11
266250
8530
04:34
tell you why because it's Friday
12
274780
11280
05:02
it is Friday yes the weekend is just around a corner I know many people get
13
302840
5620
05:08
very excited when Friday arrives for some people it is a sacred day for the
14
308460
6720
05:15
people it is a day when the weekend approaches in fact we often think of
15
315180
6690
05:21
Friday we often think of this particular day as being the weekend so it is
16
321870
5940
05:27
technically the end of the week so when you think about it this actually is the
17
327810
6960
05:34
weekend it is the end of the week so I hope you're okay yes we have made it
18
334770
7290
05:42
through another week on planet Earth without blowing it up
19
342060
4200
05:46
isn't that amazing I'm really happy about that I don't know about you so
20
346260
4980
05:51
here we go it's mr. duncan by the way that's my name for those wondering what
21
351240
4380
05:55
I'm doing well I'm here every day during October doing a series of live lessons
22
355620
7979
06:03
yes the thing you are watching at the moment is live and I will be with you
23
363599
5841
06:09
every day I can't believe I am here every day during October so that's the
24
369440
6640
06:16
reason why my beautiful face is now on your screen right here's an interesting
25
376080
8700
06:24
word I want to kick things off with an interesting word how about this word now
26
384780
6960
06:31
this doesn't look like a real word but in fact it is a real word and can I tell
27
391740
6390
06:38
you something this is a word that I love for various reasons because it doesn't
28
398130
7440
06:45
look like a word it looks like a mixture of letters that have just been written
29
405570
6210
06:51
out randomly but it isn't it's a real word and the word is Pyrrhic so this
30
411780
6750
06:58
particular word is Pyrrhic and it is an adjective so it describes something so
31
418530
8220
07:06
we use the word Pyrrhic a battle that was won but at a great
32
426750
8280
07:15
cost to have been worthwhile for the victor so when we talk about Pyrrhic we
33
435030
7800
07:22
are saying that a battle took place it was a battle that was won
34
442830
5270
07:28
unfortunately the price that was paid maybe there were many casualties or
35
448100
5560
07:33
deaths made the whole war and also the victory earn worthwhile or not
36
453660
10880
07:44
worthwhile I like this word by the way worthwhile so there is an interesting
37
464540
5530
07:50
word as well so not only this word is interesting but this word is well
38
470070
4640
07:54
something that is worthwhile something that is valuable something that is
39
474710
6130
08:00
useful if you do it it is a good use of your time it is worthwhile but in this
40
480840
8340
08:09
case Pyrrhic if something is Pyrrhic it means it is a victory that you have
41
489180
7110
08:16
gained or something you have won unfortunately the cost was so high it
42
496290
7430
08:23
was not worthwhile so I always like to show interesting and different words at
43
503720
6580
08:30
the start of my live streams I have been asked to explain this phrase here is a
44
510300
7380
08:37
phrase and we use it quite often where we are talking about things we are going
45
517680
4650
08:42
to do in the future I have been asked to explain all in good time apparently it
46
522330
8850
08:51
was in a song apparently there is a song with this in the lyrics so I will
47
531180
8190
08:59
explain it right now shall I because after all that is my job so all in good
48
539370
4890
09:04
time means the thing will happen all you have to do is wait for it so something
49
544260
6600
09:10
that will happen in the future sometimes you might be very impatient perhaps you
50
550860
6750
09:17
can't wait for the thing to happen or arrive
51
557610
4860
09:22
so as a way of helping you to relax and to be patient you can say all good
52
562470
8490
09:30
things will come they will come all in good time so it is an expression that we
53
570960
8580
09:39
use quite a lot especially when we are trying to reassure someone when they are
54
579540
5400
09:44
feeling anxious about a future event or maybe something that is going to happen
55
584940
5340
09:50
and they are very excited about it so something will happen all in good time
56
590280
6300
09:56
all in good time it is a brilliant phrase and it is one that is used quite
57
596580
6540
10:03
a lot shall we have a look at the live chat or shall we have a look out the
58
603120

you're joining us here today as well I suppose I should mention I suppose I
100
879330
8370
14:47
should mention the word even though I've lost it
101
887700
3060
14:50
where's it gone wait there excuse me I've lost my word I suppose I should
102
890760
7920
14:58
mention this it would appear that we have reached an agreement with Europe
103
898680
9960
15:08
however there are still some people who don't like the new agreement for this
104
908640
6470
15:15
I'm not even going to say the word it's a little little bit like Harry Potter
105
915110
5350
15:20
do you know in Harry Potter you can never say that guy's name I can't read I
106
920460
6390
15:26
can't remember what his name is by the way but his name must never be mentioned
107
926850
4200
15:31
and nor must this so we will never say this word ever again however yesterday
108
931050
6780
15:37
it would appear that an agreement has been reached in Europe and also across
109
937830
6510
15:44
the UK however there is still the final vote which will be taking place this
110
944340
7200
15:51
weekend so we will see what happens is this ever going to happen will we have
111
951540
7920
15:59
to wait for another year or maybe it won't happen at all stay tuned
112
959460
7900
16:07
to this channel to find out all the latest dear dear me what an age to be
113
967360
8339
16:15
alive what a time to be alive he was an interesting word oh look at that now
114
975699
8130
16:23
this is a word I always think about when whenever I consider anything that is
115
983829
6920
16:30
topical or popular I always think of this word hype hype now yesterday we
116
990749
9460
16:40
talked about hyperbole which is very similar but this is another word hype so
117
1000209
8850
16:49
this actually can be used as a noun or a verb so it can be hype or you can hype
118
1009059
8220
16:57
something so if you promote something if you want lots of people to watch your
119
1017279
7231
17:04
movie or listen to your radio program or buy your magazine quite often you will
120
1024510
6210
17:10
have to hype that particular thing you need to get people really excited by the
121
1030720
7109
17:17
thing you are doing some people said mr. Duncan you should hype your English
122
1037829
6541
17:24
lessons you should tell lots of people maybe you need to take out some
123
1044370
5399
17:29
advertisements who knows so here's another word you might describe this as
124
1049769
5701
17:35
a buzz word so this is a word that is often used so when you hype something it
125
1055470
7799
17:43
means you push it you force it into the public domain or into the public eye by
126
1063269
8361
17:51
advertising it or creating some sort of news story you want to get publicity you
127
1071630
9399
18:01
want people to see your thing so you must hype the thing you must make it
128
1081029
8181
18:09
everywhere hype it's a great word and it does happen a lot nowadays people do
129
1089210
8860
18:18
like to hype things let's go to the live that oh hello you know who Harry Potter
130
1098070
7170
18:25
you know who oh yes of course he who must not be named is what what
131
1105240
7680
18:32
they said I think Fernando is here
132
1112920
4020
18:36
oh hello Fernando nice to see you here today oh and I can see your photograph
133
1116940
4410
18:41
as well you have a lovely smile on your faces mr. Duncan you are a friendly
134
1121350
5310
18:46
person every day in front of me thank you very much I always try to be happy I
135
1126660
6030
18:52
always try to be happy and positive of course being alive is really great and
136
1132690
7710
19:00
the reason why I mentioned that today is because mr. Steve this afternoon mr.
137
1140400
5910
19:06
Steve is going to a funeral one of his friends from his choir passed away a few
138
1146310
6090
19:12
days ago so today he is going to a funeral now I did wonder this morning
139
1152400
5400
19:17
because Steve was dressed in black he had his black tie and he looked a bit
140
1157800
6060
19:23
somber so I knew he was going to a funeral but quite often when you go to a
141
1163860
5880
19:29
funeral you will often you will often wear dark clothing to look sad and
142
1169740
6950
19:36
mournful it is also a sign of respect for the person who has passed away
143
1176690
6270
19:42
so unfortunately Steve is going to a funeral this afternoon what a way to
144
1182960
6310
19:49
spend your Friday afternoon I don't like funerals there is no way I am ever going
145
1189270
9780
19:59
to a funeral you would have to carry me there you
146
1199050
4020
20:03
really would a funeral I would never go to a funeral if it was the last thing I
147
1203070
7140
20:10
ever did hmm just variation there is a Chinese curse which says may he live in
148
1210210
11130
20:21
interesting times oh well I think it's safe to say that at the moment we are
149
1221340
6870
20:28
living in interesting times there are some very strange things taking place
150
1228210
5370
20:33
around the world lots of countries having political
151
1233580
4080
20:37
upheaval so when we say upheaval so we mean chaos or confusion or maybe there
152
1237660
9150
20:46
is a situation where maybe there is an argument taking place up evil chaos so
153
1246810
8100
20:54
many countries at the moment are going through periods of transition as far as
154
1254910
6150
21:01
their politics is concerned including here in the UK as I mentioned a few
155
1261060
5910
21:06
minutes ago Cristina says I have been hyping your
156
1266970
5730
21:12
English lessons to my friends I'm pleased to hear that do you know the
157
1272700
5100
21:17
best type of publicity the best publicity in the world is with this word
158
1277800
9990
21:27
of mouth if you like something tell a friend spread the word spread the news
159
1287790
8750
21:36
Rolfie says the world is upside down at the moment I think that would be very
160
1296540
5800
21:42
fair to say very fair to say that is a pretty accurate statement I think so
161
1302340
8340
21:50
Hassam good afternoon mr. Duncan and all the group nice to see you here as well
162
1310680
5510
21:56
so the person who can't be named in Harry Potter yes that's right Ana has
163
1316190
7990
22:04
got it right although I'm not going to say it just in case just in case because
164
1324180
6870
22:11
let's face it he who must not be named is pretty scary you are really a good
165
1331050
9240
22:20
teacher mr. Duncan thank you Emmet thank you also to one or two people using
166
1340290

22:27
Arabic today I can't read your names because I don't actually read Arabic I
167
1347340
5940
22:33
can't read it unfortunately but maybe you could type your name in English
168
1353280
6770
22:40
fantastic I am very intrigued by many things
169
1360050
7170
22:47
sometimes in life we have to try new things and here is a great expression
170
1367310
9960
22:57
that defines that very thing so maybe in life you want to try something new maybe
171
1377270
8830
23:06
there is a business opportunity that is offered to you maybe you get the feeling
172
1386100
5970
23:12
that you want to make some changes in your life maybe you want a change of
173
1392070
4740
23:16
career maybe you want to do something else something new perhaps nothing
174
1396810
6960
23:23
ventured nothing gained so sometimes if you don't try something new you will
175
1403770
5580
23:29
never find out how it turns out so maybe you want to learn a new language maybe
176
1409350
6690
23:36
you want to learn English well you will have to give a lot of your time and
177
1416040
4500
23:40
effort so you might have to put some work into it and spend some of your time
178
1420540
6440
23:46
doing it nothing ventured nothing gained if you don't try if you don't pursue the
179
1426980
8980
23:55
thing in question then maybe you won't gain anything
180
1435960
4290
24:00
so nothing ventured nothing gained sometimes it is good to try something
181
1440250
9420
24:09
new try something new maybe a new food so maybe something you've never eaten
182
1449670
8430
24:18
before or maybe a new type of job maybe you are bored in your current job and
183
1458100
7710
24:25
you want a change of scenery so I like this I like this expression very much
184
1465810
7140
24:32
nothing ventured nothing gained if you don't try something if you don't take
185
1472950
6120
24:39
that opportunity if you don't venture in that direction you will gain nothing
186
1479070
8130
24:47
sometimes you have to take the risk I know in my life I have taken one or two
187
1487200
5430
24:52
risks especially when I've been changing the direction of my life so I've been
188
1492630
6030
24:58
doing this but instead I try that sometimes it
189
1498660
7770
25:06
works sometimes it doesn't but as they say nothing ventured nothing gained if
190
1506430
10440
25:16
you don't try you don't find out I think that's a pretty good expression today we
191
1516870
7500
25:24
are talking about one or two things we are talking about body movements the way
192
1524370
5220
25:29
we express certain body movements the way you move your body or maybe an
193
1529590
6330
25:35
action that involves the movement of your body so that is one of the things
194
1535920
5430
25:41
we're going to talk about in the next half an hour also some think we all do
195
1541350
9740
25:51
something I'm pretty sure every person watching at the moment has done lie yes
196
1551090
10330
26:01
when you lie how do we describe that action we are going to look at that a
197
1561420
7890
26:09
little bit later on as well but first of all we are going to go back
198
1569310
5370
26:14
in time way back in time six years back to this day in 2013 to take a look at
199
1574680
10230
26:24
what was going on in my back garden
200
1584910
4730
26:30
hello and good morning welcome to day 18 of 31 days of dunked over the weekend is
201
1590570
9580
26:40
almost here are you excited I hope so as you can see I'm in my garden today I
202
1600150
7620
26:47
thought I would take the opportunity to enjoy this fine weather while it lasts
203
1607770
6060
26:53
because apparently the weather forecast for this area is pretty bad for the next
204
1613830
5460
26:59
few days it's going to rain so I thought why not come outside and have one last
205
1619290
9000
27:08
blast of sunshine
206
1628290
3290
27:12
hmm would you like a damson yeah I think they've gone a little bad now I have had
207
1632660
8889
27:21
a number of comments sent to me regarding day 13 of dunk Toba that is
208
1641549
5731
27:27
the one where I'm in the car yes you are correct we do drive on the left-hand
209
1647280
6180
27:33
side of the road here in England there are some other countries that do this -
210
1653460
5880
27:39
such as Australia and India it must look very strange to see someone driving the
211
1659340
6660
27:46
opposite way to everyone else right hand driving is normal in most other
212
1666000
6030
27:52
countries I remember when I was living in China that it took me a long time to
213
1672030
5310
27:57
get used to cycling the opposite way round to England it was at its most
214
1677340
5430
28:02
awkward when making turns after returning to the UK I had exactly the
215
1682770
6330
28:09
same problem adjusting to left hand driving of course these days I do not
216
1689100
6060
28:15
use the road at all so it is no longer an issue I prefer to walk or to be a
217
1695160
7889
28:23
passenger and let the driver worry about the road can you see all of the damsons
218
1703049
9120
28:32
that have fallen onto the ground now there are hundreds of them of course
219
1712169
5941
28:38
they can't be eaten now they are inedible
220
1718110
5390
28:55
I have received some messages asking me to show some of the surroundings where I
221
1735120
6120
29:01
live especially the town well you can see
222
1741240
4440
29:05
lots of shots of Much Wenlock in my Olympics lesson which is lesson 73 in
223
1745680
6030
29:11
that lesson I talk about the town and its connection for the Olympic Games
224
1751710
5450
29:17
Shropshire is a lovely place to live with great scenery and Shropshire is the
225
1757160
6490
29:23
least densely populated county in Great Britain the largest town in Shropshire
226
1763650
6450
29:30
is Shrewsbury the old name for Shropshire is Salib Shropshire is a
227
1770100
6480
29:36
landlocked County this means that its whole boundary connects with other
228
1776580
4800
29:41
counties Shropshire is the largest landlocked County in England what I love
229
1781380
6360
29:47
about living here is that you are very close to Wales in fact on a clear day
230
1787740
5250
29:52
you can see the Welsh Hills from my house many people were getting all
231
1792990
5280
29:58
excited about football earlier this week so I thought I would
232
1798270
3690
30:01
look at an idiom to do with balls the idiom is to take your eye off the
233
1801960
6450
30:08
ball if you have been distracted by something or you have lost concentration
234
1808410
5000
30:13
for a few moments then we can say that you took your eye off the ball you were
235
1813410
6040
30:19
not paying full attention you became distracted for a brief moment if you
236
1819450
6330
30:25
take your eye off the ball in a soccer match then the other team may take
237
1825780
4890
30:30
advantage of this and score a goal so the weekend is about to arrive what do
238
1830670
11010
30:41
you plan to do this weekend anything special lined up going
239
1841680
4590
30:46
somewhere maybe for some reason Friday seems to be most people's favourite day
240
1846270
5550
30:51
of the week I wonder which day is the least favourite can you guess
241
1851820
7190
31:05
mmm there we were going back in time six years ago can you believe it was six
242
1865860
5770
31:11
years ago I certainly can't believe it but I have to believe it because it's
243
1871630
5580
31:17
true so that was an excerpt from day 18 of October way back in 2013 but now we
244
1877210
11220
31:28
are back live yes it's live and it is English on a Friday hello to you lots of
245
1888430
7800
31:36
people talking about football because many football matches are taking place
246
1896230
5340
31:41
you may have noticed during the week quite a few football matches have been
247
1901570
4980
31:46
taking place in fact would you like to see mr. Steve and myself playing
248
1906550
6780
31:53
football in the garden really okay
249
1913330
6620
33:23
we are talking all about the subject of lying later on do you ever tell lies
250
2003060
7650
33:30
have you ever told a lie to someone has anyone ever lied to you
251
2010710
7800
33:38
telling lies is often seen as a negative thing however sometimes lies can
252
2018510
7690
33:46
actually be good find out what that's all about later on right now we are
253
2026200
6690
33:52
talking about body movements ways in which your body can move types of
254
2032890
5760
33:58
movement that have descriptions quite often body movements can be described as
255
2038650
7770
34:06
an action so maybe something you are actually doing with your body or a part
256
2046420
6030
34:12
of your body steady so body movements we are going to look at some words and of
257
2052450
8550
34:21
course the actions also have other uses as well let's have a look at the first
258
2061000
6000
34:27
one right now the first one is oh very nice
259
2067000
8600
34:36
pinch pinch now this is an action this is a violent action so if you punch
260
2076860
9549
34:46
quite often you will move in that way so a punch when we talk about punch we
261
2086409
12541
34:58
often use our fist to hit something or someone you might punch the wall you
262
2098950
11940
35:10
might punch a pillow or you might punch your next-door neighbor when he plays
263
2110890
8400
35:19
his music too loud punch also punch can mean to make a hole in something so if
264
2119290
8280
35:27
you punch a hole it means you use force to create a hole
265
2127570
6990
35:34
you punch a hole and also punch is a type of drink which is made of different
266
2134560
7170
35:41
types of alcohol all mixed together quite often also you will put fruit
267
2141730
5400
35:47
juice something sweet into the drink as well so punch is also a type of drink so
268
2147130
8430
35:55
punch make a hole punch or a drink that is served
269
2155560
9000
36:04
normally alcoholic drinks another word very similar to the previous one strike
270
2164560
12060
36:16
strike is also a movement movement with your body so if you strike something
271
2176620
7740
36:24
quite often you will use part of your body to hit or to punch so strike is the
272
2184360
11610
36:35
action of one thing hitting another quite often a person will strike another
273
2195970
6960
36:42
person so you might describe punch as strike as well so if you punch someone
274
2202930
10560
36:53
we can say that you strike them you strike them on the nose or you've
275
2213490
7530
37:01
punched them on the nose so strike can mean hit
276
2221020
4560
37:05
also the word strike can mean to take industrial action if you stop working in
277
2225580
7830
37:13
protest so you go on strike so this word has more than one use so to hit someone
278
2233410
8100
37:21
or maybe if a bolt of lightning hits the ground it will strike so maybe something
279
2241510
11730
37:33
that is hit it has been struck which is the past tense of strike strike struck
280
2253240
9150
37:42
my next-door neighbor was struck by lightning
281
2262390
4850
37:47
strike struck is the past tense you can also hold your body in a certain
282
2267240
10470
37:57
position you can strike a pose so when you strike a pose it means you hold your
283
2277710
9300
38:07
body in a certain way quite often in a attractive way or something that is
284
2287010
9089
38:16
seductive you strike a pose pose you position your body in a certain way
285
2296099
11510
38:27
here's another one slap ooh especially the ladies this is for the women by the
286
2307609
10571
38:38
way because ladies when they get offended or upset will often slap
287
2318180
8179
38:46
someone in the face so if you slap someone it means your hand there it is
288
2326359
8141
38:54
how our hand will strike someone however normally the hand is open so not a fist
289
2334500
8640
39:03
but hand so you use your open hand to hit someone you slap them one thing
290
2343140
10400
39:13
hitting another thing can also be called slap so maybe two things slap together
291
2353540
9780
39:23
slap here's a great word and it really does sound like the action because when
292
2363320
7539
39:30
you slap someone the sound is slap slap I like it although I don't like getting
293
2370859
11881
39:42
slapped to be honest oh he's another one if you are feeling
294
2382740
6140
39:48
angry maybe you want to use your fingernails you will scratch someone so
295
2388880
9720
39:58
you will use your fingernails to leave marks on a person or maybe on an object
296
2398600
7860
40:06
you can scratch something with your fingernails or maybe you use something
297
2406460
6450
40:12
sharp like a knife something that you scratch you scratch something you leave
298
2412910
9240
40:22
a deep mark and of course the action of scratching someone with your fingers
299
2422150
7140
40:29
especially ladies once again when a woman gets angry
300
2429290
4410
40:33
especially nowadays because many women have very long fingernails if you upset
301
2433700
6840
40:40
a lady she might scratch your face or scratch your eyes out not literally that
302
2440540
8840
40:49
is an expression so if you scratch someone's eyes out
303
2449380
5050
40:54
it means you react in a very angry way quite often physically scratch mica says
304
2454430
11040
41:05
I have never slapped anyone I'm very glad to hear that
305
2465470
7050
41:12
here's another one point point so quite often if a person points you point so
306
2472520
10560
41:23
you use your finger to indicate direction or the position of something
307
2483080
6240
41:29
where something is so you point you use your finger to point of course it's
308
2489320
10050
41:39
worth mentioning that in some countries and in some cultures pointing is
309
2499370
5240
41:44
considered very rude I remember when I was in Malaysia and one of the first
310
2504610
6400
41:51
things I was told was never point with your finger never point anywhere because
311
2511010
7410
41:58
it's considered rude however if you do want to point it some
312
2518420
4260
42:02
more thing if you want to point it something or someone you can use your
313
2522680
4320
42:07
thermo so apparently in Malaysia if you want to point it something you can use
314
2527000
5960
42:12
your thumb not your finger point of course something that is sharp something
315
2532960
10090
42:23
that has a sharp edge or end normally something that comes to a sharp end is
316
2543050
8900
42:31
point point also in conversation if you are trying to get a certain thing across
317
2551950
7530
42:39
in a sentence you are trying to make your point so the point is the thing
318
2559480
7660
42:47
that you are trying to express we might ask a person what is your point
319
2567140
6240
42:53
and then you will express or explain the thing you are trying to say so point can
320
2573380
6840
43:00
actually be used in many ways location can also be pointed
321
2580220
8120
43:08
says yes mr. Duncan it's true it's Malaysian culture I know well I've been
322
2588340
7540
43:15
to Malaysia many times I've spent a lot of time in Malaysia so Point has many
323
2595880
8040
43:23
uses another one now oh yes here's another one another word and also
324
2603920
8340
43:32
another expression this shows movement tap so you
325
2612260
8210
43:43
tap something tap quite often with your finger so you will tap when you type we
326
2623609
10200
43:53
can say that you tap on the keyboards so you use your fingers your fingers are
327
2633809
7160
44:00
tapping they are striking the keys on the keyboard tap so this is an
328
2640969
9931
44:10
expression that shows body movement you might tap someone on the shoulder to get
329
2650900
7929
44:18
their attention so you tap someone tap so here is another word that has a lot
330
2658829
8430
44:27
of uses also if you want to get some water from a tap you will turn on the
331
2667259
8161
44:35
tap so a thing that is used as an outlet for water is also tap to break into
332
2675420
8639
44:44
something like a circuit or maybe if you want to listen in on a phone call you
333
2684059
6631
44:50
will connect a device to the wires we can say that you tap the phone line so
334
2690690
6569
44:57
you can listen to the conversations well here's an interesting one I like this
335

2737130
8069
45:45
your teeth it means to hold something closed or together with force quite
341
2745199
9451
45:54
often we clench things a way of easing pain or stress clench
342
2754650
6980
46:01
another one you might not realize that this is a body movement but it is block
343
2761630
6690
46:08
you can block someone quite often with your hand so maybe you block a person if
344
2768320
7090
46:15
they are coming towards you maybe they are about to hit you so you put your
345
2775410
4560
46:19
hand in front of you to block their punch or to stop them from getting near
346
2779970
7410
46:27
you so if you block something you stop a person from doing something block you
347
2787380
6660
46:34
block them of course block can be used in other ways as well maybe a person on
348
2794040
6270
46:40
the Internet is bothering you so you block them you stop them from
349
2800310
5550
46:45
contacting you by making them invisible and also making you invisible you block
350
2805860
8190
46:54
them here's another one oh this is a nice one I like this one
351
2814050
3990
46:58
this is one that you do when you agree with someone if you agree with a person
352
2818040
6980
47:05
you nod nod so the movement with your head is nod if you agree with someone we
353
2825020
13360
47:18
can not yes I agree you nod your head of course the opposite is shake so if you
354
2838380
13880
47:32
shake your head that means you disagree shake nod you nod your head in agreement
355
2852260
12760
47:45
oh here's another one this is the joint in your arm so here is
356
2865020
7040
47:52
your elbow your elbow this can also be a movement so you might hmm elbow someone
357
2872060
10420
48:02
you hmm give them the elbow so if you elbow
358
2882480
5670
48:08
someone it means you push them out of the
359
2888150
2340
48:10
way or you exclude them you push them away so elbow you push someone away
360
2890490
9320
48:19
using your elbow and of course the expression you give someone the elbow so
361
2899810
9670
48:29
if you give someone the elbow it means you exclude them you push them away
362
2909480
5580
48:35
you ignore them you give them the elbow knee now this is a joint in your leg so
363
2915060
11880
48:46
halfway up your leg there is a joint that allows you to walk me of course
364
2926940
6120
48:53
this can also be a movement so maybe you use your knee to hit someone you need a
365
2933060
7950
49:01
person you use your knee to hit a person quite often you will need someone in the
366
2941010
9090
49:10
stomach or maybe if you are a lady and maybe a man is getting too close to you
367
2950100
7650
49:17
you might need him in the balls it does happen and it's very effective kick he's
368
2957750
10980
49:28
the final one kick if you kick someone you use your foot to
369
2968730
4590
49:33
strike a person so if you kick someone you might kick them in the stomach you
370
2973320
5640
49:38
might kick them in the knee you might kick them in the head kick of course you
371
2978960
7770
49:46
can also kick a ball so kick is a body movement and also something that gives
372
2986730
8370
49:55
you excitement something that gives you pleasure can also be a kick so you might
373
2995100
6300
50:01
get a kick out of something something that gives you pleasure I really get a
374
3001400
5969
50:07
kick out of receiving your messages so to get a thrill or pleasure from

51:07
Ibrahim I'm okay thank you very much yes when you take a knee if you take a knee
385
3067860
9090
51:16

386
3076950
8580
51:25
used as a sign of respect or remembrance
387
3085530
5360
51:31
this is like self-defense vocabulary you're right Rolfie so when we say
388
3091160
6790
51:37
self-defense it means you protect yourself from
389
3097950
3690
51:41
attack maybe a person is trying to attack you maybe you have to use your
390
3101640
5520
51:47
body to defend yourself we call that self-defense self-defense
391
3107160
8930
51:56
hello - Luis I have some people from my village who live in the same state and
392
3116480
7030
52:03
they left 50 years ago do they live in Portugal I didn't know you came from
393
3123510
6690
52:10
Portugal Luis I did not know that isn't that strange I've only just realised
394
3130200
6810
52:17
that that you come from or originally you were in Portugal ok I'm ok today we
395
3137010
8580
52:25
are now going to talk about something we all do and
396
3145590
2840
52:28
then I will be going do you ever tell a lie lie something that we all do
397
3148430
6840
52:35
sometimes we have to do it we have no choice sometimes we lie to protect
398
3155270
6210
52:41
ourselves sometimes we lie to protect other people sometimes we lie because we
399
3161480
8520
52:50
don't want to be punished and sometimes we lie because we can't help ourselves
400
3170000
7400
52:57
there are people who lie all the time maybe their whole life is a lie they
401
3177400
8320
53:05
have a life that isn't real they lie about everything they live in a fantasy
402
3185720
7440
53:13
world they are a Fanta cyst rather like the world of walter mitty so have you
403
3193160
7320
53:20
ever heard of walter mitty he is a well-known liar
404
3200480
5720
53:26
here's another one now so if you lie what do you do you cheat
405
3206560
6010
53:32
so you cheat you lie if you lie you cheat it means you do something to
406
3212570
9390
53:41
mislead a person cheat of course cheat can also mean to go behind another
407
3221960
7290
53:49
person's back you do something without them knowing
408
3229250
3320
53:52
maybe you cheat on your wife or your husband you do something with another
409
3232570
8800
54:01
person you cheat oh dear and of course you can cheat when you're
410
3241370
9780
54:11
playing a game so if you cheat when you are playing a game
411
3251150
3450
54:14
it means you break the rules of the game you cheat oh I like this one
412
3254600
6630
54:21
OOP so this is a strange word to pronounce because you have the letter D
413
3261230
5730
54:26
and you and P all together do doop doop so the sound is almost like J so it's
414
3266960
13320
54:40
almost like you and in British English that's the way we
415
3280280
4559
54:44
pronounce it however in American English they will pronounce this as dupe so if
416
3284839
6541
54:51
you dupe someone it means you trick them you lie to them you mislead them you get
417
3291380
6989
54:58
them to do something that they didn't want to do you trick them
418
3298369
5311
55:03
so you dupe a person in British English and in American English you will dupe
419
3303680
7639
55:11
someone dupe another one deceive if you deceive someone again you trick them you
420
3311319
16361
55:27
lie to them you tell them something that isn't true
421
3327680
2879
55:30
maybe you give them a story about something that is not true you deceive
422
3330559
7321
55:37
them the action is called deception so deception is how we class the action of
423
3337880
10319
55:48
trying to deceive someone that's how we describe it it is deception you deceive
424
3348199
8280
55:56
someone pachu asks why do some people lie well as I said a few minutes ago
425
3356479
9450
56:05
there are many reasons why a person might lie to someone here's another one
426
3365929
7100
56:13
swindle swindle you will often hear this in British English you might find that
427
3373029
6881
56:19
this is more often used in British English if you swindle someone you trick
428
3379910
7230
56:27
them you do something behind their back you say something or do something to
429
3387140
5219
56:32
make them believe a thing that isn't true you trick them into doing something
430
3392359
7291
56:39
you swindled them quite often we use this when we are talking about money so
431
3399650
7230
56:46
if a person tricks you into giving them money we can say that they have swindled
432
3406880
7079
56:53
you they swindle a person can Swingle
433
3413959
5290
56:59
swindle their employer maybe they steal money from the company
434
3419249
6280
57:05
they work for they swindle someone ah here's a good
435
3425529
6901
57:12
one a good old biblical word betray you betray someone oh I like this word it's
436
3432430
8369
57:20
very strong this word so when you betray something it means you give a false or
437
3440799
7581
57:28
fake appearance so you appear like one thing but really you are like another
438
3448380
8260
57:36
person or you do something behind a person's back you do something to cheat
439
3456640
5790
57:42
them you do something against them you betray them I like that word that is a
440
3462430
7859
57:50
good one misson form here is a word that a lot of people are using at the moment
441
3470289
8310
57:58
when they are talking about certain things certain political things we might
442
3478599
6210
58:04
say that one person will miss inform another person they will tell them
443
3484809
5910
58:10
something that is not true so missing form to give false information if you
444
3490719
6961
58:17
give false information or maybe you publish false news mm-hmm you miss
445
3497680
7139
58:24
inform miss inform another one can't a very simple word there con if you con
446
3504819
12990
58:37
someone again you trick them you deceive them you get them to do something that
447
3517809
7770
58:45
they don't realize will do them harm or maybe something that is not real or true
448
3525579
5331
58:50
you con another person a person who does this can be described as a con artist so
449
3530910
9520
59:00
a con artist is a person who tricks people into buying things that are
450
3540430
5429
59:05
useless or maybe they a ask a person to pay too much money for a
451
3545859
5771
59:11
service they con you con here's another good one I like this word hoodwink
452
3551630
10920
59:22
ooh hoodwink again a very interesting word we are using some very interesting
453
3562550
8010
59:30
and intriguing words today if you had wink someone again it's very similar you
454
3570560
7049
59:37
mislead them you lie you get them to believe something that isn't true
455
3577609
5991
59:43
you had wink someone you were hoodwinked by the salesman that came to your door
456
3583600
9160
59:52
he got you to pay some money for something that was useless
457
3592760
3540
59:56
they hoodwinked you when you lie quite often you will hide hide something when
458
3596300
14610
60:10
you hide something you do something that you don't want other people to see like
459
3610910
13610
60:28
now so if you hide you lie you do something behind another person's back
460
3628450
8580
60:37
you try to keep something secret maybe some information that might hurt another
461
3637030
6610
60:43
person's feelings you hide the facts you hide the truth you lie something that is
462
3643640
13500
60:57
a lie can be described as untrue so something untrue is a lie it is
463
3657140
7830
61:04
something that is not true not real not fact it is untrue a person might tell
464
3664970
8910
61:13
you something that is untrue he told me that he was going to the pub with his
465
3673880
7530
61:21
friends but it all turned out to be untrue
466
3681410
6830
61:31
mm-hmm and finally something that is fictitious fictitious a fictitious thing
467
3691480
8590
61:40
is something that is not real so quite often in literature we will often use
468
3700070
6420
61:46
the word fiction so when we use the word fiction it means fictitious not real it
469
3706490
8760
61:55
has been made up it has been created it is something that has been created in
470
3715250
7349
62:02
someone's mind something is fictitious fictitious not true not real it is
471
3722599
10951
62:13
fiction the thing you have told me isn't real it's not true its fictitious you
472
3733550
8940
62:22
reside to me of course lying is not always a bad thing sometimes lying can
473
3742490
6840
62:29
be very useful maybe you are going to hold a surprise birthday party maybe you
474
3749330
6570
62:35
are going to surprise your mother or father with a surprise birthday party
475
3755900
4550
62:40
but you want to keep it a secret maybe you will have to lie so maybe you will
476
3760450
5649
62:46
have to tell them lies to get them in a certain place or maybe you have to tell
477
3766099
6121
62:52
them lies to hide the fact that you are about to throw a surprise birthday party
478
3772220
6540
62:58
for them so quite often we will lie for good reasons and we will call that a
479
3778760
7440
63:06
white lie white lie so white lie is a good lie so sometimes we lie because we
480
3786200
9300
63:15
want to protect other people or maybe we have something that we want to give them
481
3795500
4890
63:20
or Surprise them with so sometimes you have to lie to hide something that is
482
3800390
5850
63:26
good or nice or maybe if you want to protect someone's feelings maybe if you
483
3806240
7170
63:33
don't want to hurt them maybe your neighbor comes round and says
484
3813410
4000
63:37
oh do you like my new dress isn't it nice but you don't really like
485
3817410
6240
63:43
it you don't think it's really suitable so
486
3823650
3450
63:47
