[0:00]Welcome to English for newbie. Let's begin together.
[0:11]Hey Leo, do you want to play football today? Sorry Tom. I cannot play today. Why? Are you busy? Yes. My Dad is coming to pick me up. We will go to the cinema! Wow! That sounds fun. Okay, goodbye Leo! Goodbye! See you tomorrow! It is 5 PM. Dad is always on time.
[0:40]I am so excited to see the new movie. It is about a super robot. Driving down the street! Feeling good! Yeah yeah! Leo will love the movie. I already bought two tickets. Whoa! Why are we stopping? Look at that! So many cars!
[1:05]It is 5:30 PM. Where is he? Maybe he is buying popcorn? Or maybe he is parking the car? I will wait a little more. Oh, my tummy is growling. I am so hungry. This is strange. Dad is never late. Did he forget me?
[1:31]Come on! Move, please!
[1:36]Hey, blue car! Don't cut in line! Oh no. It is a huge traffic jam. We are completely stuck. What? It is 5:45 PM? The movie starts at 6 PM! Leo is waiting for me. He must be scared. I need to call Grace. Oh no. Low battery. Please don't die!
[2:08]Where is my charger? Is it in the glove box? No! I left it at the office. My phone is dead! This is a disaster!
[2:24]It is too late. So... no movie today. Dad, where are you? It is getting dark and cold.
[2:37]Leo! Is that you? Why are you still here? Hello, Mr. Guard. My parents are not here yet. I am worried. Don't worry. Use my phone. Call your parents.
[3:00]Alo! Please answer, Dad! It went to voicemail. His phone is turned off. Try calling your Mom.
[3:16]Mom is not answering either. Maybe she is driving. Maybe there is a big traffic jam. They will be here soon.
[3:31]Look! A yellow taxi! Wait... Mom taught me how to take a taxi. And I know my address! Mr. Guard, can I borrow your phone? To call your Dad again? No. I want to send a text message. It is faster.
[3:54]Mom, Dad. Don't worry. I am taking a taxi home. Sent! Now they know. Smart boy. Okay, let's stop that taxi. Taxi! Taxi! Be careful, Leo. Get home safe! Goodbye! Thank you! Good evening, young man. Where are your parents? Good evening. I am going home alone today. Oh. You are very brave. Do your parents know you are in a taxi? Yes. I already sent them a message. Good job, little boy.
[4:44]Excellent! You fastened your seatbelt. My Mom says: "Safety first". Please take me to 123 Grace Street, District 1. Do you know the way? 123 Grace Street... Is it near the big park? Yes! Go past the park and turn left at the bakery. Okay! Let's go.
[5:13]Mr. Driver, why are there so many red lights? It is rush hour, my boy. Everyone is going home from work, just like you. My Dad is driving too. Maybe he is stuck in this mess. Excuse me, what is that machine? That is the meter. It counts the miles and the money. It says 4 dollars now. It is going up fast! Don't worry. We are almost there.
[5:51]Here we are. 123 Grace Street. Safe and sound. The meter says 5 dollars.
[6:01]Here is a ten-dollar bill. And here is 5 dollars change. And your receipt. Thank you, sir! Have a nice evening!
[6:17]LEO! LEO! ANSWER ME!
[6:24]Sir! Please calm down! Stop shouting! Are you Leo's father? Yes! Yes, I am Ethan. Where is my son? Why are you so late? The boy waited for a long time. I... I... Don't worry. He is safe. He just took a taxi home.
[6:53]Oh. Taxi! Oh thank Gosh! I must go home!
[7:04]Home sweet home! That art contest was fun. Mom, the judge loved my painting! Yes! He said your colors were beautiful. Hello Mom. Hello Maya. Hi Leo! Hi... wait. Where is Dad? Did he park the car? No. Dad is not here. What do you mean? Who brought you home? I took a taxi. I came home alone. Alone? In a taxi? Oh my god! Leo! Are you okay? I am fine, Mom. I used my pocket money to pay. You scared me so much! But I am so glad you are safe. You are so brave, my little boy. LEO!! thank gosh, im glad you're okay! I am here, Dad. you're home! Oh Leo! I am so sorry! The traffic was stuck... and my battery died... I couldn't call... Calm down, Ethan. He is safe now. We will never forget today. Next time, please check the time and the traffic. It was your mistake today. But Mom, Leo was amazing today! He is like a superhero! Yes, you were very good, Leo. But remember, going alone is dangerous. Next time, please be careful and wait for us. Okay? Yes, Mom. I promise. Parents, please watch the time to pick up your kids. And teach them life skills to be safe. Today, I had a very interesting taxi trip! But friends, please don't go alone like me. Wait for your parents! If you like our video, please LIKE and SHARE with your friends! And don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to ENGLISH FOR NEWBIE.
[9:16]Okay Ethan, focus. You can do this. Step one: Put flour in the bowl. Easy peasy. Come on, come out... Why is it stuck?
[9:32]Oh no! I cannot see anything! Dad? What is that noise? Is there an earthquake? Whoa! Look at the kitchen! It is a giant mess! Dad, look at the floor. What happened? Good morning, kids. Just a little accident. Dad, what about these eggs? Are you cooking breakfast? No, Leo. I am trying to bake a cake. But the flour attacked me. A cake? Why are you baking a cake at 7 AM? Do you know what day it is, kids? Oh! It is February 14th. Yes. It is Valentine's Day. And Mom is coming home today. Valentine's Day? Is that a holiday for cake? It is a day to show love to special people. Mom has been on a business trip for a week. I miss her. I want to make her happy with a surprise. Aww, that is sweet, Dad. So you want to bake a Valentine Cake? Yes. But look. I failed. I am not a good baker.
[10:58]Don't be sad, Dad. We can help you! Yes! We are a team. Let's make the best cake for Mom! Operation "Surprise Mom" starts now! Okay team. We cannot bake in a dirty kitchen. First, we must clean up this mess! Sweep, sweep, sweep the flour! Goodbye, snow! Pick up the eggs. Easy. Don't break them!
[11:37]Oh! That is the delivery! I ordered new ingredients for the cake. But my hands are full of bubbles! Can someone get it? Me! Let me do it! Let's see what it is! Delivery for Grace's family! Thank you! Oof! It is so heavy! It feels like rocks! Help! Help! The bag is winning! I got you, son! Wow, lots of ingredients inside. Let's check. Sugar? Check. Strawberries? Check. Whipping cream? Check. Perfect. Now we have everything. Let's bake! Step one: Crack the eggs into the bowl. Leo, your turn! Oops. The shell fell in... But It's okay. Fish them out.
[12:42]Washing is done! Now I shake them dry! Shake! Shake! Shake! Dad, please be gentle! Strawberries are very soft. They are easy to break. Now mix the flour and eggs.
[13:01]It looks too thin. Hmm. Not sweet enough. We need more sugar! Sugar power! Make it sweet! Mix, mix, mix! Round and round! I will knead the dough. I have strong muscles! Winter is coming! Whoosh!
[13:28]Leo! I am a snowman again! Into the oven. Now we wait.
[13:46]Ta-da! The masterpiece! Dad, it looks like soup. It didn't rise. It is squishy. Why? Oh no. I forgot to turn on the heat! If we don't turn on the oven, the cake won't bake, Dad. Maximum power! Let's cook it fast! Hmm. Do you smell that? It smells like burning! The cake! Oh no! It is burnt! It is a black rock now. We can play soccer with this rock. One more time. Third time is the charm. Watch the timer. 170 degrees. 20 minutes.
[14:45]It is done! Yay! We did it! It smells delicious! Okay. Now it is time to decorate the cake.
[15:04]It is artistic, Leo. Let's cover it with white cream.
[15:13]Put the strawberry in the center. Red for love. Sprinkles everywhere! Make it colorful!
[15:25]It is beautiful... but messy. Balloons here. Flowers there. It looks romantic. Mom is home! Mom is home! Quick! Turn off the lights! Hide behind the sofa!
[15:49]Hello? Why is it so dark? Ethan? Kids?
[15:58]Where is everyone? Surprise! Oh my goodness! What is this?
[16:08]Happy Valentine's Day, my love. Welcome home. Did you make this cake? Yes! We made it! We failed two times, Mom! It looks a bit messy, Mom. But we tried our best. Let me taste. It is delicious! It is sweet and soft. This is the best Valentine's gift. I love it. Oh! What was that noise? Is the cat in the kitchen? No cat, honey. We forgot one thing... cleaning up. I knew it! You made a cake, so the kitchen is messy. It is okay! No problem. Let's clean up! And then... we will have a big dinner to celebrate! Yay! Let's do it! Thank you, honey. This gift is very wonderful. You deserve the best, my love....Right, team? Yes! You are the best Mom in the whole world! And we love you more than all the stars in the sky! Aww, I love you too, my little angels.
[17:25]You see? Valentine's Day is a great time to show love. Not just for couples... It is a special time for family love too.
