and it is a soggy Saturday outside the weather today is very miserable gloomy
19
871400
9910
14:41
maybe some people might say that today is overcast and gray well they would be
20
881310
8250
14:49
right because today is a little bit gloomy outside to say the least
21
889560
4950
14:54
there is the view in the garden now the garden is looking rather green I'm sure
22
894510
5610
15:00
you can see just as I can that the garden is looking rather nice at the
23
900120
4830
15:04
moment everything has come out all of the leaves are now out you can see many
24
904950
7440
15:12
of the trees in the distance have their leaves as well so everything is looking
25
912390
6030
15:18
rather nice at the moment in the garden and into the distance you will see just
26
918420
5970
15:24
how grey everything is so we have lots of grey skies lots of rain this morning
27
924390
7790
15:32
however it isn't as windy as yesterday yesterday was very windy but today it is
28
932180
6970
15:39
not too bad despite the gray clouds and also the
29
939150
6660
15:45
rain as well which is why I am back in the studio I thought we would do
30
945810
6660
15:52
something slightly more normal today so we are doing something a little more
31
952470
6300
15:58
normal whatever that is and one of the things
32
958770
4080
16:02
we are talking about today is believe it or not
33
962850
3840
16:06
normality what is normal mr. Duncan you are giving us some food
34
966690
10010
16:16
for thought oh I like that expression when we say food for thought we are
35
976700
7020
16:23
talking about something that is given for us to consider or think about
36
983720
6440
16:30
carefully hmm food for thought
37
990160
5820
16:35
something maybe some information that you are given it makes you think oh yes
38
995980
8400
16:44
hmm that is food for thought it is something that has been offered or
39
1004380
8830
16:53
mentioned maybe something you have read that makes you think carefully about a
40
1013210
6060
16:59
certain subject it is food for thought by the way if you want captions you can
41
1019270
7140
17:06
all you have to do is press C on your keyboard and guess what you can have
42
1026410
6660
17:13
captions live I don't believe it it's incredible mr. Duncan how is that even
43
1033070
6480
17:19
possible well you can say thank you to YouTube because of their wonderful
44
1039550
5370
17:24
technology you can now have live captions so that is how you do it for
45
1044920
8640
17:33
those wondering who I am my name is mr. Duncan and I'm an English
46
1053560
5160
17:38
teacher I've been doing this on YouTube for ever such a long time a very long
47
1058720
6810
17:45
time indeed and that is my name and during these past 2 or 3 weeks in fact
48
1065530
7020
17:52
it might be almost a month I've been doing these live streams every single
49
1072550
6780
17:59
day so I've actually been with you every day can you believe it for quite a while
50
1079330
5550
18:04
I've been here doing this every single day we are talking about what is normal
51
1084880
10590
18:15
what is normal when we talk about things that are normal how are we expressing
52
1095470
6420
18:21
that word are there more than one way to describe or Express
53
1101890
9560
18:31
what is normal so that coming up later you might notice already today
54
1111450
5850
18:37
that I have a slightly bad throat so my my throat at the moment is feeling very
55
1117300
9930
18:47
rough around the edges and that is because of well two things first of all
56
1127230
6750
18:53
I've been using my voice for many many days without a rest so I think my voice
57
1133980
6540
19:00
is starting to wear out also the other thing is I have been suffering from hay
58
1140520
6720
19:07
fever over the past few days when I say hay fever it has nothing to do with
59
1147240
8630
19:15
nothing to do with that okay hay fever it is completely separate it
60
1155929
6191
19:22
is nothing to do with that particular thing it is something I get every single
61
1162120
6090
19:28
year it is seasonal it is something that I get every year so at the moment my my
62
1168210
7170
19:35
voice is feeling very sensitive and maybe even worn out because I've been
63
1175380
8370
19:43
using my voice so much over the past few days hello to the live chat I should not
64
1183750

66
1197190
7440
20:04
is very hard to stay happy maybe you are having bad days maybe sometimes you
67
1204630
7350
20:11
think oh I can't stand this situation however I will be here and I will try my
68
1211980

1291350
6610
21:37
moment nice to see you franceska is here yes I was slightly late today for which
78
1297960
8640
21:46
I apologize but I was very busy this morning also my voice is starting to
79
1306600
6870
21:53
disappear I think I've been using my voice so much over the past few days so
80
1313470
5400
21:58
I think maybe that is the reason why hello also Irene knew in min hello to
81
1318870
8730
22:07
you thank of your thank you very much for your compliment on my view thank you
82
1327600
6300
22:13
very much ari is here apparently it is very sunny in Norway okay fair enough
83
1333900
10250
22:24
unfortunately here in the UK we don't have any sunshine today despite the fact
84
1344150
7300
22:31
that over the last few days we have had a lot of sunshine and it will be
85
1351450
6390
22:37
returning next week the weather forecast for next week is very nice and warm and
86
1357840
8100
22:45
sunny next week so I would imagine that at some point next week I will be
87
1365940
6390
22:52
in the garden again today we are in the house we are right here in the studio in
88
1372330
7050
22:59
front of my big book case do you like my book case isn't it beautiful
89
1379380
5790
23:05
all of the books behind me Wow mr. Jenkin have you ever read all of those
90
1385170
5640
23:10
books maybe perhaps so at the moment there is a great trend with people who
91
1390810
8250
23:19
are appearing on their web camera they are all in front of bookcases I don't
92
1399060
6330
23:25
know why they do it but I would imagine they put the bookcase behind them or
93
1405390
5640
23:31
maybe they position their camera in front of the bookcase and then when they
94
1411030
5790
23:36
are sitting there talking about their subject or maybe the thing they are
95
1416820
4920
23:41
discussing they look intelligent people will think oh look at that person they
96
1421740
8070
23:49
have lots of books behind them I think they must be very clever maybe maybe not
97
1429810
8100
23:57
so I've got my lovely big bookcase behind me I also have something else
98
1437910
6360
24:04
with me today can you see what I have here next to me Oh something that was
99
1444270
9650
24:13
delivered to my house this morning something that came through the post so
100
1453920
6940
24:20
my postman knocked the door and then he ran away so that apparently is what they
101
1460860
7140
24:28
are doing now so when the postman when the postman comes to your house he
102
1468000
5820
24:33
knocks the door and then he runs away he just leaves all of your packages on the
103
1473820
6690
24:40
doorstep so that is what happens here in the UK when the postman comes to your
104
1480510
5010
24:45
door when the postman arrives he will he will knock the door and then run away
105
1485520
12110
24:57
that is how we are doing it during these strange times so this came through my
106
1497630
6730
25:04
door this morning I had a really nice surprise do you like
107
1504360
6630
25:10
surprises I know sometimes surprises can be nice
108
1510990
4440
25:15
things and also they can be nasty things so a nice surprise nasty surprise nasty
109
1515430
9630
25:25
something that is horrible something that makes you feel unhappy something
110
1525060
5940
25:31
that comes your way and makes you feel upset something nasty something horrible
111
1531000
6780

lovely but that bird is not real well I know it's not real I can tell that I
131
1689650
6840
28:16
know it's not real because I keep trying to feed it and it never takes any of the
132
1696490
5040
28:21
food also it doesn't poop which actually might be a good thing when you think
133
1701530
5759
28:27
about it so this is my little present the gift that I received this morning as
134
1707289
5611
28:32
a nice surprise and as I said surprises sometimes can be nice or not so nice
135
1712900
10370
28:43
hello to Anna pica hello also to
136
1723270
11370
28:57
Evangelina hello Evangelina now I can't see all of the posts on the live chat at
137
1737730
6939
29:04
the moment so I can only see some of the live chat here on my phone so hello once
138
1744669
6781
29:11
again to Evangelina nice to see you back as well partridge eaves mr. Duncan I am
139
1751450
7200
29:18
suffering from a headache due to using the phone too much tell me how much I
140
1758650
6029
29:24
should use the phone and how much you use it well I never and this is
141
1764679
6240
29:30
something now I don't want to start talking about all of these strange
142
1770919
3841
29:34
things that people are talking about at the moment you know what I'm on about
143
1774760
4700
29:39
things that are nothing like that however I don't like to use anything
144
1779460
9930
29:49
like a mobile phone or anything too close to my head so even if I use my
145
1789390
5919
29:55
mobile phone if I use my cell phone I always use it hands-free so I have the
146
1795309
6301
30:01
speaker on so I can hear the person without putting the phone to my ear so
147
1801610
7169
30:08
that's how I tend to do it normally when I use my phone if it is my cell phone or
148
1808779
5941
30:14
of course in the house we have telephones that have no no wire so they
149
1814720
6179
30:20
are cordless phones I never use that near my head so to be honest with you
150
1820899
7160
30:28
from my point of view I never put anything too close to my head I never
151
1828059
5500
30:33
put a cell phone or a cordless phone I never have them near my head anyway just
152
1833559
6931
30:40
for safety reasons just because I like to be cautious
153
1840490
5220
30:45
so that's why the other thing that I'm a little concerned with the other thing
154
1845710
4740
30:50
that I sometimes think that doesn't seem right
155
1850450
2760
30:53
have you seen those little head buds or earbuds that you put in your ears and
156
1853210
6660
30:59
they are Wireless but they are right next to your brain so that's the other
157
1859870
5490
31:05
thing I don't know if they are safe or not I'm not saying that they are not
158
1865360
4679
31:10
safe can we just make that clear however I always feel a little anxious when I
159
1870039
6331
31:16
see people with those earbuds in their ears and there are no cables so there
160
1876370
7770
31:24
there must be some sort of radio frequency going around near their head I
161
1884140
5909
31:30
know they are Bluetooth connected so maybe that is not so bad
162
1890049
4531
31:34
but I do like to be careful sometimes I'm not paranoid before anyone says mr.
163
1894580
5940
31:40
Duncan you are just paranoid I'm not so these are things that I just like to be
164
1900520
4620
31:45
careful of not because I am paranoid so I don't
165
1905140
5550
31:50
have any problem with mobile phones or mobile phone signals I just don't like
166
1910690
6840
31:57
to put two things too close to my head because I I like my brain my brain is a
167
1917530
7920
32:05
very important thing to me even though it doesn't really serve any purpose I
168
1925450
6680
32:12
still treasure my brain quite a lot so I hope that answers your question
169
1932130
6450

42:17
good news coming up about a certain type of bird here in this country would you
254
2537559
5911
42:23
like to find out what it is now okay we will do it now all right I don't mind I
255
2543470
5160
42:28
will tell you now what it is so here is one particular bird this is a type of
256
2548630
5399
42:34
bird that is quite common however many years ago there used to be many of these
257
2554029
8790
42:42
birds but over the past 20 years this particular bird has started to disappear
258
2562819
5960
42:48
for various reasons one of the main reasons is the use of land for farming
259
2568779
7750
42:56
and also pesticides things that are put on the crops to help them grow better so
260
2576529
9421
43:05
this particular bird is a house sparrow house
261
2585950
5560
43:11
and today it was announced that the House Sparrow has become more common
262
2591510
6600
43:18
once more so apparently their numbers have increased and the House Sparrow you
263
2598110
8730
43:26
can see at the moment on your screen that is a male House Sparrow and they
264
2606840
5130
43:31
are quite common across the UK I remember as a child I would also I would
265
2611970
5700
43:37
always see and hear the house sparrows singing and you would see them flying
266
2617670
8310
43:45
around the houses so they were a very common sight house sparrows and here you
267
2625980
7710
43:53
can see two house sparrows the one on the left is the male and the one on the
268
2633690
7320
44:01
right is the female so a pair of house sparrows so there is some nice news some
269
2641010
8280
44:09
good news the house sparrows are starting to make a comeback there are
270
2649290
6660
44:15
more and more house sparrows appearing across the UK which i think is pretty
271
2655950
7350
44:23
good news it sure is definitely Abdellah why is the weather always bad in the UK
272
2663300
12230
44:35
it isn't always bad for the past few days I've been in my garden in the
273
2675530
5440
44:40
sunshine we've had some amazing weather here in the UK during the past few days
274
2680970
6510
44:47
and also next week it's going to get very warm and very sunny again so if you
275
2687480
6540
44:54
watch me next week you will see that we don't always have rain we don't always
276
2694020
6420
45:00
have great clouds in the UK sometimes we have sunshine we have warmth as well so
277
2700440
7680
45:08
not everything is gloomy and gray here in the UK thank you very much
278
2708120
7970
45:19
though it isn't episode 75 today it is episode 62 of English addict you see so
279
2719310
8650
45:27
this is actually one of my English addict lessons it isn't one of my
280
2727960
4890
45:32
strange times lessons because we are living through very strange times
281
2732850
5430
45:38
however we are at episode 62 of English addict you see
282
2738280
8570
45:46
hello also Anna I prefer you with the white shirt and tie
283
2746850
5350
45:52
you look really elegant that way thank you very much
284
2752200
5610
45:57
I like to look smart I remember many years ago when I was working in another
285
2757810
5210
46:03
profession I always had to wear my shirt and tie I
286
2763020
4150
46:07
always like to look smart so if you are trying to give a professional appearance
287
2767170
7830
46:15
or maybe you want people to feel comfortable with your presence
288
2775000
5850
46:20
sometimes you have to look smart sometimes you have to wear nice clothes
289
2780850
4740
46:25
so that's what I'm doing today and normally when I do my English addict
290
2785590
5190
46:30
lessons I always wear my white shirt and my purple tie it is purple honestly it
291
2790780
8610
46:39
isn't pink it's purple hello ts did you know that episode 62 of English addict
292
2799390
12560
46:51
62 is also the international phone code for Indonesia and also I know that the
293
2811950
7600
46:59
code for the UK is 44 that is true so if you are calling the UK from another
294
2819550
7350
47:06
country you have to put plus 44 in front of the number and if you are calling
295
2826900
7910
47:14
Indonesia you have to put plus 62 so that is the international dialing code
296
2834810
8590
47:23
so quite often you will have to put a code in front of your phone number if
297
2843400
4530
47:27
you are calling a place that is outside your
298
2847930
5149
47:33
area Evangelina mr. Duncan there is nothing good about the news from my
299
2853079
7240
47:40

2860319
7260
47:47

301
2867579
6840
47:54

304
2889929
5400
48:15

305
2895329
10830

49:38
I suppose I always try to look on the bright side I always try to be positive
318
2978999
5820
49:44
in everything I do I know that the world is not perfect I
319
2984819
4290
49:49
know that good things happen and bad things happen I am very aware of that
320
2989109
5571
49:54
maybe I am more aware than you realize just how bad things can be sometimes so
321
2994680
8320
50:03
yes it is happening at the moment everyone is having a bad time however I
322
3003000
4559
50:07
always try to keep positive I always try to find something something to keep me
323
3007559
5461
50:13
occupied something to do something to keep my interest and of course I realize
324
3013020
5370
50:18
also that not everything in the world is bad there are lots of good things as
325
3018390
5100
50:23

340
3119430
3540
52:02
voice is also going because I've been using it so much over the past 20 30
341
3122970
7100
52:10
days that is the real problem I think I've been using my voice too much it's
342
3130070
10570
52:20
very good news about the House Sparrow it is so more and more house sparrows
343
3140640
5220
52:25
are now flying around here in the UK after a long period of their numbers
344
3145860
6930
52:32
starting to decline so there used to be many many house sparrows a very common
345
3152790
7290
52:40
sight during my childhood however over the past 20 years their numbers have
346
3160080
6870
52:46
dropped a lot however there are many reappearing so that's good very good
347
3166950
8280
52:55
news my fam mr. Duncan your voice is very nice thank you very much it's very
348
3175230
6510
53:01
kind of you to say mr. Duncan I have a question is the word Direction
349
3181740
10250
53:11
pronounced two ways I've only really hear heard Direction direction although
350
3191990
9040
53:21
you might hear some people say direction so it is very similar to neither and
351
3201030
6420
53:27
neither direction you might hear some people say direction direction so
352
3207450
9890
53:37
Direction direction so there might be a difference and quite often that depends
353
3217340
7690
53:45
on the accent it really does depend on which accent is being used Helena I hope
354
3225030
11040
53:56
all is okay with your tooth I think that is a message for Lewis I think so hello
355
3236070
9750
54:05
also 2t hung new Winn who says I love the British accent thank you very much
356
3245820
8489
54:14
please to hear that I know I know nowadays because a lot of people are are
357
3254309
5660
54:19
subjected or they watch a lot of American television a lot of people
358
3259969
7750
54:27
think oh I think the American accent is much better however there are people who
359
3267719
4650
54:32
still like the British accent even though quite often in movies especially
360
3272369
7220
54:39
American movies quite often the villain or the bad person is British I've never
361
3279589
8291
54:47
understood that why do British people and why does the
362
3287880
4199
54:52
British accent make such a good bad person or a villain so if you have a
363
3292079
7770
54:59
villain or a bad person in a movie or TV show and they have a British accent for
364
3299849
6930
55:06
some reason it's it's more sinister it's more threatening I don't know why why is
365
3306779
6121
55:12
the British accent used so often when there is a villain or a bad person in a
366
3312900
8279
55:21
movie Vitesse do you know that song thrush belongs to the Blackbird family
367
3321179
6060
55:27
their call quite often is very similar as well so I know from experience I've
368
3327239
6990
55:34
been walking around at night and I've seen lots of birds in the trees and I've
369
3334229
5700
55:39
heard what I thought was a song thrush but when I look up it isn't it's
370
3339929
8461
55:48
actually a blackbird so sometimes you can mistake the song of a blackbird for
371
3348390
6179
55:54
a song thrush and also vice versa the other way around
372
3354569
5780
56:00
hello also to Ana pica mr. Duncan this morning I saw your livestream recorded
373
3360349
6250
56:06
last year concerning marriage and I saw mr. Steve was dressed like a bride it
374
3366599
9900
56:16
was too funny really I remember that that seems like such a long time ago can
375
3376499
7800
56:24
you believe this year it will be four years
376
3384299
4171
56:28

377
3388470
7260
56:35

378
3395730
7140
56:42

379
3402870
6480
56:49
it flies by so quickly Evangelina mr. Duncan did you like the birds and are
380
3409350
8850
56:58
you feeding them but please be careful because they make a lot of dirt this is
381
3418200
4800
57:03
true and that is one of the things that people say about birds especially if you
382
3423000
4650
57:07
like to attract birds to your garden you have to make sure that you clean the
383
3427650
6240
57:13
mess that they make so I am always aware that sometimes birds can be a little
384
3433890
7250
57:21
messy I think we will leave it at that but you know what I'm talking about poop
385
3441140
11190
57:32
hello also to Ana I've always loved your your love of nature and I love nature
386
3452330
5350
57:37

387
3457680
6500
57:44

388
3464180
6400
57:50
do some filming so yes many many years ago I was doing that and to be honest
389
3470580
6180
57:56

390
3476760

61:41
do you ever find yourself stricken with shyness do you ever feel shy would you
423
3701630
8110
61:49
describe yourself as a shy person it would be fair to say that we all feel a
424
3709740
5490
61:55
little shy from time to time there are certain situations where shyness might
425
3715230
5580
62:00
affect you perhaps you are meeting someone for the first time even worse
426
3720810
5820
62:06
perhaps you are about to meet many people who you don't know they say that
427
3726630
5699
62:12
loneliness is a crowded room and for a shy person this is very true we often
428
3732329
7441
62:19
equate nervousness with being shy you might not know what to say in certain
429
3739770
6750
62:26
situations which can lead to the appearance of being shy a lack of
430
3746520
6510
62:33
confidence in certain situations can lead to an attack of shyness we often
431
3753030
5910
62:38
position shy alongside awkward in a sentence a shy person might be described
432
3758940
6750
62:45
as apprehensive bashful coy retiring and timid a shy person might find themselves
433
3765690
12120
62:57
being accused of being antisocial or standoffish as their silence can
434
3777810
5789
63:03
sometimes be misinterpreted as arrogance or conceitedness I know this because it
435
3783599
7980
63:11
has happened to me I can sometimes be quite shy in certain situations which
436
3791579
7020
63:18
can lead to some people asking what's the deal with your friend Duncan he
437
3798599
5701
63:24
won't speak to anyone he seems a bit arrogant to me no I'm not being arrogant
438
3804300
7680
63:31
or stuck-up all conceited I'm just a little bit shy that's all
439
3811980
8810
63:50
have you ever taken part in a contest or competition and after the result or
440
3830279
5230
63:55
winner has been announced you feel cheated you find yourself thinking that
441
3835509
5941
64:01
perhaps the winner was chosen for a reason perhaps you felt that the
442
3841450
5369
64:06
competition was rigged or fixed to rig something means to arrange a situation
443
3846819
6660
64:13
in such a way that the result is assured to rig something is to cheat and fix a
444
3853479
7711
64:21
game or contest to go one particular way for example in a talent show the winner
445
3861190
7349
64:28
might turn out to be a relative of one of the judges this might lead people to
446
3868539
5940
64:34
think that the contest was rigged or fixed in sport a boxing match can be
447
3874479
7530
64:42
rigged so as to allow people to place heavy bets on the winner one of the
448
3882009
6030
64:48
boxes taking part in the match is paid to take a fall so as to ensure that the
449
3888039
6930
64:54
other one wins almost anything can be rigged or fixed so as to give someone an
450
3894969
6570
65:01
advantage or a definite chance of winning
451
3901539
5780
65:19
the world of English is indeed a fun and exciting place to be but it can also be
452
3919170
6490
65:25
confusing for those learning the language some English words especially
453
3925660
4830
65:30
can create confusion and lead to mistakes being made a good example of
454
3930490
6329
65:36
this confusion is the similarity between the words momentum and memento they seem
455
3936819
7500
65:44
to be related but in fact they are not in physics the word momentum relates to
456
3944319
6841
65:51
the quantity of motion of an object based on its mass and speed that is to
457
3951160
7590
65:58
say how heavy and how fast it can travel is related to the amount of energy it
458
3958750
5970
66:04
can create this energy is classed as potential which relates to what the
459
3964720
7260
66:11
object can do for example the weight and speed of a rolling rock will give you
460
3971980
7289
66:19
its potential energy value the movement is its momentum the force and thrust
461
3979269
8371
66:27
created is called impetus movement is impetus momentum can also relate to the
462
3987640
8520
66:36
driving force or impetus of a course of events how one action or event can have
463
3996160
6990
66:43
an effect on other things the size of the effect and how long it will last
464
4003150
5899
66:49
relates to its momentum the discussion of a controversial topic will gain
465
4009049
7151
66:56
momentum as more people become involved
466
4016200
4790
67:03
the word memento refers to an object that has been kept as a reminder of a
467
4023569
6460
67:10
past event a memento is a souvenir it is something that has been put aside as a
468
4030029
7260
67:17
treasured possession a keepsake is a memento a photograph taken at a special
469
4037289
7320
67:24
event can be a memento something bought during a trip to a
470
4044609
5731
67:30
particular place is a memento so as you can see the words momentum and memento
471
4050340
7710
67:38

4124950
7710
68:52

4132660
9150
69:01

480
4141810
5909
69:07
have collected over the years so I love it I love this bird so much I
481
4147719
5310
69:13
can't begin to tell you how happy and excited I was when I saw this this
482
4153029
5460
69:18
morning I really cannot begin to tell you mr. Duncan can I say what a look
483
4158489
5691
69:24
what a look if not which case can I use we can say what a lucky so we can say
484
4164180
10750
69:34
looky what our lucky coincidence what a lucky chance what a lucky moment but we
485
4174930
10500
69:45
don't say what a look because we don't need to we don't see look as something
486
4185430
5490
69:50
that is one single thing so look is general so you generally say look I have
487
4190920
6780
69:57
lots of look which means that good things tend to happen look so not look
488
4197700
8150
70:05
with your eyes look as in you have good look or bad look
489
4205850
7740
70:13
so we say we don't say a look we have good look we have good look we have good
490
4213590
7840
70:21
look bad look we can say that you are lucky a purse
491
4221430
6440
70:27

71:00
I've opened my window even though it's raining outside and there is the view
497
4260660
4560
71:05
outside at the moment so it's looking very miserable very glum and gray
498
4265220
6270
71:11
outside it is a definite contrast to the weather that we've had over the past few
499
4271490
8610
71:20
days the weather over the past few days has been incredible and there is another
500
4280100
5490
71:25
view in the garden you can see that many of the leaves have now come out on the
501
4285590
5010
71:30
trees in the distance and also in my garden you can see lots of green leaves
502
4290600
5070
71:35

503
4295670

NOT a sir I am Brahma Brahma dirt-poor Brahma do Brahma do I hope I pronounced
506
4324139
10141
72:14
your name right so I would imagine that the sound at the end is not heard or
507
4334280
7469
72:21
maybe it is silent Brahma do or Brahma debt I hope I pronounced that right I
508
4341749
7560
72:29
sometimes try to pronounce your names and yes sometimes there are certain
509
4349309
4980
72:34
rules in your language where maybe a word or maybe a an actual letter in your
510
4354289
7980
72:42
name is pronounced differently so sometimes I do get it wrong but just
511
4362269
4830
72:47

72:57
what about the daffodils sadly the daffodils are now all starting
513
4377110
5199
73:02
to wither away and mr. Steve yesterday was moving some of the flowers as well
514
4382309
7080
73:09
however I think Steve has changed his mind so he was going to put some roses
515
4389389
8520
73:17
in the corner of the garden but I think now he's actually changed his mind I
516
4397909
5550
73:23
think he's going to do something else to be honest hello ELISA ELISA Marie I
517
4403459
8760
73:32
am just lurking here well whether you are lurking watching waiting stalking
518
4412219
12920
73:45
you are more than welcome welcome to my livestream on a Saturday I hope you are
519
4425139
5951
73:51
enjoying it your garden is nice it is looking nice at the moment because
520
4431090
4859
73:55
everything is green suddenly all of the leaves have come out on the trees so I
521
4435949
5911
74:01
do like it when all of the green comes out suddenly everything
522
4441860
4330
74:06
fresh and alive I like it a lot sure in my childhood I thought all the
523
4446190
8880
74:15
European people were able to speak English but obviously and I am wrong I
524
4455070
4440
74:19
am from an Eastern country this is true yes across Europe there are many
525
4459510
5820
74:25
different languages English has become dominant over the years
526
4465330
5520
74:30
however there are other European languages that are popular around the
527
4470850
5580
74:36
world of course I immediately think of Spanish I also think of French so you
528
4476430
9000
74:45
might be surprised to find out how many countries actually speak French there
529
4485430
5640
74:51
are African countries where French is spoken in Canada there are many people
530
4491070
7950
74:59
who speak French there are many people who have French as their second language
531
4499020
5429
75:04
as I understand it maybe I'm wrong but this is something I heard a few years
532
4504449
5911
75:10
ago I think in Canada they teach French and English simultaneously so you are
533
4510360
7710
75:18
actually learning two languages at the same time I might be wrong there but I
534
4518070
4440
75:22
think in some parts of Canada you actually learn in the curriculum as you
535
4522510
5459
75:27
are learning you actually learn both at the same time if I'm wrong I'm sure
536
4527969
5611
75:33
someone will tell me because you do you like to be pedantic sometimes mr. Duncan
537
4533580
7230
75:40
you got that wrong you were wrong
538
4540810
3740
75:45
franceska I like the expression I can't get over it it always makes me laugh yes
539
4545060
8200
75:53
if you can't get over something maybe the surprise or the shock was so big you
540
4553260
5970
75:59
you you can't recover so if you can't get over something I can't get over how
541
4559230
7469
76:06
long I've been doing this on YouTube I can't get over it you can't get past the
542
4566699
6361
76:13
feeling of surprise so yes it's a great expression I like it I like it a lot
543
4573060
6630
76:19
hello also to rose-red Constantine mr. Duncan do you grow tulips in your garden

4670110
9350
77:59
can't believe I just said that being stalked is not funny I know Rose it
558
4679460
8259
78:07
happened to me in China it happened to me in China I was talked in China it is
559
4687719
13081
78:20
something that I don't like to talk about to be honest so let's change the
560
4700800
7200
78:28
subject hello Valentin hello also Ali Ali
561
4708000
4860
78:32
Bastian nice to see you here as well hello mr.
562
4712860
3090
78:35
Duncan and hello to the small cute bird you are looking very nice today I hope
563
4715950
5100
78:41
so I didn't have a shave unfortunately I went without a shave so I haven't shaved
564
4721050
7320
78:48
my face today so I hope I don't look too untidy Adrian says why don't you ever
565
4728370
11190
78:59
wear the clothes you have in your studio when you are outside and the clothes you
566
4739560
4620
79:04
have outside when you are in your studio huh I'm confused already
567
4744180
6540
79:10
well I don't wear this outside because it's too formal so if you're outside if
568
4750720
5820
79:16
you are enjoying nature I think wearing a shirt and tie is not
569
4756540
5630
79:22
suitable I think you need to be more free and relaxed when you are outside
570
4762170
6160
79:28
however in the studio I like things to be a little more formal hmm and that is
571
4768330
7080
79:35
the reason why I wear my purple purple it's a purple tie can everyone stop
572
4775410
9960
79:45
saying it's pink because it isn't it's purple okay so I hope that answers your
573
4785370
7560
79:52
question that is the reason why I wear this indoors and when I'm outside I like
574
4792930
6000
79:58
to wear my t-shirts and my colorful clothing I think it looks rather nice
575
4798930
7490
80:06
what can I do to speak English fluently asks shaker Adam hello there Adam well
576
4806570
7780
80:14
as I always say you must make English part of your life get used to using
577
4814350
8100
80:22
English every day make it a part of your life something that you can relate to
578
4822450
5600
80:28
something that you can become familiar with just like anything so try to think
579
4828050
6970
80:35
of a song that you like singing there was a moment of time in your life when
580
4835020
6960
80:41
you didn't know how to sing that song you didn't know the words to the
581
4841980
4940
80:46
song but now you do and that is how you learn English you become familiar with
582
4846920
6630
80:53
it you find your own ways of learning English remembering new words listening
583
4853550
9260
81:02
reading writing as I always say writing is a very good way of learning a
584
4862810
7720
81:10
language it really is hello to zai Jian hello zai Jian that
585
4870530
8280
81:18
sounds like goodbye in Chinese zai Jian so that's what you say you see you say
586
4878810
6780
81:25
me how when you say hello in Chinese and you say
587
4885590
5160
81:30
zai Jian say gen means goodbye in Chinese please don't say goodbye just
588
4890750
7290
81:38
yet I'm not going yet mr. Duncan you are a
589
4898040
5130
81:43
workaholic I am definitely a workaholic and maybe sometimes I might be a
590
4903170
11550
81:54
chocolate holic as well a person who can't stop doing something if you if you
591
4914720
8070
82:02
can't stop doing something we can say you are a holic work holic or workaholic
592
4922790
8180
82:10
then you can be a chocolate Pollock you can't stop eating chocolate maybe an
593
4930970
6850
82:17
alcoholic a person who can't stop drinking vodka like Lina
594
4937820
6260
82:24
Serena mr. steve is going to put a vegetable garden in he isn't we have
595
4944080
7420
82:31
discussed this I've discussed it with Steve and we've both decided that we
596
4951500
4740
82:36
will not grow vegetables we are not going to grow vegetables because I want
597
4956240
8250
82:44
to say laziness is the reason I'm not sure if that is the reason but it seems
598
4964490
7200
82:51
like a lot of work just to get a handful of potatoes to be honest
599
4971690
6880
82:58
and Evangelina mr. Duncan in my country people only speak in Africa when they
600
4978570
7230
83:05
speak Spanish can you imagine finally more people speak French or
601
4985800
7560
83:13
French France French so the language of France is French because we are all
602
4993360
6870
83:20
around we around all of the French language speakers this is something I
603
5000230
7140
83:27
said earlier it is amazing as you travel around the world you will hear languages
604
5007370
4710
83:32
that you might not be expecting to hear so it is very strange I think there is
605
5012080
7700
83:39
and this is something I'm going to say now I might get told off for this I
606
5019780
5460
83:45
might actually get into trouble for saying this but sometimes English people
607
5025240
8220
83:53
when we are abroad we can be a little arrogant we can't believe you just said
608
5033460
15580
84:09
that but I think so some English people and I think American people as well when
609
5049040
5820
84:14
they are abroad in a country where English is not spoken they can be a
610
5054860
4920
84:19
little arrogant because quite often we will go to another country and we will
611
5059780
6060
84:25
expect other people to speak English as well which is not true it isn't possible
612
5065840
8810
84:34
so you can't always travel to another country and hear your own language being
613
5074650
4810
84:39
spoken so this is something an observation and this is me criticizing
614
5079460
7100
84:46
English people so quite often we go abroad and we just automatically expect
615
5086560
7480
84:54
everyone around hysts to speak English I don't of course I understand the fact
616
5094040
5280
84:59
that not everyone speaks English so if I travel to another country I will not
617
5099320
5610
85:04
expect everyone to speak English I'm not arrogant however there are a lot of
618
5104930
5760
85:10
people who do expect to have everything written in English
619
5110690
5000
85:15
all of the menus and the restaurants why isn't this in English don't they know
620
5115690
5730
85:21
I'm English so sometimes we can be a little arrogant
621
5121420
5340
85:26
a little unkind as well when we go abroad it does happen and this is one of
622
5126760
10020
85:36
the biggest complaints about people who travel from the United Kingdom and also
623
5136780
5880
85:42
from America because we do often expect other people to speak English when in
624
5142660
8100
85:50
fact of course not everyone speaks English in the world not everyone hello
625
5150760
6810
85:57
uni karena mr. Duncan I have a question about English grammar why do we say dust
626
5157570
7730
86:05
instead of another word when we remove the dust from the piece of furniture oh
627
5165300
6880
86:12
I see yes well this is a very interesting use of a word as both a noun
628
5172180
9840
86:22
and a verb and this happens a lot in English so it isn't just that one
629
5182020
5850
86:27
particular word dust dust is something that floats around in the air tiny
630
5187870
6720
86:34
particles and eventually they will land or they will settle on your furniture so
631
5194590
8100
86:42
sometimes you have to clean the dust off the furniture you have to wipe the dust
632
5202690
6450
86:49
off the furniture so that action is also called dusting so to dust something
633
5209140
9510
86:58
means that you are clearing away the dust you are moving the dust so I need
634
5218650
7220
87:05
to dust my furniture so in that sense we are using it as a verb dust so a you are
635
5225870
9010
87:14
using the same word that is a noun as a verb and this happens a lot another good
636
5234880
7080
87:21
example I suppose is water water you water your plant so maybe you have a
637
5241960
9160
87:31
little flower that is growing in the window in your house so you will take
638
5251120
6300
87:37
some water now and you will water the plant verb water now the action is also
639
5257420
14670
87:52
water you will water your plant you are adding water to something and if you
640
5272090
8850
88:00
dust something you are removing the dust so it might sound as if you are putting
641
5280940
7320
88:08
the dust onto the furniture but it's actually the opposite so we are using it
642
5288260
6060
88:14
as an action so it doesn't matter if you are putting something on or taking it
643
5294320
5250
88:19
off we are talking about an action and in this case dust is remove you are
644
5299570
8040
88:27
taking away all of the dust so that is the reason why sometimes in English you
645
5307610
7320
88:34
will find a noun is also used as a verb water is a good example Carlo hello
646
5314930
11820
88:46
Carlo how are you how are you found out I don't know what you mean by that do
647
5326750
7440
88:54
you mean do you mean by my stalkers well when I was in China a lot of people knew
648
5334190
6000
89:00
who I was because my school persuaded me to go on television and after that lots
649
5340190
12390
89:12
of people recognized me in the street a
650
5352580
4190
89:16
big mistake really a very big mistake if you do plan to become famous make sure
651
5356800
11500
89:28
you live in a castle or maybe a large house with lots and lots of security
652
5368300
8310
89:36
around the edge or else you might have a difficult time
653
5376610
4680
89:41
so make sure you choose the moment when you become famous Christina the dust is
654
5381290
11950
89:53
the noun and you are dusting well dusting is showing the action you are
655
5393240
6570
89:59
you will dust you are dusting so we are using that as the present participle you
656
5399810
7680
90:07
are actually doing it unique arena we remove the dust we don't add dust that
657
5407490
7170
90:14
is true as I mentioned earlier yes it's true you are taking away the dust of
658
5414660
5730
90:20
course there are other things you can use if you are cleaning the dust away we
659
5420390
5820
90:26
can say that you are cleaning you are cleaning your furniture cleaning
660
5426210
6230
90:32
sometimes we can use the word polish you are polishing your furniture you are
661
5432440
6250
90:38
making the furniture look clean again yes I am watering the plants I am adding
662
5438690
8640
90:47
water to the plants I would probably use the the word underst
663
5447330
9560
90:56
hmm underst yes it would make more sense however it's a little bit more awkward
664
5456890
7420
91:04
to say so I think sometimes in English sometimes certain phrases or verbs or
665
5464310
7050
91:11
nouns are kept simple they are kept very simple
666
5471360
5990
91:17
hello Vitas mr. Duncan what about normal normal is coming in a moment
667
5477350
5410
91:22
normal is coming in a moment first of all let's also look at
668
5482760
6710
91:29
surprised because surprise is something that when it comes along well how do you
669
5489470
8800
91:38
feel when you have a surprise how do you feel when you receive a surprise like me
670
5498270
8280
91:46
I had a lovely surprise today I felt astonishment can you see that I hope so
671
5506550
9620
91:56
because it's come out very small I don't know why it doesn't look very big on the
672
5516170
5190
92:01
screen so I hope you can see that astonishment
673
5521360

it's really getting busy hello Doctor Victoire first of mr. Duncan what about
690
5655220
12180
94:27
the correct pronunciation and use of the word invite and invitation well you
691
5667400
7740
94:35
might receive an invitation as a request so sometimes the word invitation can
692
5675140
8220
94:43
just mean request so you receive an invitation sometimes we think that that
693
5683360
6990
94:50
means that you have been asked to go to a party but actually it can also be a
694
5690350
4800
94:55
request to do something I have received an invitation to try some new software
695
5695150
9110
95:04
so you are actually being offered something as an invitation so in that
696
5704260
7030
95:11
sense you are being asked if you would like to join something such as a new
697
5711290
5460
95:16
website or maybe a new group on the Internet
698
5716750
4290
95:21
and invite of course is a noun and also a verb you invite someone to your house
699
5721040
9630
95:30
would you like to come to my house and have a look at my bird collection I
700
5730670
7010
95:38
invite you to the house I might send you an invite which is the thing that is
701
5738490
9190
95:47
asking you if you would like to come and in that sense it is a noun
702
5747680
7350
95:55
Cristina yes incredulity you are so surprised
703
5755030
6480
96:01
you are so shocked by something you actually don't believe it it is
704
5761510
6180
96:07
something that is so surprising you actually don't believe it you doubt that
705
5767690
6120
96:13
it might be real maybe you win the lottery maybe you become the next king
706
5773810
12960
96:26
of England wonder is another one as well surprise and wonder something that makes

9060
96:35

5400
96:46
you feel surprise you feel wonder because you can't believe it I can't
710
5806510
6960
96:53
believe that that thing is real we might also feel surprise and confusion so
711
5813470
10080
97:03
sometimes a surprise can leave us feeling slightly confused at the same
712
5823550
4530
97:08
time it is true you can feel confusion as surprise because it's something that
713

9090
97:17
you weren't expecting something that makes you what what what what you are
714
5837170
8940
97:26
surprised but also you might be confused you might feel disbelief because the
715
5846110
5760
97:31
thing is so sink it is such an amazing thing you
716
5851870
5709
97:37
feel disbelief as a phrase we might say that you are bowled over
717
5857579
15451
97:53
I am bowled over it means you are so surprised by something you feel some
718
5873030
8640
98:01
sort of emotional reaction there is a strong emotional reaction
719

4529
98:06
you really can't believe that this happened
720
5886199
3210
98:09
you are bowled over quite often we will use this in a positive sense so maybe
721
5889409
6781
98:16
something that you weren't expecting maybe your your boyfriend or girlfriend
722
5896190
5960
98:22
suddenly asks you to marry them you are bowled over you are so surprised you
723
5902150
12790
98:34
feel a very strong emotional response
724
5914940
5029
98:41
you are blown away blown away if you are blown away by something then you are
725
5921230
8230
98:49
really surprised you are quite surprised and shocked you are blown away something
726
5929460
7560
98:57
that you can't believe that you you are looking at I'm blown away
727
5937020
5429
99:02
maybe you hear some information that you didn't know before something that has
728
5942449
5281
99:07
made you feel quite surprised you are blown away by it
729
5947730
6630
99:14
you are very surprised hello to the live chat and a peeker mr. Duncan you have
730
5954360
10680
99:25
been talking for almost two hours your voice is getting very rough do you have
731
5965040
4440
99:29
some water close to you fortunately I do have some water right here
732
5969480
7849
99:40
oh that that's nice that's very refreshing something unexpected
733
5980860
7710
99:48
might also be a surprise unexpected so something unexpected is something you
734
5988570
6180
99:54
did not expect you might describe it as a surprise you are unaware of something
735
5994750
9480
100:04
so quite often a surprise will be something that you didn't know before
736
6004230
4970
100:09
you didn't know that your friends were going to give you a birthday party
737
6009200
4830
100:14
suddenly all of your friends are around you you were unaware that your friends
738
6014030
12010
100:26
were going to give you a surprise birthday party you might be taken aback
739
6026040
9710
100:35
wow all left speechless so you are taken aback if you are taken aback it means
740
6035750
12580
100:48
you are really surprised something has left you really surprised
741
6048330
6000
100:54
I can't believe it I am taken aback this can be something good or bad so this one
742
6054330
11120
101:05
taken aback can be negative or positive so maybe just something you weren't
743
6065450
7000
101:12
expecting but quite often we might use this as a bad surprise I was taken aback
744
6072450
5820
101:18
I couldn't believe that it happened I was taken aback I was left speechless
745
6078270
9300
101:27
I was actually left speechless taken aback left speechless you can't speak
746
6087570
11520
101:39
because you are so shocked or surprised by the thing that it happened so there
747
6099090
6600
101:45

102:48

764
6221940
10170
103:52
plastic heron would you like to see my heron in the garden so this particular
765
6232110
5520
103:57
Heron is actually fake I will bring my little
766
6237630
8070
104:05
Eero so you can see it so there is my heron in the garden so my little heron
767
6245700
11970
104:17
is not real that particular Heron is made of plastic however it is very
768
6257670
8220
104:25
realistic something that is realistic is something that looks almost real so
769
6265890
7350
104:33
every morning when I wake up I look out of my window and I always say good
770
6273240
4020
104:37

771
6277260
8070
104:45

774
6307950
7160
105:15
Wow I think I've got it right incredible I think I deserve a round of applause
775
6315110
5440
105:20
for that
776
6320550
2360
105:26
that's enough no more it might go to my head mr. Duncan what does no comment
777
6326160
6310
105:32
mean if you say no comment what does it mean well it means I have nothing to say
778
6332470
6170
105:38
maybe a person asked you a question and you don't want to give an answer so you
779
6338640
6310
105:44
will just say no comment it means you have nothing to say quite often if you
780
6344950
9090
105:54
are being pursued by a newspaper reporter they might ask you some
781
6354040
7050
106:01
difficult questions and you might turn around and you will say no comment
782
6361090
6240
106:07
it means I have nothing to say I don't want to answer your question no comment
783
6367330
7560
106:14
I have nothing to say to yes I am taken aback now because I know the number of
784
6374890
8550
106:23
people who are infected by yes some people seem to think that this is all
785
6383440
10380
106:33
going to come to an end some people think think that this will
786
6393820
4200
106:38
be over next month I don't think so I think we still have a long way to go
787
6398020
7830
106:45
before all of this crazy stuff comes to an end I still think we have a long way
788
6405850
6390
106:52
to go certainly here in the UK from my own point of view so I'm not talking
789
6412240
6120
106:58
about other countries but I am talking about here in the UK I think we still
790
6418360
4530
107:02
have a long way to go before things return to normal
791
6422890
4680
107:07
ah hey did you see what I did there so here is another word that we keep
792
6427570
7590
107:15
hearing at the moment a lot of people say oh I wish things would return to
793
6435160
7560
107:22
normal it's an interesting word isn't it we use this quite often sometimes we use
794
6442720
6840
107:29
it fairly and sometimes we use it unfairly as well when we are talking
795
6449560
8190
107:37
about people their behavior or their beliefs so the
796
6457750
5490
107:43
word normal is one that is often used at the moment people are wishing that
797
6463240
5730
107:48
things would return to normal can we please have the normal times back
798
6468970
7680
107:56
to be honest with you I don't know what normal is when we are talking about
799
6476650
4980
108:01
society because we all behave in so many different ways what is normal what is a
800
6481630
6810
108:08
normal thing we might also say usual so a normal thing is something that is
801
6488440
9750
108:18
usual usual a thing that you might see many times or hear about or observe it
802
6498190
9210
108:27
is usual usual how was your day at work I had a usual day it was the usual day
803
6507400
12350
108:39
everything was the same it was all normal usual so an interesting one to
804
6519750
6340
108:46
pronounce usual a usual day something that is often seen might be described as
805
6526090
9960
108:56
commonplace this can also be used negatively so quite often something we
806
6536050
6240
109:02
feel bored with something we see too many times maybe you are bored watching
807
6542290
6570
109:08
me Oh mr. Duncan you are here everyday you have become so commonplace you are
808
6548860
8460
109:17
always here however commonplace often means something that you always see
809
6557320
7110
109:24
something that is usual something that you might consider as normal typical
810
6564430
6900
109:31
typical a typical day something that is normal nothing unusual happened it was
811
6571330
8580
109:39
just a normal day it was a typical day typical normal we might also use the
812
6579910
8550
109:48
word
813
6588460
2210
109:50
average it was an average day nothing special nothing bad nothing really good
814
6590840
7620
109:58
just average an average day an average time I think you can safely say that at
815
6598460
11070
110:09
the moment we are not living through average times I think at the moment
816
6609530
5460
110:14
everything is not average or normal
817
6614990
5630
110:20
something ordinary something ordinary or ordinary so some people pronounce this
818
6620980
7390
110:28
ordinary some people pronounce it ordinary something usual normal ordinary
819
6628370
11240
110:39
nothing special standard as well something that has no extra features so
820
6639610
13060
110:52
you might have standard definition on your television so the definition or the
821
6652670
6540
110:59
picture is just a normal picture so it isn't clear it isn't high-definition
822
6659210
8090
111:07
standard something that is standard is the normal thing that you would get it
823
6667300
5410
111:12
is nothing special it is standard standard hello to Posner hello a snare

8130
115:08
restaurant well maybe not at the moment because many of them are closed but you
856
6908060
5310
115:13
might go to a fast-food restaurant and you will ask for a drink a fizzy drink
857
6913370
5120
115:18
they will ask would you like a regular regular drink or large drink and you

9240
115:48
something that is seen as acceptable this one is a big subject so what is
862
6948710
8520
115:57
normal quite often is determined by what people see as acceptable so everyone is
863

116:07
different everyone is unique we all have our strange ways we all have our unusual
864
6967550
8660
116:16
quirks and habits and lifestyles so some people might say that something they
865
6976210
8560
116:24
find acceptable is normal however the opposite is one
866
6984770
6270
116:31
acceptable so a person might see something as not normal they will see it
867
6991040
6120
116:37
as unacceptable acceptable is something that people accept as normal
868
6997160

one for those who like playing golf you might you might actually know this one
907
7302449
6690
121:49
if you are on par it means everything is going as it should everything is running
908
7309139

121:54
smoothly it is all running normally and also for people who play golf it means
909
7314179
5730
121:59
your match is also going very well everything is going as you expect
910

4440
122:04
something is on par interesting isn't that an interesting phrase something is
911
7324349
6421
122:10
on par and finally we might also say something that is commonplace something
912
7330770
9480
122:20
normal is similar so we might see many things around us that are very similar
913
7340250
6829
122:27
they are things that you see often they are often seen they are similar so even
914
7347079
7991
122:35
though this does not mean normal it might also mean something that you see
915
7355070
5819
122:40
often things that are all alike they are common you see them everywhere they are
