I'll take your answers for question 3.

For question 1, there's one phrase that means "thank you" and is used several times in the video, but maybe you didn't understand what it meant. You may want to do some research on "different ways to say thank you"

For question 4, the phrase does not make sense in context. Listen one more time. Note that the consonant at the beginning of the sound may not be the consonant at the beginning of a word (because of "linking"). You may also remember which pairs of sounds you often have troubles with and try different combinations of these sounds until the phrase makes sense.

Ahhh, I understand, this is a trap, I was deceived
I have played since 12, and when he looked at a clock, it was 4:15 => so the final answer should be 4:15

U know, To be honest, at 0:26, when Rabbit called Arthur, Arthur was reading a book, and I am looking forward to "grabbing" the answer after Arthur wipe the forage in the garden, => I still listened a white rabbit said "I really appreciate this"

TaylorSwift1989 đã nói:

hic, I am struggling to do question 4, U know, I listened many time
when a white rabbit calling with a red mobile => as I listened, In my opinion, it had "boring" but it isn't correct about grammar, it must be "bored" ???
But when it comes to grammar in this blank, I think it should be "little bored". It is suitable about grammar and context, and I anticipate that he is bored and need to a white rabbit help to do sth he need

Full transcript cho các câu hỏi 2-4

Spoiler

Buster: (gasps) Four-fifteen already?! No, that can't be right. I've been playing since twelve!
Augh! He runs to the window. The yard is full of leaves. Oh no! I'll never get the raking done. What am I gonna do?

***

Arthur is reading “The Bellicose Bathroom” by Persimmony Glitchet while talking on the phone.

Arthur: Um, okay, Buster. I guess I could spare half an hour. I'll be there in a few minutes. (sighs)

Arthur walks into the Baxter’s back yard and gets a show. Buster is lying in leaves.

Buster: Oh, hey, Arthur. There's a rake on the deck. We gotta be done by five.

He picks up an armful of leaves.

Arthur: You know, I was in the middle of reading Persimmony Glitchet's “The Bellicose Bathroom”.

Buster: Sorry, Arthur, I really appreciate it. I owe you one.

The boys get to work.

***

Buster: Me too! Our yard had four weeks' worth of leaves and I only had half an hour to rake them all. Good thing Arthur came over to help me.

Francine: Lucky break? So now what are you gonna do for him?

Buster: Do for him? Uh... I don't know. He didn't ask for anything.

Muffy: He helped you without asking for anything in return??

Buster: Uh-huh. I mean, I said I owe you one but he never collects. Yep, Arthur's a really great guy. The others exchange looks. What?

Francine: Buster, how many favors has he done for you?

Buster: Let's see, there was yesterday, a couple the day before that, that one on Monday, about ten last week so, that's fourteen, carry the one... Uh... a lot! Why?

Muffy: Buster, have you ever heard of interest?

Buster: Sure, I have lots of interests: video games, aliens, video games about aliens...

Muffy: (sighs) Not that kind of interest! I'll show you.

The kids stand around a pile of leaves.

Muffy: Let's say you bought a bunch of stuff with a credit card, and this is how much money you've spent.

Francine: We'll just call it... a lot.

Muffy: For however long you don't pay that money back, a little bit of money is added to it, which is called interest. She adds some leaves to the pile. Then you owe money on the interest.

Brain: Then you owe even more money!

Muffy: And more and more and more and more and more...

The kids keep adding leaves until Buster disappears behind the pile.

Buster: What are you saying exactly?

Muffy: Owing favors is like owing money. And that's how many favors you now owe Arthur.

Buster: Huh?

Francine: One day he could decide to collect all of them. What do you think of that?

Buster: (gulps)

***

In a dream Buster is playing on the computer at night when the phone rings.

Buster: Hello.

Arthur: It's Arthur. Listen, I'm in a bind. Could you come help me out?

2, How much time did Buster (the white rabbit) spend playing games?

Spoiler

Buster: (gasps) Four-fifteen already?! No, that can't be right. I've been playing since twelve!

4:15 = 4 giờ 15 phút.
I've been playing since twelve = Mình đã chơi từ lúc 12 giờ. Ở đây Buster dùng thì hiện tại hoàn thành tiếp diễn để diễn tả việc mình chơi là liên tục đến tận thời điểm nói và vẫn có ý định chơi tiếp.

Vậy câu trả lời cho câu hỏi này là 4 hours and 15 minutes.

Lưu ý câu hỏi là về "How much time", như vậy câu trả lời là một khoảng thời gian, không phải một thời điểm.

3, What are the two meanings of the word "interest" used in the video?

Spoiler

Muffy: Buster, have you ever heard of interest?

Buster: Sure, I have lots of interests: video games, aliens, video games about aliens...

Muffy: (sighs) Not that kind of interest! I'll show you.

The kids stand around a pile of leaves.

Muffy: Let's say you bought a bunch of stuff with a credit card, and this is how much money you've spent.

Francine: We'll just call it... a lot.

Muffy: For however long you don't pay that money back, a little bit of money is added to it, which is called interest. She adds some leaves to the pile. Then you owe money on the interest.

Brain: Then you owe even more money!

Muffy: And more and more and more and more and more...

Vậy là có hai nghĩa của từ interest ở đây:

• interests could be things that you like such as video games, aliens, video games about aliens...
• interest could be the money that is added to a debt.

Nếu câu trả lời thể hiện được hai nghĩa này thì mình nghĩ có thể tính điểm được rồi.

4, Fill in the blanks:
Buster: Hello.

Arthur: It's Arthur. Listen, I'm __________. Could you come help me out?

Spoiler

Buster: Hello.

Arthur: It's Arthur. Listen, I'm in a bind. Could you come help me out?

Ở trong câu "I'm in a bind" thì âm m của "I'm" nối với "in", âm "n" nối với "a" (âm schwa). Nếu các bạn chưa quen với việc nối âm kiểu này, hoặc có sự nhầm lẫn giữa các phụ âm như l vs. n thì sẽ rất khó nghe được cụm từ này.

Để luyện tập phần nối âm, các bạn có thể xem các video sau của cô Rachel

Một cách khác để nghe cụm từ này là biết từ.

"in a bind" có nghĩa là "in a difficult situation where there are no good choices."

Cụm từ này gần giống với một cụm từ khác mà ta đã học là "in a pickle", tuy nhiên nghĩa của cụm từ "in a bind" chi tiết hơn nghĩa của từ "in a pickle".

Ngoài "in a pickle" thì ta còn từng được học một cụm từ bắt đầu với "in a" nữa, bạn có nhớ đó là cụm từ nào không?
