I wanted to help you learn the English phrase in one shot.
1
1260
3450
00:04
When you do something in one shot,
2
4710
1860
00:06
it means you are successful
3
6570
2070
00:08
the first time you attempt to do it.
4
8640
2520
00:11
Believe it or not, these short English lessons,
5
11160
2130
00:13
I usually do them in one shot.
6
13290
2070
00:15
Sometimes I fail.
7
15360
1620
00:16
Sometimes I say something wrong
8
16980
2130
00:19
or I mess up and I start again.
9
19110
2040
00:21
But usually, I make the video in one shot.
10
21150
2370
00:23
That means I hit record
11
23520
1560
00:25
and I talk for a full four minutes without stopping.
12
25080
2910
00:27
Usually I do it in one shot.
13
27990
1860
00:29
One time I found a phone in my classroom
14
29850
2700
00:32
and I thought to myself,
15
32550
1080
00:33
I should try and unlock this phone
16
33630
2130
00:35
to see who it belongs to.
17
35760
1500
00:37
And so, I guessed the password in one shot.
18
37260
2940
00:40
I punched in one, two, three, four
19
40200
2040
00:42
and that was the person's password
20
42240
1500
00:43
and the phone was unlocked.
21
43740
1170
00:44
I got it in one shot.
22
44910
2070
00:46
The other phrase I want to teach you today
23
46980
1590
00:48
is the phrase it's shot.
24
48570
1890
00:50
When you say something is shot, it means it's broken.
25
50460
3000
00:53
It's completely useless.
26
53460
1680
00:55
This is my old phone.
27
55140
1470
00:56
It's shot.
28
56610
833
00:57
It doesn't even turn on anymore.
29
57443
2017
00:59
In fact, the screen, only half the screen worked for a bit
30
59460
3240
01:02
and then it just stopped working, it's shot.
31
62700
2400
01:05
So when you say something is shot,
32
65100
1710
01:06
it means it's completely broken.
33
66810
2040
01:08
Our last van, not one of the two I have right now,
34
68850
3330
01:12
we eventually got rid of because it was shot.
35
72180
2190
01:14
It just didn't start anymore.
36
74370
1740
01:16
It was really starting to rust.
37
76110
1650
01:17
It was shot.
38
77760
1470
01:19
So to review, when you do something in one shot,
39
79230
2940
01:22
it means you do it the first time you try it,
40
82170
2580
01:24
you succeed the first time you try it.
41
84750
2670
01:27
I think right now, I'm probably gonna be able
42
87420
2310
01:29
to finish this video in one shot.
43
89730
2190
01:31
Everything seems to be going really good.
44
91920
2130
01:34
And when you say something is shot,
45
94050
1770
01:35
when you say ah, it's shot, hey, do you wanna buy my car?
46
95820
3060
01:38
I'm not buying your car.
47
98880
1860
01:40
It's shot.
48
100740
900
01:41
That simply means it's no good anymore.
49
101640
2370
01:44
It doesn't really work and it's not useful to anyone.
50
104010
3210
01:47
It's shot.
51
107220
1230
01:48
But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.
52
108450
3210
01:51
This comment is from Noriko.
53
111660
1740
01:53
It's a bit of a long one, here we go.
54
113400
1447
01:54
Hi, I'm always wondering
55
114847
1140
01:55
when you usually upload a new video.
56
115987
1710
01:57
I mean, the time when you upload
57
117697
1920
01:59
is sometimes in the middle of the night there in Canada.
58
119617
2730
02:02
Do you set a timer to upload a video automatically
59
122347
2490
02:04
or wake up before the crack of dawn?
60
124837
2250
02:07
I'm not tech savvy, so this question might be dumb.
61
127087
3150
02:10
Anyways, thanks.
62
130237
1043
02:11
And my response, "Yes, that is correct.
63
131280
1267
02:12
I upload the video the day before
64
132547
2430
02:14
and I set it to go live at around 3:00 a.m. my time.
65
134977
3630
02:18
This gives me a bit of a buffer
66
138607
1440
02:20
in case I think of something I need to change.
67
140047
2250
02:22
It's also the time of day
68
142297
1410
02:23
when most English learners around the world watch videos.
69
143707
3300
02:27
So I don't, Noriko, get up at the crack of dawn."
70
147007
2963
02:29
Thanks for that comment, by the way.
71
149970
1680
02:31
I don't get up at the crack of dawn.
72
151650
1860
02:33
I am able to upload the video the day before.
73
153510
3900
02:37
On YouTube, I can set it to go live at a certain time.
74
157410
4200
02:41
And when I looked at when most people
75
161610
2130
02:43
around the world are learning English,
76
163740
1740
02:45
it's usually between 3:00 a.m.
77
165480
3210
02:48
and 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon.
78
168690
1800
02:50
That seems to be the most popular time.
79
170490
2310
02:52
Sorry, I got, I think I just walked through a spider web.
80
172800
2970
02:55
That seems to be the most popular time
81
175770
2070
02:57
to watch videos to learn English.
82
177840
2580
03:00
Which makes sense.
83
180420
960
03:01
Most of North America is awake
84
181380
2790
03:04
at a different time than the rest of the world
85
184170
2250
03:06
and most people in North America already speak English,
86
186420
2550
03:08
so they don't need to really learn.
87
188970
1890
03:10
Hey, I'm gonna show you.
88
190860
2070
03:12
We are headed off to market today,
89
192930
1800
03:14
so Jen has a little cart of flowers here.
90
194730
3000
03:17
Let me back up.
91
197730
1260
03:18
This is how Jen harvests flowers.
92
198990
2700
03:21
So there's a nice bucket of zinnias here.
93
201690
3120
03:24
And you can see there is a nice bucket
94
204810
1980
03:26
of sunflowers as well.
95
206790
1230
03:28
Some with yellow centers,
96
208020
2190
03:30
some with darker centers
97
210210
1770
03:31
and kind of a nice maroon and yellow.
98
211980
2580
03:34
And then, here's more of the traditional style.
99
214560
3780
03:38
That flower will open up by the way.
100
218340
2163
03:41
We usually cut our flowers when they're partially open,
101
221850
3690
03:45
and then when people buy them,
102
225540
1230
03:46
they slowly open in their house.
103
226770
1680
03:48
So anyways, market day,
104
228450
1770
03:50
I'm heading to market with Jen today,
105
230220
1680
03:51
but I'm just popping out to make a little English lesson
106
231900
2220
03:54
before I go.
107
234120
840
03:54
I think I did this one in one shot.
108
234960
2190
03:57
Have a great week.
109
237150
833
03:57
See you in a couple days with another one, bye.
