So in English, if you're in hot water,
0

2700
00:03
it means that you're in trouble.

00:06
Sometimes people get in hot water
2
6530
3590
00:10
when they do things without telling other people.
3
10120
2960
00:13
So maybe you have a girlfriend,
4
13080
3370
00:16
and maybe you went out with another girl,
5
16450
2760
00:19
and when your girlfriend found out,
6
19210
2490
00:21
you would be in hot water.
7
21700
1580
00:23
By the way, you shouldn't ever do that.
8
23280

00:25
If you have a girlfriend,
9
25280
1070
00:26
you shouldn't be going out with other girls.
10
26350
2390
00:28
So that would mean that you are in trouble
11
28740
2810
00:31
with your girlfriend.
12
31550
1260
00:32
It would mean that your girlfriend is mad at you.
13

00:36
Sometimes politicians get in hot water.
14
36021
3469
00:39
Politicians get in trouble when they lie
15
39490
3320
00:42
or when they make promises
16
42810
1870
00:44
and then they don't keep their promises.
17
44680
2130
00:46
So you could say
18
46810
833
00:47
that the politician promised to build a new bridge,
19
47643
4147
00:51
but because they couldn't afford it,
20
51790
1920
00:53
he's now in hot water because he broke his promise.
21
53710
3650
00:57
So if you're in hot water, you're in trouble.
22

00:59
Hey, this is a little different
23
59930
1900
01:01
than to be a hothead. (laughs)
24

2730
01:04
A hothead is someone who gets angry really, really easily.
25
64560
4840
01:09
In fact, we would say that that person is hotheaded
26
69400
4090
01:13
or that that person is a hothead.
27
73490
2640
01:16
Sometimes I can be a little bit of a hothead.
28
76130
2520
01:18
I get angry.
29
78650
1370
01:20
You wouldn't probably believe this,
30
80020
1530
01:21
but I can get angry really quickly sometimes,
31
81550
2690
01:24
and so I can sometimes be known as a bit of a hothead
32
84240
5000
01:29
or as a hotheaded person.
33
89500
1700
01:31
So I hope you're not.
34
91200
1050
01:32
I hope you're always kind,
35
92250
1770
01:34
and I hope you're always nice to the people around you.
