Virus and Going Viral / English Addict 47 LIVE Lesson / Wed 4th March 2020 / Panic Words and Phrases

hmm some good advice there here we go again oh yes we are back everyone hmm if

you like learning English if you are a big fan of the English language you are

in the right place welcome to another English addict live from the birthplace

of English which just happens to be England

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

I hope so are you happy are you really happy how are you feeling

what a strange period of time to be living through I think a hundred years

from now people will be talking about this particular period of time and they

will be saying things like what the hell was going on here we are once again we

have made it into March and we are here together again to learn a little bit of

English and I and with you once more yes I am with you three times a week by the

way you can catch me on Sunday Wednesday and Friday 2 p.m. UK time is when I'm on

so I hope you are feeling good I know that things in the world at the moment

are a little strange however here is something to cheer you up

here is the view in my garden at the moment

so earlier there were lots of birds feeding in my garden but now of course

they've gone because I've started my livestream this always happens by the

way I've noticed this whenever I turn my camera on the birds vanish I don't know

why it's almost as if they know they are being filmed so there it is outside the

live view I hope later on there will be more birds

we had the woodpecker this morning the woodpecker actually came to feed from

the bird feeder so I was very excited about that however there is no

woodpecker there at the moment here is another view outside just to give you an

idea of what the weather is like today you can see it's a little bit wet we

have a wet day here in the UK lots of rain and it is quite cold

many people staying in today well unless of course they have to go to work

however most people are going about their business as usual however things

might change those moments of normality might suddenly change over the next few days

I suppose the best advice I can give at the moment I suppose the best advice I

can give is don't panic don't panic anyone don't panic don't please calm

down don't panic everyone let's just stay calm talking of which we are

talking about the word panic today because it would appear that a lot of

people are becoming a little bit worried about you know what you know what I'm

talking about that thing that apparently is causing a lot of chaos around the

world I know I'm being a little jokey about it but let's face it it is a very

strange period of time to be living in I must be honest with you it is a very

strange time to be living in so we have you know what a lot of people are

talking about this at the moment a lot of fear a lot of anxiety and of course

the media are getting involved now by telling people all sorts of information

some of the information is very misleading leading of course and causing

more panic so what do you think how are things where you are here in the UK we

are trying to stay calm over the coronavirus however at the moment there

is a lot of misinformation information that is being given out that isn't

strictly true so the only piece of information that probably we need to

know at the moment is to stay clean to keep your hands nice and clean so that

is one of the best ways of protecting yourself against you know what so hello

to everyone nice to see you here today and guess what we have made it we have

almost made it to the middle of the week yes it's Wednesday

mmm a lot of uncertainty in the world at the moment no one really knows what is

going to happen next however I know what is going to happen next here on the live

chat because here we go again hello to everyone on the live chat a big special

hello to Vitesse hello Vitas nice to see you here today

guess what you are first on today's live chat

congratulations apparently in certain countries there is a shortage or it is

being reported that there is a shortage of this apparently in some countries

Japan has been mentioned and also Australia was mentioned this morning as

well apparently people are rushing to the supermarkets and they are buying

lots oh this I don't know why but apparently this is on the list of things

that you need if the coronavirus becomes much worse so

I'm not sure why toilet paper is the most important thing or one of the most

important things because there are other things you can use is well beside this I

suppose you could use kitchen paper so maybe you could get some kitchen rolls

instead and use those in fact I think in some cases maybe using kitchen paper

instead of this might be better you could also use newspaper as well you

could buy your daily newspaper and then later on you can reuse it as toilet

paper so a very strange period of time is occurring what do you think how do

you feel about it do you feel worried do you feel concerned about what is

happening or maybe you are not worried at all of course there are many theories

as to how the coronavirus started however many scientists many researchers

and experts seem to think that this is where the coronavirus started now we are

pretty sure that it started in China however this is where the coronavirus is

supposed to have come from do you recognize this animal it is a Pangolin

and apparently in China this particular animal is

delicacy it is eaten in China and apparently they suspect that this is

where the transmission of the corona virus occurred so it's happened in China

in Wuhan and this apparently is supposed to be the animal where it came from how

it was transmitted from animal to human still remains slightly mysterious I

think it's safe to say that there are many people who don't know what is

happening at the moment with the corona virus however they seem to suspect that

this particular animal is responsible for it nothing surprises me anymore do

you remember in the past we used to get very shocked by things things used to

make us feel very surprised nowadays we seem to get angry over things we always

seem to be in a constant state of outrage however in the past things used

to genuinely shocked us we used to be shocked by things these days it is so

hard to be surprised by anything that happens do you feel the same way as me I

wonder these days it is very hard to be surprised by anything that happens

anything don't forget whatever you do don't panic

don't panic hello everyone its English addict with myself mr. Duncan is my name

by the way for those wondering who the hell is that strange weird man on my

computer monitor at the moment my name is Duncan and I teach English and I have

been doing it for a very long time in fact I think one day I will actually

forget how long I've been doing this for because I've been doing it for so long

so maybe when I'm another 10 years older and my brain begins to fade my memories

begin to slip away perhaps I will forget how long I've been doing this for it's a

long time anyway hello to the live chat hello all so - laughs a nice to see you

here today I'm just I am adjusting my controls I don't know why they seem to

be very far away sweetness hello sweetness nice to see

you here today also black catcher nice to see you here

today sweetness says hello there happy

Wednesday how are you dear mr. Duncan I hope you are doing well I'm okay I can't

complain I will be honest with you christina is here the situation is not

getting better how long will it last I am so worried about it well can I just

say you can stay calm at the moment because you have something nice to watch

however I suppose today's live stream where will not take your mind of what is

happening in the world because I'm going to talk about viruses words connected to

virus and also the way in which that word can be used and what does it mean

when something goes viral what does it mean also we're talking about words

connected with panic panic what does it mean how how can

express the feeling of panic also I thought it would be interesting to talk

about something else this is one of my philosophies of life so this is one of

them one of the things I always like to do every day I always like to learn

something new I make it a rule to tell myself that every day

I have to learn something new one new piece of information however it doesn't

have to be one it can be more than one however I always say that it is good to

learn new things every day so a good question to ask before we get

into the unpleasant stuff what did you learn today have you learned anything

today so far now it doesn't have to be connected to my lessons it can be

anything have you learned something today that

you didn't know yesterday so not just my lessons but anything in life did you

find out something what did you learn today maybe a new piece of information

maybe something new that you've discovered maybe a fact that you weren't

aware of or maybe something you didn't know about yourself so I always tell

myself to learn something new every day whatever it is because then your brain

will stay active and I always believe that learning new

things is a great way of keeping your brain active and also fresh so once

again I will ask you what did you learn today did you learn something new today

something interesting maybe a new fact or maybe a little bit of news that you

didn't know about maybe your neighbor told you about something maybe they gave

you some information you didn't know so what did you learn today

did you learn something new today and if so what is it mog mog is he

Hiroko hello Hiroko nice to see you here Oh pal Mira is here as well

nice to see you as well nice to see you here pal Mira sweetness says I hope you

are all doing well we are okay but don't forget if you are feeling a little

unwell under the weather maybe check with your doctor or perhaps

even stay indoors a new phrase that people are using at the moment self

isolation it's almost become a buzzword over the past few days so people now are

talking about self isolation so what you do is you stay at home you avoid contact

with other people we call it self isolation to be isolated means to be

away and also distant from other people there is no one nearby hello LAN new in

hello teacher and everyone from Vietnam yes I know I

have a lot of people many people now watching in Vietnam can I say a special

hello to everyone watching in Viet now I know I have a lot of people watching

me right now thank you also to Alex D a well-known

English teacher in Vietnam who has been talking about my lessons thank you very

much hello also Irene Luis Mendez is here as

well Marina oh hello - marina how are you

today thank you very much you might notice that my voice sounds a

little dry today for two reasons one it's very hot in the studio and also I

forgot to bring my water so I haven't got my water here in the studio so at

some point I'm going to have to go outside and get my water which is over

there hello Belarus ear I think your hands are quite clean

already stop washing them the skin will be damaged well I suppose you don't have

to wash your hands all the time however after you've been in close contact with

someone or maybe if you've been to the toilets but then I suppose you should be

doing that anyway you should be washing your hands after you go to the toilet

that is obvious very obvious hello are there any loo rolls yes here we go

apparently there is a shortage of toilet paper in Japan and also in Australia

apparently I don't know how true it is but apparently there is a shortage

however however we can also call this loo roll as well loo roll or toilet

paper excuse me can I just disappear over there I'm going to get my water

because I forgot to bring it I'll be back in a moment whilst you're waiting

here are the birds would you like to have a look at the birds oh my goodness

look there are so many birds on the bird

feeder of course the only problem is if I go out of the room I will actually

disturb the birds so then the birds will fly away so you can see there are lots

of birds we have green finches also gold finches can you see the little birds

with the red faces they are called gold finches gold finches so now I'm going to

disturb the birds by walking past the window so see if you can see see if you

can spot the moment when I go past the window you will see all the birds fly

away so I will be back in a moment

I think I can't find my water I don't know where my water has gone how strange

I seem to have lost my water has anyone seen my water hmm so did you spot the

moment when I went past the window and all of birds flew away yes they did

okay I'm back now sorry about that my throat is a little bit dry today because

I've been doing so much talking this week for various reasons which I won't

go into but I have been chatting a lot this week so hello to the live chat once

again we are talking about viruses pachu says what is the status of the corona

virus or as many people are calling it now covered 19 here in the UK I think

there are 50 people now affected directly by corona virus 50 which does

it seem very many when you think about it however the big worry and this is the

reason why people are worried is not the number that are infected now but what

will happen later as those people who have been affected but don't realize it

come into contact with other people so you can see that is the danger that so

the real worry here is people coming into contact with other people who are

infected with the corona virus but they don't realize it so I think that's the

big problem here yes it's rainy today we've had a lot of rain it does not feel

like winter and it certainly doesn't feel like early spring to be honest

Marina says it's so hard with coffered 19 but you are right to joke about it

a bit yes we have to find some some light moment

it's from all the misery you are right and not only that if you thought that

was bad enough guess what guess who's back

yes Crocodile Dundee is coming back Paul Hogan is coming back to our big screen

as Crocodile Dundee Crocodile Dundee is back oh hang on a second no that's not

Crocodile Dundee that's an old leather sofa that's a

piece of old leather covering a sofa no that is Crocodile Dundee he's back

everyone although to be honest with you I can't tell the difference between him

and an old leather sofa yes just when you thought things couldn't get any

weirder Crocodile Dundee is coming back to the big screen

in in a great film apparently called the very excellent mr. Dundee coming to a

cinema near you does anyone actually remember Crocodile Dundee I mean come on

is it the 1980s again so apparently Paul Hogan who plays Crocodile Dundee or used

to in the 1980s has decided to make a new film even though he's about I think

is about 95 now but he is back in a new movie called the very excellent mr.

Dundee and there you can see a picture of the poster you can see also John

Cleese is appearing in the movie as well apparently and also Chevie chase

well-known American comedian so I cannot believe they are bringing back Crocodile

Dundee what do you think do you do you really want to go out and see another

Crocodile Dundee film and I suppose the big question is what

will actually happen in the film because he is getting on a bit now I have a

feeling that the movie will have a lot of de-aging have you heard of that

nowadays if you are an old actor they can actually use computer technology to

make you look young again you can look young and youthful once again so I like

the sound of that to be honest so Crocodile Dundee is coming back and you

thought coronavirus was bad the birds have returned in the garden for those

who are wondering there they're back now they are back you can see the Goldfinch

you can see the blue tits so those are the birds right now in the garden

meanwhile we have a lot of things to talk about today we are talking about

well one of the things I want to talk about is panic panic and one of the

things that we often think of when people panic is well first of all their

behavior changes quite a lot so people start doing strange things and one of

the things that people sometimes do is they start panic buying so you panic

and then you start buying things because you think they are going to disappear so

we say panic buying so when we describe panic buying we are saying that people

become very afraid worried and upset and they go out and buy things that they

think they need panic buying and the reason why people are panicking at the

moment is well it's because of the coronavirus it's in the news it's in the

newspapers it's on the internet people are talking about it all the time

however we can also have a look at the word virus would you like to have a look

here it is the word virus now this is something very technical but I will try

to explain it as slowly as I can an infective agent that typically consists

of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat it is too small to be seen by light

microscopy so when we talk about microscopy we are talking about using a

microscope and quite often if you use a microscope quite often you will need

light also to illuminate the thing you are looking at so it is too small to be

seen by light microscopy and is able to multiply only within the living cells of

a host so a virus is something that lives inside

cells of a host so when we say host it means the body or where the virus

actually is so the person with the virus is the host in their body it is in their

body I don't like the sound of that to be honest I don't like the sound of that

at all also we can say virus as a noun well an infection or disease caused by a

virus so when we say virus it can mean the thing oh it can mean the infection

or disease that is caused by a virus such as the flu virus you are naming a

specific type of virus the virus also as a noun can be a harmful or corrupting

influence a thing that might be harmful a thing that corrupts is a is a thing

that has a bad effect or maybe is a bad influence on other things so we can use

virus in that way as well you can have a computer virus I'm sure at some point in

our lives we have had a computer virus I know I have many years ago when computer

viruses were more common I would often get computer viruses a computer virus a

piece of code which is capable of copying itself and typically has a

detrimental or negative effect such as corrupting the system or destroying data

so yes we can have a computer virus a virus that literally spreads from

computer to computer something can also go viral as well as an adjective so it

is of the nature caused by or relating to a virus all

irises so when something goes viral we are expressing the nature of the thing

that is spreading it has gone viral for example you can have something such

as a video that is gone viral an image video or piece of information circulated

rapidly and widely from one Internet user to another so on the internet quite

often things will go viral they will spread very quickly a viral ad campaign

so maybe an advertisement that lots of people start talking about can also

become viral a lot of people start talking about that particular thing the

video went viral and was seen by millions so something that is gone viral

is something that is spreading around because people are telling other people

about it and let's face it the best place to tell other people about things

is the internet so we can say that something is viral widespread

transmittable or is being transmitted something is contagious or catching it

means the thing is going around it is spreading so we can have a viral video

so a video on YouTube that is very popular and suddenly lots of people

start watching it however I must be honest I can't remember the last time I

saw a viral video on YouTube when was the last time that a video on YouTube

went really viral I can't remember I don't think YouTube has viral videos

anymore do you think so I can't remember the last time I actually saw a viral

video I can't I can't remember at all I remember many

years ago there was a guy called Tay Tay Zonday or Zay Zay tondet is that is that

his name and he had a hit with a song called Chocolate Rain that is one of the

first viral videos that I remember on YouTube and of course there are other

viral videos cool there's charlie bit my finger who remembers that charlie bit my

finger a very popular and well-known viral video for many years ago hello to

everybody Irene is here also marina let's spread

English with mr. Duncan like a good virus yes I think that's a good idea

so of course sometimes telling other people about something or showing other

people things can be good because well it has a good influence

so of course something that is viral can be a good thing may be something that is

offering advice can go viral something that makes a person feel happy or maybe

something that reassures you can go viral and it helps lots of people so yes

for all you English at ik's out there I am here trying to make

English become viral in a nice way Rolfie says apparently the Pope Pope

Francisco is apparently sick as well with some sort of virus now this is

something that I saw in the news a couple of days ago however this morning

when I was flicking through the news on my phone

I noticed that there was a story about the Pope and it said that he's been

tested for coronavirus and it came back negative

so for all those worrying about the Pope the news that I received this morning

was that he was actually negative for coronavirus which is good news for many

people I'm sure I remember viral videos of viral videos called the cold water

challenge oh yes the ice bucket challenge where people

would pour ice cold water over their heads and I think it was for a charity I

think it was some some sort of illness that causes damage to your nerves ALS am

i right there I think so hello Umberto hello also to

Anna also to pal mirror again yes there are many viral videos however these days

I don't think there are so many I don't think there are very many viral videos

these days because there are so many things now on YouTube it is very hard

for one thing to stand out what do you think have you seen a viral video

recently because I I don't think I have not for a long time hello marina

hello also Luis I'm not worried about coronavirus because I think that our

life is like a road and when you take it all the things good or bad are waiting

for you yes I suppose so and that is one of the things about life

you never know what's around the corner something good or something bad might be

waiting for you so here's a good question what did you learn today did

you learn something new about the world around you or maybe something that you

didn't know before maybe a fact or a piece of information or maybe you learnt

something that you didn't know about a person or about yourself

so I always try to learn something new every day even if

it's just one thing self-improvement is always a good route to take in your life

that's what I think anyway hello all so - oh hello - pachu when was

the last time you watched a viral video I can't remember the last firewall video

that I watched because many years ago on YouTube they used to be lots of viral

videos Tay Zonday was that his name I want to say Tay Zonday Chocolate Rain

falling out of the sky do you remember that song and then there was the little

baby who bit his brother's finger charlie bit my finger and there was

another one the sneezing Panda as well the little panda that sneezed that was

very popular so many years ago in the early days of YouTube because I have

been on YouTube for nearly 14 years I had mentioned that today I've learned a

few new words in English says heart Tran hello heart Tran nice to see you here

today I'm teaching English talking about

English hi Lee Kwang says today I learned how to write an essay about

education well then I'm glad that maybe my lessons

perhaps have helped you achieve that goal I hope so thank you also to

Christina I learned to live every moment of life with intensity or intensely

because the future is always uncertain as I always say live every day as if

it's your last because one day you'll be right thank you very much also to Rolfie

yes apparently it is true you can look it up he is sick that is

the Pope but it is not coronavirus so for those who were concerned about what

I said earlier apparently the Pope does not have

coronavirus according to the official report so that's all I can say about

that really thank you very much for your company today nice to see you here

hello also - wow so many people already appearing now so many viral videos can

you remember a viral video can you remember a viral video from YouTube

maybe something that you used to watch a game and again and again so I remember

the Chocolate Rain song oh there was also another song as well that was very

popular about five or six years ago who remembers Monday is it Monday or Friday

Friday Friday Friday I always look forward to Friday it's my day who

remembers that Pham my says hello it's the first time that I've seen you thank

you very much Pham my nice to see you and welcome

and for those who are worried about my voice don't worry don't worry it isn't

it isn't I feel completely well I'm okay it's just that my voice is a little worn

out because I've been using it a lot hello mog mog I have learned English now

in my area and I only have 15 minutes remaining until tomorrow arrives oh I

see so mog mog is preparing to go into tomorrow

don't forget try to learn something new every day even if it's just one thing

something new every day hello sir he thank you very much you are God like me

me please every night I ask myself what was the new thing I learnt today I

always find something and I always find something I could learn to discover I

know it's one of the things I love about life it's one of the things I love about

existing is the fact that there are always new things to discover

I don't know everything there are many things that I don't know for example

yesterday I didn't know that this animal existed

so yesterday I didn't know that this animal was a real thing but now I do and

apparently there is a theory that this is where the corona virus originated in

China because in China apparently this particular animal is a delicacy even

though it is also an endangered animal as well so I didn't know that but now I

do Tania says oh my goodness is it really

episode 47 yes this is 47 episode 47 of English addict I can't believe it

so we will soon be celebrating our 50th episode I'm looking forward to that

Marina says yes there was a viral song called happy oh yes I remember that one

I wanna be happy everyone be happy yes I like that song it was very good thank

you very much thank you to Mohammed fayez who says hey dude is that me thank

you I just subscribe to this channel and now

I'm here to learn English can you help me well that's what I do I am here to

help everyone with their English whatever it may be I will try my best to

help you hello also - Tuan who says you should

have lemonade with honey it is good for your voice I don't know why my voice is

so strange today it's very dry it might also be the weather as well and also the

fact that I'm standing in a very hot studio it's so hot in here as well so

maybe it's a lot of things in the Lithuanian Pangolin is translated into

who eats ants yes because the Pangolin apparently it lives on insects

yes but apparently also some people think that they taste delicious so they

eat them Pedro we see ya oh hello Pedro Pedro Belmont is here but now I think

he's about to go hello Alec Z I read about the pangolins but then it seems

that it was an error by the journalist the virus is similar to covered 19 but

not the same oh I see okay then well this is something that I

I was watching just two nights ago so I think it was on Monday night I was

watching something and they were talking about the Pangolin and they were saying

that this is where they think the corona virus came from how it was transmitted

so maybe maybe that now has been disproved as well but this is one of the

problems that people are facing right now people actually don't know about it

there are many things that people don't understand about this new virus another

thing that people are getting confused by is how long it will take to get a

vaccine so if you have a vaccine then you can vaccinate people to protect them

from the virus just just like flu so many people especially people who are

elderly or people who are young or people who are vulnerable to infection

they will have the flu vaccine so now they are trying to find out if they can

develop a vaccine to protect people from the corona virus however vaccines take a

long time to develop it's not a few weeks it's not a couple of months

sometimes a vaccine can take a very long time to develop because you have to

develop it you have to find out how the virus works and then you have to work

out how you can produce the vaccine as well some vaccines are produced in eggs

did you know that they actually use eggs and grow the virus or the the actual

vaccine in the eggs yes that's it you see learning new things all the time

hi Lee Kwang this animal is in Vietnam and is hunted by many people because of

its skin yes it's terrible isn't it amazing that there are people in the

world who will actually kill an animal just so they can have its skin but then

is it any different from killing an animal for its meat is it any different

or is it just the same very very very weird times Pedro says I

will oh I think Pedro is going somewhere I don't know where Pedro is going but

he's going off somewhere Ralphy says it is like we are living in the movie virus

oh yes I remember that movie it's a very old film I might watch it again

Parise or parisa says hello dear mr. Duncan my husband and I or my husband

Dom and me or listening to you thank you very much Parisa

hello parisa and also hello to your husband as well a big hello from England

welcome nice to see you here Emanuele is going as well I think so Jay says hello

from Belarus I write this message for the first time in the live chat you are

the best English teacher thank you sir Jay and also welcome to my

live chat if it is your first message welcome

I'm trying to keep it happy even though things are looking very strange at the

moment a lot of people are panicking he is something to cheer you up if you are

into computer gaming if you like playing computer games well here is something

that you might like to have in your bedroom

look at this apparently this is a new product that has been developed in Japan

and now you can play your favorite computer games whilst lying in bed so

this particular thing is not only a bed it is also a computer console you have

your monitors you also have your cell phone which is above your head all the

time so this is the new thing that we might be seeing in the bedrooms of many

teenagers here's a closer look so there you can see on the screen you can see

the bed you can also see the computer monitors so you can spend all of your

time in bed whilst playing your favorite computer game what do you think about

that is it a good step or a bad step I mean really you can't spend too much

time doing something really I think so hello also - oh hello Minh Tran hello

teacher you are really cute thank you very much

I'm a little embarrassed now you've made me embarrassed little hello Ralphy hello

also to Marina again there is also another movie with people who catch an

infection called contagion yes and also that's a very good word so a contagion

is something also this spreads like a virus

contagion I like that word very lovely word there thank you very

much for for mentioning that word because I left it out of my list

hello also to Palmyra says I have never played computer games me neither

I can't remember the last time I played a computer game I think it was many many

years ago 20 years ago maybe I think was the last time I played any computer game

so I don't play computer games I don't play anything like that however I do

spend a lot of my time in front of the computer making my English lessons and

also doing this right now so as I stand here talking to you I am

standing in front of my computer and lots of other technology as well hi Lee

Kwang says I wish I could have this computer in the future or this PC this

personal computer so there it is something launched in Japan it is a bed

a computer a computer monitor you even have all of your food nearby there is

everything you could possibly need right next to your bed I'm not sure if it's a

good idea or not I don't know what do you think we are coming up to three

o'clock here in the UK day yeah oh hello day yeah apparently black gotcha

your real name is daya nice to see you here today thank you very much it's nice

to find out what your real name is to be honest sometimes it becomes a little

more personal and friendly Ahmed oh hello

Ahmed Ramadan contagion movie is about the corona virus in 2011 oh I see yes I

haven't seen that particular movie I haven't seen it

hello also to Marwa mara what my her who asks how are things in Syria well you

may have noticed on the news during the past couple of days a lot of things

happening in Syria there is another migrant crisis it is about to occur

where large numbers of people are trying to move from one place to another so

some very serious things happening at the moment there

Cristina says I remember a movie called outbreak with Dustin Hoffman

I remember that one yes again I think that's quite an old movie but yes I I I

remember that one I think that's quite an old one though I think maybe from the

1990s let's have a look at some words shall we okay because the reason why we

are here is to look at words look at phrases and to get some new words into

our brains so at the moment a lot of people are talking about the corona

virus and some people are starting to panic well here is my advice

don't panic please please don't panic don't panic whatever you do please don't

panic can everyone stop panicking so we have we had the virus words and phrases

earlier but now we have some panic words and phrases some panic words and phrases

there are quite a few so please concentrate listen carefully panic words

and phrases well first of all we can use the word alarm if we we feel alarm or if

we feel alarmed it means we are feeling panicky something makes us suddenly

frightened you might panic you will feel alarmed

so alarm is another way of describing panic don't be alarmed there is no need

to panic so if you experience the feeling of alarm you are experiencing

panic panic another one terror as well you can feel terrified

you can feel anxious or worried about something so the feeling of terror can

also be panic it is a type of panic where you will suddenly be afraid of

something or a certain thing might make you feel terrified

so terror can also be used as a synonym of panic terror you feel terror you are

terrified shock can also be a form of panic so you are shocked

you might feel worried about something you start to panic you feel as if you're

going to use your mind because you are so shocked

you start to panic horror here's another one

horror horror is the feeling of suddenly being overwhelmed by fear so quite often

fear and panic are connected so you might feel fear which will then lead to

panic but don't panic there is no need to panic everyone can just calm down

you might also lose control if you lose control it means you stop behaving

normally you stop behaving in a sensible way as I showed you earlier panic buying

panic buying so people lose control they start to panic

they behave in very strange ways they stop behaving normally they start to

panic they lose control

you might also lose your senses as well so you start acting in a very strange

way you start acting as if you've lost your mind you lose your senses you start

to panic you might go into a panic if you go into a panic we are describing

the moment where you are calm but then suddenly you start to panic so you go

into a panic you are calm but suddenly you go into a panic you suddenly start

to worry about things you start to get upset you start to lose your control you

go into a panic here's another one I like this one I like this word you might

freak out if you freaked out it means you lose control once again you

panic you become overwhelmed with panic you start to worry you freaked out you

might also react to something that makes you feel panic so the word freaked out

or the phrase freaked out can mean lose control you lose control of your senses

you freaked out over something I like that one you might become fraught to

become fraught is to become fearful or anxious so you become fraught over

something again an interesting word perhaps you've never seen this word

before we pronounce it fraught fraught you feel anxious you feel worried you

suddenly feel the sense of anxiety you become fraught

we might also describe panic as an overreaction so maybe you over react to

something so overreaction means you react too much to something so something

that makes you panic might be an overreaction there is no need to worry

your overreaction is when you react too much to something so maybe a small thing

happens or something that isn't very important however you might feel that it

is important so you over react so an overreaction is when you react too

strongly to something that is unimportant so sometimes people will

panic over very small things they will get very upset over very small events so

panic can be described as an over reaction you overreact to something I

live the spelling of this word can you see there so that looks like it has been

misspelled however it hasn't that is how you spell overreact all one word it is

one word eric says mr. Steve might lose control once in a while yes you might be

right especially when he's driving his car that's all I'm saying for now pachu

asks do you like watching horror films I do there are some horror films that I

like watching there are some horror films that I don't like watching if you

suddenly become afraid of something or maybe something makes you worry too

much you might go into a panic you suddenly go into a panic you

suddenly start to panic so this phrase is saying you are reacting to something

you are going from calm to afraid you go into a panic you suddenly feel afraid

fearful worried anxious you go into a panic thank you very much for your

messages yes strange things hello strange things it's

a compound noun yes you are you are putting two words together pressing them

together to form one word over react which basically means you are reacting

too much to something too much Deb I Yan asks seriously what is this what is this

man doing well if you have an answer please send it to my email address and I

will read it also when people start to panic there might be panic and I like

this word look at this word can you see it there pandemonium I like that word

very much pandemonium if there is pandemonium it means there is chaos

people are running around afraid there is chaos all around you so you might say

there is panic and pandemonium pandemonium serene snow says I wish

people were more like people in the fifth fifties and sixties we are all

stuck here we just have to make the best of it serene

Oh wishes that the 1960s and also the 1950s would come back however I'm not

sure if the 1950s were were really a good time to be alive there were lots of

bad things happening in the 1950s lots of things happening hello - oh hello -

Mohammed fires will you watch adult movies when you say adult movies what do

you mean by adult movies I think I know what you mean but what do you mean panic

attack I know all about this because for many years I used to suffer from panic

attacks it's true it might not seem like a real thing but I used to get terrible

panic attacks where suddenly my body would react to nothing it would feel as

if I was going into some sort of shock so my body would suddenly start to

overreact to nothing around me my heart would start to go very quick and fast

and race away I would start to sweat and parts of my body would start to twitch

and tremble and I would have a panic attack horrible thing so have you ever

suffered from a panic attack it's a horrible experience it actually

feels is if you're about to die that's what you think in your brain you feel as

if your life is about to end when you have a panic attack it's a horrible

horrible thing so a panic attack is something that can affect many people

some people have it for many years some people have it for a short time I

had it after I came back from China when I was living here in the UK because I

found it very hard to readjust to life back here in the UK so I used to

suffer from terrible panic attacks horrible here is the thing I mentioned

earlier panic buying if you buy whilst panicking we call it panic buying as we

have seen on the news apparently this this particular thing can you see what's

happened there it's I've started to unroll my toilet paper but unfortunately

it hasn't unrolled properly I hate it when it does that they hate it when

toilet paper does that it's it's it's unrolled but it's unrolled in a strange

Road and roll so there is a apparently panic buying at the moment of this

particular thing toilet roll toilet paper to do oh I know what I'm gonna do

yes I love having this power I love it I have the power a shortage makes

scrambling but sharing will leave a surplus I like that yes I like that

phrase that's nice yes so sharing can leave a surplus

however buying too much of one thing will leave a shortage which you can see

in this photograph

look at that so you can see this poor lady she is trying to buy her groceries

but unfortunately the shelves are completely empty

unfortunately there is virtually no food left on the shelves apparently here in

the UK what we tend to do we often buy bread and milk so quite often if we

think that something bad is about to happen

we often rush to the supermarket and we'll we will buy lots of bread and also

lots of milk as well so we see those things as very important very important

things strange things asks mr. Duncan do you do your classes every day my classes

are with you on and you can see it here Sunday Wednesday and Friday 2:00 p.m. UK

time so I am with you three times a week you can catch me live on Sunday

Wednesday and Friday 2:00 p.m. UK time and I suppose I should also mention that

you can like and subscribe so if you like what you see please subscribe it's

gone thank you very much for your company today we are looking at words

connected to panic panic we had panic buying and now we can say that a person

will go into panic mode so we are using this as a phrase that means the state or

the action of panicking so you go into panic mode something that happens that

suddenly makes you panic causes you to go into panic mode it's almost like

programming a computer so your brain suddenly starts to work in a different

way you start to panic in your mind you go into panic mode mode

just means type so your panic behavior or the way you are behaving so panic

behavior panic mode you switch to panic mode you start to panic over what is

happening okay then this is very interesting I like this one you might

run around you might run around like a headless chicken run around like a

headless chicken this particular phrase means that you panic you can occur over

something something makes you panic something makes you run around scared

and afraid you run around like a headless chicken apparently I've never

tried this I've never tried to cut the head off a chicken but apparently

sometimes if you cut the head off a chicken the body will run around for a

few moments I'm not sure if it's true or not I don't know but apparently there is

a phrase a great phrase in English you run around like a headless chicken you

run around like a chicken that has had its head cut off

you might freak out over something you freak out over something people are

freaking out so you might say that because of the coronavirus people are

now starting to freak out they are freaking out over this

unbelievable urn believable so panicking can take many forms we can also get a

person to stop panicking so maybe your friend is starting to panic because of

something or maybe your friend is starting to lose control of their senses

and you might say please calm down calm down it's okay there is no need to panic

don't panic calm down everything will be all right please please calm down calm

down you might have to tell your friend to calm down because they are getting

very anxious about something you might have to tell everyone maybe there is a

news report where perhaps the president or the prime minister of a country might

urge everyone to stay calm we urge everyone to stay calm please stay calm

don't panic we urge everyone to stay calm here's another one there is no need

to panic there is no need to panic so everyone please relax calm down there

is no need to panic there is no need to get upset over

something there is no need to panic and all we have one more I like this one

this is a good piece of advice remain calm remain calm if you remain calm it

means you stay calm you don't worry you don't get upset and

most importantly of all you don't panic

don't panic please everyone please don't panic don't panic so remain

calm keep your head don't panic don't lose

your head stay calm and relaxed talking of relaxing things would you like to see

something relaxing right now look at that the view in my garden at the moment

and also the view from my window as well right now there you can see it is

raining at the moment here in the UK however spring is on its way

spring is coming are you excited about springtime I know not every country in

the world has spring however some countries do whilst others don't and

there you can see the view of my garden with the lovely birds looking very happy

even though it's raining it's almost time for me to go today but what did you

learn today did you learn anything new from my lesson so I will ask this

question before I go what did you learn today did you learn anything new from my

lesson or maybe you learnt something new away

from my lesson maybe you learned something new about yourself maybe there

was a piece of information that you didn't know before that you do now what

did you learn today look two three who I believe is watching in Vietnam says keep

calm and try to relax I will try my best to relax I need to find a legal paper

but I got really crazy around the whole house and I couldn't find it quite a

loop can I just say two things first of all

I didn't know your name is also a Caribbean island and also don't you hate

it when you can't find something it happens to me all the time

there is always something in my studio that I need and then suddenly I can't

find it so quite often I will put something down especially especially my

pen quite often I will lose my pen and I can't find it anywhere I don't know why

but sometimes my pen just disappears it just vanishes into thin air I don't know

how or why so yes there is something very annoying about losing things I hate

losing things there is nothing worse than losing something and then you start

to panic because you can't find it you start to freak out because you can't

find the thing you are looking for Marwa says I have learned the words related to

panic and also being calm ok that's good so those are the things that you've

learned from today's lesson thank you very much thank you very much for your

company today yes we have learned more words about virus and panic

thanks a lot mr. Duncan I am feeling better after your lesson

well can I just say that I am NOT panicking at the moment I'm not worried

too much and of course the best piece of advice I can offer you the best advice

that there is that I can offer you right now if I can find it

here it is Keep Calm and wash your hands Keep Calm and wash your hands that I

think is the best advice that I can give today Keep Calm but don't forget to wash

your hands that is one of the best ways of

protecting yourself from the coronavirus and it will keep you fit and healthy

which is a good thing when you think about it hello's that seeker

oh.hello said seeker nice to see you here as well it is not easy to relax not

at all but I will try my best well a lot of people do live in a state

of anxiety and worry stress is something that many people suffer from nowadays so

a lot of people in the world now suffer from stress so I'm pretty

sure that the coronavirus will make some people very nervous and afraid however

before I leave you today I would like to read to you my little poem that I wrote

this morning in bed I'm not joking I actually wrote this poem in bed after

opening my eyes on a new day here it is so here is my lovely little poem before

I go let the first thing you think as you wake in your bed be the happiest

thought that exists in your head don't let it fade or slip away keep that

memory nearby and rest assured and without a doubt you'll be ready to face

a new day and that is where I will leave you so I hope you have plenty of toilet

paper I hope you have plenty of food nearby although I do have a feeling that

we might not need to panic quite so much at the moment however who knows what the

future holds who knows thank you very much Pat Chu thank you also to Ana thank

you to everyone here in Egypt in my country at the moment we have some hot

chocolate which is called corona yes there is also a beer a type of beer

called corona as well by the way the word Kara

no means crown because the coronavirus looks like it has lots of little crowns

on it in fact I think I have a picture of the coronavirus right here here it is

so there it is so you can see the corona virus has lots of little crowns all

around it up there you can see crowns so that is the reason why the corona virus

has its name because you can see there are lots of crowns on top of the corona

virus and that's the reason why we have it thank you very much for your company

today I hope you've enjoyed this lesson and I hope very soon we can all say

goodbye to the corona virus I really do thank you Eric

thank you also to Luis Mendez Irene umberto also now Rima thank you very

much for joining me today as we come up towards the end of today's livestream I

hope you've enjoyed it I hope you all stay safe as well

wash your hands it's the best way to keep yourself safe

apparently oh look quickly before we go right there look the birds are now very

busy on the bird feeder one of the reasons why the birds are very busy

eating in my garden is because there isn't much food around at the moment so

there aren't any insects there is very little for the birds to eat so needless

to say the birds are very excited to come into my garden thank you also to

Valentin oh hello Valentin I didn't see you here

today hello whilst the coronavirus is out and about

you'll never get completely relaxed and feel safe

I suppose so yes there might always be a little feeling in your mind of

worry or anxiety but of course it isn't the worry it is how you deal with it

that is important that's what I think anyway so I will try my best not to

worry of course the main thing with what I do is is that I can stay at home so

even if the virus becomes really bad I will still be here during my live

lessons so even if I have to self isolate myself in the house it means I

can still do my live streams so it won't affect me very much at all and of course

if you have to self isolate then you can watch my live streams as well so I think

I will continue making these video lessons and these live streams even if

things do become worse or get bad so that's all I can say
