Hi, everybody.

This is Mr Duncan in England.
1
1050
1950
00:03
How are you today?
2
3486
947
00:04
Are you okay?
3
4433
967
00:05
I hope so.
4
5400
1083
00:06
Are you happy?
5
6483
1250
00:07
I hope you're happy as well.

Here I am, out and about on a very hot day.
7
9833
2800
00:12
I have to say.
8
12633
1384
00:14
It is scorching hot.
9
14017
2750
00:16
It is blistering hot.
10
16767
3500
00:20
It is absolutely boiling today.
11
20334
4733
00:25
I couldn't resist coming outside to say
12
25134
2767
00:27
hello And I am wearing my shorts today.
13
27901
3983
00:31
I've decided to be completely unconventional.
14
31884
4934
00:36
That's a great word. By the way.
15
36901
2000
00:38
If you are unconventional, it means you do things
16
38901
3667
00:42
slightly differently from everyone else.
17
42568
3867
00:46
It is a different way of doing things,
18
46552
3817
00:50
so I'm wearing my shorts.
19
50585
1650
00:52
However, I would never go into a classroom
20
52235
2784
00:55
dressed in my shorts because the students
21
55019
3450
00:58
might not respect me so much.
22
58552
2667
01:01
However, you might see or even notice
23
61219
3634
01:04
these days that many people are not dressing
24
64853
3817
01:08
so formally as they used to,
25
68753
3367
01:12
or as smart as they used to.
26
72320
3150
01:15
Have you noticed that?
27
75503
1417
01:16
Well, I definitely have noticed that.
28
76920
3000
01:20
So I suppose in this day and age,
29
80037
8050
01:28
are you enjoying the helicopter?
30
88171
3000
01:31
Hi.
31
91371
2133
01:33
Hello, Mr.
32
93504
1450
01:34
Helicopter.
33
94954
2634
01:37
That is a very low helicopter,
34
97588
2467
01:40
by the way.
35
100055
3966
01:44
That enjoy that spontaneous moment?
36
104105
2066
01:46
There's another word for you.
37
106171
1401
01:47
Spontaneous, Something that happens without warning
38
107572
4516
01:52
that was spontaneous.
39
112172
3283
01:55
So as I was saying, wearing shorts in the classroom
40
115522
3400
01:58
might not be allowed unless, of course, you
41
118922
3000
02:02
are a teacher in a very hot country
42
122156
2483
02:04
and in which case you might actually do that.
43
124639
3534
02:08
You might decide to go into the classroom
44
128239
2917
02:11
wearing just your shoes,
45
131156
3917
02:15
your shorts and maybe a vest.
46
135140
3433
02:18
Imagine that.
47
138656
967
02:19
Imagine if I appeared one day in one of my video
48
139623
3450
02:23
lessons wearing a vest.
49
143073
3000
02:26
You could see all of the parts of my body
50
146157
3750
02:29
bulging through at the sides.
51
149907
3250
02:33
Not a pretty sight, I have to say.
52
153240
2301
02:35
So when we talk about things that are acceptable
53
155541
2550
02:38
or maybe things that are possibly unacceptable,
54
158091
4217
02:42
a person might be conventional
55
162391
3000
02:45
and they follow all of the norms
56
165591
2834
02:48
or they might be unconventional.
57
168425
3633
02:52
They don't follow all of the rules,
58
172141
3251
02:55
although they don't break the important ones,
59
175475
4100
02:59
which of course is very good when you think about it.
60
179792
4833
03:04
I am going now to continue my walk.
61
184709
2933
03:07
I might even have a drink of water because it is hot.
62
187642
3100
03:10
It's 27 degrees today.
63
190742
4201
03:15
It's very hot.
64
195026
1383
03:16
I feel...
65
196409
1167
03:17
Oh, so sticky.
66
197576
2550
03:20
See you soon.
67
200126
900
03:21
And of course...
68
201026
1634
03:23
ta ta for now.
