Here’s the corrected version of your text with proper English grammar and the Simplified Chinese changed to Traditional Chinese:
Hello everyone,
Welcome to "Let’s Talk in English." My name is Garrett,
and my name is Esther. Today, we have a language lesson. Yes,
we do! Our title is "I Can Make It."
I can make it, friends!
Today in our language lesson, we will learn lots of different phrases,
all using one word thats the same. That’s the word "make." Yes,
make (M-A-K-E). If you make something, it means that you do something or create something.
You can even make something with your hands.
It’s like youre putting it together from different parts,
but that’s just one meaning of that word.
When we put it together with other words,
there are new meanings, right?
And there are many new phrases. We call these verb phrases.
Let’s learn more about them in today’s reading.
When someone makes your day,
they do something that makes you happy. When you make the most of something,
you get as much good out of it as you can. When you make do,
you use what you have.
It is not perfect,
but you do the best you can with it. When you make it,
you do something that you had planned to do.
And when you make good on something,
you do what you promised to do. Thanks,
Garrett!
Friends,
Did you hear all those phrases with the word "make"?
We’re going to talk more about them later.
Now it’s time for our "Find It" question. Our question is:
What does Sarah want James to do?
What does Sarah want James to do?
Well, friends, we will find the answer today
and try to learn all of these "make" phrases.
I think we all can make it! Yes,
you can make it now.
Let’s go to Sonya, who will teach us today’s keywords.
Sarah在寫一篇報導，可是公司的網絡有問題。 James建議她暫時用手機上網來找資料。
"You can make do with your phone for now."
慣用語"make do"就是將就。
Sarah覺得這個主意不錯，她說，如果今天下午可以寫完的話，我會真的很開心。
"It will really make my day if I can finish this report this afternoon."
慣用語"make someones day"就是使某人高興。
因為Sarah答應了老闆今天要做完，所以她希望可以信守承諾。
"I’d like to make good on that promise."
慣用語"make good on something"就是履行某事。
雖然快到下班時間了，但Sarah說她會善用剩下的時間。
"I’ll make the most of the time that I have."
慣用語"make the most of"就是充分利用。
Sarah覺得，如果能專心地做，應該可以及時完成。
"I think I can just make it if I can focus."
慣用語"make it"就是完成目標。
Oh, great! What’s wrong, Sarah?
"The internet isn’t working. How am I going to finish this report?"
"You can make do with your phone for now.
You can get information and send emails that way, okay?"
"Good idea! It will really make my day if I can finish this report
this afternoon."
"Why? You have until Monday afternoon."
"I promised the boss I’d finish it
today. I’d like to make good on that promise."
Haha, so here, if you were just reading
Sarah’s first sentence here from our magazine,
you might not know what she means. It looks like
it says "oh great,"
but that’s not how she says it. It’s more like, "Oh, great."
Right? When you talk like that,
when you have that tone of voice or how high or low your voice is,
it doesn’t mean that it’s something good.
It means that you’re not very happy, youre a little upset.
This is a way of talking that many people
in the US use.
It’s called sarcasm. That means you’re saying something,
but you don’t mean it that way.
She does not mean things are great.
They are very not great.
And James knows that,
so he asks, "What’s wrong?"
James is a good friend and co-worker.
He cares about how Sarah is feeling.
Well, Sarah is not doing great because the internet isn’t working,
but you know what is? It’s today’s calendar phrase:
"The internet isn’t working."
The internet isn’t working!
網絡有問題！
The internet isn’t working!
We can’t play computer games; the internet isn’t working.
We can’t post things online; the internet isn’t working.
We can’t watch movies; the internet isn’t working.
We can’t do homework;
yay, the internet isn’t working!
The internet isn’t working!
網絡有問題！
So it sounds like Sarah needed the internet to finish a report, but it’s not working.
So James tells her
that she can just make do with her phone.
If you make do with something in need,
you use what you can or do what you can. Maybe
it’s not what you wish you had,
but you have to make do. So,
James says, "You can get information
and send emails that way by using your phone, right?"
She can still type on the computer
but get the information on her phone. Sarah says
that’s a good idea,
and she says that it will make my day
if she finishes the report
this afternoon.
Did you hear another phrase with the word
"make"? "Make someone’s day!"
If something makes your day,
it makes your whole day happy.
It makes your whole day good, all because of that one thing, right?
When my friend gives me a cinnamon bun, I tell her, "Wow,
you made my day!"
Let’s go to Sonya now. Sarah
說如果能夠在今天下午完成這份報告，
我會非常開心。
"It will really make my day if I can finish this report
this afternoon."
連接詞"if"是"如果，假如"的意思。
句型"It will" + 動詞 + "if" + 主詞 + 動詞，
表達將來可能會實現的意思。
來看例句："It will ruin my day if I don’t get the job."
如果我得不到這份工作，我的一天就毀了；
或是 "It will be great if I can get a day off tomorrow."
如果我明天可以休假，那就太好了。
再一句，
"It will be a success if I can get them to like my idea."
如果我可以讓他們喜歡我的點子，那就成功了。
Thank you, Sonya! Well,
even though Sarah has until Monday afternoon for this report,
she promised the boss that she would finish it today,
and she tells us that she’d like to make good on that promise.
If you make good on a promise,
you do it—you fulfill that promise or do what you said
you would do. Now it’s time for a break. Don’t go away!
We will be right back.
Talking English,
that’s the way!
Welcome back to the show, everyone.
I think one of our phrases
so far is really one that I like a lot,
and that’s to make do with what you have.
Sometimes we don’t have all the money
or the time in the world to do what we want,
but we need to make do, right?
We just try our best,
use what we have, and that’s what matters! Yes,
it is. Well, friends,
let’s continue and watch the rest of our conversation.
Do you really think that you can?
We only have one more hour of work.
"I’ll make the most of the time that I have."
"You’ll need to work really fast though."
And James,
"I’ll never finish this if you keep talking to me."
"Oh, sorry, I’ll stop talking. Thank you!"
"I think I can just make it if I can focus."
Great!
Do your best,
and I’ll be quiet now.
Hmm, well, it sounds like James is not terribly confident, right?
James isn’t really sure that Sarah can finish the report because they only have one more hour of work—that’s 60 minutes. That’s not a lot of time to finish a big report.
But Sarah says she will make the most of the time that she has.
When you make the most of something, it means that you do something to the best of your ability. You try your best. It’s kind of like that phrase “make do,” but here we say "make the most of something." You might make the most of your time or make the most of an opportunity you’re given, right?
And James reminds her that she will need to work really fast. He adds a word, though.
Sonya, can you help us explain what this means?
James 說：“你的動作還是必須要非常快。”
"You need to work really fast though."
In spoken language, "though" can be used as an adverb at the end of a sentence to mean "still" or "nevertheless."
Let’s look at an example:
A: "She will do her best to answer all the questions correctly."
B: "She might get some wrong though."
Here’s another example:
A: "They’ve been training for months."
B: "It’s still possible they don’t win though."
Thank you, Sonya.
Friends, did you find the answer to our Find It question?
Our question was: What does Sarah want James to do?
She wants him to stop talking to her. Yes, he was continuing to share his thoughts, but Sarah stopped him. She will never finish her report if they keep continuing this conversation.
Right, it’s fun to talk to your coworkers, but when you need to work, well, you need to work.
James says, "Oh, sorry, I’ll stop talking."
Yeah, there’s a time for everything, or for most things.
There’s a time when it’s good to talk and share your thoughts, and a time when we need to focus and get work done.
Sarah is a polite person. She says, “Thank you,” and continues, “I think I can just make it if I focus.”
If you make it, it means you reach your goal or you do what you really wanted to do.
Yeah, here, what is she making? Well, she’s making the deadline or that time when she needs to finish at the end of the workday.
And James says, “Great, do your best and I’ll be quiet now.”
So, he’ll stop talking, and that way Sarah can finish up her report well.
Friends, it’s that time now for us to review today’s keywords.
Here’s your first keyword:
Make someone’s day: "Your letter made my day."
Make the most of: "They made the most of the time."
Make do: "We can make do with what we have."
Make it: "Will we make it in time?"
Make good on something: "Can they make good on the plan?"
Friends, those are today’s keywords! You’re doing a great job, and now it’s your turn.
Today’s words are:
Make someone’s day
Make the most of
Make do
Make it
Make good on
Now, it’s your turn to use them in a sentence.
First: “She didn’t ___ to the party.”
Great job! “She didn’t make it to the party.”
Next: “He ___ his promise.”
Good answer! “He made good on his promise.”
Next: “Can you just ___ it?”
Correct! “Can you just make the most of it?”
Next: “He’ll just have to ___ with it.”
Good job! “He’ll just have to make do with it.”
Last one: “Seeing her ___ his day.”
You’re right! “Seeing her made his day.” And “Seeing you made my day.”
So, come again for your turn!
Oh great!
What’s wrong, Sarah?
The internet isn’t working. How am I going to finish this report?
You can make do with your phone for now. You can get information and send emails that way.
Okay.
Good idea! It will really make my day if I can finish this report this afternoon.
Why? You have until Monday afternoon.
I promised the boss I’d finish it today. I’d like to make good on that promise.
Do you really think that you can?
We only have one more hour of work.
I’ll make the most of the time that I have. You need to work really fast though.
And James: "I’ll never finish this if you keep talking to me."
Oh, sorry. I’ll stop talking. Thank you.
I think I can just make it if I can focus.
Great! Do your best, and I’ll be quiet now.
One, two...
Let’s review today.
We learned a bunch of wonderful and useful phrases. Yes, English idioms. We learned what they mean and how to use them.
Hey, David!
I just got a wonderful idea!
What is it?
Let’s use all the idioms!
Right now, you go first.
Okay, did you know that being here with you makes my day?
Thanks, that’s so nice, and great job using that idiom!
Thanks! Now, you try to use an idiom we learned today.
Okay, I always make the most of using idioms. I use them whenever I can. Your turn!
I can’t think of anything. I’ll just have to make do with the idiom “make do.”
Hey, good for you!
Hey, we made it! We made it to the end of today’s review. Now we must make good on our promise and end on time.
Okay, goodbye everyone!
Hey friends, welcome to What’s Next!
My name is Seeva, and today we get to look at different pictures that tell a story. That sounds pretty easy, right?
Let’s see if we can understand the whole story with just three pictures.
Our first picture has a little boy in the snow.
Oh, a winter scene.
We know it’s winter because there is snow.
I see a lot of snow. So, what is the boy doing in the snow?
It looks like he’s making something.
What is he making in the snow?
It looks like a little ball. Is it a snowball?
Let’s take a look at the next picture.
Oh, my! That snowball is very big!
It looks very heavy too.
I wonder where the boy is taking that big ball of snow.
Will he throw it, or is he building something with it?
What do you think that boy will do next? What will happen next?
Can you make a guess?
Aha! The big ball of snow is part of the snowman.
The boy made the snowman with three big balls of snow.
The snowman has two sticks in it.
Those must be the arms.
What is the boy holding?
Hmm... it’s not a banana. Oh, I know! It’s a carrot. That must be the nose.
The boy did a great job building a snowman!
Making a snowman is a great way to stay active outside in the winter.
Do you want to build a snowman?
You just need three big balls of snow.
Oh, and maybe a carrot too!
See you next time on What’s Next.
So, in our conversation today, we heard how we can use all of these “make” phrases in a conversation.
Esther, do you have one phrase that you really enjoy using?
You know, Garrett, I’m like you.
I really like the phrase “make do.” You just use what you have, and you try your best.
And that’s a lot like that other phrase, “make the most of.” Make the most of what you’re given.
Don’t worry about what other people have. Just do your best, and let’s make the most of our time.
Let’s not waste time doing things that are not important.
Then we’ll feel happy about how we used our time well.
You did not waste time with us today.
We’re sure you learned a lot of great English.
And, of course, we will see you again tomorrow.
That’s right here on Let’s Talk in English.
Goodbye!
