12
333930
6620
05:40
English addict late and live
13
340550
4650
05:53
oh hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today are you okay I
14
353840
14700
06:08
hope so are you happy I hope so here we go again it is another live show
15
368540
10409
06:18
however things are a little bit different first of all I'm on much later
16
378949
5641
06:24
it feels very strange to be doing a very late live stream I must be honest with
17
384590
5820
06:30
you normally this time of night I am relaxed in front of the television
18
390410
4770
06:35
watching space 1999 but unfortunately I can't do that tonight because I'm here
19
395180
6000
06:41
with you I've had such a busy day I can't begin to tell you what a busy day
20
401180
5989
06:47
I've had not only myself but also Steve as well because it is official I'm sure
21
407169
8560
06:55
Steve will shout at me and complain but now we are officially in show business
22
415729
8000
07:03
that's all I'm saying so we've had a very busy day we went
23
423729
4211
07:07
somewhere today to do something I don't know why I'm
24
427940
6000
07:13
being so secretive now to be honest with you I want to tell you what we are doing
25
433940
4770
07:18
however Steve wants to keep it a secret for a little bit longer so that's the
26
438710
5760
07:24
reason why as you can see I'm busy doing the last part of my Christmas light
27
444470
7949
07:32
hanging so I'm still hanging some of my Christmas lights and here you can see
28
452419
6000
07:38
some of them right now now the worst part of putting up your Christmas lights
29
458419
6680
07:45
every year this happens so if you are like me if you like putting lights up in
30
465099
6911
07:52
your house and it doesn't matter if it's Christmas or not it doesn't have to be
31
472010
5219
07:57
Christmas to be honest you can put some lovely lights up outside or inside your
32
477229
5641
08:02
house at any time of year so the worst part is getting the lights
33
482870
10150
08:13
untangled because sometimes they become very tangled so you can see here that
34
493020
6040
08:19
these lights have become very tangled so the first thing I have to do normally
35
499060
6120
08:25
when I get my Christmas lights out of the Attic first of all I have to
36
505180
7040
08:32
untangle the lights and as you can see here these particular lights are in a
37
512220
6900
08:39
complete tangle so I have to first of all untangle these lights tangle so if
38
519120
10180
08:49
something is tangled it is hard to work out or to unravel so maybe a tangled set
39
529300
12780
09:02
of Christmas lights like these you see so these lights are tangled I have to
40
542080
6150
09:08
earn tangle these lights before I can hang them unfortunately
41
548230
6090
09:14
hello to everybody I am very keen to find out how this will go because it's
42
554320
8100
09:22

43
562420
7290
09:29

61
696820
7050
11:43
I'm doing something as well now I want to give you a little clue as to what I'm
62
703870
5580
11:49
doing this Friday so this piece of video is going to give you a clue as to what
63
709450
8100
11:57
I'm doing on Friday and the most exciting part of this is I will be doing
64
717550
6660
12:04
it live on YouTube
65
724210
4850
14:13
so there it is a clue a small clue as to what I will be doing on Friday but the
66
853190
8170
14:21
big question is what is it what will I be doing on Friday all of that coming
67
861360
7980
14:29
later on however we have something more important to mention the live chat I
68
869340
5670
14:35
can't forget the live chat so let's have a look I wonder who was first on today's
69
875010
7110
14:42
live chat now this is rather confusing because when I first started today Luis
70
882120
8550
14:50
Mendez was first but now Luis has disappeared so now it says sue seeker is
71
890670
8250
14:58
first on the live stream so I'm not sure what is going on there maybe it is a
72
898920
4890
15:03
problem with YouTube I don't know but can I say hello to Luis Mendez who did
73
903810
4890
15:08
appear first on today's live chat and I will say hello also to zoo Zika cm and
74
908700
7950
15:16
Irene Irene as well hello to you and congratulations for being the first
75
916650
7320
15:23
people on this live chat
76
923970
4610
15:33
very nice and I'm SuperDuper excited today do you know why because the lights
77
933200
5340
15:38
are on let's have a look outside shall we so these are actually the lights
78
938540
5760
15:44
outside right now so let's have a look outside the window and we can slowly
79
944300
7260
15:51
fade into the lights and there they are right now outside I went outside earlier
80
951560
8040
15:59
even though it's freezing cold outside I placed a camera near the house and there
81
959600
7080
16:06
you can see a mix of the lights right now twinkling away and I'm sure the
82
966680
7890
16:14
neighbors will be ever so pleased to see that I've put the lights on again this
83
974570
5220
16:19
year now for those who don't know I live in a village and I'm very high up above
84
979790
5479
16:25
the rest of the village so every year I always like to put a lovely display of
85
985269
5831
16:31
lights on the front of the house not only for myself but also for the whole
86
991100
6660
16:37
village to enjoy as well so this isn't just for me I also do this for the whole
87
997760
7170
16:44
of the village as well so they can look up at night and see my Christmas lights
88
1004930
5480
16:50
twinkling in the distance
89
1010410
5039
16:55
so I think that is rather nice a something nice to look at I don't know
90
1015780
4770
17:00
about you but I love seeing twinkly lights twinkle I love that word so if
91
1020550
7529
17:08
you look at these lights I have here you will see that they are twinkling twinkle
92
1028079
8880
17:16
so if something twinkles it means it goes on and off on and off
93
1036959
9091
17:26
in fact if you have lots of things doing the same you can say that these lights
94
1046050
7140
17:33
are twinkling so twinkle I'm sure someone is going to complain about this
95
1053190
7440
17:40
they're going to say mr. Duncan do you know how irresponsible it is wearing
96
1060630
5930
17:46
electric lights around your neck don't worry these are not high voltage lights
97
1066560
6640
17:53
they are low voltage so don't worry I will not get electrocuted I will not get
98
1073200
5700
17:58
any nasty shocks unless of course you want to give me a nasty shock who knows
99
1078900
6270
18:05
so where am I going on Friday well this week I've had a busy week I must be
100
1085170
6060
18:11
honest with you a lot of things going on and one of the things I will be doing
101
1091230
5790
18:17
this week I'm going somewhere very special and the reason why I'm going
102
1097020
6840
18:23
there is a certain reason and there is the place I will be at on Friday so this
103
1103860
9180
18:33
Friday I will be looking at this site so this is the place that's very near to
104
1113040
7680
18:40
where I live so this is Iron Bridge you saw the video earlier on of me walking
105
1120720
6030
18:46
around the town of Iron Bridge but there you can see some very interesting
106
1126750
5360
18:52
chimneys at the local power station Ironbridge power station and for the
107
1132110
8080
19:00
past three years this particular power station has been closed however on
108
1140190
6170
19:06
Friday
109
1146360
3000
19:10
unfortunately this power station is going to be demolished
110
1150290
5740
19:16
so these chimneys are actually going to be blown up they are going to be
111
1156030
5640
19:21
demolished they will blow these chimneys up and they will fall to the ground so
112
1161670
8190
19:29
that is what is happening on Friday and I will be there live so this Friday we
113
1169860
7530
19:37
have live demolition taking place Friday the 6th of December 2019 and the local
114
1177390
8580
19:45
power station is being demolished it is no longer used so it's going to be blown
115
1185970
5910
19:51
up and those four cooling towers you can see will all be razed to the ground so
116
1191880
9660
20:01
if you raise something to the ground it means you demolish it you knock it
117
1201540
5160
20:06
down you bring it down so these particular chimneys are going to be
118
1206700
6590
20:13
demolished this Friday and I will be there live filming the whole thing
119
1213290
6900
20:20
hopefully I will be able to do a live stream from there but I will also be
120
1220190
7150
20:27
recording the demolition as well so just in case I can't do the live stream on
121
1227340
6960
20:34
Friday I will still be filming the event itself so there's something to look
122
1234300
6300
20:40
forward to on Friday I will be viewing a demolition very local to where I live
123
1240600
7440
20:48
and I couldn't resist sharing it with you so that is happening this Friday and
124
1248040
7140
20:55
for those who are wondering what time the demolition is taking place it will
125
1255180
5520
21:00
happen at 11:00 a.m. UK time so 11 o'clock in the morning the chimneys
126
1260700
9480
21:10
the cooling towers will be demolished and I will be there live streaming the
127
1270180
7110
21:17
whole thing to you

7600
21:28
hello Louis Belarusian was just on the live chat but
130
1288720
5340
21:34
unfortunately because of the time difference and because I'm on much later
131
1294060
4380
21:38
tonight it feels very strange during this it's now 25 past 8:00 at night
132
1298440
8160
21:46
normally I'm sitting in front of the television watching space 1999 but I'm
133
1306600
5490
21:52
not I'm talking to you live on youtube so Belarusian was on earlier and yes
134
1312090
7620

1319710
4790
22:04

136
1324500
6450
22:10

137
1330950
15100
22:26
hello Mehmet nice to see you here as well so many people here just in case I
138
1346050
6840
22:32
forget you on the live chat please don't complain I don't normally have time to
139
1352890
5190
22:38
say hello to everyone but I do try my best
140
1358080
4680
22:42
honestly I really do try hello to mikela hello also - I'm Yasser it is still
141
1362760
10230
22:52
today I guess you mean Wednesday and we have around 35 minutes before tomorrow
142
1372990
8070
23:01
so I'm yasser is officially 34 minutes away from tomorrow we have a little bit
143
1381060
9000
23:10
longer to wait before tomorrow arrives just another 21 days before Christmas
144
1390060
8430
23:18
and in a roundabout I think it's 9 days is it 9 days or
145
1398490
7590
23:26
maybe 8 days we have we have a general election taking place here so we will be
146
1406080
6930
23:33
voting for a new government in just a few days
147
1413010
3000
23:36
time so it's a very strange time of year to do that but of course here in the UK
148
1416010
6990
23:43
it has been a very strange year talking of this year the oxford university press
149
1423000
8970
23:51
have just released what they consider to be the word of the year do you know what
150
1431970
8850
24:00
the word of the year is according to the Oxford University Press I will show you
151
1440820
6390
24:07
right now so according to the Oxford University Press the word of the year
152
1447210
7890
24:15
for 2019 is climate emergency now I don't think that's a word I think it's
153
1455100
9360
24:24
two words in fact I think it's a phrase so climate emergency has been voted the
154
1464460
7650
24:32
word or should I say the phrase of the year because a word is normally one
155
1472110
6330
24:38
thing however that that looks like a phrase to me so the word of the year is
156
1478440
7440
24:45
climate emergency the question I'm going to ask today is what is your word of the
157
1485880
7320
24:53
year what is your word from 2009 or 2019 I wish it was 2009 so what is your word
158
1493200
11190
25:04
of the year is there an English word that sums up how you feel about this
159
1504390
6000
25:10
year so it can be any English word so a word that you think describes this year
160
1510390
8180
25:18
perfectly I suppose if I had to choose my word of 2019 I would say chaotic or
161
1518570
11560
25:30
chaos so I think this year has definitely been a year of chaos however
162
1530130
8040
25:38
what is your word of the year is there an English word that you think
163
1538170
5750
25:43
describes 2019 as we come towards the end of this year
164
1543920
5920
25:49
and 2020 is just around the corner can you believe it
165
1549840
6290
25:56

27:40
hello also to Ahmed again hello palmyra in london now it is such an important
180
1660870
8820
27:49
event the NATO summit yes all of the world leaders are at the moment in
181
1669690
6060
27:55
London talking about the world the situations that are
182
1675750
5170
28:00
around the world and I think we know what they are in fact I would say there
183
1680920
6450
28:07
are many countries at the moment that are having difficulties political
184
1687370
5570
28:12
financial social so I think there are many things happening at the moment
185
1692940
6850
28:19
around the world thank you all so - oh there is another Luis here Luis says my
186
1699790
9930
28:29
word of the year now this is Luis Miguel my word of the year is party I think so
187
1709720
9000
28:38
well I suppose if you are a person who likes going to parties maybe you like
188
1718720
6270
28:44
going to a nightclub in the weekend you are a person who likes to party
189
1724990
7440
28:52
so the word party can actually be used as both a noun and a verb so if you
190
1732430
8160
29:00
party it means you are having fun you are doing something that is fun maybe
191
1740590
6750
29:07
dancing or singing with other people so normally you party with other people
192
1747340
6960
29:14
so you go to a place where people are celebrating an event or having lots of
193
1754300
5520
29:19
fun generally so party and of course the the noun is the party the thing that is
194
1759820
7920
29:27
happening is a party so you can go to a party
195
1767740
5070
29:32
and you can party all night so yes I think that's a good word and an
196
1772810
7020
29:39
interesting one because it can be used in more than one way ceci hello ceci
197
1779830
7280
29:47
Lera hello mr. Danko thank you for this night

6480
30:09
livestream late on Wednesday and I know quite a few people liked it
202
1809290
5469
30:14
however because my life is sometimes very hectic and sometimes chaotic it's
203
1814759
9300
30:24
not always possible to do all of this every single week so quite often I have
204
1824059
7530
30:31
to have a little rest and also I have to do other things as well so life
205
1831589
6090

206
1837679

30:50

208
1850339

210
1870589
7340

1877929
6580
31:24

215
1921580
6929
32:08
Wednesday night because normally on Wednesday I'm with you in the afternoon
216
1928509
4221
32:12
but because today mr. Steve officially entered show business that's all I can
217
1932730
9309
32:22
say because Steve has told me not to tell you what it is we are doing but
218
1942039
5431
32:27
today we officially entered the world of show business so it's been a very hectic
219
1947470
8639
32:36
day thank you very much for joining me and I hope you are enjoying this very
220
1956109
4981
32:41
unusual livestream English addict for those who can't get enough of the
221
1961090
6539
32:47
beautiful language that is English I've heard a couple of messages are there any
222
1967629
10110
32:57

223
1977739
12361
33:10

1990100
4889
33:14
your pronounced your name right are there any other words similar to party
225
1994989
5070
33:20
you could have celebration so when you have a party you might be celebrating
226
2000059
5610
33:25
something so normally a party is an event that is being held to celebrate
227
2005669
7710
33:33
something so there is always lots of fun to have a fun event a fun celebration
228
2013379
8900
33:42
something that is celebrated maybe a birthday party or maybe a wedding
229
2022279
6730
33:49
reception so maybe earlier in the day you attended a wedding and then later on
230
2029009
6540
33:55
you will go to a party so the celebration of the couple getting
231
2035549
6000
34:01
married so you go along to the party so quite often we use party to mean a
232
2041549
6210
34:07
celebration of something of course you can have
233
2047759
4471
34:12
other types of party I suppose yes maybe if you move house you move to a new
234
2052230
7439
34:19
house or you move to another house maybe you have a housewarming party so when we
235
2059669
7980
34:27
say housewarming it means you are allowing all of your friends to come and
236
2067649
5821
34:33
look at your house and you are giving your house a little bit of atmosphere by
237
2073470
7199
34:40
inviting all of your friends to have a look so quite often a person will have a
238
2080669
5240
34:45
housewarming celebration or party so you invite your friends to come and enjoy a
239
2085909
8291
34:54
night at your new home hello Abdullah happy Christmas Thank You
240
2094200
5580
34:59
Abdullah that's very kind of you now I like
241
2099780
3210
35:02
Christmas very much I like the celebration I like the colour
242
2102990
3629
35:06
I like the food today mr. Steve and also myself we had our first Christmas meal
243
2106619
11701
35:18
of 2019 so today we had a Christmas meal now we were attending a Christmas party
244
2118320
7200
35:25
for some people and that's all I can say because Steve won't let me tell you he
245
2125520
6870
35:32
has gagged me unfortunately he said Duncan you can't tell people
246
2132390
6150
35:38
what I am doing at the moment so he wants to keep it a secret but today we
247
2138540
4950
35:43
had the most delicious Christmas meal very nice and I'm sure there will be
248
2143490
5100
35:48
many more to come mr. Duncan are you sure that there is no radiation around
249
2148590
7580
35:56
asks Luis Mendez do you mean from my lights maybe yes there might be some
250
2156170
6490
36:02
radiation from these lights I don't know but fortunately the voltage the
251
2162660
5459
36:08
electricity going through these is not high so this is very low power and
252
2168119
6211
36:14
that's one of the things I like about nowadays is you can have lots of lights
253
2174330
4080
36:18
and lots of color but they use very little energy very little energy
254
2178410
7260
36:25
so I always consider that so I don't waste too much electricity even though
255
2185670
6149
36:31
some people might say that I have a message here my phrase of the year is
256
2191819
9230
36:41
English lessons I think so well for those who are intending to improve their
257
2201049
7601
36:48
English or learn English as we come to the end of 2019 and we enter a brand new
258
2208650
7949
36:56
year so lots of things happening from my
259
2216599
4200
37:00
point of view because there is a new website that I'm building at the moment
260
2220799
6591
37:07
Rondon Delhi says life is good but it isn't easy if there's one thing
261
2227390
6490
37:13
I've learned over the many many years that I've been alive it's that life is
262
2233880
7830
37:21
always hard there is always a problem that comes along sometimes it is
263
2241710
5280
37:26
something unexpected sometimes it is a thing that comes suddenly out of the
264
2246990
9059
37:36
blue something that you weren't expecting and of course sometimes other
265
2256049
5730
37:41
people can try to make your life difficult as well so I think sometimes
266
2261779
6750
37:48
you have situations that are difficult and also sometimes people as well people
267
2268529
6931
37:55
can try to make your life very difficult hello obey I am against climate risks
268
2275460
9720
38:05
there are sustainability programs but will it be the solution of the meteor oh
269
2285180
8669
38:13
I see so I get the feeling that obey believes that there is a giant meteor
270
2293849
7351
38:21
heading towards the planet well we do have this from time to time you hear on
271
2301200
6000
38:27
the news sometimes that maybe a meteor is coming very close to Earth even
272
2307200
6599
38:33
though it's still thousands and thousands of miles away in in relative
273
2313799
5601
38:39
terms it is very close so yes I sometimes think of that and there have
274
2319400
6870
38:46
been many science fiction movies about things landing on the planet meteors
275
2326270
7430
38:53
spaceships and other things Nazrin is here hello mr. Duncan from
276
2333700
6820
39:00
Turkey my word of the year is tired because I'm a housewife and I have two
277
2340520
8819
39:09
children I understand your problem I don't have children of my own however I
278
2349339
7051
39:16
have my sisters who have children for many years I've watched their children
279
2356390
6209
39:22
grow up and there's one thing I realize raising a child is not easy so again
280
2362599
6480
39:29
just like life sometimes there are joyful moments and sometimes there are
281
2369079
6270
39:35
difficult moments in fact some people might say the older a child gets the
282
2375349
6210
39:41
more problems they present that's not my opinion that's just something I've heard
283
2381559
8550
39:50
from someone else hello to Anna mr. Duncan I am really addicted to mr.
284
2390109
8581
39:58
Duncan's live stream and the live stream I love chatting in English with the
285
2398690
5700
40:04
other classmates thank you very much I'm glad that you enjoy this there have been
286
2404390
5310
40:09
some changes taking place over the past few weeks because YouTube is also making
287
2409700
6000
40:15
some big changes so over the next few weeks as we go into 2020 there will be
288
2415700
8220
40:23
quite a few changes taking place on YouTube and I will be moving my my main
289
2423920
7070
40:30
viewing platform away from YouTube I will still be making YouTube videos and
290
2430990
7510
40:38
livestreams but I won't have my main page here it will be somewhere else come
291
2438500
8579
40:47
on mr. Duncan mr. Steve won't ever know that you told us says I'm Yasser
292
2447079
5671
40:52
can I just say Steve we'll find out from someone maybe one of his friends or
293
2452750
7080
40:59
maybe his parents or maybe his sister someone will tell Steve that I told you
294
2459830
8460
41:08
so I have to be very careful I don't want to be punished again
295
2468290
6620
41:14
Jamelia hello Jamelia it seems like a long time since I said hello to you I
296
2474910
5650
41:20
like the fairy lights around your neck yes I have some lovely fairy lights I
297
2480560
6660
41:27
like that name so these little lights look like fairies dancing I wish I could
298
2487220
10290
41:37
turn the lights off so you could see them however we can have a look outside
299
2497510
4070
41:41
so these are the lights outside at the moment outside the house the lights are
300
2501580
9250
41:50
twinkling and there is a live view outside right now so you have two views
301
2510830
7790
41:58
looking at the front and also the back of the house and I've mixed them
302
2518620
4540
42:03
together so there you can see the lights now at this very moment outside
303
2523160
5510
42:08
twinkling in the cold night air and now I'm coming back I'm sorry about that
304
2528670
9450
42:18
so what is your favorite word your English word that you might say could be
305
2538120
9100
42:27
the word of 2019 so what is your word of this year is there an English word that
306
2547220
7800
42:35
you think describes this year very well my word is chaotic or may be
307
2555020
6690
42:41
chaos I suppose I could choose quite a few words in fact maybe indecision
308
2561710
8120
42:49
indecision so you can't make up your mind you can't make a decision you can't
309
2569830
6400
42:56
choose something so maybe you have a choice maybe you have a choice of two
310
2576230
6270
43:02
things and you are finding it very difficult
311
2582500
3529
43:06
to make a decision you are undecided so you can't make a decision so what is
312
2586029
7860
43:13
your word of the year is there an English word that sums up how you feel
313
2593889
5510
43:19
about this year and the reason why I'm saying that is because the word of the
314
2599399
6400
43:25
year according to the Oxford University Press
315
2605799
3960
43:29
is climate emergency apparently they think that word is the most important
316
2609759
8040
43:37
word of 2019 what do you think maybe you have a better word maybe something you
317
2617799
7700
43:45
want to mention if there is let me know I will be with you for another 12
318
2625499
7330
43:52
minutes roe sir oh hello Rosa Rosa asks a very
319
2632829
5880
43:58
interesting question mr. Duncan why will the chimneys be demolished why will they
320
2638709
9120
44:07
be demolished well the power station is no longer used so the power station
321
2647829
6780
44:14
stopped generating electricity I think it was about three years ago 2016 I
322
2654609
7980
44:22
think it stopped producing electricity it might even be 2015 but it was quite a
323
2662589
7650
44:30
while ago so this particular power station is now derelict it is abandoned
324
2670239
6720
44:36
so a company has bought it and they are going to demolish the power station and
325
2676959
7730
44:44
in its place they will build some new houses so there will be houses built on
326
2684689
7240
44:51
this particular site that you can see now on your screen and just to mention I
327
2691929
6780
44:58
will be there on Friday so if I can get a connection so that's the big question
328
2698709
6810
45:05
if I can get a live connection we will witness the demolition together
329
2705519
7670
45:13
something I've never done before I have never live-streamed the
330
2713189
5110
45:18
demolition a building ever in my life so that's
331
2718299
4020
45:22
something I'm going to do on Friday 11:00 a.m. on Friday the power station
332
2722319
8581
45:30
the cooling towers that you can see there will be no more they will be gone
333
2730900
11929
45:42
they are being demolished on Friday in fact I only found out about it at the
334
2742829
7631
45:50
start of the week so they've been keeping it a secret they've not been
335
2750460

2360
49:28
hello cm hello also too optimistic hello optimistic I really like your name
367
2968790
8770
49:37
by the way hello to Noemi who asks was the Power Station a coal power station
368
2977560
9029
49:46
yes yes that's one of the reasons why it is being decommissioned that's the
369
2986589
5851
49:52
reason why it was closed down so not only that but when they build a power
370
2992440
5849
49:58
station they are designed to produce a certain amount of electricity over time
371
2998289
8490
50:06
so once they reach that limit of time that's it they close the power station
372
3006779
8371
50:15
now so yes it used to be powered by coal and then around about seven or eight
373
3015150
6689
50:21
years ago they changed some of the ways that the power station works and then it
374
3021839
6240
50:28
used these recycled pieces of wood I don't know how they did it but
375
3028079
7111
50:35
apparently they use old wood and refuse so things that people throw away and
376
3035190
6899
50:42
then they they reuse it as fuel so I don't really understand how that works
377
3042089
6331
50:48
but apparently that was the alternative the alternative from coal but the power
378
3048420
7049
50:55
station has finally closed down it will be demolished on Friday and hopefully I
379
3055469
7650
51:03
will be there live and maybe you will as well to see the cooling towers fall to
380
3063119
10620
51:13
the ground hello - Jamelia again hello Jamelia nice to see you
381
3073739
7250
51:20
2019 has been hectic I like that yes a busy period of time a time when you
382
3080989
9431
51:30
can't find a moment for yourself hectic so if something is hectic it is busy
383
3090420
8730
51:39
maybe you have a lot of things to do during your day or your week or your
384
3099150
4679
51:43
month so yes hectic a lot of things are going on hello - Omar mr. Duncan you

52:01
o'clock this morning mr. Steve and I went to a special event and that's all I
387
3121079
11071
52:12
can say but what I can say is that we had a lovely Christmas meal very nice in
388
3132150
9209
52:21
fact hello also to Palmyra what a pity I
389
3141359
3931
52:25
won't see that demolition live because I will be attending a conference yes it's
390
3145290
6480
52:31
happening in the morning so on Friday the demolition will take place at 11:00

6661
52:44
the morning UK time to prepare for the demolition
393
3164760
7099
52:51
they will blow the chimneys up with dynamite cm says I like the word light
394
3171859
12041
53:03
because the dark because the dark is a lot but light is just one if I had a
395
3183900
10770
53:14
choice between light and darkness I think light is much better and that's
396
3194670
6270
53:20
probably the reason why people like looking at lights because they make you
397
3200940
4440
53:25
feel happy they cheer you up I think so Anna Kobi for most children living in

3293580

6570
56:13
are that is actually a live view of the lights outside the house right now and
422
3373270
7470
56:20
many of my neighbors tonight I'm sure they were looking out of their windows
423
3380740
4650
56:25
and they were looking up at my Christmas lights twinkling away over the village
424
3385390
10240
56:35
I hope you enjoyed them as well very nice what is the name of that power
425
3395630
9419
56:45
station can you spell it well it's actually in a place called
426
3405049
4680
56:49
iron bridge however the name itself is different so I will show you the the
427
3409729
8850
56:58
actual spelling again for those who want to write it down here it is now so the
428
3418579
6930
57:05
live demolition will take place on Friday hopefully I will be able to get
429
3425509
4800
57:10
an internet connection on my phone so I can stream it live so the name of the
430
3430309
7321
57:17
place is build West's build West's power station and the cooling towers you can
431
3437630
7020
57:24

432
3444650
6569
57:31
to blow them up with dynamite and then they will fall to the ground hopefully
433
3451219
7760
57:38
so hopefully everything will go well so that is what is happening and I hope now
434
3458979
5681
57:44
you have had time to write the name of that down you might even find some news
435
3464660
6089
57:50
stories concerning this at the weekend so there might be some news stories
436
3470749
6171
57:56
maybe on the internet talking about that particular subject but I hopefully will
437
3476920
6429
58:03
be live on Friday from that very place it's almost time to go oh no this hour
438
3483349
9660
58:13
has gone by so quickly anna says normal is normally or sometimes a synonym of
439
3493009
11960
58:24
boring I think yes I think you're right there some of the most boring people
440
3504969
6130
58:31
that I've ever met in my life would probably consider themselves as normal
441
3511099
6531
58:37
they don't really do anything with their lives they might even be a little bit
442
3517630
5709
58:43
lazy even so a normal person is I always say
443
3523339
6031
58:49
normal is subjective so maybe your idea of normal is different from someone
444
3529370
7620
58:56
else's so you think normal is that you think normal is something else so
445
3536990
9840
59:06
everyone has their own opinion or idea of what it is to be normal a word that
446
3546830
9000
59:15
seems so innocent and yet so controversial
447
3555830
6410
59:23
thank you to Rosso sin em sin em likes my accent thank you very much for that
448
3563080
7210
59:30
yes a British accent people here in the UK have many different types of accent
449
3570290
6450
59:36
as you do in your country so wherever you go in the world you will always hear
450
3576740
5700
59:42
different accents so quite often English is spoken in different ways because of
451
3582440
7500
59:49
the accent however the English is the same it's still the same as everyone
452
3589940
8070
59:58
else who speaks English hello Juliet Nicholas
453

60:02

456
