oh there you are...

01:12
You’re over there...
1
72221
1468
01:13
I thought you were here.
2
73689
4188
01:17
I thought you was going to meet me here.
3
77877
4905
01:22
But unfortunately, you are all the way over there.
4
82782
5021
01:27
Okay. Wait there. I'm coming.
5
87803
2853
01:31
I thought you were waiting over there.
6
91223
2836
01:34
As we arranged.
7
94059
3370
01:37
Okay. Don't worry.
8
97429
2119
01:39
I'm coming.
9
99548
2019
01:43
Oh. Oh, there you are. Hi, everybody.
10
103218
2870
01:46
This is Mr Duncan in England. How are you today? Are you okay?
11
106088
4688
01:50
I hope so. Are you happy?
12
110776
2970
01:53
Are you feeling happy today? I hope you are.
13
113746
3386
01:57
Because we are back together once again. Live.
14
117132
3487
02:00
I couldn't resist coming outside today because the weather is so nice.
15
120619
5989
02:07
It really does feel as if autumn is in the air.
16
127009
5989
02:13
The air is very fresh, crisp.
17
133599
3420
02:17
It feels like autumn has arrived.
18
137019
5138
02:22
Some of the trees have already started to change.
19
142157
5122
02:27
You might be able to see behind me over there.
20
147279
3003
02:30
You might be able to see some of the leaves on the trees have already started to change.
21
150282
8492
02:38
It's great to be here with you by the way.
22
158807
2602
02:41
For those wondering, who the heck is this? My name is Mr. Duncan.
23
161409
5222
02:47
I talk about the English language.
24
167832
2319
02:50
You might say that I am an English addict.
25
170151
2837
02:52
Like it says here.
26
172988
3603
02:56
That's what it says on my microphone. You see.
27
176591
2786
02:59
So it must be true.
28
179377
1619
03:00
It must be.
29
180996
1301
03:02
When you think about it.
30
182297
1518
03:03
And I teach English.
31
183815
2402
03:06
I've been doing it for a long time, and I love the English language.
32
186217
5256
03:11
And I like teaching English.
33
191473
2485
03:13
I couldn't resist coming on today. I thought.
34
193958
3120
03:17
Shall I go for a walk?
35
197078
2619
03:19
The answer to that question was yes.
36
199697
2853
03:22
And then I thought, shall I do a live stream, a surprise live stream
37
202550
5989
03:29
once again?
38
209257
1034
03:30
The answer was yes.
39
210291
1969
03:32
So here I am. Only for a few minutes. So I am going into town at the moment.
40
212260
4988
03:37
So town is over there.
41
217248
3303
03:40
So if I continue walking over there, I will eventually end up in town.
42
220551
6440
03:47
The place I am at at the moment is called Much Wenlock.
43
227358
5305
03:52
You can look it up on Google if you want.
44
232663
3904
03:56
Much Wenlock is where I am right now.
45
236567
4021
04:00
And as if you haven't already guessed,
46
240588
2302
04:04
I am standing at a place called Windmill Hill.
47
244008
5188
04:09
Do you know why they call it Windmill Hill?
48
249196
3954
04:13
No. Me neither.
49
253150
2136
04:15
I have no idea why.
50
255286
3537
04:18
No. No idea why they call this place Windmill Hill.
51
258823
4054
04:22
Anyway, if you don't know about this place, this is Much Wenlock.
52
262877
3570
04:26
It is very famous for one reason.
53
266447
3353
04:29
And this is the place that was the inspiration for the modern Olympic Games.
54
269800
6090
04:37
Way way, way, way, way, way back in time.
55
277458
4938
04:42
And can you believe it?
56
282396
2669
04:45
The actual games are still held here in Much Wenlock,
57
285065
5706
04:50
so they still have their own Olympian games here in Much Wenlock.
58
290771
6189
04:57
And a long time ago.
59
297494
3053
05:00
This place was the inspiration for the modern Olympic Games as well.
60
300547
5890
05:06
So that is a brief history.
61
306437
1768
05:08
And I would say the most notable reason why Much Wenlock is famous.
62
308205
8141
05:16
Of course, the other reason is because Mr. Duncan lives here. That's me, by the way.
63
316363
5606
05:23
I hope you are okay today.
64
323236
1686
05:24
Friday has arrived. I hope you are having a good Friday.
65
324922
5688
05:30
I hope Friday is proving to be a rather interesting day for you,
66
330610
6807
05:37
and I hope my appearance here on YouTube has made it a little bit more interesting as well.
67
337417
7207
05:45
I suppose I should say hello to the live chat, because I would assume there are some people watching on the live chat.
68
345108
8792
05:54
Hello to Florence. Hello, Florence.
69
354818
3520
05:58
Nice to see you here. Watching today.
70
358338
4338
06:02
Hello to Ray.
71
362676
2085
06:04
Hello, Ray. Who asks where is the location?
72
364761
4187
06:08
I am in England, a beautiful part of England in the countryside, in a place called Much Wenlock.
73
368948
9693
06:18
It is a beautiful rural location.
74
378942
4771
06:23
So when we say that something is rural, it means it is in the countryside, far away from all of the big cities and towns.
75
383713
10410
06:35
And yes, there is a small town just over there behind me.
76
395241
5155
06:40
So behind me over there is the town. In fact.
77
400396
4705
06:45
In the past I have done quite a few live streams from the town, which is just over there.
78
405101
9092
06:54
One of the main reasons why I don't do it from the town anymore is because there is no mobile phone signal.
79
414727
9660
07:04
I don't know why, but the internet connection through the mobile phone is terrible in Much Wenlock.
80
424587
7574
07:13
Another thing I've just realised is I forgot
81
433546
4321
07:17
to bring some water with me,
82
437867
3687
07:21
so that might be a problem if I start getting a dry throat.
83
441554
5555
07:27
The strange thing is, it really does look as if it's about to rain.
84
447109
5072
07:32
I don't know why.
85
452181
1285
07:33
I checked the weather forecast this morning and it said that it was going to be sunny with some cloud.
86
453466
8041
07:41
Not much.
87
461740
1168
07:42
However, at the moment there are lots of very dark, ominous clouds hanging over my head.
88
462908
8409
07:51
If we describe something as ominous, it means it is bringing doom and gloom.
89
471967
8409
08:00
We see it as a sign of something bad happening.
90
480609
4988
08:05
Something that is ominous can be threatening.
91
485597
4405
08:10
It is coming towards you.
92
490002
2436
08:12
It might bring something bad or negative. You know what?
93
492438
4854
08:18
The live chat is slowly getting busy.
94
498377
3420
08:21
I know that there are.
95
501797
5839
08:27
Not many people on at the moment because I did not announce this.
96
507636
3487
08:31
You see?
97
511123
984
08:32
What is the time there?
98
512107
2102
08:34
At the moment it is 2:08 o'clock on a Friday afternoon.
99
514209
8308
08:42
Just to let you know, to do.
100
522517
4388
08:46
I don't know if you can see that, but there it is, 2:08 o'clock on a Friday afternoon.
101
526905
9843
08:57
Could you please give me some information about universities and the faculties for ESL?
102
537516
5555
09:03
ESL teachers?
103
543071
2469
09:05
Well, there are many universities of language.
104
545540
2603
09:08
Birmingham is a good one.
105
548143
1284
09:09
If you want to go to a university that is central in the UK.
106
549427
5322
09:14
But of course there are many universities that can give you a diploma or a higher degree in all subjects, to be honest.
107
554749
9727
09:24
One of the most famous universities around here, and it might be one that you've never heard of, is Keele University in Stoke on Trent.
108
564492
11929
09:36
It is very close to Stoke on Trent, but a very well known university,
109
576437
6507
09:43
and they do have a lot of very good teachers, lecturers.
110
583244
5873
09:49
In fact,
111
589117
967
09:51
two people, two people from my family have actually been to that university.
112
591252
5606
09:56
So there you go. So that is my recommendation.
113
596858
3186
10:00
But to be honest with you, there are many universities across the country.
114
600044
6090
10:06
Some people prefer to go to London to have their higher education.
115
606150
6190
10:13
Some people prefer that they like the sound
116
613040
5239
10:18
when they say, oh yes, I'm at university in London.
117
618279
5739
10:24
It sounds better.
118
624018
2936
10:26
It doesn't really matter as long as you get a qualification at the end,
119
626954
5189
10:32
and as long as you work hard for that qualification, then I suppose it doesn't really matter where you go.
120
632143
7073
10:39
So I hope that answers your question all the time here.
121
639250
4688
10:43
Yes, I think I've already said what time it is here. I hope the live chat is still working because it is
122
643938
5455
10:50
a little quiet.
123
650411
934
10:51
Suddenly on the live stream.
124
651345
2936
10:54
Florence?
125
654281
1652
10:55
Florence asks, where are you, Mr. Duncan?
126
655933
3387
10:59
Can you please tell me where you are?
127
659320
2636
11:01
I am on Windmill Hill.
128
661956
4838
11:06
Florence also says, I went to Cambridge a long time ago, but only for three months.
129
666794
6606
11:13
Well, of course Cambridge University.
130
673717
2770
11:16
Well, when we say Cambridge, there are actually many universities in Cambridge and also Oxford.
131
676487
6389
11:23
So they have many different types of university in these places.
132
683076
4922
11:27
But once again, people do like to say, oh yes, I studied at Oxford
133
687998
8292
11:37
or I studied at Cambridge because it sounds better.
134
697040
5990
11:43
It almost sounds as if your education was much better because you went to a place like that, but it doesn't make any difference.
135
703180
9276
11:52
To be honest, if I was honest with you, it doesn't make any difference at all.
136
712789
5906
12:00
It would be nice to see a few more people here joining me today.
137
720197
3570
12:03
I know I did not announce this, so I might not stay for very long if no one is here to watch,
138
723767
5989
12:10
then it's pointless standing here talking to myself.
139
730206
4388
12:14
If I was completely honest with you.
140
734594
3337
12:17
I've had a really busy week this week, Mr. Steve.
141
737931
3270
12:21
By the way, can I just say poor Mr.
142
741201
3019
12:24
Steve is not feeling very well at the moment.
143
744220
4121
12:28
I think
144
748341
2086
12:30
he has caught a little bug from last weekend because we went to see a show,
145
750427
7774
12:39
and also I was there filming the show, as well as a special favour for this particular operatic society.
146
759035
9693
12:48
So I did that.
147
768728
1652
12:50
But I think Mr.
148
770380
934
12:51
Steve has picked up a bug, a little fever.
149
771314
4404
12:57
How am I?
150
777520
868
12:58
I'm perfectly all right. You know why?
151
778388
4020
13:02
Because I have such a strong community, such a strong body.
152
782408
6073
13:09
That's what I keep telling myself anyway.
153
789849
2135
13:11
So I am okay. But Mr. Steve, unfortunately, is not very well.
154
791984
4288
13:16
He's actually taken a couple of days off work, so he is at home at the moment, resting.
155
796272
6807
13:23
Just in case you are watching Mr. Steve.
156
803412
4104
13:27
I hope you feel better soon.
157
807516
3671
13:31
Don't worry about Mr. Steve. He will be all right.
158
811187
3086
13:34
He's just under the weather at the moment.
159
814273
3053
13:37
He's not feeling too well, but I'm sure he will be feeling much better soon as well.
160
817326
9426
13:48
I woke up this morning and I felt something
161
828187
5739
13:53
that I haven't felt for a long time.
162
833926
5989
14:00
Can you guess what it is?
163
840883
2219
14:03
Can you guess what
164
843102
1201
14:05
I felt this morning when I woke up?
165
845721
5906
14:11
And here it is.
166
851627
1435
14:13
It's.
167
853062
2619
14:15
I will give you a clue.
168
855681
3870
14:19
It has something to do with all of this.
169
859551
3621
14:23
It is something to do with this.
170
863172
4087
14:27
Why did I wake up with an unusual feeling this morning?
171
867259
5989
14:34
Hello, tower.
172
874149
818
14:34
Are you speaking at a normal speed now, or speaking a little bit slowly.
173
874967
3503
14:38
Well, normally I speak like this, so I hope you can understand what I'm saying. Well, this is how I normally speak.
174
878470
4721
14:43
When I normally speak, this is how we speak. So I hope you can understand me.
175
883191
4522
14:47
Is that better?
176
887713
1434
14:49
Is that how fast you want me to speak? No. This is my normal voice.
177
889147
5039
14:54
I can speak slower.
178
894186
2135
14:56
Hello.
179
896321
1618
14:57
My name is Mr..
180
897939
3537
15:01
Oh, I can speak much faster. Hi, everybody, this is Mr. Duncan. How was it today?
181
901476
4822
15:06
Are you okay? Yes. Today we're talking.
182
906298
1935
15:08
You see? You see? So this is how I normally speak.
183
908233
3503
15:11
If you've never listened to my voice this morning
184
911736
2853
15:15
or before,
185
915907
1902
15:17
ever in your life, this is how I normally speak.
186
917809
3270
15:21
So I'm not speaking in a strange way. I'm not speaking slowly.
187
921079
5122
15:26
This is how I normally speak.
188
926201
2018
15:28
This is my voice. It's coming out of my mouth now.
189
928219
2720
15:30
My normal speaking voice.
190
930939
3220
15:34
I don't know why, but people seem to think that I change my voice for this, but I don't.
191
934159
4321
15:38
This is how I normally speak.
192
938480
2786
15:41
If you've ever met me in real life, and I know some of you have, you will know that I speak in exactly
193
941266
6273
15:47
the same way in real life as I do here.
194
947539
3887
15:51
So everything I'm doing now is as I normally speak. I'm not slowing down.
195
951426
5205
15:56
I'm not doing anything different. As long as you can understand me.
196
956631
5455
16:03
That, of course, is the most important thing of all.
197
963187
4505
16:07
So I hope that answers your question.
198
967692
4438
16:12
My normal speed is this.
199
972130
3720
16:15
Of course, a lot of people say, Mr.
200
975850
1535
16:17
Duncan, your voice is very nice to listen to because it's very clear. It's clear.
201
977385
5372
16:22
So it isn't just about how fast you speak, but also how clearly you pronounce the words.
202
982757
6356
16:29
Some people are very lazy when they speak.
203
989480
3587
16:33
They can't pronounce the words clearly because they are a little bit lazy.
204
993067
6006
16:39
So I hope with my English lessons I will give you lots of motivation
205
999590
6206
16:46
to improve your listening, but also your pronunciation as well.
206
1006147
6006
16:52
Do you teach anywhere?
207
1012419
3237
16:55
I teach all over the internet right now.
208
1015656
4121
16:59
This is taking up all of my time.
209
1019777
2903
17:02
I get the feeling I am starting to think maybe toe are.
210
1022680
5105
17:11
Toe are.
211
1031739
1234
17:12
I think you might be a new viewer,
212
1032973
3871
17:16
so I will quickly give you a story of what I do.
213
1036844
4738
17:21
I teach English on YouTube.
214
1041582
2068
17:23
I've been doing this here
215
1043650
2470
17:26
for nearly 18 years.
216
1046120
3320
17:29
So I hope that answers your question.
217
1049440
2068
17:31
In fact, I was the first ever English English teacher.
218
1051508
3988
17:35
The first English teacher on YouTube.
219
1055496
4754
17:40
Way back in 2006. It's true.
220
1060250
4521
17:44
You can ask ChatGPT
221
1064771
3120
17:47
about that because apparently, apparently I don't know why, but artificial intelligence seems to be recommending me.
222
1067891
8859
17:57
As an English teacher on YouTube, maybe it's because I've been doing it for such a long time.
223
1077467
5673
18:03
Perhaps that is the reason.
224
1083140
4337
18:07
That's a good question. Florence.
225
1087477
1769
18:09
Where are you at the moment?
226
1089246
3036
18:12
Where are you? Please let me know.
227
1092282
2636
18:14
That would be a good idea.
228
1094918
3670
18:20
Hello to Hannah.
229
1100991
2152
18:23
Hello, Hannah.
230
1103143
2886
18:26
A large hello to you as well.
231
1106029
2469
18:28
I hope you are all right on this Friday.
232
1108498
3620
18:32
It is Friday already. We are.
233
1112118
2703
18:34
We are nearly halfway through October.
234
1114821
4104
18:38
I can't believe it.
235
1118925
1618
18:40
Only a few weeks left of this year.
236
1120543
4838
18:45
So I think it's about eight weeks.
237
1125381
2303
18:47
Eight weeks until the end of the year.
238
1127684
2936
18:50
Am I right?
239
1130620
1201
18:51
Yes. About eight weeks, maybe nine weeks before the end of 2024.
240
1131821
6757
18:59
Already I've started to think about what to do next year.
241
1139746
5555
19:05
I would like to do something different next year.
242
1145301
4338
19:09
We all do this whenever the new year approaches.
243
1149639
4738
19:14
We always like to make plans for the following year.
244
1154377
4504
19:18
And of course, one of the things we will be doing next year, we will be doing the rendezvous next year.
245
1158881
8792
19:27
And that will be an opportunity for you to meet me
246
1167940
6190
19:35
in real life.
247
1175831
1919
19:37
So we've done this twice already.
248
1177750
2019
19:39
We did it once last year.
249
1179769
3537
19:43
We did it once this year and we are going to do it again next year.
250
1183306
6156
19:49
So in 2025, we are going to have another super duper English addict rendezvous.
251
1189745
9393
19:59
So I hope you
252
1199655
3804
20:03
will be doing that as well.
253
1203459
2069
20:05
Maybe you will be meeting up with us.
254
1205528
6005
20:13
Are you available on
255
1213686
2319
20:16
split?
256
1216005
1401
20:17
I've never heard of that. I'm not sure what split is.
257
1217406
4154
20:21
It might be Spotify. Do you mean Spotify?
258
1221560
4188
20:25
I'm not on Spotify.
259
1225748
2736
20:28
Everybody else is, but I'm not.
260
1228484
3353
20:31
You see, I'm different.
261
1231837
2769
20:34
A lot of people go on to sites like Spotify and Tik Tok because they want to just make lots and lots and lots and lots of money.
262
1234606
9176
20:44
But for me.
263
1244867
2936
20:47
It isn't quite as important as that.
264
1247803
6006
20:55
Uzbekistan.
265
1255577
1351
20:56
Hello to her as Becca. Stan is watching. Hello to you.
266
1256928
4488
21:01
Nice to see you here.
267
1261416
1752
21:03
If it is your first time, please let me know.
268
1263168
3837
21:07
So, have you seen me before?
269
1267005
2286
21:09
Have you watched any of my live streams or my English lessons before?
270
1269291
6857
21:16
Because on my YouTube channel, there are many, many English lessons
271
1276548
7024
21:23
that you can listen to for as many times as you want.
272
1283955
6006
21:30
Oh very interesting.
273
1290762
2169
21:32
We have Luis Mendez is here today.
274
1292931
6056
21:39
Hello, Luis.
275
1299070
1018
21:40
Nice to see you here as well.
276
1300088
2369
21:42
I hope you are having a lovely sunny day where you are because at the moment here in England,
277
1302457
6573
21:49
can you see we're having a rather beautiful day?
278
1309431
4704
21:54
It is so lovely.
279
1314135
1585
21:55
And in the distance some of the trees are already starting to turn.
280
1315720
6006
22:02
As autumn begins.
281
1322176
3053
22:07
So that is the view we have today.
282
1327065
2185
22:09
Looking rather nice. Lots of trees.
283
1329250
3487
22:12
Some of them are changing their colour.
284
1332737
3353
22:16
Some of them are starting to
285
1336090
3454
22:19
turn gold or red depending on what type of tree they are.
286
1339544
6873
22:26
So it is nice to see you here, Luis.
287
1346918
2135
22:29
I hope you are having a glorious day where you are as well.
288
1349053
5639
22:34
By the way, I suppose I should mention that I normally here live every Sunday,
289
1354692
7658
22:42
Sunday and Wednesday in my little studio.
290
1362967
6006
22:49
Nice and warm.
291
1369340
1735
22:51
So what was the strange thing I felt this morning?
292
1371075
3470
22:54
I will tell you.
293
1374545
2853
22:57
I felt cold.
294
1377398
2853
23:00
I felt really cold this morning
295
1380251
4588
23:04
I woke up, I was freezing cold.
296
1384839
3219
23:08
So I got out of bed. I looked out the window and everything
297
1388058
3504
23:12
was white
298
1392796
2119
23:14
with frost.
299
1394915
1869
23:16
It was so cold.
300
1396784
2302
23:19
All of the moisture on the ground had frozen.
301
1399086
4304
23:23
So everything outside my house this morning was white.
302
1403390
4588
23:27
The grass, the roofs of the houses and
303
1407978
5989
23:34
well, everywhere basically.
304
1414635
1535
23:36
So that is the reason why I woke up this morning with a very strange feeling.
305
1416170
3987
23:40
My feet were cold and I wondered why.
306
1420157
4104
23:44
So I got out of bed and there it was.
307
1424261
2336
23:46
Beautiful Frost everywhere.
308
1426597
3903
23:50
Really really nice.
309
1430500
2920
23:53
Hello, Javi. Hello, Javi.
310
1433420
3871
23:57
Javi! Valin.
311
1437291
2569
23:59
Tiene is here.
312
1439860
1835
24:01
Hello to you.
313
1441695
751
24:02
Thank you very much for joining me again on this Friday.
314
1442446
5221
24:07
I am coming to you live from Much Wenlock at the top of Windmill Hill.
315
1447667
5990
24:13
Do you know why they call it Windmill Hill?
316
1453757
5989
24:21
I wonder why.
317
1461014
1852
24:22
Why do they call this place windmill Hill?
318
1462866
3954
26:23
I suppose it's a little bit ironic
319
1583385
3270
26:26
that the wind has dmaged the windmill.
320
1586655
4321
26:30
Because you wouldn't imagine that the wind would damage the windmill.
321
1590976
5522
26:36
Because the windmill is designed to withstand the wind.
322
1596498
5990
26:42
But there you go. You can't have everything in this life.
323
1602771
4138
26:46
Hello there.
324
1606909
1167
26:48
This is Mr. Duncan in England
325
1608076
3003
26:51
on a Friday afternoon. Having some fun.
326
1611079
3137
26:54
Do you know what
327
1614216
2586
26:56
a lot of people ask me?
328
1616802
1318
26:58
Mr. Duncan, what is the meaning of life?
329
1618120
3787
27:01
What is the meaning of all this?
330
1621907
2269
27:04
What is the meaning of all this? Gone. And all this for
331
1624176
4187
27:09
and everything around us.
332
1629765
2152
27:11
What is the meaning of it?
333
1631917
3069
27:14
And I always say the meaning is.
334
1634986
5990
27:21
To be happy. To have fun.
335
1641910
2185
27:24
Sometimes you just have to have a little bit of fun.
336
1644095
3304
27:27
You have to have a smile on your face and.
337
1647399
6006
27:35
A spring in your step.
338
1655807
2519
27:38
That's what I say anyway. You might disagree with me. You might say that, Mr. Duncan.
339
1658326
5072
27:43
Life is not always a bowl of cherries.
340
1663398
4338
27:47
Life is not always fun and laughter.
341
1667736
6006
27:54
Hello? Suck. Sham.
342
1674309
3186
27:57
My question is not academic.
343
1677495
1952
27:59
Can you please tell me how to find a person?
344
1679447
4071
28:03
A passion as you have for English?
345
1683518
3754
28:07
So how do you find the same passion as I actually have for the English language?
346
1687272
8458
28:16
Well, I suppose it's all about feeling and emotion.
347
1696097
4404
28:20
It is. So anything that you enjoy
348
1700501
3037
28:24
is all about the feeling you get from it.
349
1704822
4855
28:29
So with me, I've always been fascinated by the English language since I was a child.
350
1709677
6373
28:37
I used to love writing stories.
351
1717034
2970
28:40
When I was at high school. I used to write lots of stories for my English teacher.
352
1720004
5189
28:45
Then I would give them to them.
353
1725193
1418
28:46
So I've always been interested in English in the way English is used
354
1726611
5805
28:52
in stories, in essays, and of course, in daily speech.
355
1732416
6073
28:59
So it is a fascinating thing.
356
1739657
2419
29:02
As I always say, the world of English is a fun and exciting place to be.
357
1742076
5789
29:07
I'm so glad you could join me for another live stream.
358
1747865
4771
29:12
So I suppose the passion comes from within.
359
1752636
3404
29:16
It is a feeling if you wake up in the morning and you feel excited
360
1756040
4621
29:21
by something, or you feel excited about something
361
1761979
4621
29:26
that is your passion, that is it.
362
1766600
5789
29:32
I suppose it's hard to create passion inside.
363
1772389
5990
29:39
It's a little bit like when you meet a person.
364
1779046
3086
29:42
If you don't like someone,
365
1782132
2903
29:45
you can't make yourself like them. Really.
366
1785035
4471
29:49
You can't.
367
1789506
1352
29:50
You can't make yourself like them.
368
1790858
3119
29:53
You either like them or you don't like them.
369
1793977
3103
29:57
You can't make yourself like them.
370
1797080
3387
30:00
So I think that's one of the main things about anything in life, something you have a passion for.
371
1800467
5572
30:06
It's normally something that you have a strong attraction towards anyway.
372
1806039
6206
30:12
It is already there.
373
1812996
2219
30:15
So all I've done, I suppose, is I've.
374
1815215
3754
30:18
I've built
375
1818969
2069
30:21
on my interest or my passion for that particular thing.
376
1821038
5338
30:26
I suppose it's what most people say.
377
1826376

Most people normally say that.
378
1828478
2503
30:30
They normally say they have a passion for something.
379
1830981
4821
30:35
So my passion has always been communicating using English and of course using
380
1835802
7141
30:44
cameras, video equipment, recording equipment.
381
1844110

2886
32:29
So? So I was working very hard there in China.
418

So I hope you don't mind me interrupting you.
419
1952568
3120
32:35
No, no, that's all right, then I was worried.
420
1955688
2702
32:38
You see, I said hello, and you said hello, and I said, do you want to come over here?
421
1958390
5239
32:43
And I wasn't sure if you were going to.
422
1963629

35:40
So I hope you enjoyed that.
476
2140537
2670
35:43
The live chat has now gone into stunned silence.
477

6006
35:52
I think the aeroplane is going to land.

1385
36:11
What a lovely moment of time. I was not expecting that.
483
2171051
3904
36:14
I thought I would be standing here at the top of the hill talking to myself.
484
2174955
5305
36:20
But we had some special guests from China. It's not lovely.
485
2180260
3787
36:24
How strange. How?
486
2184047
2336
36:26
How bizarre is fact.
487
2186383
3720
36:30
I will be going in a moment.
488
2190103

36:32
I'm going into town because I have to buy something for Mr.

3370
36:35
Steve because he's not feeling very well.
490
2195926
2853
36:38
Unfortunately, he's feeling a little poorly.
491
2198779

36:42
So I have to go into town to buy something nice for him.
492

1801
37:05
I am David from Mexico.
498
2225588
3104
37:08
Can I say a big hello to Mexico from England,
499
2228692
5638
37:15
which is where I am right now with some special guests as well.
500
2235532
5989
37:21
Wasn't that strange?
501
2241521
2519
37:24
Wasn't that nice?
502
2244040
1568
37:25
Something nice, something unusual?
503
2245608
3170
37:28
Even so, I quite enjoyed that.
504
2248778
2953
37:31

3503
37:55
When I say all of this, I just mean everything.
510
2275004
3687
37:58
Everything.
511
2278691
2336
38:01
The experience of waking up in the morning, in the morning
512
2281027
4905
38:05
with a smile on my face.
513
2285932
3236
38:09
You know the one thing I can't believe?
514
2289168
2152
38:11
I can't believe they didn't know who I was.
515
2291320
3854
38:15
I have to say I'm a little bit disappointed by that.
516
2295174
2753
38:20
I was expecting them to say, oh, look, it's Mr.
517
2300046
3603
38:23
Duncan from the internet.
518
2303649
3087
38:26
But they didn't.
519
2306736
1151
38:27
They didn't say that, unfortunately, because they've never heard of me.
520
2307887
4321
38:32
Well, they have now, just like you have.
521
2312208

39:53
What more could you ask for?
540
2393471
2219
39:55
And of course we had the windmill as well, which I found now.

I didn't know it was there, but today I discovered it.
542

6006
40:08
To be honest with you, I'm slightly disappointed.
543
