I think this is a very easy lesson. There is very little new vocabulary and he explains most of the new words in the program. The two topics, or subjects, or themes for this episode are states fairs and the man who created the comic book Spiderman. We still have state fairs in the United States, at least I think we still have them. I haven’t been to a state fair since I was about nine years old. I have never read a Spiderman comic book.
