Let's Learn English - Lesson 45: This Land is Your Land:
| Anna | You know I love Washington, D.C. But I want to see more of the United States. My roommate Marsha and I will be on vacation at the same time. So, we are going on a road trip together! |
| Anna | Hi, Marsha! |
| Marsha | Hi! |
| Anna | I packed my bags and I am ready to go! |
| Marsha | Did you make a list of all the places you want to see? |
| Anna | I did. I want to see New York City and the Statue of Liberty! |
| Marsha | And I want to see Mount Rushmore! |
| Anna | (Anna writes) Mount Rushmore. |
| Marsha | And don’t forget the Grand Canyon! |
| Anna | (Anna writes) Let’s not forget California’s redwood forest! There are so many places to see! |
| Marsha | We will be driving for a long time. So, we might get bored. |
| Anna | Bored? No way! We can talk. |
| Marsha | Or not talk. |
| Anna | We can play word games. We can sing! You know, our trip is like that famous American song. (sings) "This land is your land, This land is my land …"* |
| Marsha | (sings) "…from California to the New York island ..." |
| BOTH | “... to the redwood forest to the Gulf stream waters ... this land was made for you and me!” |
| Marsha | Will we be stopping soon? |
| Anna | We won’t be stopping soon. |
| Marsha | I’m hungry. |
| Anna | Marsha, we just left D.C.! We’ll be eating lunch in about 2 hours. Can you wait? |
| Marsha | I guess. |
| Anna | Here, have an apple. It’s organic! |
| (Anna throws the apple. It goes out the window.) | |
| Marsha | Thanks. |
| Marsha | Okay, we will be arriving in New York City very soon! |
| Anna | I can’t wait to see The Big Apple! Marsha, look! There she is! |
| Marsha | The Statue of Liberty! |
| Anna | She is awesome! |
| Anna | Marsha, in ten minutes, guess what we’ll be seeing? |
| Marsha | What? |
| Anna | The largest rocking chair in the world! |
| Marsha | No, we won’t be seeing that. |
| Anna | Marsha, it’s on my other list Best Roadside Sights. |
| (Marsha grabs the paper and throws it out the window.) | |
| Anna | Oh no! We littered! And my list is gone. Don't worry. I brought the book. (lifts up large book, starts reading) |
| (Later) | |
| Anna | … and that is why I am so afraid of sheep. |
| Marsha | (snores a little) |
| Anna | Wow, I feel better. Marsha, you are a great listener. |
| Marsha | (waking up) Where are we? |
| Anna | We will be entering North Dakota any minute now! |
| Marsha | North Dakota! We are going in the wrong direction! We want to go to South Dakota! |
| Anna | No problem. I will just exit the highway. We will be going south … in just a minute. There. Done! We're going south! Okay, we will be stopping for gas and a bathroom break in about an hour. |
| Marsha | Then we will be very near to Mount Rushmore! |
| Anna | Yay! Dead presidents’ heads on the side of a mountain! |
| Anna | We did it, Marsha! We made it to California! It’s beautiful! |
| Marsha | And we saw everything on the list! |
| Anna | Well, we saw everything on page 1 of the list. |
| Marsha | What do you mean "page 1?" |
| Anna | Oh. Here are pages 2, 3 and 4! We’ll be very busy driving back to Washington, D.C. Until next time … ! |
