197500
5733
03:23
It is coming and
2
203333
2400
03:25
as if we needed reminding that spring is on the way.
3
205733
4033
03:29
Look outside the window at the moment.

209833

212466
3234
03:35
cherry blossom coming through at the moment on the trees.
6
215766
3667
03:39
And I have to say I am rather excited
7
219433
3067
03:42
to see the cherry blossom coming out right now.
8
222500
4066
03:46
Isn't it nice?

2667
03:57
which just happens to be, you know where it is?
13
237900
4300
04:02
It is England
14
242300
1400
04:22
That is in response
15
262933
2567
04:25
for all the kisses I received last week.
16
265500
3000
04:28
This time last week, it was Valentine's Day and I did get lots of lovely messages
17
268733
4700
04:33
wishing me well for Valentine's Day last week.
18
273433
4000
04:37
So can I send all of you
19
277500
3066
04:40
to. I'm going to try
20
280633
3333
04:43
and blow as many kisses as I can in your direction today.
21
283966
5834
04:49
Hi, everybody.
22
289800
1200
04:51
This is Mr.
23
291000
3866
04:54
Duncan in England.
24
294866
1667
04:56
How are you today?
25
296533
1200
04:57
Are you okay? I hope so. Are you happy?
26
297733
2967
05:00
Are you feeling good? First question.
27
300700
3000
05:03
Are you feeling good?
28
303900
3633
05:07
Are you okay?
29
307533
1100
05:08
I really hope so.
30
308633
1267
05:09
And I hope also you are happy.
31
309900
3066
05:13
Are you happy?
32
313000
1000
05:14
I hope so.
33
314000
1833
05:15
Here we go again.
34
315833
1167
05:17
Life English addict not recorded.
35
317000
4800
05:21
I am the only person, the only English teacher
36
321966
4134
05:26
on the whole of YouTube who does life lessons regularly,
37
326166
6634
05:32
not only every week, but twice a week.
38
332900
4400
05:37
The only person this is. This is it.
39
337400
2700
05:40
This is the one you're looking at now.
40
340100
2366
05:42
So unique.
41
342466
1900
05:44
Some people say one of a kind.
42
344366
4067
05:48
Some people say, Mr.
43
348533
1967
05:50
Duncan, they broke the mould when they made you.
44
350500
4433
05:55
The problem was I was still inside.
45
355000
3000
05:58
So my name is Duncan. I talk about English.
46
358200
2700
06:00
I like English very much.
47
360900
2000
06:02
The English language is a wonderful thing.
48
362900
3666
06:06
It can be a very useful thing.
49
366633
2667
06:09
It can open many doors.
50
369300
2766
06:12
It can present many opportunities for you in your life.
51
372066
6667
06:18
It can really, honestly, I'm not joking.
52
378833
3933
06:22
So here we are again.
53
382833
1167
06:24
And yes, it is Wednesday.
54
384000
2800
06:26
We are coming towards the end of the month already.
55
386800
5133
06:32
I don't know why this month has gone by very quickly.
56
392033
3800
06:35
So already it is the 21st of February and
57
395833
5633
06:41
this month is short, shorter than normal
58
401533
3233
06:44
and it means that the month will come
59
404833
2833
06:47
and go very quickly and then, of course, March is on its way.
60
407666
5134
06:52
March is marching towards us.
61
412866
5134
06:58
It is coming our way.
62
418000
2066
07:00
I'm looking forward to the lovely weather.
63
420066
2034
07:02
I have to be honest with you.
64
422100
2033
07:04
You may have noticed at the start of today's live stream there were some lovely,
65
424133
5500
07:09
some lovely scenery to look at with the cherry blossom.
66
429700
4400
07:14
I have to say it did look rather nice and in the back garden
67
434100
5533
07:19
I've also noticed that there are some daffodils.
68
439733
4700
07:24
They haven't come out so you can't see the yellow petals yet.
69
444533
5067
07:29
However, they are preparing to open up
70
449700
2933
07:32
and show off their beautiful yellow colours
71
452633
3200
07:35
so the daffodils are waiting
72
455933
3000
07:39
for the warm weather to arrive.
73
459000
2833
07:41
Talking of the weather, it's a strange day today.
74
461833
3300
07:45
It is my old, but we've had a lot of rain again
75
465166
4500
07:49
and we are going to get lots of rain over the next 48 hours.
76
469766
3834
07:53
Apparently there is a huge
77
473600
2933
07:56
weather storm and it stretches.
78
476633
3900
08:00
I'm not joking.
79
480600
1133
08:01
It stretches all the way from Cuba,
80
481733
5133
08:06
all the way to my house.
81
486933
3833
08:10
I wish I was joking.
82
490833
1800
08:12
I was told last night by a nice man
83
492633
2800
08:15
on the television that this huge weather system
84
495433
3867
08:19
is stretching all the way from Cuba,
85
499400
3266
08:22
all the way to my house.
86
502766
2667
08:25
And that is why we are having so much strange weather at the moment.
87
505433
4900
08:30
I can't remember the last time we had such a wet winter.
88
510400
3900
08:34
It's been crazy.
89
514400
1633
08:36
We've got water coming up
90
516033
3367
08:39
from under the ground
91
519466
2334
08:41
in our garden so the water isn't just falling.
92
521800
3300
08:45
It is also coming up from beneath the ground
93
525166
4067
08:49
because there is so much water.
94
529233
3600
08:52
It is nice to see you. Hello, everyone.
95
532900
2800
08:55
The live chat is very busy already.
96
535700
2700
08:58
Congratulations once again. Very.
97
538400
8300
09:06
What more can I say really?
98
546766
2900
09:09
You are first on today's live chat
99
549666
2067
09:19
Can you believe it, there were flies in my studio yesterday.
100
559766
3000
09:22
I don't know what's going on already.
101
562833
1800
09:24
There are flies buzzing around in my studio.
102
564633
4067
09:28
Not today because I've managed to remove them.
103
568700
3466
09:32
I persuaded them to leave.
104
572233
2300
09:34
I said, Look, if you stay in my studio,
105
574533
3400
09:38
you are going to fly into one of my hot lights and then you will be frazzled.
106
578033
5900
09:44
Frazzled is a great word.
107
584033
3467
09:47
Have you heard of it?
108
587600
1333
09:48
The word frazzle means to fry
109
588933
3967
09:52
or to get very hot to the point where you dry up
110
592966
4100
09:57
or you burn, you frazzle.
111
597133
2967
10:00
So maybe a person who spends too much time in the garden might say that they
112
600100
4766
10:04
they were out in the garden sunbathing for such a long time
113
604933
4467
10:09
that they have frazzled, they have become red,
114
609466
5200
10:14
or they have burnt their skin frazzle.
115
614733
3667
10:18
It's a great word.
116
618600
1366
10:19
It can be a noun or a verb.
117
619966
3567
10:23
Hello.
118
623633
433
10:24
Also to Brandon, Brandon Sanchez, it's

1300
12:37
Now, as you know, last year we had our special rendezvous in Paris.
160
757033
5433
12:42
This year we are going to do it again, but
161
762566
6467
12:49
not in Paris.
162
769133
1933
12:51
It is going to be somewhere else.
163
771066
2334
12:53
I wonder if you can guess.
164
773400
1433
12:54
Can you guess where it might be?
165
774833
2533
12:57
So we have been talking about this over the past few days.
166
777366
3400
13:00
Mr. Steve and myself.
167
780866
1400
13:02
So we are planning to have our special rendezvous very soon.
168
782266
6300
13:08
Hopefully we will all get together and meet up.
169
788566
5100
13:13
Very nice.
170
793766
1900
13:15
Also, we have who else is here?
171
795666
2400
13:18
Tom. Hello, Tom.
172
798066
2067
13:20
Nice to see you here on the live chat as well.
173
800133
3567
13:23
It's good to see you here.
174
803766
1267
13:25
Thank you for joining me on this Wednesday.
175
805033
2233
13:27
It is Wednesday afternoon here.
176
807266
2334
13:29
I don't know what time it is where you are, but maybe it's morning,
177
809600
3533
13:33
maybe it's afternoon, maybe it is evening.
178
813133
5400
13:38
We also have who else?
179
818633
2467
13:41
Palmira. Hello, Palmira.
180
821100
2500
13:43
Very nice to see you here as well.
181
823600
2700
13:46
Lovely.
182
826300
566
13:46
So many people joining in on the live chat today.
183
826866
3167
13:50
We are looking at some more idioms.
184
830033
3967
13:54
English idioms are a very interesting way
185
834066
5000
13:59
of expressing things in the language.
186
839133
2833
14:01
So quite often when we use idioms, we are using
187
841966
3300
14:05
phrases, we are using certain words together
188
845266
4767
14:10
with other words to present a different meaning.
189
850133
5267
14:15
We often call this figurative.
190
855466
3000
14:18
So when we talk about something that is figurative,
191
858600
3700
14:22
it is a type of figure of speech.
192
862366
4067
14:26
We are making a word or phrase means something else.
193
866500
4200
14:30
It is a very good way of describing a certain type of thing.
194
870700
5066
14:35
So that will be coming up very, very soon.
195
875833
3433
14:39
Marek is here.
196
879500
1333
14:40
Hello, Marek, Nice to see you.
197
880833
1867
14:42
Also on the live chat.
198
882700
2333
14:45
Something I haven't seen people do for a long time.
199
885033
3033
14:48
Have you noticed sometimes you notice
200
888100
3600
14:51
things, you notice things that are happening.
201
891766
2900
14:54
But but also you hope you notice things that are not happening
202
894666
4567
14:59
or things that people don't do anymore.
203
899333
3000
15:02
So I remember as a kid when I was a child, way, way back
204
902366
6067
15:08
a long time ago,
205
908500
3000
15:11
I used to enjoy chewing gum.
206
911533
5267
15:16
Chewing gum, Chewing gum.
207
916866
2400
15:19
You can chew gum.
208
919266
2334
15:21
And of course, the noun for that particular thing is chewing gum.
209
921600
4900
15:26
You put it in your mouth and you chew.
210
926566
2967
15:29
And it's a very good way of relaxing.
211
929533
2167
15:31
It's something to do with your mouth.
212
931700
3233
15:35
It keeps you happy.
213
935033
2900
15:37
Quite often, chewing gum will taste of peppermint,
214
937933
4000
15:42
but the only problem with chewing gum is quite often it will lose its flavour.
215
942000
5366
15:47
So the longer you chew the gum,
216
947433
4367
15:51
the less time it will keep its flavour, unfortunately.
217
951900
4900
15:56
But you never see people chewing gum anymore.
218
956866
5300
16:02
So I think maybe the fashion
219
962233
2600
16:04
of chewing gum has actually vanished.
220
964833
3000
16:08
Now, I know in some countries it is illegal to have chewing gum.
221
968066
5034
16:13
I believe Singapore.
222
973200
1733
16:14
In Singapore it is absolutely legal.
223
974933
3900
16:18
You can not have chewing gum.
224
978900
4066
16:23
And the reason is we all know why chewing gum is such a
225
983066
3434
16:26
horrible thing is because a lot of people will remove it.
226
986500
3466
16:29
They will take it out of their mouth and throw it away, or
227
989966
3034
16:33
maybe they will stick it somewhere.
228
993000
3733
16:36
Maybe they will drop it on the floor.
229
996833
2800
16:39
And then as you're walking along, you will get chewing gum on the bottom of your shoe.
230
999633
5967
16:45
There is nothing worse than chewing gum,
231
1005600
4600
16:50
especially if you get it in your hair.
232
1010266
4034
16:54
Have you ever had chewing gum in your hair?
233
1014366
2167
16:56
I know at school people used to do this.
234
1016533
1933
16:58
You see, They used to do it as a joke.
235
1018466
2200
17:00
They used to get some chewing gum and they would put it into someone else's hair.
236
1020666
4567
17:05
And of course, the more you try to remove
237
1025333
3733
17:09
the chewing gum from your hair,
238
1029133
2733
17:11
the harder it becomes to actually get it out.
239
1031866
3300
17:15
It becomes more tangled in the hair.
240
1035266
4967
17:20
So I think chewing gum is something that not many people do
241
1040333
4433
17:24
or they don't enjoy it anymore.
242
1044766
3000
17:27
But I do remember as a kid quite often at school
243
1047833
4367
17:32
we would always put our chewing gum in strange places
244
1052266
4934
17:37
for people to find later.
245
1057266
2534
17:39
And of course, a lot of people feel that
246
1059800
2733
17:42
chewing gum is a little unhygienic,
247
1062533
3867
17:46
especially when you take it out and put it somewhere else.
248
1066500
3900
17:50
And that is the reason why maybe in some countries
249
1070466
3300
17:53
chewing gum is banned,
250
1073833
4467
17:58
you can't even take it into the country.
251
1078366
3234
18:01
Jemmy Hello.
252
1081666
1200
18:02
Jemmy watching in Hong Kong.
253
1082866
2167
18:05
It's nice to see you here as well.
254
1085033
2200
18:07
Jemmy makes a very interesting point.
255
1087233
2400
18:09
Chewing gum is what many football managers enjoy.
256
1089633
4433
18:14
It is their favourite thing.
257
1094200
1766
18:15
Quite often they will chew
258
1095966
5134
18:21
gum during a football match.
259
1101200
2666
18:23
So I think sometimes people will put some chewing gum in their mouth
260
1103866
3900
18:28
and then they will chew the gum too to relax themselves.
261
1108000
5600
18:33
And I think that is probably one of the main reasons
262
1113600
3300
18:36
why people use chewing gum.
263
1116900
3433
18:40
I think also for people who are trying to give up smoking.
264
1120433
4233
18:44
So quite often people who are trying to quit smoking
265
1124733
5000
18:49
very often will chew gum instead.
266
1129800
6133
18:56
Yes, putting
267
1136033
1400
18:57
chewing gum on somebody's head is not very nice.
268
1137433
3933
19:01
I agree with you. Please don't do it.
269
1141366
2567
19:03
I am not encouraging you to do it.
270
1143933
2200
19:06
Please don't say that I was
271
1146133
3467
19:09
so chewing gum might be seen as something
272
1149666
2700
19:12
that is unpleasant or unhygienic maybe.
273
1152366
5700
19:18
Thank you very much for joining me.
274
1158133
1567

6200

19:32
Not very nice.

A little bit later.
291

1267
20:20
Not today, but maybe later in
292
1220400
3700
20:24
time as it passes.
293
1224200
3466
20:27
Who else is here?
294
1227733
1100
20:28
A couple of more hellos.
295
1228833
2000
20:30
We'll have a break.
296
1230833
933
20:31
And then we have today's subject.
297
1231766
2800
20:34
We are looking at more idioms,
298
1234566
3800
20:38
very useful ways of expressing yourself in English.
299
1238433
5633
20:44
And of course, I will make it very clear as well.
300
1244133
2567
20:46
On the screen, I will show you very clearly
301
1246700
4866
20:51
each idiom and what each one of them means as well.
302
1251633
5633
20:57
All of that coming up a little bit later on.
303
1257300
3066
21:00
First of all, a quick break and then I'll be back and we will look at
304
1260533
6267
21:06
some lovely English idioms.
305
1266900
2000
21:08
Don't go away.
306
1268900
1633
23:23
We are live with English addicts on a Wednesday.
307
1403466
5267
23:28
It is Wednesday afternoon here in the UK.
308
1408900
2666
23:31
I hope you are having a superduper day where you are.
309
1411566
2934
23:38
It is lovely to be with you today.

2567
23:40
I hope your week has been okay.
311
1420800
3300
23:44
I hope things have not been too bad at all.
312
1424133
4767
23:48
We are looking at idioms today, some lovely English idioms.
313
1428966
5500
23:54
Now, last weekend I did show some idioms
314
1434500
3800
23:58
on the live stream and a lot of people said, Mr.
315
1438300
3200
24:01
Duncan, we love the idioms we do.
316
1441500
2433
24:03
Can we have some more?
317
1443933
1667
24:05
Okay, then.
318
1445600
866
24:06
Well, because I'm so lovely and generous.
319
1446466
3134
24:09
Here we go.
320
1449600
1233
24:10
Some more English idioms
321
1450833
3367
24:14
and we get straight into all of today's idioms with the first one.
322
1454266
5800
24:20
Here is a great idiom for those who want to take it easy.
323
1460133
6067
24:26
Maybe during the day you've had a very stressful time.
324
1466300
4466
24:30
Maybe you want to enjoy yourself.
325
1470866
3600
24:34
Maybe you want to do something to relax yourself.
326
1474500
3533
24:38
Perhaps you want to have a little snack whilst resting.
327
1478100
4900
24:43
To take it easy.
328
1483100
2266
24:45
We can say that you put your feet up
329
1485366
4434
24:49
to put your feet up.
330
1489866
2700
24:52
It is a great idiom in English
331
1492566
4000
24:56
to relax and take it easy for a while.
332
1496666
3667
25:00
The action of resting
333
1500400
5400
25:05
to relax and take it easy for a while.
334
1505866
3934
25:09
The action of resting, for example, in a sentence
335
1509900
4133
25:14
this afternoon I am going to put my feet up
336
1514266
3467
25:17
in front of the TV.
337
1517800
3000
25:20
So this means that you are going to relax this afternoon.
338
1520900
3733
25:24
You are going to take it very, very easy.
339
1524700
4166
25:28
You are going to sit in front of the television
340
1528933
4100
25:33
and you are going to put your feet up.
341
1533100
4500
25:37
Some people like to have a short break
342
1537666
3334
25:41
from something, maybe at home.
343
1541133
2867
25:44
So I think it's fair to say most people will put their feet up
344
1544000
5100
25:49
when they are at home after you come back from work,
345
1549200
4066
25:53
maybe you work at home and you are having a break.
346
1553366
3200
25:56
Perhaps you will put your feet up for a short time.
347
1556733
4833
26:01
So when we use the idiom, put your feet up.
348
1561633
4533
26:06
It means to have a rest.
349
1566266
3334
26:09
To take it easy.
350
1569666
1934
26:11
To have a relaxing time.
351
1571600
3000
26:14
You put your feet up.
352
1574700
3766
26:18
Here is another one.
353
1578566
2767
26:21
now, here's an interesting one.
354
1581333
2100
26:23
It might look like an aggressive
355
1583433
3733
26:27
or maybe something that might be violent.
356
1587266
3734
26:31
Perhaps, but it isn't.
357
1591000
1766
26:32
To stick to your guns.
358
1592766
2767
26:35
A person who will stick to their guns
359
1595533
3367
26:39
quite often in a situation where you have to carry on doing something, even though other people
360
1599000
6200
26:45
are telling you to do something else, maybe situations
361
1605200
3400
26:48
and circumstances will come along to try and change
362
1608600
5200
26:53
the way you do things, but you will not change.
363
1613900
3866
26:57
You decide to stick
364
1617766
3234
27:01
to your guns.
365
1621066
1934
27:03
You decide not to change your ways,
366
1623000
4266
27:07
to stay true to your intentions
367
1627333
2700
27:10
and not give up or change your plans.
368
1630033
3000
27:13
You will not do any of those things.
369
1633166
2734
27:15
You will carry on doing that things the way you've decided.
370
1635900
3866
27:19
You stick to your guns.
371
1639833
4133
27:24
You don't stop.
372
1644033
1367
27:25
You are there.
373
1645400
733
27:26
You are willing to defend the thing that you are doing.
374
1646133
6067
27:32
I will stick to my guns and go ahead with the deal.
375
1652300
4100
27:36
So even though people are trying to tell me not to do it, I will still go ahead.
376
1656500
4333
27:40
I will stick to my guns.
377
1660833
2467
27:43
I will not change my mind.
378
1663300
4433
27:47
It is a very interesting phrase that we often use in English
379
1667800
5066
27:53
to stick to your guns.
380
1673100
3566
27:56
Another interesting English idiom.
381
1676700
3333
28:00
And that's what we're doing today.
382
1680033
1533
28:01
We are looking at some English idioms.
383
1681566
3634
28:05
So if a person tries to persuade you
384
1685266
3700
28:09
to do something differently,
385
1689033
2400
28:11
maybe something you want to do your own way,
386
1691433
3000
28:14
or maybe, maybe an argument you are having with someone,
387
1694533
4033
28:18
perhaps you are arguing with a friend,
388
1698633
3000
28:21
but you decide not to change your view or your opinion.
389
1701833
4533
28:26
You stick to your guns.
390
1706433
3967
28:30
It is an interesting expression that we often use in English.
391
1710500
6533
28:37
I mentioned the rain earlier and here is one
392
1717133
3067
28:40
just for that particular type of weather.
393
1720333
5200
28:45
Take a rain check.
394
1725600
2533
28:48
So if you take a rain check,
395
1728133
2600
28:50
it means you are taking an offer
396
1730733
4767
28:55
of a future event
397
1735566
2767
28:58
quite often because the arrangement you were made
398
1738333
3867
29:02
originally has been cancelled.
399
1742200
3700
29:06
So I think this originates in the US, say from football games.
400
1746000
5166
29:11
So whenever a football game was arranged, perhaps the rain would fall
401
1751233
5700
29:17
and of course the football match could not take place or the football game.
402
1757033
6167
29:23
So that is not soccer.
403
1763300
3266
29:26
It is actual football, American football.
404
1766666
3267
29:30
And quite often they would say, you can take a rain check,
405
1770000
3766
29:33
which means you can come back and watch the game when the weather is better
406
1773866
5900
29:39
so you won't have to pay to see the match again, because you've already done that.
407
1779866
5367
29:45
You've already paid for it.
408
1785233
2167
29:47
So they have a rain check, which means you can
409
1787400
3933
29:51
do something at a later date.
410
1791333
5733
29:57
Here we go
411
1797133
1333
29:58
to agree to do something at another time and place in the future.
412
1798466
4867
30:03
So a thing you wish you were going to do,
413
1803400
3033
30:06
an appointment you were going to keep had to be cancelled.
414
1806433
4400
30:10
You could not do it.
415
1810933
1567
30:12
So you agree to do it later.
416
1812500
3333
30:16
At another date, you take a rain check.
417
1816033
4867
30:21
We will have to take a rain check on that dinner date.
418
1821000
3700
30:24
So perhaps we had arranged to meet up for lunch or maybe an evening meal
419
1824800
6033
30:30
and we had to cancel
420
1830900
3533
30:34
for some reason.
421
1834500
2600
30:37
There might be a good reason.
422
1837100
1566
30:38
That might not be a good reason.
423
1838666
1834
30:40
So if you do have to cancel something quite often, you will give a rain check.
424
1840500
5900
30:46
We use it figuratively to say that we will do this.
425
1846500
5266
30:51
Not today because we had to cancel it.
426
1851866
2767
30:54
We will do it later.
427
1854633
1500
30:56
At another time, on another day, we will
428
1856133
7067
31:03
take a rain check on that.
429
1863300
2900
31:06
It is a very interesting idiom and it is quite often used
430
1866200
4566
31:10
in English.
431
1870900
4166
31:15
Thank you for your lovely messages today.
432
1875133
1867
31:17
Thank you. It's very nice. Yes.
433
1877000
3433
31:20
Here's another one.
434
1880500
2400
31:22
I love this picture, by the way.
435
1882900
1966
31:24
This animal does not look very happy.
436
1884866
3000
31:27
And I think there is a very good reason for it.
437
1887900
2966
31:30
Not looking very happy.
438
1890866
1834
31:32
Take the bull by the horns.
439
1892700
3433
31:36
If you take the bull by the horns,
440
1896233
4267
31:40
it means you are facing something
441
1900566
2734
31:43
or you are about to do something that you have been putting off,
442
1903300
4866
31:48
or maybe something you have been delaying,
443
1908166
3667
31:51
or maybe a thing that you have to do.
444
1911900
2866
31:54
And to be honest, you don't want to do it.
445
1914766
3000
31:57
You have been putting it off.
446
1917866
2534
32:00
Sometimes you have to take the bull by the horns
447
1920400
4733
32:05
to face a difficult task directly,
448
1925200
3000
32:08
do something difficult that may present a challenge.
449
1928400
4000
32:12
So maybe something you want to do, but
450
1932500
3766
32:16
you have been delaying, you have been waiting.
451
1936333
5100
32:21
You you don't want to actually do it.
452
1941533
2533
32:24
So now you have decided that you are going to take
453
1944066
3900
32:28
the bull by the horns.
454
1948033
3567
32:31
You are going to face that particular difficulty.
455
1951700
4000
32:35
I will take the bull by the horns and ask her to the party.
456
1955766
4934
32:40
so maybe there is a
457
1960800
766
32:41
person that you want to ask on a date.
458
1961566
4134
32:45
Maybe you want to take them out.
459
1965766
2034
32:47
Maybe you want.
460
1967800
800
32:48
You want to get to know them better.
461
1968600
1866
32:50
But of course, you might also be nervous.
462
1970466
2634
32:53
You might be afraid of being rejected.
463
1973100
4266
32:57
So instead, you delay.
464
1977433
3067
33:00
You don't do it.
465
1980533
1467
33:02
But then one day you decide.
466
1982000
2233
33:04
I'm going to take the bull by the horns.
467
1984233
2967
33:07
I'm going to ask her to the party.
468
1987200
4466
33:11
I'm going to take the bull by the horns.
469
1991733
4600
33:16
Something you have been putting off, something
470
1996400
2866
33:19
you have not wanted to do,
471
1999266
3600
33:22
but you suddenly decide that you are going to do it.
472
2002933
4067
33:27
You take the bull by the horns.
473
2007033
4300
33:31
Here's another one to be a stick in the mud.
474
2011433
5533
33:37
To be a stick in the mud.
475
2017033
3700
33:40
It is a very interesting phrase.
476
2020800
3000
33:43
It is one that we use quite often when we are describing a person
477
2023866
3434
33:47
who is not very interesting, or maybe they are a person who doesn't want to get involved
478
2027300
5500
33:52
with fun events, things that are fun and exciting.
479
2032866
6034
33:58
So we might describe a person as a stick in the mud,
480
2038966
6267
34:05
a dull and boring person who seems
481
2045333
2467
34:07
to never want to do anything exciting.
482
2047800
3000
34:10
Can be described as a stick in the mud.
483
2050800
4566
34:15
They are a person who might be seen as dull and boring
484
2055433
5000
34:20
or maybe they are not very adventurous.
485
2060500
4033
34:24
They are a stick in the mud.
486
2064600
4666
34:29
It is a very interesting phrase indeed.
487
2069366
4067
34:33
So a person, maybe you want to invite them out to a party
488
2073533
5467
34:39
or maybe to a place where you can have lots of fun, but they don't want to do it.
489
2079000
4533
34:43
They say, No, I don't want to do it.
490
2083600
2233
34:45
Why do you have to spoil the party
491
2085833
2867
34:48
by being such a stick in the mud? Why?
492
2088700
4800
34:53
So maybe something you want them to be involved with.
493
2093600
3700
34:57
Maybe a visit to an exciting place.
494
2097533
3200
35:00
Or maybe a party.
495
2100833
1867
35:02
But that person does not want to get involved.
496
2102700
3000
35:05
You might describe them as a stick in the mud.
497
2105966
6100
35:12
They are a person who does not want to get involved with anything exciting.
498
2112133
7067
35:19
Here's another one.
499
2119266
2334
35:21
Maybe you cut corners.
500
2121600
3800
35:25
Maybe you cut corners.
501
2125500
3833
35:29
A person who might cut corners
502
2129400
4200
35:33
is a person who might decide to do something
503
2133666
6800
35:40
quickly or easily without following all of the rules.
504
2140533
5967
35:46
So quite often we use this phrase when we are talking about
505
2146566
5534
35:52
a thing that has to be done in a certain way.
506
2152166
2767
35:54
Maybe you have to follow out lots of rules
507
2154933
4467
35:59
or procedures.
508
2159466
2567
36:02
Procedure is a thing that is done or carried out.
509
2162033
5267
36:07
So a person who likes to cut corners
510
2167366
4867
36:12
quite often
511
2172300
2033
36:14
likes to take the easy way through a difficult
512
2174333
3667
36:18
task to cut out important parts of a process.
513
2178000
4233
36:22
You are not doing them because it takes too much time.
514
2182300
4366
36:26
So quite often there might be situations where you will cut corners.
515
2186733
4433
36:31
You will do things quicker
516
2191166
3900
36:35
by removing certain parts of it.
517
2195133
7467
36:42
So nice to see you here.
518
2202666
1267
36:43
Thank you very much. Yes.
519
2203933
1700
36:45
If we cut corners on this project, there might be a serious accident.
520
2205633
5033
36:50
And as we know from history, a lot of serious accidents,
521
2210733
5067
36:55
a lot of things have happened in the past
522
2215800
3000
36:58
because people have cut corners.
523
2218800
4000
37:02
They've decided to do things in a different way by taking away
524
2222900
5266
37:08
some of the procedures things or some of the things you have to do.
525
2228166
5567
37:13
Perhaps if you are constructing a building,
526
2233800
3533
37:17
maybe you you leave out
527
2237400
2900
37:20
certain parts of the construction.
528
2240300
3000
37:23
However, those things are very important
529
2243333
2933
37:26
because they will make the building strong and safe.
530
2246266
4967
37:31
So sometimes people will cut corners
531
2251300
3733
37:35
to make a task easier
532
2255100
3233
37:38
or to make it easier to do or simpler to carry out.
533
2258400
5600
37:44
You are cutting corners.
534
2264100
2766
37:46
You cut corners.
535
2266866
3634
37:50
Here's another one.
536
2270566
2600
37:53
Maybe there is a person in authority.
537
2273166
2934
37:56
Maybe you are working in a shop and your manager
538
2276100
3000
37:59
decides to go out for a break.
539
2279100
3266
38:02
Maybe they want to go outside to have a cigarette
540
2282433
3667
38:06
because that's what you have to do in this country.
541
2286166
2667
38:08
If you want to have a cigarette in this country, you have to go outside.
542
2288833
3867
38:12
If you work in an office or a shop, you cannot smoke inside or in a public place.
543
2292800
6500
38:19
You have to go out.
544
2299300
2300
38:21
So maybe they are going outside for a few moments and then they say, Mr.
545
2301600
4733
38:26
Duncan, can you hold the fort?
546
2306333
4733
38:31
To hold the fort means that you are taking responsibility
547
2311166
4667
38:35
for something for a short time.
548
2315933
3233
38:39
Normally a business
549
2319266
3434
38:42
to take charge of something for a temporary period of time
550
2322766
4434
38:47
to stand in for a person with authority for a short time.
551
2327266
5167
38:52
So you will hold the fort.
552
2332500
3300
38:55
It is a great idiom that we use
553
2335866
2467
38:58
quite often in business or maybe in a place of work.
554
2338333
4200
39:02
Maybe you are running a shop
555
2342633
2167
39:04
and you have to go out for a short time
556
2344800
2966
39:07
so another person will step in.
557
2347766
3234
39:11
They will take responsibility.
558
2351100
2700
39:13
They will hold the fort.
559
2353800
3966
39:17
The manager will go for lunch
560
2357833
2000
39:19
and I will hold the fort until he returns.
561
2359833
5067
39:24
So he will be gone for a short time.
562
2364966
2800
39:27
But when he comes back, he will take over again.
563
2367766
3800
39:31
I will hold the fort until they return.
564
2371633
7033
39:38
Here's another one.
565
2378733
1133
39:39
Quite often in life, we we do things.
566
2379866
4767
39:44
Sometimes those things are to difficult to carry out.
567
2384700
4200
39:48
Maybe they are too hard to do.
568
2388933
3233
39:52
Quite often we find ourselves
569
2392233
2667
39:54
in a situation where we can't on.
570
2394900
3233
39:58
Maybe you decide to throw in the towel.
571
2398200
7133
40:05
If you throw in the towel, it means you give up.
572
2405400
3766
40:09
You quit. You stop.
573
2409266
2367
40:11
You decide that you don't want to do that thing anymore because it is too difficult.
574
2411633
6167
40:17
You decide to throw in the towel
575
2417866
4534
40:22
to quit after having had enough of something.
576
2422500
3266
40:25
You quit or stop doing something.
577
2425833
3000
40:29
This job is too difficult for me.
578
2429066
3000
40:32
I have decided to throw in the towel.
579
2432100
5700
40:37
If you decide to quit
580
2437866
2034
40:39
or stop something, something you don't want to do anymore,
581
2439900
4500
40:44
you throw in the towel.
582
2444466
4067
40:48
You stop doing it.
583
2448600
4100
40:52
This expression comes from the sport of boxing,
584
2452800
4600
40:57
where if one person decides
585
2457466
2434
40:59
that they don't want to continue fighting the
586
2459900
3266
41:03
I think it is always the person on the other side of the ring.
587
2463166
3667
41:06
They will throw the towel into the ring
588
2466866
3400
41:10
to show that that particular person wants to give up.
589
2470266
3467
41:13
They throw in the towel.
590
2473800
3000
41:16
So that is where that particular expression comes from.
591
2476800
3233
41:20
It comes from the sport of boxing.
592
2480100
4333
41:24
Yes, Vitus, you are right.
593
2484500
2933
41:27
It comes from boxing.
594
2487433
2467
41:29
If you throw in the towel, it means you are
595
2489900
4200
41:34
you are accepting defeat.
596
2494200
3700
41:38
So it is an interesting phrase and it is one
597
2498000
2466
41:40
we use quite often when we cannot go on any longer.
598
2500466
5034
41:45
We have decided to throw in the towel.
599
2505600
6466
41:52
Here's another one we are
600
2512166
1067
41:53
looking at English idioms for today.
601
2513233
4667
41:57
is an interesting one.
602
2517966
1400
41:59
Something that is bone dry.
603
2519366
4767
42:04
A bone dry thing.
604
2524200
2766
42:06
We are describing something that is normally wet
605
2526966
4900
42:11
or normally contains a lot of moisture, but now it doesn't.
606
2531966
5167
42:17
It is bone dry.
607
2537200
3000
42:20
You might describe an area
608
2540366
3000
42:23
where very little rain has fallen.
609
2543366
2900
42:26
Maybe a desert, maybe a place where the sun
610
2546266
3867
42:30
has been out for many days.
611
2550233
2933
42:33
Every day has been hot and now the ground is dry.
612
2553166
5334
42:38
We can say that it is bone dry.
613
2558600
3266
42:41
It is a great expression that we use
614
2561966
3000
42:44
to describe something that has dried out,
615
2564966
4034
42:49
a thing that is completely dried out,
616
2569100
3000
42:52
a tinder dry object.
617
2572266
2934
42:55
So if we describe something as tinder
618
2575200
3566
42:58
dry, it means it is very dry.
619
2578766
3300
43:02
In fact, it might catch fire.
620
2582100
4166
43:06
Something that is so dry
621
2586333
3433
43:09
it could easily catch fire.
622
2589866
6000
43:15
I'm not sure if
623
2595933
867
43:16
I've lost my live connection at some point, but it would appear that
624
2596800
5133
43:22
there may actually be a problem with the live chat today.
625
2602000
4366
43:26
If there is, please let me know if you are having difficulty.
626
2606366
4034
43:30
I can.
627
2610466
500
43:30
I can always do this all over again if you want.
628
2610966
3834
43:34
Do you want me to start from the beginning?
629
2614866
2834
43:37
Hello, everyone.
630
2617700
1600
43:39
It's Mr. Duncan here.
631
2619300
2600
43:41
A thing that has become completely dry.
632
2621900
2600
43:44
The dog is thirsty
633
2624500
2900
43:47
because its water bowl is bone dry.
634
2627400
4066
43:51
There is no water in the bowl for the dog.
635
2631700
4966
43:56
And the dog is thirsty.
636
2636733
2100
43:58
And you can always tell when a dog is hot and thirsty
637
2638833
4600
44:03
because its tongue will hang out
638
2643533
6433
44:10
like that.
639
2650033
4067
44:14
Something bone dry is completely dry.
640
2654166
2900
44:17
All the moisture has gone.
641
2657066
2834
44:19
It has been
642
2659900
1966
44:21
so locked
643
2661933
1400
44:23
away by the heat it has evaporated.
644
2663333
4600
44:28
Something can be described as bone dry.
645
2668000
6333
44:34
Here's another one.
646
2674433
1633
44:36
Maybe in business
647
2676066
3000
44:39
something might be rotten to the core.
648
2679133
6200
44:45
So maybe if you take a piece of fruit such as an apple
649
2685400
3700
44:49
and you bite into it inside,
650
2689200
4200
44:53
the apple might be completely rotten,
651
2693400
5033
44:58
which means you can't eat it.
652
2698500
1966
45:00
Some things it is rotten to the core
653
2700466
3534
45:04
is completely rotten all the way through.
654
2704100
4233
45:08
Right to the centre.
655
2708400
3566
45:12
So in English, as an idiom,
656
2712033
2500
45:14
we can describe something that is bad.
657
2714533
5367
45:19
Maybe the people doing it or running it are not very good people.
658
2719966
4534
45:24
Or maybe they are criminals.
659
2724533
3500
45:28
Maybe they are people who like to take bribes.
660
2728133
6167
45:34
Quite often in in companies you will find that sometimes
661
2734400
4666
45:39
the business or the
662
2739133
3000
45:42
the company is rotten to the core,
663
2742200
4166
45:46
a person group or an organisation that is corrupt
664
2746466
5500
45:52
or is run by corrupt people,
665
2752033
5100
45:57
corrupt managers.
666
2757233
2767
46:00
Maybe the people at the top
667
2760000
3633
46:03
are bad people.
668
2763700
3000
46:06
They are people who do things in the wrong way.
669
2766700
4033
46:10
They have bad practices.
670
2770766
2700
46:13
They do things in the wrong way.
671
2773466
1967
46:15
This company has been mismanaged for a long time.
672
2775433
3533
46:19
It is a rotten to the core.
673
2779033
4000
46:23
It means everyone involved all the way to the top.
674
2783100
5433
46:28
They are all bad people.
675
2788600
3433
46:32
This company has been mismanaged.
676
2792100
3400
46:35
It is rotten to the core.
677
2795566
3800
46:39
It is a great English phrase that we use
678
2799433
4067
46:43
to describe something that has a lot of organisation.
679
2803566
3834
46:47
But the people behind the organising ization are doing things
680
2807400
5700
46:53
illegal or illegally.
681
2813166
4067
46:57
They are doing things in an unlawful way.
682
2817300
6166
47:03
Here's another one.
683
2823566
3600
47:07
This is something that happened to me, by the way.
684
2827233
3000
47:10
I know I've told you this before, but I have had
685
2830300
3466
47:13
this happen to me in the past when I was much younger.
686
2833766
3567
47:17
To get the sack, you get the sack.
687
2837400
4766
47:22
It is an idiom we use once again
688
2842233
2533
47:24
in business or in employment.
689
2844766
3234
47:28
So if you are employed by someone, maybe you have a job and you don't do it very well.
690
2848066
5100
47:33
Or maybe you you do something that you should not whilst working for them,
691
2853166
5500
47:38
they will give you the sack, they will terminate your employment.
692
2858733
6333
47:45
They cut your employment.
693
2865133
3300
47:48
You will not have a job with that company anymore.
694
2868533
5567
47:54
They give you the sack
695
2874200
3200
47:57
to be dismissed from your job, to lose your job negatively.
696
2877500
7366
48:04
Is there a positive way of losing your job?
697
2884933
3000
48:08
I don't think there is.
698
2888033
1700
48:09
But what I mean by that is quite often you lose your job
699
2889733
3467
48:13
not because you have decided to.
700
2893200
3000
48:16
So a lot of people do.
701
2896333
1133
48:17
They will decide one day that they want to change their job.
702
2897466
3067
48:20
They want to do something else.
703
2900533
1967
48:22
And they will go and work somewhere else.
704
2902500
4000
48:26
But to be dismissed from your job
705
2906566
3100
48:29
means that you did not want to lose your job.
706
2909700
3633
48:33
You didn't want to lose your job at all
707
2913400
4200
48:37
because you did something wrong.
708
2917666
1400
48:39
You did something bad.
709
2919066
1700
48:40
I got the sack for my previous job for hitting the boss.
710
2920766
6034
48:46
Yes, I think that's a very good way of losing your job.
711
2926866
4200
48:51
I think if you if you really want to lose your job,
712
2931133
3233
48:54
I think doing something to your boss
713
2934366
3700
48:58
or maybe another member of your work team
714
2938166
4100
49:02
will get you the sack.
715
2942366
4100
49:06
Or maybe you are doing something that you should not.
716
2946566
4167
49:10
I got the sack for my previous job for hitting the boss
717
2950800
4033
49:14
to be dismissed from your job.
718
2954933
4367
49:19
To lose your job in a negative
719
2959366
2134
49:21
way is to get the sack.
720
2961500
3666
49:25
And I did.
721
2965233
867
49:26
Many years ago, I was actually sacked from a job
722
2966100
6233
49:32
because I wasn't doing it very well.
723
2972400
2100
49:34
And to be honest with you,
724
2974500
2966
49:37
my heart was not in it.
725
2977466
2367
49:39
So maybe if your heart is not in something,
726
2979833
2800
49:42
it means you don't really feel interested or you don't want to do that thing.
727
2982633
5667
49:48
Your heart is not in it.
728
2988366
3534
49:51
You don't feel as if you want to do it.
729
2991966
2234
49:54
So there is another idiom.
730
2994200
1900
49:56
So perhaps if you don't want to work somewhere,
731
2996100
2700
49:58
maybe you will try to get the sack.
732
2998800
3900
50:02
So some people do that.
733
3002833
1833
50:04
They actually try to be dismissed from their job.
734
3004666
2767
50:07
They will do something wrong or bad on purpose, so they will get the sack.
735
3007433
6567
50:14
But yes, it did happen to me.
736
3014100
1500
50:15
I was given the sack many years ago,
737
3015600
5200
50:20
but to be honest, I was really bad at it.
738
3020866
4034
50:24
I was not very good at the job.
739
3024966
4134
50:29
Here's another one.
740
3029166
2234
50:31
I like this one.
741
3031400
1466
50:32
Now, if you were watching on Sunday, you will know I was talking all about this particular subject.
742
3032866
5334
50:38
Sleeping.
743
3038266
1367
50:39
I don't know why.
744
3039633
1033
50:40
Maybe it's my age, but I really do enjoy sleeping.
745
3040666
4367
50:45
I like having a nap in the afternoon.
746
3045100
3000
50:48
In fact, after I finish this live stream,
747
3048133
3733
50:51
I might actually have a nap, a little lie down on the bed.
748
3051866
4734
50:56
And of course, the next morning, after you've had a lovely sleep
749
3056700
4233
51:01
the night before, you might say that you slept
750
3061000
4800
51:05
like a log to sleep.
751
3065900
2800
51:08
Like a log means you have a very good night's sleep.
752
3068700
4533
51:13
You sleep well,
753
3073300
2566
51:15
you have an undisturbed sleep, you are not bothered by anything.
754
3075866
5100
51:21
You don't wake up
755
3081033
1967
51:23
because
756
3083100
200
51:23
there is nothing worse than waking up during the night when.
757
3083300
3800
51:27
You are trying to sleep.
758
3087100
2433
51:29
I have to say it does annoy me a lot.
759
3089533
4633
51:34
To sleep like a log is a very positive expression
760
3094233
6067
51:40
to sleep well, to have had a good night's sleep.
761
3100400
4900
51:45
So you have had a good night's sleep.
762
3105366
4334
51:49
The action of a long, restful sleep.
763
3109800
4033
51:53
We can say that you slept like a log.
764
3113933
4467
51:58
Or maybe tonight you will sleep like a log.
765
3118600
5700
52:04
You will be still calm and you will.
766
3124400
4833
52:09
You won't wake up.
767
3129266
2134
52:11
You might wake up tomorrow morning if you're lucky.
768
3131400
4533
52:16
I didn't wake up once last night.
769
3136000
2566
52:18
I slept like a log.
770
3138566
3000
52:21
I slept so well.
771
3141666
2600
52:24
I slept peacefully.
772
3144266
3000
52:27
I was still all night.
773
3147300
2800
52:30
I didn't wake up.
774
3150100
1100
52:31
I didn't move because
775
3151200
3366
52:34
I like a log.
776
3154633
3833
52:38
It means you have a peaceful sleep.
777
3158533
5000
52:43
I like that.
778
3163600
600
52:44
Want to be honest?
779
3164200
2600
52:46
Here we go.
780
3166800
600
52:47
Here's another one.
781
3167400
1600
52:49
And it is our final one for today,
782
3169000
3833
52:52
because I will be going soon
783
3172833
3567
52:56
to feast your eyes on something.

53:01
Maybe you look at something that is very interesting.
785
3181166
4634

3194333
4767
53:19
to feast your eyes on something.
789
3199200
5466
53:24
It is a little bit like eating, I suppose.
790
3204733
4033
53:28
Maybe if you eat food you are enjoying it.
791
3208833
3433
53:32
If you feast your eyes on something, it means you are enjoying
792
3212366
5534
53:37
the thing you are looking at.
793
3217966
2067
53:40
You feast your eyes on something.
794

3800
53:55
to stare longingly.
798

3200
54:22
all of the wonderful sights in front of you.
806

5633
54:33
Maybe something you see that

3633
54:41
You will feast your eyes on something
810
3281500
4500
54:46
and that is it
811
3286100
5600
54:51
for today.
812
3291766
1767
54:53
So there are quite a few phrases there.
813
3293533
2667
54:56
And of course you don't have to watch them once.
814
3296200
3266
54:59
You can watch them as many times as you want
815
3299533
4333
55:03
again and again and again.
816
3303933
3800
55:07
So this particular livestream will be available again.
817
3307800
4600
55:12
Don't worry, I'm not going to delete this.
818
3312466
4400
55:17
It will be here forever and ever and ever.
819
3317033
3000
55:20
And there will be captions later as well.
820
3320033
2600
55:22
There will be lovely captions on the screen later on as well.
821
3322633
5033
55:27
So I hope you will enjoy that.
822
3327733
2867
55:30
Thank you for your lovely messages today.
823
3330600
3400
55:34
It's been very strange today because I think maybe there was a problem with my connection.
824
3334066
4567
55:38
I'm not sure, but I'm sure I will find out later on if there was.
825
3338633
6567
55:45
Thank you for watching.
826
3345300
1200
55:46
It's been lovely having you with me for this hour,
827
3346500
3700
55:50
and I will be back on Sunday. yes.
828
3350300
3700
55:54
If it is your first time.
829
3354066
2400
55:56
Maybe you've never watched this before.
830
3356466
2867
55:59
I am back on Sunday.
831
3359333
2867
56:02
2 hours.
832
3362200
3000
56:05
2 hours on Sunday myself.
833
3365266
3334
56:08
And also Mr. Steve will be here on Sunday.
834
3368700
3066
56:11
So we are back on Sunday.
835
3371766
2567
56:14
And don't forget, you can watch this live stream again.
836
3374333
3933
56:18
It will be available on YouTube maybe tomorrow morning.
837
3378333
6067
56:24
The captions will be available and everything will be processed.
838
3384500
5866
56:30
That is one of the problems at the moment, because YouTube
839
3390433
2933
56:33
takes a long time to process
840
3393366
3000
56:36
the live streams after they have finished,
841
3396533
3733
56:40
which is rather annoying for me, to be honest.
842
3400333
4400
56:44
Catch you later.
843
3404800
1033
56:45
See you on Sunday.
844
3405833
1533
56:47
Take care of yourselves and I hope you have a good day.
845
3407366
3134
56:50
Enjoy the rest of your week and of course, the rest of your Wednesday.
846
3410700
4700
56:55
Thank you very much. It's very kind of you.
847
3415433

56:58
Paul Mehra says I have insomnia sometimes,
848
3418233
5600
57:03
and I have to use some sleeping pills.
849
3423900
3300
57:07
There are many ways nowadays
850
3427266
3000
57:10
of getting to sleep without using medication,
851
3430466
3734
57:14
so maybe you listen to something relaxing at night.
852
3434266
3534
57:17
Maybe you have a warm
853
3437866
2834
57:20
drink of milk, maybe something like that,
854
3440700
3966
57:24
or maybe something to soothe your mind before you go to sleep.
855
3444733
4867
57:29
Maybe a cup of herbal tea to soothe your your mind
856
3449633
6200
57:35
and to help you drop off to sleep.
857
3455933
6000
57:42
There are many ways of helping yourself
858
3462000
2000
57:44
to get to sleep at night, so I hope you have a nice sleep.
859
3464000
5000
57:49
Wherever you are in the world, maybe you are about to go to bed.
860
3469100
3866
57:53
Who knows?
861
3473000
2433
57:55
I know some people like
862
3475433
1567
57:57
to stay up very late when they're watching my live streams.
863
3477000
3266
58:00
Thank you very much.
864
3480333
1300
58:01

3484600
1700
58:06
If you like this, then please
867
3486300
3000
58:09
show you care by doing this
868
3489500
3166
58:12
and then maybe YouTube will share the live stream with other people.
869
3492666
5867
58:18
I hope so.
870
3498633
1467
58:20
Catch you later. See you on Sunday.
871
3500100
2400
58:22
Mr. Steve will be here and of course, until the next time we meet.
872
3502500
4133
58:26
You know what's coming next. Yes, you do.
873
3506700
2100
58:28
Take care of yourselves.

58:30
Enjoy your day and everything else surrounding you.
