can't look away you are enthralled by it bewildered it's amazing what i'm looking at at the moment

i can't believe it i am completely enthralled in what you are doing so i hope you are the

live chat is on we are talking about something very interesting today a subject that does

come up quite often we are talking about bravery being brave or i suppose another word we can

use is courageous i like that word very much a person who is brave a person who is courageous

we are looking at words connected to that particular thing later on and there are many

ways of describing a person who is brave who has courage but what about you would you say

that you are a brave person we will be talking about that in a few moments time we have mr

steve here yes steve is back he's been very busy in the garden once again we will be taking

a look at what steve has been up to in the garden he has been very busy over the past

few days doing all sorts of things and also i i mentioned something last wednesday did

you see me last wednesday i don't know why but it seems such a long time ago

wednesday i was with you live but i don't know why last week went by very slowly it

feels as if last week was very long and i have no idea why perhaps it was because i

wasn't feeling very well maybe maybe not but i was with you on wednesday and i talked about

a news channel that launched last sunday here in the uk called gb news and the gb stands

for great britain it is a channel that has caused a little bit of controversy because

it does tend to lean more towards the right so it has caused a little bit of a stir because

its opinions are a little bit more outspoken and a little less unbiased let's just say

oh i like that word as well lots of interesting words coming up today biased so if you are

biased it means you favour a certain thing you would prefer to talk about that thing

or maybe you will give favours to a certain person so you will always treat them well

no matter what they do you will be biased towards that person or maybe that group of

people so this news channel launched last week but already a lot of people are talking

about it not because of its views not because of the things they are discussing but because

of their technical problems very interesting so most of the people commenting on the new

channel are actually talking about how bad all of the technology is that they are using

they they seem to make so many mistakes when they are talking sometimes people can't be

heard because their microphones are not working sometimes the camera is pointing in the wrong

direction so there have been many technical difficulties during the first week of this

particular news channel and it suddenly reminded me of a very interesting phrase that we can

use to describe problems that you are having we can say that you are having teething troubles

it's a very interesting phrase teething troubles if you are having teething troubles it means

you are having problems during the start of something new

something that you are beginning quite often involving machinery or technology something

that you are trying to use however it is not going very well it's not going right you are

having lots of problems so we can describe those problems as teething troubles problems

you are having whilst starting something something you are trying to do but at the start you

are having lots of problems lots of difficulties they are described as teething troubles i

remember when i first started doing my live streams way back in 2016 when i started doing

live streams i had lots of teething troubles you could also say teething problems things

that are going wrong at the start of something new that you are beginning to do so this particular

news channel is having lots of technical problems because they are new they have just started

doing the thing they are doing we can also say that something is it is off to a bumpy

start if something has a bumpy start

it means it has a difficult beginning the beginning is not going smoothly instead it

is going bumpy it means you are having lots of difficulties lots of problems teething

troubles teething problems you could say that it is off to a bumpy start that means things

are not going well you are having lots of difficulties lots of problems as you begin

to do something new so i thought though those were both interesting phrases to use if you

are beginning something if you are starting something off for the first time and quite

often when you begin something new there are many problems that you have to overcome we

we often describe this as adversity another word that i love so much adversity can be

your greatest enemy but also it can be your best friend the difficulties you have when

you are trying to do something the things you have to overcome are often described as

being an ad adversary or something that is not going right so something that is difficult

something that is not going as planned can be that thing so i always find that those

problems can actually make you stronger in life you might have difficulties you might

have problems that come along and then you have to overcome them you have to get through

those difficult situations but of course if you do it if you overcome those problems you

normally find that you get a little bit of extra strength as well and maybe you learn

something new so adversity can be something that is very useful even though when it is

happening it's a real pain in the neck but it can be a very good thing facing difficulties

facing problems might also be described as bravery being courageous so quite often if

you are doing something and you know that that thing is going to create a lot of problems

like doing this for example doing this is not easy it looks easy but it isn't there

are many problems many difficulties that must be overcome

quite often every week there is normally a new problem to sort out so that's the way

it works you see sometimes having difficulties sometimes having problems in your life can

actually be a good thing because if you overcome them you also gain strength as well talking

of things that are sometimes not going very well and sometimes going very well we have

the live chat hello to the live chat i haven't ignored you don't worry i am here and i'm

talking to you live don't worry about that hello to the live chat who was first today

lewis nice to see you here as well we also have la carandi hello la carandi i hope you

are feeling good today and i'm saying hello to you now live on youtube adele is here hello

adele max pro or should i say max po hello to you max where are you watching i wonder

i don't know you see so please let me know where are you hello also to mysterious person

hello mysterious person is a mystery that is why they are mysterious very mysterious

indeed

something like that hello mysterious person i like your accent thank you very much i have

a british accent i'm not american a lot of people still wonder they say mr duncan where

are you are you in america i'm not in america i'm in the united kingdom great britain england

which is part of great britain and also part of the united kingdom talking of which oh

dear a lot of people here in england are not feeling very happy did you see the match on

friday night england playing scotland in the euro cup contest i don't want to call it euro

2020 because i don't want to say 2020. i i don't want to say 2020 ever again except for

then when i said it then but that's it i'm not saying it ever again so the euro football

contest

england did not score any goals unfortunately very embarrassing in fact i think so we are

talking about being brave today bravery doing something that requires a lot of courage something

that you might say requires some courageous act to be selfless is to be courageous but

what about you would you describe yourself as courageous would you say that you are a

courageous person when we say courageous we mean a person who shows or acts in a brave

way they do something brave they do something courageous so what about you have you ever

done anything courageous in your life perhaps one of your neighbours was in trouble

maybe their house was on fire maybe someone nearby was having some difficulty maybe they

were being attacked in the street and maybe you stepped in maybe you joined in to help

them to fight them off you did something very brave something courageous i remember when

i was teaching in china i once had to do something very courageous i might tell you about it

later on because i sometimes get complaints you see whenever i talk about my time in china

some people do say mr duncan you always talk about when you were teaching in china and

sometimes it's very boring

okay we will see but i did do something many years ago very courageous that that i still

can't believe that i did and that's what happens sometimes when you do something courageous

or brave quite often you do it without thinking you do it on impulse you do it without thinking

so sometimes bravery is something something that happens without any planning you just

do it maybe you see a person in trouble and you you just help them you step in you do

something to help them you show courage you do something that is courageous so what about

you would you describe yourself as a courageous person let's have a look shall we on the live

chat oh we have a lot of people here oh it pedro belmont is here hello pedro it's nice

to see you here so what happened in my school we had a guy who came to teach in our school

and he was from canada now i have nothing against canadians before anyone accuses me

of it i have nothing against anyone from canada so please don't get the wrong idea about this

but there was a guy from canada and he came to our school to teach and he was an awful

person he really was he used to get drunk in his dormitory and then he would wander

around trying to get into the area where the female students were sleeping i'm not joking

he was a little bit he was a little bit crazy to be honest but he used to get very drunk

and sometimes he would turn up in the classroom drunk so because i was actually i was can

you believe it i was actually the assistant to the president of the school no one knows

this i've never mentioned it before because i don't like to show off but i was actually

promoted to the assistant to the president of the school and also can you believe it

i was also the vice dean of a training centre for teaching both young people and also adults

as well so those are two things that i did when i was in china i don't like to show off

because sometimes it's not a good a good thing to show off but that's what i did so this

crazy guy was going around the dormitories he was harassing the young girls he was being

a little bit crazy and so one night i had enough i i couldn't take it anymore so i banged

on his door i banged and banged and he opened the door and i was so angry i told him in

no uncertain terms he really did understand what i was telling him because i was very

angry and i felt really annoyed but i said to him you must stop what you're doing you

must stop harassing the students you have to change your behaviour or else you will

be out of this school and i will be the one to make sure that you leave and i did that

because i was so annoyed this person was becoming such a pain in the neck so that's what i did

that's what i did and about a week later he was fired from the school we we told him to

leave so a moment of bravery i still can't believe that i did it because anything could

have happened he could have come out with a knife he could have hit me but instead he

just stood there completely shocked because he wasn't expecting anyone to stand up to

him because he he thought that he could do anything and this is one thing i always came

across when i was in china there were a lot of people from the west a lot of western people

who believed that they were somehow superior to the locals living in the place where i

was working

so this is something that i came across quite often this arrogance that a lot of westerners

especially from places like the united states they would come and they would visit china

and they would work there but they would also have this this feeling of superiority is if

everything they did was better than the people in china so just a little thing you see just

a little thing that i wanted to mention so i did do something that i i think was a little

brave courageous but also maybe a little a little stupid as well because the guy could

have done anything to me he could have attacked me he could have beat me up he could have

thrown me out of the window but sometimes you have to do these things sometimes you

have to stand up for yourself you have to make a stand you have to do something because

you can't take any more so i would say that that was a brave thing that i did anyone else

i'm getting lots of compliments today thank you very much beatriz says mr duncan can you

please pronounce honest honest so the the letter h at the beginning is not really pronounced

you don't you don't say honest you say honest

honest

honest

i hope that helps you tomek is here hello tomic i'm sure in your life you have done

something very brave

and you can't say getting married because getting married is not brave a lot of people

do it oh by the way it's father's day today here in the uk everyone is celebrating father's

day it is daddy's day so if you are you you have your dad or your father nearby give him

a call give him a call from the next room give him a call on your telephone send him

an email if he's very far away so it is father's day today here in the uk so

happy father's day mr steve is coming up in a few moments but i thought we would have

a look at one of my full english lessons to have a little break so i can rest my my throat

because we have a long way to go we still have one and a half hours of this here it

is this is an excerpt from one of my full english lessons this is taken from full english

number 27 and then after that yes he is here

what will he be telling us today what will we be talking about today well we are going

to talk about courage but also other things as well mr steve he's on his way

oh there you are i've been waiting here for ages where have you been welcome to another

full english lesson with me mr duncan coming to you from the birthplace of johnny rotten

phil collins billy idol ringo starr and of course the english language i love english

so much i might actually marry it one day mr and mrs english we will be the most elegant

guests at the ball i can see it all now what a wonderful feeling oh sorry i drifted away

there i went into a daydream i became lost in my thoughts okay without any more fantasizing

or daydreaming let's get on with today's full english lesson right now

here's an interesting word that relates to a common form of human behaviour the word

is passive aggressive a passive aggressive person is someone who uses non-direct resistance

as a form of protest or as a means of reacting to something a common form of this behaviour

is the action of pretending to misunderstand or feign confusion you avoid confrontation

by acting dumb non-direct confrontation can take the form of silence avoiding contact

or refusing to speak to someone can be described as passive aggressive behaviour it is common

for those in long-term relationships to develop patterns of passive aggressive behaviour the

word passive is often used to show a submissive state whereas aggression is often seen as

being the opposite some see this word as an oxymoron two words that are used together

but have opposite meanings is an oxymoron passive aggressive behaviour is generally

seen as a normal part of human interaction however it can sometimes be linked to certain

personality disorders to avoid responsibility or conflict in a non-compliant way can be

described as passive aggressive behaviour

it's now time to take a look at another buzzword a buzz word is a word or phrase that is used

often during a certain period of time today's buzzword is

tariff the word tariff can be used as a noun or verb as a noun the word tariff is a form

of taxation or charge which is added to the sale of goods imported from overseas if china

wants to sell their goods to the usa then they will have to pay tariffs on what they

export the amount of each tariff depends on what types of goods are being sold high-end

or expensive items tend to have a very high tariff attached to them luxury items such

as cars and valuable commodities sold overseas such as oil and steel often carry heavy tariffs

the charge is added as a way of collecting the lost revenue which would otherwise be

generated domestically as a verb tariff is the action of putting the charge in place

a tariff can also be described as a levy tax toll duty excise it is a form of export tax

the country exporting the goods pays a tariff to the country that is importing them to charge

a tariff is to impose a fee the tariffs are put in place they are required they have been

enforced

do you like my garden i must say it looks rather nice today with all the plants coming

into bloom did you know that the word plant can be used in many ways as a verb the word

plant means to put something in the ground you place something in a hole and cover it

with soil you bury something in the ground you plant something to push something sharp

into the ground is plant you can plant a flagpole to carefully place a small flower or tree

with its roots under the soil is to plant you plant a flower you plant a tree you can

plant a kiss on another person to place something where it can easily be found is to plant the

evidence was planted in his apartment by the police as a noun the word plant can refer

to a large factory a person who goes undercover to pose as another person is a plant a certain

species of flower or other green foliage can be described as a plant you can plant a plant

grow a plant nourish a plant or like now you can enjoy a plant

yep do do do yes we are back and i hope you enjoyed that a full english lesson and there

are many full english lessons on my youtube channel

hello hello mr duncan hello wonderful viewers from across the world

who's back i am yes i am from a very busy week mr duncan once again mr steve's mother

has hallowed him to come on because he you don't know this and and i just want to let

you in on this secret every week steve has to phone his mother and ask if he can appear

on here drew it's true he has it hello mum hello mum it's steve here yes your naughty

son is it okay if i do a live stream with duncan uh honestly i won't say any rude words

and i won't say words like poo poo and we we i won't say anything like that is it okay

she says yes yes you can so that's the reason why he's here once again by permission my

mother is not the boss of me i'm sorry it's not what i've heard not at my age that's not

what i've nobody's the boss of me today steve we are talking about we are talking about

bravery bravery yes i was reading the uh the live stream uh notes i did what the live stream

notes yes the livestream the posts from various people there are some very brave people watching

us today i didn't realize how many brave people we have watching this although you've got

to be pretty brave to watch this anyway that's true it takes a lot of courage to sit through

this true yeah well uh you noticed that william william hello willian uh has been saving girls

at bus stops yes willian approached some some people at a bus stop and there were some girls

there and and they were being harassed by someone with a knife and willian stepped in

and helped save the girls for from whatever it was was about to happen horrendous and

christina saved a child from drowning that's amazing that's amazing you know quite often

when a person does that they often get some sort of award so yes did you get an award

you should do you should have got something a plaque some sort of bravery award exactly

um it's raining okay leon in france and it's raining all over the place in europe we've

had a very wet week yeah haven't we thunderstorms we've been getting all the thunderstorms that

have been sort of across europe they've been drifting towards us well apparently they had

it in spain then it sort of moved to france and then it went across the english channel

and then it came over here fortunately we weren't badly affected but we we have had

a lot of rain we didn't even hear a single rumble of thunder here and no thunder escaped

all of it he escaped every clap as it were yes well that type of clap anyway i found

out something about pedro as well watching the livestream okay because of course for

those who don't know steve steve has has desires certain desires apparently since since he

saw pedro with his ripped muscle even before then i was hooked yeah so they pedro has got

a french name okay apparently belmont is a french name well i've always saying i've always

thought that that that didn't sound very very amazonian amazonian or brazilian so half french

half brazilian what a what a combination quite a combination indeed anyway right yes there's

some very interesting comments about bravery all over your live stream today have you ever

done anything very brave well i i did talk about the the time when i i threw that guy

out of the school the canadian guy which who was causing a lot of trouble for the female

students he kept harassing them i i don't know what he was trying to do but i have my

i have my thoughts about what he was trying to do and one night i had enough and i knocked

on his door and i gave him quite a telling off if you tell someone off it means you are

giving them some sort of instructions in a very angry way you tell them off you tell

them that they shouldn't do something or quite often you will give them a warning as well

you might warn someone if you don't stop doing this i will i will have you removed from the

school and that's what i said and a week later he was gone all down to you you stood up to

him mr duncan like a man well you know why because i i actually had authority can you

believe that can you imagine me having authority chaos ensues when mr duncan has authority

yes so quite often if i said something at the school if i gave suggestions or had ideas

quite often they would listen to what i said and and quite often things would be changed

when we used to have these americans there used to be some americans that would come

to our school and they used to pretend that they were from microsoft but they weren't

they were they were from a church so they just made made their way into our school they

tricked their way into the schools so they could talk about religion to my students which

which was not very good because first of all they lied and the other thing of course is

that they did upset a lot of the students

so that's it that that's the line being crossed if you cross the line it means you've gone

too far and so so i had to do something about that so all of the changes that were implemented

were actually done by me i can't believe it i still can't believe i had so much power

so much authority is leaving goodbye belarusia nice to have seen you here i think that you're

doing so yes you're having your brother round oh uh and family so no doubt you'll be cooking

something cooking something very nice we will see you soon claude claudia or claudia you

see who's why did you mention that name because that's belarusia's real name oh i didn't know

that i do you know i've learned something today mr duncan really i didn't know that

belarusia's real name was claudia or claudia we would say claudia but sometimes it's claudia

yes well well belarusia likes to be called claudia because that's what her friends call

her oh right

claudia or claudia i hope you have a lovely time with your brother and family because

of course i don't know whether it's father's day where you are but it's certainly father's

day in a lot of countries including in the uk here it's father's day yeah sadly mr steve's

father is is no longer around uh and i don't see my father anymore so it's a long story

by the way so so so we're not really doing much with our fathers today i suppose mr steve

could could look up and say something but as far as i'm concerned i can't say anything

because my father is is out of my life i'm distracted because there is a cobweb

that is glistening in your lights in the studio okay like i cut keep i keep catching sight

of it okay in the corner i can move the cobweb if it's if it's annoying you steve well i

mean we might get a spider do you think it followed you from the outside because last

week we had a spider yes that was building a web around your camera that's fascinating

it's followed you inside mister okay i'm just going to remove the here we go i've never

done this before i've never moved anything towards the camera you need to go a bit further

mr duncan oh there we go there we go it's gone it's gone it's gone are you okay now

steve you spoilt a spider's day well it's only a small because it's got to build that

web all over again it must be going from one place to another probably it's got a little

nest that might explain uh some of your technical issues mr duncan you might have spiders that

are nesting in in your equipment that sounds very painful not crabs spiders and they could

be interfering with all the electronics because you've had a bit of an issue haven't you this

week with with your monitors well not the monitors but the graphics card inside the

computer but i've managed to work around it and that's what happens sometimes when you

have difficulties sometimes when you have problems

adversity it's a word i used earlier adversity things that come along and you have to deal

with them they are problems that you have to overcome so sometimes these things can

come by surprise you are not expecting them but you still have to deal with them and that's

what i've been doing so bravery lewis says luis mendes says i'm not very brave i can't

i was trying to wreck my brains rack my brain okay if you wreck your brains you're trying

to search for ideas or memories or something like that yes i'm wrecking my brains to think

of an example of when i was brave oh okay so i'm searching looking for something and

it it's a phrase that to indicate that you're having difficulty doesn't it if you're wrecking

your brains you're trying to drum up memories from somewhere you're just trying to yes you're

just trying to think of something yes yes but the the implication is that it's difficult

what you're doing can you think of any instance when i've been brave mr duncan apart from

coming on this show with you every week yes or or hooking it with me that's pretty brave

but i didn't know it at the time or i suppose have you done it well i suppose anything in

your life that scares you so yes going on stage going on stage

of course i forgot all about that yeah okay steve if i could just get the sentence out

so quite often things that just scare you things that might be something you have to

overcome can be can be brave so so bravery is not just about jumping into the water to

rescue someone bravery can also be just overcoming your own fears of whatever it is i had a huge

fear about singing in public yeah and performing in public and i i didn't do it for many many

years uh i mean i still frightened about it now but if you you know yes that's it challenging

yourself that that is bravery no matter what it is uh exactly so alessandra is wrecking

their brain as well and i'm sure that that is the correct spelling i'm sure yes that's

it it is racking your brain it really means that you're just really trying to think of

something and it's difficult yes something steve does all the time i'm always wrecking

my brain yeah so there are things that you have to overcome for example there are people

who are afraid of spiders they have arachnophobia but sometimes it's good to face your fears

for example have a look at this steve oh dear what this coming up now

oh my goodness oh we all remember the spiders remember the spiders that used to live with

us well a lot of people do suffer from arachnophobia and that is the fear of spiders you can see

that spider there you can't really tell how large it is but it is a big one it's as big

as your hand so this is a large tarantula and we we had three of these living with us

for nearly two years but a lot of people are afraid of spiders and look at the size of

that look how look how big it is it's going to move in a moment look steve look at that

oh my goodness um vitas has sent us a lovely little rhyme about a spider the itsy bitsy

spider went up the water spout down came the rain and washed the spider out out came the

sun and dried up all the rain now the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again that

sounds like a nurse that sounds like a nursery rhyme yes oh mr duncan you're probably frightening

off all our viewers with that uh hideous vision uh that horrific sight of a spider that could

be as big as a house yes it is it is a pretty big spider so some people are afraid of spiders

and there was a good example of one that i would imagine would would make a lot of people

very afraid yes alberto that said that there was a film called arachnophobia he calls it

a trash movie oh okay because apparently it was very bad it was terrible so the there

there have been lots of these films though with all sorts of animals attacking people

i suppose a lot of people think of jaws i was i was really frightened of jaws and then

and then there are the birds a very famous movie by alfred hitchcock not to be confused

with birdemic which is not the same film it's a very that's a very awful film and sharknado

have you ever heard of that there is a movie that is that is very famous for being quite

bad and it's called sharknado and it's where a tornado goes across the sea and it carries

lots of sharks and then the sharks are all dropped deposited yes dropped across a town

and then the film then consists of people being eaten by these sharks that sounds a

bit silly it is silly because surely sharks have to uh stay in the water to survive yes

it's a very it's a very silly movie with some some awful special effects oh by the way five

minutes from now or should i say four minutes we have flags of the world flags of the world

here we go i thought you might have uh decided to use something different no because no because

last week we had loads of complaints so i'm not i'm not having that you showed it last

week mr duncan the week before you didn't no it was last week yes didn't you show flags

of the world last week anyway anyway we could be arguing about this all day but someone

will tell us we have flags of the world coming up but steve was very busy in the garden this

week you you were once again checking your wood weren't you yes you were oh i see you

filmed me secretly i have been sneakily filming mr steve and there he is but what what are

you doing steve well i thought i'm going to see if i can bring some of that wood inside

because if it's dried enough in the sun then i can store it uh inside the house so that

we can use it in the winter yes we're very lucky actually because we have we actually

have an area that was built with the house and it's a place where you can actually store

your logs i would well yes it's a it's a fuel store yes i think because when the house was

originally built in the 1960s yes a lot of houses then had fireplaces

so they had to have somewhere to store their fuel so we're very lucky that we can actually

put our logs somewhere in the house and there is steve so so what are you doing you're checking

the the logs to make sure they're dry well i've got i bought myself an a moisture meter

so this is a piece of technology a moisture meter we we demonstrated it once on the live

stream because when when it's sort of below 12 percent it means we can burn it inside

that means that it's dried out sufficiently so that we're not damaging the chimney or

creating too much smoke and most of that half of it i would say is now ready for burning

some of it was well below sort of eight percent yes moisture this is boring people to tears

i'm sure it's definitely well to cut a long story short some of it still needs drying

out and that's what i've left there but i can see there you are covering up the wood

with some tarpaulin you are about to cover it up because we had a lot of rain last night

so this was mr steve actually yesterday afternoon and we did have a lot of rain so we have enough

i think we have enough firewood to keep us going next winter and maybe the winter afterwards

as well well i think the trouble is this firewood is soft wood okay from conifers so it's not

going to burn as slowly as hardwood uh so it's not going to last as long so i think

we'll get burned through it a lot quicker but anyway anyway we have lots of wood to

keep us warm but yes um anyway right during the winter we've had we've got a problem with

a rabbit a rabbit in the garden yeah okay well we don't have time to talk about that

okay it's three o'clock that's more interesting than wood three o'clock is coming up and you

know what that means thank you steve it means that uh pedro is the only person that's going

to be watching no there's a lot of people do you ever look at the life i'm joking i'm

joking

do you ever look at the live chat of course i'm looking at it all this everything everyone

is saying we are looking forward to seeing those flags of the world pedro has sent us

a picture a photo of his father we can't show it today because mr duncan would have to go

into his computer okay and uh you can't do it when you're live doing this so we'll show

it next week pedro yeah um because you can't it's you know anyway anyway technically it's

not possible are we having a bet today are we betting how many times steve says anyway

at the end of a sentence anyway it's three o'clock steve anyway it's time anyway for

those flags anyway of the world

anyway

mr steve was blowing his nose i wish i really wish you could have heard no vote i i wish

we could have heard the sound of steve blowing his nose is santorino says that i need to

be careful near piles of logs because apparently in in her country uh then you get snakes vipers

that live in the piles of logs while you'd be pleased to know uh saturday now that we

don't have poisonous snakes in the well we have adders don't we yes but they're not particularly

poisonous i'm not sure about vipers don't think we get vipers we get grass snakes and

adders adders i think you can get a nasty bite from an adder but there's none around

here and you certainly can't die from it but yes um i shall remember that if i ever go

abroad and see a pile of logs i shall stay well away from them of course you can always

you can always tell when you see an adder because it's carrying a calculator

oh mr duncan you're so funny i thought that was that was mildly amusing it was mildly

amusing mildly adders i expected i don't know whether people have heard of adders well it's

a type of snake yes so that's what we get here we get grass snakes which are fairly

harmless uh i've never seen an adder we don't have many of them i mean we don't have poisonous

spiders either no which i'm sure you get lots of in brazil louis points out that the largest

community of people watching us are brazilians yes we do get a lot of people in south america

watching south america and also vietnam probably two of the biggest places and also india you

might be surprised to find out we have a lot of viewers in india as well so india also

italy as well we have many people watching in italy so we are big in many parts of the

world ah beatrice notices that i am slowing my pronunciation of words almost two is helping

it's almost too slow i'm pleased to know that we've got banda from saudi arabia we do get

quite a few people watching us from saudi arabia as well so welcome

there's a football match on at the moment uh oh no somebody asks is italy playing now

oh i don't i don't know i don't know about football really all i know is england did

not do very well on friday against scotland in fact i had a very interesting question

that came through on my youtube channel asking why why are why is england playing in the

euros because england scotland and part of ireland northern ireland well actually not

northern ireland this is the problem this is the problem it's it's it's very hard to

to actually explain all of this but the reason why we're in the euros has nothing to do with

brexit so it's not about it's not about the political side of it or the economic side

it's just the geographical location yes political yes i mean for example turkey or also in the

euros so yes that's the euros is to do with people who live in europe yes not the european

union which is a different thing all together that's it just the continent so that is the

difference yes um i don't know whether turkey is technically in europe or not it's all about

money anyway i mean they wouldn't they wouldn't say even if it was you know european union

country football match tournament we'd still be in it anyway because unless england were

in it they'd lose lots of money it's all to do with money isn't it football money if you

say so probably what are we doing what's the theme of today apart from bravery well well

that's really one of the things we're talking about in a big way because we have lots of

words and expressions we also have the sentence game as well for those who like to have their

brains picked we have that we've had another invite to brazil oh it's italy versus wales

apparently is that going on now with that is that football match actually started italy

versus wales oh no

i don't know well it could well be but yes it's not just a field of sheep at one end

is it no i don't who invited us to um somebody invited us to south america earlier on uh

and i can't find out who it was um we'd love to go uh well i i of course i'd like to meet

a few brazilian people one in particular of course but who invited us to brazil i don't

know steve somebody invited us to brazil you are the one with your eye on the line oh yes

oh okay yes uh katyana or kathiana souza has invited us to brazil do you live near um pedro

by any chance it might be an incentive for me to you do realize that brazil is a huge

country i know i'd love to go that's like that i used to like i used to like it when

people used to say to me in china they used to say do you know do you know the queen like

somehow we would just pass each other in the street it's in two hours time uh the match

okay that's good

is that it that's it i'm just uh i'm just uh reiterating i i felt like there was more

coming up you see there i thought i thought more was going to be coming our way it's very

murky so so yes you are right today is very murky so that is the view right now live behind

us in fact i think you can see that i think that might be some sheep i can't quite tell

from here but that might be some sheep in the field in the distance but yes you are

right we we have murky weather tomic points out that israel is uh in the at the euros

football matches so yeah um and i wouldn't have thought israel was in europe the european

continent would you but uh there we go

but that's due to politics says tomek uh we should support wales says palmyra i'm not

going near i'm not going near that well anyway yeah it's down to money uh you should support

wales because we're near wales yes we should but we're still technically in england and

we're english uh so i suppose really we need to support england or we we would be seen

as traitors yeah well the other problem is i have no interest in football that's that's

really the the big thing i don't have any interest in the game of football to to be

honest don't take that the wrong way but today we've been talking about bravery steve so

we have done brave things in the past but i thought also it'd be interesting to have

a look at some words connected and also phrases for example if you are a brave person you

might describe someone having courage so to have courage to have strength to to face something

so quite often when we think about courage we often think about doing something brave

but of course courage can be something you have to keep with you for a very long time

to get yourself through a difficult situation

or something that you are trying to do so we always think of courage as one act but

actually courage can be something you have for a very long time something you have to

keep with you maybe you are facing some difficulty in your life such as a serious illness yes

you might have an illness which is very serious so courage is the thing that carries you through

that and your difficulty yes that difficulty that you that you do uh you do it quite often

without complaint courageous people often do something and they don't moan and groan

and they don't complain they just get on with it and do it yes although i think we sometimes

do use or overuse the word courageous or hero or brave we do sometimes overuse it definitely

you often hear if we're talking about football you often hear people describe uh certain

football players famous football players as heroes now that i think is something that

you could debate yes we often you often hear sporting hero yes as as if that person has

sort of done something brave and heroic which of course they might have done they might

have actually had to overcome their own personal problems or difficulties so it can happen

but i think sometimes we do overuse the word hero and brave quite often so to be courageous

if you have courage the action is described as being courageous you are doing something

courageous you are doing something that is seen as brave here's another one i like this

one steve to be gutsy gutsy gutsy gutsy yes it's interesting that it doesn't seem like

a real word quite often a person who is brave we often describe them as as having guts guts

so the thing that drives you forward the thing that pushes you to overcome the the problems

or the adversity we can say that you have guts you are gutsy so if you are gutsy it

means you don't let anything stop you you keep going you don't you don't give up you

don't fear us yes to be fearless yes good one gutsy for some reason your guts and that

that is referring to your guts your innards your intestines that part of your body for

some reason that's associated with bravery if you have lots of guts have you have you

got the guts to face up to that neighbour of yours and tell them how they've upset you

have you got the guts to hold that giant spider in your hand and if someone isn't brave you

call them you call them gutless less gutless g-u-t-l-e-s so a gutless person is a person

who is not brave another another uh um word you could use gutsy would be you know you

know he he or she's got balls that's another phrase that you use to say that somebody's

is brave and gutsy uh they've got balls

no comment mr duncan good but that isn't a b-a-l-s is is a phrase uh you can use if for

somebody who's behaving in a brave way yes for example somebody might be at a meeting

a work meeting and there's hundreds of people and somebody just is asked if they would make

a speech suddenly without warning and they they just put their hand up say i'll do it

you say well car he's got balls or she's got balls or she's gutsy he's he's gutsy

yes of course we won't say what the balls are referring to but they are part of the

body certain part of the male anatomy but that is what it's referring to but it does

mean brave yes and it's not rude to use that phrase is it you can use that phrase i've

never heard i've never heard any presidents or prime ministers ever ever saying balls

to mean courage here's a good one jimmy from hong kong another the opposite to gutsy another

is spineless yes a spineless person they have and quite that that derives from having a

backbone yes so a person who has backbone is a person who is brave who has courage and

the opposite is spineless that person has no backbone the spine that runs down your

back it holds you upright and that's what it's all about you see so having no spine

means that you don't stand up straight you're not willing to be seen or to be courageous

you have backbone you have no backbone

you don't want to be seen you don't have bravery if someone describes you as spineless and

thanks for that jimmy it's it really is quite uh that's not a nice thing to be called it

is not because nobody wants to be seen as not being courageous and not not having any

guts or any spine and that's often used um in specific ways i would say that phrase spineless

yeah so anyway we've got to move on steve okay uh sergio says i thought gutsy meant

somebody who poos a lot oh i see okay we we understand the joke it's very close see we

found the level to be plucky a person who is plucky again i like this i like this a

plucky person a person who has a lot of energy to be to be brave to push themselves forward

they are fearless a plucky person positive yes somebody with a very positive outlook

on life yes willing to volunteer for things and uh yeah plucky they're always willing

to put themselves forward in a situation that may or may not be dangerous positive outgoing

types of people um here's another one steve before we both force full silence a valiant

person valiant yes i like this one valiant it's a very old fashioned word yes it's it's

a valiant so so a valiant person is a person who shows bravery and of course this is derived

from valour valour is bravery so a valiant person shows bravery they are a valiant person

they are courageous i think that phrase used to be used a lot for people going into battle

in if you're in a war going into battle uh it's a very old-fashioned phrase uh the valiant

soldier uh you could describe but but yes i think it's used for conflict situations

uh and you might if you are a valiant person you might expect to get a medal uh for your

bravery um there's a song i can't remember what it is now the valiant brave people i

can't remember what the song is but somebody might remember

uh well you can you can get a medal yes for valiance quite often i think in the states

they actually describe them as as medals of valour so bravery to be brave to stand up

for yourself santorino says that we need to go and find a bear in the wood and prove that

it works are you talking about bravery and valour yes doing something brave i suppose

i i have done things that might be described as brave bold and daring bold to do something

or to be bold and daring that means you are pushing your limits so you are willing to

push yourself forward and do something maybe in the past something you may have been afraid

to do something maybe you feared so suddenly you are bold to do something bold and daring

maybe if you go out into the street wearing your your drag costume

and you walk around the neighbourhood it's waving to everyone hello yeah but i mean you

do that all the time anyway so that wouldn't be a mark of bravery no i suppose not yes

if you're yes if you're bold it means you're brave yeah you're willing to do something

that could potentially be dangerous or embarrassing here's another one you can be emboldened you

can get a feeling of emboldenment

where you just suddenly have that courage to do something yes to suddenly be overcome

with the feeling of of bravery you really want to do something about it gallant another

one gallant is a great word again very old-fashioned there was i think there is a hymn when a knight

won his spurs in the days of old they were gallant and brave is one of the lions so i

always remember that from school when we used to sing all of these religious songs at school

so this is this is again a a word that it might sound a little bit old-fashioned gallant

yes i think that normally refers to men and it's to do with being or showing bravery towards

women isn't it i think if you gallant well i think it's man is somebody who stands up

for women yes well stands up for a woman it's it's not related to gender it's just it just

means brave but if you're fearless if you're gallant yes i used to understand it as meaning

that you are somebody that showed appreciation for women and stood up for women uh you might

protect a woman against danger and oh you're very gallant you know you might help a lady

a man might help a lady up a step or out of a car uh you know giving assistance and aid

i mean probably these days certainly in the uk you wouldn't be thanked if you opened a

door if you if you would open a door for a lady okay go through you were at the door

but you let the lady go through first somebody said how very gallant of you but that sounds

sarcastic okay well well thank you you're very gallant what a gallant gentleman that's

very gallant of you appreciating women and standing up for women okay uh i think that

that usually i i almost have the feeling that sometimes mr steve walks around the street

wearing a big top hat and he he he takes his hat off when when women go by good morning

good morning madam good morning good morning showing showing uh appreciation and uh yes

um gallant is a model for a japanese car oh it says abdul aziz that's a good name i think

that's a brilliant name by the way the is it is it toyota the toyota gallant doesn't

say here we've probably got the same model here but it's called something different tomic

says what about the word unsung hero or the phrase unsung hero yeah that's we're talking

about hero well i suppose a hero quite often is seen as someone who does something brave

so yes of course i i think i think it would be fair to say that yeah i think so but an

unsung hero is somebody who isn't hasn't been recognized publicly for their bravery for

their bravery or all the good things that they've done if you're unsung

it means nobody's talked about it wildly um you sort of maybe you've kept it to yourself

that's something you did say say for example you you rescued somebody from a drowning in

a river um like christina did um if you kept it to yourself and it was just the you and

the child that knew about it she might tell her parents but if they then go and tell lots

of other people if they don't tell anyone else then nobody hears about it you're an

unsung hero but if they tell lots of people then you'll become a public hero the phrase

comes actually from the the olden times when heroes received immortality through song so

songs or poems would be written about the heroes heroic moments heroics

so you i'm talking steve i know so so i was very brave then to cut in very brave but now

it's it's completely removed what i was trying to explain you're going to say mr duncan well

what i was saying was an unsung hero is a person who has had no songs or written about

their bravery even though they did something brave they were never mentioned in any songs

hence un sung ah that very good mr duncan adele says that um looks like she's uh needing

to decide something that can change her life so you're in a phase of your life when you're

maybe at a crossroads you often say in life you've reached a point where you need to change

you need to do something else uh and that act of doing that can be difficult and of

course but if you do do it you could say well maybe you change your whole career path yes

and you know you it's very brave then if you do something very different than you've been

doing for many years yes well there is a good expression that we can use and it's coming

on the screen now you throw caution to the wind i love this expression so if you throw

caution to the wind it means you decide that you aren't going to do it you're not worried

about the consequences or what might happen you throw caution to the wind that would suggest

a reckless behaviour not necessarily no throw caution to the wind can just be i'm going

to do it i could i could be afraid but i'm going to throw caution to the wind i'm going

to go ahead and do it whatever whatever happens to me so it's not necessarily negative but

i do know what you mean steve so it could also show that you are about to do something

that might be dangerous or might cause harm i'm going to throw caution to the wind after

this live stream climb up on our ladder and unblock the guttering okay uh that's a good

example yes i'm going to throw caution to the wind and just ask out the first person

i meet on a date okay i wouldn't i wouldn't ask anyone around here on a date uh most of

them are sheep katiana says what about the word coward yes well a coward is the opposite

so a person who refuses to do anything courageous is is a coward a person who will not confront

their their fears might be described as a coward it's a very it's a very loaded word

it's a word that if you use it towards someone it can cause a lot of upset so describing

a person as a coward i don't know i wouldn't do it i wouldn't say it to anyone unless unless

we were in a situation where where maybe some harm could come to either myself or the other

person

so a coward is a person who avoids danger or avoids putting themselves at risk in any

way in order to yes i mean i mean that word was is used a lot in war um i mean people

have been executed for being cowards if they for example go to war their countries at war

and they're sent into the armed forces and they run away from the battle because whatever

reason uh you know well frightened of being shot and killed yes i would be honest if i

was in the middle of a battlefield with mortar shells flying over my head we know why and

bullets whizzing by we know i also might be running in the other direction but of course

in in in wartime situations governments have to be seen to be very uh harsh they can't

let people run away from the battle so in order to set an example uh when they find

somebody who's deserted or run away they will often execute them and we we used to do that

well you would be yes even in the second world war yes well well what they used to do is

they used to make you stand trial and if if you were found guilty of cowardice quite often

the the punishment would be very harsh yes execution not anymore though can i just point

out we don't do it anymore we don't we don't shoot people for being cowards anymore so

is there a polite way of saying that a person is a coward i like that yeah it says is there

a polite way well maybe a person who is reluctant to do something he's reluctant so that's a

nice way of saying that they don't really want to do it they don't want to put themselves

forward in in any situation so they are reluctant cowardice you're right coward is a strong

word it's very difficult to use that even in even in a humorous way it really it really

sort of strikes at your very core and makes you feel sort of worthless it's an insult

it is it is an ill insult to be called a coward is is really an insult chicken is another

one of course you can call someone a chicken

yes as a child that's a mild form of saying coward isn't it so children often say oh go

on run across the road in front of that lorry oh you don't want to are you chicken are you

a chicken because because of course chickens just run across well actually that's not that's

that's being unfair on chickens and and and uh pheasants that just run across the road

they're not being brave they don't know what they're doing do they well i don't i don't

say that you're chicken really if you chicken's actually very brave because it just runs across

and gets run over i don't i don't think this phrase was created by david attenborough so

i don't think it's it's it's a personal insult to chickens yes rosa here's a good one chicken

to chicken out yes that means you avoid doing something yes i'm going to i'm going to yes

i'm going to chicken out of that work meeting yes at 10 o'clock tonight i'm going to chicken

out from visiting all of my neighbours tomorrow because i don't want to because i hate them

yes the implication is you've planned to do something and then you cancel it because you

didn't want to do it you've chickened out it might be something that you find challenging

to do um and someone might say oh you've chickened out you might pretend to be sick yes uh oh

i've got to go to work i've got another one of course you might describe a person as yellow

yes yellow yeah they have a yellow streak down their back so we don't often use this

anymore because of course it's 2021 and using colors to describe people nowadays has become

a little bit of a hot topic you might say so you don't often hear anyone say oh what's

wrong are you yellow are you yellow you have a yellow belly yellow you so we don't normally

do that anymore by the way in china can i just say if a person is described as yellow

in china it means that they are involved in making adult movies really a yellow man did

you know that so there is a bit of information so in china a yellow man is a person who is

involved in making naughty movies all right you can tell me you can tell me mr duncan

it's okay my hand is stuck like that here's a good example uh shaun ferry says i am chickening

out of having botox injections

yes so at the time you thought oh yes i want to look wrinkle free and young and beautiful

and then at some point you thought um yes there are maybe nasty side effects from botox

injections um so you've through fear of what might happen you've decided not to have them

so you could say well somebody might say to you you've chickened out but actually you

might be making a very wise decision in this instance yes i wouldn't say deciding not to

have botox injections was chickening out because that is something that could potentially cause

you harm well i think also bravery can be subjective as well yes so so what is brave

to one person might be nothing to someone else so i think i think sometimes there is

a a bit of subjective meaning or observation taking place when we talk about people being

brave sergio said he was often attacked by a chicken in his youth was it like the chicken

off family guy the giant chicken in family guy the cartoon american cartoon series that

what's his name who's the father's name in uh in uh that program peter griffin peter

griffin often gets into a fight with a giant chicken it's very funny what about play chicken

says jamilla yeah if you play chicken it means you run across the road in front of traffic

or maybe a train so a person is daring you to do something that's dangerous by the way

don't do that don't run in front of trains or lorries or anything do not do that you

see because quite often the chicken will get squashed by by the train or the lorry that's

that's that's the reason why quite often on the road you will see large patches and that

that thing you are looking at used to be an animal but now it's just squashed into the

road it is a stain yes because chickens when they wander across the road like uh pheasants

they you know they they just run across and it's just pure chance or luck as to whether

they get to the other side or not yes you know they're not making any cognitive decisions

because they don't really know they don't know that it's dangerous

here's another good one steve you don't think about the consequences so so quite often being

brave or being putting yourself in a situation where you do something without thinking of

what might happen yeah you don't think about the consequences which is great so doing something

brave a brave person might also seem foolish as you said earlier so a brave thing maybe

you are a person who likes climbing up the sides of buildings how can they do that have

you seen them they they climb up the sides of buildings very high up without any support

that's brave they are throwing caution to the wind and they're not thinking of the consequences

yeah they are thinking that it doesn't matter but and quite a few of them have actually

fallen to their deaths but of course as they say in life unless you take risk very little

is achieved that's often a phrase that is used we have to we have to take risks sometimes

we take calculated risks but we we we take into account as much information as we possibly

can to try and avoid the danger or the downside of what we're about to do but sometimes you

have to make a leap of faith because you haven't got all the information and that's the bravery

and that's uh the opposite of uh not thinking about the consequences really yes and then

we have we have a few others i'll just put these so to be brave finally because we are

about to end this part and then we have the sentence game by the way the sentence game

is all about brave words have we had some of them do you think maybe maybe so this is

a good test coming up of how well you've been watching so you show bravery you show courage

you are fearless you are plucky you show no fear you have guts you show nerve you are

selfless i like that one actually the last one that one is my favourite to be selfless

so you are not thinking of your own safety that's a form of bravery like christine and

william uh christina who who saved a girl from drowning and william who was uh trying

to save those girls from a knife attack you don't you're being selfless then you are not

thinking about the consequences you are just throwing caution to that you're just doing

it on impulse probably impulse that means you just do something without thinking just

like that that's it in a flash in a flash so those are some ways you think it's the

right thing to do so those are some words you can use to show bravery courage to be

fearless to be plucky to show no fear you have guts you show nerve and you are selfless

so sean says yes sometimes brave people are described as foolish uh because but that's

all about the risk uh you take a risk it might happen it's like you know shall i shall i

um put my money into crypto currencies

uh it's a risk a big risk but you know five years down the road you could be a millionaire

or investing in anything investing in anything is is a risk so stocks shares investing in

a company buying shares in something it all comes with a risk it is like going to the

casino and spinning the wheel around and around yeah and hopefully the ball the little ball

will land on the colour and also the number that you put your your chips or your money

on willian says can we use the word banana to describe people who are afraid maybe you

can you can call a person who is a banana you don't normally call anyone a banana unless

maybe they are strange or crazy a person might be a little bit of a banana if they if they

do something foolish if you go bananas it means you do you you do you go a bit mad you

lose control of your emotions you go bananas over something but that's not really the same

as being afraid it's not the same thing yes nitram says to go bananas is extremely angry

or excited yes to go bananas is informal slang correct anyway steve yes we have come to that

time of the show oh sergio's got very scientific very deep according to the uncertainty principle

of heisenberg the heisenberg principle of uncertainty even molecules don't know what

will happen in the next moment so molecules are being very brave or atoms don't know why

i mentioned that so let us spend a moment sergio's not watching football he's he's he's

he's learning he's he's he's learning things for his mind is he is he is he yes he is yes

is he instead of wasting time watching football he's burying his head and studying

and and and using his mind he's watching us i'm not i think football might be more intellectual

than watching us yes you might find your iq dropping if you watch us for too long sergio

there should be a health warning at the start of this live stream so can we play the sentence

game steve because we only have 17 minutes but the time has gone very quickly it always

goes for 18 minutes according to your laptop computer here okay right i think your clock

here is fast no that that clock is being controlled by a huge transmitter in germany oh right

it's true the radio uh controlled uh clock yes there is the atomic clock it's an atomic

clock so your computer's wrong then yes maybe i i wouldn't be surprised i think i think

there's more of a chance of the computer being wrong than my atomic clock over there here

we go then it's time to play the game that everyone loves to play well almost everyone

some people don't like playing it but you can't please everyone

i always feel slightly relieved at this point do you know why because it means that we can

just play the sentence game and then and then go are you me

i did press the wrong button then okay don't panic everyone don't panic i pressed the wrong

button you see i pressed my finger my my supersonic finger pressed the wrong button right we need

bravery today and a quick mind because we want people to give us the answers to the

sentence game yes for those who haven't played it it's very simple i will show you some sentences

on the screen in front of you now the thing you are looking at with your eyes and all

you have to do is tell me what the missing words are and i and then i might give you

some clues if i'm feeling generous so all of the words today are brave words or i suppose

also the sentences might have something to do or be connected with being brave so here

is the first sentence game today oh here we go this is the kickoff we've kicked off we've

kicked off just like they've they're going to kick off in about an hour and a half's

time in the match somebody said earlier that uh oh doesn't matter carry on right he's something

into the something something without something his own something one two three four five

words so we have we have r the letter r with six letters we have b seven letters also b

again with eight letters then we have c eleven letters and then s with six letters be brave

if you haven't tried to do this before be brave and give us your suggestions that we

know we're not going to criticize you if you're wrong we're just going to you know it's just

there for everybody to see

i'm not feeling myself today mr duncan wasn't heisenberg wasn't he the guy from breaking

bad as well i think so yeah he was the guy that it was making the the blue meth which

doesn't exist can you believe that some people thought that that was real some people are

a little bit stupid to be honest

he's something into the something something without something his own something so we

are talking about being being brave i suppose so something you might do suddenly in in a

certain situation maybe where perhaps lives are at risk

we mentioned this earlier we actually said this earlier so think of the words that we've

put up today as uh examples of uh bravery maybe and the subject that we were talking

about today anarchy says oh my god i'm going to need much more courage than this all right

so william says that in brazil they say that when they say somebody's banana it means somebody's

chicken oh i see no we don't use that in there

no we don't we don't use that phrase here to mean that no uh so we'll have to remember

that when we go to brazil it's taking a long time to get some answers to the sentence game

well we've got what people i think a lot of people have got one of the words maybe bravery

yes so think about something think about something that that you might do perhaps you hear some

screaming in the night and then you can smell smell something and you think oh i think something's

happening and then you rush outside and you realize that someone is in danger so you decide

to do something you you act i can't say anything else without actually just giving you the

sentence i will give you the answer you see if i say anything else ah right yes

so i think i know what mr duncan wants to put here

so yes i don't think bravery is one of the words so no if i if it's what i think mr duncan

because mr duncan doesn't tell me what these answers are i'd say one of the interesting

things about this behind the scenes is i never tell steve anything about what i'm doing today

so i always like steve to to to find out about what's happening as you do so steve is kind

of represents the audience and i represent the person who well is presenting so the the

the second word is not bravery it's not bravery i mean bravery is a seven letter word but

that is not the correct word yes oh valentin valentin is very close

yes

very close you are very close valentin that's the best one we've had so far in fact that

might be the only one we've had so far there's just one word that is not quite right because

it's only 10 letters instead of 11. yes but i think you've definitely got

the right idea yes i think you've got 80 percent 85 percent of it right but there is something

that's not quite right so you do something but you without what without what so if you

think about something you are doing something but if you don't think about it if that thing

does not go across your mind then it is the opposite you are doing something without what

another another tense

you were valentine's had another go but uh it wasn't that it was another word that's

not quite right yes it's the it's the c word that has 11 letters that's the one that is

incorrect it's 11 letters

yes yeah i think uh kim may have got the the the other word okay so here we go the answer

is coming up but yes i think valentin was the nearest the nearest oh can i say hello

to high-end high-end coal or high-end chol kim can i just call you kim kim

that's that's a very good i've already pointed that out mr duncan i know i'm just saying

it again that is very good because i've noticed it a team effort but valentin yes was very

very close come on mr cockrell

and of course valentin last week i was i was i was adding up points i'm not going to do

it this week no but valentin is is is getting better and better at this yes because you

you got onto the scoreboard last week i can't believe tomek didn't even have an answer that's

incred i can't believe that come on there mr duncan here here is the answer to this

particular sentence game

ah he rushed into the burning building without considering his own safety concerning is only

ten letters so if you are considering something it means you are thinking about it so if you

do something without considering it means you don't think about it it is the opposite

so to consider is to think to not consider is not think so he rushed into the burning

building if you want to use concern or concerning you would have to change the wording yes of

that sentence the grammar would be incorrect grammar would be incorrect if you just put

concerning in instead of considering yes aside from the fact that it's only 10 letters or

not 11. you would have to say something like he rushed into the burning building without

consideration for his safety or without concern yes without concern without concern of or

for his own safety yes so that there is a big difference there just grammatically i

think we would but valentin also said because i think what i was suggesting that one of

the words was correct and valentin substituted the word building for bathroom

rushed into the burning bathroom which does fit uh but uh we wanted the word building

bathrooms don't normally set on fire it's very unusual it's very unusual unless of course

you fill your bath full of petrol in which case it will catch fire in fact it will probably

explode and blow to smithereens siberia we've got somebody watching us in siberia how wonderful

uh thank you well thank you for that's wonderful who is it siberia i can't pronounce the person's

name because that looks like cyrillic yes so we have some cyrillic words that we can't

read very well i'm sorry about that we're showing our ignorance we've ever had anyone

from siberia before i wonder if i can i might be able to translate that let me just see

if i can translate that just give me a moment and when we think of siberia in the uk we

tend to think of siberia as being very cold and not meaning to be disrespectful but we

tend to associate siberia with somewhere that a russian person is sent to if they've been

bad or naughty because that's if you get sent to siberia in our minds that means you're

being sent to somewhere that's not very nice but i'm sure it's lovely i'm sure siberia

is a lovely lovely place the name is andre ah i've translated it on my computer

andrei bes verkoff andrei or andre can i say welcome and a big hello to serbia yes yes

exactly sorry siberia i'm worse than joe biden did you see joe biden last week he got he

got libya and syria confused he kept saying libya when he was actually talking about syria

belarusia is still with us because her brother hasn't arrived yet but the sauerkraut is ready

sauerkraut that's a german i believe it's a german originated in german i think it's

cabbage that's been pickled yes pickled cabbage i'd imagine it's very nice with mayonnaise

oh yes but yeah what is the temperature in siberia says rosa and what time is it we would

like to know we've never had anybody from siberia um wonderful can we have another sentence

game still yes i've got it's up to you it's your show i'm starting to think it isn't here

we go here's another sentence game i don't i don't know where we went then

henrique is in mexico city airport like what are you doing in the airport steve we've got

to do this she's something complete something something her something this that i think

this is hard right so this is harder than the previous one what are you doing in mexico

city airport enrique are you flying somewhere or have you just arrived from somewhere we

want to know where am i i'm just being nosy nosy if you're being nosy it means you want

to find out something about somebody so the sentence game we've got three minutes by the

way to cancun can con you're going to cancun well yeah well i think it's amazing waiting

to catch a plane and watching us hmm people are doing all sorts of different things when

they're watching us some people are cooking they're not going to clean you're not the

pilot are you please please don't watch us while you're actually flying the plane i would

prefer that you watched us later

by the way you can watch this later so all of this will be repeated on youtube forever

and ever you can watch the recording and of course later there will be captions as well

later there will be captions siberia is 13 degrees it's gloomy and rainy a bit like it

is here anyway do we have any guesses for the sentence game steve well i'm just i'm

waiting as as fascinating it is talking about the weather iraq we've got somebody we've

got ray but cordy watching from iraq i bet it's hotter than 13 degrees in iraq i tell

you where it is hot at the moment yes

in the united what the uh are we having the conversation backwards the united states is

very hot at the moment steve i know that's why i said yes very enthusiastic way texas

47 degrees can you even imagine having a temperature of 47 degrees apparently they're having it's

like a bomb a bomb of heat and and apparently that area is just like it's like imagine being

under a large dome and somehow everything under that dome is getting much hotter than

everywhere else and that's what's happening in in the south of the united states in i

think it's nevada the nevada area oh well that is very hot and dry there yes but it's

even hotter and even drier in fact they told people the other day not to go outside because

it was a danger to life

can you imagine you're watching tv and then suddenly someone comes on the tv and says

hello please don't leave your house today it's so hot you might drop dead

i uh i think i would i would poop myself yeah definitely

well of course they've had extreme temperatures because didn't they have very cold temperatures

uh during the winter and a lot of people died it was so cold i think that was the same area

um yes they got snow where they don't normally get snow and a lot of people died because

they had power problems and all sorts of things i think the grand canyon literally filled

with snow i think so right so have we got any suggestions um

no we've got nothing yet nothing yet well we've got some suggestions i'm not sure if

they're right uh can we say that uh mr duncan have a look there are any of those words correct

yes that you're you're good there you're good there that is nassar nessa alam and anaki

inaki yes i think i think those are good there's a pretty good yes you're on your way you are

on your way hmm

how far is uh cam con from uh mexico city airport enrique annacone i can't think where

that is i think i think you are going to be a while that is

oh right welcome to the least exciting moment ever on youtube is that another word ah

what has nitron got it oh no no is it close the final word is actually very difficult

i will say the last word with 11 letters is actually a very hard word so so it might actually

be a new word but something you are reluctant to do something you you don't want to do something

you approach with with fear fear but is it correct up until yes that's pretty good well

nitron that's a very very good uh suggestion and the the last word fits it's not it the

last word isn't quite what mr duncan is looking for but

the sentence works yes i'll have to give the answer in a minute because we do have to go

unfortunately so the answer coming up now i i yes i thought this is difficult i i thought

earlier when i was preparing this i thought this is going to be a very difficult one two

hours to cancun apparently it's two hours to Cancun i just can't think where that is

geographic trying to picture it in my mind but anyway pedro's girl pedro's been on a

long time today bye petra bye see you next week

get a room right here we go so the answer is ding you see it wasn't courage it was control

you show control so you control is a kind of courage so to control yourself is to control

your emotions so you don't become afraid so she showed complete control despite her trepidation

oh i love that that is a that might be today's word of the day i think so trepidation you

are reluctant you feel a little fearful fearful cautious cautious you approach something cautiously

you have trepidation i like that one yes that's a good word but i think nitram has created

a sentence that works perfectly as well she showed courage despite her temperament well

yes your temperament again is just your your behaviour or the way you feel so yes i think

that's a good one so if your temperament is normally somebody who's a bit shy you might

not expect somebody like that to behave courageously so you that is correctly trump you have actually

created a sentence of your own where all the words fit perfectly so well done uh yeah because

some people might be have a temperament which is your personality type isn't it my temperament

is sort of fairly level-headed and sort of yeah temperament it's how you normally are

isn't it level-headed it's how you normally behave so if you're a shy if you're sort of

a very outgoing person that's always talking about always volunteering for things you might

expect something like that to be brave i'm still i'm still reeling from you describing

yourself well done describing yourself as level headed i'm i'm level headed

that's it that's it do you want to squeeze another one in um it's five pesos we could

do a sentence game as well okay very quickly then i'm feeling a bit i'm feeling a bit faint

are do you want to sit down i'll be all right mrs duncan do i lie down i'll brave it out

i i i i'll show courage and continue even though i'm tired i know you do because i've

been in the garden a lot of physical exercise in the garden you look very tired you look

very weary and weak i do have all my energy feels like it's sapping away going away it's

like it's like it's draining from you always happens towards the end of the live stream

i get tired and it's all the mental energy that i'm using i'm going to stick it out if

you stick something out that means that you carry on doing it despite the fact you don't

want to or you feel as though you don't want to you are going to see it through see it

through i'm going to stick this out until the end by the way be careful where you stick

it out because you might get arrested

we'll have one more and then we will definitely oh valentin valentin yes who really has the

balls to do this yeah there we go right mr duncan didn't want me to use it right is that

it what did they're all difficult today mr duncan they're all multi-word sentence games

well they normally are there's normally at least three missing words so one two three

four missing words somebody get this quickly please be brave just just just put a suggestion

out there so that i can go and sit down with a cup of tea and a tea cake and just put my

feet up as beatrice says i need a good afternoon tea and a rest i something i had the something

to something myself more something italianatoli says hello from brazil well we've got lots

of people watching from brazil yes so you can say hello to all your fellow brazilians

hello brazil hello also italy and hello also to india and vietnam and also to i suppose

i might say hello to indonesia we do have a lot of people watching there as well and

also the united states you might be surprised to find out how many people actually watch

in the united states

but normally people in the usa are very quiet which is very unusual yes we don't seem to

have people watching from the usa maybe they're there but they always come very high up at

the end of the month on my most viewed countries yes anyway i something i had the something

to something myself more something so maybe about the maybe you're changing your character

you are changing your character jimmy from hong kong jimmy from hong kong very good more

as close though look yes just above there yes miura and jimmy see i i think i think

jimmy and miura have only just joined us well i said i was going to look up how to pronounce

because being italian we need to get that pronunciation we've been saying more but we

were corrected last week okay so yes jimmy and my aura you are you are both correct

are we pronouncing that correctly my aura please tell us uh

i can hear a barking dog mr duncan right what's the answer the answer is and here it is now

coming up on your screens yes i wish i had the nerve to express myself more openly so

a person who is shy a person who is introverted maybe they wish they could be a little bit

more open maybe they wish they could speak more clearly or have more confidence in their

in their actions when they are amongst other people i wish i had the nerve to express myself

more openly well guess what if you want to do that you are in the best place because

we are here every sunday and also every wednesday from 2 p.m uk time and that is it for today
