面包的香氣。Soon, the delicious smell of bread baking filled the air. 名詞"smell"就是氣味。
這下子，小母雞的朋友們都想來吃面包了。小母雞說，你們三個什麼都沒做。You three did nothing. 代名詞"nothing"就是什麼事情、什麼東西都沒有，所以就沒得吃了。After the hen cut the wheat, she jumped on it to get the grain. Soon, she had a pile of grains of wheat. Then she asked, "Who will help take this wheat to the mill to grind?"
"Not I," said the dog. "Not I," said the cat. "Not I," said the pig. "Then I will do it myself," said the little red hen. She put the grains of wheat in a bag and took it to the mill.
Well, we hear that the little red hen cuts the wheat by herself, and then she jumps on it to get the grain. Yes, that is important! You need to get those little grains out of the wheat; it’s a lot of work. We find out that she soon has a pile of grains of wheat. A pile of something is like a stack. You can think of a pile as putting things one on top of another. You might have a pile of leaves or a pile of papers on your desk, or you might need to throw away a pile of trash. Now here we heard the word soon. Soon means not long later.
Sonia, can you help us? 小母雞把小麥割下來之後，它在小麥上跳來跳去，取出麥粒。很快的它就得到一堆麥粒。副詞"soon"指不久或很快，可以放在句首、句中或句尾來看。例如，在句首"soon after the talk, I made a new decision." 在那次談話之後不久，我做了新的決定。在句中"We’ll soon find out the answers." 我們很快會找到答案。再一句"I’ll see you again soon." 我很快就會再次見到你。
Thank you, Sonia! Now, she can’t make the bread just yet. She needs to take this wheat that she jumped on to the mill to grind. A mill is a place where they grind wheat. Remember that word "grind"? It means to smash up something until it’s like a powder. She asks her friends to help, but they all say, "Not I" again. Not I; I will not do that. Man, these friends sure are lazy! So once again, the little red hen does it by herself. She puts the grains of wheat in a bag and takes it to the mill. Wow! No chickens could be that strong. That’s an impressive hen; she sure is hardworking. She jumped on the wheat by herself, and she is taking it all to the mill by herself.
Well, hopefully, she’ll get to enjoy some fantastic bread at the end of this. Now, it’s time for us to continue to Part 2. After the mill ground the wheat into flour, the hen brought it home. When she returned to the farm, she asked, "Who will help me bake the bread?"
"Not I," said the dog. "Not I," said the cat. "Not I," said the pig. "Then I will bake the bread myself," said the hen. She mixed the flour with other things and made dough. Then she put it in pans and put it in the oven. Now at this mill, the people or the animals working there help the little red hen grind her wheat into flour.
Yeah, and I want to mention one word here: it’s the word "windmill." Did you ever wonder what those were for? Yes, they’re a kind of mill; they can grind wheat into flour. That is very interesting. Garrett used to live in the Netherlands. Is that why you know? Yep, they have lots of them there. But they didn’t have chickens that returned to the farm and asked, "Who will help me bake the bread?"
So the little red hen is ready; she has her flour, and she wants to bake the bread. But sadly, her friends, the dog, the cat, and the pig, all say "Not I" once again. They will not help, so the hen is going to bake the bread herself. Yes, and when you bake bread, you need to mix the flour with other things. If you mix, you mean you take different things and keep moving them around until they are all together. You take flour, water, and some other things to make what is called dough. Bread dough is like bread that hasn’t been cooked yet. You shouldn’t eat it, right?
And did you find the answer to our Find It question? Our question is, "What did the hen do with the dough?" She put it in pans and put it in the oven. It’s ready to bake, right? When you bake something in the oven, you need to put it in a container; this is called a pan. Yeah, you might use a pan in the oven or you might use a pan on a stove. You know that area that might have fire under it that helps you cook.
Well, we are going to find out what happens, but first, it is time for us to take a break. Don’t go away; we will be right back. Let’s talk in English every day, every day. That’s the way!
Welcome back, friends! Have you ever made bread? When you make bread, you need to find the right pan for the right dough. That’s right, and it’s not easy because bread has something in it called yeast, usually, and it’s something that’s kind of alive. It’s like bacteria, and you don’t want to harm it, right? It takes time for the yeast to rise so that the bread will have that taste that you get.
Let’s continue to the next part of today’s story. Soon, the delicious smell of bread baking filled the air. When the hen took the bread out from the oven, she asked, "Who will help me eat this bread?"
"I will," said the dog. "I will," said the cat. "I will," said the pig. "No, you will not," said the hen. "You three did nothing. You didn’t help plant or cut the wheat. You didn’t help take it to the mill or bake the bread. I will eat this bread myself." And she did!
When you bake bread, you can smell it, and this is what happens. We hear that soon the delicious smell of bread baking filled the air. That smell will be felt in your nose. Sometimes things smell good, like fresh bread; sometimes things smell bad, like trash, right? We talk about our sense of smell when you eat with your mouth; that’s called your sense of taste. I wonder if this bread will taste good as well.
Well, the hen took the bread out from the oven, and who will help me eat this bread? "Not I!" Oh wait, that’s not what they said. Right? Remember all her friends: the dog, the cat, and the pig? They all said "Not I" when she wanted them to help her. But this time, they say something different—they all say, "I will!" They want to help eat this bread. They’re hungry.
But I like what the little red hen says. She says, "No, you will not!"
Today’s calendar phrase:
No, you will not!
不，你不會。 I will eat this toast!
No, you will not!
I will eat this fish!
No, you will not!
I will eat this chicken!
No, you will not!
Why not?
You didn’t help make it, and you won’t help eat it!
No, no, no!
Why will she not share her bread with her friends? Because they did not help at all when she needed help! Yeah, those three friends didn’t do anything to make the bread, so why should they get a reward? We heard the little red hen use the phrase "you three" here. The number three is talking about her friends, but we can use "you" plus other words like "guys" or "gals" to talk about people. Sonia, can you help us explain this? 小母雞說，你們三個什麼也沒做。You three did nothing. 句中"you three"指的是你們三個。通常出現在生活對話中，較為隨性非正式的說法。來看例句"You four need to be quiet." 你們四個需要安靜一點。或是"Can you two carry these packages for me?" 你們兩個可以幫我搬這些包裹嗎？再一句"What are you three doing?" 你們三個在做什麼？
Thank you, Sonia! Yes, her friends did nothing. They did not help at all, and that word "nothing" kind of sounds like "not a thing." They did not do one thing to help make the bread. They didn’t help plant or cut the wheat, and they did not take it to the mill or bake the bread. That’s why she will eat the bread by herself.
But friends, we should do something together! We should review our keywords. Here is our first keyword: "pile."
"Pile"—Is that your pile of clothes?
"Mix."
"Mix"—Mix the flour and water together.
"Pan."
"Pan"—Put some water in this pan.
"Smell."
"Smell"—What is that terrible smell?
"Nothing."
"Nothing"—Nothing was left after dinner.
Friends, those are today’s keywords. You’re doing a great job! Now it’s your turn. The keywords for today are "pile," "mix," "pan," "smell," and "nothing." Now it’s your turn to use them in a sentence.
First one: "You can cook the meat in this..."
Good job! "You can cook the meat in this pan."
"She loves the..."
Good job! "She loves the smell of roses."
"Next, put this book on the..."
Correct! "Put this book on the pile."
"Next, what did he..."
What did he mix with the fruit?
You’re right again! "What did he mix with the fruit?"
Last one: "They spent the day doing..."
You got it! "They spent the day doing nothing."
But I know you didn’t spend the day doing nothing because you joined me here.
Your turn!
After the hen cut the wheat, she jumped on it to get the grain. Soon, she had a pile of grains of wheat. Then she asked, "Who will help take this wheat to the mill to grind?"
"Not I," said the dog.
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Then I will do it myself," said the little red hen.
She put the grains of wheat in a bag and took it to the mill. After the mill ground the wheat into flour, the hen brought it home. When she returned to the farm, she asked, "Who will help me bake the bread?"
"Not I," said the dog.
"Not I," said the cat.
"Not I," said the pig.
"Then I will bake the bread myself," said the hen.
She mixed the flour with other things and made dough. Then she put it in pans and put it in the oven. Soon, the delicious smell of bread baking filled the air. When the hen took the bread out from the oven, she asked, "Who will help me eat this bread?"
"I will," said the dog.
"I will," said the cat.
"I will," said the pig.
"No, you will not," said the hen. "You three did nothing. You didn’t help plant or cut the wheat. You didn’t help take it to the mill or bake the bread. I will eat this bread myself." And she did!
Oh, that little red hen was a very hard worker, but her friends were not.
"Who will help her take wheat to the mill?" she asked.
"Not I," "Not I," "Not I," said her lazy friends.
So the little red hen did it herself.
"Who will help me bake the bread?"
"Not I," "Not I," "Not I," said her friends.
Finally, the bread was ready!
"Who will help me eat the bread?" she asked.
"Me! Me!" said her friends.
"No, you will not," the hen told them. "You didn’t help me make it, and you won’t help eat it! Ha ha! I’ll eat it myself," she said. And she did.
Hi everyone! Welcome to Fun Time!
Today, we have a special guest: the little red hen! Walk, walk, walk! Hello!
Hey, you’re not the little red hen!
You’re right! I’m not little, and I’m not red. But I know the story, and I know a lot about chickens, especially hens.
Oh, hens are female chickens, right?
Yes! Hens lay eggs.
What are male chickens called?
Roosters!
That’s right! And the baby chickens are called chicks.
And before that, they’re called eggs!
Very funny! Speaking of funny,
which side of the chicken has the most feathers? Hmm, is it the right side or the left side?
I don’t know.
The outside!
Hey, do you know where chickens live?
Yes! They live in special barns called a chicken coop雞籠.
Chicken coop! Oh yeah! That reminds me of an English idiom.
I know that idiom: "fly the coop!"
逃走，逃離；換工作，跳槽，越獄
Yeah! When someone flies the coop, they escape; they get away from something. They leave!
Interesting!
Hey, it’s time for us to fly the coop!
Oh, you’re right! Time to fly the coop! Goodbye, everyone!
Goodbye!
Friends, did you enjoy this story? What can we learn from it?
Well, we can learn that of course, if the chicken did all of this herself, she can choose whether or not to share the bread.
Yes, she worked hard! She did everything by herself. I liked the sentence she kept saying: "Then I will do it myself!"
Right! Sometimes you do have to do things yourself. And sometimes people will give you gifts out of kindness. But often, if you want something good, you have to work hard yourself!
Right! Whether it’s studying English, studying math, or going for that job you want, you need to do it by yourself.
Well, friends, join us again tomorrow right here on Let’s Talk in English. Goodbye!
