πŸ“ Podcast Transcript

Maya

Hello and welcome to Word Kitchen! I am Maya.

Lena

And I am Lena. Today we learn words about our body. Our body is with us every day!

Maya

That is right! And moving our body is good for our health. A healthy body is a happy body.

Lena

So true. Let us start at the top. Your head is the top part of your body.

Maya

Yes, your head. And on your head, you have hair. Hair grows on your head.

Lena

That is right. My hair is long and brown. I wash my hair every morning.

Maya

My hair is short and black. Touch your hair with your hand. Nice!

Lena

Now, on your face you have two eyes. Your eye is the part you see with.

Maya

Close your eyes, Lena. Can you see me with your eyes closed?

Lena

No, I cannot see! When I close my eyes, I cannot see. Open your eyes now!

Maya

Open your eyes. Good! Now, between your eyes, what do you have? Your nose!

Lena

Yes! Your nose is the part you smell with. Smell this flower with your nose.

Maya

Mmm, it smells nice! And under your nose, you have your mouth.

Lena

Your mouth is the part you eat with. You also speak with your mouth.

Maya

That is right. Say hello with your mouth, Lena!

Lena

Hello! Now let us move down to your arm. Your arm is the long part from your shoulder to your hand.

Maya

Raise your arm! One arm, two arms. My arm is strong.

Lena

And at the end of your arm, you have your hand. You write with your hand.

Maya

Wave your hand! Your hand has five fingers. Clap your hand!

Lena

Now your leg. Your leg is the long part from your hip to your foot.

Maya

You have two legs. Stand on one leg. Very good!

Lena

And at the end of your leg, you have your foot. You walk with your foot.

Maya

Lift your foot! You have two feet. Your foot helps you stand.

Lena

Now turn around. Behind you is your back. Your back is the part behind your body.

Maya

Sit up straight, and your back will be happy. A strong back is good for your health.

Lena

Time to review! Point to your head.

Maya

Touch your hair, your eye, your nose, and your mouth.

Lena

Raise your arm and wave your hand!

Maya

Stand on one leg and lift your foot!

Lena

And touch your back. Great job!

Maya

Let us do it one more time, fast! Head, hair, eye, nose, mouth!

Lena

Arm, hand, leg, foot, back! You are wonderful!

Maya

Wonderful! Let us count again. One head, two hands, two feet!

Lena

Two eyes, one nose, one mouth!

Maya

Two arms, two legs, one back!

Lena

Good! When your head hurts, rest. When your back hurts, sit up straight.

Maya

Yes! And wash your hands before you eat with your mouth. That is good for your health.

Lena

And brush your hair, and wash your foot and your leg after sport. A clean body is a healthy body.

Maya

Look at me. My eye is brown. What color is your eye, Lena?

Lena

My eye is blue. And my nose is small, but my mouth is big!

Maya

Ha! Your arm is strong. Can you lift your hand high?

Lena

Yes! And my leg is strong too. I can lift my foot high!

Maya

Wonderful! Now touch your back with your hand.

Maya

Remember, take care of your body every day. Drink water, move your body, and stay healthy.

Lena

That is our show for today. Join us tomorrow for more words. Bye!

πŸ“Grammar: Present perfect and past simple

We use **have / has + past participle** to talk about our body and our life. We do not say when it happened. We also use **have / has + past participle** for a new action with a result now. Your hand is clean because you washed it. Use **just** for a very short time ago, **already** when it is done, and **yet** in questions and negative sentences. Use the past simple when we say **when** it happened. Words like **yesterday** and **last week** need the past simple. Never use **have / has** with **yesterday** or **last week**. That is wrong.
