So whenever something is going down, like the price of a
2
4593
4767
00:09
stock on the stock market, eventually it will bottom out and
3
9361
3439
00:12
then it will start to go back up again.
4
12801
2191
00:14
So to bottom out means kind of to hit the bottom.
5
14993

00:18
This can also happen with a car.

2375
00:20
If you drive an old car over some railroad
7
20769
2919
00:23
tracks, tracks, or a really big bump, sometimes the
8
23689
3361
00:27
shocks compress, but they compress all the way,
9
27051
2735
00:29
and then it's just this really loud bang.
10
29787
2838
00:32
And we usually say that's when a car bottoms out.
11
32626
2840
00:35
I used to have a car where if I drove
12
35467
1975
00:37
it too fast over a bump, it would bottom out.
13
37443
2647
00:40
You would just hear it go bang.
14
40091
1815
00:41
In fact, my blue van is starting to do that as well.
15
41907
4583
00:46
The other phrase I wanted to teach you
16
46491
1679
00:48
today is from the bottom of my heart.
17
48171
2671
00:50
This is usually a way to thank people.
18
50843

20
55451
2497
00:57
of my heart for watching my English lessons.
21

01:10
my heart for watching my English lessons.

28
76581
2415
01:18
hits the bottom and starts to go back up again.
29

usually a phrase we say when we say thank
35

2999
01:34

But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video.
37
96885
3615
01:40
This comment is from Konstantin.
38
100501
2319
01:42
Not only Canadian technique though.
39
102821
1679
01:44
That's the pulling glove on with mouth.
40

We all use it now and then.
41
106925
1479
01:48
Well, teeth are for chewing after all.
42

44
113077
2367
01:55
The challenge is to find a balance.
45
115445
2391
01:57
Oh, you know the ropes. Sorry.
46
117837
1791
01:59
Any chance of sharing your teaching of sticks?
47
119629
3039
02:02
My response, my main stick is to put a
48
122669
1767
02:04
zero in the grade book and then message the
49
124437
2095
02:06
student and parents and say it's not too late.
50
126533
1791
02:08
I can Always replace the 0 if you hand something in.
51
128325
3711
02:12
So I'm not sure if the words matched
52
132037
2247
02:14
what you saw on the screen because when
53
134285
1671
02:15
I printed it didn't print everything.
54
135957
1871
02:17
So there might be a little bit of a discrepancy.
55
137829
3623
02:21
So, Konstantin, thank you, fellow
56
141453
2265

57
143719
2331
02:26
Yeah, what am I going to do next?
58
146910
1360
02:28
Well, you see that big thing back there?
59
148271
2703
02:30
That's a water tower.
60
150975
1319
02:32
I'm actually here with my water jug because I
61
152295
4071
02:36
need to go to this tap here, and I
62
156367
3375
02:39
need to fill up this water jug.
63
159743
1735
02:41
We fill our water jugs up in town.
64
161479
4935
02:46

65
166415
1231
02:47

1679
02:52

2655
02:56
I can do this, and then I can flip this
70
176607
3983
03:00
tap here, and it will fill up my jug.
71
180591
4151
03:04
We do not drink the water from our cistern.
72
184743
3903
03:08

73
188647
2447
03:11
on the roof of our house.
74
191095
1319
03:12
So we get our drinking water from town here.
75
192415
2943
03:15
There's a filling station.
76
195359
1519
03:16
You can pause and read that if you want.
77
196879
2615
03:19
If you want to read the fine print.
78
199495
1303
03:20

79
200799
1903
03:22

80
202703
1367
03:24
I need to stop it.
81
204071
1699
03:26
Oh, it overflowed a little bit.
82
206550
3520
03:30
That's probably why there's so much
83
210071
2143
03:32
ice on the ground here.
84
212215
1615
03:33
People haven't stopped it in time.
85
213831
2319
03:36
But now I have in my pocket, if
86
216151
2255
03:38
I didn't lose it, my little blue lid.
87
218407
3653
03:44
This is really hard to do with one hand.
88
224080
2820
03:48
And then I will put it in my car.
89
228000
1940
03:57
There we go.
90
237680
1040
