ENGLISH ADDICT / What is LOVE? / Fri 14th February 2020 / Valentine's Day / Expressing Old & New

hmm love is in the air everywhere I look around love is in the air with every

sight and every sound oh here we go again yes we are back once again live we

are slightly late for which I apologize however we are here as we always say

better late than never yes here we go again it is English

addict live from a very murky damp England

hmm it really does feel as if romance is in the air yes hi everybody this is mr.

Duncan in England how are you today are you okay are you happy I really hope so

because it really does feel as if something special is in the air I don't

know what it is maybe my next-door neighbor is making a very nice cake

maybe they are baking something delicious in their oven or it might be

because love is in the air yes it is Valentine's Day today is Valentine's Day

for all those people who are in love for those who are looking for love maybe

someone who has already found their love but that person doesn't know that they

are being loved from afar so that's the reason why we have Valentine's Day it

gives everyone a chance to tell their loved one how much they are appreciated

or maybe a person who you've been watching someone you've had your eye on

that's what we say you see if you have your eye on someone it means you are

watching them you have feelings for them sometimes the person who is the object

of your attention might not realize it they might sometimes get the wrong idea

they might think you are some sort of stalker and that is the problem there is

a very fine line between trying to pursue someone romantically and being a

stalker so there is a very fine line between those two things anyway I hope

you're okay if you are in love if you have love if

you've lost love if you are still looking for love you are all very

welcome here and yes we have made it towards another end of the week the

weekend is just around the corner how was your week was it a good one

I hope so yes it's Friday

love is definitely in the air if you are looking for love if you are in love

whatever your status it doesn't really matter you are still welcome everyone is

welcome here if you are looking for love you might be after a certain person if

you are connected romantically with someone we might say that you are going

out with them I always remember it's cool all of my

friends at school seem to have someone they were going out with if you go out

with someone it means you are dating them you are going out on dates you are

connected to that person romantically so maybe you are starting a relationship

maybe you are going out on dates with someone you are going out with someone

you are dating ooh so we are talking about love today we'll

be having a look at one of my lessons a little bit later on some excerpts from

one of my lessons all about the subject of love and of course you can find the

full version of that lesson on my website what's that you say mr. Duncan

you have a website yes I do I have a website with all of my playlists you can

find lots of things on my website and it is it is available now can you believe

it I've spent three months creating this website three months of hard work and

finally it is here so you will find all of the playlists on this website and I

will be updating it with lots of new bits and pieces concerning

the English language after all that is why we are here we are here today to

share our love of English and I hope you are having a good day how is your

Valentine's Day mean have you had any cards have you had anything nice I

thought today it would be nice to have a poem would you like to see a poem all

about love okay let's have a valentine's poem and this happens to be a poem that

i wrote myself

how can I explain this feeling of love it appears so sudden like a bolt from a

book the joy it brings forth cannot be measured this feeling of love will

always be treasured my heart swells up with a magnificent glow my happiness in

joy I can't help but show to the one who is

there through my treble in strife the one who'll be there as I journey through

this life so what is true love and why must it be this thing is a mystery and

remained so for me to fight it is futile to deny it

heartbreaking so let go of that doubt when your heart is aching for the lonely

and the sad and those who cannot cope that feeling will not less on that you

must hope for one day without doubt that bolt will strike true when the Wonder

and joy of true love finds you so a little poem something to help us get

into the romantic mood and I hope you enjoyed that something-something I wrote

this morning I was sitting in my studio looking for inspiration and then I

looked out of my window and I saw some pigeons they were showing love to each

other they were being very affectionate towards each other would you like to see

some love pigeons okay because it's Valentine's Day I can't resist showing

you something really lovely and cute

absolutely gorgeous I hope you enjoyed that something nice

for you to look at today getting us all in the romantic mood oh I've almost

forgotten about the live chat hello to the live chat nice to see you here today

loving life and you are here as well improving your English so the live chat

is up and running hello to Martha Martha Poland hello to you as well also Ayesha

Zeinab Val or mica mica is here on Valentine's Day I know a lot of people

don't even think about Valentine's Day for various reasons maybe they just

think it's a stupid idea perhaps or maybe they are still looking

for love and they don't think too much about it however it is Valentine's Day

for all those who are feeling romantic ah there it is the word

romance can you see it on your screen now to have a romance to be in love to

be affectionate towards someone to feel close to someone you have a romance you

are romantically involved with someone so if you have a romantic relationship

it means you are close to that person you will share everything you are going

through a romance I suppose another word we can use is affection you might show

affection to someone affection you are showing care you are showing that you

love someone you are showing that there is a bond between you so affection is a

great word it is the expression of love through action and quite often you will

give care and attention to someone that you are in love with you show affection

of course amongst family members you can also have affection as well you are

showing that someone is dear to you they are special to you in your life so

you can show affection to to anybody really who is close to you you might

show affection to your pet and your pet might also give some sort of affection

to you as well so it is possible affection is a great word and it can be

used in quite a few ways hello fatty hello also Pedro Oh Pedro

my video can actually help me to be seen and also discovered on YouTube Alamgir

is complaining about my new website mr. Duncan you haven't got anything new in

that website it's all about YouTube posts you should put some different

things some different content such as blog posts and pictures and other

information well you are right and it's something that I'm trying to get round

to doing however this week I've had a busy week quite a few things going on in

my life away from YouTube that's all I'm saying for now so unfortunately I

haven't been able to spend much time on my website doing some new things

although I want to do that however at the moment let's just say my life is a

little chaotic that's all I'm saying for now hello pal Mira sunny day it is a

sunny day in my city oh very nice let's have a look outside

it is misty it is murky it is cloudy it's a very strange

day it's not a romantic day there is no sunshine today so it doesn't feel as if

romance is in the air unfortunately I'm very sorry about that I was hoping for

some sunshine today to be honest but no sunshine today here I'm afraid we are

now up to date with the live chat oh hello yes mean watching in Egypt nice to

see you here today we are talking about words connected with the love it is

Valentine's Day oh here's an interesting word lust lust can be described as a

strong emotion of desire so maybe the desire for someone or maybe

the desire for something you can lust after anything really

you can lust after a person you can lust after money let's face it a lot of

people do lust after food you might be crazy about eating you might love eating

food that might be your list so you can lust after something or it can actually

describe the feeling of desire strong desire lust it is a word that sometimes

people get very offended by it is seen as something that might be a little

naughty desire I just mentioned this word didn't I something you really want

something you feel as if you need in your life it might be something you wish

to do maybe a person you want to date you have a strong desire you desire

something you have a desire to do something or you desire a person desire

a very strong emotion must say it is a very strong emotion

broken boy is here hello to you haven't seen you here today but now you

are here hello also highly quang nice to see you

as well watching in Vietnam I think so Vittorio hello mr. Duncan from Italy it

is a long time that I know you compliments for your work thank you very

much that's very kind of you to say Lilia is

here on Valentine's Day Lilia I thought maybe you might be off having a romantic

dinner somewhere maybe it's too early or perhaps it's too late

who knows yes it is Valentine's Day today and also on Sunday it's mr.

Steve's birthday so a lot of things going on I can't begin to tell you how

chaotic my life is at the moment I really want to do so many things with my

website and my lessons however things are a little bit crazy at the moment

let's just say and that's all I'm saying hello also - Oh apparently Irene is it

Irene's birthday today is it really happy birthday Irene for

your birthday today it's your birthday yes today it's your birthday

hip-hip-hooray so happy birthday Irene I hope you have a good one hello - man a

Bop hello to you as well words connected with romance and love have you ever seen

this word before whoo it is actually in action if you woo someone it means you

try to get them to be attracted to you you are trying to seduce them you are

trying to get them to like you or to notice you so quite

often you might woo a person if you are trying to persuade them to love you and

it is often the case that when a person meets another person they might not like

each other at first however over time as they gradually get to know each other

suddenly they realize that they have a lot of things in common so woo if you

woo someone it means you are persuading them you are doing your mating dance

like animals in the wild have you noticed that so when an animal maybe a

male is trying to attract a female quite often the male will do something he will

try to woo the female by showing his colorful feathers or by doing a little

dance so even though this word looks simple it is actually a very interesting

word you woo someone are you celebrating Valentine's Day I know a lot of people

don't I I did something today for Valentine's Day well first of all you

can see I'm wearing my red shirt and my red hat especially for Valentine's Day

because we often we often connect love and Valentine's Day romance with the

color red I guess it has something to do with the heart I suppose so

now we are going to have a look at one of my lessons would you like to have a

look at an excerpt from one of my lessons all about love and you can

actually find this lesson on my youtube channel in fact I will post the link to

this actual video under the lesson you are watching now so I will do that later

on however we will have a look at an excerpt from one of my English

lessons where I talk about that thing that sometimes can be very hard to find

love shall I can to a summers day thou art more lovely

and more temperate rough winds do shake the Darling Buds of May and summers

lease hath all too short a date so long as men can breathe or eyes can see so

long lives this and this gives life to thee since the moment I first saw you I

knew that I must have you you are the one I need only you can satisfy my

desire it was meant to be as soon as you came in the room I must be with you I

must hold you I have to have my lips near you please be mine yeah baby

next in this lesson we will talk about something we all feel we all need we

wish to give but also something that can be hard to find or receive a word that

can bring both happiness and sorrow into our lives in today's lesson we will take

a look at that magical four-letter word L o

the word love means a strong feeling of affection the emotional bond between two

people who are very close to each other the physical or sexual attraction felt

by one person towards another to have an interest in something which gives you

great pleasure such as a hobby or an interest what is love

we know that it is not tangible it cannot be held in our hands yet to most

people love is a real thing it reaches both from us and into us

it exists in our mind but lives in our heart

there are various types of live which have different paths and emotions

connected to them familial love the love of a person through a family tie such as

the love of a mother towards her son platonic love a close love shared by two

people but without the sexual relationship

although the earlier definition of this phrase meant something quite different

unrequited love a love that has been given but not returned he loves her but

she does not love him puppy love the innocent or naive love experienced by a

young person of all the subjects ever written about in literature love must

surely be the most common one used many poets and authors have strived over the

years to capture the essence of what love is many have tried and many have

failed famous authors such as Emily Bronte Catherine Cookson Charles Dickens

and the playwright William Shakespeare have all used the theme of love in their

works

every year all around the world those in love get the chance to show their

affection to a husband wife boyfriend girlfriend or maybe to someone who does

not even know that they are look for example here in the UK we have

Valentine's Day this happens each year on February 14th cards and chocolates

are given as tokens of love and some couples will become engaged on this date

the words used between levers tend to be special and are spoken as a way of

showing that the other person is dear to them words such as angel you are my

angel darling I miss you darling sweetheart I love you sweetheart

treasure you are my treasure honey kiss me

honey baby call me later baby precious you are my precious honey bunny

hold me honey bunny we call these terms of endearment

love comes and love goes losing love or ending in close relationship is a hard

thing to do most people go through this experience at some point and the younger

you are when it happens then the more distressing it seems to feel you feel

empty your life seems pointless your heart is broken but such is life the

knocks you suffer from lust love will never leave you just like all of life's

experiences you have to take the rough with the smooth

hmm one of the many lessons on my youtube channel all about love I hope

you enjoyed that you are watching English addict on a Friday it is a very

special day today February the 14th Valentine's Day we are talking about

love have you ever heard of this Cupid apparently Cupid is a very well-known

word for those who especially those who are interested in mythology Cupid was

actually the god of love and he would often fly around and fire his arrow into

someone's heart which is why you often see the heart used with an arrow going

through it it actually represents Cupid's arrow Cupid the God of love for

those who believe in that sort of thing or follow mythology and also Aphrodite

yes the mother of Cupid and she is the goddess of lust and romance and

sexuality and sexual attraction oh we often use this word if we are talking

about something that can make you feel more excited as it were we call them

aphrodisiacs and the reason why we do that is because it's named after

Aphrodite so you might often hear people talk about Cupid's arrow Cupid will fly

around GE and will fire his little arrow into your heart and from that moment you

will fall madly in love it is all I think it's Greek mythology all of this

comes from so yes I'm a very interesting subject if you are in love with someone

however the other person does not return that love maybe they have no attraction

to you but you are attracted to them we might call that urn requite 'add love

love that is not returned or given Mac so quite often you might find yourself

attracted to someone however the other person doesn't feel the same way it is

unrequited love you don't receive the love that you are giving and this

happens a lot especially in work environments have you ever fallen in

love with a work colleague now in many companies it is actually not allowed you

are not allowed to fall in love or have a relationship with someone who works in

the same place many years ago I remember reading about the early days of

television and many television stations in the United States would not allow the

employers to have relationships they wouldn't allow it

it was actually forbidden hello to Lee hello Lee you fall in love you become

besotted oh that's a great word if you are besotted it means you are helplessly

in love with someone you can't help yourself

you are besotted besotted that's a great word isn't it hello Cydia great to watch

your live stream mr. Duncan Thank You Cydia and thanks for joining me today

the weekend is just around the corner are you excited

hello also to Alamgir again yes people are excited celebrating Valentine's Day

it is also the first day of spring in the bengali month very interesting I am

looking forward to spring I really am I can't tell you how much this this winter

has been awful the weather has been very strange

is being mild it's been quite warm we've had a lot of wind and also a lot of rain

but it's been a very long winter I can't wait for spring to arrive if I

was honest with you hello Sarge hello to you where are you watching at

the moment Oh Jean B or Jean BAE says we can't control our emotions as in love

well yes this is the thing sometimes your emotions take over and this is why

we often talk about love as being something that affects you very deeply

so that's probably the reason why we use we use the heart as the symbol of love

because it does feel as if your heart is being affected by it

so everything that happens is happening here in your heart and not here in your

brain some people say that's a bad thing of course if you get too carried away

with love if you get to pull if you get pulled too deeply into a relationship

you might forget to think you might let your heart rule your head so yes it can

sometimes be a very precarious thing a very fickle thing some people say that

love is very fickle some people find it some people find it and lose it and some

people never find it so love is a very strange thing indeed hello - top game VN

top game I think you might be in Vietnam I don't know why over the past few days

I've had a lot of people join me on my youtube channel from Vietnam so you are

very welcome to join me here always and of course you can find me here on Sunday

Wednesday and Friday from 2 p.m. UK time I am with you at those times we are

looking at some words to do we're the love and also I thought it would be

interesting to look at some words and phrases connected to things that are new

and old so when we talk about new well things that have things that have come

along that didn't exist before so something that is new is something

that didn't exist before a certain moment so maybe something you

didn't own but now you do own you can describe that new thing as new it is

your new car maybe your new house maybe your new pair of shoes or maybe your new

girlfriend or boyfriend ooh so something that is new and of

course the opposite of new is old something that is worn something that

has past its best something old something that is been

around for a long time a person can be described as old even though it's very

rude to say that we don't often say hey you're old we don't often say that do

you know why it's because it's rude so something old something that has been

around for a long time something that is no longer popular can also be described

as old something that has been around for a very long time maybe oh he's a

good word I like this one fresh if something is new or if something is in

good condition especially when we are talking about certain types of food such

as fruit we can say that it is fresh a fresh thing maybe a purse

who comes to join a group and maybe it's their first time joining the group we

would describe them as a fresh face so if you see a fresh face in the room that

means that you've seen someone you've never seen before

they have come for the first time so perhaps here on the live chat I might

say today oh I can see a lot of fresh faces on the live chat even though I

can't actually see you physically so something that's fresh something is new

when we are talking about fruit or vegetables we can say that it is fresh

it is something that has not gone bad or hasn't gone rotten

oh there's another good word so something fresh is something you can eat

something that has just been grown or something that's just being picked it is

fresh maybe a person who looks lively and happy we can describe them as

fresh-faced so a fresh-faced person is a way of describing a person who looks

vibrant and excited about the world fresh fresh I like that word and as I

just mentioned we have the opposite word as well something that is rotten

something that is old something that cannot be eaten something that is no

longer useful quite often we describe food as rotten if it is gone past its

best if it's gone past its sell-by date then it is rotten or maybe a person does

something nasty so a person does something that is cruel we can say that

they are rotten you are such a rotten person how rotten how could you

do that so something that is mean something that is done with hate can be

described as rotten something has been done spitefully so a spiteful person

might be described as rotten I'm sure we all know someone in our lives who might

be described as a rotten person rotten if something has gone bad

if something can not be eaten such as bread we might say stale so something

that is old something that has gone past its best so maybe a slice of bread or a

loaf of bread and now it's gone hard you can't eat it

it has gone stale something is stale a stale thing maybe something that has

been going on for a very long time and now it's become boring maybe a

relationship an interesting subject to talk about today because it is

Valentine's Day perhaps you've been in a relationship for a very long time and

perhaps you think all the magic of our relationship has disappeared there is no

magic anymore the spark has disappeared we might say that the relationship has

gone stale stale something that is old something worn out something that has

become dull and boring stale of course we all like new things we all like to

see new things something new arrives maybe you go shopping and you buy

yourself some new clothes something that is

very fashionable maybe something that has only just become available maybe you

want a new mobile phone and you've decided that you want to buy the new

Samsung S 20 yes it's just come out it's now available it is hot off the press I

love this expression if something is hot off the press it means it has just

become available it is something that is brand new it isn't old it's something

that has just become available it is hot off the press it is so new it's almost

as if you can feel the heat from the factory hot off the press quite often we

use this concerning newspapers so maybe when a newspaper is first published in

the morning and maybe there is some news that no one knows about we can say that

that particular news is hot off the press it is a piece of information that

no one knows about something is hot off the press something that has only just

been published something that has only just become available hot off the press

quite often we use it figuratively straight from the oven something that is

straight from the oven something that is fresh maybe something you have just

picked in the oven you've baked a cake hmm

that cake is warm I can smell that it's just kurma straight from the oven

something has just been prepared it is very fresh it is straight from the oven

hello sir hello also sweetness hello also Irene hello - am

mr. Duncan what is fad I've heard about this word fad a food fad and fashion so

is there another another type of fad where we talk about fad it means

something that comes along and people do it or maybe a certain type of clothing

that people buy because it's fashionable and cool but then of course that fashion

slowly fades away it disappears so when we say fad it means something

that you suddenly discover something you want to do but maybe you only do it for

a short time so we might describe fashion as being a type of fat something

that comes along and people do it but then slowly over time it fades away so a

new fashion or a new thing that people enjoy doing can be described as a fad

fad it's a very interesting word so thank you for bringing that one up Allan

gear says I love Samsung mobile phones so much and I'm waiting for my Samsung

Galaxy 20 the s20 is coming along yes it's just been released my phone I

actually have two phones I have an old phone that I don't use very much anymore

however I often use it when I'm in bed I will watch my YouTube videos or maybe I

will read my emails upstairs on my old Samsung Galaxy S I think it's the s5 so

it's quite old and here in the studio I have an iPhone success as well so that

is actually what I'm using at the moment to look at the livestream so I don't

have a new phone I don't have a new phone

I probably won't either because they're too expensive the brand new Samsung

Galaxy S 20 if you want the top phone it is 1200 pounds 1200 pounds can you

believe it that's a very expensive phone so no I won't be buying a new phone this

year I'm going to keep my old iPhone thank you very much

hello also to Tang you win hello to you nice to see you here today I think it's

starting to rain outside look at that it's so dull and miserable outside in

fact I think it is I think it's starting to rain at the moment outside Oh dear me

not very nice is it hello also highly Cuong my phone is a samsung galaxy j4 it

is very outdated well as I always say as long as it works if it does what you

want it to do if it works all right if it does the job keep it that's what I

say so something that is new something that has just been released we can say

that it is a new thing so something that is just released it is now available so

maybe something wasn't available but now it is available it has been released we

can say that it is just released so you might say that the Samsung Galaxy S 20

has just been released it is now available so something has been released

just released it is now available yes I'm right it is raining

oh dear remain the rain is really coming down at the moment do you remain can you

see it Wow suddenly the weather has become

quite stormy outside and apparently tomorrow we're going to get a terrible

storm as well tomorrow don't believe it dropped quite often in the music

industry when an artist releases a new album or a new single or a new song a

piece of music we will say that it has been dropped it is a very modern

expression that the younger people use so maybe I don't know maybe I want to

say Adele but I don't think Adele produces music anymore I can't remember

the last time I saw Adele so maybe Adele drops a new song that means that the

song has been published so you might drop something or it has been dropped it

has been dropped hello - Barry Zac hello Abba Razak nice to see you back here

today good thank you very much Mason says my

phone is an iPhone 4 well as I said earlier if it works if it functions

that's all it matters there is one thing I've noticed last week I was I was on

the train and I noticed a lot of people using their mobile phones but I did

notice that some of them were damaged so it is amazing how many people how many

people will keep their phone even though the screen is broken so this is

something that I've noticed quite a few times looking around me something that

is avantgarde whoa I like that a vanguard have you heard of

this word it means something that is new a new method or something that is being

tried quite often you in the world of art or literature so in

literature maybe there is a certain style of writing that has never been

done before or maybe in art maybe there is a certain type of painting that has

never been done before we can say that that it is avantgarde it is new it is

something that's never been done before you might describe my English lessons as

being avantgarde although I don't think so because I've been doing this for

nearly 14 years so I wouldn't say that this is new even though to you it might

appear to be new because you've never seen me before something that is

revolutionary and again something that has not existed not it not been around

before it is revolutionary it is something that is never existed until

now it is something that has come along and it will change our lives for the

better I remember years ago when people started having computers in their homes

a long time ago the computer was described as a revolutionary device a

device that will change our lives the way we live the way we work the way we

function so something that is revolutionary

hello row Dolph oh hello Rudolfo hi there how is it going

I am row Dolph oh but most people call me rod hello rod nice to see you

I'm from Sao Paulo Brazil it's nice to meet you and I've been following you

your YouTube channel for a couple of years I love your British accent thank

you very much yes I am coming to you live from the birthplace of the English

language that is of course England if you want to get in touch you are more

than welcome to do so and don't forget you can follow me on Facebook and if you

like what you see you can even make a donation

doo-doo-doo-doo yes we are live on Friday it's the weekend everyone are you

happy the weekend is coming the weekend is on

the way do you have anything special we have some special visitors coming this

weekend tomorrow hopefully if they can actually get here because the weather

tomorrow is going to be a dreadful we have another storm coming our way

storm dennis is going to hit the UK tomorrow so unfortunately we do have

another storm on the way hello zenyk or Zandt zank team hello to you hi

teacher mr. Duncan you are the best teacher ever thank you very much is very

kind of you to say if you could tell your friends and maybe tell YouTube I

would be very grateful modern phones cost us an arm and a leg yes it's true

and that's a good expression by the way if something costs an arm and a leg it

means it is very expensive talking of mobile phones I suppose when mobile

phones first came along we describe them as innovative innovative so something

that is innovative is new and also something that changes the way we live

maybe it is a new way of looking at something or a new way of doing

something so the mobile phone device might be described as innovative and of

course they are always changing so I remember when mobile phones first

appeared they were very basic and they were huge they were like house bricks

they were huge and the only thing you could do on your mobile phone was call

someone and that was it you couldn't do anything else

however these days there are so many so many hello to Netra hello nectar oh they

are your visitors aren't they yes I have some visitors coming tomorrow to visit

they are they are going to visit the house and visit yes so I'm looking

forward to that have you seen the new mobile phone that you can fold I've seen

them I think I think Motorola has one at the moment I think they have a new

version of their classic razor who remembers the Motorola RAZR I remember

when I was in China everyone had Motorola phones they were

the biggest brand of phone in China and he would always see people with their

moe-moe Motorola phones it's not easy to say that

so yes Motorola have just I'm not sure if it's available yet is it available

yet I'm not sure but Motorola have made a mobile phone a smartphone that you can

actually fold and when you open it out the screen folds in half very strange so

yes I have seen it I don't know how well it works or how it functions

hello also to tang new in mr. Duncan do you know about the corona virus what do

you think about it well I don't want to bore everyone with

my story but I remember in 2003 when I lived in China I lived in China during

the SARS crisis so I was in China when SARS broke out so to be honest with you

I'm not sure whether all the information that we're hearing is accurate however I

think taking care and also making sure that you don't pass on the virus or

see if the virus is a good thing and lots of confusing information going

around not only on the internet but also the news as well so quite a few people

are a little bit confused about what the corona virus is or as they call it now

the the Naveed Navid 19 I think I prefer corona virus

to be honest I think it's much easier to say hello mr. Duncan from Vietnam hello

Tao Tao hello to you hello Mason as well apparently this the folding

phone has a plastic screen I don't know how it does it though I don't know how

the screen actually folds if there's one thing I know about mobile phones is that

the screens can be very sensitive to everything scratches and knocks so they

do damage very easily something that is old-fashioned something that is out of

date something old can be described as out of

date and out of date thing is something that is no longer durn or maybe

something that people don't buy anymore or maybe something that is seen as

useless something that is out of date some people think I'm out of date mr.

Duncan you are out of date so something that is out of date we might describe

food as out of date it means it has gone past its best it is stale it is rotten

it is out of date

hello - parissa hello parisa nice to see you here today

also Noemi I have a Motorola mobile phone and I'm watching you on it right

now says Noemi hello - Noemi watching on your mobile phone which happens to be a

Motorola phone all very nice very nice I wonder if you are going to update your

phone - the one that folds I don't think I want a phone that folds to be honest I

don't like the idea of that hello Rolfie apparently they have two

journalists who were talking about the corona virus in China have vanished well

of course the man who originally mentioned this virus in December died

from the corona virus very sad hi Lee Kwang the Samsung Galaxy S 20 is out of

date it probably is it's one of the things about technology something comes

along it's new and everyone gets excited about it and then a few months later

it's gone people have forgotten all about it

it's old it's out of date so yes maybe you like wearing some clothes that

you've had for many years but those clothes might be unfashionable so

something that it's unfashionable if we say that a thing is unfashionable it

means that it is something that people no longer do all people no longer choose

it is something that is unfashionable it is no longer done quite often we will

refer to clothing so certain types of clothes that people no longer

might be described as unfashionable something that people used to do but

they don't do anymore an item can be obsolete something that

is out-of-date something old something that people don't use anymore

can be described as obsolete out-of-date old it is no longer used yes

Palmyra says what about obsolete yes there is I just I just mentioned it

that's pretty cool isn't it I think maybe maybe you are psychic Palmyra

I think Palmyra knew that that word was going to come on the screen so there it

is obsolete something that is out of date that we no longer use something

that's up to date if something is up to date it means it is current so something

that exists now and is useful something is up-to-date

maybe some news that you've received and this is the latest news we can say that

the news is up-to-date it is the current news it is the news that is happening

now so the news is up-to-date we might say that your phone is up-to-date it is

something that is current new something that lots of people are buying it is

up-to-date maybe your computer maybe the program inside your computer needs

refreshing or renewing you have to have an update then we can say that your

computer is up-to-date so everything inside your computer is current it is

new it is not old is up to date am it oh um it makes a

very interesting very interesting observation the BlackBerry phones are

obsolete do you remember when everyone was

talking about Blackberry phones I remember when BlackBerry's were

everywhere and people often used them in their business so quite often people

people had their blackberry phone if they were in business because it had a

certain type of software and a certain type of function that allows you to use

it for business however as soon as the iPhone came along

BlackBerry's vanished they became out moded have you seen this

word before if something is outmoded it means it is out-of-date it is something

that people don't do something people don't use anymore

it is outmoded you might describe a type of transport as being out moded so

something that is no longer popular a lot of people don't like taking the bus

so a lot of people see buses as outmoded and that's one of the reasons why people

don't like taking the bus they don't see it as fashionable or cool they see it as

outmoded they would much rather have a car I think so

hello to Amit again hello also Cesar hello Cesar nice to see you pal Mira

says Donald Trump said that NATO is obsolete yes I remember that yes that

was that was a few months ago wasn't it he said that hello Tao Tao why have they

changed the name of the corona into covered 19 well I must be honest

with you I think coronavirus was the one that most people were familiar with but

covered covered 19 is much harder to say so I think coronavirus is much easier to

say don't you I think so hello also net row hello also

to Perry sir hello Perry sir I love your red shirt

and also your hat for Valentine's Day yes it is Valentine's Day it is the day

of love it is the day where all the young lovers get together whether you

are human or maybe a pigeon

Oh lovely some pigeons and also some devs who are

in

hmm I'm going sue it is almost time to say goodbye if something has become

unfashionable if something is out of date we might describe it as passe

something that is out of date something that is so yesterday something that

people no longer do it is so passe passe something that people no longer do

however this word is actually French but we do use it in English as well so you

will be surprised to find out that there are many words in English that come from

other languages directly and this is a very good example of that oh I see

something out of the corner of my eye I can sense something I can sense a person

nearby can you guess who it is who who can guess who is walking into the room

right now just over there it's hello it's mr. Steve hello mr. Duncan how are

can catch Steve every Sunday so Steve normally joins me on Sunday here in the

studio however at the moment he's he's just come back from work he's very tired

he's had a long day Oh talking of something old something that is dated

might be old as well so an old thing can be described as dated something there is

old worn out something that can't be used anymore

we can describe it as dated maybe an old book that has information inside it that

people don't use anymore so maybe information can be dated something that

is old something that is no longer referred to can be described as dated

old out-of-date something that is no longer used I hope no one ever says that

I am dated or outdated which is basically the same thing Thank You Lewis
