Express Surprise & Shock - English Addict 43 - LIVE lesson/ Enjoy Learning / Sunday 23rd Feb 2020

it's a windy day here in the UK however however you are very welcome to join me

here we go again as I choke on a tic-tac it's English addict live on a

Sunday and yes you are more than welcome to join in we are live from the

birthplace of the English language

soon I will have to say goodbye soon I will have to wave to you as you

disappear into the distance oh hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England

how are you today are you okay I hope so are you happy are you happy I really

hope so first of all can I put my reading glasses on please can I put my

reading glasses on so I can see what I'm doing because at the moment I can't see

properly I am sorry about that it's my age that's better I can see you now

hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today now I can see

you clearly are you okay I hope so are you happy are you happy I really hope

you are happy today because I'm I don't know why I'm happy but I am happy I feel

I feel quite happy today I don't feel sad

I don't feel down I don't feel miserable I feel quite happy and excited do you

know why well it isn't Monday fortunately it's still the weekend

yes it's Sunday

mmm quite a lot to do today we have so many things to do

yes I'm not joking we have lots of things a packed show it is packed full

of all sorts of things today lots of things to talk about expressing shock

and surprise how do we express the feeling the emotion of being shocked and

surprised in the English language there are many ways of doing it and I am going

to show you all of those a little bit later on also I suppose I should mention

something quite serious coronavirus or covered 19 as many people are now

describing it is spreading around the world are you afraid of the coronavirus

are you worried about it where you are now I know the latest news mentions that

it is now in South Korea quite seriously now in South Korea yesterday I was in

the chemists I went to the chemist yesterday or pharmacy so you can call

the chemist or pharmacy the place where you get your medicine and drugs from and

I yesterday I decided to buy some of this can you see it this is something

that you use for sanitizing your hands you will see it quite often in hospitals

if you come to the UK and you visit a hospital you will see lots of machines

that dispense or give out this particular substance it is called hand

sanitizer and as its name suggests it sanitizes your hands it kills all of the

bugs in all of the germs on your hands well most of them anyway so none of

these will actually get rid of all the viruses

bacteria however I think they get rid of 99.9% of all of the germs and bacteria

so that is something worth mentioning I suppose today because it is in the

news quite a lot so do you use this hand sanitizer so if you sanitize something

it means you make it completely clean it is clean it is free of germs and

bacteria in other words you don't have to worry about catching something from

other people or other things so maybe if you come into contact with other people

maybe you are in a place where there are lots of people maybe before and also

after you will put some of this on your hands to make sure there are no germs or

viruses because of course the corona virus as its name suggests is a virus so

this is something I bought yesterday and the strange thing is this particular

product has a very interesting smell it smells like it smells like bubblegum it

really does it has a sweet almost aromatic scent so this particular hand

sanitizer is actually hmm it has the fragrance of bubblegum very unusual I

don't know why so as I mentioned at the very start of today's lesson this is my

passport my actual British passport and this allows me to travel around well it

allows me to travel to many places around the world but it gives me the

freedom to move around Europe however from next month this passport will be

saying goodbye unfortunately we will be saying goodbye to our red European

Passport and the blue British passport will be

taking its place would you like to see the new passport okay I will show you a

picture so here you can see a picture of the the current passport so on the left

is the current passport the one I have and on the right you can see the blue

Passport so that particular passport is the new

passport and that will be issued to anyone who has a new passport from next

month so from March 2020 the blue Passport

which is the British passport will be taking over from the red passport which

is the European passport so I guess you can say that the effects of brexit are

now officially being felt oh dear so that is happening do you have a passport

what about traveling from your country is it easy to travel around the world

from where you live is it easy for you to hop on a plane and travel to other

countries now a lot of people believe sometimes correctly and sometimes

incorrectly they believe that the British passport allows you to travel

anywhere without a visa however that is not true so even though I hold the

British passport or a European passport it doesn't allow me to travel to any

country in the world there are still many countries where I have to have a

visa before I can get into the country for example China is a good example so

if you want to go to China you have to apply you have to go to the Chinese

embassy and apply for a visa to get into China and I suppose oh another one is

Turkey as well you need a visa to get into Turkey however

there is a little arrangement that I discovered when I went to Turkey I

discovered that you can actually buy a visa there at the airport they will sell

one to you which is very unusual to be honest so normally you have to get your

visa before you go to another country so you don't just need your passport you

also need a visa as well a visa to get into the country and there are many

countries around the world that have visas hello to the live chat I haven't

mentioned the live chat yet hello to you I have to apologize

I have a big apology to make from the bottom of my heart can I say sorry very

sorry to pal Mira don't ask me how don't ask me why because I don't have any clue

why this happened but something very terrible happened and it involves one of

my lovely viewers pal Mira are you there on the live chat today I

hope so can I just apologize for accidentally

blocking pal Mira don't ask me how I have a feeling it must be mr. Steve's

fault yes if in doubt blame mr. Steve I think so

so I'm very sorry I apologize Pal Mira I hope you were there today on

the live chat I will check in the moment to make sure

you were there so I'm very sorry pal Mira for blocking you I didn't mean to

it wasn't my fault I have a feeling it was mr. Steve with his big fingers

because mr. Steve quite often will will use his fingers on my mobile phone

during the livestream and quite often his big fingers will push too many

buttons so I have a feeling it might mr. Steve's fault so once again

apologies to Palmero for being blocked from my from my youtube channel and also

my livestream I'm very sorry about that I have something to cheer you up would

you like to see something nice to take away the pain of being blocked from my

channel oh here we go oh here's something nice oh in my garden now this

is something that I filmed a few moments ago in my garden and you can see there

there are some daffodils growing in the garden yes I'm so excited one of the

many reasons why I'm happy today is because the actual daffodils are in the

garden growing spring is officially on the way however it is quite windy

outside and you can see that some of my daffodils are being blown around quite a

lot because we have a lot of storms a lot of strong wind you can also see in

that video clip you can see there is a lot of water in my garden so many areas

around where I live are actually underwater it's true I'm not joking so

there you go I hope you enjoyed that I am so happy because spring is in the air

yes it is just around the corner even though I do feel a little bit sad

because I have to say goodbye to my red passport next month the blue brexit

passport will be issued for a March which is next month just around the

corner in fact hello to the live chat okay I haven't forgotten you hello - oh

long time on the live chat is that true have you been busy doing something else

hello also o UN do young watching in Vietnam and also yes pal Mira is back

did you hear my apology did you see it did you hear it I'm very sorry for

blocking you I'm pretty sure it is mr. Steve's fault in fact that's what I'm

going to do I'm going to blame mr. Steve it's his fault okay

shall we all agree on that so pal Mira is back thank goodness it is nice to see

you back here

oh that was really close I really didn't think that I had done something terrible

but I think it was mr. Steve in fact Belarus er is here good news Belarusian

guess what my toothache has magically disappeared

I had toothache last week and I did ask for advice on Friday

however it's gone I don't know how or why by my toothache has completely

disappeared so maybe it was Belarus ears advice maybe Belarusian has some sort of

psychic power maybe Belarusian can heal people's teeth

just by thinking about them I like it what a superpower that would be rabi

says hi also Hiroko hello - Hiroko nice to see you here as well Tomic hello

Tomic it seems like a long time since I saw you as well on the live chat where

have you been beet tree is hello mr. Duncan happy

Sunday from Argentina it is sunny in Argentina it isn't too bad in here

however outside it is quite windy it is windy but sunny outside and there you

can see a little bird oh he's gone now a little bird flying around so there is

the view right now out of my window it isn't looking too bad today the weather

is nice windy but very cold it is freezing outside I don't know why but it

is very cold by the way you can catch my live streams on Sunday Wednesday and

also Friday from 2 p.m. UK time that is when you can catch me live

yes I am live three times a week I might be the busiest YouTube English teacher

in the world I might be I'm not sure maybe maybe not who knows hello well so

- Silvana hello Silvana nice to see you here on

the live stream we are talking about words and expressions connected with

shocked and surprised when was the last time you received a shock or a surprise

have you ever been surprised or shocked by something you've heard or seen as has

something shocked you in the past hello Revere nice to see you here today

hello Anna and also Kweli or queerly nice to see you as well shin Chow chin

Chow which is hello in Vietnamese Xin Chao to you as well hello um also Irene

Wow so many people already thank you very much for joining me today

I am overwhelmed I am shocked to see so many people here already thank you very

much for joining me on the livestream hello also Christina hello everybody and

of course mr. Duncan I am worried about the Italian situation because we have

many cases of coronavirus in schools oh sorry no schools are closed in Milan

so yes the corona virus is spreading around and it would appear that lots of

places are getting or reporting cases so if you have a case of something it means

an occurrence of an event or situation so maybe you have a case of corona virus

it means you have it or it is occurring somewhere so you might say that there

are cases of corona virus which means it is happening and I bought this yesterday

so this is hand sanitizer you use it to sanitize your hands after

you've been in contact with other people or in public places so this is something

I'm carrying around with me I'm not sure if it's relating to the coronavirus or

maybe I just decided to buy it yesterday for no reason so I'm not really too

concerned to be honest I'm not too concerned at the moment we will see what

happens next Thank You Christina for your concern

about the situation where you are Eric hello Eric Peng nice to see you here as

well JC Jordi it is my pleasure to see and

hear you in this lively carnival Sunday all around Brazil oh I see you are

having big celebrations in Brazil at the moment I must be honest with you can I

just say something here I love to see celebrations I like to see people

dancing and enjoying themselves especially in large groups which might

go against the thing that I just mentioned about coronavirus because in

many countries they are saying that large crowds should not gather together

however I love seeing festivals and celebrations and I know in Brazil there

are many celebrations that take place however I was watching al-jazeera last

night I do like to watch different TV channels and I was watching al-jazeera

and they had some lovely footage some video footage that showed the an Arabic

celebration so a lot of people were dancing around and doing very

interesting dances and I was absolutely mesmerised by it I don't know why but I

loved it and I thought I wish I could watch that all the time so there with

these pleas that there were men dressed in their traditional Arabic clothing and

they were doing these very interesting dances and I was I was quite mesmerised

by it I thought it looked quite lovely and charming

so yes something I saw on television last night so I love celebrations

whatever they are if you are celebrating something today let me know okay and

then I can get even more excited in a few moments we have well we have mr.

Steve here but he isn't here if that makes sense so in a few moments we do

have mr. Steve in the studio however he isn't here all will be revealed in a few

moments at OU at 3 o'clock by the way we are going to have a coffee break so

prepare something get ready you can go into your kitchen maybe you can watch me

on your mobile device in your kitchen because at 3 o'clock I am going into the

kitchen and I'm going to make a cup of coffee there it is there is the kitchen

waiting for me so that is the view in the kitchen and we will be going in

there at 3 o'clock to make a lovely refreshing cup of tea how about that

does that sound like a good idea there is so much to do today so much hello

Maura wah hello Maura wah nice to see you here today

hand yells protect against bacteria and yes they contain alcohol so alcohol is

very good its sterilizing in killing germs and viruses so yes these types of

hand sanitizer contain a lot of alcohol including this one so I think the reason

why this smells like bubblegum I think it is to hide the smell of the alcohol

so yes it's actually quite nice it smells like bubblegum very nice

hello also to pal Mira yes I am obsessed with this chat well

it's so nice to see you back here and once again I know it so sorry for

blocking you ever so sorry and Irene is here also we have on

Mohammed Ali hello Mohammed Atef Ali I like your name

hello also too sassy hello sassy mr. Duncan when are you

going again live in the evening now at the moment I won't be doing live streams

at night because there are many things going on in my life away from YouTube so

that's all I'm saying but one or two people have asked if I

can do my livestream late at night however sometimes it isn't possible so I

apologize for that for now blue bird hello blues bird I

haven't seen you for a long time apparently there was supposed to be a

big festival in Venice and apparently it has been canceled because of coronavirus

so it would appear that in many countries the corona virus is affecting

lots of celebrations and also gatherings as well so some very worrying news

coming from South Korea yesterday so there are some cases of corona virus now

in South Korea hello your oh I like your kitchen your house is very cozy

something is cozy if something can be described as cozy it means it is

comfortable it is a place where you feel welcome and a place that makes you feel

relaxed so a cozy atmosphere means comfortable so cozy comfortable

welcoming something that makes you feel relaxed maybe you sit in a lovely chair

in a room that has an open coal fire and the flames are flickering in front of

you and everything is lovely and cozy so I like that word yes cozy Belarusian

says some germs are good for your health that is true yoghurt for example there

certain types of yogurt that you can take to help your stomach so yes there

are good germs and bad germs that is true I agree with you

ciao mr. Duncan I hope nobody has caught the corona virus I tried to catch it but

it's so small I can't see it says satury no oh I see what you mean so you were

trying to catch it actually like that so sometimes we can use the word catch to

mean capture so if you catch something it can mean capture so maybe you catch a

ball in your hand so you can catch something by grabbing it or holding it

so you can catch something also by having it transmitted to you such as a

virus or a cold or fever so things can be caught you can catch something with

your hand or catch something that infects your body I like that hello also

too Najim hello Najim nice to see you here

watching in Turkey I mentioned Turkey earlier now I've been to Turkey twice a

lovely country I love the Turkish tea and also also the Turkish coffee

I like it very much I'm a Hiroko I can see the broadcast of your channel for

the first time hello Amy Amy ha Corrie hello to you and welcome

if it is your first time please let me know and I will give you a special round

of applause so um Trump is here as well yes oh I see

chat nice to see you you are very welcome

it is I can't believe I'm doing this here he is ladies and gentlemen give a

big warm round of applause to mr. Steve

hello hello mr. Doug Caen now you don't have to shout okay

please mr. Steve don't shout okay please don't shout

I'm sorry mr. Steve but I get a mr. Duncan mr. Duncan my name's mr. Steve

isn't it I'm so excited today mr. Duncan because

I'm joining you again on the livestream hello viewers what is happening on the

live chat is anything happening on the live chat well I don't know mr. Steve do

you want to have a look at the live chat well you know mr. Duncan I always get

very excited about the live chat mr. Duncan are we going to talk about cars

today no we're not but mr. Duncan I love talking about cars have you seen the new

the new Renault the new Renault yes the new Renault it's a very ugly car mr.

Steve you can't say things like that stop saying controversial things you

always do this every time you come on the livestream you always say things

that annoy people I'm sorry mr. Duncan I can't help it I'm

just expressing myself okay mr. Steve we're not going to talk

about cars today unfortunately Oh mr. mr. Duncan I want to talk about

cars you know I like them very much especially big red cars oh okay then

well I know you like red cars mr. Steve especially big red cars oh okay

shall we talk about politics instead okay mr. Duncan III don't like brexit i

I think brexit is a terrible idea I really don't like it and those

politicians are always lying mr. Steve you can't say that you can't say that

I'm sorry mr. Steve you can't say things like that you're not allowed to say

things like that see this is the problem when you have mr. Steve on the

livestream he always says things that he shouldn't

so I'm sorry mr. Steve you have to go now but but I want to stay mr. Duncan I

like being here I like being here very much

can we talk about cars again no we can't you have to go now okay bye

mr. Steve bye everybody bye bye okay that's that's that out the way hmm

mr. Steve will be back next week I'm pretty sure that he will be here for

real however for those who are missing mr. Steve for those who are missing mr.

Steve this is just for you

you see I did that because I know a lot of people miss mr. Steve when he's not

around so that's the reason why I did that

Thank You mr. Steve actually we might do this every week we might have this mr.

Steve so we have this mr. Steve every week that's what I think I think we

should have this mr. Steve instead of the real one that's what I think anyway

what about you when you travel abroad do you have to have a visa when you travel

to other countries maybe if you are coming to the UK perhaps you have to

have a visa now they are changing the rules here in the UK because of brexit

and because of our new government they've decided to make things much more

difficult if you are planning to come here to the UK so they are going to make

some rules that you have to follow if you want to come to the UK to study or

leave or work and one of them is English so to come to the UK in the future if

you want to to come here to study or visit for a long period of time or maybe

you want to come here to work you have to have a good level of English so there

will be no conversation about maybe I can stay here and learn English now they

won't allow you to do that in the future so many of the rules here in the UK are

changing because of brexit and one of them is if you want to come to the UK

your level of English must be high or good so there is another reason another

good reason for tuning in to my English classes so you must have good level of

English Christina says I always have a visa

when I'm going around the world so quite often if you travel around you might

need a passport in fact you will need a passport I'm very sure

of that but you will also need a visa if you visit certain countries one of the

hardest places in the world to live in or to get into is Australia so for many

years it was actually quite easy to get into Australia the rules were were quite

relaxed for a period of time however they've changed once again and now it is

much more difficult to actually get residency in Australia and soon here in

the UK it will be very difficult as well I don't need a visa to travel to another

Central American country except Costa Rica that's interesting Eric so you can

travel around Central America with your visa your passport without having a visa

interesting after BRICS it you also have Mex it can I just say that not many

people are really bothered about what's happening in the royal family it would

appear that we are bothered but in fact most people really couldn't care less

what is happening to be honest I think people have become a little bored and

cynical when it comes to things like the royal family and what is happening so I

think a lot of people are sick of hearing about it they are saying please

stop talking about these subjects we don't want to hear about them anymore

including mr. Steve what do you think mr. Steve well I think it's stupid

really I don't want to hear about these things you know you know what what I

mean I know what you mean I know what you mean mr. Steve poor mr. Steve hello

Pat chew Pat you is here nice to see you here as well a lot of people on the live

chat so we have our new new passport next month unfortunately it will be

coming blue it will become blue would you like to have a look at the new

passport again so there it is so that will be the new passport now can I just

say that many years ago the UK passport was blue and that's the

reason why we are going back to the blue press sport that's the reason why the

passport will be blue again because a lot of people in the past a lot of

people felt that maybe we should have the blue crest sport again to remind us

of the good old days that by the way is not necessarily my opinion that isn't

necessarily what I think that's what other people are saying okay hello to

the vin pom hello vin pom min nice to see you here I think your name is new

maybe it is your first time on the live chat in which case welcome welcome to

the UK it's a lovely place to be look there it is

that's the UK right now that's what it looks like is it interesting I don't

know hello Sambu Sam boo

sissy Co Co Co Co Co oh hello to you how much does a UK passport cost I think

well this is a passport that I renewed so I renewed this Passport

about a year ago and this was about I think it was about 75 pounds quite

expensive so if you want to get your passport renewed or you want to get a

new passport they are actually quite expensive so this particular press board

that I got one year ago was 75 pounds however the good news is the passport

lasts for ten years so this particular passport will stay valid I can use this

for 10 years I'm not sure what the effect of brexit

will be so whether brexit means that I can't use this

anymore I'm not sure at the moment so perhaps I will have to change this to a

blue one we will have to wait and see anyway the new passports are arriving

next month in the UK there will be some new passports they will be blue in

colour some people feel very happy about it

whilst others do not they do not feel happy about it at all I have been

enjoying something over the past few days I have become completely crazy

about a certain character from literature I think my thumbnail might

give you a clue have you seen it the thumbnail that is advertising today's

live stream there is a certain character a well-known character from literature

English literature who I have become quite enamored with quite a fan of and I

will give you a clue the author of the stories concerning this particular

character is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle I'm sure you will know who I'm on about now

and I'm sure if you like reading books and stories and mystery novels you will

be very very sure of who I'm going to mention yes we are talking all about

Sherlock Holmes I have become completely crazy about Sherlock Holmes over the

past few weeks and one of the reasons is because I've rediscovered a TV program

that was on in the 1980s and early 1990s called

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and it's amazing and I think I might be

addicted to watching Sherlock Holmes on TV so it it's really got me in the mood

for reading some of the books because I the books many years ago when I was at

school so we did actually study the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle famous

for his car to Sherlock Holmes and I am and now I'm

now actually crazy about it so over the years many people have

played Sherlock Holmes including this guy so this is a man who played Sherlock

Holmes in the Golden Age of cinema his name was Basil Rathbone and he was

possibly one of the first popular actors to play the part of Sherlock Holmes

however for me there is only one guy there was only one man as far as I'm

concerned who can play Sherlock Holmes and he did it so well do you want to see

him here he is now his name was Jeremy Brett an amazing British actor very

famous for appearing in other films but nowadays most people know him as playing

the part of Sherlock Holmes in a very popular television show that ran for

over 10 years and on the right you can see an actor called Edward Hardwick who

played Sherlock Holmes assistant dr. Watson so for those who are familiar

with Sherlock Holmes I'm sure you know all there is to know about him so

Sherlock Holmes is fictional he's not real however there are many people who

believe that he is real in fact you can actually go to his house in Baker Street

in London so there is a place now that that is it 22 B Baker Street which of

course in the books was Sherlock Holmes address that's where he lived in in the

stories so I must be honest with you I am quite enamored I am crazy about

Sherlock Holmes I have become reacquainted

with the stories now the original stories were published as novels they

were long stories however Sir Arthur Conan Doyle realized that his stories

were so popular he started publishing short stories concerning Sherlock Holmes

and his investigations in the Strand newspaper so there was a popular

newspaper called The Strand and inside that paper there were short stories

published concerning Sherlock Holmes so even all that time ago there were many

people who loved Sherlock Holmes lots of reaction already I've only just

mentioned Sherlock Holmes and a lot of people have already mentioned him hello

- broken boy hello broken boy nice to see you here today why are you taping my

conversations Pedro what do you want oh dear I don't know what that's all about

I don't know hello - marina who says I have visited his house in Baker Street

so this is one of those strange things where something from fiction has has

come into reality isn't it strange so this is not just something that exists

on a film set or on a studio set it's actually in London itself so if you go

to Baker Street in London if you go along Baker Street you will actually

find 22 B Baker Street the home of Sherlock Holmes who doesn't really exist

however if you can catch some of the TV shows concerning The Adventures of

Sherlock Holmes then I suggest you do here is another picture this is Jeremy

Brett once again portraying Sherlock Holmes with his trusty assistant dr.

Watson with him so Jeremy Brett is now considered to be

the diminutive the absolute reality of Sherlock Holmes he is now considered to

be the best actor and also the best portrayal of Sherlock Holmes and I have

to agree I must be honest I am absolutely mesmerised by his performance

and one of the interesting things about Jeremy Brett is he became so involved so

immersed in the character of Sherlock Holmes that he actually thought he was

Sherlock Holmes he didn't like to break out of the character especially when he

was filming the episodes so he always thought and behaved like Sherlock Holmes

so he really put himself into the character he really immersed himself in

the role in fact some people believe that it cost him a lot of mental stress

playing the part of Sherlock Holmes so the great actor sadly no longer around

he sadly died in I think it was 1994 he passed away and they were about to make

a new series of Sherlock Holmes episodes but unfortunately he passed away and it

never came to pass unfortunately he never came to be there

are some great quotes from Sherlock Holmes would you like to see a couple of

quotes okay here is one right now all that is familiar soon becomes

commonplace now in the early days of literature and certainly in the early

days of the English language being written you may have found certain ways

of describing events or situations and the word commonplace is actually very

very negative it is a very negative word so in this particular sense this

sentence is saying that familiar things familiar things

might give you excitement and joy however they soon become commonplace

which means they soon become dull and boring so that is actually a quote from

a Sherlock Holmes novel here is another one now I like this one now I think this

might be the most famous quote by Sherlock Holmes I am actually

paraphrasing this so please excuse me after eliminating all the possibilities

whatever remains however improbable or absurd must be the answer I love this

quote so this is something Sherlock Holmes would often say to Watson when he

was investigating a crime after eliminating all the possibilities

whatever remains however improbable or absurd must be the answer so the word

eliminate means to remove you remove something so you remove all the

possibilities and whatever is left whatever remains however improbable the

word improbable means something that can't happen or can't be done or

something that appears impossible after eliminating all the possibilities

whatever remains however improbable or absurd must be the answer another great

quote from the great Sherlock Holmes even though he's not real I hope you

enjoyed that because I I can't but I can't remember the last time I became so

excited by something that I've seen or read and it's really taken over my brain

to be honest so I absolutely love the character Lena says a vitality Solomon

played the part of dr. Watson oh ok then vitality Solomon I

who that is I must say that I'm not sure who that is

it is an actor but I'm not sure who it is hello mr. Duncan did you watch a

Russian version of Sherlock Holmes played by oh okay then andrew is now

answering the question that I just asked apparently vitality Solomon was an actor

who played Sherlock Holmes I I did not know that but now I do so thanks for

telling me Andrew and also Lena as well Christina says the second quote is good

yes I love the second quote one of Sherlock Holmes most famous quotes and

of course quite often he would also say elementary dear Watson elementary

something that is elementary is something that comes easily something

that you can obtain that comes easily maybe you learn something easily maybe

there is a subject that is very easy to learn so something that is easily learnt

is elementary and that is something that Sherlock Holmes used to say to his

assistant dr. Watson my dear Watson it's elementary it is easy it is simple it is

not difficult it is Elementary very nice now GM says mr. Duncan you have become

you have motivated me to watch Sherlock Holmes over the years there have been

many people who have played or portrayed Sherlock Holmes including Basil Rathbone

he portrayed Sherlock Holmes many years ago I think during the 1950's forties

and fifties so there are many feature films with Sherlock Holmes played by

Basil Rathbone and later on there have been many people who have played

Sherlock Holmes I think Sean Connery I'm sure Sean Connery appeared in a

Sherlock Holmes film but I don't think he played Holmes I think he played

Watson and then of course there is Benedict Cumberbatch who played Sherlock

Holmes in the BBC TV series can I be honest with you because you know I like

to be honest whenever I can can I be honest with you and say I did

not like Benedict Cumberbatch in the BBC show

Sherlock I didn't like it I didn't like the modern twist or the modern approach

to the stories so I am I am a little bit of a traditionalist when it comes to

Sherlock Holmes so that's probably why I like watching the Jeremy Brett version

and there are many episodes I think some of them are on YouTube so if you put

Jeremy Brett into your search engine on YouTube and maybe put Sherlock Holmes as

well next to his name you will find that there might be some episodes of Sherlock

Holmes for you to watch nice um from Sherlock Holmes yes that is true well

done oh thank you Ungh Ungh says Sherlock Holmes was killed off yes it's

true Sir Arthur Conan Doyle got so so bored writing Sherlock Holmes stories he

actually stopped he wanted to stop so he killed Sherlock Holmes in one of his

stories I think it was called his last case or that all the finals case the

final case I'm sure it was the last one and in that particular story Sherlock

Holmes fell to his death at a waterfall and with him fell his arch enemy so he

did have an enemy in many of his stories there he is

professor so Moriarty oh dear professor Moriarty

is a baddie and he would often cause problems for professor sorry for

Sherlock Holmes and dr. Watson so Professor Moriarty was the villain he

was the bad guy and he appeared in quite a few Sherlock Holmes stories however

Arthur Conan Doyle decided to kill Sherlock Holmes he died with Professor

Moriarty they both fell from a waterfall they fell in to the water and it was

assumed that they both drowned however because of pressure from all of

his readers he actually resurrected Sherlock Holmes so Sherlock Holmes came

back so Sir Arthur Conan Doyle decided to carry on writing he he wrote more

Sherlock Holmes stories so yes very interesting so for a while Sherlock

Holmes was dead but then he came back because he was so popular hello

Christina did you know Nigel Bruce was performing Watson yes Nigel Bruce was

one of those amazing actors who would pop up he would appear in many films

quite often he would play a comedy role he was very good at being funny and here

in the Basil Rathbone films Nigel Bruce played the part of dr. Watson and quite

often he would play it in a rather funny way he would be a little careless or

bumbling so yes his his portrayal of Watson was quite different however in

the TV show that I was talking about with Jeremy Brett the the portrayal of

Watson is is much more serious much more serious Thomas

says Mr Duncan it is tying for your tea break you are right yes I don't know

about you but I'm thirsty it is now well it's just after three o'clock

shall we go into the kitchen would you like to come with me into my kitchen

where we can have a little drink would you like to I think that is a brilliant

idea so my kitchen awaits I will make sure my

microphone is working in the kitchen before I disappear and I will also take

my phone as well so I can carry on looking at a live chat isn't this

amazing so it's time to have a cup of tea or maybe a cup of coffee maybe a

cold drink if you are feeling thirsty so now let's go into the kitchen and have a

cup of coffee and you are more than welcome to join me let's go

of people comment on my clothing they say mr. Duncan we like your white shirt

and your tie it really does suit you thank you very much for your lovely

comments I do appreciate it oh hello there mr. Bruno is here mr. Bruno is

here right now apparently mr. Bruno loves the stories surrounding Sherlock

Holmes however he doesn't like the museum the Sherlock Holmes Museum

apparently he says it is a little bit boring Wow okay then thank you Luis

Mendez so we are now in the kitchen what I'm going to do is make a cup of coffee

so you are welcome to join in as well we can have a lovely hot or cold beverage I

like that word if you have a beverage it's another way of saying drink so you

can have a hot beverage or maybe you can have a cold beverage it means something

that is chilled like a glass of water or maybe a glass of fruit juice or

something hot which is what we are going to do right now

so I'm going to put my kettle on so please excuse me so I will be doing some

things over there so you can have a drink as well if you feel like having a

lovely from freshing drink you can refresh yourself with a cup of tea or a

cup of coffee

hello to Eric it is a little dark in there is it really I'm sorry about that

is that better can you see me now I know that the

weather today is very strange because the Sun keeps coming out and then

suddenly it goes back in so I hope you can see me now

can you see me all right am i clear I hope so yes it is slightly dark for

which I apologize let me just see if I can make it lighter mmm just going to

see if I can make this just a little bit lighter ah is that better oh I think

actually I think that is much better is that better

can you see me better now am i clearer I really really hope so hello mr. Duncan

where is your range hood I don't have a range hood I don't have anything

covering my stove because my stove is electric so my stove does not use gas it

uses electricity because we don't have gas here so where I live there is no gas

there is no gas supply so instead we have to use oil instead

unfortunately so my my stove is actually powered by electricity I know I know

what you're going to say mr. Duncan it is not environmentally friendly

unfortunately we don't have gas supply here so I've put the kettle on so the

kettle will slowly boil you might hear it Lana says I thought Sherlock Holmes

was real well you might not be the only person who thinks that because there is

such a large following of Sherlock Holmes even now even many many years

after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died and yes it's strange he is almost become

real mythical I like that word mythical so I think some people describe

Sherlock Holmes as being mythical a mythical character just see that lighter

is that better yes I think the problem in my kitchen

today is that it isn't very light

maybe that is better is that better can you see me clearly now I apologize if it

looks dark maybe I should get a torch so I'm going to have a cup of coffee so

please excuse me and going over there to make a cup of coffee and this is a great

opportunity for you to also have a refreshing drink so excuse me excuse me

for a moment

coffee first of all well first of all you need coffee so I have some lovely

coffee here some nice americano coffee oh very nice

think it is from I want to say Colombia but I might be wrong because it doesn't

say you wouldn't you would think it would say it wouldn't you you would

think it would say where it is Joost how strange how strange is that

so let's put some coffee oh I don't know about you but I like a strong cup of

coffee very strong I like to taste the flavor I really do

this is a special kind of sugar I use brown sugar brown sugar there it is can

you see it it's very sweet and very delicious we also call this sugar

Demerara sugar so this is another type of sugar that is very sweet but it goes

very nicely with coffee if you put this in coffee it's lovely

it's really nice I like it I like it a lot do a little bit of milk in my coffee

I always have my coffee white I know some people like to have their coffee

back they don't have any milk in their coffee it at all however I always like

to put a little bit of milk in my coffee

so there it is and now all I have to do is add some hot water

and here is my secret here is how you make a really nice cup of coffee and you

can make it very quickly you can use one of these and this thing will stir your

coffee it will make it all frothy you can have frothy coffee so I use this as

I pour the water onto the coffee I will use this to make the coffee frothy nice

does look like cappuccino because I use my little machine to make the milk and

the coffee mixed together and it makes it it makes it go all frothy and foamy I

like it very much hmm and it tastes delicious drew by asks

have you ever had Darjeeling I like all types of tea in my kitchen I have Assam

I was younger I used to drink a lot of coffee to be honest with you nowadays I

only have one cup of coffee every day only one mr. Duncan please don't put too

much sugar in your tea or coffee I will try not to but the problem is I have a

very sweet tooth a very sweet tooth indeed what do you call the thing

floating in your cup the thing at the top is called foam foam

or we can also call it froth froth foam so when you make your coffee you can mix

the coffee and the milk together and you get foam or froth so there is a type of

coffee called cappuccino which normally has froth on the top so yes that's what

we call it you can call it foam or you can call it froth as well by the way if

you want to see captions for this live stream you can you can press C on your

keyboard if you want to have live captions you can I suppose I should have

told you that earlier I suppose so we are looking at words and phrases

connected to surprised and shocked have you ever received a horrible surprise or

a bad shock have you have you ever received news that has made you shocked

has something happened to you that has made you surprised hello Camille Camille

nice to see you I am watching in Poland can I just say the new British passport

is going to be made in Poland so the blue Passport

that we will be changing to after we leave Europe is actually going to be

made in Poland I'm not even lying I'm not even joking about that it's true

Thank You Aung yes froth froth so if you have lots of bubbles if something is

mixed together very quickly you can you can actually get froth or foam on the

top of your coffee you are right hello priests TV hello priests TV nice

to see you here with me very nice so words and phrases

that can be used to express shock to express surprise so here we go shall we

have a look expressing surprise and shock there are many ways of expressing

surprise and shock so first of all let's have a look at the words shall we shop

well if a person is shocked if you have a shock it means to be disturbed or

surprised by something in a disturbing way so we can describe shock as

disturbed surprise so maybe something that surprises you but also makes you

feel uncomfortable or unhappy so quite often when we say shock I received a

shock today something unexpected and quite often it can cause you a lot of

emotional upset and distress so the word shock and then we have surprise surprise

means unexpected an unexpected event can be described as a surprise so something

you weren't expecting happen something that came along that you weren't

expecting however it wasn't something bad or awful quite often a surprise can

be something nice something Pleasant something that makes you feel good or

happy so quite often we use the word surprise to mean an unexpected event but

of course you can have a nice surprise maybe your friends give you a surprise

birthday party wow I wasn't expecting that

what a lovely surprise and of course you can also have a bad surprise so maybe

you can be surprised by something however it makes you feel unhappy quite

often we will describe that as shock so you might have something that surprises

you it creates a shock you weren't expecting it disturbed surprise is

shocked so you might feel shocked by something and you can see what I've done

here so the word shock and we can add this to the end to describe the feeling

so you might feel shocked by something shocked I can't believe it

i-i've just received some terrible news I feel shocked by the news surprised

shocked you might feel shook or shaken by the

shock so a shock can actually shake you it makes you feel upset you can't

control your emotions because you feel so surprised shook I feel shook or

shaken which is the next word we will look at shaken so the past tense of

shake is shaken you were shaken by the news I can't believe what happened

I feel shaken I'm shook I was shocked to hear the news we could also say taken

aback you can be taken aback by something if you are taken aback by

something it means it is something that makes you so surprised and shocked you

can't believe it you can't believe what has happened I am taken aback

maybe you discover that your friend has got married to his sweetheart in secret

you might be taken aback by the news because it's shocking it's surprising

you can't believe it you have been can i back another one oh I like this

one stunned so we can have the word stun and

if you have been stunned it means you've been shocked you can't believe what has

happened you are stunned you have been stunned something stops you from doing

the things you want to do because you you are so shocked I'm stunned

so maybe you hear some terrible news from a friend or relative and shocked

shocked Jamelia says something very nice using

the computer is better than writing on pieces of paper mr. Duncan oh I'm glad

to hear that so this is something I've changed recently so now you will see

that many of the things that I talk about and explain are now on the screen

for you to look at instead of using pieces of paper so there you can see it

looks like it looks like I'm holding the paper but I'm not because it's inside my

computer stunned to be stunned by something have you ever been shocked or

stunned by some news I'm sure there are many moments that we can remember in our

lives where something has left us feeling shocked or shaken you might also

feel staggered staggered something you can't believe so quite often if we

describe something as making us feel staggered it means something

unbelievable something we can't believe that happened

I'm staggered staggered to hear it that news is staggering staggering news

shocking news will make you feel staggered you're watching live English

English addict on Sunday with me mr. Duncan I hope you are

enjoying your Sunday devastated maybe a member of your family dies maybe you

lose someone close to you maybe a person you have loved for many years passes

away they die you might feel devastated your life will

never be the same again because of losing that person you feel devastated

by it the death of a loved one can leave you feeling devastated the news might be

described as devastating devastating news leaves you feeling devastated

you might feel astonished by something something you hear that makes you feel

shocked can also make you feel astonished I'm astonished by something I

can't believe it it seems unbelievable it seems incredible it seems like

something that I can't believe has happened astounded you can be astounded

by something if you are if you are astounded it means again it means

something that leaves you feeling very surprised very shocked you can't believe

what has happened it has surprised you a lot we are now going to take a little

break but don't be too astonished don't be too surprised or shocked I will be

back with you in a moment however here is a clip from one of my lessons one of

my many lessons that you can find on my website yes I have a website now more

details about that after this excerpt from one of my full English lessons

we often use the phrase easier said than done when discussing a possible venture

or goal it would appear that it is easier to say something that actually do

it but why is that I'm sure you have done it in the past I know I have we

come up with a big plan or idea that we intend to do at some point but sadly it

never comes to fruition the word fruition means be made real or completed

it would appear that it is much easier to say you'll do something than to

actually do it the effort needed to start doing something is immense the two

things you really need are determination and motivation you must be determined

and motivated to be determined is the feeling of being resolute and

strong-willed motivation is the force that pushes you into doing something to

feel motivated is to be encouraged and spurred on the driving force that gets

you to your goal is motivation without determination and motivation it would

appear to be true that some things are easier said than done

as you know I love receiving your comments and questions and today I would

like to answer another one of your questions this question comes from

Xavier who lives in Spain and asks what are the differences between the words

across and through both of these words relate to movement to move across means

to move from one side to another as a preposition across shows the position of

movement she ran across the street as an adverb a cross can be used as an

expression of measurement in length the bridge is 100 feet across the word

across can also show position he lived across the road from me a cross word

answer that reads horizontally is defined as being across the word through

means to move in and out of something for example if you go into a forest and

come out the other side then you have gone through the forest

so through describes the action of moving among something to move forwards

among trees means you are moving through the trees as you move you pass things to

move through a forest or through bushes or through a crowd of people you can

move through something such as a doorway to step from one side to another is to

move through to go through or fall through to look from one side of

something out to another is look through he

looked through the window to see if anyone was at home to make a hole in

something means that you go through or you have gone through to inspect or

study something in part or whole is to go through I need to go through these

essays and check them for mistakes to be through means to finish or end something

the thing in question is finished and over I'm going to tell my girlfriend

that we are through in a contest the word through means to be chosen for the

next round or heat mr. Duncan you have made it through to the final so across

relates to direction while through tends to relate to movement and objects thank

you for your question Xavier and if you have a question for me to answer then

please feel free to drop me a line at my email address

I hope you enjoyed that an excerpt from one of my full English

lessons and yes I did announce on Friday there is going to be more there will be

when spring arrives I will go back outside and I will start making some new

full English lessons quite a few people have asked mr. Duncan we want some more

recorded lessons so that's what I'm going to do I'm going to do that so that

is what will be happening over the next few weeks hopefully as the weather gets

mmm I hope you are having a good weekend a super weekend it is Sunday and we are

coming towards the end we are coming towards the end of February

don't forget this month is short only 29 days so March is just around the corner

and as I mentioned earlier next month will see this disappear

the lovely red Passport of the European Union that we use here in the UK it will

be going away and it will be replaced by the Great Britain and Northern Ireland

passport which of course is being issued as we all get used to the new thing

called brexit some people are happy about it and some people are not happy

about it which are you which one are you we are

looking at words and phrases connected with being shocked or surprised here's

another good one I like this one have you ever been dumb founded I'm

dumbfounded maybe something happens maybe a certain group of people vote for

something and maybe their that the thing they vote for is something that you were

not fond of maybe something you didn't support yourself you might feel that the

result has left you feeling dumbfounded you can't even express how you feel you

feel dumbfounded by it something has left you feeling so shocked so surprised

that you can't actually express how you feel about it it has left you feeling

dumbfounded you might be traumatized by something this is very serious if you've

been through a very difficult situation if you've experienced something that is

traumatic so a traumatic thing is something that is

hard to face maybe an awful situation so you might be a member of the military

and you go away on service and you see lots of things that leave you feeling

traumatized you feel shocked you feel disturbed maybe you suffer problems

after you return back to the country where you've originated from so as you

return home you might feel traumatized by the things you saw and maybe the

things you had to do overwhelmed you can be overwhelmed by emotion you can be

overwhelmed by kindness so overwhelmed is the feeling of maybe losing your

emotions you are overwhelmed you don't know what to say once again you can't

believe that something has happened you feel overwhelmed by the situation or the

event it has left you feeling quite overwhelmed here's another one oh I like

this one here is one that we often use in British English so here is a word

that means surprised or shocked and it is one that we use in British English

here it is now flabbergasted I love this word I like this I think this is one of

the best words to use when you feel shocked or surprised by something I

can't believe it I'm I'm flabbergasted flabbergasted it's a great word however

we don't really know where it came from so there is no way of finding out where

this word came from because we don't actually know the origin of this word is

unknown we don't actually know where it came from to be flabbergasted you are

surprised you are shocked you can't believe it

I'm flabbergasted you hear something you can't believe has happened something has

shocked you so much you feel flabbergasted you feel amazed by

something now to be amazed is not really shocked however it might be surprised so

to be amazed by something is to be enthralled or maybe you are really

interested in that particular thing you are amazed by it it makes you feel

amazed the thing you look at is amazing maybe you see something that is

beautiful maybe a natural event or an occurrence maybe you see the sunrise in

the morning and the sunrise is amazing and you feel amazed by it something that

you weren't expecting you are so shocked and surprised by it

it makes you feel surprised amazed it is amazing here's a phrase that we certain

sometimes use you can be knocked for six if you are knocked for six it means you

are stunned by the thing that's happened you are so surprised by it I am stunned

I'm shocked I can't believe it I am NOT for six I think this originated in

cricket I think this has something to do for cricket or with cricket so I think

this particular phrase is connected with the game of cricket so if you are

knocked for six I think it means you just feel stunned by something you can't

believe what has happened bricks it has left a lot of people feeling knocked for

six they can't believe it has happened it's made a lot of people feel quite

surprised and

gobsmacked oh I like this word this is great if you are gobsmacked you are so

surprised by something I can't believe that this thing has happened I can't

believe it's occurred I feel gobsmacked if you are gobsmacked

you are stunned so quite often we will use this in we will use this in British

English so quite often we will say that we are gobsmacked when we hear something

or experience something that we can't believe has happened I can't believe

that you've told me that I can't believe mr. Duncan has got married I am

gobsmacked gob smacked the word gob by the way can you see it there gob that is

a slang word for mouth so gob is slang term it is a slang word that means mouth

quite often we use that in British English so in British English we will

often say gob to mean mouth so if you are gobsmacked it means you can't speak

you can't reply you you don't know what to say

you are completely gobsmacked I like that one here's another one another

physical one you might be knocked off your feet

if you feel knocked off your feet it means you are shocked or surprised

something is so shocking you feel knocked off your feet knocked off your

feet the thing that happened came along unexpectedly you didn't expect it to

happen it has knocked you off your feet you feel so shocked to be knocked off

your feet we can also say knock someone off their feet you might

do something nice for another person you might go up to your girlfriend in the

park and you might propose marriage hello darling I know that we've been

together for many years today I would like to ask you a very

special question will you marry me will you be my wife I want you to be mine

forever and she might be knocked off her feet she might not believe it I can't

believe this is happening you knock someone off their feet you

give them a big surprise the thing is so surprising they can't believe it to

knock someone off their feet I suppose you can also have a sudden surprise so a

certain surprise is something that you weren't expecting once again so we use

the word sudden to mean unexpected so you weren't expecting it it is sudden

a sudden surprise so again maybe a birthday party maybe you go home and the

house is dark there are no lights on in the house but as you walk into the house

suddenly the lights come on and everyone shouts surprise

you have a sudden surprise something you weren't expecting it happened suddenly

without warning you weren't expecting it it came out of the blue I like this one

another good expression if something caught comes out of the blue it came

without warning something happened and you weren't expecting it something that

happened that you weren't expecting so when we say that something came out of

the blue we are really saying it came out of the sky

I it's almost as if it came out of the sky without warning it came out of the

blue so maybe you receive some news some unexpected news you might say that the

news came out of the blue I wasn't expecting that to happen it came

suddenly without warning it came out of the blue we have two more to show you

before we go yes I will be going in around 10 minutes so if you want to say

something now is the time to type your message on the live chat something

happens without warning as I just mentioned we can say that something

happened without warning something was sudden unexpected something that

happened without you being prepared so quite often if we receive a shock if we

receive a surprise quite often we like to know before it happens

because that's why we call it a shock a shocking thing is something you weren't

expecting you weren't prepared it came without warning you didn't receive any

notification you didn't receive any warning it came without warning the

thing happened unexpectedly and finally a shock or a surprise can be an

unexpected event something that is unexpected can be described as a shock

or a surprise something you weren't expecting so unexpected so you can see

the word expected so expected you are expecting so it will not be a surprise

however if it is unexpected it means it is a surprise so something that is

unexpected is a surprise or shock so an unexpected event is a thing that happens

that you did not know about you were not prepared for it

so I hope you've enjoyed those words quite a few there I think we had around

might eat very strange so there it is my hand sanitizer what about you are you

worried about catching corona virus or maybe you are worried about catching

anything some people are obsessed with their health to the point where they

they they worry all the time they become really worried about germs and viruses

and the things that are floating around in the air

they are germaphobes germaphobes a germophobe is a person who is afraid of

catching an illness or picking up a virus or bacteria or something that

might harm them and make them sick so some people do become very worried about

their health especially at the moment Jamelia says don't forget to subscribe

life streams are on at the same time 2 p.m. UK time Sunday Wednesday and Friday

is joined today and a peek at hello and a pika

I think the corona virus has spread very quickly I think now my personal opinion

is that I think people have underestimated this particular virus I

think people thought that it might go away or maybe if we put people into into

confinement or isolation then it would slowly go away however it would appear

to be the opposite so a lot of people at the moment are worrying about the corona

virus here in the UK we haven't had many cases

not many cases we have had unfortunately I think a couple of fatalities

unfortunately but there are a lot of people now in quarantine they are being

kept away from everyone else and each person is being held in isolation so

they can't have any contact with any other people it must be awful can you

imagine that and many people now are having to be on

their own for two weeks two weeks of isolation I don't like the sound of that

to be honest with you I don't like the sound of that at all thank you very much

- blues bird oh thank you pal Mira how can I ever make it up to you if you make

something up to someone it means you try to repay them for something that you've

done wrong pal Mira thank you very much for forgiving me for my little mistake

it was a mistake definitely Thank You pal Mira actually I know what I'm going

to do pal Mira there we go pal Mira is now a moderator

for my channel so pal Mira I will never lose you again okay I will always have

you there in my live chat so pal Mira you are now officially one of my

moderators along with Louie also me care and Belarusian and Pedro as well yes

we've had a couple of Oh what are fatalities when we say fatality it means

something that causes death so a fatality is the death of someone so a

person dies one person dies we say that that is one fatality

so a fatality is the event of death one person dies or maybe a hundred

fatalities so if there are 100 fatalities it means a hundred people

have died unfortunately so yes so here in the UK we have had a couple of people

sadly died from the coronavirus but here it is not too bad not very serious at

all hello to pal mirror again you are now officially a moderator on my youtube
