Joji: ''Hola! Annyeonghasyo! Kumusta!'' (laughs) There's so many ways to greet people, but no matter what you use, it's always nice to say your greetings with a smile on your face. We greet people when we see each other, when we meet someone new, and that's also how we start bew conversationg with our friends and family!

Pizza-man: Hi-i! I'm a pizza delivery man! I deliver different kinds of pizzas, and I also love pizza! (laughs) We all have different preferences of pizza, some like it thick, some like it thin. Some like it plain, and some like it spicy. But if you ask me, this is how I like it.

(we see his pie graph)

Pizza-man: This is a pie graph of the ingredients of my kind of pizza. Can you tell me what kind of pizza do I like the most?

(the cheese slice expands)

Pizza-man: Ha-ha! Yes, yes, a cheesy pizza. Pizza with lots of cheese. About half of all its ingredients are all che-e-ese! Now, what's another ingredient do you think I love to be on my pizza?

(the meat slice expands)

Pizza-man: Yes, meat. I want about one-fourth of my pizza to be meat. It can be ham, or beef, or sausage. With meat, a lot of cheese, and some pineapple, onions, and bell pepper,. I can eat pizzas all day. (laughs) You? Heh, what about you? What kind of pizza do you like?

(colorful wave transition)

Pizza-man: Okay, my boss gave me this and asked me about the deliveries I made. 🍕 = 1 order

Pizza-man: This is a pictograph. We can see here the pizza flavors and numbers of orders. Is it the cheese pizza? Let's look at the pictograph. (pause) Yes! It has the most orders! The cheese pizza has three orders. (pause) He also asked me how many ordered a spicy pizza. Can you tell me how many spicy pizzas did I delivere? (pause) Correct! I delivered two. (pause) And lastly, my boss also wants to know which has the least orders. Let's look at the pictoragraph. Ah, I think it is the plain pizza, because it only has one order. (laughs) Thanks for helping me! Time to tell my boss about my deliveries! Bye!

(we see Joji checking his bag)

Joji: Hmm, I don't think I forgot anything. I should be fiine. Okay, my things are packed, and I'm ready for adventure. (phone rings) Hmm? A message?

Japz: 'Joji, according to the news there is a storm coming today.'

Joji: My friend just messaged me that there's a storm coming! (phone rings)

Japz: 'Don't worry I will give you some tips on how to be safe during a typhoon.'

Joji: Oh, it's fine, because he will be giving me tips on how to survive this storm. But-but he will be giving me tips on how to survive this 'once the typhoon arrives'. Huh? What? Wh-Wh-Wait, did he just message me a subordinate clause? It's incomplete! This is just a group of words that cannot stand on their own!

(the words 'dependent clause' and its definition pop up in purple)

Joji: 'Once the typhoon arrives', what? Oh, wait! Here's another message. 'Stay indoors.' 'Stay indoors.' Okay, okay, okay, this is an independent clause. It is a group of words that can stand on their own. It makes sense!

(the words 'independent clause' and its definition pop up in purple)

Joji: Huh, I see. I have to connect the subordinate clause to this independent clause! 'Once the typhoon arrives, stay indoors.' There! Or, 'stay indoors once the typhoon arrives.' Phew! The subordinate clause and independent clause are connected by a subordinating conjunction, which is 'once'.

(the words 'once' are highlighted in yellow)

Joji: (laughs) Oh, there's the message! It says that when the storm comes, I should just stay here! Hmm, I think the storm is coming soon, so I'll stay here. (phone rings) Another message? 'if you are in a low area'. Wha-D-D-D- 'If you are in a low area' what? The storm is coming, and it's very dangerous, and he keeps texting me with another subordinate clause. I am in a low area, so what do I need to do? 'If you are in a low area'. It cannot stand on its own! Why does he have to send me a subordinate clause?

(the words 'subordinate clause' pop up in purple)

Joji: Okay, okay, calm down, this may be incomplete, but he might message an independent clause. Let's wait, let's wait. (phone rings) Yes! I knew it! 'Go to a higher ground.' Okay, there you go! It's an independent clause. 'Go to a higher ground.' All I have to do is connect the subordinate clause to the independent clause. The subordinating conjunction, which is 'if',

(the word 'if' is highlighted in yellow)

Joji: will connect them. 'If you are in a low area, go to higher ground.' Or, 'go to a higher ground if you are in a low area.' Oh-hoh, there's the message! Okay, it says that before the storm comes, if you're in a low area, you must go to a higher ground! (pause) What? Oh, no, I have to get out of here! The storm is coming soon, I have to find higher ground! Why didn't he text me earlier? Everything here, did I leave anything here? Bye!

(we see James Lez Read in his room)

James: Yo, what's up, it's James Lez Read here, and I know that you know about the 'kn', 'wr', and 'gn' words! Can you tell me what they have in common?

(colorful wave transition)

James: The first letter is silent, and the beginning sound is given by the second letter. Remeber 'know', and 'wrap', and 'gnaw'? The 'knock', and 'wreck', and 'gnarled'? Let's see if you can complete these words. This is the first word!

(we see a gnome, with the 'gn' option connecting to the unfinished word)

James: Yes! Gnome. How about this?

(we see a boy pointing to his knee, with the 'kn' option connecting to the unfinished word)

James: Yup! That's a 'knee'! How about this?

(we see a knife, with the 'kn' option connecting to the unfinished word)

James: Knife. That's correct. Okay, last one!

(we see a girl writing, with the 'wr' option connecting to the unfinished word)

James: Of course! That's right! Ha, I mean, 'write', with a 'wr'! You get it? Right? Write? 'Wr'? (laughs)

(colorful wave transition)

James: So, I'll see you again next time, with more 'kn', 'wr', and 'gr' words.
