A storm is coming to the UK / 11th Sep 2019 / Live English Lesson with Mr Duncan

I'm coming now I'm on my way I'm on my way to say hello to you I am

on my way don't worry I'm on my way

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

hope so are you SuperDuper happy I really really hope so I can't believe

that we are here again together on YouTube but this is no ordinary

livestream because today I'm doing something a little different I have

decided to come up on the roof to do a special livestream now normally there

would be a full english lesson today so normally you would have a recorded

lesson but I thought today I would do something a little different so here I

am outside up on the roof as you can see the sun is shining however it is also

very windy and there is a reason why it is windy because we have two tropical

storms heading towards us at the moment so we have tropical durian so tropical

storm durian and also storm Gabrielle which is actually on the way now so you

might notice around me it is a little bit windy there are some very strong

winds battering the UK at the moment I will just activate my live chat let's

see if we have some people watching that is the big question I mean I might be

standing here on the roof at the moment on my own talking to no one

so who knows I might actually be just talking to myself here so let's see

shall we am I talking to myself or are there some

people on the live chat let's have a look oh hello there Maria hello Maria

thank you for joining me today I'm on the roof I'm outside standing in

the wind I hope I don't get hit by anything I hope no large objects fly by

and hit me on the head although having said that it might knock some sense into

me to be honest so hello Maria congratulations you are first on the

live chat oh sorry we have no applause sorry about

that just just try to imagine that there are applause at the moment it is a

little bit windy today can you see behind me that the trees are

blowing all over the place so hello also - hi fam

hello hi fam who says hello mr. Duncan hello to you as well a big hi from

England on the roof and we have two tropical storms on the way we have

tropical storm durian and also tropical storm Gabrielle also on the way so two

storms will be hitting the United Kingdom over the next 24 hours and

already the weather is a little bit unsettled to say the least

however there is good news because all of these storms are apparently bringing

lots of nice warm air as well so it looks as if we're going to have some

nice weather over the next few days which is lovely really isn't it when you

think about it it's quite nice hello also to Maria again also to Sita

see Tyler hello to see Tyler watching in I think you're watching in Egypt is that

right I think you are in Egypt a big hello to you as well I can later hello

good evening my good teacher my good teacher good evening okay I added the

second good but the first good was real but the second good I decided to act

hello to the Lego boy hello Lego boy in Australia how are you today I'm okay but

I've decided to do something very stupid there is a tropical storm in fact there

are two tropical storms heading this way so I thought I would come up on the roof

and do a special livestream from up here right on the roof hello Olivia Hiroko

hello also all these old hello old is gold I don't recognize

your name are you new here if it is your first time on the live chat please let

me know also helena is here watching in Brazil I have a feeling that there will

be lots of people watching in South America because in South America it is

still early in the morning hello also to FA hello to you hello to franceska also

Ana again mr. Duncan I like your new t-shirt and the new hat they look

different and nice thank you very much I've actually had this t-shirt for a

very long time so this is not new this is quite old but I don't normally wear

this t-shirt on the live stream but today I thought I would wear something

red and vivid hello also to Kemal hello Kamal I

thought I would do something slightly different because last week if you

remember I did a livestream with my mobile phone whilst out walking so I

thought today I would do something different and go up on the roof as we

say hello to tropical storm durian and also Gabrielle or Gabriel apparently

Gabriel can be a lady's name or a man's name which might be very confusing for

some Janna says hello mr. Duncan from Spain a big hole letter to Spain nice to

see you here today Spain is here on the livestream

hello also to Mika hello Mika nice to see you here just to prove that Japan is

not the only country that gets strong winds and rain so you can see we are

having a little bit of a blustery day the wind is blowing because there are

two storms heading towards the UK however the good news is they are also

bringing some lovely warm weather so over the next few days it is going to be

rather nice here already the newspapers are saying it's

going to be a heat wave as they always do

I don't know if your newspapers are similar to here but here in the UK our

newspapers tend to exaggerate we often make things seem much worse than they

really are hello also to Rakesh

hello Rakesh hello mr. Denker nice to see you again I'm struggling with my

English and I want to learn more from another one who is fluent in English

well first of all listening to my English lessons including my live

streams will help you to improve your English because improving your English

listening is also part of learning English so joining me on the live chat

joining me on the live stream also watching my recorded lessons can help

you to improve your English and you might notice today there are live

captions so if you look underneath you will see that there are some live

captions if not please press C on your keyboard and you will have live captions

so as I speak to you you will see exactly what I'm saying

on the screen which will also help you with your English so there are many ways

of using my live streams and also the live chat to improve your English yes

there are two tropical storms that are going to hit the United Kingdom and of

course that includes England as well because I am in England

hello also to Vietnam oh hello to Vietnam to win mock kiss

here also Manu hello Manu Manu Khan living in India a

big hello to India Oh by the way I was very sorry to hear that

the probe that you sent him to the moon had a problem as it landed so I was

actually watching the television at the weekend so last weekend I was actually

watching a live feed from India as they were waiting for the probe that they

would they had sent to the moon to send back a signal but sadly they lost

contact with it so that was sad I was quite excited about that to be

honest it seems like a long time since we we took any interest in the moon so I

was rather excited about that to be honest

hello to accent hello to you mr. Duncan your weather is like in Spain very

similar sorry for my English don't worry I can

understand what you said it was very clear so don't worry about it

please mr. Duncan don't feel cold well I don't feel cold that's the strange thing

I'm not cold I'm actually very hot at the moment I feel really hot right now

because the the air isn't cold so so the wind is blowing

however the the wind is actually warm air so to be honest with you it feels

quite pleasant appear today on the roof Claudio says hello as well Ruben hello

Ruben nice to see you with your smiley face Mika hello Tamiko as well also

Pavel apparently Russia is watching my video lessons hello to Russia a big

privat to you as well rakesh says I am a fan of your videos and hopefully I will

be fluent in English well that is the aim that is the goal of everyone who is

learning English one day you will be fluent in English

you will hello Ahmed nice to see your clothes well I thought today I would

wear some clothes because I don't think it's a good idea to stand on my roof

naked I don't think the neighbors would be very happy to be honest hello also

too if Wang and Louis is here hello Louis as always I haven't received any

notification the one thing I will say for those who are not receiving

notifications can you make sure that you have your notifications activate it

because I think that might be one of the reasons why you are not receiving the

notifications because perhaps perhaps the notifications haven't been activated

so that is just an idea just something to suggest to you right now hello mr.

Duncan I'm glad to hear from you again Thank You Claudio I am here today on the

rooftop high up and as you can see we have the beautiful view of the

Shropshire Hills say hello to Shropshire and Shropshire

says hello to you where are you now I am on the roof there was a song recorded

many years ago up on the roof when this old world starts getting me down there

is one place that I like to go upon the roof hello also - Rakesh again oh it

would appear that a lot of people want to say hello today please don't type too

many messages or I will have to put you on hold

hello also from whistle hello whistle I haven't seen you before

is it your first time here I'm always interested in two things

especially when I'm doing my live streams I'm interested to know how good

your English is but also I'm very interested to know where you are where

you are actually watching so I'm always interested to know those two things some

people watch me in very strange places can I say some people watch me in very

strange places are saying asks could you recommend some easy English movies well

I would always suggest watching things with subtitles so anything really so

there isn't anything that's easy or hard just try to watch anything an even

better idea would be to watch something that you haven't interested so something

that you are interested in just an idea just a suggestion hello - whether Luke

nice to see you here roaster says Mr Duncan has the storm

arrived in your city well it is actually on the way so at the moment we have two

tropical storms heading this way we have storm durian and also storm

Gabriel so we actually have two storms however I think that both of the storms

are quite weak so they're not strong storms I think they're they're quite

weak now so I don't think they will be doing much damage hello Helen Oh mr.

Duncan I have you ever visited Brazil I've never been to Brazil ever in my

life I haven't I met very interested in Brazil but I've never been there mr.

Duncan I like to listen to your program and I also get to learn original English

from you thank you very much hello to plan cash plan cash nice to see

you here today watching in India where it would appear that we have people

watching all all around the world as I stand here

alone on my roof waiting to be blown away

hello also to Anna hello Anna yes you have to click the bell underneath

underneath the video so there is a way of activating the notifications so you

will be notified when there are new lessons and new live streams on my

channel so these are two important things first of all I would recommend

that you subscribe to my youtube channel also I would suggest that you activate

the notifications because it is the notifications that tell you when things

are happening on my channel so that is my advice

hello to Pavel the International group is here again look so many countries are

here you are not joking I think there must be around about 20 countries

watching at the moment so thank you very much thank you very much for joining me

wherever you are in the world whistle says your live streams are very

helpful mr. Duncan please keep it up keep up the great work

thank you I will try my best I always try to do my best I always try to give

you everything you want of course sometimes I can't do everything

sometimes I can only do a little so it really depends on how much time I have

so if I have a lot of time I will always try to give my time to you always ali

reza says mr. duncan may I ask you a political question a political question

yeah yes I have a feeling I have a feeling I know what this is about I

think I know what this is all about I think so how do you think or what do you

think what do you think about brexit and the new position that Boris Johnson has

taken well lots of things have been happening here in the UK over the past

24 hours so at the moment Parliament the group that controls the whole country

has been shut down which is very unusual it doesn't always happen in fact it

rarely happens and at the moment they are all doing nothing at the moment so

the government and Parliament has actually closed it has been suspended it

has been halted and of course we are supposed to be leaving Europe on the

31st of October which also happens to be the anniversary of my YouTube channel

can you believe it so not only is it grexit day on October the 31st it is

also the anniversary of my YouTube channel isn't that strange so my own

personal opinions well I don't think I want to give too much away because I'm

not here really to talk about my own politics

because I don't think that's fair really hello also - Han Liu however if mr.

Steve was here if Steve was here right now I can tell you that he would give

you his opinion he would tell you exactly what he feels exactly what he

feels when a loop says last week's classes were suspended due to the heavy

rain really so your classes guadeloupe were suspended they were stopped they

were suspended if you suspend something it means you halt something you stopped

something quite often temporarily so if you hoped it means you

stop but quite often for just a short time or temporarily if you do something

temporarily it means you do it for a short time so maybe you stop you do

something and then you start again you do it temporarily

hello also tuna doin tear fat hello to you how to speak English better

there are many easy solutions to speaking English better one of them is

get used to listening to English improve your listening try to remember some new

words every day not too many you don't have to learn

hundreds of words every day so don't try to rush don't push yourself too hard

Helena says mr. Duncan what do you recommend for us as a way of improving

English well as I just said listen to as much English create an English

environment around you imagine living inside a little bubble and inside that

bubble everything is English so maybe the the language you hear is

English maybe the things you see written down

are English so try to create an environment for yourself where you can

hear English being spoken or used all the time and there are many ways to do

that nowadays one of the reasons is because of the Internet I mean look I

can stand here on my roof and I can talk to you live and also you can have

captions as well live it's incredible I love it I love it a lot

Meeker asks do you still have a cassette recorder oh I see I know why you've

asked that you've asked that because of my shirt

so this shirt represents retro a retro image so

something that used to exist or something that people used to use but

maybe nowadays it isn't used or maybe people don't use it anymore so we talked

about retro as being something that is from the past something that is maybe

old fashioned something that is classic so something that existed before but

maybe doesn't exist very much now so you might talk about retro as being

something that is looking back back into the quest yes I do have a cassette

recorder however I think it's broken I haven't used it for a very long time but

these are cassettes tapes many years ago we used to play our music on these where

the loop says I miss the vocabulary that mr. Steve uses to teachers well Steve

normally joins me on Sunday so last Sunday

did you see Steve last Sunday Steve last Sunday he was shooting the pigeons did

you see him not really he wasn't really shooting the pigeons

but he was getting angry because the pigeons were spoiling his new paintwork

so that's the reason why how long will have you been studying English is

this phrase correct how long how long have you how long have you been studying

English or you can say for how long for how long for how long have you been

studying English how long have you been studying English so how long you are

asking what the length of time is so you are making making an inquiry you are

asking how long something has been going on for of

course when we talk about how long we are also talking about length as well so

how long can be measurement of length or measurement of time how long how long is

a piece of string how long is your hair

sorry I was thinking of something very rude then how long have you been

learning English for how long have you been teaching on YouTube I have been

teaching on YouTube for nearly 13 years mmm hello Rosa nice to see you here

hello also the Belarusian Belarus er is here good nice to see you I hope your

mother is feeling okay and also best wishes to your father

I never say hello to your dad so best wishes to your both of your parents

hello also to muna hello muna hi mr. Duncan I like reading books but

my English is poor how can I improve my reading skill well maybe you need to do

it more often so if there is something that you have a weakness in something

that you have problems with don't do it less do it more do it more so if you

want to improve your reading you will need to do it more often you will need

to find some time to do it so don't try to rush things don't try to do it too

quickly because then you will get bored with it so try to save a little bit of

time every day where you can sit down and you can read and relax at the same

time and I always find that studying should always be done when you are

relaxed never rush your studying never try to do it too quickly

is what will happen is you will find it very difficult

you will become tired and then after a while you won't want to do it anymore

you will think I don't want to learn English anymore it's too hard but maybe

you are pushing yourself too hard maybe you are making it too difficult for

yourself hello - Helena thank you for your tips mr. Duncan they are precious

for us you are welcome Helena the son the son has disappeared

where has the son gone oh there it is it's a very strange day to day because

the clouds are moving very fast so because it's windy the clouds are moving

really fast so that's the reason why it keeps going dark and then it becomes

light and then it goes dark and then it becomes light because the clouds are

going by very quickly above my head hello Anna hello Louis again mr. Duncan

do you know that the Henry I think that might be is that is there something else

to your message Lewis says mr. Duncan do you know that the Henry that's it

please send me the rest of your message Louis pal Meera says I have the day off

today oh very nice very nice so you can spend your time with me relax that's the

way to do it that's what I always say you are wearing red today mr. Duncan

there is no reason why I'm wearing red I'm wearing my red hat and my red shirt

but to be honest with you there's no reason for it nothing special there

isn't a reason why I'm wearing red I just put these things on today because I

thought they look nice because they match they go together

Belarusian thank you for your greetings you are adorable thank you very much

roasts rose bush hello rose bush by the way I love your name I think your name

is brilliant rose bush like like the plant you see because in your garden you

might see a rose bush I like it a Leary's I used to listen to cassettes

when I was a child cassettes are cool and maybe one day they will come back

into fashion so maybe one day you will see people listening to music on

cassettes tapes so you never know you might you might suddenly see people

listening to their music on tape like this pal Mira today is Wednesdays so I

was expecting to find a new English lesson but it is a live stream is this

better now I was going to put her full English lesson on but unfortunately

yesterday I had so many problems trying to record my new lesson I won't tell you

why but let's just say there was a lot of noise it was so noisy here yesterday

everyone was making noise and some of the noises were really loud so sadly I

wanted to record a new life a new recorded lesson my new full English

lesson however it was just impossible yesterday so instead I thought hmmm why

don't I go on the roof and do a live stream instead and that's what I'm doing

now Mika says I used to use cassette tapes to copy music from vinyl records

yes I think that's a good idea and of course vinyl vinyl records are

actually coming back so here in the UK many people are buying

their music on record instead of downloading it on the Internet

so yes that's amazing isn't it how can I study a new vocabulary do you prefer

using pen and paper or only repeating well I would say do both because I think

writing is a great thing to do not typing so please don't get confused when

I talk about writing I'm actually talking about holding a pen and writing

because it's a great way of concentrating the mind so when you write

something by hand your your brain is working in a very different way because

you are concentrating more on what you are writing

so if you write English words down on a piece of paper it will actually go into

your brain more clearly it does work honestly and this is when I was young

when I was a child now you might not realize this and this is something very

personal you know that I'm very open with you I don't hide anything when I

was a child I had a great deal of difficulty reading I really did I was

terrible at reading I had a lot of problems reading and I couldn't read and

one of the slight problems I had was was seeing the words on the paper so when I

was about 7 I I actually went for extra classes to learn to read can you believe

it so the strange thing about that is they

used to give me some exercises to do which is where I used to write words

down to help me remember them and also it would help me to recognize them so

what I used to do I used to write things down I used to find a book or something

I was interested in and then I would write the words down myself by hand so I

would write things down and over time I found that all of the things that I

wrote down stayed in my brain and that's it so

that's one of the ways I learnt English one of the ways I improved my English

because when I was a child I had difficulty reading and not joking

greetings from the Western Sahara my dear teacher oh my god you look amazing

today thank you Khyber that's very kind of you to say I'm not

sure if I look amazing but thank you very much

I think the scenery behind me looks amazing it's a beautiful day here even

though it's very windy because we have two tropical storms coming towards the

UK right now as I speak to you hello also two new Shar hello your outlook

your view is very beautiful thank you very much that's very kind of you I

can't see you what's the problem I don't know I'm not sure what the

problem is I don't know what the problem is maybe you have your laptop closed I

don't know yes Ana Rita also has noticed that vinyl records are coming back into

fashion yes it's very strange how some things

over time and this is something I've noticed over the many many years that

I've been alive on this planet I've noticed over the years that sometimes

things will fade away and then suddenly they will come back so they will lose

their popularity and then later they will come back sorry about my voice

excuse me my voice is going very strange I'm starting to sound like Theresa May

do you remember that time Theresa May lost her voice Lewis says Mr Duncan did

you know that the mother of the Portuguese Prince Henry the Navigator

was the chess of Lancaster Filipa he started the

discoveries that occurred along the African coast I didn't know that I

didn't I knew there was some connection I knew that there was a connection but I

didn't know that so thank you very much for that information and the great thing

about the live chat is if you write something down it will always be there

so the live chat doesn't disappear it will be there forever next to my video

pal Meera says mr. Duncan you look very stylish in those red colours and the

watch is matching very well oh thank you very much yes I'm wearing my watch so I

can watch the time you see because I have to make sure that I don't go on too

long I don't want to bore you you see you see sometimes if I stay here too

long you might get bored you might think mr. Duncan why are you still here I have

other things to do please go away ESMA says greetings from

Pakistan hello to you in Karachi nice to see you here today your live streams are

my best treat I'm always expecting your live streams anxiously so if you wait

for something anxiously it means you are quite excited so sometimes and this is

what I've noticed from my own experience sometimes the feeling of excitement can

be very similar to the feeling of anxiety so I think sometimes you get a

strange feeling in your stomach and I can't express the feeling but sometimes

it feels like excitement and anxiety I think one of the best words to use is

apprehension hi prehension a little bit of apprehension maybe so perhaps perhaps

you are excited that my live stream might be on but then again you might be

a little worried because you think maybe it won't be so you might feel a little

anxious or a little apprehensive hello - Helena mr. Duncan what do you think

about learning English through the word repetition system yes I think repetition

is a very useful part of learning it isn't everything

so you can't learn English by simply repeating things however repetition

repeating things is part of learning English it is part of the process so I

would never say you will never hear me say that repetition is a waste of time

never because it isn't so repeating things and as I said earlier writing

things down by hand so don't use a computer use a pen use a piece of paper

and when you do that you are actually making your brain work in a different

way and that's why it's much easier to get things to stay in your head if you

write things down because you concentrate in a very different way you

are using parts of your brain that you don't normally use so don't just try to

remember words don't be afraid to repeat repeat repeat save the things again and

again even though sometimes it's a bit of a pain hello to Nessie here again I

can see your picture but not the live video I don't know maybe there is

something wrong with your computer I'm not sure maajid says at English class it

is really hard to participate during the lecture because I feel very timid and

maybe because I'm not good at speaking plus I'm making comparisons between

myself and the other good students well Majeed can I just say that your

problem is not unusual a lot of people do feel self-conscious

when they are learning something new and it doesn't matter what it is it can be

anything maybe you are learning to sing la la la la la oh look oh but maybe you

think your singing is terrible maybe you think that the friend who is next to you

singing maybe you think that they sing better than you but perhaps your singing

is better than theirs so quite often we we underestimate we underestimate we we

we fail to realize that everything we are doing is probably better than we

think so quite often you will underestimate you will feel that the

thing you are doing is not as good as it could be but the opposite might be real

the opposite might be true in fact you might be the best person in the class

and you don't even realize it so I think your own attitude to yourself and your

attitude to your own level of learning is very important it is something that

you have to get used to thinking think positively about what you're doing don't

don't talk yourself down don't say oh he's English is better than mine her

English is clearer than mine don't think that because quite often

you will be wrong you will be wrong about your own feelings towards how well

you are doing trust me it happens to me sometimes sometimes I think that I'm

rubbish sometimes I think that I am rubbish at doing this some nights I lie

in bed and I think I am terrible I'm no good at this other people are much

better than me on YouTube they they are much better English teachers they are

better looking they have better clothes they are sexy they are popular and and

so I do the same thing sometimes I feel very negatively towards the thing that I

do so it's normal it is normal for human beings to do this and that includes me

and also you it is a completely normal thing mr. Duncan you never bore me thank

you Anna thank you Anna I'm pleased to hear that you you feel

excited Palmira says I threw away all my son's cassettes

Palmyra I think you are going to get into trouble later one day your son will

be looking for his cassettes and he'll say ma'am mom have you seen my cassettes

I can't find them I had them but now I can't find them

where are they and you will have to say son I have some bad news

unfortunately I threw them away

álvarez a we all like something from the pest something that reminds us of the

pests yes I think that's true yes you are right Ally we like something from

the pest maybe something that we used to play with as a child cassettes marbles

coins and so on yes there is a lovely feeling of nostalgia and I think I'm a

very nostalgic person I always remember things from the past and the strange

thing is quite often it's always small things it's very small things that you

remember from your pest not big things but small things one of my most vivid

memories from my childhood was when I fell over I fell over and I was eating

an ice cream and I fell over and and that I dropped my ice cream and I was so

upset and I was crying and crying and crying getting really upset over my poor

ice cream because I dropped it on the floor and I can still remember it very

clearly to this day isn't it strange so these very small moments of time these

very small moments of time for some reason and I don't know why they stay in

your brain so yes I do I have lots of small memories of my childhood small

moments of time some of them are good and some of them not so good

Rosa nice outfit mr. Duncan you look so cute I really like the red cap and the

red t-shirt thank you very much that's very kind of you to say thanks a lot how

lovely I'm getting some lovely compliments for my clothes today

and yet this clothing is very simple it's just a simple t-shirt and a simple

hat some people might say the person wearing them is simple yeah

yes mistakes are normal we all make mistakes when we are learning we all

make them I make them you make them it is just a normal part of the process of

learning hello grace nice to see you here you are the best teacher Thank You

grace that's very kind of you but a but even I have doubts so sometimes I go

through periods of doubt and maybe perhaps maybe I am a person maybe I am a

person who has a lot of self-doubt so I go through phases

where I feel very doubtful about the things I do I feel as if maybe I'm not

doing a very good job or maybe I think that everyone else is better

so even I go through periods of doubt even I go through periods of self-doubt

so I think it is very normal Jeff says oh yes today is September

eleventh nine eleven so if you are living in the USA of course that day is

very famous or should I say infamous so yes then the

11th of September is a very infamous day and a very sad anniversary thank you

Jeff for joining us and thanks for reminding me

because I'd forgotten all about that isn't it strange I'd actually forgotten

all about it palmyra many people now are digital

people oh I see Palmyra says her son is now completely digital so everything

they have is probably on their phone so I think yes it's very common for young

people so if you are if you are a young person not me I'm not young but if you

are a young person nowadays you will have most of your music on your mobile

phone or maybe on your tablet device or perhaps on your laptop so yes by the way

are you going to buy the new iPhone did you see it yesterday the new iPhone it

has an extra camera wow that's never been done before the camera that I use

the phone that I use is an old phone I have my my iPhone 6s would you like to

see it so this is the phone that I'm using at the moment to watch the

livestream there it is so there it is my little iPhone 6s it is an old phone but

it is so good it is a brilliant phone it really is

great so I love this phone it has a good camera and of course it is also very

good for watching the livestream because I can look at your messages as they come

through so no I don't have a new phone and I won't be buying the iPhone 11 no I

won't I refuse they are too expensive it's very

expensive so no I will be keeping my old iPhone even though it's about four years

old I will keep it hello to George it looks as if the wind is coming behind

you yes can you see the wind is definitely blowing strong you can see

the trees are all blowing behind me so yes you are right it is a windy day

Hannah hi Sam it says mr. Duncan you are doing a good job I appreciate your

efforts thank you very much that's very kind of you George

and also Hassan as well says hello thank you for your thank you for your

appreciation isn't that nice new shower mr. Duncan what are your

suggestions for solving the problem of Plateau in English well the problem with

plateau plateau generally means leveling out so as you get used to using English

you will level out you will be on one level and then you stay there but I

personally don't think it's a problem because sometimes and this is another

thing that I like to talk about learning you can sometimes learn without

realizing it I think that's the most amazing part of learning things so what

one of my favorite parts of learning things is doing it without realizing so

quite often you can learn new things without even knowing

that you are learning them so I think sometimes you might feel as if your

level is not improving however over time your level might be actually improving

slowly you might not even realize it you might not even be aware of it my

coworkers are always telling me that I am a very good English person I am very

good at speaking English but when i chat with you and my classmates from this

channel I realize I'm not that is wrong you are wrong Guadalupe that is exactly

the thing I've just been talking about sometimes you can you can become too

obsessed with other people you can become too obsessed with what other

people are doing you always think oh everyone else is

better than me everyone else is doing better than I am and that happens to me

as well so sometimes I think the same thing so now and again it is a good idea

to actually stop and remind yourself how good you are at doing things today is

teachers day in Argentina so happy teachers day mr. Duncan oh is it really

I didn't know that thank you very much teachers day is being celebrated today

in Argentina Luis asks mr. Duncan do you like the song by John Lennon called

imagine I do it's a beautiful song great lyrics very deep very meaningful and yes

I think it's a great song maybe one of the best songs ever written I think I

think it will be on the top 10 list the top 10 list of the best songs ever

written I think imagination will be on there I

think so definitely

Belarusian says I use a Motorola phone I remember when I was in China

everyone had Motorola phones they were really popular in China so whenever I

saw people with their phones quite often they were Motorola phones so I think in

Asia certainly during the time that I was in China a lot of people used

Motorola phones they were very popular so yes I think you're right

Belarusian a are good phones and I think they are still popular now hello pal

Mira mr. Duncan do you plan to apps you do you plan to obtain the electric

bicycle it is very trendy these days yes I was thinking about it because if you

remember mr. Steve and I went for a little holiday on my birthday and we

actually rode around some beautiful country lanes on electric bicycles and I

must be honest I absolutely loved it I can't remember them that I can't

remember the last time I felt so so free and excited about anything and mr. Steve

said the same thing so we loved it we really did Musha thanks a lot for your

amazing words you are in your are welcome you are very welcome if I seem

very distracted by the way there are trees in front of me blowing all over

the place so as I look at you I can also see trees doing this trees are

going everywhere so please excuse me if I seem a little bit distracted

Pal Mira says I use an old small nokia phone which I only use to catch the

Wi-Fi and also take pictures it is amazing how these days the cameras that

are inside mobile phones or smartphones are as good as professional cameras so

I'm always very impressed by the the standard and by the quality and that's

the reason why I have an iPhone so my iPhone isn't a new iPhone it's an old

one it's a iPhone 6s so that is around four years four years old six yeah about

four years maybe five years old so the iPhone 6s is the phone that I use but I

must be honest I am very impressed by the quality of the camera inside the

phone I love it in fact I use a lot of the footage

allotted the video footage a lot of the things that I film and show to you are

actually filmed on my small iPhone and even I can't believe how good the

quality is so I am very impressed and for me the quality of a camera is very

important because this is what I do for a living this technically is my job

I can hear voices in the distance Kathy says electric bicycles are very common

in Japan I imagine they are and this is something again I remember from my time

in China many people had electric bicycles Messier

how many laptops do you use on your live stream I don't use any laptops so

everything you are seeing now is actually being controlled underneath me

in my studio so all of this equipment is connected to the computer which is in my

studio a computer by the way that you helped to buy yes remember that remember

when my computer died and I needed to get a new one and some of you helped me

to get a new one so the computer that I'm using at the moment in my studio to

bring this to you was actually partly paid for by you and also me and mr.

Steve so we all shared the responsibility and I will be forever

grateful for that Maria I love the rustle of the leaves I can hear behind

you yes the leaves are really rustling

can you hear them

in fact there are many things going on here at the moment the leaves are

blowing and also there is a plane flying over my head going round and round and

round and round best now Jeff says I love your lessons thank you very much I

hope they are not too boring as I said earlier sometimes I worry sometimes I'm

lying in bed I'm awake I can't get to sleep and the only thing on my mind is

am I good enough am I good enough are my English lessons good enough are my

livestreams good enough are they good enough for my viewers do

my students like them so yes so I have some of my equipment on the roof at the

moment I have some of my equipment on the roof but most of my equipment is

still in the studio but I have to use a lot of technology to do this so right

now as I stand here on the roof you are watching me indefinite in

high-definition it's digital isn't technology amazing

good morning mr. Duncan I have always watched your videos Thank You ed to

Saleh Eddie Souls thank you very much of course autumn is on the way when autumn

when will autumn start in Much Wenlock asks khyber Much Wenlock will have

autumn now because autumn has already started however at the moment it's it is

still early autumn so autumn hasn't arrived properly we are still waiting

excuse me

one of the problems with standing on the roof and talking for a very long time is

that your throat becomes dry you are a funny guy thank you very much Jeff asks

did you record the puddle dance on your iPhone yes I did yes I did

so the puddle dance that I might show on Sunday by the way I might show you the

pebble dance on Sunday because I will be with you on Saturday and Sunday

live every weekend so yes I did record the puddle dance on my iPhone you are

right but many of the things that I show on my live streams especially when they

are recorded they are often filmed on my iPhone so I

do like the iPhone I must be honest with you however I refuse to get a new one

because the one I have is brilliant so no I will not be buying an iPhone 11 I

will stick with my iPhone 6s my old phone Kaiba says is the weather cold no

it isn't it is absolutely boiling I'm really hot at the moment so I'm standing

here and you can see that the CERN is blasting on my face and even the wind is

warm so all of the wind that's coming in at the moment has all come from the

Atlantic so it's all coming across from the Atlantic so the air is warm air so

all of the wind is bringing the warm air with it can you talk about your

personalities personalities you mean my personalities I only have one as far as

I know maybe you mean famous people so maybe you mean famous people famous

British people or people who are famous in the

UK so personality can be your own behavior but also it can mean a person

who is famous a person who is notable so yes

personality there are many famous people here in the UK I'm not one of them by

the way I'm not a famous person definitely not whether Luke I think the

success of your channel is that you are very close to us you are really

interested in our development and not only in your popularity that is not the

usual stuff in youtubers I think that is true so I I'm not I suppose I'm not

desperate I'm not desperate so you will see a lot of people on YouTube who are

very desperate to get subscribers and very desperate to get viewers and they

will often do things to try and get attention so Thank You Greville OOP

that's very kind of you mr. Duncan says fantastic Liz

hello fantastic Liz I like your name by the way how are you today I'm okay thank

you very much not too bad for those who are wondering I am now standing on the

roof of my house I'm actually above I'm above the studio at the moment I'm just

adjusting my microphone excuse me so yes that is where I am at the moment

I'm standing on the roof because we have two tropical storms heading this way we

have storm durian and storm Gabriele both of them coming towards the UK what

was your first iPhone my first iPhone is the one I have now

so my first iPhone was the iPhone success which is the one I have now

before that I had a Samsung so before my iPhone success I act

we owned and I Sam sung five what was it I can't remember what it was now s five

I think it was it was a Samsung Galaxy s5 which I still use by the way I still

use it sometimes to watch videos because the screen is slightly larger I think

that's the only thing I don't like about my iPhone success the only thing I don't

like about it is that the screen is a little small so I'm a little

disappointed by the size of the screen I think it's a little too small but

everything else is great I love it I love my old iPhone mr. Duncan your

weather and the sound of the trees and the sound of the shape of the houses

behind you all these have been made classic views

like a classical movie it's really amazing thank you very much yes this is

this is reality when we talk about reality sometimes reality is not real

especially if you watch a lot of television however this is reality this

is reality this is this is the world

peaceful serene and not too bad

hello to Kay hello Kay I like your name by the way

it's very simple and to the point mr. Duncan are you not cold it is very windy

out there I noticed that the British people often wear t-shirts and Shores

even though the weather is quite chilly you will see that sometimes especially

especially with macho men so some men who are very macho and strong not me by

the way they will often walk around in t-shirts and shorts even when the

weather is cold even when it's really cold they will still walk around they

will still walk around in their shorts and t-shirt

tomorrow I will start a new school year says Maria oh I see so I am meeting my

old and new students ah so you will have a new class to teach very interesting I

think between you and me from my own experience of teaching I always think

it's really exciting when you meet a new class for the first time because you can

get to know them you can ask them lots of questions and quite often they will

ask you lots of questions as well so yes there is something very exciting about

meeting your class for the first time when you first walk into the classroom

and you have all these new smiling faces waiting to be taught it is a good

feeling it is I love it Belarus yeah hello teacher it feels like

it feels so good being here watching you talking to us

thank you very much that's very kind of you even though I keep losing my voice I

keep losing my voice Khyber asks why don't you buy an iPad air 2 because

they're too expensive Apple products are very expensive and I think they are too

expensive hello Rosa are you a teacher Maria asks Rosa necie oh you are looking

good today a lot of people have mentioned this a lot of people have said

that they like my look today I don't know why because I'm not really doing

anything special I'm just wearing my hat and my t-shirt but thank you anyway for

your compliments it's very nice of you to say Matthew is here I am NOT I have

not been here for a long time matheus yes I recognize your name Mateus

I remember you you used to be a viewer on my live streams when I first started

doing them in 2016 I started doing my live stream

glad a loop is going to work now I have to go now I am going to watch the

recorded video goodbye everybody Thank You Greta loop it's always good to

see you even if you stay here for a short time or a long time you can always

watch the live stream again later on mr. steve is not here because he is working

at the moment right now steve is out there he's out there somewhere

driving around doing his job so steve is not here at the moment

he isn't thank you also to Maria who is an English teacher and this is something

that I've noticed over the years that I do get a lot of people who teach English

or teach generally watching my videos so I don't mind you you can actually you

can actually oh sorry something just caught my eye then on the screen you can

actually do it yes mr. Duncan you used a word I could not understand you said a

lot of people are very desperate desperate a person who is desperate so

if you are desperate it means you really want something and you will do anything

to get it so a person who is desperate desperate a

person who needs something badly or a person who is in a situation where they

need things they are in a desperate situation

they are desperate so an adjective or of course a noun as well so the feeling of

being desperate so you are desperate

hello also to Trang Lee hello Trang Lee nice to see you here today I have been

on now for one hour and 15 minutes thank you very much for joining me today

mário asks what does it mean I smell a rat here if you smell a rat it means you

are suspicious of something you feel that something is not right you think

that maybe something is happening that is not good you think maybe a person is

being deceptive or maybe they are deceiving you you smell a rat you feel

that something is not right maybe you feel that a person is being dishonest or

maybe you think that a situation is not as it seems so there so if you smell a

rat it means you feel that there is something wrong you are a little

suspicious of what is happening you feel that things are not as they seem

desperate to be desperate to be desperate for attention a lot of people

on YouTube are very desperate for attention they want people to watch them

look at me look at me please give me attention I am on YouTube I want your

attention hello VIN Josh hello mr. Duncan I'm VIN Josh from Pakistan and I

always watch your videos I like to download them and listen to them in my

car that's very interesting I'm not sure if I agree with you

downloading my lessons but I'm glad that they are useful to you that's all I'm

saying I'm very pleased to hear that they are useful even though you are

downloading them I want to be a teacher like you mr. Duncan Thank You Cesar

well anyone if you want to be a teacher if you

have that burning ambition inside the feeling the urge the thing you want to

do is your burning ambition the thing that is inside it's almost like a fire

burning inside you it is your burning ambition it is your desire to do

something maybe you want to to have a certain occupation you want to do

something you want you want to have a certain vocation in your life you want

to do something I have a burning ambition

hello also to nork nor Cali Lee or nor Khalil nice to see you here as well

hello mr. Duncan we do we have a live stream today I don't know about that

Rams Rams and Noura Rams a new era yes there is a live

stream happening right now you are watching it live at five minutes to

three o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon there is no full English lesson today

because I tried to record it but yesterday it was so noisy here there was

all sorts of noises taking place it was driving me crazy so today I am on the

roof instead doing a live stream your live streams look like conversations

among friends and I really appreciate that

thank you Anna well that's exactly what I think as well I also think that this

is like a group of friends meeting maybe you are we are meeting at the local bar

or the local restaurant or the local community center so this is like a big

community our big English community the classroom is the world isn't that great

hello mr. Duncan can you give us your opinion on what is happening in the UK

can you tell us what is happening in the UK well at the moment

Parliament has been suspended so at the moment the government is not doing

anything they are doing nothing Parliament has been suspended so nothing

is happening and bricks it the subject that we have been talking about here in

the UK for the past three and a half years I can't believe it for the past

three and a half years we have been talking about nothing but brexit so it

was supposed to happen on the 29th of March but then everyone changed their

mind they thought yes we can't agree we can't come to win agreement mmm

so let's postpone it and have it on the 31st of October which is just about five

weeks six weeks so six weeks before we leave the European Union or at least we

we might you might but the situation here is very confusing

it has divided a lot of people some families have almost split up because of

bricks it's so a lot of people are actually falling out they are having

disagreements over brexit so it has caused a lot of problems here in the UK

I'm not going to pretend that it hasn't caused problems because it has it really

really has and I'm waiting now for someone to ask mr. Duncan what did you

vote for did you vote to leave or to remain what do you think mm-hmm what do

you think what kind of car do you have I don't have a car I don't drive a car I

don't have a car I've never driven a car I've never taken my driving test however

I used to ride a motorbike

I used to ride a motorbike many years ago hello also - Oh mr. Steve has a car

though mr. Steve drives a car he has a Mercedes a Mercedes so Steve drives a

Merc hello Maria you're welcome Rho sir thank you very

much for that I love it when people leave nice messages to each other it's

very nice a lot of people seem to download my lessons even new shah who

has a folder I have a special folder in my computer with all of your lessons and

it says mr. duncan belarus ear says please don't stop don't stop doing your

full english lessons i learn so much from them well i want to carry on making

them but there are two problems with my full english lessons one is that YouTube

is not notifying anyone so when there is a new lesson YouTube is not telling my

viewers which is a bit of a pain really

and also sometimes it takes a lot of time as well to make a full English

lesson so yesterday I tried to to film my full English lesson but around here

it was so noisy there was all sorts of noise going on and it was so noisy even

in my studio I could hear the noise so it was very noisy lots of people having

things done in their garden Ramsey Nouah says thank you mr. Duncan thank you for

reading my lesson reading my message this is the first time that I've joined

you on the livestream Ramazan you are welcome and it's great

to have you here I wish I could give you some applause

but sadly I don't have them here so we will pretend to have some applause

so welcome ramp Ramsey Nouah or Ramzan hora welcome to my livestream hello -

why can't I comment route route ungli asks why can't I comment well I can see

your comments now so I think you can comment

welcome ali reza what did you vote for i think that you are a Democrat oh I see

you think that I'm a Democrat well we don't really have Democrats here in this

country we have we have the right which is conservative and then we have the

left which is Labour and then we have small groups of people such as the

Liberal Democrats so there is a liberal group however the group is very small

very small can you show mr. Steve's car on your

live stream well I can't do it at the moment because I have no no way of doing

it but yes thank you very much mr. Steve's car has appeared a couple of

times in my videos one of Steve's first cars I remember when I met Steve 30

years ago when I first met Steve Steve was driving

a Renault a French car so 30 years ago Steve was actually driving a Renault

Renault a French brand of car but over the years Steve has driven many

different cars he's also had a Mondeo Ford Mondeo also he also had an Audi as

well howdy but now he has a Mercedes mr. Duncan at the moment the Parliament has

the upper hand haven't they or don't they yes they do

yes at the moment Parliament has forced brexit into a corner so that is the

reason why Parliament has been suspended or one of the reasons the other reason

of course is because coming up soon there will be what they call party

conferences where each group from each political party will meet together so

there are two reasons why why the Parliament has been suspended one of the

the main reasons is because of brexit but the other reason is because there

are some party conferences so there will be a Conservative Party conference a

Labour Party conference a Liberal Democrat Party conference so they will

all happen over the next few weeks so this is a very busy period of time even

though Parliament has being suspended it is a crazy time I think in my life I

have never known a period of such chaos as as what has happened over the past

three and a half years it's been a bit crazy to be honest

why doesn't YouTube accept your full English lessons well I'm not sure if

they don't accept them but they don't tell people about them and this is a

problem I've had for many years it seems very difficult for me to to actually get

my subscribers to see my videos and that also includes my live streams as well

it's very hard to get people to see them however you are here today and you are

joining me live so if you are here I am very pleased to see you

very pleased Marcia hello Marcia I wish I could understand

every native speaker as easily as I understand you your lessons are always

interesting I can learn a lot without studying well that is the reason why I'm

here semi my whole plan in fact my original plan 13 years ago when I first

started making videos on YouTube my first plan was to involve everyone so I

wanted my English lessons to be available to everyone and that includes

you as well I think the environment is too polluted now mr. Duncan says dang

hello Dan where are you watching are you in Vietnam I think you may be in Vietnam

I think so can you see the Sun has actually moved when I started doing the

livestream today it was over there but now the Sun is over there it has moved

during the past 90 minutes I've been on for 90 minutes standing here talking to

you hello what about article 13 Argosy ax or Garcia asks what about article 13

well that is something that may or may not affect me in the future but at the

moment I don't think I don't think article 13 is affecting me right now but

who knows maybe in the future it will it will it could be your subscriber

settings well my my settings are always open so anyone can see my channel anyone

can watch my videos I don't have any restrictions on my on my videos there is

there are no restrictions so anyone anywhere in the world can watch my

videos I have no restrictions the only place where there is a restriction is

China because they block YouTube so they have blocked YouTube for many years

Naomi hello you improve my day it's teachers day

Argentina yes a big hello to all the teachers watching in Argentina and also

around the world Maria says I always receive notifications of your lessons

and live streams also in the email yes that is very important so if you want to

follow my lessons if you want to follow my live streams I suggest that you

subscribe to my channel and that means that for some of you you will have to

create a YouTube profile so what you do is you create your own account you

create a YouTube account with your name and email and then you can subscribe to

my channel and also receive notifications you will be told

whenever I'm live or whenever I post a new video you will always find out

fantastic Liz you have a nice British British accent thank you very much for

that you have a nice British accent I'm very pleased to hear that you like my

accent yes I think a lot of people who follow me on youtube have not activated

their notifications so they will not be told when there is a new lesson or a new

livestream however I will tell you now that there will be a live stream this

weekend Saturday 12:00 midday 12 p.m. on Saturday UK time and on Sunday 2 p.m. UK

time so I will be with you on Saturday and Sunday every week I am with you so

every weekend you will see me on YouTube on Saturday and Sunday I will be going

soon because I've been here for a very long time hello - very hello very very

Ora hello mr. Duncan from Thailand a big

hello to Thailand I have a feeling it might be warm there I think so

mr. Duncan get to see could you explain the grammar of this sentence if you get

to see something it means you have the chance to see it so if you get to see it

means you have the chance so in that sense the word get means to have a

chance you receive the chance you get the chance so to have the opportunity so

that's another way of expressing it you can say I hope I get the chance to visit

England I hope I have the opportunity to visit England so both of those sentences

are the same Jeff says we love you live on YouTube I think some people prefer my

recorded lessons whilst some people enjoy watching my live streams so there

does appear to be two different types of viewer so you have people who like

watching my recorded lessons and people who enjoy watching my live streams

excuse me

I am suffering from a sore throat my throat is a little bit dry because I've

been talking for so long there you are I'm back now thank you very much for

your lovely company today what are you doing to protect the environment what am

i doing well first of all I don't have a car

so that's a pretty big that's a pretty big thing to help the environment with I

don't have a car I never drive a car I've never driven a car I often walk to

town so I do a lot of walking I would love to have a bicycle so that's the

next thing I'm thinking of getting a bicycle not sure yet but I'm thinking

about it so yes Ali says to get to see means to have the chance to see you get

to see something you get to do something so get in that in that sense it is

chance you get to see it I get to do it I get to any activity you can get to get

to do it to get to see it you could also get to a place as well

so that means traveling the word get has many meanings it really does so get can

mean travel you get from one place to another get can also mean opportunity

you get the chance you get the opportunity you get to see something I

followed your lessons for about half a year and I'm really lucky to find some

way to join first oh if this is your first time returned ree-ree tangley

where are you watching at the moment I finally get to know that it is 2 p.m.

and in China it is 9 p.m. oh I see so Ryu tangley you are actually

watching in China congratulations well done congratulations can I say well done

because you have got past the Great Firewall of China so it's nice to see

you here so yes 2 p.m. every Sunday and 12 p.m.

just after lunchtime every Saturday so yes I'm here every week every weekend

and I used to live in China by the way I spent many years living in China working

in China are you ok mr. Duncan a cup of tea with some honey Mike soothe your

might soothe your sore throat well I have been talking for a hundred minutes

I've been talking for 100 minutes I have been talking so that might be the reason

why my throat is very dry don't worry I'm not ill I haven't got a cold I think

it's just because I've been using my voice for a very long time I think so

hello also - Mario how is mr. Steve doing Thank You Mario isn't that nice

mr. Steve is ok he is out there at the moment out there somewhere doing his

work so he's not here at the moment and that's the reason why he isn't here

today but he might be here on Sunday he might be here on Sunday and he's

promised that he won't shoot any pigeons because a few people were very concerned

they thought mr. Steve was going to start shooting pigeons can I just say

now he isn't I think he was joking

so yes I think maybe my throat will be okay maybe I just need to rest my throat

rest my voice after I have finished how much to get in is a common phrase that

we use at the doors of museums yes how much to get in how much does it cost to

enter so maybe what is the charge so what you are actually asking is what is

the charge for entrance what is the entrance charge so you might

say how much to get in how much to get in what is the cost of entering how much

to get in John White hello John White's what is the meaning of the word rhetoric

well rhetoric is something that is used a lot especially in politics it is where

you say something we're with no answer you say something

that has no answer or no outcome rhetoric quite often we will ask a

question that needs no answer so you might ask a question maybe to yourself

but it doesn't need an answer you don't actually want an answer from someone so

we call that a rhetorical question because the answer isn't required there

is no answer needed so you ask something but there is no need to answer so quite

often rhetoric is something that is said that has no meaning or no result quite

often you will hear politicians being accused of using rhetoric especially

recently here in the UK a lot of people have been accused of using rhetoric

saying things that have empty meanings that have no substance or meaning

they just talk and talk and talk bla bla bla bla bla bla bla where are

you from Ali yes that's a good question where are you from Ali I want to know as

well thank you very much for your company today I will be going soon

because I've been here now for 105 minutes yes exactly

105 minutes I being here so I will be going soon if you want to say something

do it now do it now thank you very much to John White for your message by the

way John White that sounds like a British name are you in England is that

what you're doing at the moment are you actually living in the UK Ali says I

cannot tell you the feeling about living here in a few words but answering your

question in short I live in Iran Thank You Ali

for telling everyone where you are and a big hello to you and everyone watching

in Iran I know I have a lot of people watching in Iran and I know also

sometimes it's difficult for you to watch but I am very very pleased to see

you here III have no problem with anyone wherever you are watching if you want to

watch me in the north pole or the South Pole if you want to watch me in the

United States or India or China anywhere in fact you are more than welcome that

is my message to you have you ever uploaded your dance video on your

YouTube channel have you ever uploaded your dance video

on your YouTube channel my dance video I don't remember I don't remember making a

dance video I don't think I've ever made a dance video

okay have I made a dance video I can't remember

look I've made nearly 700 videos I can't remember all of them Maria says can you

give us the pronunciation rhetoric rhetoric so rhetoric is the thing that

you are using you are using rhetoric but also you can pronounce it a rhetoric

rhetoric so some people say rhetoric and others say a rhetoric and to describe

the question we say rhetorical rhetorical so a question that needs no

answer is a rhetorical question pal Mira says I remember the Puddle dance oh I

see yes I forgot all about that I did mention the petal dance earlier because

I think I think Jeff mentioned it so yes there is a video that I made a couple of

years ago where I'm dancing in a petal however it is not on my youtube channel

but on Sunday I will show it is that a good idea okay do we have a deal okay

on Sunday I will show you my puddle dance and it would appear that lots of

people like it and yes I did film it on my iPhone success I did there are many

Italians here I think mr. Steve Oh mr. Steve thank you

for your work improving our English well mr. Steve isn't here at the moment but I

will send your message to mr. Steve when he gets home hello mr. pigeon mr. Duncan

how long does it take to make a video some of my recorded lessons take maybe

two or three weeks to make so some of my old videos some of my very long videos

there are some really nice videos on my youtube channel some very

long lessons where I talk about one subject but generally it can take maybe

one day or maybe three days sometimes a week sometimes two weeks so it really

depends on how much work I have to do it really depends on how much work I have

to do a lot of people are admiring the view thank you very much I will stand

aside so you can see the view there it is the view today it's looking rather

nice I must be honest with you even though it's very blowy the wind is

blowing today because we have we have two tropical storms coming our way we

have storm durian and also storm Gabriel or Gabriel coming this way Victor says I

enjoy your videos with my son he is nine years old from Colombia Thank You Victor

and also a big hello to your son as well enjoy English that's all I can say

Iran is a very beautiful place no mr. Duncan the Internet is partly good here

but we have to use the VPN to have access to YouTube so a very similar

situation to China so in China most Western or outside Internet has been

blocked so I'm not quite sure exactly what the situation is in Iran but it

does sound like it's similar it's a similar situation so if you want to

access YouTube in Iran you have to use a VPN which is an outside and outside

Network sometimes governments do things sometimes they think they are doing

things for the right reason sometimes they do the wrong thing so this is

something I said the other day - one of my callers to my house we had someone

knocking on the door trying to sell something and

they were talking to me for a very long time and I said look in life some people

do the right thing for the wrong reason and some people do the wrong thing for

the right reason and I think that happens a lot in politics so some

countries believe that they are doing the right thing but in fact it might be

the wrong choice or the wrong step so I think this happens a lot in all

countries including here in the UK why do storms always have names of women

now as I understand it I think it depends on the type of storm because I

think some storms have male names so some storms are named after men and

other storms are named after women so here in the UK we often name our storms

after women or was it men I can't remember now it's been a long time since

we've had a local storm so the storms that are coming this way are the ones

that are coming from overseas they are coming across the Atlantic but the good

news is they are bringing lots of lovely warm air and that's the reason why today

everything is very warm it's a lovely day here in the UK I wish you could be

here right now I wish you were standing here next to me and we could turn around

and look together at the beautiful view

max

it is Wednesday afternoon and it's mr. Duncan live on YouTube for a few more

moments and then I'm going I've been here for nearly two hours

nearly two hours I've been here hi mr. Duncan it is my first time chatting from

India hello baris Singh hello bara it's nice to see

you here today and a big hello to India I know I have lots of people watching in

India and can I say I was very sorry to hear that the the small space probe that

you sent to the moon was unsuccessful I was watching it on Sunday I was actually

watching TV as the pictures were coming from India everyone was waiting for the

first signal but sadly no signal arrived which is really sad so yes very

disappointing so maybe next time you will have better success Zara says hello

to mr. Duncan from Iran Thank You Zara you are more than welcome to join me

here hello reor Rai Rai so cheap hello mr. Duncan

hello reor Rai Xochitl nice to see you great you are more than welcome to join

Duncan your hug has rich does all thank you did you see that thank you very much

I'm glad you noticed that hello also - have you ever been to

Turkey have I been to Turkey yes I have I have been to Turkey I've been twice to

Turkey I went to Turkey many years ago before before the change of government

so the government has changed since I went to Turkey so I haven't been there

for a number of years but I had the most amazing time in two

also I made a lesson in Turkey there is a lesson that was filmed completely in

Turkey and it is available on my youtube channel going on holiday is the name of

the lesson I am from Spain it is nice to meet you at Garcia hello a Garcia nice

to see you here as well naysayer is saying goodbye see you later

Nasir I hope you've enjoyed this rather unusual livestream I've been up on the

roof today standing on the roof talking to you all as as the tropical storms

approach the UK we have two coming hello also to Zara

who says I prefer to listen to your lesson so I prefer not to chat that's

okay you don't have to chat a lot of people just like to watch and listen and

read the captions as well now Maria or my year Maya oh hello my year etta says

you have almost got to make it mr. Duncan do you mean two hours I'm almost

I'm almost at two hours I've been here for nearly two hours talking to you yes

it's been a very long time there are lots of uses of the word storm by the

way there is a storm coming tonight in fact it is arriving right now storm

there are many ways of using the word storm a storm can be violent weather

conditions wind and rain also storm can mean outrage or disagreement so quite

often you will hear storm being used to describe people getting angry about a

certain thing we will often say Twitter so if people are fighting on Twitter

about a certain subject we will call it a Twitter storm storm can also mean

violently move so maybe if you get angry you will storm out of a room you will

storm off so in that sense we are using it as an adjective you storm off you

storm out of the room sorry there was a fly on my glasses then as it'll fly

decided to land on my glasses

hello mr. Duncan where is your place it looks different

katkat nee I am now on the roof of my studio so underneath is my studio and

over there you can see the beautiful landscape of Shropshire in England so

it's a beautiful Wednesday afternoon very windy but also it's very warm as

well because right now we have a lot of tropical air coming from the Atlantic I

would be a brilliant weather forecaster I should be on the television really

shouldn't I reading the weather today the weather will be mainly dry and sunny

with lots of wind coming in later and maybe some rain as well I think I would

be a brilliant a brilliant weather forecaster thank you also to new shah

that was a long time ago excellent has to go to work now

okay then accent I will see you later guess what I am also going as well I am

about to leave you I will say goodbye in a moment I hope you've enjoyed today's

livestream I have been on for nearly two hours Valentin says mr. Duncan I am

concerned about the color of your clothes

you sending a secret signal to the world so you think that I'm somehow sending a

secret message to the world but what is the message that I'm sending I don't

know I mean red can mean many things red can mean victory red can mean death red

can mean anger so red is a color that can be expressed in many ways but no the

only reason why I'm wearing this today the reason is because I like this and I

like this and they go together well so there is no secret message there is no

conspiracy I am not sending signals out to the world don't worry nothing like

that thank you very much for your lovely company today thanks accent Thank You

is been a little bit different something unusual something challenging it took me

a very long time to prepare this because I had to tie everything down to make
