26
390480
7970
06:38
everything is this morning mr. Steve and myself we went into town and we decided
27
398450
6250
06:44
to buy some milk however the town was very busy I was quite surprised for
28
404700
8790
06:53
those who don't know I live in a small town called Much Wenlock it's very nice
29
413490
5100
06:58
very quaint very lovely very typically English however this morning there were
30
418590
6840
07:05
lots of people in town doing the same thing as myself and also Steve so we
31
425430
6720
07:12
went into one of the shops and there were people everywhere lots of people
32
432150
4440
07:16
buying food some people were also buying Easter eggs because this weekend it is
33
436590
7710
07:24
Easter of course this weekend Easter will arrive so on Sunday we will be
34
444300
7230
07:31
enjoying Easter however most of us will be sharing our time with our family and
35
451530
6740
07:38
most of us will be in isolation it is still happening yesterday here in the UK
36
458270
7300
07:45
it was announced that the safe distancing and all of the isolation will
37
465570
7620
07:53
continue for maybe another one or two weeks so it looks as if they are
38
473190
6760
07:59
going to extend they are going to extend this lockdown for a little bit longer so
39
479950
10440
08:10
I'm trying to get my daily fitness I am out in the garden right now doing some
40
490390
5010
08:15
exercises walking around and of course talking to you as well I hope you are
41
495400
5820
08:21
having a good day yes it is Thursday however this is not my first livestream
42
501220
8250
08:29
today did you see me this morning eight and a
43
509470
4170
08:33
half hours ago I was in the garden filming the sunrise today's sunrise and
44
513640
9420
08:43
also the lovely dawn chorus it is actually on my youtube channel you can
45
523060
6060
08:49
watch it even though at the moment there are some problems with YouTube with
46
529120
5520
08:54
their system so apparently there are some problems at the moment with the
47
534640
5130
08:59
system on YouTube so there might be some problems with watching my videos or
48
539770
4590
09:04
seeing my videos so if you have a problem watching some of my videos it
49
544360
5550
09:09
isn't my fault unfortunately at the moment YouTube has some problems some
50
549910
6000
09:15
technical problems anyway I hope you are there now and I hope you can see me and
51
555910
6150
09:22
of course I hope you can hear me as well we went into town this morning
52
562060
4770
09:26
we bought some milk we got back home and of course I sanitized my hands before
53
566830
8850
09:35
and after so my hands are nice and clean I washed my hands when I returned and so
54
575680
6570
09:42
did Steve however mr. Steve decided that he wanted to wash the milk bottle
55
582250
7650
09:49
so the Milt the milk bottle as far as Steve was concerned was covered with
56
589900
9000
09:58
bugs so Steve actually washed the full bottle of milk under the hot tap so we
57
598900
9690
10:08
are we are not taking any risks at the moment just in case you are worried
58
608590
5220
10:13
that we are taking risks we are not we are both being very safe I am now in
59
613810
5730
10:19
isolation here in the countryside I will let you have a little look so this is
60
619540
6180
10:25
the view at the moment behind me so there it is and you might notice there
61
625720
7260
10:32
are no people around so I am quite isolated at the moment quite secluded we
62
632980
9570
10:42
talked about this yesterday we talked about words related to being alone or
63
642550
4320
10:46
secluded so there is the view behind me so you don't have to worry I am keeping
64
646870
6840
10:53
a very I am keeping a very safe distance away from other people very far away so
65
653710
8730
11:02
don't worry about that however you might see some people walking down the hill
66
662440
5130
11:07
behind me from time to time so it is allowed for you to go out and have some
67
667570
6000
11:13
exercise and of course there are people who live in this area who are taking
68
673570
4950
11:18
advantage of this thing they are taking advantage of the fact that the weather
69
678520
6480
11:25
is nice and also they can go out for a walk because they are local people they
70
685000
6300
11:31
are local just like me very nice to see you all here today the live chat very
71
691300
6870
11:38
busy.i I woke up very late this morning because after filming my door and chorus
72
698170
7320
11:45
this morning I had to get a bit 5:15 this morning and I have to be honest
73
705490
6570
11:52
with you it felt very strange it felt very weird getting up so early that's
74
712060
6690
11:58
what I did this morning 5:30 I was filming on my roof live and you can
75
718750
6930
12:05
watch my live stream from this morning again on my youtube channel however I
76
725680
6510
12:12
went back to bed afterwards so I went back to sleep
77
732190
4339
12:16
unfortunately I woke up a little late so that's the reason why we rushed into
78
736529
6521
12:23
town to get some milk because we realised
79
743050
3930
12:26
that we had no milk what it does that's that there is nothing worse than running
80
746980
6840
12:33
out of milk so because we've been very good we haven't been panic buying we
81
753820
6660
12:40
haven't done any of those things we have been buying what we need however we
82
760480
6570
12:47
didn't start buying too much stuff so a lot of people unfortunately have been
83
767050
5969
12:53
going out buying lots and lots of things they have been panic buying however I've
84
773019
7981
13:01
decided not to do that so we just bought one bottle of milk
85
781000
5339
13:06
we bought it back home and mr. Steve washed it just to make sure it was all
86
786339
5971
13:12
nice and clean I suppose it's a good idea to do that sometimes you can never
87
792310
6570
13:18
be too careful and I think this particular period of time is a good time
88
798880
6000
13:24
to use that expression sometimes you can't be too careful so that's what I'm
89
804880
7530
13:32
doing at the moment hello to everybody don't forget I am here every day I'm
90
812410
5909
13:38
doing a live stream every single day I was with you yesterday I was with you
91
818319
6121
13:44
this morning even though you didn't see me on the camera however you did hear
92
824440
4740
13:49
all of the lovely birds singing in the trees as they woke up to a new day you
93
829180
8130
13:57

845110
4529

97
853569
9861
14:23
also Lille is here as well a lot of people already joining me on the live
98
863430
5680
14:29
chat thank you very much so what have you been doing during this very strange
99
869110
6599
14:35
period of time I've been doing some things I've been
100
875709
5071
14:40
trying to sort all of my old videos and all of my old lessons so I have hundreds
101
880780
8250
14:49
and hundreds and hundreds of things inside my computer and also inside my
102
889030
7010
14:56
archives so what I'm doing at the moment I'm looking through some of my old video
103
896040
5290
15:01
lessons I am also re-editing one of my big
104
901330
5550
15:06
lessons one of my epic lessons that I did about autumn so I'm actually
105
906880
7550
15:14
re-editing that at the moment and that will be posted on my youtube channel
106
914430
5940
15:20
sometime next week so I'm keeping myself very busy what are you doing I hope you
107
920370
8260
15:28
are managing to get some exercise because one of the things that we talked
108
928630
3450
15:32
about yesterday I was talking to Steve and he said perhaps a lot of people will
109
932080
7230
15:39
be putting on weight during this time because they are spending so much time
110
939310
4410
15:43
at home maybe they will start putting on weight so I think that's the reason why
111
943720
5910
15:49
you have to make sure you get plenty of exercise during this time you have to
112
949630
4020
15:53
make sure that you get plenty of exercise someone said there is a joke on
113
953650
10680
16:04
the Internet Oh Thank You Greville OOP I don't I
114
964330
4140
16:08
don't make panic purchases because I don't have any panic well in fact I
115
968470
7560
16:16
don't have any money I like that comment yes for some people
116
976030
5340
16:21
they have no choice unfortunately everyone is suffering somehow so
117
981370
6960
16:28
everyone who is actually having their lives affected this is such a strange
118
988330
5850
16:34
thing it really is it really is this is such a strange period of time so I am
119
994180
8040
16:42
trying to adjust to all of this I am trying to adjust myself so that is the
120
1002220
6900
16:49
reason why I'm here today and I will be here with you every day during April
121
1009120
5519
16:54
or of course until this all comes to an end
122
1014639
6360
17:00
hello to Netra mr. Duncan I missed your dawn livestream as I was working out oh
123
1020999
10200
17:11
do you mean exercising that's very good so net Rho was actually getting some
124
1031199
5071
17:16
exercise whilst I was doing my very early morning livestream Vitesse a
125
1036270
8939
17:25
little bit of humor okay self I shall isolation goes fine
126
1045209
6241
17:31
but we are only afraid of the decree on self liquidation oh yes I don't like the
127
1051450
8849
17:40
sound of that at all so a lot of people are going through
128
1060299
5120
17:45
difficult situations some more than others some more than others
129
1065419
6431
17:51
and you may have noticed yesterday a lot of things happening in the UK and quite
130
1071850
3990
17:55
quite possibly where you are so it looks as if we will have to stay in isolation
131
1075840
6630
18:02
for a little bit longer unfortunately Ari hello Ari Hassan
132
1082470
7589
18:10
hello mr. Duncan hi I'm on my treadmill watching you it's quite interesting
133
1090059
7531
18:17
isn't it when you're up you when you are actually exercising when you exercise on
134
1097590
4350
18:21
a treadmill it feels as if you're going somewhere but in fact you're going
135
1101940
7170
18:29
nowhere you are actually staying in the same place so I hope you enjoy your
136
1109110
6049
18:35
exercise on the treadmill don't worry I'm not really on a treadmill I'm just
137
1115159
7931
18:43
pretending you see but this is good exercise so if you want to stay in your
138
1123090
5579
18:48
garden you can just exercise like this you can actually just pretend to be
139
1128669
6181
18:54
walking or maybe you can jog on the spot you can stay on the spot stay in the
140
1134850
7740
19:02
same place and jog jog jog
141
1142590
4850
19:09
hello to sassy at the hello sassy nice to see you here as well I am suffering a
142
1149450
9160
19:18
little bit at the moment don't worry it's nothing serious it isn't it's not
143
1158610
8220
19:26
that so don't worry however at this time of year I normally get allergies I
144
1166830
8000
19:34
normally become very sensitive to flowers and pollen so that's one of the
145
1174830
6040
19:40
things that always happens to me at this time of year so my nose in my
146
1180870
6060
19:46
eyes start becoming sensitive which means that my throat becomes sore and I
147
1186930
7350
19:54
also start sneezing so I have to be careful because if I start coughing and
148
1194280
5040
19:59
sneezing because of my hay fever people might assume that I've got so I have to
149
1199320
11370
20:10
be very careful so at this time of year all of the flowers are coming out all of
150
1210690
5340
20:16
the pollen is floating around and I have got a little bit of hay fever today so
151
1216030
7260
20:23
that might be why my voice sounds a little deep because hay fever season has
152
1223290
7080
20:30
arrived unfortunately hello Guadalupe oh I am cooking a lot because my son and
153
1230370
7440
20:37
daughter are eating all day long I think it has become a new quest time a new
154
1237810
7410
20:45
pest time so when we have a quest time it means something that we do when we
155
1245220
5940
20:51
have free time or when we have spare time so I think for many people eating
156
1251160
8120
20:59
has become a new habit or maybe a new hobby I know a lot of people have
157
1259280
8890
21:08
started cooking and baking in their kitchens mr. Steve is planning to make a
158
1268170
7920
21:16
nice casserole next week I think so he hasn't told me yet but I think Steve
159
1276090
7329
21:23
is going to actually make a casserole next week so I must say I am looking
160
1283419
6750
21:30
forward to that the irony yes it is an ironic I think
161
1290169
6421
21:36
it's very ironic that we are all staying in we are isolating ourselves to stay
162
1296590
7680
21:44
healthy however many of us are now eating too much food which means over
163
1304270
6690
21:50
time we will start to become unhealthy it makes no sense so I think for some
164
1310960
8250
21:59
people who are isolated including me by the way because I love food it doesn't
165
1319210
7740
22:06
matter if I'm in isolation or not I really do like food very much
166
1326950
6020
22:12
hello mr. Duncan this morning I watched your beautiful film of the sunrise on
167
1332970
5380
22:18
YouTube really amazing I loved the early morning light and the color of the sky
168
1338350
4890
22:23
thank you for that thank you Vittorio you are welcome
169
1343240
4080
22:27
I had to get up very early this morning so I could I could do my livestream of
170
1347320

1353460
5140

22:51
did I just say people I don't know why I said people I mean birds I know
174
1371100
8230

175
1379330
6329
23:05
birds were singing we also had the rooster there was also a rooster that
176
1385659

1423640
6780
23:50
hello mrs. Blackbird and mr. blackbird I missed your live stream of the sunrise
183
1430420
9900
24:00
this morning says Belarusian hello Belarusian nice to see you you can watch
184
1440320
5100
24:05
it again you can watch the lovely sunrise and also listen to the dawn
185
1445420
7800
24:13
chorus again it is on my youtube channel who is mr. Steve mr. Steve is someone
186
1453220
8550
24:21
who sometimes appears on my live streams especially on Sunday a lot of people now
187
1461770
7200
24:28
like mr. Steve he has a very big fan club so normally Steve is here he joins
188
1468970
7350
24:36
in with the fun here on my youtube channel on Sunday but he's not here
189
1476320
7320
24:43
today unfortunately because he's working he is in isolation in his office hello
190
1483640
11190
24:54
Damien Trevis hello Damien do you have a pet I don't I don't keep pets to be
191
1494830
7560
25:02
honest with you sometimes I feel a little sad when I see animals in cages
192
1502390
5760
25:08
or locked away so I don't like to keep animals locked away in cages or in boxes
193
1508150
8850
25:17
so I prefer to see all of the animals in the wild so that's the reason why I love
194
1517000
7590
25:24
this at the moment because at this time of year all of nature wakes up
195
1524590
5700
25:30
everything becomes really nice around us so that's one of the reasons why I don't
196
1530290
6060
25:36
have pets because I don't really need to have pets because around me there are
197
1536350
6500
25:42
animals everywhere there are many animals everywhere mr.
198
1542850
6850
25:49
Duncan why does Steve go to work well he is at
199
1549700
3870
25:53
home he is at home however he is in his office in the house so that is what he's
200
1553570
9900
26:03
doing he's still working although can I let you in on a secret I
201
1563470
8540
26:12
happen to know that mr. Steve is in his office reading the latest car magazine
202
1572010
11430
26:23
yes so if mr. Steve's boss is watching Steve is actually in his office but he's
203
1583440
9460
26:32
reading a car magazine he's not really doing any work at the moment mr. Duncan
204
1592900
9540
26:42
you are so nasty it's okay it doesn't matter
205
1602440
3270
26:45
of course you know that Steve loves cars and there is nothing that Steve enjoys
206
1605710
5400
26:51
more than opening a car magazine and looking at all those lovely cars all the
207
1611110
7140
26:58
cars that he can't afford every animal in the world has the same language the
208
1618250
7080
27:05
cat with the same the dog with the same and also even the rooster that wakes us
209
1625330
8670
27:14
up in the morning with its voice but we humans have a very different language
210
1634000
7500
27:21
and the thing is of course we have many different languages that we speak
211
1641500
5750
27:27
however we all still communicate with each other even though sometimes it
212
1647250
5860
27:33
might be very difficult to do it so I suppose that's one of the reasons why
213
1653110
5630
27:38
English has become popular because it gives everyone a chance to actually talk
214
1658740
5800
27:44
to each other and share their experiences that's one of the reasons
215
1664540
6240
27:50
why I love English and it's something that's always attracted me for many many
216
1670780
5250
27:56
years so I see English as something that can open doors it can
217
1676030
7110
28:03
give you opportunities also it is a great way of sharing your thoughts your
218
1683140
8760
28:11
experience and also your way of life the things that you like to do mr. Duncan
219
1691900
11190
28:23
you are funny I think you should be a linguistic B linguistic love and Oh
220
1703090
8000
28:31
greetings from Iraq hello if Mohammed nice to see you here as well nice to see
221
1711090
7329
28:38
you and thanks for joining me today it was a beautiful experience the dawn
222
1718419
6091
28:44
chorus this morning thank you very much and glad you enjoyed it
223
1724510
4260
28:48
I had to get up very early this morning to do that and I had to climb you might
224
1728770
7560
28:56
not know this but I actually had to climb on the roof of my studio and it
225
1736330
6030
29:02
was very dark it wasn't very light so I had to climb
226
1742360
5760
29:08
up the ladder with all of my equipment then I had to get on top of the roof of
227
1748120
6030
29:14
my studio however I managed not to fall I didn't fall off the roof I am still
228
1754150
8159
29:22
here to tell my tale to tell my story it is fun to spend time on the roof yes if
229
1762309
9391
29:31
you are very lucky if you are lucky enough to have a flat area maybe the top
230
1771700
5820
29:37
of your house is flat and perhaps you can go out and walk around so some
231
1777520
5519
29:43
houses especially in hot countries quite often it is possible to go out onto the
232
1783039
6721
29:49
roof of your house I think so so yes it is a nice thing to do
233
1789760
6390
29:56
especially when you are high up so one of the things I always feel lucky about
234
1796150
4170
30:00
is that we have some nice views around here hello Joshi Joshi Shashikant hello
235
1800320
12420
30:12
what is your all prospective towards life well one of
236
1812740
6330
30:19
the things you may notice about me is that I always try to keep happy I often
237
1819070
4980
30:24
feel happy about things quite often I will look for the small things the small
238
1824050
7380
30:31
things around me I'm always fascinated by detail I'm always fascinated by the
239
1831430
8190
30:39
smallest of things the obvious things yes of course things that are big and
240
1839620
6510
30:46
obvious are interesting but sometimes there are many things around us that we
241
1846130
5610
30:51
can't see or maybe we are so busy with our lives that we don't see them at all
242
1851740
6090
30:57
and that is it so I like to think of life as an adventure it is something
243
1857830
7260
31:05
that you do it is something that you experience I'm not saying that my life
244
1865090
6390
31:11
is always easy because it isn't in my past I've had lots of problems and
245
1871480
5030
31:16
difficulties but I would like to think now that I have become quite a happy
246
1876510
7330
31:23
person I am content I try to see the beauty in
247
1883840
3390
31:27
everything and everybody even though sometimes there are people around who
248
1887230
6660
31:33
want to steal your happiness or take it away from you but at the end of the day
249
1893890
5580
31:39
they are the unhappy ones they will never make me unhappy so I hope that
250
1899470
7680
31:47
answers your question that is my life basically so I hope you enjoyed that
251
1907150
6680
31:53
Guadeloupe Guadeloupe Torres says mr. Duncan is the best teacher ever thank
252
1913830
6160
31:59
you very much that's very kind of you hello - Mira Nell
253
1919990
6630
32:06
hello Moran I'll sing live from India thank you very much for joining me today
254
1926620
5700
32:12
I'm in the garden again I hope this isn't boring I do worry sometimes that
255
1932320
6360
32:18
if I come out every day into the garden maybe you will get bored maybe you will
256
1938680
6690
32:25
say Oh mr. Duncan Xin is garden again oh oh oh it's always the
257
1945370
6159
32:31
same thing every day mr. Duncan can you please change your scenery change it
258
1951529
7760
32:39
people like you mister don't go and make the world a brighter and kind of place
259
1959289
3971
32:43
Thank You fetus it's it's lovely of you to say that there are many many nice
260
1963260
5760
32:49
people there are lots of good people there are many kind people there are
261
1969020
6659
32:55
many generous people we are all generous in our own way
262
1975679
4470
33:00
so each one of us has some generosity we all give a little bit of ourselves away
263
1980149
8491
33:08
and quite often we do it so we will help other people so it does exist it does it
264
1988640
6659
33:15
does happen I know these days a lot of the news is negative and not very
265
1995299
7051
33:22
positive however there are many positive things happening around at the moment
266
2002350
5699
33:28
especially during these strange times because at the moment people are in a
267
2008049
6510
33:34
very difficult situation they are in a very difficult position so those who can
268
2014559
6600
33:41
get about are helping those who cannot so I think yes when we talk about
269
2021159
7161
33:48
difficulty when we talk about times of crisis you will often find that the best
270
2028320
6760
33:55
of humanity and also the worst of humanity will come out so that is what
271
2035080
8310
34:03
often happens during times of crisis you will find a lot of good things happening
272
2043390
5100
34:08
and a lot of bad things happening as well hello CAPA dev you always are a
273
2048490
10429
34:18
referent for those who want to learn and share a pleasant time at the same time
274
2058919
5621
34:24
the best and first one to make learning English funny and addictive Thank You
275
2064540
4680
34:29
mr. Duncan thank you very much it's very kind of you to say I suppose sometimes
276
2069220
6270
34:35
you have to talk about the work that you do I don't like talking about my work
277
2075490
5550
34:41
because sometimes I think it's very very arrogant or very self-indulgent however
278
2081040
7950
34:48
sometimes you have to say that you see you have to say that you have to tell
279
2088990
5070
34:54
people what it is you do and why you do it
280
2094060
2940
34:57
so I've been doing this for many years I started making these video lessons way
281
2097000
6690
35:03
back in 2006 so a very long time I've been doing this and I was living in
282
2103690
5730
35:09
China at the time I was actually working and teaching in China when I started my
283
2109420
5760
35:15
youtube channel hello - if Mohammed again hello to you what is the hardest
284
2115180
8100
35:23
decision you've had to make in your life I've had I've had to make a lot of
285
2123280
6300
35:29
painful decisions and this is something you realize you should get older life is
286
2129580
6360
35:35
not always going to be fair and kind sometimes there are things you have to
287
2135940
6120
35:42
do sometimes you have to do something that makes your life more difficult
288
2142060
5000
35:47
however if you can see into the future you if you look ahead and you make plans
289
2147060
7120
35:54
for the future then quite often these difficulties don't seem so bad
290
2154180
5250
35:59
so in the past I have had to make quite a few difficulties quite a few difficult
291
2159430
5280
36:04
decisions in my life I suppose one of the hardest things recently was coming
292
2164710
7560
36:12
back from China even though it was many years ago it was actually 13 years ago
293
2172270
7260
36:19
that I came back from China however I found it very difficult afterwards very
294
2179530
5580
36:25
difficult to adjust to being back here in England because life here was very
295
2185110
6090
36:31
different much more hectic people were always busy and doing things so I did
296
2191200
8580
36:39
find coming back here from China after living in China for many years I found
297
2199780
5910
36:45
it very hard to come back and it caused me a lot of difficulty so I did sort of
298
2205690
6660
36:52
regret I did regret coming back to England however now I
299
2212350
6919
36:59
feel as if the decision was the right one so sometimes you can make a decision
300
2219269
6790
37:06
or or make a change in your life which is painful at the time however gradually
301
2226059
6030
37:12
you realize that you actually did make the right decision I hope that answers
302
2232089
6990
37:19
your question I always try to answer your questions sometimes I get some very
303
2239079
4921
37:24
unusual questions as well some very strange questions indeed for
304
2244000
6509

structured so when we say that something is

379
2767980
5099
46:13
on YouTube and everything I do is free everything that I've done hundreds and
380
2773079
7951
46:21
hundreds of lessons thousands of hours of live streams and it's all free it
381
2781030
9210
46:30
doesn't cost you anything have you ever had to stop doing your lessons no never
382
2790240
8099
46:38
so for 14 years I've been doing this continually I haven't stopped I've never
383
2798339
7051
46:45
given up I've never stopped anything I was the first ever English English
384
2805390
8159
46:53
teacher ever on YouTube it's true I was the first person ever to start teaching
385
2813549
8851
47:02
English as a native English man teaching English the first one ever you might not
386
2822400
8100
47:10
believe it but it's true way back in 2006 when YouTube was still a little
387
2830500
10440
47:20
baby just a little baby and I was there on YouTube doing my lessons making my
388
2840940
9149
47:30
English lessons do you have any podcasts I don't normally do podcasts because I
389
2850089
6421
47:36
spend a lot of my time doing this so really I wouldn't have much time doing
390
2856510
5880
47:42
anything else so I don't normally do podcasts I know a lot of people at the
391
2862390
4620
47:47
moment are starting to listen to podcasts because they are isolated
392
2867010
4680
47:51
however I do prefer to be in front of you I always think
393
2871690
7030
47:58
that this form of communication with images and sound is more vivid it is
394
2878720
8790
48:07
more interesting maybe so if I was standing in my garden now and you can
395
2887510
6599
48:14
only hear my voice maybe it wouldn't be so interesting you might think Oh mr.
396
2894109
6271
48:20
Duncan mr. Duncan he's putting the sound of the birds behind him it's not real
397
2900380
7380
48:27
however standing here in my garden you can see that I'm in the garden you can
398
2907760
7349
48:35
see that I'm standing underneath my cherry tree and you can see that I'm
399
2915109
6750
48:41
here not only that but you can also hear nature all around me so that's the
400
2921859
5220
48:47
reason why I always like to do this on YouTube I always think that it is better
401
2927079
5671
48:52
to be able to see the person as well as hear them and that is just my opinion it
402
2932750
7140
48:59
is something that I've always liked the thing about YouTube is you can see the
403
2939890
6240
49:06
person and you can hear them as well visual things tend to be very exciting
404
2946130
8070
49:14
if you can see something as well as hear it quite often those two things combined
405
2954200
5430
49:19
and they bring something to what it is you are doing something very special
406
2959630
7070
49:26
hello juice que hello juice que you are my first teacher on YouTube and I love
407
2966700
7270
49:33
you so much thank you very much thanks a lot you are kind very kind of you to say
408
2973970
4980
49:38
that mr. Duncan is there any news about your Prime Minister Boris Johnson there
409
2978950
8970
49:47
is news the news is that he seems to be recovering so the latest news that
410
2987920
7169
49:55
they've announced is that the prime minister of this country has been in
411
2995089
5611
50:00
hospital but apparently he is feeling a little better and apparently he is
412
3000700
5070
50:05
talking he is calm so that's good please mr. Duncan could
413
3005770
7650
50:13
you please say hello to my son Gianluca he is next to me and he is watching your
414
3013420
5910
50:19
video lesson Sergio Gianluca hello to you today and I hope
415
3019330
9390
50:28
you are enjoying your time with Sergio I hope you enjoyed that as well
416
3028720
7590
50:36
he is he still in intensive care yes he is but as I understand that is just a
417
3036310
9390
50:45
precaution as I understand it so that's not official as I understand it he is
418
3045700
6780
50:52
being looked after in intensive care but apparently he's not unconscious he is
419
3052480
7410
50:59
awake apparently according to the latest news hello Irene I have lots of aloe
420
3059890
10740
51:10
vera as well do you mean something that you put on your hands yes aloe vera is
421
3070630
8850
51:19
very good for your skin one of the things I've noticed recently because
422
3079480
4050
51:23
I've been putting hand sanitizer on my hands to keep all the horrible bugs away
423
3083530
7310
51:30
I've noticed that my hands have become very dry so I feel as if I need some
424
3090840
6820
51:37
sort of moisturizer something to make my hands soft again so at the moment I've
425
3097660
5820
51:43
noticed that my hands have become very dry and I think it's because I've been
426
3103480
4410
51:47
using a lot of hand sanitizer Taylor woods says you should do a nightly
427
3107890
9360
51:57
routine and us under morning routine I wish you were all my teachers except for
428
3117250
8430
52:05
my favorite which I only have three oh thank you very much so you have three
429
3125680
6060
52:11
favourite teachers I'm just wondering now if I am one of them am i one of your
430
3131740
5670
52:17
favourite teachers I hope so
431
3137410
6940
52:24
visual things are easy to learn yes you are right they are much easier to learn
432
3144350
5620
52:29
so your choice is better than podcasts I do understand that there are people who
433
3149970
6060
52:36
want to listen to things maybe through their earphones or as they call them now
434
3156030
9020
52:45
earbuds mr. Duncan you know you know what the
435
3165050
4870
52:49
teenagers are wearing in their ears oh very nice so their earbuds quite often
436
3169920
5550
52:55
on the train in the morning or maybe if they are relaxing and they don't want to
437
3175470
5010
53:00
watch the video maybe they can just listen to something as well listen to
438
3180480
4680
53:05
something listen to a podcast but I've always preferred to do video I never
439
3185160
6690
53:11
like to hide away I know lots of people on YouTube have personas do you know
440
3191850
7620
53:19
what I mean by that a persona is a character that you project you project a
441
3199470
6600
53:26
certain character so there are many youtubers many people here on YouTube
442
3206070
4980
53:31
who hide behind a persona so quite often you won't see their face on the screen
443
3211050
7770
53:38
however I prefer to be open I want you to see what I do I want you to be able
444
3218820
7530
53:46
to understand what it is I'm saying so I always think that having the visual as
445
3226350
6480
53:52
well as the audio is the best way to do it the best way to do it Shawn asks how
446
3232830
9840
54:02
many hats do you have in your house it sounds like a song that does doesn't it
447
3242670
6530
54:09
tell me mr. Duncan how many hats do you have in your house I have this hat and
448
3249200
10210
54:19
that hat I have a hat for a sunny day I have a hat for a rainy day I have a hat
449
3259410
7290
54:26
to keep the Sun off my face but today I have
450
3266700
5980
54:32
hat that will protect all of my face and also my neck because there is a lot of
451
3272680
6750
54:39
Sun around so what I'm doing today I'm wearing my big hat and then this will
452
3279430
6060
54:45
keep all of the Sun off my skin there is nothing worse than having too much Sun
453
3285490
9180
54:54
on your skin because you can get all sorts of problems especially as you get
454
3294670
5040
54:59
older so there can be a bit of a problem this hat Oh a lot of people want to know
455
3299710
6030
55:05
about my hat my hat is actually I've had this for many years this hat is actually

7200
59:57

495
3597529
6721
60:04
I don't speak quickly because I don't ramble because I don't start speaking in
496
3604250
9450
60:13
a very aggressive way people assume that this isn't how I speak but it is when I
497
3613700
6599
60:20
meet people in the street I say hi there how are you doing are you okay and they
498
3620299

60:39
sometimes life is unfair sometimes there are things that we cannot bear there are
502
3639200
7710
60:46
things that make us feel down but there is one good way to get rid of that frown
503
3646910
7340
60:54
smile every day as you wake in your bed and all of those ill feelings will
504
3654250
9519
61:03
disappear from your head did you like that poem I just made that

3762210
8490
62:50
was at school I don't know how or why but now I was very good at French and I
520
3770700
6149
62:56
have no idea why I don't know why but apparently when I was at school I was
521
3776849
4770
63:01
very good at French and when I lived in China I had to learn some Chinese can I
522
3781619
8220
63:09
just say Chinese is a very hard subject it is did you know that many schools now
523
3789839
10721
63:20
here in the UK are actually teaching Chinese as a second language I'm not
524
3800560
5850
63:26
joking so many schools many primary schools are actually preparing their
525
3806410
6000
63:32
students by teaching them Chinese I'm not joking Dolly Hello Dolly
526
3812410
9570
63:41
it's so nice dolly it's so good to see you here on my computer screen
527
3821980
5250
63:47
hello mr. Duncan you make me smile every time when I enjoy your live stream I am
528
3827230
6150
63:53
always smiling and happy with my roommate oh my Ruth my roommate said I
529
3833380
6630
64:00
am so crazy no you are not crazy definitely not
530
3840010
4800
64:04
crazy a lot of people often say mr. Duncan you are very eccentric we've
531
3844810
5640
64:10
noticed something you are very eccentric
532
3850450
5570
64:18
the next time someone says to you you are eccentric you should reply with I'm
533
3858599
9010
64:27
not eccentric you are boring because they are comparing you to themselves so
534
3867609
9661
64:37
a person who comes up to you and says you are eccentric you are weird
535
3877270
5549
64:42
you are strange what you have to say in reply is no you are boring because you
536
3882819
8071
64:50
are making a comparison between that person and the other person you are
537
3890890
6150
64:57
talking to rose-red says Chinese is the second largest language in the world yes
538
3897040
8279
65:05
it is spoken in many places I will be honest with you Chinese is a very
539
3905319
5250
65:10
popular language especially in China because China is such a big country
540
3910569
6691
65:17
you see Hello also by Yan who says Arabic is the most difficult language I
541
3917260
10069
65:27
have always wanted to understand Arabic it's strange isn't
542
3927329
6461
65:33
it because I often hear it being spoken however quite often I can't begin to
543
3933790
7050
65:40
understand what is being said I suppose if I wanted to make a good comparison so
544
3940840
7770
65:48
maybe a language that is easy to understand might be French so when I
545
3948610
4920
65:53
hear French being spoken I can understand a lot of the words because
546
3953530
6360
65:59
many of the words in French are very similar to the words in English so it's
547
3959890
6300
66:06
very interesting however when I hear Arabic being spoken I have absolutely no
548
3966190
7410
66:13
idea what is being said so yes I see
549
3973600
5060
66:18

575
4168549
8520
69:37

576
4177069
6391

72:33
are you talking about me why did you leave your last job well in my life I've
602
4353080
7120
72:40
done many jobs when I was young I wanted to experience many different things one
603
4360200
7140
72:47
of the things I really wanted to do I wanted to be a famous radio presenter I
604
4367340
5130
72:52
was really interested in radio broadcasting I loved it so much I was
605
4372470
6660
72:59
crazy about it I used to listen to the radio all the time and my dream was to
606
4379130
5790
73:04
be a radio presenter it almost happened it almost happened I did do some
607
4384920
7890
73:12
voluntary work I also did some work for a community radio station
608
4392810
6210
73:19
I used to present the breakfast show way back in 2001 a very long time ago so yes
609
4399020
9230
73:28
that was my ambition there is what our lips say and who hates you but they
610
4408250
12250
73:40
don't understand that there is a body language that helps communicate the
611
4420500
3930
73:44
message to help others understand Thank You Carl ed that is one of the reasons
612
4424430
5550
73:49
why I like to do my videos I prefer to be in front of the camera when I'm
613
4429980
5070
73:55
giving my lessons instead of just having just having things on the screen without
614
4435050
7290
74:02
my face so I think it is much better if you can see the person in front of your
615
4442340
5190
74:07
camera so I am here on screen and that is the way I've always done it I always
616
4447530
6000
74:13
like to be here in front of you and then you can hear what I'm saying
617
4453530
6870
74:20
but also you can see what I'm saying as well I think you could have been a
618
4460400
10259
74:30
wonderful radio presenter thank you very much Noemi well I have a big interest in
619
4470659
5101
74:35
music especially from the 1980s so that is one of the things I grew up with I
620
4475760
6030
74:41
grew up loving music I was crazy about music I used to listen to music all the
621
4481790
7710
74:49
time I wanted to have music going into my
622
4489500
3690
74:53
ears all the time and we are talking a very long time ago a long time before we
623
4493190
7920
75:01
had iPods or mp3 players they didn't exist
624
4501110
7250
75:08
there were no Sony Walkman can you believe that
625
4508360
6760
75:15
so when I was listening to music in the early 1980s we didn't have all of this
626
4515120
7559
75:22
wonderful technology to listen to our music arm so you could either have the
627
4522679
4801
75:27
radio you would listen to the radio or you would have records vinyl records and
628
4527480
8580
75:36
that's what I would buy every week I would go and I would buy whichever song
629
4536060
7849
75:43
whichever song I was enjoying that particular week mr. Duncan says Anna my
630
4543909
9000
75:52
husband says you have a very pleasant voice to be a radio presenter and I
631
4552909
7151
76:00
agree with him thank you very much I suppose I suppose
632
4560060
5369
76:05
if I get very close to the microphone I could be one of those late-night radio
633
4565429
5491
76:10

638
4606699
9390
76:56
haven't been to the University but I've been to Oxford Oxford is a lovely place
639
4616089
5930
77:02
very scenic beautiful buildings and of course a lot of people believe that
640
4622019
6031
77:08
Oxford is one of the famous seats of Education many famous people many famous
641
4628050
10179
77:18
politicians Studdard studied at Oxford and of course the other one is Cambridge
642
4638229
7440
77:25
as well Oxford and Cambridge is what people often think of that is creepy mr.
643
4645669
10080
77:35
Duncan oh thank you very much
644
4655749
3531
77:39
so you don't like my radio presenter voice mr. Duncan do your neighbors know
645
4659609
8290
77:47
that you do the live streams regularly they do I think they do no I think
646
4667899
6930
77:54
sometimes I think sometimes my neighbours secretly watch my video
647
4674829
6000
78:00
lessons I think so so sometimes because some people around
648
4680829
4500
78:05
here do know about my work I remember when I first moved here in 2013 I used
649
4685329
9600
78:14
to walk around this area with my camera and I would do lots of filming sometimes
650
4694929
6900
78:21
I would stand in front of my camera and talk and then I would record the videos
651
4701829
5431
78:27
and then I would edit them so I did editing one day I was near the post box
652
4707260
8729
78:35
in the center of the place where I live and someone came up to me one of the
653
4715989
5491
78:41
neighbors said excuse me would you mind telling me exactly what
654
4721480
5430
78:46
you are doing can you believe that they would say that would you mind telling me
655
4726910
8610
78:55
exactly what you are doing so I then had to explain to him that I lived here and
656
4735520
11160
79:06
I was making some educational videos teaching English as a Second Language
657
4746680
7520
79:15
he came up to me would you mind telling me exactly what you are doing with your
658
4755400
7360
79:22
camera mm-hmm what are you doing it's interesting that sometimes people become
659
4762760
9330
79:32
very suspicious when they see someone with a camera what are they doing what
660
4772090
7530
79:39
are they filming maybe they are a peeping tom hello Amane I like your
661
4779620
9150
79:48
videos they are helpful for learning English Thank You teacher
662
4788770
3480
79:52
you are welcome no problem there are some pigeons behind me they are fighting
663
4792250
12060
80:04
this time of year unfortunately at this time of year the birds especially the
664
4804310
7080
80:11
pigeons will often fight so if two male pigeons meet they will often start
665
4811390
7860
80:19
fighting each other they will slap each other with their wings and sometimes it
666
4819250
6750
80:26
goes on for a very long time and it's very noisy as well so sometimes you can
667
4826000
4590
80:30
hear the pigeons fighting in the garden and that was just happening behind me
668
4830590
6150
80:36
then did you hear it sometimes the pigeons get very violent
669
4836740
6680
80:43
rose-red says I'm going now bye everyone bye
670
4843420
4780
80:48
rose-red hope to see you again I hope I haven't put you off
671
4848200
6620
80:55
hopefully see you tomorrow why do people say that the weather in the UK is always
672
4855480
5650
81:01
horrible mr. Duncan hugs from Spain yes Carlos you are right I think quite often
673
4861130
6240
81:07

678
4898840
4830
81:43
fact we haven't had any heavy rain for quite a few days so I think it would be
679
4903670
6690
81:50
fair to say at the moment we are having really nice weather so I know some
680
4910360

81:56
people say that it always rains in England but I can promise you now it

715
5173699
6601
86:20
hello mr. Duncan thank you so much for your live stream in this difficult time
716
5180300
5100
86:25
I think it's fair to say that we are living through some very strange times
717
5185400
6029
86:31
some very strange moments things are not the same as they normally are I think we
718
5191429
7411
86:38
can safely say that everything is a bit weird at the moment I think so
719
5198840
7980
86:46
however whatever is happening in your life whatever is going on remember
720
5206820
8750
86:59
my poor back on my back you are not alone so during this strange period of
721
5219269
12520
87:11
time don't forget I will be with you every day during this very strange time
722
5231789
5930
87:17
you are not alone you are not alone I will be here sharing my strange
723
5237719
9510
87:27
isolation with your strange isolation so yes we can be together alone or maybe
724
5247229
9881
87:37
alone together does that sound like a good idea Ahmed
725
5257110
5520
87:42
asks where do you get your food and your other things well we have the
726
5262630
6929
87:49
shops here in Much Wenlock there are some shops that are open
727
5269559
4290
87:53
however they have very strict safe space rules so you have to you have to stand
728
5273849
8070
88:01
very far away from each other so there is safe distancing at the moment taking
729
5281919
6390
88:08
place everywhere in the UK so that is what is going on at the moment so we all
730
5288309
6390
88:14
have to stay far apart so the shops are open we can buy things we went into town
731
5294699
6931
88:21
this morning I bought some milk even though there
732
5301630
4409
88:26
were many people around so I I ran into the shop I held my breath I paid for the
733
5306039
12870
88:38
milk and then I ran out of the shop so that's what I did this morning we will
734
5318909
7141
88:46
find out tomorrow if I'm still alright I hope I will be mr. Duncan you have to
735
5326050
8819
88:54
put some oil on your hinge I don't know what you're talking about
736
5334869
9630
89:04
I'm not sure what you mean jaffa cakes did you buy any jaffa cakes
737
5344499
6001
89:10
No can you believe it I actually went into town this morning and I forgot to
738
5350500
6150
89:16
buy some jaffa cakes I can't believe it I can't believe I forgot to buy jaffa
739
5356650
7410
89:24
cakes it's terrible terrible hello to Shirley Germany again how difficult is
740
5364060
9720
89:33
it for you now to buy something in the supermarket since as I mentioned just
741
5373780
9870
89:43
there are shops open so we can actually buy bread so there is a local bakery
742
5383650
5780
89:49
where I live and they are still it open as well so they are open for business so
743
5389430
5830
89:55
we can go into town we can buy some bread we can buy some groceries we can
744
5395260
5880
90:01
buy vegetables so the vegetables are actually available so there is no real
745
5401140
5910
90:07
shortage to be honest all those people that were rushing around panic buying
746
5407050
8480
90:15
they didn't leave too
747
5415530
3870
90:20
sometimes in life when things go wrong when things don't go the way you want
748
5420570
6430
90:27
them to sometimes you have to look on the bright side sometimes you have to
749
5427000
5790
90:32
say look things aren't good but I will still try to look on the bright side
750
5432790
4830
90:37
that is what I'm doing I'm trying my best to look on a bright side there are
751
5437620
7740
90:45
things that will allow you to have fun there are things that you can do maybe
752
5445360
6150
90:51
because you didn't have time before a lot of people rush around in their
753
5451510
5310
90:56
normal lives have you noticed that a lot of people always rush around we do we
754
5456820
7920
91:04
never spend time to actually look at the world around us so I think at the moment
755
5464740
6830
91:11
this is a great opportunity to actually look around
756
5471570
5720
91:17
and see what really exists what is around you you might look at the trees
757
5477290
9420
91:26
you might look at the sky you might spend many moments watching the clouds
758
5486710
6860
91:33
float by and you might think to yourself wow I can't remember the last time I
759
5493570
7570
91:41
actually looked at the sky it's beautiful it's incredible
760
5501140
6600
91:47
what an amazing thing the sky is so I think sometimes you can look on the
761
5507740
7620
91:55
bright side you can look on the bright side of life I know it's difficult it's
762
5515360
6330
92:01
not easy there isn't a magic solution to all of our problems you can make the
763
5521690
8310
92:10
best of a bad deal you can make the best of a bad situation so maybe when things
764
5530000
7020
92:17
are going wrong maybe things are not going right many people at the moment
765
5537020
4530
92:21
are stuck at home they can't go out however if you have the internet if you
766
5541550
7620
92:29
if you have a computer if you have a telephone you can keep in touch with
767
5549170
4350
92:33
people of course you can so maybe you can take the opportunity to get in touch
768
5553520
5700
92:39
with someone you haven't seen or spoken to for a long time so you see you can
769
5559220
6300
92:45
always make the best of a bad deal there are no clouds above my head today
770
5565520
9360
92:54
however if there were if there were some clouds above my head I would say that
771
5574880
9120
93:04
every cloud has a silver lining there is always something positive you can find
772
5584000
5010
93:09
from something always something positive even if that thing seems invisible if
773
5589010
8940
93:17
you look clear carefully if you look closely you can say definitely that
774
5597950
5130
93:23
every cloud has a silver lining
775
5603080
4790
93:29
slava says our only means of salvation is rising to self-consciousness rising
776
5609710
11579
93:41
to self-consciousness being aware of what is around us I think so
777
5621289
6551
93:47
well that is one of the things I always try to do in my life not because of this
778
5627840
3899
93:51
but always there are always things to find out there are always things to see
779
5631739
6271
93:58
always things to learn every day it's pretty good really if you open your eyes
780
5638010
8009
94:06
and have a smile on your face another one there is light at the end of the
781
5646019
10620
94:16
tunnel there is light at the end of the tunnel even if that light is very far
782
5656639
7560
94:24
away it is in the distance sometimes the light seems so distant and yet it is
783
5664199
9931
94:34
moving towards you there is light at the end of the tunnel there is always some
784
5674130
5580
94:39
hope there is always something good ahead even if things seem bad even if
785
5679710
7020
94:46
things seem completely hopeless even if you are in a desperate situation as many
786
5686730
7500
94:54
people are now with what is happening in the world you can tell yourself that
787
5694230
5880
95:00
there is light at the end of the tunnel things will get better things will
788
5700110
4589
95:04
become better things will change for the better our normal lives will return Luis
789
5704699
11761
95:16
Mendez hello Luis thank you for joining me I now know that you are back safe
790
5716460
5239
95:21
Thank You Luis I hope everything went all right with your appointment it is
791
5721699
8170
95:29
like a painting well nature is the best painter I think so
792
5729869
6031
95:35
I think that's a very good way of looking at it actually so I think really
793
5735900
4020
95:39
that when you look around you everything is
794
5739920
3060
95:42
pretty good I like going to the city I love cities so I like visiting cities
795
5742980
6920
95:49
there is nothing more amazing than looking across the city and you can see
796
5749900
4840
95:54
all of the buildings some of them very tall some of them not so tall some of
797
5754740
7080
96:01
them are brand new and some of them are old so I enjoy looking at cities as much
798
5761820
7680
96:09
as I enjoy looking at the countryside however I prefer being here in the
799
5769500
7050
96:16
countryside so this is where I prefer to be however I can appreciate buildings
800
5776550
8030
96:24
cities things like that so I can appreciate their beauty as well but if I
801
5784580
8410
96:32
had the choice if I had the choice I would rather be here in the countryside
802
5792990
7310
96:40
this is where I really want to be and I suppose this is where I belong as well
803
5800300
7680
96:47
hello Slav Slav thank you very much for your advice
804
5807980
9300
96:57
there is a lot of advice there I'm not sure if I agree with all of it but
805
5817280
5760
97:03
beware of lies around beware of people who lie well I suppose
806
5823040
6100
97:09
that is the problem we all face when you think about it we all have to be
807
5829140
6930
97:16
sometimes very aware or wary of things around us life is not simple life is not
808
5836070
9840
97:25
easy the Hong nan Lee says I love listening to your voice thank you very
809
5845910
5910
97:31
much that's very kind of you to say I do appreciate your kind comments today as I
810
5851820
7260
97:39
stand here in my garden talking to you about all sorts of things don't forget
811
5859080
8040
97:47
there is light at the end of the tunnel
812
5867120
5660
97:56
did you feed the birds in your garden asks el Balah el Balah yes
813
5876770
7000
98:03
so just behind me I don't know if you can see it maybe you can't see behind me
814
5883770
6090
98:09
but there is a large bird feeder in fact there are several bird feeders full of
815
5889860
11100
98:20
peanuts and sunflower hearts and lots of other delicious food for the birds to
816
5900960
6480
98:27
eat so in the morning quite often the birds will come into the garden they
817
5907440
4440
98:31
will feed from my lovely bird feeders and then they will fly away and then
818
5911880
6840
98:38
they will come back later so I think at the moment at the moment the birds are
819
5918720
6269
98:44
starting to come back into the garden for their afternoon treat hello to quran
820
5924989
10531
98:55
kareem again can you show us your house
821
5935520
8490
99:04
No Thank You Bella rusia the horse came back with more horses was it good was it
822
5944989
10301
99:15
bad who knows then war started and every man who has horses should also go to the
823
5955290
9630
99:24
war that sounds like a quote is that a quote from something are you quoting
824
5964920
4890
99:29
something Belarusian I'm not familiar with that quote unfortunately I thought
825
5969810
9179
99:38
it was better to avoid feeding the birds after winter you can feed birds during
826
5978989
5581
99:44
any time of year especially here in the countryside but it is a very big pastime
827
5984570
7070
99:51
or hobby for many people living here people have become very crazy about
828
5991640
5620
99:57
birds and also nature please mr. Duncan can we have a look at your wonderful
829
5997260
6000
100:03
garden you can I will let you have a little look at my
830
6003260
5280
100:08
garden just a moment I will try to turn my camera around so
831
6008540
8520
100:17
there is another view of the garden mmm so now you can see the garden and you
832
6017060
15869
100:32
can also see that the Sun is out there is my old apple tree can you see my
833
6032929
6420
100:39
apple tree it looks very sad I think I think my
834
6039349
5461
100:44
apple tree is feeling a little bit sad at the moment and maybe we can go close
835
6044810
6750
100:51
let's see if we can close get close with my camera so there you can see the
836
6051560
6450
100:58
countryside in the distance so you can see that there aren't many houses around
837
6058010
13740
101:11
here there aren't many people living around here there are some houses but
838
6071750
5130
101:16
not too many and that's the reason why normally around here it is very quiet
839
6076880
5310
101:22
and very peaceful so I hope you enjoyed that for those who wanted to see the
840
6082190

6150210
4610
102:34

850
6154820
7710
102:45
hello to ally again mr. Duncan where did you live before you moved where you are
851
6165050
9520
102:54
now well I was raised not very far away from
852
6174570
5460
103:00
here I was actually born in a town called
853
6180030
3840
103:03
Stafford which is not very far away from where I live now and then I moved to a
854
6183870
7230
103:11
big city called Wolverhampton and I lived there for a long time and then I
855
6191100
5550
103:16
moved to China so I went to China and I taught English there for a few years and
856
6196650
7020
103:23
then I came back here to England and then eventually I moved here so I moved
857
6203670
6690
103:30
here in 2013 January a very snowy day there was thick snow on the ground and
858
6210360
11990
103:42
that was the day when we moved here can you believe it and the poor lorry there
859
6222350
7690
103:50
was a huge truck bringing all of my things to the house and it couldn't get
860
6230040
7980
103:58
up the hill because there was snow everywhere so I will always remember the
861
6238020
5370
104:03
day that I moved here because everything was covered in snow
862
6243390
4770
104:08
we were we were under snow when I moved here Wolverhampton yes another place
863
6248160
8960
104:17
that is not too far away from here about 20 maybe 25 miles away from here
864
6257120
10470
104:28
I studied at Staffordshire University English teacher hello to you
865
6268989
8121
104:37
Staffordshire Wow very close to where I used to live we're very close to where I
866
6277110
6639
104:43
was raised as a child my goodness Wow very nice
867
6283749
5731
104:49
the only way to improve a society is to stop supporting governments well okay
868
6289480
11460
105:00
Slava I think you've had enough chances to say things on my channel and I think
869
6300940
8520
105:09
I've given you enough chances to talk but unfortunately it is time for us to
870
6309460
7170
105:16
have a little break from your thoughts I
871
6316630
6920
105:28
used to live in stoke-on-trent oh my goodness
872
6328289
3700
105:31
I know stoke-on-trent very well there's Hanley Hanley is a place I used to go to
873
6331989
6420
105:38
a lot there was a great night club in Hanley and in the 1980s I used to go to
874
6338409
6630
105:45
a nightclub in Hanley which is in stoke-on-trent
875
6345039
3660
105:48
so I know Hanley very well and I know stoke-on-trent very well Wow incredible
876
6348699
6320
105:55
isn't that incredible what a small world what a small world do you like winter or
877
6355019
8711
106:03
summer I like both however however I think I prefer summer winter can be very
878
6363730
9150
106:12
horrible in the in the countryside sometimes it can be a little harsh
879
6372880
5389
106:18
however it is nice when the snow falls so when the snow is falling and
880
6378269
5500
106:23
everything is white and as long as you don't have to go outside you can enjoy
881
6383769
5430
106:29
the lovely scenic landscape that is covered with snow but I'm not a big fan
882
6389199
8460
106:37
of cold weather I don't like being cold I prefer being comfortable and warm like
883
6397659
7811
106:45
today you are an amazing person that's very kind of you a bow very kind of you
884
6405470
7770
106:53
to say I am just an average person on the planet shuffling around trying to
885
6413240
6030
106:59
make the best of this thing we call existence that's all I can do that is
886
6419270
7680
107:06
all I can do thank you very much can you talk about developing ourselves well I
887
6426950
6480
107:13
suppose it depends on how you are planning to develop yourself maybe your
888
6433430
3600
107:17
character maybe your outlook maybe something that you want to do but you
889
6437030
5730
107:22
you keep putting it off so self development isn't just one thing it
890
6442760
6360
107:29
isn't just about the way you think it can be sometimes the way you behave with
891
6449120
4950
107:34
other people or the way you interact with other people may be things that
892
6454070
5580
107:39
you've thought about in the past that you want to do this is one of the things
893
6459650
4590
107:44
that I always try to avoid I always try to avoid regret that is the one thing I
894
6464240
7500
107:51
always try to avoid so I don't want to get old and then think oh if only I had
895
6471740
11190
108:02
tried that if only regret is one of those things that can haunt you forever
896
6482930
7470
108:10
so I always try to do the things that I think I can do and I always try to do
897
6490400
5610
108:16
the things that I'm not sure if I can do that's it really that's it
898
6496010
7290
108:23
so from my point of view I try to avoid regret I try my best to avoid getting to
899
6503300
8790
108:32
a point in my life where I look back and then you think oh oh I wish I had done
900
6512090
7890
108:39
that I wish I went there I wish I did that so I think regret is the one thing
901
6519980
7350
108:47
that I try to avoid sometimes you have to push yourself sometimes you have to
902
6527330
5220
108:52
give yourself a and sometimes you have to push yourself
903
6532550
6140
108:58
to achieve your goals I think so arm it says does regret mean depression not
904
6538690
9940
109:08
necessarily regret quite often is something that you wish you had done or
905
6548630
8219
109:16
maybe something that you wish you hadn't done so maybe you did something bad in
906
6556849
7171
109:24
your life and then later you think oh I wish I hadn't done that I really do I
907
6564020
8010
109:32
wish I hadn't robbed that bank bad idea very bad idea
908
6572030
6859
109:38
thinking was I thinking so so yes regret often it is something that you wish you
909
6578889
11350
109:50
had done or wish you hadn't done regret is something we often do is we get older
910
6590239
5340
109:55
as we go through life you will become regretful maybe something that you wish
911
6595579
7890
110:03
you had done so that is it that is one of the things I want to avoid in my life
912
6603469
6301
110:09
I don't want to get old and then say oh
913
6609770
5059
110:19
slab is very insistent fortunately my finger can press that button forever you
914
6619780
10750
110:30
have had your say you have posted your messages on my live chat that is all you
915
6630530
5310
110:35
need to do you don't have to keep repeating yourself again and again with
916
6635840
4560
110:40
your messages there you go you see it's simple it's as simple as that
917
6640400
6319
110:46
Belarusian we are able to isolate in our houses perhaps it is a good opportunity
918
6646869
6401
110:53
to do such things as that movie where there was the same day every day do you
919
6653270
9030
111:02
mean Groundhog Day yes I suppose so that's what I said the other day I said
920
6662300
4770
111:07
that this feels like I'm living the same day over and over and
921
6667070
5399
111:12
over again so that's it I think the worst regret is for things you didn't do
922
6672469
8130
111:20
and perhaps you could have changed your life for the better yes one of the
923
6680599
5911
111:26
things that we often do in life is give up I think that is one of the most
924
6686510
8459
111:34
destructive things that most people do in their lives they give up they say oh
925
6694969
4770
111:39
no no that's it it's too hard it's too difficult I don't want to do it I can't
926
6699739
8970
111:48
do it and then you tell yourself that you can't do these things so you feed
927
6708709
4591
111:53
yourself with all of those negative emotions and then you give up
928
6713300
7020
112:00
however years later you might still sit there with that regret because you never
929
6720320
6270
112:06
tried you never tried to succeed you never tried to fulfill your ambition
930
6726590
9409
112:15
practical English tutor could someone tell me when mr. Duncan does these live

5190
113:17

113:21
the countryside then things are not as good as if you

955
6889340
6540
114:55
favorite teacher Thank You Taylor thank you also thank you for not making me cry
956
6895880
8240
115:04
because it would be so watery and I started shedding those tears it would be
957
6904120
12130
115:16
terrible what a horrible way to end the lesson so thank you very much for saving
958
6916250
6780
115:23
my tears I am making green tea says re are you really that sounds very nice I'm
959
6923030
9720
115:32
not a big fan of tea without milk so I always prefer
960
6932750
3719
115:36
to put some milk and also some sugar in my tea M & M 8m hello m8 m which
961
6936469
13831
115:50
internet connection do you have I am using my 4G connection so this is
962
6950300
6360
115:56
completely wireless I am outside I'm not using Wi-Fi so this
963
6956660
5640
116:02
is actually coming through 4G so there is a transmitter just over there in fact
964
6962300
6810
116:09
I can see it on the horizon and because I'm high up I have a very good signal so
965
6969110
7710
116:16
from the transmitter all the way over to my house there is a very good line of
966
6976820
7890
116:24
sight so that means that the signal has nothing in the way and that's the reason
967
6984710
5610
116:30
why the signal here is so good because over there the transmitter is high up
968
6990320
7320
116:37
and Here I am high up so this is a very good way of streaming live and also it's
969
6997640
7950
116:45
a very good way to get a nice strong signal as well so that's why the quality
970
7005590
6090
116:51
of this live stream is so good oh hello we as Lara hello where's lava or weather

7241810
7200
120:49
very serious at the moment you are right I think so you are right because things
1006
7249010
7459
120:56
around the world in some places they are getting better however in some places
1007
7256469
4931
121:01
they are getting worse such as here in the UK so yesterday we had a very big
1008
7261400
7200
121:08
very large number of fatalities yesterday unfortunately so things here
1009
7268600
8160
121:16
in the UK are still not good I don't want to sound as if I'm trying to cause
1010
7276760
6629
121:23
alarm but things here in the UK are still not good do you have nightingales
1011
7283389
7911
121:31
asks Vitesse we don't the nightingale is now a very rare bird did you know that
1012
7291300
8050
121:39
so nightingales you often find them in certain parts of the country in the
1013
7299350
6930
121:46
south and certain places where farming hasn't disturbed their habitat
1014
7306280
7580
121:53
so yes you will find that there are nightingales but around here
1015
7313860

121:57
unfortunately there aren't any nightingales however we do have song
