English Addict ( Quick Fix 9 ) Wednesday 13th October 2021- Live Chat from England with Mr Duncan

it is a very strange day today as  far as the weather is concerned  

it can't quite make up its mind if you can't  make up your mind about something it means you  

can't come to a decision you are finding it  very hard to decide you can't make up your mind  

and that is what is happening today  with the weather it really can't make up  

its mind is it going to be sunny well yes  and no is it going to rain well yes and no  

it's all over the place so at the moment  we have lots of cloud it was raining  

we had glorious sunshine as well it's all  over the place we are back together again yes  

it's english addict some very special live streams  during the month of october coming to you live  

from the birthplace of the english language  which just happens to be oh my goodness england

yes it is a quick fix today a short live stream hi  everybody this is mr duncan in england how are you  

today are you okay i hope so are you feeling good  are you feeling happy i really hope so we are back  

together again yes i hope you are enjoying these  special live streams monday to friday i am with  

you from 2pm uk time doing something special this  month because it is my anniversary here on youtube  

15 years since i began doing this i  started this way back in october 2006  

whilst still in china and here i am now in england  still doing it although over the past five years  

i have been doing this live as well as recorded  such a long time i've been doing this so here i  

am again yes live on youtube for what is for many  people the middle of the week yes it is wednesday

it's wednesday the middle of the week how has  your week been so far has it been a good one

has it been a super duper week or has it been a  load of rubbish please let me know i hope your  

week has been good like mine busy busy if i had to  describe my life at the moment i would have to say  

busy is definitely how i would describe it  definitely busy and also tiring tiring and  

busy so what about your week how has your week  been so far has it been good i hope so everything  

a little unsettled today as far as the weather  is concerned we had sunshine this morning so i  

got very excited and then the sunshine disappeared  and then it started raining and then that vanished  

and now the cloud is hanging over the house  looking very ominous will you be watching  

the space rocket taking off today at around about  i think it's three o'clock uk time although it's  

not happening here in the uk is actually happening  in the usa there is a space rocket taking off i'm  

sure you've heard all about it captain kirk  from star trek is going up in a space rocket  

today at around about three o'clock uk time 3 p.m  uk time so after my live stream has finished this  

particular thing will be going off up into space  and on board will be some some lucky astronauts  

well not quite astronauts i think an astronaut has  to actually go up into space and spend time there  

in zero gravity so this particular rocket will  go up i think it's about 66 miles in the air  

which is technically space however this is  not as as adventurous as elon musk's space x  

which of course goes up and then goes around  the earth for a while so this one only goes up  

for about 10 minutes and then comes back  down on the end of a little parachute  

but william shatner 90 years old can you believe  he is now 90 and he is going up in a space rocket  

today although i have to be honest with you  this also reminds me of something else as well

very interesting so this particular  rocket is the one that has been  

well financed and built by jeff  bezos although i have a feeling  

he didn't build it himself in his garage i have a  feeling i think he had some scientists and other  

types of engineers helping him out but then as  far as i'm concerned how difficult can this be how  

difficult can it be to send one of these things  into space after all it isn't rocket science  

oh actually actually it is rocket science come  to think of it so that's happening today also  

today we have our live stream which i know it  is not quite as exciting as going up into space  

although some people think maybe next time there  is a rocket going up maybe i should be on it

and it just keeps going away from the earth  forever that's not very nice is it so i hope  

you're having a good week i'm not too  bad thank you very much for joining me  

today i've had some very interesting comments  about my live streams every day live streams  

some people saying mr duncan can you do  this forever can you always be on every day  

i'm not sure if i can do that if you remember  yesterday my voice was starting to fail  

yesterday i was having difficulty with my  voice yesterday i hope it will be better today  

oh don't forget there are live captions  everyone so if you press c on your keyboard  

or of course you can activate the captions in  various ways depending on how you are watching  

but yes the good news is there are now live  captions so if you want to follow what i'm  

saying on the screen you can have live text live  subtitles on the screen isn't that amazing by the  

way we have our mystery anagram today there it  is i hope you can see it clearly today's anagram

i have already given you a clue as  to what it is i have given you a clue  

already but there it is i hope you can see it  clearly and that is today's mystery anagram all  

you have to do is solve it i wonder who was first  on today's live chat i'm just going to check oh  

we have a very interesting state of affairs a  very interesting situation taking place right here  

on earth we have someone i don't think you have  ever been first on the live chat before but you  

are alexander nemanov guess what alexander for the  first time ever you are first on today's live chat

i know that is almost as exciting as  going up into space almost as exciting  

not quite as exciting as going up in a large  rocket and circling the earth for 25 seconds but

it's pretty exciting i think it is anyway  congratulations alexander vitas oh vitas  

your finger not so fast today it would appear also  we have oh joining us today we have louis mendes

is here today hello lewis shirin is  joining us vitas again and also ilyada  

ilya iliac i hope i pronounced your name right by  the way ill eleda i think that's better isn't it

oim oim hello to you as well i hope you're having  a good day where you are monisa eva hello eva  

eva mezz is here as well christina nice to see  you back also lots of people joining in already  

on the live chat one of the things i love  about doing this is not just the fact  

that i can do it here in front of you and that  is talk about english but also you can join in  

as well on the live chat and you can chat to each  other and that's one of the wonderful things about  

the internet i know these days we hear a  lot of negative things about the internet  

almost every day we hear something negative  about this beautiful thing we are using  

right now however sometimes nice things can  happen and they do right here on the internet  

i am well says beatrice but i can't  complain well i hope you are feeling better  

sometimes these recoveries can take quite a  while especially if you have some sort of allergy  

or some sort of problem that that occurs during  a certain season yes it can be very difficult  

i know how it feels to be honest hello  also to zuzika we also have monisa  

and also we have chow new in la bao hello  to you as well watching in vietnam i think  

jimmy from hong kong 15 years on youtube  congratulations mr duncan thank you very much  

yes that's why i'm wearing my  number 15 on my hat hello also to  

alessandra marutz hello my roots watching  in poland nice to see you here as well  

also we have tom rox here again hello  adi adi is thinking the same thing as me  

that rocket blue origin looks very familiar it  looks like something else i'm i'm not saying what  

it looks like i like the joke about having  the rocket and also mr duncan on board  

yes a lot of people would like to  see me get on board a space rocket

unfortunately for me they don't want me to return  back to earth they want me to carry on you see  

out into the outer reaches of the the  galaxy or maybe they would like to see me  

fired into the centre of the sun  it's not very nice is it it isn't  

today we are talking about things that are genuine  and things that are fake we will be comparing  

those words and we will be looking at some of the  uses as well and there are many ways of expressing  

things that are real and things that are not real  but i can tell you now today definitely i am 100

original this is the real mr duncan this is no  fake mr duncan this is a real mr duncan but then  

i can't imagine anyone wanting to  try and be like me i mean really  

would you would you like to be like me  would you like to spend a day like this

i'm thinking the answer might be no  

so i am 100 original that there is  nothing else like this on youtube trust me

hello also to oh we have mohsen here hello mohsen  don't worry i haven't forgotten about you i saw  

you here also we have sorry sorry carmona i like  your name by the way sounds very nice also we have

i am feeling a little distracted at the moment  i don't know what's going on outside but i  

i can hear some very strange noises  outside my window i wonder what it is  

i don't know what's going on outside  my window but something is very strange  

something very strange is happening  outside and it's very distracting as well

let's hope i don't become too annoyed by it  hello also to oh we have hussein hussein kh  

is joining us as well on the live stream  nice to see you here as well yes 100 original  

nothing else like this anywhere on youtube there  might be people teaching english on youtube there  

might be people doing live streams but i can  guarantee that no one is doing it like this

definitely i am pretty sure of that so if you  like to if you would like to try and guess what my  

anagram is you are more than welcome to do  so andrew says i think i've seen your videos  

for the first time in 2008 there were no live  streams back then but the new pre-recorded lessons  

and stuff would appear instead yes so i've only  been doing my live streams for around five years  

so five years ago i started doing this because  before then there was no technology for doing  

live streams so before 2016 it was very unusual  or very difficult to actually do this live but now  

thanks to all of the innovation and all of  the wonderful technology i can stand here in  

super high quality and talk to you live so  that's very very good i think hello also to  

view new in who sends me some love thank you  some love from vietnam that's very kind of you  

to do that thank you how lovely and yes i will be  with you tomorrow so wednesday thursday and friday  

i am with you saturday i'm not with you i have to  have at least one day off during the week and that  

is saturday but yes of course i am with you six  days a week victoria says mr duncan you are one  

of a kind i am some people say that i that that i  am quite unique i don't know why they say that but  

they say that we've never seen anyone else like  you you're very unusual they broke the mould when  

they made you they probably did but unfortunately  i was still inside at the time when they broke it

a lot of damage has been done let's say palmyra  says youtube started in 2005 and you just  

over one year later yes when i started here on  youtube this whole site was completely different  

basic the the layout of the site was very  basic and also there was no high definition  

everything was in very low resolution so  the videos were all fuzzy and not very large

but now

we have

i think it's the window cleaner there is  the window cleaner behind me can you see  

the window cleaner he's cleaning the window  the window where my camera is pointing out  

just to prove that this is definitely live you see  

if you wait for a moment you might see  oh there it is thank you window cleaner

my window is being cleaned  at the moment right behind me

that might be the most unusual thing  that's ever happened on my live stream  

okay i can see that the window cleaner  is now putting water on the window and  

he's going to clean the window so my  lovely view will be bright and sparkly  

that is so weird i can't quite believe that  just happened but it did yes the window cleaner  

has arrived they are cleaning all of my  windows including the one where my camera  

is positioned so that is what that  is so distracting it really is

do you have your windows clean for free no  no we don't we have to pay for them we have  

to pay for the window cleaner he doesn't do it  for for free that might be the weirdest thing  

that's ever happened on my live stream and  it's it's also very distracting by the way

brad pratnia says i have never seen a  person like you in in my entire life

i'm very sorry about that i i hope i haven't  spoiled your life too much by existing i really do

mr duncan you teachers

you teachers as a parent would teach their  children thank you vitas i'm not sure if  

that's good or bad is it good or bad i'm not  sure hello to th baity hi everyone hello to  

you as well thanks for joining me on a very  strange day because the window cleaner is  

now over there right next to me he can't see  me though because i i've closed the blind but  

it's incredibly distracting having someone  right next to you clean your windows very  

strange could you please ask the window cleaner  to come in and have a conversation with you  

i i want to see him i have a feeling that he won't  

want to come onto my live stream not  many people do because they're so shy

could you please tell the window cleaner to join  the live stream i don't think he will most people  

generally speaking most people do not like  to appear on the internet or on the camera  

most people are quite shy you see

hello viet i'm watching in vietnam nice to see  you here as well thank you also palmyra nice to  

see you back as well yes we we are talking  about things that are real things that are  

genuine or true and i suppose we live in  a very interesting age where it has become  

much harder to to recognize things that are  genuine or real it has become much harder

the window cleaner is now behind me

can you hear him

i can't begin to tell you how distracting  that is very distracting at least we have  

a nice clear view behind me now you can  see lovely and clearly out of my window  

thank you very much what was i talking about what  is real and what is fake yes that's what we're  

talking about today thank you for reminding  me my one brain cell that is still working  

today we are talking about things that are genuine  and things that are fake and as i said in this day  

and age it is very hard sometimes to  tell the difference between what is real  

what is genuine and what is fake so first of all  the word genuine and fake both of these words  

relate to what is real and what is not we can  also say that something that is genuine is maybe  

a thing that can be trusted whilst a fake thing  might be something that you you would not trust  

something that can be verified or proved correct  is genuine something that is honest or truthful  

is often described as genuine a unique thing that  is confirmed as original can be called genuine  

an original thing is the thing that has been  created and maybe there is nothing else like it  

anywhere else a unique thing that is confirmed  as original can be called genuine the thing in  

question is the genuine article so this phrase is  often used when we describe something that is 100  

percent genuine not fake genuine we often  describe that thing as the genuine article  

the real thing it is not fake a person might be  described as genuine if their character is true

and sincere

so a person you can trust may be a person  whose emotions or characteristics appear to be  

real genuine can be described as  a person you can trust perhaps  

to be viewed as trustworthy and of true character  is genuine so a genuine person he seems genuine  

he seems like a real person i think his  personality or his character is genuine  

so when you meet that person you are meeting  the real person they they behave naturally as  

they they would in any situation an original piece  of art made by the actual creator is genuine for  

example here in the studio you might not believe  this but i was on the telephone yesterday to paris  

i phoned up the louvre the famous gallery  where lots of beautiful works of art  

lots of art dej is kept and i was  able to to bring with me today  

the mona lisa there it is so that  is the genuine mosalisa mona lisa

painted of course by leonardo da vinci  or is it leonardo dicaprio i'm not sure

and you can see the beautiful  artwork that has gone in  

to this particular painting  you can see every brush stroke

every beautiful brushstroke

that has been added to the canvas isn't  that lovely what a lovely painting  

the mona lisa unfortunately i i can  only keep it here for a short time  

because the louvre they want it back they  want it back in their gallery tomorrow  

so they can open their doors again  because they've closed especially for me  

so i could actually have this this wonderful  original painting of mona lisa leonardo da vinci

not leonardo dicaprio although i'm not sure  now maybe this was painted by leonardo dicaprio  

the genuine mona lisa isn't that beautiful and of  course you can see that the the world famous smile  

on her face there she looks very happy i'm  not sure what she's holding in her hand  

maybe she's covering herself up maybe she is  a little bit modest but she looks very happy

yes i think it's brilliant apparently this  painting is worth millions millions and millions  

of pounds

it's brilliant i think this is  probably one of the best paintings  

ever produced by a human being i think so

hello andrew

some people believe that if  we remove the first layer  

from the mona lisa there might also be another  painting underneath by perhaps michelangelo

mr duncan i am a big fan of yours  from a man in bangkok hello udom  

nice to see you here as well things that are  genuine and things that are fake as i said a few  

moments ago an original piece of art made by the  actual creator is genuine something that is real

for example you might have a genuine picasso  picasso the style of picasso was surreal so  

he would take take elements of reality and twist  them to make them surreal a lot of people describe  

picasso as a surrealist a surrealist  i like that word by the way  

very similar to salvador dali who was also  a person who painted with a surreal brush

i can see window cleaners walking by my  camera i can actually see them now i won't  

put them on screen because i that's not allowed  unfortunately but i can see the window cleaner now  

i really want to put put put him on but i can't  

but he's really concentrating  so hard on what he's doing

he's probably wondering why there's cameras  everywhere pointing around i wonder anyway

oh this this is the weirdest thing that's ever  happened to me and you can enjoy it live with me  

genuine is authentic real true trusted actual  

bona fide oh i like that word something that  is bona fide is real genuine the real deal

so we have words

mr window cleaner i'm going to put the  window cleaner on the screen very quickly  

oh he's gone now but you can see he was just there  

oh there he was did you see his head okay  that's it that's all i can show you see  

is it he's another view there he is that's the  window cleaner outside my house at the moment  

but you can't see his head he can't see his  face rather that's it that's all i can show  

i can i can't identify him unfortunately this  is a very strange live stream i have to say  

i'm not going to lie to you this is a very strange  live stream that i'm doing today hello marcia  

oh marcia cardoso nice to see you  here as well so we looked at words  

connected to being genuine and now we  will look at the opposite which of course  

is fake the opposite of genuine is fake something  that is real and something that is not real  

an unreal or unverified thing can be described as  fake something that is not real something that is  

not true maybe something that has been created  from something else and maybe you are trying to  

say that that thing is the original thing but it  isn't it is fake an unreal or unverified thing  

can be described as fake of course a lot of  people recently have been talking about fake news  

fake news something an original can be described  as fake or fraudulent oh i like that word i like  

the word fraudulent something that is fraudulent  is something that is not true or not real

how did the winter cleaner get into your garden  well mr steve is also here so mr steve allowed him  

into the garden actually he  looks a bit like a male model  

he looks like a pinup from a magazine i  don't know why he's cleaning windows for

i know that's a strange thing to say but but  yes i just thought oh that's interesting do you  

ever see someone doing something maybe they  are digging a hole in the street but they  

are incredibly good looking maybe an attractive  woman perhaps working in a shop and you think wow  

that lady is so so beautiful she should  be a model well my window cleaner  

outside my house now looks a bit like a like a  model from one of those french perfume adverts

but i digress something an original something that  is not real or true something that has been copied  

can be described as fake or fraudulent to copy  something and try to pass it off as one's own  

work is to fake something i know i have to come  clean and be honest this is not the real mona lisa  

this is one that i copied so this is i know it  looks very real i know you are thinking mr duncan  

that cannot be a fake mona lisa that  must be a real one because it's so  

well done you you are very good at copying  other people's work isn't that great  

so that is not the real mona lisa i i know  you are probably shocked to hear that but  

that is one that i drew myself that is  my own drawing of the classic mona lisa

not the real one that is fake

here's another way of describing things  that are fake fake can be used as a noun  

verb and adjective so all of those words can  be used those types of words as a noun a verb  

and an adjective can all be used can all be used  so you can have something that is fake something  

fake as a noun to fake something as a  verb or pretend so the actual action of  

faking something you fake something as a verb and  if something appears fake you can also use it as  

an adjective a fake item for example something  that is not real something that is not real at all  

can be described as being faked not real  maybe a person will fake their own death  

maybe they will go to the the the coast by the sea  and they they will take all of their clothes off  

and they will leave the clothes on the beach  and then vanish and people will think that that  

person has gone into the sea and drowned but  then about a year later that person suddenly  

appears again and it turns out that they  faked their death they didn't really die  

they just wanted to disappear i'm sure most of us  from time to time feel like doing that i think so  

palmyra says mr duncan the word fake has become  a buzzword yes i think i think that would be very  

fair to say definitely an insincere person might  be described as fake or as behaving in a fake way  

and we've all done it we've all met people  who appear to be fake they don't appear to be  

genuine they appear to be putting on a  show or an act for others around them  

so you might describe a person as fake if  they have a fake personality maybe they are  

pretending to be wealthy and successful but  they are not you can say that they are fake  

a genuine thing is real a fake thing is  unreal or unoriginal stealing a person's  

idea or copying something and passing it  off as your own work produces a fake item  

they produce something that is fake but they say  it isn't they say it is original so stealing a  

person's idea or copying something and passing  it off as your own work produces a fake item  

however we often use different terms when  describing stolen ideas we often call this  

plagiarism i like that word by the way it's a nice  word to say plagiarism and it does happen quite  

often the act of plagiarism is when a person  uses another person's intellectual property  

which i think is a brilliant phrase when we talk  about intellectual property we are talking about  

something that one person has thought of and  created we often use the term intellectual  

property a thing thought of and then used  artistically or in a practical way or in practice  

is intellectual property and there is a very  good example of someone's intellectual property  

the character harry potter is the intellectual  property of jk rowling so that would be a very  

good use of intellectual property as a word so  harry potter and all of the other characters  

is the intellectual property of jk rowling she  created it and she owns it as well something  

fake is unreal counterfeit forged bogus it is  a replica it is false it has been knocked off  

i like that expression so in british english  we will often describe something fake  

or maybe something stolen or copied as knocked  off and also pirated something that has been  

pirated quite often we will use this especially  especially in these modern days we often use  

the term pirated something pirated has been copied  illegally such as a movie or a piece of music  

so i remember many many years ago when we used  to have videos who remembers videos those big  

bulky boxes containing tape and quite often  you could buy fake videos or counterfeit videos  

and they were just copies of movies but quite  often the quality was awful because what would  

happen is someone would go into the cinema  with a camera in their hand and they would film  

the movie on the screen and then they would  put that onto a video tape and sell it the only  

problem was quite often the quality was awful and  you couldn't see the actual film all you would see  

was the silhouette of people sitting in front  of the person with the camera so it didn't  

always work something pirated has been copied and  technically stolen as well so there it is uses of  

genuine and fake everywhere you look around the  world you might find genuine things that are real  

and fake things that are not real they have been  copied they have been copied illegally quite often

Belorussia hello claudia when when do we use fake  and when do we use false well fake is something  

that has been produced something real  so a fake painting a fake expression

a thing that has been done something false  

is often an action we often use false  to describe an action that is not real

marcia i believe that if you do the same but use  your own name and don't try to cheat it's a copy  

and not a steal yes marcia you are right  however there are many people who who copy  

other people's work but then they try to  make it appear as if that work is the work  

of the original artist or the creator so  it has happened quite often over the years

flower espresso says one day i was ripped off  because i bought a fake basket unfortunately  

it was only copied it was not real yes that  happens quite often in fashion you might get  

a fake handbag with a with a very expensive brand  name but unfortunately the whole thing is fake  

it's been made in a shop at the back in a small  factory with lots of people making these things

thank you andrew thank you also  to beatriz for your input your

oh marcia yes yes marcia your point is very good  i like that yes so if you if you use your own name  

when you create something technically it is  not fake and it is not a copy yes you are right  

you might say that you have been influenced  by another person so it's not quite the  

same thing you are right i am going in a moment  because i'm going off to watch the space rocket

with captain kirk on board i  can't believe i just said that  

but it's happening it's not fake it is real  in a few moments this will be blasting off  

from the earth's surface and on board will be  a lot of lucky people including william shatner  

captain kirk from star trek in around about  10 minutes from now i am going to watch that  

on the television and i will see you tomorrow i'm  back tomorrow just before i go i will give you the  

answer to the anagram oh a lot of people got this  right well done the anagram above my microphone is
