216931
3053
03:40
Because I am not too bad.
19
220218
2119
03:42
I had a nice sleep.
20
222337
2085
03:44
As I always say, if you want to wake up in the morning
21
224422
3754
03:48
refreshed, always make sure you get a solid night sleep.
22
228176
6539
03:54
A lovely dream, perhaps, as you drift away
23
234799
4638
03:59
into the land of nod, as we call it.
24
239520
4021
04:03
Here we are then.
25
243624
718
04:04
My name is Duncan. I talk about the English language.
26
244342
3436
04:07
You might say that I am an English addict
27
247845
4071
04:11
and I have a feeling up my left leg that you might be one of those as well.
28
251933
5638
04:17
It's lovely to have you here again.
29
257605
3003
04:20
The introductions have been done, and I am here with you
30
260841
5105
04:26
for around about 50 minutes, maybe even one hour.
31
266030
4821
04:30
If you behave yourselves, perhaps.
32
270901
3370
04:34
We are back together. Hello to the live chat.
33
274338
2669
04:37
Of course it would not be this.
34
277007
2019
04:39
It would not be English addict without you getting involved as well.
35
279026
5055
04:44
So hello to the live chat.
36
284098
1968
04:46
I see. I've noticed that.
37
286066
2436
04:48
Beatrice, you are first here today.
38
288502
4421
04:53
You are the first one on the live chat.
39
293007
2252
04:55
Congratulations.
40
295259
8642
05:03
Very nice.
41
303984
2069
05:06
It's good to know that your finger is very fast.
42
306053
3520
05:09
We also have V tests close second, almost first.
43
309656
5973
05:15
But today? Second.
44
315712
2469
05:18
My roots is here as well. Palmira.
45
318181
3237
05:21
We also have Zika.
46
321501
2820
05:24
Nice to see you here as well.
47
324321
2252
05:26
Can you see the sheep behind me?
48
326573
2035
05:28
Look. There they are.
49
328608
1168
05:29
There are some sheep in the field and.
50
329776
2219
05:31
Yes, that is the view right now out of my studio window.
51
331995
4805
05:36
Everything is looking lovely today.
52
336800
2269
05:39
It does look like autumn.
53
339069
1568
05:40
It looks very much as if Autumn is here.
54
340637
5155
05:45
However,
55
345876
1901
05:47
I was watching the weather forecast last night
56
347777
3037
05:50
and they mentioned not directly, but they did say
57
350814
6606
05:57
over the weekend, the weekend that is coming this way,
58
357504
3637
06:01
it is going to get very cold.
59
361224
3237
06:04
And they did they didn't say it directly,
60
364461
4604
06:09
but they did
61
369149
1434
06:10
suggest that we might get
62
370583
4722
06:15
some snow.
63
375388
1585
06:16
I'm not sure if we will get any snow.
64
376973
3220
06:20
But as you know, I have already predicted
65
380276
4905
06:25
a harsh winter.
66
385248
2019
06:27
I think we are going to have a lot of snow this winter.
67
387267
4004
06:31
I will not be surprised.
68
391287
2269
06:33
I know a lot of people are talking about global warming,
69
393556
3003
06:36
but I think we are going to have a chilly, harsh winter.
70
396559
4938
06:41
It is just a feeling that I have.
71
401581
2119
06:43
I don't know why, but I just have a little feeling.
72
403700
2969
06:46
So we will see if I'm right about my my weather
73
406669
3370
06:50
prediction, whether or not the weather will get worse
74
410239
3687
06:53
or whether or not we will get some snow.
75
413926
4054
06:57
We will have to wait and see.
76
417980
1919
06:59
As you know, I love it when it snows.
77
419899
2502
07:02
I get very excited, in fact.
78
422401
4505
07:06
who else is here today?
79
426989
3387
07:10
very nice.
80
430459
1018
07:11
We have Lewis Mendez
81
431477
4822
07:16
is here today.
82
436365
2686
07:19
Hello, Lewis. Nice to see you back as well.
83
439051
3220
07:22
Can I say also a big thank you, Lewis,
84
442338
3153
07:25
for your lovely photographs that you sent for your anniversary
85
445491
4288
07:29
and your wife has the most beautiful smile.
86
449779
4220
07:34
And can you pass that message on to your wife?
87
454066
3003
07:37
That was lovely.
88
457319
801
07:38
I did enjoy seeing your photographs that you sent to me the other day.
89
458120
5589
07:43
Christina loves snow.
90
463792
3154
07:47
I do.
91
467096
934
07:48
I like snow.
92
468030
1318
07:49
I'm not sure if I want to be out in the snow all the time.
93
469348
3987
07:53
I could not live in a country that has a lot of snow.
94
473419
4271
07:57
Parts of Canada gets lots and lots of snow through winter.
95
477706
5172
08:02
And before winter, winter begins.
96
482878
2753
08:05
And as they go into the new year, quite often they have a lot of snow as well.
97
485631
4988
08:10
I couldn't live in a place where it was always snowy or cold.
98
490853
4054
08:14
I have to be honest with you, I couldn't live in a place
99
494990
3937
08:18
like I don't know, Switzerland where they get a lot of snow.
100
498927
3687
08:22
I couldn't live anywhere like that.
101
502648
2452
08:25
I do like to enjoy the snow and the cold weather for a short time,
102
505100
4872
08:30
but I couldn't do it all the time.
103
510055
3420
08:33
Who else is here today?
104
513558
1535
08:35
We. Yanni.
105
515093
1652
08:36
Yanni Hadad.
106
516745
2402
08:39
Hello to you.
107
519147
1285
08:40
I hope I pronounce your name correctly.
108
520432
2169
08:42
I know sometimes I do.
109
522601
2919
08:45
Hello, Arielle.
110
525587
1535
08:47
how are you? Hello, Ariel.
111
527122
2853
08:49
Thank you very much for your super chat on the live chat.
112
529975
3770
08:53
Of course, you are welcome to do that.
113
533845
2853
08:56
If you are feeling a little generous.
114
536698
3003
08:59
Maybe you've recently won the lottery.
115
539718
2469
09:02
Perhaps.
116
542187
1618
09:03
I don't know
117
543805
1952
09:05
if you feel like it.
118
545757
1101
09:06
Thank you, Ira.
119
546858
1301
09:08
I like the concept of light
120
548159
2786
09:10
regarding the spread of knowledge.
121
550945
2553
09:13
Yes, I suppose we can talk about that particular thing, because that is today's subject by the way.
122
553498
6139
09:19
We are looking at words and phrases connected to light and dark.
123
559637
5923
09:25
It might seem like a strange thing to talk about,
124
565643
3787
09:29
but in fact there are many ways of using light
125
569430
3888
09:33
and dark in everyday English.
126
573318
3703
09:37
Not only connected to colour or shade,
127
577105
4805
09:41
but also other things as well.
128
581993
2903
09:44
The way we view certain things in a light way or a dark way.
129
584896
6106
09:51
So quite often those words can be used in many different ways, of course.
130
591085
5005
09:56
Light can also be
131
596340
3721
10:00
a sort of knowledge.
132
600144
2486
10:02
If you awaken your senses to the world around you,
133
602630
5439
10:08
you might say you have been enlightened.
134
608152
4204
10:12
To be enlightened is to be informed.
135
612440
4638
10:17
Maybe you discover many things about the world around you.
136
617161
5939
10:23
Knowledge is often viewed as enlightenment.
137
623184
4387
10:27
Things that you learn about, things that you grow
138
627738
4121
10:31
to understand over a period of time.
139
631976
3003
10:35
We often say that you see the light or you become enlightened.
140
635212
5205
10:40
So that is what we are talking about today.
141
640501
2786
10:43
That is the big subject.
142
643287
2186
10:45
Here is a phrase that I love and I I'm going to mention this phrase
143
645473
4471
10:49
because I do like phrases in the English language,
144
649944
4037
10:54
and I suppose that is the reason why I'm here.
145
654048
3520
10:57
Do you ever find that you come alive
146
657651
5356
11:03
at certain moments or certain times to come alive
147
663090
4688
11:07
means to suddenly become excited or maybe interested,
148
667861
5105
11:12
or suddenly you regain your energy?
149
672983
3937
11:17
I know I do.
150
677004
1485
11:18
If I'm ever doing my livestream,
151
678489
3987
11:22
I always feel a little bit more excited, a little bit more alive
152
682559
7875
11:30
and energetic, perhaps.
153
690517
2903
11:33
So I come alive
154
693420
2819
11:36
when I know that I'm doing one of my livestreams.
155
696239
4739
11:41
And you can, of course use that phrase to come alive
156
701061
4004
11:45
means to suddenly become enthusiastic,
157
705148
3687
11:49
maybe a certain thing, maybe a certain day of the week.
158
709069
4521
11:53
Maybe there is something that is coming up in your calendar
159
713657
5489
11:59
or your plans that you are excited about.
160
719146
3903
12:03
You suddenly come alive.
161
723049
3404
12:06
A person who gains confidence from doing a certain thing.
162
726536
4722
12:11
We can say that they come alive.
163
731341
2986
12:14
Certain types of perform.
164
734461
2118
12:16
Those actors, singers,
165
736579
3003
12:19
anyone who performs in front of other people, quite often
166
739816
3854
12:23
they will say that they come alive when they do that particular thing.
167
743753
7675
12:31
And I know I do.
168
751428
1084
12:32
I love it when I do my livestreams.
169
752512
2769
12:35
I really do feel as if I come alive.
170
755281
4438
12:39
I feel suddenly lively, enthusiastic.
171
759802
4355
12:44
I feel as if I have a reason
172
764207
2986
12:47
to live.
173
767277
1501
12:48
It's a great feeling when you come alive.
174
768778
4137
12:52
So maybe a person who suddenly does something
175
772999
2586
12:55
that they really enjoy, they come alive.
176
775585
3236
12:59
They suddenly become more in touch
177
779055
3770
13:02
with the people around them to come alive.
178
782909
3887
13:06
I love that expression.
179
786796
1868
13:08
So something might make you come alive.
180
788664
2820
13:11
Maybe if you have a day off work,
181
791484
3670
13:15
maybe in the morning you wake up feeling very happy and excited.
182
795238
3770
13:19
You come alive because you don't have the stress
183
799008
3153
13:22
of your work on your mind.
184
802161
3003
13:25
So you.
185
805197
951
13:26
You come alive, you wake up, you become very excited
186
806148
5589
13:31
like I do every Wednesday and Sunday.
187
811937
4388
13:36
Don't forget, you can also find me on Sunday as well.
188
816359
4504
13:40
And every Sunday I am joined by Mr.
189
820946
3838
13:44
Steve.
190
824784
1267
13:46
So you don't just get one of us on Sunday.
191
826051
3237
13:49
You get two
192
829338
2769
13:52
human beings to watch.
193
832191
3003
13:55
Hello to Inaki.
194
835377
2670
13:58
Hello to you.
195
838047
2819
14:00
Have you come alive today?
196
840866
4571
14:05
Maybe you are especially excited
197
845521
2719
14:08
or enthusiastic to join the live chat.
198
848240
3604
14:11
And don't forget, you are very welcome to say hello if it is your first time.
199

I know there are many people who are shy
200
857332
3554
14:20
and a little a little afraid of saying hello.
201
860969
3838
14:24
So if you are joining me for the first time,
202
864890
3620
14:28
then please say hello.
203
868577
2586
14:31
Don't be shy.
204
871163
2102
14:33
Give it a try.
205
873265
2936
14:36
Hello, Selma.
206
876201
1985
14:38
Hello, Selma.
207
878186
2036
14:40
I come alive when I play with my son.
208
880222
4454
14:44
Yes. Having your family around you.
209
884760
3737
14:48
Maybe the things that you love or the things that you treasure.
210
888580
5239
14:53
If they are nearby, you might feel more excited.
211
893902
4988
14:58
You might feel more enthusiastic.
212
898974
4054
15:03
You might have more energy because you are near
213
903111
3520
15:06
to those you love.
214
906715
2586
15:09
I think that is great.
215
909301
1851
15:11
I think that is very interesting.
216
911152
4305
15:15
What does come alive mean?
217
915540
2302
15:17
Well, if you come alive, it means you wake up.
218
917842
3087
15:20
You suddenly have a lot of energy, enthusiasm.
219
920929
5021
15:26
So we often use that phrase figuratively.
220
926034
4955
15:31
We are expressing the fact that that thing makes us
221
931072
4805
15:35
feel excited.
222
935960
3938
15:39
Thank you also to who else is here today?
223
939981
3470
15:43
we have Arielle, who is very busy on the live chat.
224
943518
4955
15:48
Thank you once again for your super chat as well.
225
948506
3003
15:51
It's nice to see you here.
226
951509
1468
15:52
So we are talking about a lot of things today.
227
952977
2753
15:55
Mr. Steve is excited at the moment because he is about
228
955730
4871
16:00
to get some new tyres for his car.
229
960685
3720
16:04
It is strange, I've noticed
230
964489
2852
16:07
sometimes Steve gets very excited
231
967341
4271
16:11
by the strangest things
232
971696
3003
16:14
and at the moment he's getting excited, very excited
233
974816
3570
16:18
because I have predicted that we're going to get snow
234
978386
3453
16:21
and Steve has decided to get some new tyres for his car
235
981923
4804
16:26
so he's not slipping and sliding all around the road.
236
986811
6940
16:33
Lorella says I come alive
237
993834
3304
16:37
when I travel around the world.
238
997138
4170
16:41
Travel is an exciting thing to do
239
1001392
2736
16:44
if you visit a different place, even if that place is within your own country,
240
1004128
5605
16:49
it's still exciting to explore or
241
1009850
3671
16:53
to find out new things about somewhere else.
242
1013604
5205
16:58
It is amazing, even if you travel only a short distance.
243
1018876
3920
17:02
So even here within England,
244
1022880
2636
17:05
you can travel to different parts of England
245
1025516
3820
17:09
and still find out new things.
246
1029420
2836
17:12
You can still meet interesting people.
247
1032256
3003
17:15
So I would always say that travel, however short
248
1035376
4788
17:20
or far, however near or distant you are travelling,
249
1040247
6523
17:26
it is always exciting.
250
1046837
1952
17:28
I know I used to travel a lot in my younger years,
251
1048789
4988
17:33
but of course now I have more responsibilities, I have more work to do
252
1053777
5639
17:39
so I don't have as much time to travel as I used to.
253
1059499
4488
17:44
But when I do
254
1064071
1885
17:46
it is very exciting.
255
1066039
2219
17:48
Yes, you come alive when you explore,
256
1068258
4838
17:53
when you when you travel, maybe you are getting away
257
1073130
4137
17:57
from your everyday stress and strain.
258
1077351
4220
18:01
That is another good reason to come alive.
259
1081638
3270
18:04
I suppose
260
1084908
3003
18:08
I come alive when I get out of the town
261
1088061
2486
18:10
or the city, and I can breathe in
262
1090547
6490
18:17
the fresh air.
263
1097120
1502
18:18
I agree with you.
264
1098622
1051
18:19
I think that's another good way of using
265
1099673
3670
18:23
the phrase Come alive.
266
1103426
3003
18:26
Cristina says, I come alive whenever I play sport
267
1106596
3637
18:30
or I am around or experiencing nature.
268
1110233
5656
18:35
Again, very similar.
269
1115955
1635
18:37
Getting outside, exploring, enjoying your surroundings.
270
1117590
5589
18:43
Yes. You feel
271
1123246
2970
18:46
so energetic, you come alive.
272
1126216
4270
18:50
So I often think of it is something when that something that happens
273
1130570
4688
18:55
where when you do something that gives you pleasure
274
1135258
4655
18:59
or may be something that makes you feel relaxed
275
1139996
3220
19:03
or of course something that you just enjoy doing
276
1143299
4688
19:08
like this, for example, I enjoy doing this.
277
1148071
3770
19:11
It gives me a lot of pleasure, so I would say that I come alive
278
1151841
4755
19:16
when I'm doing my livestreams.
279
1156679
3237
19:19
I do like it.
280
1159916
2285
19:22
Hello, Shankar.
281
1162285
2135
19:24
Hello to you.
282
1164420
801
19:25
I will give you a lovely wave.
283
1165221
1835
19:27
Thank you very much for joining me today.
284
1167056
3003
19:30
We are looking at an interesting subject, light
285
1170142
5973
19:36
and dark.
286
1176198
1919
19:38
Many words, many phrases, many ways of expressing
287
1178117
5239
19:43
those particular things.
288
1183439
4721
19:48
Beatriz says, I come alive
289
1188227
1952
19:50
when I can travel and see my friends in Europe and I.
290
1190179
4371
19:54
I have more and more of
291
1194617
3653
19:58
of my friends every year.
292
1198337
3003
20:01
Well, I am not surprised, Beatriz, to be honest.
293
1201524
3236
20:04
You are a person and this is something I've noticed about you.
294
1204760
3670
20:08
You do like travelling.
295
1208514
3186
20:11
And I would imagine that also when you travel around, you also make lots of friends.
296
1211784
4588
20:16
So yes, I think so.
297
1216372
3219
20:19
I think travelling really does
298
1219675
2753
20:22
broaden your horizons.
299
1222428
4521
20:27
It is something that gives you a lot of new perspective on the world,
300
1227015
6073
20:33
your view, the way you see the world around you.
301
1233088
4088
20:37
So that is what we are talking about today.
302
1237259
2719
20:39
I was feeling a little bit nostalgic.
303
1239978
3470
20:43
I was going to show probably something from the back of the house
304
1243515
4571
20:48
today, something that was there but isn't anymore.
305
1248086
4138
20:52
Unfortunately, they have vanished.
306
1252224
2736
20:54
They have disappeared. They have gone.
307
1254960
3303
20:58
Of course,
308
1258347
1918
21:00
I'm talking about the cows.
309
1260265
2636
21:02
And I know a lot of you love seeing the cows.
310
1262901
3220
21:06
Sadly, they've gone.
311
1266121
1768
21:07
They disappeared last week.
312
1267889
2119
21:10
And also the sheep.
313
1270008
1468
21:11
The sheep have also disappeared from the back of the house.
314
1271476
3854
21:15
But I will always have the memories.
315
1275413
4155
21:19
The memories of the lovely, lovely cows.
316
1279651
3003
23:46
English Addict for a Wednesday.
317
1426430
4054
23:50
I hope you are having a good day today and I hope you will stay with me.
318
1430484
9442
24:00
I am in the blue.
319
1440010
8809
24:08
We move here together again.
320
1448902
3637
24:12
I hope you are enjoying my live streams.
321
1452622
2586
24:15
Yes, I am with you on Sunday and Wednesday.
322
1455208
5439
24:20
Some of these things will be changing,
323
1460730
3170
24:23
by the way, as we go into December.
324
1463900
3370
24:27
I'm not saying too much.
325
1467354
1852
24:29
I don't want to give away the surprise, but there will be some slight changes
326
1469206
4504
24:33
taking place during December.
327
1473710
4071
24:37
But of course, we have another week of November,
328
1477847
2853
24:40
so even next week it will still be November.
329
1480700
3003
24:43
So this time next week it will be the 29th of November.
330
1483853
4722
24:48
So we seem to have a lot of Wednesdays
331
1488658
3537
24:52
in November.
332
1492278
1318
24:53
I have noticed that.
333
1493596
1035
24:54
I don't know why there seem to be more than the usual amount of Wednesdays.
334
1494631
5188
24:59
I'm sure there's a reason for it.
335
1499903
1768
25:01
Richard is here. Hello, Richard.
336
1501671
2035
25:03
Thank you very much for joining me today.
337
1503706
1752
25:05
It's very nice to see you on the live chat.
338
1505458
3520
25:09
We have a subject to talk about.
339
1509045
2402
25:11
I will bring it up on the screen for you to see.
340
1511447
4488
25:16
We are looking at words and phrases
341
1516019
3887
25:19
connected to light and dark
342
1519906
4521
25:24
words and phrase is
343
1524510
2970
25:27
So when we talk about light and dark,
344
1527480
3437
25:31
we are often talking about contrast things that are the opposite.
345
1531050
6240
25:37
So quite often we are not just talking about whether there is light
346
1537373
5138
25:42
or whether there is no light.
347
1542595
3003
25:45
We are also talking about the differences
348
1545598
3236
25:48
between things light and dark.
349
1548834
3304
25:52
You might describe truth
350
1552221
3337
25:55
and deceit as light and dark.
351
1555641
4905
26:00
They are contrasts.
352
1560629
2103
26:02
They are the opposites from each other.
353
1562732
3186
26:06
So you might use light and dark in many ways.
354
1566001
4855
26:10
And that's what we're looking at today.
355
1570856
1952
26:12
Different ways of looking at light and dark.
356
1572808
5105
26:17
So when we talk about light,
357
1577997
2335
26:20
we are talking about, well, first of all, we can use it as a noun,
358
1580332
4054
26:24
an adjective or verb.
359
1584470
3220
26:27
Light can be used in more than one way.
360
1587773
3604
26:31
When we are talking dramatically light as a noun is the thing.
361
1591377
5855
26:37
The adjective refers to how light
362
1597316
4504
26:41
something appears, The appearance of something.
363
1601904
4688
26:46
So the noun names light.
364
1606675
3604
26:50
The adjective shows how something appears,
365
1610362
3987
26:54
whether it is light or dark.
366
1614600
3603
26:58
So quite often we use light as an adjective as well.
367
1618287
4621
27:02
And of course you can also use light
368
1622991
3003
27:06
as a verb to light something.
369
1626144
4138
27:10
Maybe you light a fire, you light the room.
370
1630282
6306
27:16
So you might say that my studio,
371
1636671
3604
27:20
I have to light my studio so you can see me.
372
1640358
4722
27:25
So in that particular situation,
373
1645163
2636
27:27
we are using light as a verb.
374
1647799
5472
27:33
You can have light from the sun.
375
1653355
3003
27:36
So that is the noun.
376
1656408
2018
27:38
We are using light as a noun.
377
1658426
3604
27:42
Light from the sun you feel the warmth,
378
1662197
4521
27:46
you see the light.
379
1666801
2987
27:49
Light
380
1669971
1952
27:51
is in that situation.
381
1671923
2219
27:54
We are using it as a noun.
382
1674142
3003
27:57
You can also use it as an adjective.
383
1677195
3370
28:00
You might describe something as light.
384
1680648
3671
28:04
You might describe a certain colour.
385
1684402
2936
28:07
The appearance of that particular thing, a light blue hat
386
1687338
6407
28:13
you are describing what that thing looks like, the adjective
387
1693828
4721
28:18
you are showing, how that thing appears.
388
1698616
3737
28:22
So once again, you are using the word light in that situation.
389
1702437
4905
28:27
You are showing how it appears.
390
1707408
4338
28:31
And then, of course, as I said, you can use
391
1711829
2519
28:34
light as a verb.
392
1714348
3003
28:37
You light a fire, you light the room,
393
1717485
6473
28:44
you use the word light as
394
1724041
3370
28:47
a verb.
395
1727478
3353
28:50
We can also use light
396
1730898
1802
28:52
as the overall shade of something.
397
1732700
4755
28:57
How much light is on an object?
398
1737538
4688
29:02
So, for example, you might notice that I have light.
399
1742309
4472
29:06
And also there is shade as well.
400
1746864
4454
29:11
So because I have bright lights shining on me, you can see that as I move,
401
1751385
5839
29:17
the light is changing
402
1757308
3003
29:20
the overall shade of something or the appearance of something.
403
1760394
6223
29:26
So it is very obvious that when I move around, when I move my hands,
404
1766700
4588
29:31
you can see that that my appearance is changing.
405
1771288
4421
29:35
The light is also changing as well as I move around.
406
1775776
6673
29:42
So light can be the overall
407
1782533
3486
29:46
shade of something or the appearance
408
1786103
3337
29:49
of something in a certain type of light.
409
1789640
5839
29:55
We might describe the
410
1795546
1501
29:57
way a person looks with their complexion.
411
1797047
3737
30:00
So when we talk about complexion,
412
1800868
2402
30:03
we are talking about the shade of a person, their skin colour,
413
1803270
5255
30:08
or maybe their skin tone as well.
414
1808609
4320
30:13
So if you have a light complexion,
415
1813013
3003
30:16
maybe your skin is very
416
1816249
3003
30:19
pale, you might have very pale skin.
417
1819336
4071
30:23
I know some people who have red hair,
418
1823490
3270
30:26
they often have a very light complexion.
419
1826843
4989
30:31
It means their skin is fair there.
420
1831915
3403
30:35
There is not much colour in their skin.
421
1835519
3336
30:38
So I've noticed this.
422
1838939
1017
30:39
If you have red hair, you have to be careful how much time you spend in the sun.
423
1839956
4505
30:44
Quite often we use the word complexion.
424
1844544
4004
30:48
Complexion is the appearance of the skin.
425
1848632
4354
30:53
Some people, of course, don't like to use that term
426
1853069
2720
30:55
any more for various reasons,
427
1855789
2886
30:58
but you can also have a dark complexion as well if your skin tone is dark.
428
1858675
6640
31:05
Now, when overall, if I go into the sun,
429
1865398
2970
31:08
if ever I go outside on a sunny day
430
1868368
2903
31:11
and I catch the sunlight,
431
1871271
2936
31:14
my skin will go dark, I will darken in the sun,
432
1874207
5539
31:19
my skin reacts very quickly to direct sunlight.
433
1879829
5289
31:25
So I would say that my complexion sometimes is dark.
434
1885201
3437
31:28
Is dark because you can see the skin tone quite clearly
435
1888705
7991
31:36
to shed light on something.
436
1896779
4471
31:41
So this particular thing is being used as a phrase
437
1901334
6039
31:47
to shed light on something is
438
1907456
3454
31:50
to expose something or to show something.
439
1910910
4671
31:55
As it is, you shed light,
440
1915731
3854
31:59
you are exposing something, you are revealing something,
441
1919669
5105
32:04
you are trying to find out
442
1924857
3370
32:08
something that say
443
1928310
2386
32:10
you are trying to reveal
444
1930696
1902
32:12
something that has been a secret.
445
1932598
3370
32:16
You try to shed light on something.
446
1936051
4055
32:20
You try to find out more about a particular thing.
447
1940189
5105
32:25
Complete shun the way you look, the skin tone.
448
1945377
4155
32:29
Thank you, Beatrice.
449
1949598
1452
32:31
Yes, It is a new word for you.
450
1951050
2452
32:33
We do use it when we are talking about beauty products.
451
1953502
3787
32:37
So beauty products quite often refer
452
1957373
3253
32:40
to a person's skin type.
453
1960709
2686
32:43
Maybe it's very sensitive.
454
1963395
2586
32:45
Like me, I have very sensitive skin
455
1965981
4788
32:50
because I'm so sensitive.
456
1970836
1201
32:52
You see, I'm a very delicate flower.
457
1972037
3320
32:55
So to shed light on something means you are finding out
458
1975441
4371
32:59
more about a certain thing you are revealing,
459
1979812
5205
33:05
or you are trying to find out more about that thing.
460
1985100
5405
33:10
You want to let other people know about something
461
1990589
3537
33:14
you shed light on that particular thing
462
1994209
5539
33:19
to find out more about something.
463
1999831
4171
33:24
I mentioned this earlier to see the light.
464
2004086
4621
33:28
If you see the light, it means you have realised something.
465
2008790
6156
33:34
You have received some sort of
466
2014946
5556
33:40
like an epiphany.
467
2020585
1685
33:42
Maybe you have realised something,
468
2022270
3203
33:45
you have been influenced by something, maybe some things that you didn't know before,
469
2025473
5523
33:50
and now you do.
470
2030996
1534
33:52
You see the light, You have seen the light.
471
2032530
6240
33:58
So to see the light means to experience
472
2038853
4388
34:03
something that gives you new knowledge,
473
2043241
3904
34:07
or maybe to be inspired by something.
474
2047228
4171
34:11
We often refer to inspiration as seeing the light.
475
2051483
5955
34:17
You suddenly understand something very clearly.
476
2057505
4671
34:22
Maybe there is a certain subject that you are not very good at.
477
2062260
4538
34:26
And yes, I am going to say this
478
2066881
4888
34:31
I I'm terrible
479
2071853
3003
34:34
at maths, mathematics,
480
2074972
4155
34:39
however long you, you put me
481
2079210
2452
34:41
in a mathematics class, even when I was at school, I was terrible.
482
2081662
4655
34:46
I have never been able to see the light with mathematics.
483
2086400
4388
34:50
However, there are other subjects that I am very good at.
484
2090788
4238
34:55
I, I remember being in the classroom at school and being very interested
485
2095109
4338
34:59
in English words, phrases, the way
486
2099447
3253
35:02
we use English in our everyday life.
487
2102700
2986
35:05
And you might say that I was inspired
488
2105870
2769
35:08
to to use English in my life
489
2108639
3937
35:12
in all of the jobs that I've done in the past.
490
2112660
3420
35:16
I suppose I've always used English in some form because
491
2116163
5823
35:22
I felt inspired by it.
492
2122069
2169
35:24
I always feel inspired by words and phrases
493
2124238
3804
35:28
whenever I hear a person give a speech
494
2128042
4488
35:32
and it has some sort of deep meaning,
495
2132596
3654
35:36
I often feel as if I have seen the light.
496
2136317
4304
35:40
I have been inspired or moved
497
2140704
3604
35:44
or encouraged by.
498
2144391
2636
35:47
Something that a person has said to me.
499
2147027
3003
35:50
And I have to say it is a very powerful thing.
500
2150030
3003
35:53
As we all know, words and language are very powerful things.
501
2153067
5338
35:58
They can build someone up or they can tear someone down,
502
2158405
6156
36:04
light.
503
2164645
1735
36:06
You might visit the bright lights
504
2166380
4304
36:10
whenever we say that, by the way, that means you are going to a city,
505
2170767
5222
36:16
a big city, a lively city,
506
2176073
2636
36:18
maybe a place where lots of things happen.
507
2178709
3003
36:21
Maybe you are trying to find your own personal fortune.
508
2181828
5806
36:27
Maybe you are going down to London to become a superstar.
509
2187718
5372
36:33
You want to be famous.
510
2193090
1251
36:34
So you go to the bright lights.
511
2194341
3003
36:37
You go to the place where all the action is.
512
2197344
3587
36:40
You might visit a place
513
2200997
2653
36:43
that is lively and busy like I did a few months ago.
514
2203650
4504
36:48
I went to London and I made a video lesson in London.
515
2208238
5138
36:53
So you visit the bright lights, you go to a place
516
2213460
3687
36:57
that is busy, lively there.
517
2217147
3453
37:00
There are lots of things going on, and quite often we think of the bright lights
518
2220600
5823
37:06
as being something that draws you towards it,
519
2226506
4671
37:11
rather like a moth flying around a flame.
520
2231428
4587
37:16
You want to get near, you want to get close to the action.
521
2236099
4671
37:20
You want to go and visit the bright lights.
522
2240837
3653
37:24
So you might visit the bright lights of New York.
523
2244557
3520
37:28
You might visit the bright lights of London.
524
2248161
4304
37:32
You go to see what it's all about.
525
2252548
4805
37:37
So there are many ways of using that particular phrase.
526
2257437
3003
37:40
Quite often when you go to a busy place with lots of things going on,
527
2260490
5539
37:46
we describe it as the bright lights, the big city
528
2266095
4254
37:50
and the bright lights.
529
2270416
3437
37:53
One's face might light up,
530
2273936
4722
37:58
a person's face lights up
531
2278741
3370
38:02
in a certain situation, you might suddenly find yourself feeling very happy and excited.
532
2282178
6473
38:08
Maybe a person who receives a surprise
533
2288718
4454
38:13
their face will light up.
534
2293255
3270
38:16
So when a person's face lights up, it means they look pleased.
535
2296609
4988
38:21
They look happy, they seem excited.
536
2301681
4904
38:26
I gave Mr.
537
2306669
1351
38:28
Steve a lovely Christmas present last year and
538
2308020
6123
38:34
as he opened it,
539
2314226
2703
38:36
his face lit up.
540
2316929
4204
38:41
It means that he became very excited and very happy.
541
2321217
4838
38:46
Joyous.
542
2326138
1468
38:47
So if your face lights up,
543
2327606
2703
38:50
it means you have become excited.
544
2330309
3387
38:53
You have become really, really enthusiastic.
545
2333779
3937
38:57
Your face lights up.
546
2337916
3003
39:00
We can also say that your face beams
547
2340986
4271
39:05
be a m beam.
548
2345340
4538
39:09
So if you beam it means you look excited
549
2349945
3820
39:13
and happy and maybe also you have a smile
550
2353765
4121
39:17
on your face as well.
551
2357970
2335
39:20
If you beam,
552
2360305
2486
39:22
your face lights up,
553
2362791
4271
39:27
a person might be described
554
2367145
1702
39:28
as the light of your life,
555
2368847
3971
39:32
maybe a person you love very may be a person
556
2372901
3670
39:36
who is very dear to you, very close to you, very precious.
557
2376571
6207
39:42
We describe them as the light of your life.
558
2382778
4587
39:47
You are the light of my life.
559
2387449
4037
39:51
You are someone who is very special and precious to me.
560
2391570
6806
39:58
The word light
561
2398460
2636
40:01
is also
562
2401096
3003
40:04
referring in certain situations
563
2404316
2602
40:06
to weight how heavy something is.
564
2406918
5022
40:12
So not only do we use light to refer
565
2412023
3420
40:15
to being in a bright place light,
566
2415443
5589
40:21
it can also mean something that is not very heavy, something that is light.
567
2421116
6356
40:27
For example, Mr.
568
2427622
1885
40:29
Steve's pen.
569
2429507
2403
40:31
This is not very heavy.
570
2431910
1568
40:33
It is light.
571
2433478
1918
40:35
It is easy to lift.
572
2435396
2636
40:38
So the word light can also be used in other ways as well.
573
2438032
4922
40:42
Light as a separate definition.
574
2442954
4237
40:47
It is different from being in the light.
575
2447275
4204
40:51
Something light has very little weight.
576
2451562
4421
40:56
Of course, the opposite Dark
577
2456067
3003
40:59
has nothing to do with weight,
578
2459270
2186
41:01
so the word dark can only be used in one way.
579
2461456
2919
41:04
Dark. Lack of light.
580
2464375
1952
41:06
There is no light.
581
2466327
1885
41:08
But in this situation the word light
582
2468212
3120
41:11
can refer to the weight of something.
583
2471415
4305
41:15
If something is not very heavy,
584
2475803
3554
41:19
it is light.
585
2479440
4087
41:23
So there might at some point be some confusion
586
2483611
4321
41:28
over the use of the word light
587
2488015
4455
41:32
lighten.
588
2492536
1752
41:34
Here's an interesting word light.
589
2494288
2186
41:36
And if you lighten something,
590
2496474
3253
41:39
then you make it brighter, you lighten,
591
2499810
4538
41:44
you might lighten a room, you make the room lighter,
592
2504431
6240
41:50
you add more light to the room.
593
2510754
3821
41:54
So if you lighten something,
594
2514658
2670
41:57
it means you are making something brighter.
595
2517328
2719
42:00
You are introducing more light into the room.
596
2520047
5689
42:05
You are adding more light to it.
597
2525819
4421
42:10
So there are many ways of using the word light.
598
2530307
5506
42:15
Quite often we refer to the opposite of light as dark,
599
2535896
6123
42:22
something dark you might notice behind me
600
2542102
4905
42:27
it is getting very dark behind me because of course
601
2547090
4388
42:31
at this time of year the days here are short.
602
2551561
4021
42:35
So the darkness arrives much earlier.
603
2555666
4954
42:40
So normally around about 3:30
604
2560704
4004
42:44
or maybe even 4:00.
605
2564791
2936
42:47
Quite often it will be dark at this time of year.
606
2567727
5439
42:53
So we look at things that are dark,
607
2573250
3970
42:57
unlit, something that is
608
2577287
2703
42:59
an lit means it is dark.
609
2579990
4237
43:04
A room can be unlit.
610
2584311
3737
43:08
If there is no light in the room,
611
2588131
2986
43:11
you can say that it is an lit, there are no windows
612
2591301
5405
43:16
there is no lighting.
613
2596790
3553
43:20
It is an lit.
614
2600427
3853
43:24
Of course, when we are talking about weight
615
2604347
3704
43:28
we can also say that something is light or lighter.
616
2608134
6557
43:34
There is little or no weight, something is lighter.
617
2614757
6340
43:41
Maybe one thing is heavy and the other thing is light.
618
2621180
3738
43:45
You are comparing those two things.
619
2625001
2786
43:47
The light thing is lighter.
620
2627787
4204
43:52
So when we talk about
621
2632075
1017
43:53
dark, we are talking about things that are unlit.
622
2633092
3904
43:57
They have no light.
623
2637080
1534
43:58
There is little or no light at all.
624
2638614
4922
44:03
So maybe at Night-Time you go out into the streets
625
2643619
3370
44:06
and maybe there are no lights around you.
626
2646989
2987
44:10
Now, here in the UK, many of our roads
627
2650193
3370
44:13
and streets do have lights.
628
2653646
4204
44:17
Street lights are everywhere.
629
2657934
2752
44:20
However, in certain places you might find there is very little lighting,
630
2660686
5773
44:26
there are no street lights and those places are unlit.
631
2666542
5889
44:32
There is little or no light around.
632
2672515
7140
44:39
So if something is dark,
633
2679738
3003
44:42
you can describe the thing as being under lit.
634
2682892
5021
44:47
A dark place, a dark room,
635
2687997
5038
44:53
a dark street.
636
2693118
3471
44:56
There are no lights along the street.
637
2696655
3003
44:59
It is completely dark.
638
2699808
4788
45:04
Another thing we can use,
639
2704680
2069
45:06
we can say that something is dark, moody,
640
2706749
5789
45:12
grim,
641
2712621
1985
45:14
unpleasant.
642
2714606
1836
45:16
So when we say something is dark, we can say there is no light.
643
2716442
5038
45:21
We can also say that something is moody.
644
2721563
3404
45:25
Maybe if there are grey clouds over your house,
645
2725050
5906
45:31
you might say that it is a dark, moody,
646
2731039
5139
45:36
grim, gloomy day.
647
2736261
3003
45:39
There is very little light around.
648
2739498
3803
45:43
Maybe a type of thing that makes you feel unhappy or upset
649
2743368
5622
45:49
can also be dark, Maybe a type of story or something
650
2749074
4087
45:53
you hear in the news might be dark.
651
2753161
3704
45:57
It is a dark story.
652
2757048
2970
46:00
Moody, grim.
653
2760018
3003
46:03
Maybe that is a new word for you.
654
2763171
1802
46:04
I don't know.
655
2764973
784
46:05
But if something is grim, it means it is unpleasant, it is unhappy.
656
2765757
6190
46:12
It is not a nice thing to experience.
657
2772030
6873
46:18
You might have a dark day like today.
658
2778987
2486
46:21
You can see behind me already it is getting dark outside.
659
2781473
3987
46:25
The darkness is falling.
660
2785460
3787
46:29
You can see that the darkness is arriving here
661
2789330
3938
46:33
in England because we have very short days.
662
2793301
6273
46:39
Here is a phrase connected
663
2799657
2753
46:42
to dark to be in the dark
664
2802410
5889
46:48
so this can be used
665
2808383
2369
46:50
figuratively when we are talking about a situation or something that we are confused
666
2810752
6640
46:57
about or something that we don't know
667
2817475
4504
47:02
about, some things that we are unaware of,
668
2822063
3470
47:05
we can say that that person is in the dark.
669
2825550
3720
47:09
They don't know about that certain thing.
670
2829353
3604
47:13
Maybe you go into a room
671
2833040
2403
47:15
and you find that there is no lighting in the room,
672
2835443
4938
47:20
there are no lights in the room, you are in the dark.
673
2840448
5021
47:25
But in this particular sense, in this sentence
674
2845553
3737
47:29
and this phrase, we are saying
675
2849357
3036
47:32
that you are unaware of something
676
2852393
4054
47:36
you don't know about, something you are in the dark.
677
2856530
6674
47:43
Maybe a friend has a secret that you don't know about.
678
2863287
4872
47:48
They know about it, but you just your friend
679
2868225
4571
47:52
keeps you in the dark.
680
2872880
2636
47:55
You are unaware.
681
2875516
3003
47:58
You don't know about it and
682
2878552
3887
48:02
a phrase
683
2882506
3003
48:05
There are dark clouds ahead.
684
2885659
4938
48:10
That means that the future might not be very pleasant.
685
2890681
4488
48:15
There might be some difficulties, there might be some problems coming this way.
686
2895269
5255
48:20
So we might say that there are dark clouds ahead.
687
2900607
5139
48:25
The future is uncertain.
688
2905829
3637
48:29
We don't know what is going to happen next
689
2909550
3336
48:32
because there are dark clouds ahead.
690
2912970
6573
48:39
We can also say dark days.
691
2919626
2603
48:42
There are dark days ahead.
692
2922229
3003
48:45
Maybe if you are in a situation where you are unsure
693
2925449
4738
48:50
of how you are going to to live or survive,
694
2930270
5255
48:55
maybe you you are about to lose your job.
695
2935609
3003
48:58
Maybe you are finding yourself in a different situation
696
2938678
4171
49:02
where things might be unpleasant.
697
2942933
2519
49:05
You might say there are dark days ahead,
698
2945452
5055
49:10
things are uncertain.
699
2950590
5222
49:15
As I mentioned earlier,
700
2955896
1251
49:17
dark can refer to a type of thing, something dark,
701
2957147
6773
49:23
gloomy or sombre.
702
2963987
4271
49:28
So again, another interesting word.
703
2968341
1885
49:30
Maybe this is a new word for you, something sombre is something
704
2970226
6106
49:36
moody, unpleasant, sad,
705
2976416
5021
49:41
or maybe something a little
706
2981521
2986
49:44
frightening as well.
707
2984757
2119
49:46
Something that makes you feel afraid can be sombre,
708
2986876
3821
49:50
something that is a sad situation.
709
2990780
3704
49:54
A dark situation, A gloomy situation,
710
2994567
6340
50:00
a sombre situation.
711
3000990
3570
50:04
A type of story might be sombre
712
3004644
4237
50:08
or dark, certain types of humour.
713
3008965
4204
50:13
So some people like to make jokes about things
714
3013252
3487
50:16
that are serious or maybe things that are unpleasant.
715
3016739
4888
50:21
We can say that a person has dark humour,
716
3021711
4504
50:26
they like to make jokes about unpleasant things,
717
3026299
4237
50:30
maybe things that are
718
3030620
4187
50:34
difficult to talk about.
719
3034890
3521
50:38
Something can also be dark and shadowy.
720
3038477
5322
50:43
We might describe something that is unclear,
721
3043883
3403
50:47
something that hasn't been completely revealed
722
3047369
4321
50:51
can be dark, it can be shadowy.
723
3051774
4354
50:56
It is unclear.
724
3056212
2669
50:58
So we often talk about things that may may be
725
3058881
5806
51:04
a little
726
3064770
1518
51:06
wrong or illegal,
727
3066288
2369
51:08
some that you are not sure of, maybe a type of person.
728
3068657
3937
51:12
Maybe you meet a person and you are not sure what they are like.
729
3072594
4805
51:17
They might be shadowy.
730
3077483
2485
51:19
They might be a person who does not reveal
731
3079968
2470
51:22
everything about themselves.
732
3082438
4688
51:27
And as we come towards the end of this,
733
3087209
4621
51:31
a dark deed,
734
3091914
2752
51:34
something that is done
735
3094666
2770
51:37
that is harmful, something that a person does that is unpleasant,
736
3097436
5489
51:42
maybe a person does something against another,
737
3102925
4621
51:47
they perform a dark deed.
738
3107629
4872
51:52
It means they do something bad, unpleasant.
739
3112584
4655
51:57
So we do often find that the word light
740
3117322
3404
52:00
and the word dark do have very specific uses
741
3120809
6156
52:07
good and bad, light and dark,
742
3127048
3938
52:11
pleasant and unpleasant.
743
3131069
3637
52:14
It something that happens quite often.
744
3134789
6340
52:21
What do I you
745
3141196
1051
52:22
Can you think of any phrases using light and dark?
746
3142247
4805
52:27
Maybe one that I've missed out there are others, of course,
747
3147052
4054
52:31
but we do generally often
748
3151189
3403
52:34
tend to use light and dark
749
3154676
3820
52:38
as positive and negative things that are good.
750
3158580
5105
52:43
You look on the light side of life,
751
3163768
3270
52:47
you look on the dark side of life.
752
3167122
5505
52:52
Even in movies and literature.
753
3172710
4021
52:56
In Star Wars, for example, you have the dark side.
754
3176814
5072
53:01
That means the evil side.
755
3181970
3003
53:05
So it is interesting
756
3185089
2703
53:07
to see how these particular phrases and also these words
757
3187792
5372
53:13
here are used in general life.
758
3193381
4688
53:18
I will be going in a moment.
759
3198136
1985
53:20
Ariel, says, Mr.
760
3200121
1318
53:21
Duncan, you are an enlightened sir.
761
3201439
3336
53:24
I hope so.
762
3204859
2135
53:26
I like to think that maybe I'm not.
763
3206994
2186
53:29
Maybe I am.
764
3209180
1151
53:30
Maybe some people learn something from me and maybe others don't.
765
3210331
4605
53:34
I don't know.
766
3214936
1001
53:35
I'm not here to say whether that is true or not.
767
3215937
3920
53:39
But thank you very much. Anyway.
768
3219857
1752
53:41
Thank you very much.
769
3221609
3603
53:45
To enlighten someone.
770
3225296
2035
53:47
Yes, to enlighten
771
3227331
3003
53:50
someone is to inform someone.
772
3230568
4304
53:54
You are telling them something.
773
3234955
2136
53:57
You are giving someone a useful piece of information.
774
3237091
5756
54:02
Something that is useful. Yes,
775
3242847
3870
54:06
Beatrice, says. Mr.
776
3246800
1769
54:08
Duncan, there is a great phrase
777
3248569
3937
54:12
that Inaki used earlier.
778
3252590
4004
54:16
There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
779
3256677
4855
54:21
You are right.
780
3261615
851
54:22
Yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
781
3262466
4688
54:27
When we say that, we mean that there is always something
782
3267237
4221
54:31
good approaching, even if the period of time that you are living in now
783
3271458
6123
54:37
seems bad or gloomy, there is always light
784
3277798
5072
54:42
at the end of the tunnel.
785
3282953
2753
54:45
If you look ahead, if you look far into the future,
786
3285706
5689
54:51
maybe things will be better
787
3291478
2603
54:54
and it is something we often use.
788
3294081
1835
54:55
It is a phrase we often say when we are trying to encourage another person
789
3295916
6823
55:02
to look on the positive side.
790

Don't worry too much.
791
3305992
2853
55:08
There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
792
3308845
5289
55:14
I know many people were
793
3314217
1101
55:15
using that particular phrase during the pandemic.
794
3315318
4071
55:19
A lot of people were saying there is light at the end of the tunnel.
795
3319456
3854
55:23
Do not fear, do not worry, things will get better
796
3323393
5105
55:28
as they often do.
797
3328582
2702
55:31
Have you noticed that in life?
798
3331284
1652
55:32
Quite often things do get better and life does improve?
799
3332936
6873
55:39
Yes, that's right, Beatrice, says.
800
3339893
1952
55:41
Mr. Duncan, during the pandemic you said this every day
801
3341845
3853
55:45
when you were doing your live streams, your special live streams.
802
3345765
3971
55:49
Yes, I did.
803
3349819
784
55:50
I said that quite often.
804
3350603
1168
55:51
There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
805
3351771
3937
55:55
Good days, bright
806
3355792
2369
55:58
days will always be there.
807
3358161
4271
56:02
Sometimes you just have to wait for them.
808
3362515
3554
56:06
It's not easy.
809
3366135
901
56:07
I know.
810
3367036
1201
56:08
I am going in a moment.
811
3368237
1752
56:09
As the daylight disappears behind me and it starts to get dark
812
3369989
7307
56:17
because winter is approaching here in England
813
3377296
4405
56:21
and the days get shorter and shorter,
814
3381768
6256
56:28
Christina says, I am still waiting for the light to come.
815
3388107
3504
56:31
Well, it will.
816
3391611
2736
56:34
And that's that is the positive part of that phrase.
817
3394347
3653
56:38
You see.
818
3398000
868
56:38
There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
819
3398868
3253
56:42
You travel forwards, you keep moving,
820
3402204
2636
56:44
you don't stop, you don't give up.
821
3404840
3487
56:48
There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
822
3408411
4638
56:53
And on that positive note,
823
3413115
3003
56:56
I will leave you for today.
824
3416268
3320
56:59
I hope you enjoyed today's live stream.
825
3419655
2352
57:02
I hope it's been interesting.
826
3422007
1952
57:03
I really do hope it's been interesting.
827
3423959
2837
57:06
I will be back with you on Sunday at 2 p.m.
828
3426796
3636
57:10
UK time.
829
3430432
1118
57:11
Mr. Steve will also be here on Sunday.
830
3431550
2987
57:14
We have a busy couple of days coming up by the way,
831
3434687
3036
57:17
because we are moving furniture
832
3437723
4087
57:21
over the next couple of days.
833
3441894
2185
57:24
So myself and Mr.
834
3444079
1118
57:25
Steve, we will be driving around in a large white van
835
3445197
7808
57:33
moving furniture.
836
3453088
1952
57:35
We might talk more about that on Sunday.
837
3455040
3437
57:38
We will see what happens.
838
3458477
2019
57:40
So I have to be careful not to myself,
839
3460496
3186
57:43
not to break my back or to damage any other part of my body.
840
3463765
5489
57:49
I will be very gentle.
841
3469254
3337
57:52
Thank you very much for your company.
842
3472674

also,
854
3504539
3454
58:28
if you don't mind,
855
3508076
1051
58:29
could you please give me one of these as well?
856
3509127
4171
58:33
I will be very pleased if you could do that.
857
3513531
4038

10811
58:54
My stomach is making a strange sound.
861
3534986
4421
58:59
I think I might be a little bit hungry.
862
3539491
2986
59:02
Ta ta for now.
