beautiful language that is English and guess what as I just mentioned the

weekend is just around the corner which means that it's Friday

is there anyone there tap once for yes and twice for now did you hear the Big

Bang this morning well I did because it was very close to where I was this

morning something rather dramatic happened in the area where I live some

cooling towers at the local power station were demolished and it was

streamed on YouTube live this morning you can actually watch it on my youtube

channel so that was very exciting I must admit but there is something even more

exciting than that and that's being here live on YouTube on English addict and

don't forget you can catch me here on YouTube on Sunday Wednesday Friday 2pm

UK time not only that but also tomorrow I'm planning to do a special

live stream now I'm going to see if this will work tomorrow I'm not sure at the

moment but I'm hoping we will be live tomorrow from the Much Wenlock Christmas

Fair which is taking place tomorrow Saturday the 7th of December so I'm

hoping at some point tomorrow to be live with you from the Christmas Fair it all

depends on what the weather is like to be honest so perhaps the weather will be

bad tomorrow I'm not sure although at the moment the forecast seems to be

quite good so that is what I'm planning to do tomorrow I'm planning to do a live

stream from the Much Wenlock Christmas Fair it is an event that is held every

year during the first week of December and hopefully I will be there tomorrow

streaming live to you we will have to wait and see what actually happens so

here we are then for those who want to get in touch by the way because I know a

lot of people like to get in touch they like to follow me on Facebook or maybe

you want to contact me through my email address or maybe you want to make a

small donation to allow my work to continue here are the addresses

so now there is no excuse for not knowing what the address is and my

facebook page and as I said if you want to make a donation you can as well

because I have such a busy month ahead so lots of fun things this morning we

were all watching the Power Station cooling towers being demolished

apparently the technical term for it is a blowdown I didn't know that so

apparently when you demolish something like a skyscraper or a chimney or in the

case of this morning for cooling towers apparently they call it a blowdown

so now you know well I'll be blown I didn't know that so I hope you are okay

today of course we have the live chat oh hello to the live chat I'm not sure how

many people will be joining me today because I know some people are still at

work some people have a very busy weekend planned so if you are here today

here we are on Friday Friday the 6th of December and did you catch my livestream

last Wednesday I was turning on my Christmas lights and now my Christmas

lights are shining brightly on my house and many of the villages around where I

live have all had a little look in fact I caught two people sneaking onto my

garden the other night they were trying to have a look at my lights well at

least I think that's what they were doing of course they might have been

stalking me which is nothing unusual really hello Hwang hello seen em hi seen

em nice to see you back here today we are talking about an interesting subject

some people might say it is a little deep for a Friday however here it is we

are talking about words and phrases that we can use to describe a person's

personality so when we say a person we are talking about an individual and each

individual has their own personality the things that make them the person they

are so when we talk about a person's personality we are talking about the way

in which a person behaves maybe the way they interact with other people the way

they talk the way they behave generally whether whether they are very sociable

or maybe they are unsociable so personality and I suppose I should

ask the question also what type of personality do you think

you have so what type of personality do you think you have you can let us know

on the live chat because we are now live broadcasting across the worldwide web of

the Internet isn't that nice I know these days we

hear a lot of negative things about the internet but can I just say there are

lots of positive things out there as well including hopefully me so I like to

think that I am a positive influence on the Internet even though some people

might disagree a man is here as well hi to you nice to see you

Rosa hello also to Ramkumar and Luis Mendez is here Luis Mendez is waving

hello hi to you and there was a lot going on yesterday in Paris I don't know

if you saw all of the protests taking place because over the past few weeks

there have been protests taking place at the weekend with the yellow vests but

yesterday there was a really big protest that took place not only in Paris but

also across France as well many people in France quite unhappy and that is an

understatement

hello also Tomika hi Mika nice to see you here as well don't forget we have

moderators taking care of the livestream and also the chat today I didn't see the

demolition I will watch it later on Thank You Rosa

good day CNM please mr. Duncan come to Turkey I

have been to Turkey before twice I even made a YouTube video an English lesson

in Turkey and it is available on my youtube channel talking of my videos yes

there is a new website that I am at the moment creating building trying my best

to put together I really wish I could afford to pay someone to do this for me

but unfortunately I can't afford it so I have to do it myself so yes I am

creating my I'm creating my website at the moment I'm just reading some of the

comments by the way sometimes I get very distracted by what I see on my little

screen down here hello Alberto hello mr. Duncan I can't

stay I've got to go I hope any what everyone is staying is everyone staying

I hope so Douglas Douglas floor man hello to you why did you start your

YouTube channel on the 31st of October and not another day how did you have the

idea to start your YouTube channel Thank You Douglas that's a very interesting

question I was actually working in China when I started my YouTube channel and it

was way back in the early days of YouTube in 2006 and it was October and

interestingly enough it was during the holiday in China because

lots of national holidays that take place in October in China so I was with

my friend Zhang Wei and he was on my computer going through the internet

looking at various things and then he said to me did you know mr. Duncan that

you can show videos and play videos on the internet nowadays so I was very

intrigued by that so that's it that's where it all started

on a misty October evening in China and that was when my YouTube channel was

created and I've been here ever since so I've just had my 13th anniversary on

YouTube 13 years I've been doing this goodness me so Douglas I hope that

explains why I chose the 31st of October it was just that day no reason why to be

honest hello a flower again yes in France it

France they are very angry and unhappy about the retirement reforms that the

president wants to make well we have had very similar things here with the

retirement age of women in the UK and their pension rights so there is a very

similar thing happening here in the UK as well mainly concerning women and

their right to have a pension hello also to Robin

hello Robin watching in Taiwan I have a friend who lives where you live

hello also to Cesar it is a big surprise when I saw you showing the loud boom and

then there was lots of dust yes very dramatic events taking place not

very far away from my house today hello also too

Mero Christina Christina it's so nice to see you again oh and also my my nephew

is also on at the moment hello Damien nice to see you here as well

hello mr. Duncan it was impressive impressive watching the cooling tower

demolition I remember when they demolished the towers in stone now stone

is a small town very close to where I was born which is Stafford so hello to

my nephew Damien nice to see you here today

sometimes my family members do join me here on my livestream I don't know why I

have no no idea why Sharda hello mr. Duncan I hope you are doing great

I'm not too bad I must be honest I feel ok but I have a very busy weekend coming

up because I will be going along tomorrow to the Much Wenlock Christmas

Fair so that's where I'm going tomorrow and I will be doing a livestream from

there as well and who knows I might bump in to some local people who might want

to say hello to you so that might be exciting and interesting at least I hope

so anyway at least I hope so that's all I can do

hello to AB his check watching in India hello to you hello to

lots of people yes abhishek Yadav I hope I pronounced

your name right

hello also to tan Chang hello Tan Cheng nice to see you today where are you

watching at the moment thank you very much

Robin Liang has a question about the thing that I am NOT going to talk about

by the way lots of things happening next week here in the UK we have a general

election we have to vote next week for a new government it's ever so exciting

I've never seen or heard so many people telling lies in such a short space of

time that's all I'm saying Chintan hello sir please suggest how I

can prepare for my IELTS exam this is something that I'm asked a lot can I

just say if you are about to take your IELTS exam you should already know what

you have to do so to be honest with you it is always best to prepare yourself

for any exam so if you are going to take your IELTS exam soon you should already

know what is expected what will be in the test and there are many ways of

finding out you can find information on the Internet and they will show you some

examples of the IELTS test but to be honest with you there are many things

that you have to get right you have to prove that you can understand English

and also that you can communicate in English and you can read English and of

course your deep understanding of using English in day-to-day conversations so

there are many things you have to get right to be honest many things indeed

hello also to my roots hello my roots nice to see you here is it your first

time see name asks mr. Duncan have you ever oh that's an interesting question

have you ever fallen in love with someone of course I suppose it's

something we all do at some point in our lives we might meet that perfect person

we might see them across a crowded room and maybe from that moment onwards we

know that that person will be with me or you forever so yes I think it's happened

all the time it happens all the time it happens to you it happens to you and you

and you and also me so we've all fallen in love some of us many times and some

of us sometimes of course you can fall in love and you can also fall out of

love as well so just because you fall in love doesn't necessarily mean that that

love will last forever it must be true because if it wasn't true there would be

no such thing as divorce when you think about it

hello - Janette Rhett I remember one of mr. Bean's episodes and he was at a

Christmas Fair and I enjoyed seeing it well to be honest with you that is what

I'm doing tomorrow I'm going along to the Much Wenlock Christmas Fair tomorrow

and I will be doing a live stream I don't know what time I will be doing it

at the moment because it all depends on what time I get there and also what

the weather is like so there are a few things that will decide how tomorrow's

live stream from the Much Wenlock Christmas Fair will actually go so we

will wait and see I'm not quite sure at the moment so we are talking about

character different types of personality so a person's behavior their character

the way they behave towards other people the way they socialize it all depends on

their personality the way you behave we are looking at that in a few moments

however for now we are going to take a look at one of my full English lessons

so here is something for you to enjoy and this is from full English number 14

cows in a field all being good cows in a field chewing the cud to chew the curd

as an idiom means to talk about general things in a friendly way or to consider

something carefully you are chewing the curd

just like this cow

these cows seem very friendly don't you think

can you see what I have on my back it is a very useful thing for carrying stuff

around and walks him it is a backpack a backpack helps to keep your hands-free

while carrying things you put stuff in your backpack so you don't have to carry

anything in your hands a backpack can be small and lightweight or it can be very

large and hold many things hikers often use backpacks so as to allow them to

carry many items at once safety equipment waterproof clothing

survival gear or even a fold away tent can be carried on your back using a

backpack the most common type of backpack looks like this something not

too large and not too small very convenient for when you have lots of

things to carry you can carry a small backpack over both shoulders or just

over one some backpacks even have wheels on them so they can be pulled around

like a trolley a backpack can also be called a rucksack

you are not going to believe what I'm about to say but say it I will most

native speakers of English make mistakes while using the language that is to say

in their day-to-day use of English there are many reasons for this first there is

the consideration of the accent being used some English accents clip or alter

the way in which English is used this applies to both British and American

English speakers the speed at which some people speak English changes the sounds

of certain words if you add accent and speed together then you will get a very

different sounding version of English from a grammatical point of view

mistakes are often made by native speakers double negatives such as I

didn't do nothing are common in everyday speech the use of certain words can also

lead to mistakes being made confusion between words such as historic and

historical affect and effect elude and elude assume and presume these are just

some examples of common mistakes made by native English speakers

then there is the spelling of certain words native English speakers will often

spell certain words incorrectly good examples of this include amount

fascinate necessary definitely achieve acknowledge success

imitate familiar scissors and vacuum there are of course many others my point

here is that even though a person speaks and uses English as their first language

they will still be prone to making the occasional mistake it would be fair to

say that on a daily basis very few native English speakers get it

right all the time and that includes me

it is possible to have time on your hands to have time on your hands means

that you have plenty of spare time you are doing nothing at the moment you have

lots of time on your hands we can ask a person do you have time to

see me could you spare some time for me next week when are you free to be free

is to have spare time the word spare can also be a verb to spare some time is to

make sure you will be free you offer your time to someone at a certain time

you will be free and available time ticks by it never stops time marches on

the time and the place is when and where to run after time is where all things

come to an end you are out of time

hmm it is true nothing lasts forever

welcome everyone here we are then it is now just after 232 here in the UK and

this is English attic live broadcasting live on YouTube I hope you are having a

good Friday the weekend is just around the corner I have a busy one what about

you have you got something planned for this weekend

something interesting maybe something you want to do talking of interesting

things we are talking about our personality today so words that can be

used to describe a person's way of behaving so their general personality

relates to their character so we often talk about a person's way of behaving

their manner their way of controlling themselves maybe in social situations so

we often talk about a person's character so a person's character is anything that

can describe the way they behave quite often in certain situations and that's

why I was asking today what type of personality do you have we also talk

about a person's individuality and this is another interesting word because this

often relates to a person's social rights as well so a person's

individuality is often seen as their right to be themselves so you will often

hear a person's individuality being spoken about or talked about as a

subject when we talk about a person's personal rights or their freedom their

right to be an individual a person so individuality and as you can see we have

the word individual which relates to one person so quite

often we will use this word to describe the right to have the freedom to be

yourself your individuality your unique personality your character very

interesting word here is another one that I think also sums up this subject

quite well so each person has their own certain

characteristic their own way of behaving and we might describe that as their

distinctiveness so the thing that makes them stand out as being them and we all

have different personalities we all have different ways of behaving so when we

talk about your distinctiveness it means your individuality the things that make

you unique and we are all unique really that's one of the things I like about

talking to other people on the internet and communicating in general whether it

is on the internet or in the real world so distinctiveness the things that make

each one of us the person we are to be distinct is to be clear and noticed your

personal habits your behavior we often describe these as

your traits a person's traits relates to the way they behave the way they handle

themselves the way they control their personality the type of person they are

so traits normally describes the types of things that a person does when they

are in public or socializing the things that make them individual their

individual traits it's an interesting word it might be the first time that

you've seen this word however it is often used traits a

person's traits your way of behaving your manner your character we often talk

about a person's persona so that is almost like the character that you see

the character that you experience when you are with an individual so when you

meet someone for the first time you might try to work out what their persona

is as a person so the way they behave the way they act the way they control

themselves your persona my persona and as you can see this is where the word

personality comes from and also personal as well so when we talk about personal

things we talk about things that relate to us as individuals so something that

is unique to you me and everyone as individuals so we talk about someone's

persona so that is also like their character the way they behave the way

they handle themselves their uniqueness and I think we are all unique however

and you may have noticed this where you live there are always people who seem to

stand out more than others have you noticed that so you might walk along a

street you might walk through your town center and you might notice some people

more than others and there are many reasons for this

maybe the way they are dressed so maybe they are wearing some extravagant

clothing maybe there are they are wearing very little clothing maybe there

is something that draws your attention maybe they are behaving in a noisy way

maybe they are being disruptive maybe they appear slightly unusual so there

are many reasons why someone might be unique and I always think that some

people seem to stand out more than others and of course there is the

opposite where there are some people who never make any impression on other

people so I think sometimes in life I think when I meet people I think

sometimes people don't remember me however it turns out that they do so a

person's uniqueness the thing that makes them them and also makes them stand out

also a person's qualities as well so we might discuss someone's qualities the

things that make them good the things that make them a nice person to know so

quite often when we talk about qualities we will often talk about the positive

things so maybe a person is very friendly maybe they are polite maybe

they are very patient when they meet people and they will listen carefully to

what other people say so a person's quality is quite often we will use this

to describe their positive ways of behaving and also their character as

well your qualities hello to the live chat I haven't forgotten about you don't

worry by the way outside do you want to have a

look outside the weather isn't too bad even though we had some rain earlier so

there is the live view looking out of my window across the beautiful Shropshire

landscape and a little nearer just behind my house looking into the

distance there you can see one of the most famous landmarks

this area in fact they used to be two very famous landmarks in this area there

was this and also the cooling towers at iron bridge power station sadly they

were demolished this morning so they are no more they've gone

did you see it this morning did you watch the chimneys did you watch the

cooling towers falling to the ground this morning

very dramatic hello also to Lewis you and your family to Rosa must be very

pleased to celebrate the anniversary of your sister who was born in 1938 my

goodness all those the same age is my mother almost the same age is my mother

there so congratulations to Rosa and also to your sister as well Rakesh

hello Rakesh nice to see you after maybe a week thanks for your useful videos and

also this place is really good thank you very much I'm glad you like it

hi Lee Kwang asks when will we have snow in England I'm not sure today the

weather is crazy it's very warm outside it's about 13 degrees which is very

unusual for December so actually it's very warm outside at the moment even

though also it's worth mentioning that it is also very windy we had some very

strong winds last night you can see they are actually blowing quite strongly now

as well so that's the view outside some people like to have a look at my window

to see what is going on row sir we are talking about personality Rolfie do

these sentences have the same meaning I like your personality

I like your persona yes so a person's personality is their

character so their persona is the way they behave of course some people like

to pretend that they behave in a certain way so sometimes people use a fake

persona maybe they behave in a way that isn't

really themselves they do something that is a little different because they think

they have to behave in a certain way so some people can can put on they can

pretend to have a certain type of persona ro sir is here hello ro sir

Irene says I won't be with you on Sunday as I have a musical rehearsal Irene good

luck with your rehearsal for Sunday hello also to Berlin hello Berlin I

haven't seen you for a while on my live chat a quality of mr. Duncan is the love

of his job he loves teaching English and I like that Thank You Berlin I do like

teaching English I'm very fascinated from a personal point of view by the

English language so you might describe me as an English addict to be honest so

that is part of my personality I would say that I am in love with the English

language so when we talk about character we talk about different types of

character now I want to make it clear that I'm not saying whether a type of

personality is positive or negative so that isn't my job so please don't

complain I'm not saying whether something is a good character or a bad

character or maybe a positive characteristic or a negative

characteristic so I'm going to show you these words

I've just noticed something can you see the magpie there is a magpie on the tree

it's the front of my garden can you see the magpie he looks very happy even

though he's struggling to stay on that tree because it's very windy

hello mr. magpie and goodbye mr. magpie sorry I couldn't resist showing you that

so here we go some ways of describing a person's character we can say extrovert

a person who is extrovert so if a person is extrovert it means they are not

afraid to show their true character they are very outgoing they are a person who

is not shy and they will often talk to strangers as well so even though we are

often a little too shy to talk to people we don't know an extrovert person might

be willing to talk to anyone at any time in any place so extrovert a person who

is lively outgoing they are extrovert so I think a lot of people are extrovert in

certain types of jobs you have to be an extrovert maybe if you are in sales so

many years ago when I was very very young so long ago I can just about

remember it I used to work in sales and one of the things you have to be if you

want to work in sales is to be extrovert you have to have some outgoing

personality you have to be able to express your character so a person is

extrovert another interesting word here amiable if

you are amiable it means you are a person who can be spoken to or

approached easily so you are a person who isn't afraid to speak to people and

also you make other people around you feel comfortable and relaxed to the

point where they can speak to you so you might be friendly outgoing warm kind you

might be described as amiable amiable I like this word again this might be a new

word so an amiable person is a person who is friendly warm and also

approachable as well bright a person who is bright now this word can be used in

many ways bright can be something that is easy to see maybe a person is bright

when we are talking about their character maybe they are a happy person

maybe they are jolly they get excited very easily they like to have fun they

are bright they are a person who likes to have a good time they enjoy being

with other people they are bright they have a bright personality we can also

use this to express cleverness if a person is intelligent or clever we

might describe them as bright another word outgoing outgoing an outgoing

person very similar to extrovert so if you are an extrovert you are an outgoing

person you are a person who likes to explore different things to do different

things and to meet as many people as possible so

you might be an outgoing person a person who likes to do things quite often with

other people around here's another one genial as well so this is very similar

to being approachable or warm a person who is genial you have a good

personality you are a person that is good to be around so you are genial very

nice I like that word and I suppose the basic word we often think of is friendly

so if you are friendly yes you seem like a nice person

you seem very friendly I think you are a friendly person he seems friendly of

course you can have the opposite don't go next door they have a big ferocious

dog and it isn't very friendly it is not friendly so we can express

someone or something that is not easy to approach as being unfriendly if you are

forward again a person who is not shy who will talk to strangers who is very

good in a social situation we might say that they are forward you are very

forward perhaps you are in a wine bar and you see a beautiful girl standing by

the bar and you can't resist going over to say hello to her you are very forward

so you are not shy you don't mind going over to speak to someone you don't know

you are very forward of course this can be a positive thing and a negative thing

so you can be too forward with someone so maybe if you come on too strongly if

you are approaching a person you are attracted to you might be described as

being too forward so I suppose there is a way there is a

correct way of approaching a person and also an incorrect way

Gregorius if you are gregarious it means you are friendly Anna says here on the

live chat the classmates are all very friendly I agree with you I think so so

many of the people that join me on my live stream are gregarious friendly warm

and outgoing I think so so if someone is gregarious it means they like to make

friends they like to meet new people and they are generally friendly they are

gregarious if we describe a person who has a positive and good personality

maybe the way they think is also good we might describe that type of person as

liberal so a person who is liberal might be accepting of other people no matter

where they live what they do in their lives so all of the things that make

each person the person they are you will accept liberal so a liberal person

generally speaking is a person who is quite accepting they don't really judge

people too harshly they are not prejudiced

I suppose that's another way of describing it so if you are liberal it

means you have a very easygoing way of dealing with

people and the issues connected to those people you are easygoing

I like this some people say that I'm easygoing but I don't think I am I tell

you who is easygoing I will tell you right now you know what I'm going to say

mr. Steve I think mr. Steve is the most easygoing person I've ever met

thank you very much mr. Steve yes talking about positive types of

personality sociable if a person is very sociable then they are a person who

likes to meet other people they love being around other people they are very

sociable they enjoy the company of other people and most importantly of all they

normally get along with people as well so they are very sociable mr. Steve once

again is a very sociable person I'm not sure if I am that might surprise you I

think sometimes I am not very sociable sometimes I just like to sit in the

corner and be myself and contemplate world and everything that's happening

around me so sometimes I would say that I'm not very sociable I don't like to be

in social situations where I don't know people or I don't know the people around

me so sometimes mr. Steve will take me somewhere one of his work parties or

like earlier this year we went to Portugal and I met lots of new people

for the first time so that was very strange and in those situations I might

seem not very sociable but once I relaxed I normally become very sociable

so I'm not a person who is comfortable around lots of people who I don't know I

can be very introvert and shy we will look at those words a little bit later

on hello also to a person who is open-minded hello to you are you

open-minded a person who is open-minded is a person who accepts other people for

who they are so you might be quite gregarious

liberal in the way you think so you don't judge people too harshly so you

will be quite open-minded so there are many open-minded people around of course

there are many people whose minds are not open to all sorts of things so an

open-minded person is a person who generally accepts people for who they

are no one is perfect we are all slightly flawed we all have our

imperfections we all have our strange habits so quite often in this world it

is a good idea to be open-minded about these things a person who is colorful

might have a very what's the word I'm looking for

extravagant they might have an extravagant way of dressing or maybe

their character is very extravagant a colorful person so this doesn't just

refer to the clothes this also refers to the person's behavior as well so maybe

they are very colorful very outgoing a colorful person very colorful of

course we have some negative ones as well sorry about that but if we have the

positive ones we have to also show some of the negative ones as well so here are

some negative words to describe a person's character arrogant

ooh arrogant have you ever met an arrogant person a person who thinks they

are better than everyone else arrogant a person who thinks they are

superior to other people arrogant so an arrogant person is a person whose

character is maybe unfriendly maybe they will look

down on other people who they consider to be not as good as them an arrogant

person I'm sure in your life you have met someone who comes across as arrogant

hmm another one conceited very similar so a person who

is very self-centered they like to talk about themselves they are obsessed with

the things they do and they always like to tell people about the things they are

doing or maybe something that they've recently bought or maybe the holiday

that they're going on soon so a person who is very self-centered they like to

talk about themselves they like to concentrate on their own activities and

their own life they can be described as quite conceited a conceited person I can

say safely that I have met many people in fact it might be a way of life here

in the UK I've noticed over the past few years people have become more arrogant

and conceited especially when they are talking about their lives and their

family and the things they own and the things they've bought and maybe the

things that their children are doing so some people can be very conceited one of

the worst things is when you have a conversation with someone and all they

do is talk about themselves rather me me me me me me me me me but when you say

something about yourself you try to introduce something else into the

conversation about you they just ignore it and they carry on talking about

themselves so yes I have come across many people like that and it would

appear to be part of society see now in this country so you might see

people trying to show off or they feel as if they are better than

other people because they have something they own a nice car or maybe they have

lovely expensive holidays or maybe they live in a big house and they think they

are better than other people boastful so this is something that I

just mentioned a person who likes to show off talk about the things they have

o come round to my house this weekend you can have a look at my new kitchen

I've just had my new kitchen designed you can have a look at my new carpet

have a look at my new car have a look at my new house have a look at my new shoes

oh they are so expensive boastful a person who is boastful they like to talk

about the things they have quite often to make other people feel small here's

another one it's negative I'm very sorry about that

unfriendly an unfriendly person an unfriendly person is someone who you

cannot approach you cannot talk to they don't want to know you they don't want

to talk to anyone they seem unfriendly however sometimes this can be mistaken

for being unfriendly so maybe a person is just shy maybe they are a little shy

they they feel afraid to say something so sometimes a person can appear

unfriendly however they are not they are just shy so that can happen a lot in

life we were talking about liberal people

earlier people who are open-minded well here is the opposite people who are

narrow-minded if you are a narrow-minded person your view of the world is not

very open you have certain views certain attitudes to life the world people that

is not very open so maybe you have some ways of looking at certain people in

society whether it is their age their culture their race their sexuality so

there you go narrow-minded and narrow-minded person

and we often come across narrow-minded people people who have very narrow views

of the world and I suppose the other word we can use is intolerant

a person who is intolerant is a person who generally speaking is closed-minded

they are intolerant they are not liberal they can be quite conservative maybe and

I'm not talking about politics I don't mean from a political point of view I

just mean generally so maybe they are a person who dislikes

people from other races or who have certain religious views or have an

unusual taste in anything early that's all I'm saying

so intolerant people I'm sure you know someone who is intolerant there are lots

of intolerant people around here are some other words and I don't want you to

mistake these for negative words so I'm not going

say that these are negative words because they're not but they do describe

a certain type of personality but not negative okay can I just say that so we

are all clear so no one will complain

introvert a person who is an introvert is a person who does not have a strong

personality maybe they are very withdrawn they don't like to socialize

they feel awkward and uncomfortable around people they don't know so in an

introvert an introvert person can be described as being introverted so

introverted means you are an introvert you are not outgoing maybe you are a

private person maybe you like to keep your private life to yourself you don't

like talking to other people and as we all know people can be very nosy

sometimes so an introvert person is a person who doesn't mix with other people

they don't socialize as much as others they might be shy they might be very

uncomfortable around other people when I was a teenager I was an introvert I

would describe myself definitely as a person who was an introvert I was quite

a shy person very self-conscious I was incredibly tall I was taller than many

people in my school and also very thin so I hated my appearance I was

incredibly self-conscious about the way I looked and I was also introvert as

well however I did enjoy telling jokes and doing things that made other people

laugh so quite often that was my way of expressing myself and maybe maybe that

hasn't changed right up to this day so introvert a person who is introvert

shy person who is shy we can all be shy from time to time I think we can all be

a little bit shy sometimes so I don't think being shy is something that is

special to certain people I think we can all be shy sometimes maybe if we have to

do a performance maybe you have to go on stage and give a speech to a lot of

people you might feel a little shy doing it however when you start maybe your

shyness will vanish so being shy a person who is modest a person who is

modest is someone who does not like to boast or show-off or talk about

themselves or their achievements so again I think Steve is quite modest he

is a very modest person he's achieved quite a lot in his life however he

rarely likes to talk about it so even now we are doing something different

Steve and I we are doing something a little different so Steve doesn't want

to talk about it though we did something last Wednesday which now means we are

officially in show business apparently but Steve doesn't want to talk about it

because he is so modest and that's what Steve is like he is very modest humble

humble a person who is humble once more does not like to talk about themselves

or their achievements

Rolfie says I learn more from your stories than from the English lesson

itself well I always like to talk about things from my own personal experience

but I always worry that maybe if I talk about myself too much you might think

that I'm not very modest so so that's the problem they're a retiring person

now this is an interesting word because it can be used in many ways so if you

are retiring it means you finish working so your

working life comes to an end you retire also if you are retiring it can mean you

are going to bed so you are retiring I will retire now it

means I'm going to bed also a retiring person can be a shy person someone who

doesn't like talking about themselves they might be timid shy introvert so

retiring a person can be shy and retiring someone who does not like to

perform maybe they don't like to do anything that makes them stand out in

the crowd they might be inhibited and again when I was young I was quite

inhibited I was a very awkward teenager I was shy I hated my appearance I

thought I was thin I didn't like having my photograph taken so yes I was quite

shy as a child certainly during my teenage years I have been asked in a

past would you like to relive your teenage years and my answer is always no

no thank you inhibited a person who doesn't like to

do something that will get the attention of other people so maybe they don't want

to perform a song or maybe they don't want to stand out in the crowd

they are quite inhibited I suppose I should say hello to the live chat before

is shy and timid the same thing yes if you are timid it means you don't

like to be around other people you are shy you are not open you are not

extrovert you are shy you are timid but they are not necessarily bad things

hello to Irene hello to Anna Kobi hello Luis mr. Duncan people boast all the

time about possessions money not about knowledge no people rarely talk about

the things they know and the reason is and this is my theory quite often if you

talk too much about the things you know to other people they might ask you about

those things and so you become very exposed as a person so they might ask

you about the things you know but then they might ask questions about the

things that you say you know about and maybe you don't know everything about

that thing so knowledge can be something that we are quite protective about

because no one likes to look as if they have no knowledge or maybe that they

don't know about a certain subject now it doesn't bother me if I don't know

about something if I have no knowledge of something I will say it so I don't

know everything in this world there are things that I'm still learning about

even at my age a person who is withdrawn might also be very similar as well they

are withdrawn they hold themselves back they are not extrovert

they are withdrawn they don't like to go out very often they don't like to

socialize you might describe them as withdrawn

of course being withdrawn can also be a sign of other things as well such as

depression so if a person changes their personality if they appear to change the

way they behave maybe they become withdrawn or a little awkward or

antisocial they might actually be suffering from something else they might

have something like depression or anxiety timid here's a word I used

earlier timid if a person is timid it means they are very shy imagine a little

mouse hiding in a bush and then the mouse will put its head out of the bush

it will poke its head out but then suddenly it will go back in the reason

is because it's very timid so something that is timid is shy it doesn't like to

be seen it is very self-conscious maybe very self-aware a timid person timid

Jamelia says something very interesting here some people can be House proud mr.

Duncan and I love talking about their houses without being boastful this is

true yes I do like hearing about people's accomplishments especially when

they've had to work very hard so there is a fine line I always say there is a

line between showing your achievements and boasting so yes you are right there

is a fine line however quite often when you meet a person certainly around where

I live there are a lot of people around here who who loved talking about

themselves about their new expensive things and quite often they will talk

about it for a very long time

finally this is the last word we are using today to describe character a

person who is unassuming so when we say assume it means you guess something you

make a guess without knowing the facts so a person who is an assuming will not

judge anyone they will meet everyone and they will meet them and accept them they

won't come to any conclusion about that person

they won't judge that person they will be very unassuming

they will not make their mind up about anyone Thank You ro sir Thank You M in

rose sir could you tell us the best way to learn English from a pre intermediate

level to advanced level from the home please

Thank You Youssef well there are many ways of improving your English level but

of course it all depends on how fast you do it and what you do so I always say

that if you want to improve your English from one level to another level

you must try and make all of English part of your life every day in some way

so I always think learning is something you do over time it is something that is

slow and gradual thank you hi Lee Kwang thank you also sweetness
