Hello, everyone.

Welcome to Let's Talk in English.

My name is Peter.

Are you ready to go for a ride?

Hello, everyone.

I'm Marie.

And yes, I'm ready.

Today's topic is eREPORT.

And the title of our lesson is Hot-Air Balloons.

Hot-Air Balloons.

So Marie, how do you like to travel?

Well, if I travel far or travel to a different country, I travel by airplane.

When I go to work, I take the subway.

Have you ever thought about traveling by hot-air balloon?

Traveling by hot-air balloon?

That sounds amazing! I never thought of that!

Well, a long time ago, that's how some people traveled.

Now people go on hot-air balloons just for fun.

Wait, Peter, are we going on a hot-air balloon ride today?

I've always wanted to go on one.

Well, not us, but Rebecca does.

And it's her first time going on a hot-air balloon.

And today we will watch her go up and away.

How exciting!

Well, I'm sure she will have a great time.

I hope she's not scared, though.

Well, when you do anything for the first time, it might be a little scary.

That's right. All right, friends, well, let's get started.

But first let's go over our key words with Christina.

(Chinese).

What a beautiful morning! Oh! Hey, everybody! I'm Rebecca, and welcome to eREPORT.

I'm so excited about today's eREPORT.

Why? Well, today we're going to learn about something that I'm very interested in.

That is the hot-air balloon.

Have you ever flown in a hot-air balloon?

Hmm. Me, either.

Do you know what a hot-air balloon is? Hey! I have an idea.

Let's go learn about it. What are we waiting for? Come on, let's go!

The hot-air balloon is not new technology.

In fact, it has been around for thousands of years.

The hot-air balloon is the first successful technology that allowed humans to fly.

In the past, hot-air balloons were used for travel.

Now people use hot-air balloons mostly for fun.

How do hot-air balloons fly?

Hot-air balloons have a large balloon on top.

The balloon is called an envelope.

The envelope holds hot air that lifts the balloon and its basket into the sky.

Well, it is a beautiful morning for Rebecca to go on a hot-air balloon ride.

She will not only ride in a hot-air balloon today, but she will learn a lot about this technology, too.

Yeah. You know, I already learned something about the hot-air balloon today.

The hot-air balloon is the first successful technology that allowed humans to fly.

Hey! We don't need an airplane to fly in the sky.

We can take a hot-air balloon.

Well, you said a great word, Marie.

Sky.

What do you see in the sky when you look up?

During the day, I see the sun and the clouds.

And at night, I see the moon and the bright stars.

Yes. The night sky is especially beautiful.

If you ever travel by plane, you can travel in the sky.

Yeah. And if you ever went on a hot-air balloon, then you traveled in the sky, too.

Hmm. I wonder.

How do hot-air balloons fly anyways?

They don't have any wings like airplanes do.

Well, it has a large balloon on top.

The balloon is called an envelope.

The envelope holds hot air that lifts the balloon and its basket into the sky.

Oh, lift.

That's when you move someone or something to a higher position.

You lift a bucket of paint.

Or you lift boxes when you are moving to a new home.

Yeah. Well, I know when I was a kid, my dad would lift me up and say, "I love you."

That's great.

My dad used to do the same thing.

Well, today Rebecca will be lifted into the sky.

But first she will learn how a hot-air balloon is prepared before it flies.

Let's go to part two and watch right now.

I am so excited!

I've seen hot-air balloons in pictures and movies.

But I've never actually ridden in a hot-air balloon myself.

Hey, did you know that hot-air balloons can fly to amazing heights?

Twenty-one thousand meters.

That's really, really high.

But, but don't worry. The hot-air balloons here in Taiwan don't fly that high.

(Music).

So, Da Hi, where's the hot-air balloon?

That's over there.

Wait, the hot-air balloon is in that truck?

That truck is so small.

I thought hot-air balloons are really big.

OK. I show you. Follow me.

OK. Come on, guys, let's go!

The first step to setting up a hot-air balloon is to prepare the basket and the burner.

The basket is where the pilot and passengers stand during the flight.

The basket also carries tanks of gas.

These tanks of gas are attached to a burner.

The burner uses the gas to create fire.

This fire will heat the air in the balloon envelope.

And that's what will lift the balloon into the air.

Once the basket and the burner are set up, it is time to attach the envelope.

There are lots of steps to take before the hot-air balloon can take off.

The first step is to prepare the basket and the burner.

Yes, this basket holds tanks of gas.

You really need to be careful when you set up this hot-air balloon.

You know, I think we should learn more about this phrase "set up."

Here's Christina to help us out.

(Chinese).

Thank you, Christina.

So Marie, let's talk about a few things you can set up.

What do you set up?

Well, I set up my TV.

Well, actually, I have my brother set it up for me.

There are so many different parts to put together.

And it can take a really long time.

I'm not good at putting things together.

Yeah, it's not always easy.

Now it's time to attach the envelope when setting up the air balloon.

Let's talk about that.

Yeah. That sounds like fun.

So how do you do that? I'm really curious.

Yeah, me too.

But we're out of time.

Friends, we're going to take a short break right now.

So don't go away.

We'll be right back.
