Well Marie, do you remember the first time you went in an airplane?

I do. I was going from New Jersey to Florida, and I was so excited.

But I was a little nervous, too.

When I got on the plane, I was just full of excitement.

And it was OK.

Well, today is Rebecca's first time flying in a hot-air balloon.

She's about to take off soon.

So let's watch together.

(Chinese).

To attach the envelope, a worker tips the basket on its side.

Then the balloon is attached to the basket with special cables.

Once the cables are attached, the balloon is spread out on the ground.

(Background Noise).

Oh, whoa! It's big!

(Background Noise).

(Music).

Next, a large fan is used to fill the envelope with air.

As the balloon fills up with air, it will start to get bigger and rounder.

Balloon envelopes are really large.

The most common hot-air balloons have envelopes that are about 17 meters wide and 21 meters high.

That's as high as a seven-story building.

Once the envelope is full of air, it's time to heat the air.

As the air gets hot, the balloon starts to rise.

Soon, it is time to take off.

(Background Noise).

This is so exciting.

I am excited!

(Background Noise).

Wait, wait... oh.

OK, bye.

Bye-bye, bye-bye! I'll see you.

Good-bye.

Bye-bye! There it goes.

Yeah... oh, yeah? OK.

OK, yeah, that's [something]. Oh, my goodness...

Bye!

(Music).

Oh, my goodness! We are 1,500 feet above the ground!

That's pretty high! But it's really cool.

You can see the mountains.

And you can see the clouds all over the mountains.

It's so beautiful.

Perfect day for a hot-air balloon ride.

Flying in a hot-air balloon is really an amazing experience.

The view is amazing.

A hot-air balloon pilot can't really control the direction the balloon flies in.

Here [she] can only control how high or low the balloon flies.

To make the balloon go higher, he makes the air hotter.

To make the balloon go lower, he lets some air out, which cools the balloon and allows it to drop.

Getting closer and closer.

Look at that! We just touched the water in our hot-air balloon.

Oh, my goodness! That was so cool!

When it is time to land, the pilot will contact his crew and let him know where he will land the balloon.

The crew will drive to the spot and meet with the balloon.

We're getting ready to land very soon, friends, in the middle of the road.

This has been the most exciting adventure flying in a hot-air balloon.

I would encourage you to come to Taitung, so you, too, can fly in a hot-air balloon.

Well friends, thank you for joining me for today's eREPORT.

I'll see you next time.

(Background Noise). Land.

There it goes. Oh, we get down? (Yes, get down).

(Chinese).

(Background Noise).

OK, [head], wait, wait, wait.

OK, stop.

Oh, that was fun.

OK, we land.

Oh, we did it. Oh, wow. Yes!

Wow! The envelope is spread out on the ground.

So it is open and placed over a large area.

You might spread out your notes when you are doing homework.

I like to spread out everything on the table so I can see it all.

Yeah.

Or before you eat dinner, you might spread a piece of cloth on the table.

So Peter, what happens next?

So a large fan fills the envelope with air.

The envelope gets bigger and rounder.

Yeah. You know, many envelopes are about 17 meters wide and 21 meters high.

That's as high as a seven-story building.

Wow, that's amazing.

So once the envelope is full of air, it's heated.

As the air gets hot, the balloon starts to rise.

And Rebecca's colorful hot-air balloon soon takes off.

Here's Christina to tell us more about this.

(Chinese).

So Rebecca takes off into the sky, and the view is beautiful.

She can see the mountains, the clouds and the trees.

That's right.

And I'm glad Rebecca landed safely.

All right, friends.

Well, now it's time to review our key words.

Here's the first key word of the day.

Now let's watch Super Sentence Man.

(Music).

Hello and welcome to Share TV, where we share our experiences with you.

I'm Nina and with me is...

Clyde Cake of Clyde's Cooking Show.

Today I'm going to teach you how to bake cookies.

I'm very excited.

Well, first, you need to make the (Chinese), the cookie dough.

My favorite part is putting the cookies into the oven.

Yes. But before you do that, the dough is prepared.

I heard that.

Uh... Super Sentence Man?

Yes, yes, yes, it is I, Super Sentence Man.

And I heard someone say a super sentence.

Before something, (the) something is prepared or are prepared.

Oh! That was me.

That was you?

I said that oh, before (Yes?) you do that, the dough is prepared.

Ah, yes, very good.

That is the super sentence.

You know, I bet you can't give me this sentence in another way.

I sure can.

Before a teacher teaches a class, the lesson is prepared.

Ah. Before a teacher teaches the class, the lesson is prepared.

Brilliant!

What about you?

Do you think that you can give me your own super sentence?

Of course I can.

Before Super Sentence Man leaves his home, the super sentences are prepared.

Yes! Yes! You understand.

Before Super Sentence Man leaves his home, the super sentences are prepared.

And it is hard work.

(Chinese).

Oh, well, yes.

(Chinese).

But I love it!

Wait! I must go.

But remember, a super sentence every day will make your English great!

Oh, and Clyde.

Yes, sir.

When you're done baking cookies, I'd like to try one.

Sure thing, Super Sentence Man.

Well, everyone, let's make some cookies.

Oh. Well, first, you need to wear this.

Well, today was fun, wasn't it?

And I think it's about time for you and me to go down to Taitung and fly in a hot-air balloon.

Peter, that is the best idea yet!

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's go!

All right, friends, we hope you enjoyed today's lesson.

We'll see you next time.
