📝 Podcast Transcript
Hello everyone, and welcome to Word Kitchen. I'm Maya.
And I'm Lena. Hi, friends. Today's show is all about the body, the parts we use every single day.
That's right. We all have two hands, two feet, two eyes, one nose, and one mouth. And we use them all day long.
So let's start with the hand. Your hand is the part at the end of your arm. You have fingers on your hand.
Yes. Think about your morning. You wash your hand and your face. You hold your toothbrush in your hand.
You open the door with your hand. You hold your phone in your hand. And you eat lunch with your hand when you pick up a sandwich.
Oh, and yesterday I hurt my hand. I carried a heavy box, and my hand still feels sore today.
Oh no. You should rest your hand today. Rest is good for a sore hand.
Thank you. Now, feet. Your foot is the part of your body you stand on. One foot, two feet.
Right. You walk to school on your feet. You run in the park on your feet.
And last night, my feet hurt. I walked to the store and back. It was a long walk, and my foot hurt after the long walk.
I understand. When my foot is tired, I sit down and rest my feet. New shoes can help your foot, too.
Good idea. Now the eye. Your eye is the part of your body you see with. You have two eyes.
I use my eyes all day. I read books with my eyes. I watch movies with my eyes.
And I look at photos with my eyes. Yesterday, I saw a beautiful sunset with my eyes. My eyes loved the colors.
That is lovely. When my eyes are tired, I close my eyes for a minute. Rest is good for tired eyes.
True. Next is the nose. Your nose is the part of your face you smell with.
Yes. I smell fresh bread with my nose. I smell flowers with my nose.
And last week I had a cold, and my nose was blocked. I could not smell anything with my nose.
That is the worst. When my nose is blocked, food has no taste. I always keep tissues near my nose in winter.
Me too. Finally, the mouth. Your mouth is the part of your face you eat and speak with.
Right. I eat breakfast with my mouth. I talk to my friends with my mouth.
And I sing songs with my mouth. This morning, I opened my mouth wide for the dentist. The dentist looked inside my mouth.
Was everything okay with your mouth?
Yes. The dentist said my mouth is healthy. But she told me to brush my teeth well. A clean mouth is a happy mouth.
You know, last Saturday I had a funny day with all these body parts.
Tell me.
I woke up late. I opened my eyes and saw the clock. My eyes were still sleepy, so I washed my face with my hands.
A quick wash with your hand and water.
Yes. Then I ate breakfast. I held my spoon in my hand and ate with my mouth. The soup was hot, so I blew on it with my mouth.
Smart. Hot soup and a hungry mouth need care.
Then I went for a walk. I put on my shoes and my feet felt good. My foot stepped on a small stone, and my foot hurt for a minute.
Ouch. Did your foot feel better later?
Yes, I sat on a bench and rested my feet. Then I smelled flowers in the park. The flowers had a sweet smell, and my nose loved it.
A happy nose.
Then I went home and played a card game with my brother. I held the cards in my hand, and I looked at them with my eyes. I won the game, and I smiled with my mouth.
What a great day. Your hand, your foot, your eyes, your nose, and your mouth all worked hard.
Ha. So let's remember. Your hand holds things. Your foot helps you walk. Your eye helps you see. Your nose helps you smell. And your mouth helps you eat and speak.
Let's say them together. Hand, foot, eye, nose, mouth.
Hand, foot, eye, nose, mouth. Good job, everyone.
Use your eyes to find these words in your lesson today. Use your hand to tap the quiz. And use your mouth to practice saying them out loud.
That's all for today. See you tomorrow on Word Kitchen. Bye.
Bye.

📝Grammar: Reported speech — telling what people said
When we tell other people what someone said, we use reported speech. Use **told + a person**: "She **told me** her hand hurt." Use **said + no person**: "She **said** her hand hurt." The tense usually goes one step back: present → past. "I am tired" → "She **said she was** tired." The word **that** is optional. "He said **that his foot** hurt" = "He said his foot hurt." For yes or no questions, add **if**. "Are you tired?" → "He asked me **if I was** tired." For other questions, keep subject + verb order, with no do or did. "Where do you live?" → "She asked me **where I lived**."
