Mr Steve's English chit chat live - I like cars - I like big cars

hello and welcome on this Tuesday night to Mister Steve's live English mr. Steve's

chitchat live Oh ladies and gentlemen I can't wait to see you all I was here on

Sunday with mr. Duncan and and unfortunately we'll go I'll go into that

in a bit but mr. Duncan isn't feeling too well at the moment so what we're

going to do is I have basically taken over the English lessons for mr. Steve

and I'm so excited because I love the live chat and I want to teach you all

English and I want to take over from where mr. Duncan has that's

unfortunately absconded from his duties so I'm trying to get the hang of the

controls here and what so what I'll click on sir mr. Duncan normally seemed

clicking down here somewhere I'm not sure what he's doing I'm trying to get

myself on the screen but I'm not quite sure how to do it

bear with me we'll get their revenge I think I'm there I think I press the

right button welcome everybody and welcome to mr. Steve's live chat how are

you today are you well I hope so are you happy I hope so ha I think

that's what mr. Duncan usually says but anyway

here we are we've got to have we've got a packed programme tonight we're going

to talk about all sorts of English things mainly related to cars because

that's what I like to talk about all the time and mr. Duncan never lets me talk

about cars so basically this is an English lesson all about cars so I hope

you don't mind a please stick with it though because there will be lots of

useful words that are related to cars that can be used in everyday language

now at this point I think mr. Duncan usually show

some kind of random video something that he's something these sisters were filmed

as he's been walking along so I found something sort of in the archives so

here we go is it here's a live random video of what are those that they're

there hay bales oh I don't think I've don't think I've edited that very well

doesn't appear to be going too well there anyway they're hay bales and mr.

Duncan film those on Saturday and I found it in his camera and I just

thought I would try and edit it edit that together and put it on for you so

right oh well I know how do I get rid of that right just click on here click now

there's an interesting word click all sorts of words that you can use relating

to click of course are there I was clicking on ER on on a mouse to try and

get rid of that particular video but I hope you like that yeah I think it's

going really well so far I'm so pleased with myself now mr. Duncan let me talk

let me talk to you about poor mr. Duncan now mr. Duncan on Sunday wasn't at his

best was he we all know that and a lot of you

could tell that mr. Duncan wasn't very well uh you could say that he's had a

bit of a meltdown a melt down now usually we use the word meltdown now

that that word came into use referring to a nuclear reactor that has you can't

cool it anymore and and literally the the innards of the nuclear reactor just

literally melt down and it's irreversible

so meltdown refers to a nuclear reactor that literally is melting down because

you can't cool it off anymore and you can use the word meltdown to refer to

maybe a company that is going out of business

so a company that is literally going wrong irreversibly going wrong you could

say is going into meltdown all that company that they're not doing very well

anymore they've lost half their staff their products are all out-of-date

they're going into meltdown so you can use it to describe a company or the

stock market if that goes crashes you can say the stock market's gone into

meltdown and it usually refers to something this irreversible banks as

well so when the banks when we have the financial crisis banks went into

meltdown I'm rambling I know I'm rambling but never mind so informally in

informal English you would use the word meltdown to describe someone who's

having a bit of an emotional breakdown what's that furry thing up there oh it's

a microphone so when people have when he describes

someone that's having a meltdown it means they're having a bit of an

emotional crisis so they're upset they're in doubt about what they're

doing they're probably crying a lot and just acting in a very irrational way you

can say that they're having a meltdown so it doesn't literally mean they're

having an emotional breakdown it's a temporary thing unlike the nuclear

reactor that's irreversible when when we talk about a meltdown when someone's

having a meltdown it's usually reversible and temporary so you can say

someone in the office has they're too busy got a lot on their plate a lot on

their mind then you can say that Oh Jane over there or she's having a bit of a

meltdown today so she might be shouting at everybody acting in a stressed

irrational way and looking very unhappy and and really not in the moment and

their worries and their problems have become so great in their mind that they

can't really see the wood for the trees they can't really see the good anymore

they can only see the negative and unfortunately that's what happened

to mr. Duncan on Sunday he had a bit of a meltdown oh I think I'm controlling

everything very well here so yeah Oh blimey what's happening there

Oh Oh where is mr. Duncan when I need him

Hey I thought I knew how to work this stuff here but oh never mind right so

yes he had of it I think I'll have a meltdown in a minute he had this

meltdown but anyway he's in bed and I've been looking after him I've known him

for 30 years he has these little mini meltdowns from time to time does poor

our mr. Duncan but we all love him very much and I've been taking good care of

him I've been feeding him gruel and he's been drunk most of the time so we took

the advice from mr. vodka man and no I'm joking he hasn't been drinking at all

he's been in bed sobbing and crying and I have been handing him in the boxes of

tissues we've used up it's just unbelievable but he is slowly getting

better but I just thought I don't know if he's ever going to come back so I

thought mr. Steve it's time for you to take charge and show what you can do and

I think I'm doing magnificently right okay it's tyre up around this time I

think it's time to have a look why don't we see look at the outside camera and

look at the view outside right now mr. Duncan loves it either so there oh oh oh

of course I forgot it's nighttime here it's ten o'clock at night in fact it's

quarter past 10:00 of course it's dark laughter right so there's no point in

showing that so anyway it's dark outside as you can see as you would expect at

10:15 p.m. in UK where you are of course it might be it might be light you might

be just getting up and getting ready having your breakfast and go into work

which a lot of people do that watches around the world so the other phrase you

could say that mr. Duncan was feeling sorry for himself feeling sorry for

himself things probably haven't been going

as well as mr. Duncan would like on his livestream let's be honest and uh he was

feeling a bit sorry for himself I think he forgot how much you all love him and

which we all do now at this point I'm going to have try and see if I can have

a go at using this little well I think it's called is it a mouse and I'm going

to have a look at the live chat because I love the live chat and basically

that's what right live chat now so let me have a go here all right ah so who's

first on today who's first on the live chat because mr. Duncan always gives

everybody a nice big clap when their rather than Julie G was first today ro

Julie gee I don't know how to put the clock on there oh I think I found out

how to do it Julie G hi Francesco Mehnaz Tomic Oh everybody's

here Jojo six five seven I don't know you haven't

seen you before I've got my register here of course

leonardo Barboza haven't seen me before either ah to add you to my register

cambia how happy to hear your voice out how lovely thank you very much Marlon

Lauri I'm just clapping everybody you know by the way because I don't think

mr. Duncan gives people enough claps so I'm going to just clap everybody

so hello Barden from Kurdistan wow that's such a long way away

JC Geordie high AR yes it's me now mr. Duncan's gone he's not coming back it's

just you like the t-shirt yes sir I just got

what I did was mr. Duncan's was looking a bit scruffy scruffy so it was looking

a bit tired a bit worn I see I'm getting getting some English in here already I'm

getting the hang of this Oh comes down here at the moment you'll be very angry

alright um what was I talking about I've lost my train of thought yes oh yes this

is the smiley face and I've got the cap although I couldn't put you see ah

you see I saw mr. Duncan's smiley face t-shirt but I couldn't put it on because

as we know mr. Duncan has been eating too many cakes and sweets and he's put

on a lot of weight and I couldn't get his t-shirt on so I've just proved it

out this smiley face and stuck it to one of my own so very nice anyway I may

change the look later as you can see I've changed some of the set behind me

right so um I'm got me there I don't know if I can do this while we're here

at the moment ticking off everybody on the live chat but what I thought I would

talk about as well it's cars obviously I want to talk about cars and that is for

the next hour I'm going to talk solely about cars so here we go here are some

of the car magazines that I subscribe to yes I subscribe to all these car

magazines so first of all we've got Auto Express auto that's that's I think that

means vehicle Auto Express so that one that's a bit of a sort of that comes out

weekly so let's have a look what auto express is talking about or was talking

about now there we go there's a car isn't that about the ugliest car you've

ever seen in your life it's supposed to be a sports car it's at

some kind of Lexus hybrid it only gets three out of five stars and of course

I'll be reading this review from start to finish later on and we can see

exactly what's wrong with the Lexx Erick's ha RC hybrid it's basically too

heavy and ugly but there we go so it's Auto Express it's a weekly magazine and

auto car that's another one that's quite nice it's sort of not too in-depth but

it's more in depth than Auto Express and this one is from nineteen it's 19th of

March and what are we looking at here we're looking at a review of this

c-class when that first came out against the new our gates the BMW 3-series so

there are two rival cars whoo there there we go that's the old 3-series that

always wins these kind of tests we're talking about the mid-range sort of exec

car sort of compact exec I don't know that the one there the white one is the

new Mercedes or as it was a couple of years ago and it's big rival the BMW

3-series now the 3-series usually wins because it has better handling and all

this kind of thing and the c-class is known a bit softer but in this case they

like they like the Mercedes but the the C car still wins

now what car now R so look at the imagination of this magazine here they

just called it car I mean you know talk about how long did it take them to come

up with that I wonder and my favorite car of the moment by the way this is the

car I want so if anybody wants to donate and buy me a car then this is the one I

want so donations please towards my car fund

it's the Ford Mustang that's what I'm after a Ford Mustang it's the people's

car and this one I want the v8 though I don't want the that either the 2.2 eco

four-cylinder oh what a joke you don't buy a Mustang as take a

four-cylinder engine dude he's gonna be the v8 or nothing or imagine that'll

nice rumbly sound and of course I do want the 6-speed manual not the

automatic alright so what are you doing out of bed you should be in bed mr.

Duncan don't forget you've had a meltdown you should be in bed wavy be

mr. Duncan I've been out for a walk you been out front you haven't been watching

anything have you mr. Duncan I haven't seen anything I've been outside in the

field at the back of the house I've been I've been playing with the cows what are

you drinking

it's for my stomach I may disappear make a phone call and some men in white coats

may come along and take mr. Duncan away because I don't think you're I don't

think you're up to it mr. doe what have you done to my studio

I've done nothing Joe studio yeah it's the it's the live English car chat

that's what this is now well let's look at some words what's happened here yeah

what's happened to my face oh yeah we didn't think you were coming back we

thought you know mr. Duncan you having a bit of a meltdown abandoning all your

your your loyal your loyalists and most wonderful viewers and I just thought

well I didn't want to offer I'll wear a wear the usual peaked cap and put this

on to make people feel at home although it's obviously the face is prettier you

shouldn't drink how many times have I told you that is - five mil teaspoons of

gaviscon don't just drink it like that you'll clog up your stomach mr. Duncan

and don't drink it from the bottle because you'll put germs in there I've

really been drinking that of you it's almost finished anyway it's me - five

mil teaspoons mr. Duncan let me take that off here you sure that scab is gone

or is it vodka

it's there Duncan well I suppose you want me to move over now don't ya do you

do i I don't know are you back mr. Duncan Am I I don't know

are you back you tell me am i back it's a shock to see you here I thought you

were in bed I forgot to bring you up another box of tissues all I'm asking

now is what have you done to this computer I haven't done anything I've

just been randomly clicking on the earth I was going to explain to people what

this was and describe it I was gonna say it was a pen a pen a PE n well it is

honor I was going to say I was going to explain to me but why that caps on pens

now have a hole at both ends I do though ah why do they why do they why actually

I think the reason they do is because if a child swallows it then they don't

choke because air can still get through I think that's the reason I think I

think a lot of children have died choking on pen caps and then somebody

must have come up with a suggestion well why don't we just why don't we just cut

a hole at the other end and then if it goes down there the arrows do people

won't choke who eats pens children eat pens

of course what it means is if the pens leaking it leaks all into your pockets

which isn't very what are you hearing or not mr. Duncan right I have got art all

in this box here you see what I've got here this is all the past idioms and

phrases that I have used live on air since I started helping mr. Duncan out

on his shows and so here's one for example here's one I used before gone to

the dogs that was how I was going to describe mr. Duncan

I was going to say he's gone to the dogs now mr. Duncan do you want to get

something off your chest yes oh can I get you off your my chest

hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today are you okay

I hope so are you P I really really hope so it's not

Wednesday I've just realized it's not Wednesday it's Tuesday why am I here

because I'm not here tomorrow okay I'm getting very confused well you are

confused because because you had a meltdown yes

on Sunday I wasn't feeling very happy on Sunday as you may have noticed but I'm a

carrier of that I'm kind of feeling better now I mean D robed that's that

this is mine this is only it looks better

only I can wear the smiling friends all that one's all fading away mr. Duncan

it's the style you see it's the style that's what it is

I was ready here to go through all the past idioms I was digitally going to go

through every wand and start to finish every idiom I have ever done let's have

a look at the live chat mr. Duncan are you back in charge are you back mr.

Duncan are you back with us well I'm kind of back with you yes definitely are

you feeling better I just wish I could get this to work I don't know what

you've done to this scream I've done nothing mr. doom you haven't broken the

line keep talking while you sort it out I was gonna do this as well are you

feeling better mr. Duncan I'm feeling not too bad thank you very much there's

the live chat oh my goodness it feels so strange first of all I'm here on a

Tuesday it feels very strange to be on a Tuesday and also there are people on the

live chat I can't believe it after all after all of that nonsense on Sunday I

don't know what happened on Sunday I was just feeling really I want to say pissed

off pissed off I was really pissed off I think if I had to use a word to describe

how I felt on Sunday I think that would be it can I just make some alterations

behind me so first of all we will get rid of that because you know well I

dunno I don't think you were coming back mr. Duncan we still can't remember who

drew those lovely pictures office I'm sure it was one of our fans from

rusha I'm thinking Russia but I can't think if it was and we'd love to know

because we did I put it back for you oh I felt like I felt like a soldier who

who had had he's had his medals all stripped off and it was dishonorably

discharged very interesting because that's what they do don't they if you've

if you've failed or does something wrong in the forces in the Army they come up

to you and they rip all your medals off yes if you have bought if you have

brought disgrace to the military they will strip you of your medals so by

ripping that off you were saying I brought disgrace to the world of English

what have you been doing did you say that I've had a meltdown yes if you have

a meltdown it means you lose control of your emotions normally in a live

situation without warning so on Sunday I had a kind of meltdown because I was

feeling very upset about some of the things it happened on YouTube and some

of the things that were affecting me so I felt really really down but I feel

much better now because I had a big hug of mr. Steve he is the best human being

that I know in real life that's as near as you can get to a compliment Miriam

wants to know more about meltdowns I did explain it in quite big detail at the

beginning there are some actors and some famous people some celebrities who have

had they have had meltdowns in the past yes normally with a new is normally

refers to a nuclear reactor yes it refers to an overheating so when the the

core of a nuclear reactor gets too hot then everything starts to melt

irreversibly literally it melts so the whole place where the nuclear reactor is

starts to melt I explained all that hence meltdown well I wasn't here I was

I was at the back chasing the cows around the field or you were in bed

resting recuperating oh I'm here recovering I'm here

three dimensional high-quality hd live streaming faking it so yes meltdown if

we use that in an informal way I wasn't faking on Sunday trust me no I was

feeling so unhappy thathe Duncan was very unhappy and some people said I was

depressed it wasn't depression no it was just

annoyance a few moments before I started the live stream I was getting very upset

about something and it's really really hard sometimes to shake it off when you

feel a little upset I'm sure it's happened to you in the past someone is

really annoyed you or something is upset you so much it's very hard to continue

and that's what happened on Sunday but I'm okay now I had I had a nice lie down

mr. Steve gave me a hug I went out outside to the back and I followed the

cowers around I had a little chat with them and they advised me to make some

changes to the way I do things on YouTube and that is what will be

happening so you're taking your advice from cows are you I am I have decided to

take counsel from a group of cows in the back of the house what's going to happen

to those cows any day mr. Duncan they will soon be taken away they will be

sold at market and they will then be put down they well they won't be put down

they'll be slaughtered if you put something down if you put an animal down

you do it gently but there's nothing gentle about the way they slaughter

animals for human consumption trust me so there you go we'll get people upset

about that but put your back and that's the mayor yes well mr. Duncan you have

had these sort of we're calling it a meltdown well we don't really mean an

emotional breakdown were just saying that you were very upset because of the

way things were going are we going to go into much detail ultimately but I'll let

you describe you're just not very happy and you want to redo things so we don't

even notice that I was I was drinking gaviscon and it's on my it's so much

right young lips I have a I have a white

moustache I'm not joking mr. Duncan does suffer a

bit from indigestion what's tonight and and but when mr.

Duncan you're supposed to take the instructions on the bottle of gaviscon

and there is only one make of this this is a particular product I think it says

take two five mill teaspoons yeah two teaspoons Jim teaspoon just take two

stir well that's what I had I had two teaspoons yes but mr. Duncan you never

measure anything no let me just show you I had a 1 teaspoon well 2 teaspoons this

is medicine mr. Duncan they have in numerous clinical trials established

that 2 teaspoons is the maximum that you can take to get this off my face

anything more than that is probably dangerous easy mr. Duncan never measures

anything so for example for example when he's doing the washing when he's washing

clothes you know when you put the the liquid or the powder into your washing

machine it tells you on the Box how much to put in if you've got hard water you

put more in but it tells you you put in like half a ball or a couple of scoops

oh no mr. Duncan just Chuck's whatever he thinks in he literally used liquid he

just Chuck's the liquid in and then I come down and this foam coming out of

the washing machine and he says always nothing to do with me

I know what this is about stand back a bit you standing there now miss I'm

sorry this is my show it's mr. Duncan's I thought I was taking over no

definitely not is mr. Duncan's live stream mr. Steve is my sidekick and

sometimes I really do want to kick him in the side there's a nice car oh dear

have you told them about your Ford Mustang yawn brilliant

says here mr. Steve's dream is to have a Ford Mustang yes because they're now

available in right-hand drive because as you will have seen from lots of

to Duncan's videos when way visiting places we drive on the wrong side of the

road compared to most of the world that's true so most cars are their

steering wheel on the left but in the United Kingdom we have ours on the right

and the Ford Mustang which is a brilliant lovely car useful car is

available now and has been for the last two years in the UK with the steering

wheel on the right side of the car for us which is on the right do you have a

picture of a Ford I've shown it oh let's have a look at the Ford has shown and

short Ford Mustang it's in that one if Steve will let me talk I want to talk

well I'm used to there we go is that it it's that lovely blue one in

the middle yes but you can't really see it I know because you wouldn't buy it in

bloom that's a terrible coloured in red but anyway if you're gonna have a big

sports car it has to be read has to be read it has to be you can't people buy

four Ferraris and they'd be for our Ferraris were always in red were they

you can almost you could almost say that silver people have a Ferrari in silver

that I that's the color that you want yes sports car theater sports car red

what if that's what car mr. Duncan can you identify the profile this sport that

sports I don't know what this is that is an iconic shape of a sports car mr.

Duncan yeah that particular model is in its Cabriolet form

although it sits in the Cabriolet which means it has a soft top yeah I'm sure

lots of people will recognize that instantly as the Porsche 911 Porsche 911

named after what is was it named after the Cabriolet was it named after that

the you know the event in New York No - what are you referring mr. Duncan okay

it just means it it's got a fabric roof okay fabric roof metal roof so it

doesn't even have a roof yeah but their normal 911 does let's have a look at the

live chat mr. doom let's have a look at the live chat oh I'm just wondering if

anyone is there maybe everyone has gone I hope not

so let's press the button and see if anyone is there

yes Sergio you can now get a Mustang with the steering wheel on the right Wow

and I want one aurorus wants to know if you're going to be live tomorrow will

you might be because I'm not here but you might be well I won't I won't be

live if you're not here surely you don't need me mr. Duncan no if you're not here

there will be no live stream tomorrow night so I don't know what's happening

really to be honest so watch this space I will let you know what's happening

with my live streams and there are some new English lessons coming as well and I

might I'm not sure yet this is all in the planning stage this is what I've

been doing over the past couple of days I'm trying to work out whether to set up

a new channel to start a new channel with my new lessons or just to put them

on this YouTube channel so these are things that I'm actually planning to do

at the moment Porsche oh yes Porsches are nice cars but I don't think you like

Porsches do you they're a bit too posh for me yes I like I like a more sort of

working-class car blue collar a blue collar car that's what the Mustang is

it's a blue collar sports car yes I think I'm not sure if I would see you in

a Ford Mustang I've always liked Ford cars Francisco

says you don't need a Ford Mustang you have a Mercedes this is true mr. Steve

does have a Mercedes yes but it's an old one although although and also it

belongs to your company so you know you I think you need your own car

I've always liked Ford Mustangs because they they look beautiful and you cannot

beat the sound of a throbbing v8 engine throbbing yes and as asking what about

the live stream yes I think I just answered that question it is all a work

in progress nothing is decided mr. Steve came on tonight he wanted to do this and

he said I want to do a live stream on my own and I went out for a walk and then I

came back and mr. Steve had started the live stream without me so that's it that

that's the story and I'm feeling much better today more happy and positive

thanks to mr. Steve in his wonderful wonderful warm care and advice and also

don't forget the cows in the back of the house I said to mr. Duncan you cannot

abandon him what mr. Duncan wants to do is something different in order to try

and make the his channel more successful well not not more successful because at

that that means I failed I haven't failed

it's not about failing or winning it's just about trying to sort of do things

that will allow YouTube to to let me in to let me in the case you viewed to be

seen yes so it's not about failing or winning it's just about trying to get

some fairness from the way that YouTube does things I don't really want to talk

about this tonight I'm trying to cheer myself up and Steve Keaton keeps

mentioning it so so let's let's stop talking about that now because we've got

the live chat but just but what you're going to do is you're going to still

going to do the live chat yes but but I don't know how often how often but

you're going to be making some more lessons in between yes

because that's something you've spoken about for some time but of course while

you're doing that it's going to take up a lot of your time to do these lessons

so you might have to do less live chats is that what you're saying well I don't

know I've just I've just literally said I don't know I have no idea what I'm

going to do change the subject don't want you to have another meltdown I'm

not having a meltdown I'm just I'm just I've already explained and then you've

asked me again to explain I've explained I don't know about the live streams we

might be here on Sunday because Sunday is the 2nd of September a new month will

have just begun on Sunday you see so I'm not sure I'm not sure

it appears that I've got to make some changes because YouTube keeps changing

its own rules and the way it does things so if I don't change I will get left

behind it's as simple as that it's not that complicated that's it yes in a

nutshell so in a nutshell means I've said something very concisely very

simply in a nutshell I need to keep up with the changes on YouTube that's it

well done Carrodus has looked at the word and people are asking about then

that the word it's interesting people are looking up the word Mustang ok

Mustang as a type of horses it's a type of horse and yes and and and Ford named

their sports car after it way back in the 1960s the emblem is a horse horse on

on the on the on the car on the front of the car the horse is sort of doing this

maybe we can show a close-up this is the horse on the Ford Mustang it's sort of

doing this it's raring for action no there's no picture of the horse

oh yeah whether if I get the closed camera because I've got a closed camera

here have you used it yet oh I didn't know how to use that Mister

Donut I don't know whether you can see that yes well there is there is a little

horsey there right on the front grill yeah that's really clear

there it is so there is a horse look it up we could probably do with something

slightly clearer than that so there it is but anyway Ford decided

to name their their main you know one of their iconic cars after it what are you

looking at mr. Dunn I'm looking at my closer there we are look come across

most beautiful I like this closer mr. Duncan I haven't

put any makeup on because I didn't have time oh oh we're back yes so anyway if

anyone wants to buy me a Ford Mustang 5-liter v8 only but yes it is available

in right hand drive form I don't think anyone is buying a Ford Mustang for you

I know I'll have to save up but but my Mercedes is my own is 8 years old yes so

you know it needs repair if 3 years time mr. Duncan I'm gonna buy myself a Ford

Mustang this is that I'm saving up I'm gonna borrow ok then this is mr. Steve

having what we call a male menopause moment which is where a male who is

approaching a certain age decides to do something suddenly apparently is it true

that a Ford Mustang is a Russian car no I think mr. vodka man there or is just

joking with us ok it's not a Russian car it's a famous so it's an American

it's an American blue-collar sports car well when we say blue-collar we mean a

working man yes working class working class so that they're just doing

ordinary jobs so the Mustang is a powerful stylish coupe a that is

designed to be bought it's an affordable sports car in the way that a Porsche or

a Ferrari would never be so if you have a Ferrari or a Porsche that means you

are white color so that means you are in a more professional job or a well-paid

job so white color is a higher earner managers and then

blue collar is kind of the average person Joe Sixpack I believe they call

it in of the United States literally a white white or literally a white-collar

worker is somebody raise a shirt and tie a white shirt and a tie well that's

where it comes from exactly so they're the bosses that's a

blue collar worker is somebody who's wearing like an overall you want to like

load with blue colonies do you want to lie down he's getting so relaxed you're

sort of leaning against everything I think you need a bed to lie on

definitely so yeah blue collar refers to literally

a blue collar so somebody in a factory wearing a wearing an overall a blue

overalls yes with a blue collar with the blue collar so if they want if somebody

in a job average pay once the sports cut anyway well that we've gone on enough

about Mustang yes well you have maybe four Deford are watching maybe they'd

let me have one like a test drive it and post it on your live stream yes shall we

have a look at something it's very mysterious something we looked at last

weekend and I'm wondering if any of anyone anywhere can guess what we are

going to look at so we're going to have a quick look at something I want you to

guess what it is though so here's the thing we looked at last week can you

guess what that is not you Steve because you were there so there it is

what is that object you were looking at what is it now it doesn't look the same

as it usually does because it's having some repairs but what is that structure

does anyone know and I'll give you a clue it has featured in one of my

English lessons so there yes

and that's it it looks like a lot of scaffolding it looks like something is

having some some form of renovation it is getting it is being repaired so this

particular thing is something that has appeared in one of my English lessons I

will show it again for those who missed it so there it is

what is it it is something very well known very famous around the world it is

something that has a certain importance but what is it so if anyone knows let me

know on the live chat so let's have a quick look scaffolding there's a word

scaffolding a form of support form of support for a building that is being

repaired or of course constructed there it is now Lena has good guess Lena or

should I say mr. vodka says it's a bridge from maybe maybe I don't know

you're telling me you're telling me that it's a bridge apparently Leonarda says

the the Fisker what is that gene I've never heard of that car for fusca it

must be wherever you are Leonardo that must be a popular car for

you maybe it's electric hmm maybe you could tell us what send us a picture or

tell us what were who actually makes that car I wonder if it's actually

fuchsia it might be actually fuchsia well the CA looks like you like an

abbreviation of car yes so fusca first car yes I'd like to know what who makes

that because there is an electric car called the leaf isn't it there is leaf

the Nissan Leaf at a Japanese company it is it's of course electric cars are

becoming very popular in more affluent countries such as the UK because we can

afford to to spend money on what are essentially very expensive cars yes

which give you very little efficiency gain but there we go so yes haven't we

had enough talk about cars tonight I think we have sweetness meter is here

hello sweetness hi dear mr. Steve and my amazing teacher mr. Duncan thank you

very much sweetness a fragment of Hadrian's Wall

says Kara das no it isn't Marlin says it looks like an old bridge oh you might

you might be right who knows I will let you know later as it arrived accessed

atomic viaduct a thing for carrying something over water

Tomic say jute good Ravi it might be who knows again who knows it might be it

might not I love your accent Oh Thank You bass El Paso likes the UK accent

what about mr. Steve can you understand mr. Steve because some people say that

they can't understand what mr. Steve says because he talks very quickly and

and he gets very excited as well you get very excited don't you Steve

particularly when we're talking about cars and it's obvious people do like

talking about cars mr. Duncan because Alice is now asking a question okay

about electric car okay mr. Steve do you think it will totally replace the

traditional cars well all I've read I've read quite a lot about it and it would

seem that the general consensus the general feeling the general opinion is

that they won't totally take over okay there will always be a mix but there

will be more and more electric cars at the moment of course the electric cars

are becoming popular because they're cleaner well they're cleaner from the

point of view of the car itself is clean obviously their energy to charge the

batteries up in the car has had to be generated in some way probably from a

power station yes so what it's really doing is it's stopping the pollution at

local-level coming out of an exhaust pipe and it's transferring it to

wherever the pollution is coming out of a power station so this is my

disagreement as well about having electric cars because you still have to

generate the electricity that the cars run runoff so for somewhere you have to

have electricity that's being produced and the way you produce electricity is

by either using gas or coal or nuclear or so meltdown you still have to do it

you still have to create electricity somehow and of course by creating

electricity you have to at some point do something that might not be very good

for the environment but what it will do so you're still producing the base

probably the same amount of pollution but you're not getting it where the car

is so electric cars are probably going to become very popular particularly for

towns and cities because many of the major cities around the world suffer

greatly from pollution and a lot of it is is down due to vehicle emissions

particularly diesel cars so which what we're trying to do what most countries

are trying to do is get rid of the internal combustion engine for vehicles

in a city because if you've got the electric car in a city ok the

electricity may be produced somewhere else but it won't be in the city so the

air will be a lot cleaner but it's going to take many many years because at the

moment take the chip one of the cheapest electric cars at the moment is the

Nissan Leaf of we've mentioned that already that will go about a hundred and

sixty miles on a full charge but it takes something like eight hours to

charge it up so at the moment electric cars are only really practical if you're

travelling short distance yes you're gonna get about ten miles

no the Nissan Leaf will do about 160 miles oh yes I mind about yes but there

are most people nowadays are actually buying hybrid cars so a hybrid car

a bit of both well not many people are by actually buying them but a pure

electric car the problem is it's the range and then when you run out it takes

a long time to charge it oh so until they are developing technology though

that will mean that the range will get longer and longer but until it's but the

trouble is if the range gets longer it just means it's gonna take even longer

to charge it up hmm but to shorten the charging time you've got to have a

higher amount of electricity going into the car faster yes so that's gonna be

dangerous if you've got something like I mean a plug is 13 amps yes yes let's

keep it simple it just needs a lot of electricity a lot of electricity and

when you you you you've push a lot of electricity along the cable it becomes

more and more hazardous dangerous more hazardous so that's it yes so that's it

we don't want to go into amps and Watts I don't think so you answered your

question Alice I'm not an expert but I read a lot of car magazines and what

they're all saying is no they won't ever completely take a little because it's

just too difficult there will always be internal combustion engine is here to

stay yes for quite a while it may be in our

lifetime and quite possibly your lifetime as well so they're not going

anywhere we've had some answers for the mystery

place where is this place I will give you the

answer now because we are going in around about 10 minutes time yes I'm not

staying awful long so we are just doing it an hour tonight and we're not sure if

we're on on Sunday we're not here tomorrow night Steve is busy and I won't

be here either so we won't be on tomorrow night but hopefully we will be

we will we will be with you on Sunday so the mystery place where is it well I'm

going to tell you where it is now we'll have another look just to give you

another so there is another look and quite a few

people said is it a bridge and yes you are right in fact it is a bridge that

has featured in one of my lessons one of my English lessons and just to give you

an idea of what it normally looks like there are two things you will notice my

goodness in a moment first of all you will see the bridge and yes some people

did get it right it is the iron bridge oh dear what's wrong the funniest thing

on there is no one's looking at the bridge they just looking at you with a

beard oh yes I've got a beard there can you see my beard your your your

moustache I don't remember that's not a moustache it's a beard

yes but the bit that goes round your upper lip down towards the ran towards

the bottom of your chin yes but it's only a moustache if it's on it on its

own it looks like the shape of the bridge yes oh great thanks a lot are you

trying to give me another meltdown so there it is the iron bridge but at the

moment the iron bridge is actually undergoing some major renovation here is

another view of the iron bridge as it looks right now so there it is it is

under cover and what they are actually doing they are doing some renovation

work because it's a very old bridge built in the 1700 1800 s and the 18th

century rather and it which is 1700s so the iron bridge is being renovated and I

will give you another shot here just to show you what they are doing and you can

see that they are also changing the colour of the bridge so this is the

color that they are going to change the bridge to and there you can see the

construction date 1779 so that is a very old bridge but the most interesting

thing is that is the first suspended iron bridge

ever to be built from iron hence the name the iron bridge so there is the

color and I must admit I like this color it's a kind of oxide red would you say

yes that apparently they've discovered that

that's the the original color that the bridge was painted in hmm and as you

could see from that previous shot with you with the beard it has a gray color

so so here is the color originally with me that was the color habit what year

did you were this was like this must be I think this must be seven years ago

eight years ago I don't know how long it's been that color but it's been that

color for a long time and then someone discovered that in fact when the bridge

was originally built originally built it was this red color from there it's a

sort of it's a sort of a brownie red color yes it's well it's it's it's oxide

well of course it's the reason it's that color is because yes it's basically

that's what you paint iron to stop it going rusty you paint it in red oxide

paint so it protects the iron and stops it from going rustic yes so it's just it

wasn't that they chose red for the color that that's just that's just the color

and probably the only paint they had to put on I and to stop it going rusty so

they are using the original color the original oxide to actually cover the

bridge with so it will now have this glorious color I can't wait to see it to

be honest I can't wait to see it but sadly at the moment this is what the

bridge looks like at the moment so at the moment it's all covered up we'll do

a little lesson there when it's open and ready we will I think it will be ready

early next year so next year when it's finished when it's all complete we will

go there and we will make a lovely little lesson does that sound like a

good idea Steve it does oh it does indeed mr. Duncan okay so did I do well

tonight mr. doom I don't know I haven't seen it yet no I will have to have a

look of course you wrote with the

the Iron Bridge opened on the 1st of January 1781 there is actually a mistake

in my iron bridge lesson because I actually say 1881

so I actually say a hundred years later they have been right so I actually got

that wrong there is a mistake in the script mr. Duncan and so it should have

said 1781 but I said 1881 which is wrong of course because that's over a hundred

years later it didn't take a hundred years to build the iron bridge trust me

it didn't Leonarda the name of that River is the river 7 maybe I can write

that down let me just write that down let me just see if I can get that onto

the screen and write it down sometimes it works but it's not spelt like the

number seven it's spelt with an R in it and mr. Duncan is putting that on there

the river seven seven seven so there it is there is that the same as the number

seven so there is the spelling of the river seven and that is the main river

the main river that runs through this area it's a big river and it goes on for

quite a long way tell me yes we could we probably maroon is close yes that's the

actual color though but but what what the what that particular substance

describes is also what it's made from so it's red oxide it is also very oxide

paint that's it yes so it just happens to be red and it also serves a purpose

which is to protect the iron it's close to maroon but it's not quite Maroons a

bit deeper color than that hmm it's more of a brown it looks like red that's had

a bit of green mixed in with it okay we're running out of time Anna says I've

never seen mr. Duncan with a moustache and beard oh okay we'll have one last

look at my my beard there it is oh yes there I am at the iron bridge it's

horrible mr. ding I think this is about I think there's been this must be eight

years ago it must be this this must be about 2010 maybe even two

thousand and nine you're a very serious seriously well I was presenting I was

doing a little bit of presenting to camera I was talking about the Iron

Bridge so yeah there is a lesson on there although there is a mistake during

the actual lesson when I I say the wrong year of when it was open when it was

opened nicole says what's the car of the Queen the car of the Queen the Queen oh

she has lots of different cars doesn't jazz

she normally drives around if it's a very serious occasion a big occasion

maybe a Rolls Royce a Rolls Royce but then ordained mullah or a Daimler but

commonly the queen who does drive herself hmm

she's got a big estates in Scotland big houses big houses but she likes to drive

a Land Rover a Land Rover over that's what the Queen likes to drive the sort

of car that farmers drive yep okay can you believe that the Queen has

a Land Rover and that's what she likes to drive so she's often seen when she's

driving on her own or or by herself she's actually driving a Land Rover yes

Wow yeah exactly Alice the colour looks like

rust it does because that literally is what the paint is made of it's made of

it's made of iron that's gone rusty yes they turn it into a powder mix it in

with paint and then that's it protects the bridge hmm so it's very strange that

that happens in that way that they're actually putting rust onto the iron to

protect it so it's almost it's almost like a vaccine yes you give someone the

actual illness to cure them of the illness or to protect them from the

illness yeah say you put the clever the paint in rust yes and then of course

that you can't go in your rusty oh yes oh so rust can't go rusty because it's

already rusty I love myself to sleep lots of people it's quite late and we're

we're we're going to bed as well yes we are going soon because it's just gone 11

o'clock we are coming up to one hour we've been on

and I think we will leave it there thanks a lot for joining us I hope you

enjoyed mr. Steve's presentation for the first 15 minutes of tonight's live

stream I am back we will be back I think we will be back on Sunday we will put

something together for Sunday and then hopefully I will know what is happening

I will know exactly what is going on so we will be able to give you a bit more

information about the new lessons and the live streams as well so really it's

up to you it's it depends on what you want if you want more of this if you

want more of this please let me know so there that's it that's all I can say

really a couple of quick things war love wants to know what's the secret for

speaking English quickly speaking English quickly well it's just practice

justice you start off slowly and then you get quicker there is a lesson on my

youtube channel where I go through the alphabet and I do it very quickly and

that's a good way of getting used to speaking or using English quickly you

see how fast you can say something maybe you can learn a sentence you can learn a

passage and then you can see how fast you can actually recite it so that's it

it's it's as simple as that practice practice makes perfect

MX 25 says goodbye also Alice please let me know in advance

I don't want to miss the live stream Sergio says I don't Sergio I think is

making a joke who my French is getting a bit rusty oh I see while I study English

so he's using an analogy there yes well you see the rest it's an idiom an idiom

the rest on that on the bridge so if you are getting rusty with something it

means you are losing the ability to do it so because I'm learning so much

English my French is becoming rusty mmm I am losing the ability to speak French

that's it I think we will give you a very clever

yes very good that's a good expression a good idiom

shall we go Steve or else we'll be here for another hour if you have your chance

yes okay so we'll see one Sunday thanks a

lot to Lina and a Ronde and Ana Sergio Mir am Diego

thank you very much and it's nice to see you all again on the live chat we will

be back on Sunday no live stream tomorrow Steve is busy and I'm not here

so there will be no live stream tomorrow and we will hopefully see you on Sunday

I will post the time on my youtube channel and you will know when it is so

don't worry about that you won't miss out I will try to let you all know when

everything is happening so that's it this is mr. Duncan and mr. Steve saying

ta ta for now and we will see you on Sunday from 2 o'clock UK time 2 p.m. UK

time on Sunday and of course you know what's coming next from me mr. Steve has

just said it so I will say it as well

Ta ta for now
