Polite Expressions: Sorry and Thank You/Transcript

(colorful wave transition)

(we see Joji, Ogot, Cathy, and Nene play with their instruments. Joji plays a tambourine, Ogot plays bongos, Cathy plays a xylophone, and Nene plays with her maracas)

Joji: ♫ Na, ne, na, ne, na ♫

Oh, hello there! How are you? We're practicing to play this song. I'm going to be playing this tambourine! And, um...Let's go see what instruments they're going to use.

Ogot: Marj! Can you hand me those drumsticks?

Marj: Sure, Ogot! Here you go!

Ogot: Okay!

Joji: Uh-oh! I think Ogot forgot to say the magic words. Do you know what the magic words are? That's right! (shakes tamborine) 'Thank you.' Those are the magic words.

Ogot: Oh, I want to try the xylophone. May I borrow that, Cathy?

Cathy: Um, s-sure, Ogot. Here, you can use my xylophone.

Ogot: Great!

Joji: Oh, no! Ogot forgot again!

Ogot: This sounds cool! Cathy, do you mind if we exchange instruments?

Cathy: Well, the drums sound nice, too, so, okay. I will let you borrow my instrument.

Ogot: Yes!

Joji: Um, excuse me, Ogot, I think you're forgetting something.

Ogot: Huh? Hmm. Oh, yes! Here are the drums! I forgot to hand them to you, Cathy. Now, I can't-

Joji: No, no, no, Ogot, that's not what I mean. What I meant was, I think you're forgetting to say the magic words.

Ogot: M-magic words? Oh, the m-magic words! Of course! Abracadacbra alikaza-

Joji: No, no, no, Ogot, I'm sorry, but I didn't mean those magic words. Earlier, when Marj handed you the drumsticks, and when Cathy let you borrow her xylophone, you forgot to say the words

♫ Thank you for the world so sweet, ♫

♫ thank you for the food we eat, ♫

♫ thank you for the birds that sing, ♫

♫ thank you for everything ♫

(the lyrics pop up below the screen in red, followed by a ball bouncing)

Ogot: Oh, yes, thank you!

(the words 'thank you' pop up in blue)

Ogot: How could I have forgotten? Thank you! Thank you Marj, thank you, Cathy, and thank you, Joji! Sorry, guys, I was just too excited to play the instrument.

(the word 'sorry' pops up in red)

Joji: Well, that's another magic word!

Ogot: Huh?

Joji: Sorry! 'Thank you' and 'sorry' are magic words we should always remember.

(the words 'thank you' and 'sorry' pop up in blue and red)

Marj: Right! And Ogot,

Ogot: Yes?

Cathy: We accept your 'sorry!'

Ogot: Oh, thank you!

Joji: (laughs) Well, this is great! So, shall we practice our song?

Marj&Cathy&Ogot: Yes!

Joji: Well, let's go!

(eveyone begins to play their instruments)

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: 'Sorry' and 'thank you' are polite expressions that we say in different situations.

(the words 'Polite Expressions' is in a red blob, followed by 'sorry' on the left and 'thank you' on the right)

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: What should Lara say to Carlo? 'Sorry' or 'thank you?'

(the words 'thank you' pop up in a speech bubble over Lara)

Joji: Right! Thank you! What should Carlo say to Joo-chan? 'Sorry' or 'thank you?'

(the word 'sorry' pops up in a speech bubble over Joo-chan)

Joji: That's right! Sorry! Oops! He bumped into Leo's blocks. What should he say to him? 'Sorry' or 'thank you?'

(the word 'sorry' pops up in a speech bubble over Leo)

Joji: Right! Sorry! Carlo shared his food to Karen and Joo-chan. What should they say to Carlo? 'Sorry' or 'thank you?'

(the words 'thank you' pop up in a speech bubble over Karen and Joo-chan)

Joji: Right! Thank you!

(colorful wave transition)

(we see James on a hill)

James: Hey, what's up, it's James Lez Read here, and I'm standing beside a d-decorative d-double d-door! And behind this door are things, animals, and people that begin with the letter...D! Are you ready for these D's? Let's go!

(the door opens)

(we see five wooden words)

James: Hey! Look at all these! Dad, dog, doll, doctor, dot, dolphin.

(a dolphin splashes upwards for air, with the word 'dolphin' in brown)

James: They all begin with D-d-d-d-d! Sometimes, it can also be in the end, like in the words 'sad', and 'mad', and 'bad'!

(the words 'sad', 'mad', 'bad' fall down in brown wood)

James: Oh, here are the letter D's. Hi, guys! Here's how we write the big and small letter D. We start a straight line from top, going down, and then we draw a bi-i-i-ig curve.

(the uppercase D is drawn)

James: When writing the small D, we start with a curved line, then we draw a straight line going down.

(the lowercase D is drawn)

James: There! A-a-a-all done!

(colorful wave transition)

James: Let's practice the letter D in all these words! And remember, when writing the exact names of people, places, and things, we have to start with a big letter. Are you ready? Here we go! This is a place in the Philippines, and it is famous for its...durian!

(a capital D is drawn)

James: Davao! This is another province here in the Philippines. It's in Visayas.

(a capital D is drawn)

James: Dumaguete! Oh! Say 'hello' to my friend Danie! Her name starts with a big D.

(a capital D is drawn)

James: Danie! For 'duck', we just have to write a small D.

(a small D is drawn)

James: Duck! Deer!

(a small D is drawn)

James: Small letter D for deer, too! And also for the word 'dice'!

(a small D is drawn)

James: We can find the letter D in the end, too! Like in bird-d-d-d-d!

(a small D is drawn)

James: Bird! Bed!

(a small D is drawn)

James: Red!

(a small D is drawn)

James: Mud!

(a small D is drawn)

(colorful wave transition)

James: Look around, and you'll d-d-discover more things with the letter...D!

(colorful wave transition)

Ogot: Do the words 'thank you' and 'sorry' really have magic?

Cathy: Yes, are they really magic words?

Joji: Well, even if the words aren't "magical", they work like magic. When Ogot thanked you earlier, how did you feel?

Cathy: Um, actually, it felt good.

Marj: Yeah! I felt happy hearing Ogot say 'thank you!'

Joji: You see, isn't that magical? Just two words, 'thank you,' made you feel better!

Marj: Right!

Joji: Same goes with 'sorry!'

Ogot: Well, they're magic words, indeed.

Joji: How about you? When was the last time you used these magic words? (pause) That's great. Well, thank you for being with us today. See you again next time! And remember, my room is your room.

Joji&Cathy&Marj&Ogot: Goodbye!
