Our theme today is heatwave, and everything in this bucket, is number one, a mystery to Jack. - Yes. - And number two, something that has to do with hot weather. - Yeah and this whole lesson is a mystery to me as well. But this is Kate's idea, it sounds good from what I know. And I think this is gonna be a really good way for you to learn some new words and phrases. You did say that you're going to give them opportunity to say what the item is, right? - That's right. So you're also going to get to test yourself and see if you know the vocabulary for each item I am about to pick out of the bucket. And the last one is a special surprise for Jack. - Oh, fanastic, wow! I'm good at surprises. - Are you? (chuckling) - But okay, just before we get started as well, you're showing seven items? - Approximately. - Okay. And they're all related to heatwave? - Mm-hmm. - We had a mini heatwave last week. - We did. - Did you know they're having a heatwave in the UK at the moment? - Really? - Yeah. - So temperatures are higher than normal? - A lot higher. Just to explain what a heatwave is. - I was about to say, how would you describe a heatwave? - How would you describe a heatwave? So yeah, heatwave is when the, it's like a period of time, usually more than two days, right? When the temperatures, they're not just hot, but they're very hot, it feels really hot outside. And I remember, actually could be a day. Do you remember in Valencia when we came back from Italy, I think, or the UK, and we were living in Spain at the time. I know you want to open this! (chuckling) But we were living in Spain at the time, and there's that one day when it was just, unbelievable. - It was so hot. It felt like we had opened the oven, and we were just standing in front of it constantly. - Well, this feels like Christmas, and I know you want to see what's inside, and we're just going to talk about these items, I guess? And introduce some phrases that we can use with them. Okay, so, item number one. - Item number one! I'm gonna just set this down, no peeking! - Okay, no peeking. - No Peeking. Okay the first item that I have, is not really one to test ourselves on, but I have a cup for you, a cup for me. - Fantastic. - Some ice. - Oh, ice! - Uh huh. Ice and-- - Lemon. - Lemon. - Sorry, it's hard for me to hold back. - (laughing) I know 'cause this is so exciting, I know. Here, do you want to put some ice in your cup? - Yeah. Did you watch my video on seven things I find strange about the USA? - No. - Lots of ice, ice, ice in everything. Ice, ice, ice. All right, maybe you need to watch it. - Have some extra ice. - Okay. (chuckles) - And a little bit of refreshing lemon. - Okay, yes please! - So this is, this is one of my favorite ways to stay cool when the weather is warm is to have some-- - So Kate is squeezing the lemon. - I'm squeezing the lemon, and if this were very traditional we would actually have lemonade. - Yeah! - Mm-hmm. And children make money in the summer by having a lemonade stand, and selling little cups of lemonade. Today, we have sparkling water. - Yeah, from Trader Joes. - True. - And it says, raspberry lime flavor. So this is sparkling water. What is the most famous brand of sparkling water in the US? - Oh, good question. - Well think about a few years ago, there weren't many options, there was only one option. What was that option? There's a song about it that we both love. - Go ahead. - La Croix! - La Croix! - And, but did you know that I just saw a headline recently, saying that sales of La Croix have just come straight down? Because of all the cheap competitors now. - Yeah, now it's very popular, so, cheers! - Sparkling water with lemon. - Do you feel cooler and more refreshed? - Yeah. - My work is done. - So, that's the first thing in the heatwave, I guess? - Mm-hmm. - Cold water. - Cold water. - Stay hydrated, it's very important. - Now we're gonna imagine that you actually venture out of the house. - Okay, so we're stepping out the house now? - We're stepping out of the house, and there are two things that we apply to our skin before we go outside. - Yeah. - And I can show you what these are, but it's hard to tell from a distance. Can you guess what the two things are? - Me? - Uh huh. - Oh, I know what they are. - You know what they are. - So yeah (chuckles), but yet you put both of them on your skin? - Uh huh. - One protects you from the sun. And the other one protects you from bugs. - Bugs, mosquitoes, particularly. So I'm just gonna give you a little bit of this to apply. - Just a tiny bit. - Just a tiny bit I feel like I'm in duty free at the moment at the airport. (laughing) - It went everywhere! So I usually put this on my skin. This is sunblock. - I think we call it sunscreen, or suntan lotion. - Suntan lotion? Yeah we can call it that too. - Yeah. - Yeah, so we usually put on a lot of this or I do. - I don't. - Because my skin burns. - Yeah, I'm good at not getting burnt. - He gets tan. - I get tanned in the Uk, yeah to get tanned. - And now this is bug spray. - Yeah. Are you gonna put bug spray on me? - yes I am. - All right. Okay. - Here we go. Now, growing up we didn't really have bug spray. - No! - No. - You don't have as many mosquitoes. - No, I think I used to get bitten probably five times a summer in the UK. - Wow. - Here, it's crazy. Our house is a lot better, but our old property, you go
