84120
7800
01:31

3
91920
10120
01:42
the dentist whilst having my treatment we were  talking all about my work here on YouTube and she  
4
102040
8280
01:50
was quite fascinated to find out what I actually  do with my video making and also my live streams  
5
110320
11280
02:01
as well she was most interested to find out what  that was all about but where am I here I am don't

11280
02:12
worry I am here hi everybody this is definitely  Mr Duncan in England and yes I would like to ask

8
140600
6600
02:27
happy today we are here here for a short time  it is Friday and I suppose a lot of people were  
9
147200
8160
02:35
waking up this morning here in the UK wondering  who was running the country because we had the  
10
155360
8480
02:43
general election yesterday I know what you're  going to say Mr Duncan we don't want to talk  
11
163840
5240
02:49
about politics please don't talk about politics  I won't I'm not going to don't worry but a lot  
12
169080
7800
02:56
of people this morning were waking up finding out  they were eagerly listening to the news or going  
13
176880
5520
03:02
on to the internet to find out all of the details  of the I suppose you would describe it as the  
14
182400
7240
03:09
fallout Fallout it's an interesting word we often  think of Fallout after a nuclear bomb or maybe a  
15
189640
11120
03:20
nuclear explosion we often think of Fallout of  radiation but we can use it in another way as  
16
200760
8320
03:29
well the phrase Fallout can refer to the effects  of something that's happened normally something  
17
209080
7520
03:36
quite dramatic something that has occurred that  is very dramatic you might talk about the Fallout  
18
216600
9160
03:45
of that thing so a lot of people this morning  were waking up very tired maybe some people  
19
225760
8400
03:54
were staying up all night watching the television  as all of the election results came in I didn't  
20
234160
6880
04:01
by the way I went to bed because I did have a very  important appointment and that was with my dentist  
21
241040
9440
04:10
and we had a very interesting conversation she  asked I've noticed you have a tripod in your hand  
22
250480
7760
04:18
is that your job and I said yes it is I film I  make video lessons I teach English I also do live  
23
258240
9280
04:27
streams as well and because my dentist is Young  she knew exactly what I was doing she said oh you  
24
267520
9680
04:37
do it on YouTube I said yes I am on YouTube and I  talk about the English language and then later I  
25
277200
8200
04:45
was in the street doing some filming and can you  believe it my dentist walked past and said oh now  
26
285400
10480
04:55
I've caught you doing it you were talking about  the thing you do and now I've seen you actually  
27
295880
6560
05:02
doing it so that was a very strange moment of  time when my dentist walked by and saw me actually  
28
302440
9040
05:11
filming one of my lessons for next week by the  way there is a new lesson on my YouTube Channel  
29
311480
6920
05:18
right now all about a subject that may or may not  be sensitive I don't know maybe it is maybe it  
30
318400
11360
05:29
is a sensitive subject so there is a new lesson  on my YouTube channel available I posted that this  
31
329760
7680
05:37
morning and today I've been busy again filming  some new short lessons it would appear that lots  
32
337440
8840
05:46
of people like watching my short lessons now now I  know what it's like life can be crazy sometimes it  
33
346280
9880
05:56
can be very hectic and I think one of the things  people these days like to do is to watch or absorb  
34
356160
7920
06:04
information quickly so that is the reason why I've  made some of my very short lessons talking about  
35
364080
9600
06:13
the English language hello to the live chat by  the way hello Franco I can't see the screen very  
36
373680
7440
06:21
well because it's very sunny as you have noticed  the sun is out it really does look as if some  
37
381120
8440
06:30
has arrived and look behind me there is a a very  comfortable bench sitting right there look at that  
38
390240
9680
06:39
doesn't that look comfortable it looks so inviting  quite often as you walk around the English  
39
399920
9080
06:49
Countryside especially in a place where there is  lots of Nature and beautiful views you will find  
40
409000
7120
06:56
there are benches so here is a good example of  a wooden bench and at the back you might notice  
41
416120
8360
07:04
there is a little plate I will point to it so here  can you see here there is a little plate and that  
42
424480
11880
07:16
is an engraving so something has been written  on this plate and this particular bench has been  
43
436360
8160
07:24
dedicated to the memory of someone in this case  it is I wish I could read it I will go around  
44
444520
11520
07:36
the front wait there it's not very clear in this  light Ken and joy Sims Ken and joy Sims so I would  
45
456040
14560
07:50
imagine that those people are no longer alive so  this particular bench has been put here in memory  
46
470600
8600
07:59
of of this lovely couple I would imagine they used  to walk up here every day or maybe in the evening  
47
479200
8720
08:07
perhaps they walked up here to to spend a little  bit of time enjoying the countryside that's what  
48
487920
7000
08:14
I think anyway and who can blame them look at  the view it's amazing we have a lovely lovely  
49
494920
8480
08:23
day here in shopshire in Much Wenlock and the  weather is rather nice to say the least hello  
50
503400
8360
08:31
on hello also kadia watching in Bangladesh is it  warm in Bangladesh I wonder if it is warm where  
51
511760
11000
08:42
you are Franco is here hello to Franco it's nice  to see you here today we also have maritzio we  
52
522760
9840
08:52
also have beis hello beatric yes it is a very  nice surprise well I hope it's a nice surprise  
53
532600
6840
09:00
perhaps for some people it isn't a nice surprise  but I am hoping for some of you it is it is a nice  
54
540320
9880
09:10
feeling to see me here and look over there  if you look very carefully you can see the  
55
550200
5680
09:15
old windmill this is a famous landmark here in  Much Wenlock it overlooks the whole of the town  
56
555880
12040
09:27
of Much Wenlock a very well-known place so it is  nice to be out I have to say I'm enjoying some of  
57
567920
8400
09:36
this lovely sunshine I think it would be fair to  say that we haven't had a very good summer so far  
58
576320
8360
09:44
I don't think summer has been actually all that  good if I was honest with you I'm just going to  
59
584680
6200
09:50
move around slightly that's better oh I can see  you now because the sun was in my eye as you see  
60
590880
7840
09:58
I couldn't see the screen very well so I would say  that the weather today is more typical of British  
61
598720
10320
10:09
summer even though we have had some rather bad  weather over the past few weeks I like it when  
62
609040
9760
10:18
the weather is overcast says kadiza you are right  sometimes it is nice when there is a lot of cloud  
63
618800
8960
10:27
in the sky and and not too much Sunshine a lot of  people do prefer the overcast weather so maybe you  
64
627760
10200
10:37
have a lot of cloud overhead but it is still warm  not too much Sunshine but but still Pleasant so  
65
637960
10560
10:48
you can still walk around and enjoy the weather  one thing I have to mention is my hay fever of  
66
648520
8200
10:56
course my hay fever is being rather annoying as  you can probably imagine very much Happy Day hello  
67
656720
11480
11:08
to Venezuela in South America hello Nestor hello  to you Nestor it's nice to see you here today I  
68
668200
9360
11:17
hope the signal is all right because I am right  now at the top of a hill and just over there is  
69
677560
8560
11:26
Much Wenlock although you can't see it because  it's it's hidden behind trees so we should have  
70
686120
7600
11:33
a very good mobile phone signal up here which to  be honest with you is always a good thing to have  
71
693720
9520
11:43
I like blue sky says on I suppose I do as well  as long as it's not too hot and as long as there  
72
703240
7600
11:50
isn't too much sunlight because I like to walk  around and there is nothing worse than walking  
73
710840
8120
11:58
around around when the the sun is blazing down  upon you there is nothing worse than that the  
74
718960
9560
12:08
other good thing about the weather today is we  have a nice breeze so you might notice the grass  
75
728520
6200
12:14
behind me is blowing gently because we have a nice  refreshing Breeze to keep me cool what kind of  
76
734720
11680
12:26
Castle is that Mr Duncan that over there is not a  castle it it is or it used to be a windmill about  
77
746400
10040
12:36
400 years old that particular windmill is and  it hasn't been used for around 200 years so this  
78
756440
14840
12:51
particular windmill has been here for a very long  time but no one there is no one alive who has ever  
79
771280
9000
13:00
seen it working in fact there is a certain amount  of mystery surrounding this particular windmill a  
80
780280
7320
13:07
lot of people don't even know who built it or what  it even did we can only guess that at some point  
81
787600
8840
13:16
it was making flour or perhaps pumping water or  doing something useful [Music] maybe so all those  
82
796440
12400
13:28
years years ago all those hundreds of years ago  renewable energy was being used some people might  
83
808840
9880
13:38
say we could learn a lot from those people from  the past oh hello Kpop you look you look like my
84
818720
9800
13:48
grandfather is that a good thing or a bad thing  I'm not sure is your grandfather handsome if the  
85
828520
10600
13:59
the answer to that question is yes then I'm happy  very very happy indeed hello also to Monica hello  
86
839120
9440
14:08
Monica it looks like a tower where Mr Steve went  and found it closed it it is a tower I suppose  
87
848560
11560
14:20
you could describe it as a tower but it used to be  a windmill so at the front of the building there  
88
860120
8520
14:28
used to be some sales that would go round and  round but not anymore not for around 200 years  
89
868640
11520
14:40
not since a long time ago hello to I want to say  hello to a few people because I don't want to  
90
880160
10440
14:50
ignore you hello Mosen hello Mosen nice to see you  here as well very nice to see you here as well and  
91
890600
8600
14:59
as well I really love the countryside of England  says education elt it is a nice thing to be honest  
92
899200
9480
15:08
if you ever come to England if you ever get the  chance to come to England I know a lot of people  
93
908680
6160
15:14
will probably go to London they will probably  want to take in all of the sights and the sounds  
94
914840
7800
15:22
of London but can I just say there is a lot of  beautiful countryside that you can also so explore  
95
922640
8200
15:30
there is a lot of Countryside around if I was  honest with you who else is here I don't want to  
96
930840
8080
15:38
miss anyone out hello Jimmy Jimmy from Hong Kong  is here today Mr Duncan have you jumped into a  
97
938920
9600
15:48
painting by Vincent vano it does look a little bit  like that doesn't it because you can see a lot of  
98
948520
9760
15:58
nature a lot of trees and grass wild grass quite  often vano would become obsessed with certain  
99
958280
11600
16:09
areas or certain things that exist in nature he  was very obsessed with cypress trees did you know  
100
969880
12080
16:21
that he did become quite obsessed with with the  shape the unusual shape of the Cyprus Tree and he  
101
981960
10000
16:31
did feature Cyprus trees in many of his paintings  Mr Duncan your lessons are always fun and very  
102
991960
8440
16:40
peaceful compared to other people I could not  possibly comment on other people all I know is

1000400
11200
16:51
I try my best to help you with your English and  I try my best to make it fun and entertaining at

105

111

112
1087440
10600
18:18
it is very flattering something is flattering  it makes the appearance of something seem more  
113
1098040
10160
18:28
attractive it is very flattering thank you very  much that's that's very kind of you to say I  
114
1108200
7640
18:35

115
1115840

122
1178080
9320
19:47
because I'm literally surrounded by grass there is  grass everywhere and it is the worst time type of  
123
1187400
11760
19:59
grass because this is grass that is pollinating it  is producing pollen and I'm standing right in the
