18
360259
6960
06:07
you for asking nearly 15 years i've been here on youtube i always like to think that i am
19
367219
6930
06:14
the best kept secret on youtube because so few people know about me and i would like
20
374149
6871
06:21
to say a very special thank you to youtube and your algorithms for making that so very
21
381020
7260
06:28

25
415599

71
826800
10300
13:57

72
837100
12400
14:09
that lovely syrup going all over those pancakes so tomorrow we will be here live with mr steve
73
849500
12410
14:21
celebrating his birthday and also we will be making some pancakes as well in the kitchen
74
861910
6899
14:28
so we will be doing that tomorrow i hope you can join us because tomorrow we have a lot
75
868809
6071
14:34
quite a lot going on in the studio tomorrow steve's birthday and also
76
874880
9870
14:44
pancake day we are going to try and make some pancakes in the kitchen tomorrow i'm not sure
77
884750
6430
14:51
how successful we will be but one of the beautiful things about doing a live stream is that you
78
891180
5909
14:57
don't know what is going to happen so we are going to try and make some pancakes tomorrow
79
897089
5421
15:02
in the kitchen i'm not sure how it will go or whether we will be successful or not i
80
902510
7320
15:09
have no idea at all so what about you do you like pancakes and if you do what do you put
81
909830
11290
15:21
on your pancakes what do you like to put on top of your pancakes some people like to put
82
921120
8429
15:29
honey or maybe syrup something sweet of course some people like to be very creative with
83
929549
8160
15:37
their pancakes they like to put things inside the pancakes maybe raisins or sultanas or
84
937709
8580
15:46
maybe some people like to put cream on top of their pancakes and maybe sprinkle some
85
946289
7681
15:53
blueberries on top as well so i always think making a pancake is very similar to making
86
953970
8570
16:02
an omelette there is a certain amount of skill involved in doing it i think so yes we will
87
962540
7519
16:10
be live in the kitchen tomorrow we will be in the studio as well for a short while and
88
970059
7751
16:17
then we will be in the kitchen tomorrow and mr steve will be with us he has taken a day
89
977810
7150
16:24
off work for us so i hope you will be very grateful tomorrow don't forget to say thank
90
984960
7010
16:31
you mr steve for giving up a day of your work although to be honest with you i think if
91
991970
6099
16:38
mr steve had a choice i think he would prefer to be here with you than upstairs in his office
92
998069
8431
16:46
i think so so today
93
1006500
9429
16:55
hello will you are a smart cookie you can sit at the front of the class today you are
94
1015929
7890
17:03
very smart
95
1023819
3051
17:06
yes that's true i am a homo-sapien just like you well done you got my attention so you
96
1026870
9360
17:16
get the prize here we go then now i've discovered something lovely that i like to eat i like
97
1036230
5950
17:22
to put all sorts of things in my mouth you may have noticed something i've discovered
98
1042180
5139
17:27
last week actually when i was in my local supermarket i discovered something that has
99
1047319
6681
17:34
been imported from friends so there is a little clue you see there is a slight clue there
100
1054000
7380
17:41
because from france it might be cheese is it cheese mr duncan no it isn't it isn't cheese
101
1061380
8630
17:50
however it is bread everybody bread a certain type of bread i have discovered a beautiful
102
1070010
11299
18:01
type of bread called brioche brioche it's a beautiful buttery bread and i think it's
103
1081309
9191
18:10
quite unhealthy as well so it does contain quite a lot of fat but this is a type of French
104
1090500
6920
18:17
bread and it's called brioche or brioche and you can have all sorts of things on this you
105
1097420
6800
18:24
can have cream cheese which i did this morning i had some cream cheese and mayonnaise on
106
1104220
7430
18:31
my lovely brioche this morning very nice indeed uh you can put butter on there you can have
107
1111650
7790
18:39
some cheese you can have some hard cheese i suppose you can also put maybe fruit in
108
1119440
8989
18:48
there so i think you can put all sorts of things on this particular type of bread it
109
1128429
5941
18:54
is called brioche or brioche i normally say brioche so i hope i'm pronouncing that right
110
1134370
7710
19:02
but it is a very lovely type of bread and it contains a lot of butter which of course
111
1142080
7790
19:09
is something i love so needless to say this is now my favourite snack in fact just before
112
1149870
7310
19:17
starting today's live stream i actually had a brioche and that was the one that you just
113
1157180
6359
19:23
saw on the live stream that was the one the very thing that i just ate before starting
114
1163539
6431
19:29
today's live stream one thing i did notice yesterday i noticed yesterday my stomach was
115
1169970
6610
19:36
making some strange noises some rumbling noises because yesterday i didn't have anything to
116
1176580
7069
19:43
eat before starting the live stream unfortunately hello oh victoria says oh i love brioche maybe
117
1183649
10410
19:54
with chocolate ah yes you could have some chocolate spread so yes or maybe something
118
1194059
7781
20:01
like nutella i know a lot of people like nutella i don't like it i don't like the taste of
119
1201840
6280
20:08
it but yes you are right you might you might put cheese or cream or maybe meat you could
120
1208120
8620
20:16
put some ham or maybe some some chicken inside yes very nice i like the sound of that very
121
1216740
7590
20:24
lovely i remember when i was staying in paris a couple of years ago they gave us some lovely
122
1224330
7140
20:31
brioche for breakfast and it was very nice but it was quite unusual because it had some
123
1231470
7209
20:38
some pieces of chocolate inside very similar to croissants that's another thing that i
124
1238679
8521
20:47
quite like croissants they are also a type of french bread you normally have croissant
125
1247200
6870
20:54
at breakfast time you normally do
126
1254070
5760
20:59
so what do you normally put on your pancakes oh beatrice says i love to put rum burnt apple
127
1259830
9570
21:09
pancakes oh i see burnt i'm not sure if i like the sound of burnt pancakes but if that
128
1269400
10129
21:19

129
1279529
6990
21:26
chat today thank you for joining us we have luis mendes watching in france is here also
130
1286519
12540
21:39
vitas i'm sorry vitas it would appear that your finger was not very fast today you were
131
1299059
8490
21:47
you were a little slow because mr oops i love your name by the way mr oops was a little
132
1307549
7901
21:55
faster you see yes hello sandra sometimes i have pancake with honey i think a lot of
133
1315450
8900
22:04
people do prefer that they they like something sweet and sticky on their pancakes including
134
1324350
8769
22:13
me so sometimes i will have syrup or maybe honey
135
1333119
5880
22:18
so you can have either of those things on your pancakes and yes it does taste delicious
136
1338999
7050
22:26
and that's what we are doing tomorrow as i mentioned a few moments ago tomorrow we have
137
1346049
5260
22:31
a live stream again and we will be making some pancakes and mr steve will be celebrating
138
1351309
10710
22:42
his birthday tomorrow i i must say this month is proving to be very busy in fact because
139
1362019
9451
22:51
not only mr steve's birthday we also had pancake day we have that tomorrow and also last week
140
1371470
6610
22:58
we had the chinese new year the lunar new year as well so this month is proving to be
141
1378080
7729
23:05
a very busy month indeed i think so we were watching the pigeons earlier did you see the
142
1385809
8041
23:13
lovely pigeons oh they were so lovely would you like to see some baby pigeons now it's
143
1393850
8340
23:22
not very often that you see baby pigeons so i thought it would be fun to take a look at
144
1402190
8030
23:30
some baby pigeons which we are going to do right now so first of all you can see there
145
1410220
7789
23:38
are some adults so they they are not babies however if we look over there look there is
146
1418009
8951
23:46
a baby pigeon you don't often see baby pigeons and the reason is because for most of the
147
1426960
7699
23:54
time they stay in the nest so that is the reason why you never normally see baby pigeons
148
1434659
7081
24:01
or young pigeons so this particular pigeon has just left the nest it is what we call
149
1441740
8759
24:10
a fledgling something that is starting out on its journey through life and there now
150
1450499
8741
24:19
you can see the parents and also the young pigeon as well so what the pigeons will normally
151
1459240
7720
24:26
do for a few days they will stay near to the baby and then after a while they will they
152
1466960
8579
24:35
will desert or they will abandon the baby they will leave it to take care of itself
153
1475539
8750
24:44
so that's what pigeons normally do they will stay very close for a few days and then they
154
1484289
6811
24:51
will leave the young pigeon alone to get used to fending for itself to fend for yourself
155
1491100
10380
25:01
is to take care of yourself your own journey of survival through life can be described
156
1501480
7179
25:08
as fending for yourself you have to defend yourself as you go through life and that is
157
1508659
8561
25:17
the reason why the pigeons will normally leave their baby alone after two or three days because
158
1517220
6679
25:23
the pigeon the baby pigeon has to learn how to take care of itself just like us just like
159
1523899
9171
25:33
us what is the difference between crepe and pancake
160
1533070
9829
25:42
i wonder what is the difference between crepe and pancake now i always thought crepes were
161
1542899
9061
25:51
small i always thought crepes were much smaller so i think they are like small pancakes am
162
1551960
8250
26:00
i right i'm sure louis will know because louis lives in france you see so crepes and pancakes
163
1560210
9459
26:09

164
1569669
7571
26:17

165
1577240
7189
26:24
a pancake expert as you will find out tomorrow when i try to make one oh apparently they
166
1584429
8801
26:33
are thinner oh i'm right really i'm right okay so apparently crepes are much thinner
167
1593230
9679
26:42
and pancakes are much thicker okay that's good i think that deserves a fancy pants because
168
1602909
9650
26:52
not only do we have the answer i was also right
169
1612559
13440
27:05
that's enough no more too much excitement we can't have too much excitement hello also
170
1625999
10260
27:16
to cree v hello cree v today i received a letter for this reason the addressee has gone
171
1636259
12691
27:28
away what does it mean does this sentence have only one meaning well when we say addressee
172
1648950
7400
27:36
it means the person that you sent the letter to the addressee is the receiver of that letter
173
1656350
8079
27:44
so what they are actually saying is the addressee has gone away that means they are not there
174
1664429
6230
27:50
they are absent so the addressee is the person you are sending the letter to it is a little
175
1670659
8220
27:58
bit like employee so when we say employee we are saying the person who works for the
176
1678879
8371
28:07
company so they are on the receiving end the addressee is the person you are sending it
177
1687250
8570
28:15
to the addressee and the person who sends the letter is the addresser the addresser
178
1695820
8489
28:24
sends the letter the addressee receives the letter and that note means that the person
179
1704309
8370
28:32
has gone away they have maybe they've left for good maybe they've gone forever so to
180
1712679
7441
28:40
go away can be used in more than one way you can go away for a short time or you can go
181
1720120
6419
28:46
away forever so maybe the the note on your on your letter means that the person is no
182
1726539
9671
28:56
longer at that address maybe they've gone completely so to go away can be for a short
183
1736210
8679
29:04
time or a long time you can go away temporarily or permanently forever and ever
184
1744889
11420
29:16
hello also anarita i like to see anarita here as well also gigi kane is here also we have
185
1756309
10360
29:26
beatrice also we have oh i see so what you normally do you normally mr duncan it is very
186
1766669
9730
29:36
well known it is a very well known dessert here it is a common pancake with apple filler
187
1776399
8090
29:44
and then they put rum on the top and then they light the room so you will set fire to
188
1784489
9370
29:53
the pancake we call that flambé by the way oh mr duncan you seem to know a lot about
189
1793859
6771
30:00
cooking flambé if you flambé something it means you burn it you set fire to it well
190
1800630
8350
30:08
you don't you don't actually burn it but you do heat it up suddenly by allowing it to catch
191
1808980
5870
30:14
fire so normally you will put some alcohol on top and then you will literally light the
192
1814850
7789
30:22
alcohol and it will burn it will catch fire and then you put the fire out and you have
193
1822639
8821
30:31
all of this combined flavour and it's supposed to be very nice indeed thank you beatriz
194
1831460
8500
30:39
apparently if you flambé something it improves the flavour it increases the flavour of the
195
1839960
7659
30:47
food i like that pretty good what are the pancakes ingredients says christina it is
196
1847619
10040
30:57
very easy to make actually you have a little bit of corn flour a little bit of flour an
197
1857659
6000
31:03
egg some milk and what else a little bit of salt as well so they are quite easy to mix
198
1863659
9140
31:12
however when you put them in the frying pan then
199
1872799
5801
31:18
things can go wrong but yes they are quite easy to make actually plain flour so so you
200
1878600
7389
31:25
use flour that is plain so you don't want to make bread you don't want the pancake to
201
1885989
9371
31:35
swell up so you use the plane flower i think that is very important we are not talking
202
1895360
10289
31:45
about food today but i think it is a good idea to talk about food because i love talking
203
1905649
5061
31:50
about food you may have noticed i like food very much i still have some chocolate you
204
1910710
6640
31:57
see from yesterday so yesterday was valentine's day and i did buy some chocolate and we did
205
1917350
6899
32:04
eat some chocolate last night however i still have two two bars of chocolate left so last
206
1924249
10030
32:14
night we ate one bar of chocolate but we still have two left just to prove that we are not
207
1934279
8230
32:22
as greedy as you think so today we're talking about a very interesting subject this is a
208
1942509
8000
32:30
subject that i like to think of which is very appropriate because today we are looking at
209
1950509
6711
32:37
thought
210
1957220
5060
32:42
thinking
211
1962280
3170
32:45
your thoughts the process of thinking and also there are many words and phrases connected
212
1965450
8849
32:54
to it as well we can we can mention all sorts of words in fact so quite often when we talk
213
1974299
6100
33:00
about thought we are often expressing the things or we are keeping something in our
214
1980399
7701
33:08
head that only we know about so something that you think about is a thought we can have
215
1988100
7939
33:16
a moment of thought something you you think about something you consider so how to express
216
1996039
8661
33:24
thought well there are many ways to express thought we can say to think to think to process
217
2004700
11689
33:36
information to imagine to allow your mind to wander free or maybe if you have a certain
218
2016389
9420
33:45
thing that you want to think about something you have to consider carefully something you
219
2025809
4800
33:50
have to think about thought it is the thing we do it can also be the thing that is produced
220
2030609
9231
33:59
in our head by thinking the thought is the thought that you think you have
221
2039840
13240
34:13

8050
34:24
you can also consider something so when we say think you have a thought you consider
224
2064929
7681
34:32
something you think about something you consider doing something so maybe something that you
225
2072610
6191
34:38
plan to do in the future is something you consider doing you think about that thing
226
2078801
7519
34:46
hmm i am considering buying some new show some new shoes i want to buy some new shoes
227
2086320
10420
34:56
i am considering it i am thinking about buying some new shoes you see how to express thought
228
2096740
10000
35:06
you can consider you can also mull mr duncan very interesting word there you are showing
229
2106740
9530
35:16
mull if you mull something it means you think about it you mull you are thinking maybe you
230
2116270
11471
35:27

231
2127741
6179
35:33
certain situation that you find yourself in you are thinking it over in your head to mull
232
2133920
10990
35:44
is to think to consider you are having a thought about something you are mulling something

2144910
10750
35:55
over
234
2155660
4970
36:00
here's another one we have the word judge judge now this is an interesting word judge
235
2160630
9900
36:10
so when you judge something it means you are making a decision so to think normally leads
236
2170530
7240
36:17
to some sort of conclusion to judge is the same thing to judge something is to think
237
2177770
6030
36:23
about it and quite often you will come to a decision so something you have to judge
238
2183800
7769
36:31
is something you have to maybe choose you have to decide on one thing maybe if you are
239
2191569
9631
36:41
sitting in a courtroom on a jury you might have to consider someone's fate you have to
240
2201200
9500
36:50
decide whether the person is responsible for the crime or maybe they are innocent you must
241
2210700
8960
36:59
judge that person you make a judgment about something or somebody i like this one this
242
2219660
10720
37:10
is an interesting word the thing you think about the thing you consider is your muse
243
2230380
9239
37:19
you can muse something hmm yes i wonder
244
2239619
10651
37:30
muse you express a thought you think about something something in your mind is going
245
2250270
8940
37:39
over and over maybe a certain decision that you have to make you muse something sometimes
246
2259210
7540
37:46
an artist will have their own muse normally the focus of their creativity might be described
247
2266750
12950
37:59
as their muse as well a person who is thought about maybe an attractive young lady that
248
2279700
9859
38:09
an artist becomes obsessed with and they will often paint them in different positions and
249
2289559
7520
38:17
places that person becomes the artist's muse it's lovely oh hello palmyra says muse is
250
2297079

40:07
are talking about thought words phrases and how to express thought you conjugate
262
2407010
8260
40:15
here's an interesting word now for those who know a little bit about animals you will know
263
2415270
8990
40:24
that animals will ruminate it means they will chew something they will chew the grass but
264
2424260
9089
40:33
ruminate can be used to express thinking as well you ruminate you think about something
265
2433349
7561
40:40
you think about something over and over again hmm ruminate that means your brain is busy
266
2440910
8939
40:49
thinking about a certain thing maybe a certain topic or a certain subject
267
2449849
6740
40:56
might be described as ruminate you ruminate i like that word because it can be used in
268
2456589
9891
41:06
more than one way which is very interesting you reflect oh yes so we often think of reflection
269
2466480
11220
41:17
as the thing we see when we look in the mirror so when you look in the mirror you will see
270
2477700
5240
41:22
your reflection you will see yourself looking back in reverse so in this particular sense
271
2482940
8000
41:30
the word reflect there it is
272
2490940
9429
41:40
reflect is to think you go over something again it is a little bit like looking in the
273
2500369
7061
41:47
mirror of your mind maybe you are reflecting on your past you are reflecting on your achievements
274
2507430
11629
41:59
maybe you are thinking about your life in general have i done enough in my life has
275
2519059
7921
42:06
my life been valuable have i done all the things that i planned to do with my life you
276
2526980
7770
42:14
reflect on things reflect perhaps you stand watching the sunset maybe that moment will
277
2534750
12319
42:27
will make you reflect on certain things perhaps you will feel a certain emotion maybe there
278
2547069
6411
42:33
is someone in your life who you miss and you are thinking about them so certain moments
279
2553480
5980
42:39
of time can lead you to have a moment of reflection you are thinking about things carefully you
280
2559460
8790
42:48
are trying to make sense of something that has happened in your life hmm
281
2568250
8750
42:57
here's another one i like this word here's another interesting word we do have some unusual
282
2577000
5809
43:02
words sometimes on the live stream ponder ponder now i like this word very much ponder
283
2582809
12520
43:15
hmm
284
2595329
22121
43:37
you ponder you think so to ponder is to think about something maybe you are trying to come
285
2617450
7250
43:44
to a decision maybe some choice that you've been given you have to make a choice between
286
2624700
6520
43:51
two things but you can only choose one thing you ponder you think you consider you are
287
2631220
6700
43:57
trying to work out an answer maybe to ponder is to think very carefully about something
288
2637920
11379
44:09
you ponder maybe you sit under a tree and maybe it's a beautiful spring day
289
2649299
10740
44:20
like today today looks very spring-like it really does feel like spring today maybe you
290
2660039
7321
44:27
sit under the tree and you ponder you ponder all of the things that are on your mind you
291
2667360
6730
44:34
think about them very carefully a phrase we can use to describe this is chew over you
292
2674090
10170
44:44
chew over something if you chew over something it means you consider it you think about it
293
2684260
6579
44:50
you ponder something you chew over something hmm a bit like an animal chewing the grass
294
2690839
11561
45:02
you are chewing something over perhaps a conversation with another person is well maybe there are
295
2702400
7240
45:09
two people thinking about the same thing perhaps you are discussing a certain topic you chew
296
2709640
7689
45:17
over something so two people or more can actually chew over something in fact a group of people
297
2717329
9770
45:27
can think together you can all have your own thoughts and you can share them with each
298
2727099
5841
45:32
other that is something we will look at a little bit later on to chew over something
299
2732940
6730
45:39
is to think about it you think deeply about something hmm
300
2739670
7189
45:46
yes perhaps someone has said something and now you have to go away and think about it
301
2746859
7901
45:54
you have to go away and chew over the subject you have to chew over it you have to decide
302
2754760
14410
46:09
what to do what will be your next move what will you do next
303
2769170
5629
46:14
zuziker hello sid a very interesting question now as you know every sunday i love to sit
304
2774799
11361
46:26
down and watch lieutenant columbo every sunday on television because they always show lots
305
2786160
6899
46:33
of episodes of columbo my favourite tv detective was columbo married yes he had a wife in columbo
306
2793059
11760
46:44
he did yes columbo had mrs columbo so yes he did have a wife and did you know they even
307
2804819
8800
46:53
made it made a tv show for a very short time there was a tv show called mrs colombo and
308
2813619
8361
47:01
it had columbo's wife in the show it did it didn't last very long though because it wasn't
309
2821980
9120
47:11
very good but yes to chew over something can we also say digest over something yes you
310
2831100
9650
47:20
can digest something if you are thinking about it maybe you've had some shocking news maybe
311
2840750
6450
47:27
you've heard some bad news from someone and now you have to digest the information so
312
2847200
10169
47:37
this is not your stomach this is your brain so even your brain must sometimes digest things
313
2857369
10361
47:47
although in your brain of course you digest information you take information in maybe
314
2867730
7139
47:54
you've heard something that is quite shocking and you can't believe it you have to digest
315
2874869
6121
48:00
the information slowly you have to slowly take the information in you have to consider
316
2880990
6480
48:07
slowly what has happened chew over great and of course i like that phrase because it has
317
2887470
10290
48:17
something to do with food you see very nice deliberate deliberate if you deliberate something
318
2897760
9620
48:27
it means you are making a decision so to deliberate is to come up with a decision maybe you have
319
2907380
8919
48:36
a choice to make or a decision to make about a single person or maybe something that is
320
2916299
7132
48:43
happening you deliberate quite often if you have a choice of things and maybe you have
321
2923431
6608
48:50
to choose one thing you will deliberate yes we can also say way up way up if you weigh
322
2930039
11080
49:01
up something it means you are deliberating you are coming to a conclusion you are thinking
323
2941119
6101
49:07
carefully about that thing you are right
324
2947220
5170

3022500
7859
50:30

335
3030359
11321
50:41
very good
336
3041680
12070
50:53
it's very lively on the live stream i've just noticed there are all sorts of
337
3053750
4180
50:57
wonderful fantastic thank you very much by the way jason are you my nephew can i just

341
3084670
8090
51:32
it is just a coincidence yes columbo did have a wife mrs columbo played by it was kate mulgrew
342
3092760
12349
51:45
who later went on to play catherine janeway in star trek voyager this is this information
343
3105109
8401
51:53
is all completely useless but but but i know it it's inside my brain so now you can see
344
3113510
5779
51:59
the sort of thoughts that i have normally so mrs columbo was a tv show that was made
345
3119289
7730
52:07
i think it was in the late 1970s and it was it was not successful they cancelled it but
346
3127019
8371
52:15
mrs columbo was played by the woman who later played captain janeway in star trek voyager
347
3135390
11270
52:26
i know it's it's very strange it seems unlikely but it's true
348
3146660
10470
52:37
yes oh my goodness look at that
349
3157130
5360
52:42
i've just realized we're having a family reunion on here at the moment this is my my nephew
350
3162490
6879
52:49
is here hello jason oh my goodness i can't believe it hello to you nice to see you here
351
3169369
6980
52:56
i'm having a rather touching moment at the moment because it's a family reunion taking
352
3176349
6201
53:02
place so this is my nephew my sister's younger son hello jason nice to see you my brother
353
3182550
7309
53:09
told me that you do this really
354
3189859
3210
53:13
i'm sorry that i'm sorry that you have to see this you see i'm so because i normally
355
3193069
7530
53:20
keep this a secret from everyone no one in my real life knows that i do this because
356
3200599
5671
53:26
they always give me a strange look when they find out that i'm on i'm on youtube they always
357
3206270
6120
53:32
say what what do you do on youtube and i say i talk about english and lots of different
358
3212390
6189
53:38
subjects but they they just look at me with a blank expression
359
3218579
7141
53:45
like that isn't that lovely i do sometimes get family members on my live stream but not
360
3225720
8980
53:54
always we are talking about having thoughts today you can have good thoughts and bad thoughts
361
3234700
11510
54:06
and it is normal to have both of those things contemplate to contemplate something is to
362
3246210
6200
54:12
think something over to think about something you contemplate you think about you consider
363
3252410
7649
54:20
contemplate i contemplate my future so you are sitting maybe at night when everything
364
3260059
8041
54:28
is quiet maybe you are alone and you will contemplate all sorts of things maybe you
365
3268100
6900
54:35
will contemplate your future where am i going with my life what will happen next what does
366
3275000
7210
54:42
my future hold contemplate you can contemplate the meaning of life
367
3282210
7670
54:49
what's it all about contemplate everything so your contemplation can be something simple
368
3289880
5840
54:55
or something very large and vast like the universe are we alone is it just us are we
369
3295720
11849
55:07
the only sentient beings in the galaxy or the universe you see all of those things talking
370
3307569
8381
55:15
of which by the way china at the moment is about to land on mars think about that for
371
3315950
10909
55:26
a moment contemplate that thought and imagination so quite often when we talk about thought
372
3326859
8690
55:35
we talk about thinking we imagine so your imagination is basically your brain running
373
3335549
9320
55:44
free imagination is what happens when your brain goes for a run
374
3344869
8531
55:53
your imagination to think about all sorts of things things that are real things that
375
3353400
6360
55:59
are unreal things that have never existed and some things that might never ever exist
376
3359760
7809
56:07
you see so yeah thought imagination so i would say that i have a very active imagination
377
3367569
7341
56:14
my brain sometimes has has its own life so i like thinking about things but sometimes
378
3374910
10830
56:25
as well i i like to have little thoughts pop in my head and sometimes i will get ideas
379
3385740
6980
56:32
as well for my live streams so sometimes the ideas and the thoughts that i express here
380
3392720
7420
56:40
on my live chat are normally things that have popped in my head my imagination so i think
381
3400140
7490
56:47
i think my imagination is quite good i think i have a very vivid imagination which is very
382
3407630
9020
56:56
useful when you are involved in creativity i think so so if you are thinking about something
383
3416650
8560
57:05
you consider something to think something over you might have to think something over
384
3425210
7359
57:12
maybe a big decision that you have to make perhaps someone has offered you a job maybe
385
3432569
6270
57:18
someone has offered you the most amazing job in the world so now you have to think it over
386
3438839
7811
57:26
you have to think about it shall i take the job yes it sounds like a good job it sounds
387
3446650
7510
57:34
very interesting but maybe maybe the job will be too hard maybe the work will be too difficult
388
3454160
8270
57:42
you have to think something over to wonder wonder to wonder about anything to consider
389
3462430
13530
57:55
think wonder so again it is a little bit like using your imagination you are using your
390
3475960
6440
58:02
imagination to think about maybe one thing or many things you wonder you consider maybe
391
3482400
8699
58:11
you try to work out maybe something that will happen in the future in your life you wonder
392
3491099
6601
58:17
what will happen next i wonder what will happen next i wonder what will happen to me and you
393
3497700
8859
58:26
in the future you wonder about it we are almost at the end
394
3506559
7891
58:34
now this is interesting when we think of thought we often think also of opinions as well so
395
3514450
6609
58:41
your thoughts can often be expressed as opinions something you have in your mind that you consider
396
3521059
11161
58:52
you believe something you follow something you agree with so your opinions and your thoughts
397
3532220
7460
58:59
are quite often the same thing what do you think about this what do you think about that
398
3539680
7609
59:07
your opinions so of course we always have our own opinions about things we always have
399
3547289
6411
59:13
our own thoughts and opinions about everything when you think about it some of the things
400
3553700
5750
59:19
might be very trivial and simple some things that we have opinions on might be very difficult
401
3559450
8500
59:27
technical and controversial even and finally yes i suppose we can also use the word thought
402
3567950
11540
59:39
to mean beliefs your beliefs the things you believe the things you have a belief in you
403
3579490
12329
59:51
believe in something you have a belief some people say that faith is a form of belief
404
3591819
7720
59:59
so your belief can be the thing you follow the thing you believe in the thing that you
405
3599539
7520
60:07
feel comfortable with your convictions are maybe the things that you think are right
406
3607059
9310
60:16
and wrong so everyone has their own opinion about what is right and what is wrong you
407
3616369
7171
60:23
see so your beliefs and your convictions are the things that you believe in and also the
408
3623540
7630
60:31
things that you believe are right and wrong your opinions it is almost time to say goodbye
409
3631170
11879
60:43
but i hope you've enjoyed today's live stream what do you think about my lessons

413
3670600
9269
61:19
are in the right place because i have a feeling that everyone here likes to think about things
414
3679869
6601
61:26
thinking at the moment at least at the moment thinking is not illegal you're still allowed
415
3686470
9670
61:36
to think we haven't got into the 1984 era yet when we talk about 1984 of course i'm
416
3696140
10820
61:46
referring to the book by george orwell where even thought is controlled so we haven't quite
417
3706960
9869
61:56
got to that stage yet some people think we have and some people think we are very near

3802579
13891
63:36
