00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000
Hello everyone!

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,000
It is your English reading coach, Minhee Teacher.

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Welcome back to our Mercy Watson adventure.

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Today we are looking at Part 4, which covers chapters 7 and 8 of

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Mercy Watson to the Rescue.

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Grab your director's megaphone and put on your imaginary

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
director's hat because today, we are reading like movie

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,000
directors!

9
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
We are going to control the camera, watch the action, and listen

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
to the sound effects.

11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Let's look at our movie storyboard first.

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
We have three main scenes in this part.

13
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
In scene one, the camera pans across the yard.

14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Eugenia is running after Mercy, and Mercy is loving every second

15
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,000
of it.

16
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
In scene two, a big red fire truck pulls up with a loud siren.

17
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
The firefighters jump out, but they are totally confused by the

18
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
yard chase.

19
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Finally, in scene three, the camera pivots.

20
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Everyone stops because they hear a cry for help.

21
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
The real emergency is not the chase at all!

22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Now, let's zoom the camera in closer.

23
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Imagine you are directing this scene.

24
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
How does Mercy feel?

25
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Mercy is a pig who loves toast, but right now, she thinks this

26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
chase is a wonderful game.

27
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
She is running in circles, her ears flapping in the wind.

28
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
But look at Eugenia's face.

29
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Eugenia is not playing.

30
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
She is angry and tired.

31
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
It is a classic comedy scene.

32
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
But then, the firefighters arrive.

33
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
They see this crazy chase and Baby Watson pointing and shouting

34
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
about a monster.

35
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
They think this is the big event.

36
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
But wait!

37
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
A quiet voice cuts through the noise.

38
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
The quote is, "Somebody is in trouble." This changes everything.

39
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
The camera stops spinning.

40
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
The firefighters realize they are looking at the wrong scene.

41
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Why did the author write it this way?

42
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Well, sometimes, a story points your eyes in one direction to

43
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
surprise you.

44
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Think of it like this.

45
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Imagine you are sitting in your classroom.

46
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Suddenly, there is a loud bang outside the door.

47
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Everyone jumps up and looks at the hallway.

48
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
You think the big event is out there.

49
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
But while everyone is looking away, you look down and notice

50
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
your water bottle has tipped over and is quietly soaking your

51
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000
backpack.

52
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
The loud noise was just a distraction.

53
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
The real emergency is right under your desk!

54
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
That is what is happening here.

55
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
The loud, funny chase in the yard is distracting everyone, but

56
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000
the real emergency is next door, where Mr.

57
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
and Mrs.

58
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Watson are still stuck on their broken bed.

59
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
As directors, we need the right words to describe our scenes.

60
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Let's look at five key words.

61
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
First is chase.

62
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
A chase is when you run after someone to catch them.

63
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Think of a cat and a mouse.

64
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Eugenia starts a wild chase.

65
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Second is dash away.

66
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
To dash away means to run away very quickly.

67
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Imagine a superhero suddenly zooming out of sight.

68
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
That is Mercy dashing away from Eugenia.

69
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Third is siren.

70
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
A siren is that loud, wailing warning sound on police cars or

71
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
fire trucks.

72
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
It goes wee-woo, wee-woo!

73
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
A siren wails outside the house.

74
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Fourth is emergency.

75
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
An emergency is a serious, dangerous situation where you need

76
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
help right away.

77
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
A fire is an emergency.

78
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
And fifth is in trouble.

79
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
If you are in trouble, you are in a difficult or dangerous

80
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
situation and need someone to help you.

81
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
The Watsons are definitely in trouble.

82
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Now, let's practice our lines!

83
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
I will say a sentence, and I want you to repeat it after me with

84
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
your best movie-director energy.

85
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Ready?

86
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Eugenia chases Mercy.

87
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Mercy runs in circles.

88
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
A fire truck arrives.

89
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
The firefighters hear a voice.

90
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
The real emergency is next door.

91
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Fantastic job!

92
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
You sounded like professional voice actors.

93
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Before we wrap up today's director meeting, I have one question

94
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
for you to think about.

95
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Have you ever focused on a loud, funny distraction and

96
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,000
completely missed the real, important problem?

97
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,000
What happened?

98
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Think about that, keep reading, and I will see you in our next

99
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,000
lesson.

100
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Bye-bye!
