Do you Love learning English? CHAT LIVE ! - Wed 24th May 2023

Well, a very good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to my back garden here in England.

It is a beautiful day.

And guess what?

We are outside.

And if you look very carefully, you can see the cows.

The cows are having a very nice time.

In fact, they are enjoying the sunshine just like me.

Hi, everybody.

This is English addict.

A little bit different today because we are outside.

And yes, I am now walking around the garden

waiting for my lovely viewers to join me.

And also I am waiting for Mr.

Steve who has gone off.

He's disappeared.

He's gone off for a walk.

Anyway, the big question is, where am I?

I'm right here, actually.

Hi, everybody.

This is Mr. Duncan in England.

How are you today?

Are you okay?

I hope so. Are you happy?

First of all, of course.

I will make sure that you can hear me clearly.

I am using some new equipment today.

I have my wireless microphone.

And the reason why I have

this is because I'm preparing to go

to Paris at the start of next month.

And of course, I will be doing some reporting,

some live streams whilst I am in Paris.

So I'm hoping that this will work very well,

not only then, but also today as well.

So if you can hear me okay, please say Mr.

Duncan, we can hear you perfectly,

and then I will continue.

Can you see the car was, by the way.

We have cows, every one.

Hello, cows.

Hello, Helene.

The cows are sitting around.

They are feeling rather lazy.

I will be honest with you.

An hour before I started this live stream,

I was actually lying down on the bed

feeling a little bit lazy.

I do not know why.

Whenever the weather is like this,

whenever we have nice weather, I always find

that I become a little bit lazy.

What about you?

I always think of

people who live in very hot countries

because I have been to very hot countries.

And I have to say

whenever I am there,

I never feel like doing very much.

I will be honest with you.

I don't feel like doing much work or

to be honest with you, anything.

If I was completely 100% honest,

I don't feel like doing anything when it's hot.

So I suppose

that's the reason

why today I was feeling a little bit lazy.

So what I'm doing at the moment

in the garden and I'm waiting for Mr.

Steve to return.

So Steve will hopefully be returning soon.

And yes,

he will be joining us for a while on the live chat.

This, by the way, is not a very long live stream.

It's a short one today.

So I'm here and then Steve will be here.

Then we will have a chat together and then

we will end the live chat.

How does that sound?

Does it sound good?

Talking of the live chat?

We do have quite a few people joining at the moment.

Oh, hello to Vitesse.

Vitesse, once again, congratulations.

You are first on today's live chat.

You are first here.

So well done and congratulations to you.

It's nice to see so many regular viewers.

And I have noticed recently

we also have a lot of new viewers as well joining us

for the first time.

So if it is your first time here

joining the live chat, please let me know.

So I'm now looking for Mr.

Steve. I'm waiting for Mr.

Steve to come back.

He said

I will be back before you start your live stream,

which of course, I knew was a lie.

I thought, there is no way Mr.

Steve will be back before

my live stream begins.

So if you look very carefully behind me,

you can see

there are some cows

and also lots of yellow as well in the field

that, by the way,

that yellow haze

you can see is,

well, they are all buttercups.

So this year I don't know why, but many of the plants,

many of the flowers have gone crazy this year.

I don't know why, but everything seems to have gone

really, really crazy for some reason,

and I don't know why.

So the yellow you can see behind me in the field

that is actually all they are

buttercups, beautiful yellow flowers.

They come out at this time of year,

of course, June

is just around the corner, which means very soon

I am going to start

suffering from hay fever again.

Really?

There are some strange sounds coming from the cows.

I'm not sure what they're doing.

So hay fever is coming

my way as June arrives and I will be coughing

and sneezing all over the place as usual.

Yes, it is a nice view.

We have some good weather today

and apparently tomorrow it's going to be

the hottest day of the year so far.

So I'm looking forward to the weather tomorrow

being the hottest, the hottest day so far this year,

which should be quite good.

I'm looking forward to it.

Hello, cows.

Do you want to have an interview?

Would you like to be interviewed?

Oh,

I think I think that that means no.

Oh, come on, don't be shy.

Come on.

Come over here and say hello.

It's okay.

It's only YouTube.

You don't have to worry.

Hello.

Hi.

The cows have only been here

for about ten days

and already

they are really relaxed with myself and also Mr.

Steve. Hello.

It's looking at me now.

It seemed to me it knew.

So even though the cows

have only been here for a short time,

they've really become

quite accustomed to being back of the house.

And of course, a lot of people ask what type of cow

or what type of cows are there

at the back of the house?

Well, as you can see, that particular one,

that particular one is a brown and white cow.

And I think

it's also injured its leg as well.

One of the problems

with having cattle around here

is that sometimes they fall over

and injure themselves like that cow.

You could see it was it was limping a little bit.

So the sun is out.

Apparently, we are going to

have at least

another two weeks of this beautiful weather.

Wow.

All I can say is I hope the weather will be nice

by the time we go to Paris.

By the way, are you coming to see me and Mr.

Steve in Paris?

So we have a big rendezvous coming up

and around about two and a half weeks from now.

And yes,

I will be there in Paris.

Mr. Steve will be there as well.

We will all be enjoying the Paris scenery

and hopefully all also

I'm hoping also that we have good weather.

I really do.

So far there are around 11 people

joining us in Paris.

They will be there and so will we.

And yes, I've already been asked, Mr.

Duncan, will you be doing some livestreams

during your time in Paris?

The answer is yes.

We will be doing live streams.

That is the reason why I am testing my wireless

microphone today to make sure it is working okay.

So I will be using this particular piece of equipment

on well, during our live

streams from Kepak free.

Come on, Mr.

Steve, where are you?

Does he know that we can't start the show

until he arrives?

Can you believe? I can't believe Mr.

Steve is doing this to us.

Is making us wait for him.

I was watching a TV show last night

about people having accidents,

and there are many of these TV shows.

Normally people falling off chairs

or tripping over on on ice.

Maybe they are slipping and sliding around.

And sometimes I don't know about you

when I'm watching those programmes, I always worry

that the person in the video

that is being featured in that programme,

I always worry

that that person might be seriously injured.

Do you ever watch those programmes?

Quite often.

How many different types of programmes

now where people have accidents they fall over

and of course

these days you can also watch car accident as well.

Now I'm not

sure if that is good taste.

However,

having said that, I have to, I have to be honest.

I do find I do find it rather funny

when someone

falls over.

Don't know why.

When you see a human being falling over,

maybe they fall on the ice or tripped over.

I don't know why it does.

It does look funny.

But should I be ashamed of myself

for finding it funny?

Because I think it's human nature.

I think many people

have a little laugh

sometimes at things they probably shouldn't.

And I think watching someone trip over

or fall over or slip off their chair

or maybe they're trying to do a stunt

and it goes wrong.

So what do you think?

Do you ever watch those programs?

Do you ever see those programs

where people are falling off their bicycles?

But I do worry sometimes that

the people that are featured

might be might be injuring themselves.

Oh,

hello.

There is a woodpecker

that keeps flying around my head.

And the reason why keeps coming down here

is because in my garden

I have lots of lovely bird food and we have one

great spotted woodpecker

and it keeps coming to the garden every day.

But at the moment it's getting frustrated.

So you might occasionally hear

the sound of a woodpecker,

or should I say an angry woodpecker

because it's waiting to come and feed in my garden.

But because I'm here doing this,

they're not coming down.

None of the birds are coming in at the moment.

I think I'm scaring them all away.

So what about you?

Oh, you're having a good day where you are.

I hope you are having a super day.

Oh, hello to

Fantasy.

Oh, I do, I do.

Sally, Hello to you.

I don't recognise your name.

Also, we have Anastasia.

Hello to you as well.

Thank you very much.

Do you prefer sunny or rain?

I have to say I do not like rain at all.

I hate rainy weather.

I do. I hate it.

I would rather be in the house watching the rain

than being outside in the rain

getting wet, to be honest.

Mm.

I think so.

Hello to the live chat.

It's very busy here.

We also have who else is here.

Oh, Luis Mendez.

Who says Mr.

Duncan, you can do some singing in the street

with your microphone.

I'm not sure about that.

I don't think

French people are ready for my terrible

singing at the moment. I have to be honest with you.

Wednesday afternoon.

Yes, I am here live.

For those who are wondering, Alessandra is here.

What a super surprise.

Well, not a problem.

I'm glad to be here.

It's nice to be here today.

I'm outside.

I'm also doing a test of my

my new microphone, which I will be using

when we are out

and about on the streets of Paris as well

for our big Paris rendezvous.

I feel like one of those correspondents

that you see on television

reporting from different parts of the world.

Do you think I could do that?

Do you think I could be one of those

foreign correspondents reporting

maybe from a place where an incident is taking place

or maybe something is occurring

and they need someone to report

it?

Can you hear the dogs?

The dogs are a pain in the neck.

They are dogs.

Can I say hello to.

Oh, Beatrice is here.

Beatrice is here today.

It's nice to see you joining me.

I hope you have a smile on your face.

Because I do.

Because the weather is lovely.

That's why I hope the signal is okay.

I did receive a very big response,

by the way, concerning the live stream

we did a few days ago.

I think it's the police helicopter.

The police have found me.

Mr.

Duncan, this is the police.

Please give yourself up.

Put your hands in the air

and come quietly,

maybe.

Oh, Mr.

Steve, I can see Mr. Steve.

There he is.

There is Mr. Steve.

Can you see him?

Little red dots up there.

That is Mr.

Steve coming back.

There he is.

Is walking across the top

and in a few moments he will come down here.

So for those wondering where Steve is, there he is

at the end of my finger

now because the cows are in the field, I think Mr.

Steve is going to go the long way round.

So instead of coming straight down,

he's going to go around the cows.

Now, even though the cows are very friendly

and they are, I can assure you they are very friendly.

Sometimes they can be a little surprised

when people suddenly appear behind them.

So you do have to be careful,

even though these cows are lovely and friendly,

as you can see, they're lovely.

You are so lovely.

You are lovely, lovely cows, all of you.

Where are you now?

It looks like a rural region.

I'm actually in my garden at the moment.

I haven't gone very far away.

Here is Steve.

Steve is coming.

Everyone is over there.

Can you see him? There he is.

So Mr.

Steve is on his way

as I talk to you now live.

Oh, there he is.

Is approaching the fence.

Oh, isn't that lovely?

So as if by magic.

Here is Steve.

Are you having fun?

Steve?

Hello?

Oh,

well, I didn't get killed by the cow.

It was her mother.

I was just explaining.

Actually, Sometimes the cows are a little.

Well, maybe if you come up behind them,

you can make them jump and scare them.

These are quite docile.

They're quite, uh.

They're quite friendly. Mr. Duncan, I.

I wasn't afraid at all.

Anyway, it's a lovely day.

And, yes, I've been for a nice walk.

By the way, this is for those who don't know.

This is Steve.

Mr. Steve.

Hello?

Yes, I'm here.

A surprise visit from Mr.

Duncan's show, and I'm going to go inside and cool off

and get something to eat since the cows are just

not in the slightest interested, which is wonderful.

It means that they're relaxed

and I can walk up and down that field

without fear of attack.

Although you did look a little scared.

Well, you know, you never know.

You don't know how they're going to react, but

they're in rest mode.

So today, by the way, I'm

practising for when we are in Paris.

So so we can stand in the street and interview

not only Steve, but also you,

if you will, coming to join us in Paris

for the big rendezvous.

We will be there

and we will be chatting to you

on the streets of Paris.

Who knows, We might actually speak to someone,

a French person, maybe a Parisian.

A Parisian, Yes.

Well, hopefully we will hopefully will,

you know, get offered the hospitality of Paris

free meals key to the city.

Yes, that's what we're expecting.

Well, I have a fee.

I'm expecting lots of free meals.

Does the mayor is there a mayor in Paris?

Maybe we'll be welcomed

at the airport, driven in a limousine to the hotel.

Well, and then when we get to the hotel,

they say you're not staying in this dump, are you?

Come on, then. Okay,

so don't say anything else.

Steve. I'm not going to Denver.

May be president Macron will come to meet us.

Well, I'm hoping so.

I mean, if not, we'll be a little disappointed.

But the mayor, if there is a mayor,

is there a mayor of Paris?

And we don't know.

We have mayors here,

but we don't know if they have them in Paris.

I thought you were talking about horses then.

No, no, that's a different kind of mayor.

Okay. It's about differently.

Mr.

Duncan, am a Ari, I think is the horse.

Is that correct?

You're telling.

You're telling us. And a why?

Our name is the person that heads up a town.

They're not they're normally the head of the council.

And normally

they do it for a short or limited period of time.

And then another one is elected

a bit like in London, really, because we have

we have a mayor of London,

not very popular at the moment

because he's banning cars on the streets of London

and finding them,

if you've got one over about ten years old.

Oh, here we go.

So, yeah, don't forget Steve,

I've got I've got the microphone now in my hand

and I move the mic away.

Nobody can hear you.

Are you sure?

I'm very. I'm very sure.

Right. I'm going in.

I'm going to leave you to continue this lesson, Mr.

Duncan, and I'm going to relax a bit.

Cooled off,

have something to eat, have a drink,

watch some pointless news on this.

Okay, Well, this is

this is a fascinating afternoon and probably get irate

reading news stories that I will then comment on

and wait for people's abusive replies.

Can I just say that sounds incredibly sad.

I'm so glad I'm out here. I'm in the real world.

Enjoy, enjoy.

Okay. And I can.

We can't hear you, Steve. How do you know?

I know.

Well, I know because I'm holding the wire. Hello?

I'm shrinking, right?

I'm going indoors.

Yes, A lot of people will notice things have gone.

Yes, they've wandered off.

Steve, I've been.

You've annoyed them, Mr. Duncan.

I think you annoyed them with your big hairy legs.

I'll shave them before we get to Paris.

Okay, If you insist.

Thank you.

Thank you, Steve.

See you on Sunday. Ta ta.

See? We'll see Mr.

Steve on Sunday.

This is only a short

live stream, so just a few more moments.

And the reason why I'm doing this

today is just to test my microphone

to make sure it's working. All right.

So for those wondering

and I know some of you are always interested

in the equipment that I use,

this is not an expensive microphone.

In fact, I'm using something inside

this microphone that I already have.

So this is just a piece of plastic

with the tiny wireless microphone inside there.

So it's quite good.

But it does mean that I can walk around like this.

Maybe if I feel like singing

a song to everyone

on the streets of Gay Paris,

I think it might be very nice.

Where are you?

I'm in England.

This is coming to you live from the birthplace

of the English language, which is England,

apparently.

And a gigolo

is the mayor of Paris.

Very nice.

Giovanni says he wants to come and water

my orchids with me.

What has happened to your orchids?

All they dry.

Have they gone dry in the sunshine?

I know a lot of parts of Europe at the moment

are having a heatwave.

Parts of Spain are basking

in very high temperatures at the moment.

Say hello to everyone in Spain.

I hope you are staying cool today.

Hello, Claudia.

Claudia is here.

It looks amazing there at the moment here in Brazil.

Here in Argentina, it is raining and dark,

not very nice.

Do you have any flowers out there?

Well, we have a lot of flowers

coming out at the moment.

I will be honest with you.

There are many coming out in the garden because spring

has almost come to an end

and now we are waiting for the arrival of summer.

Although to be honest with you, it feels

as if summer has already arrived.

But as I mentioned earlier, I had a lot of response

to the live stream that I did a few days ago with Mr.

Steve whilst we were out walking.

Can I say

thank you very much for that and I'm pretty sure

over the next couple of months if the weather is good,

I think we will be doing

lots of outside or outdoor live streams.

So does that sound like a good idea?

Because I know a lot of people love seeing the

the sites

and also

hearing the sounds of the English countryside.

So please

let me know what you think

in the comments below this video if you want

to, to have more live streams outside like this

with myself and also Mr.

Steve, please let me know.

It's nice to see so many people here today.

I wasn't sure if I was going to be inside or outside.

So suddenly I decided to

to do a live stream outside on my mobile phone.

So this is a very simple setup that I've got here.

So it's basically an iPhone

connected to a wireless device,

which is then connected to this microphone

that also has a small wireless microphone inside it.

And that's it.

It's very simple. It's a very simple setup.

And this is the setup.

This is the equipment

I will be using when we are in Paris.

So I hope it will work.

All right.

I really do.

I am going at the moment.

So if you want to say hello

or you want to say anything, please let me know.

Claudia says Yes, your

sound is lovely.

Thank you very much.

I'm glad you can hear me perfectly.

That makes me feel happy, to be honest with you.

I'm very glad.

So now you can hear me.

I think we have now I'm watching at the moment.

Hello to Vietnam.

If you are watching at the moment, this is Mr.

Duncan saying a big hello to everyone in Vietnam.

Oh,

it would appear

that a lot of people want to have

more live streams outside.

We will see what happens.

I will try my best.

Thank you, Giovanni.

Thank you very much for saying thank you to me.

As

Giovanni mentions

something that we mentioned a few days ago

on the live stream,

I'm not going to say what it is, but let's just

say it's a little rude.

That's all I'm saying. For now, anyway.

Can I say

hello and goodbye to Al Curry?

Hello, Al Curry.

I think it's a very good idea, Mr.

Duncan, for you to do more live streams,

especially now because I can walk around quite freely

without worrying about the sound.

So as long as I use this microphone, I should be okay.

What do you think?

Is it a good idea?

Please let me know.

Everyone seems unanimous.

Oh, there's an interesting word.

Unanimous.

If a group of people are unanimous,

it means they all agree in the same way.

Unanimous.

So if you have a unanimous vote,

it means that everyone

has voted for the same thing.

They all agree with each other.

You might say that the vote the vote is unanimous.

So for joining me today, I'm

going in a few moments

and I hope you've enjoyed this live stream.

Something a little unusual.

And I'm very pleased to say that I well,

I think that my new wireless microphone is working.

Okay.

So that means I have one less thing

to worry about before we go to Paris,

which will be happening in two and a half

weeks from now, we will all be meeting up

in Paris.

Hello, bamboo.

Hello, Bamboo for you.

I haven't seen you for a long time.

All the cows holding Steve hostage.

Not today.

But I do know that some of the residents around here,

some of the people who live around here,

are a little afraid of the cows.

They don't like them, to be honest.

I'm sure you are thinking a lot about Paris.

I am.

We are trying to come up with some ideas of where

to go and also where to meet up.

So I think it's going to be one of the parks

that are that are very close to the River Seine,

because I think a lot of people are staying

or will be staying in the centre of Paris.

Good.

I'm glad, too.

I'm glad to hear that.

You can hear me. Okay, that's great.

Well, we've come to half an hour.

We've reached the half an hour mark.

Mhm.

Mr.

Duncan, what about doing some interviews with people.

Well, that is a very good idea.

I will say one thing though.

You do have to be careful these days

because some people don't want to be interviewed,

They don't want to appear on camera.

So if you are doing something alive

like this, you do have to be careful.

I don't want to be assaulted by anyone,

to be honest.

Anyway, I'm going now.

See you on Sunday.

We are back on Sunday at 2 p.m.

UK time is when I'm back with you.

We will be with you on Sunday for 2 hours.

We might even be outside if the weather's nice.

We'll see what happens.

Thank you very much for your company.

Thank you for saying hello.

If I haven't said hello to you,

I will say hello to you now.

Hello everyone.

Who? I didn't say hello to

catch you later.

This is Mr.

Duncan in the birthplace of English, saying

Keep watching, keep enjoying the English language.

Because to be honest with you,

if I was honest, can I be honest?

It's pretty good learning English.

And if you stay here, you will also have lots of fun.

And of course, until the next time we meet,

you know what's coming next.

Yes, you do...

ta ta for now
