The Bob and Rob Show Study Guide Lesson 45: Kids August 3rd, 2006 file name: bobrob08-03-06 file length: 20:32 Show notes On this show, we talked about raising children in Japan and the daycare system here in the land of the rising sun. Also, we talked about the phrasal verbs “to bring up” and “to bring to”. Phrasal Verbs “to bring to” 1) to revive consciousness e.g: we brought her to after she fainted. 2) to notify someone of something when used with “ones attention” e.g: we should bring this news to his attention. “to bring up” 1) to mention something e.g: we didn’t want to bring up the fact that she was divorced. 2) to raise a child e.g: Bob was brought up in the US but Rob was brought up in the UK. Ancient Japanese English Study Secret Here are some ways to ask for information: Could you find out…what time the movie starts? Could I ask…you a question? Do you happen to know…where the post office is? Notes: 1. ‘Would’ can be substituted for ‘Could’ and ‘Do’. 2. ‘Could’ and ‘Would’ are very similar. However ‘could’ sounds a little politer than ‘would’. 3. For an even politer expression, add ‘please’ to the end of the ‘Could’ sentences. e.g. Could I ask you a question, please? 4. For a less formal expression, substitute ‘can’ for ‘could or ‘would’. Commercial Tootsie Rolls (candy / sweets) Cultural note: The round piece of chewy, chocolaty candy that delights Americans today still looks and tastes amazingly like the first Tootsie Roll, made over 109 years ago. Even more astonishing, the candy roll still sells 1 for one penny, the original price, even though the company now offers candy packages priced up to $7.17. The first penny candy to be individually wrapped in paper, Tootsie Rolls are so protected today - but the modern design of the wrapper signals that changes have occurred in the products long and successful story. source /history.html Public Service Announcement Wh
