Mom! What is love?)」Amy抱著媽媽問。媽媽說：「愛就是我很想聽聽你今天過得怎麼樣，(Love is that I really want to hear how your day was?) 你願意說給我聽嗎？(Would you like to tell me?)」Amy於是向媽媽說起了今天發生的一切。小朋友，你覺得什麼是愛呢？What is love?你覺得誰說得有道理？誰說的沒有道理呢？如果你覺得有道理，你可以說：「It makes sense.」，如果你覺得沒有道理，你可以說：「It doesn’t make sense.」請跟Bear老師再說一次：有道理「It makes sense.」沒有道理「It doesn’t make sense.」小朋友，請告訴大家你有什麼想法，或是你也可以留言告訴Bear老師喔。 Please tell everyone your ideas. Or you can leave a message to me. Have a nice day! 祝你有個美好的一天。我們下次見嘍 See you next time. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
