We have a lot of rain right here, right now.
1
212010
3987
03:36
And I thought what better way to spend
2
216447
3787
03:40
a rainy afternoon?
3
220585
2502
03:44
Than being right here on YouTube.
4
224906

03:47
It is English Addict coming to you live
5
227375
2719
03:50
on this Wednesday from the birthplace
6
230094
3303
03:53
of the English language, which just happens to be,
7
233548
2702
03:56
you know, where it is.
8
236818
1284
03:58
You know where I am.
9
238102
2369
04:00
It's England. And.
10
240471
4354
04:11
It sure is.
11
251032
2502
04:16
is there
12
256437
367
04:16
anything worse than a rainy day?
13
256804
3086
04:20
I wonder if it is.
14
260274
1835
04:22
I'm not even sure that there is anything.
15
262109
3087
04:25
Anything worse than having a rainy day.
16
265279
4171
04:29
Hi, everybody.
17
269733
1052
04:30
This is Mr.
18
270785
734
04:31
Duncan in a very wet England.
19
271519
2919
04:34
How are you today? Are you okay?
20
274788
2503
04:37
I hope so.
21
277291
1101
04:38
Are you feeling happy?
22
278392
1985
04:40
I hope you are feeling good today.
23
280377
1919
04:42
I'm not too bad, thank you very much.
24
282296
1985
04:44
Even though it is raining, it is pouring.
25
284281
3420
04:48
And I have to say, I don't like it at all.
26
288052
2953
04:51
I was going to go outside and have a lovely walk,
27
291305
2903
04:54
but instead I am here, stuck
28
294208
2736
04:57
right here in the house.
29
297544
2770
05:00
Unfortunately.
30
300364
1518
05:01
My name is Duncan, I love English,
31
301882
2970
05:04
I love talking about the English language.
32
304852
2552
05:07
You might say that I am an English addict
33
307671
2970
05:10
and that is exactly what I am.
34
310641
3670
05:14
I am looking for your likes if you like this, if you like
35
314912
4020
05:19
any of my lessons, please
36
319433
2502
05:22
give me a lovely like and I will be ever so pleased.
37
322219
3120
05:26
Excuse my throat today
38
326640
2502
05:29
because I'm suffering from hayfever.
39
329576
3420
05:33
Certainly over the past couple of days
40
333330
2452
05:35
I have been suffering from hay fever.
41
335782
2736
05:38
Every year I get hay fever.
42
338869
2953
05:46
And this year is no exception.
43
346743
2719
05:50
I've lost my glasses.
44
350814
1234
05:52
By the way.
45
352048
1085
05:53
I can't find my reading glasses anywhere.
46
353133
3570
05:56
I don't know where they are.
47
356970
1652
05:58
So in a moment when I have a break,
48
358622
2252
06:00
I'm going to have a look and see
49
360874
2936
06:03
if I can find my glasses
50
363810
3053
06:06
because I don't know where they are.
51
366863
2503
06:09
My voice sounds awful today.
52
369599
2486
06:12
I don't know why, but
53
372085
2336
06:14
it doesn't sound very good at all.
54
374421
2502
06:16
Yes, we have rain, although the garden is looking
55
376973
3036
06:20
rather nice because
56
380009
2503
06:23
everything is out in bloom.
57
383279
1835
06:25
And look at that. Isn't that lovely?
58
385114
2486
06:27
Everything looking rather nice outside.
59
387717
3504
06:31
Even though it's raining, we still have lots of colour.
60
391221
4170
06:36
Hello to the live chat!
61
396109
1485
06:37
Nice to see you here.
62
397594
1618
06:39
I'm going to be honest with you,
63
399212
1585
06:41
I was feeling a little bit
64
401931
3370
06:45
bored today.
65
405918
2503
06:50
I had some plans,
66
410540
1952
06:52
but I had to put all my plans off
67
412492
2502
06:54
because of the rain
68
414994
2486
06:57
falling and now I have to stay in.
69
417630
3704
07:01
So I thought, I'm going to do a live stream.
70
421350
3604
07:05
So if you know and if you've been watching over the past few weeks,
71
425304
4405
07:09
I haven't been doing Wednesday live streams,
72
429709
3854
07:13
but I'm doing one today because I have nothing else to do,
73
433913
3720
07:18
and I have a feeling that you might be interested
74
438501
3119
07:21
to spend some time with me as well.
75
441654
2919
07:24
So here we are then.
76
444890
1535
07:26
And it is an unusual live stream
77
446425
4021
07:30
because I didn't plan to have one.
78
450446
2602
07:33
But here we are anyway,
79
453632
2186
07:35
so let's make the most of it.
80
455818
2502
07:38
Hello live chat!
81
458571
1318
07:39
Nice to see you here as well.
82
459889
2102
07:41
Super duper.
83
461991
2402
07:44
We have Vitesse.
84
464393
1602
07:45
You were first by the way.
85
465995
2302
07:48
Congratulations!
86
468297
1735
07:50
Closely followed by
87
470032
2469
07:53
Louis Mendez is here today.
88
473452
4438
07:58
So congratulations to you.
89
478340
2503
08:08
One of the problems
90
488434
1251
08:09
with not wearing my glasses for reading,
91
489685
3303
08:13
because I'm wearing my normal glasses at the moment.
92
493589
2552
08:16
And to be honest,
93
496525
2502
08:19
I can't see very well.
94
499261
2903
08:22
But if I wear my reading glasses,
95
502581
3787
08:26
then everything that is close to me looks lovely and clear,
96
506368
4738
08:31
so I will look for those in a moment
97
511707
2002
08:33
or else
98
513709
2502
08:36
I might start having problems.
99
516294
2019
08:38
Especially when I read the live chat,
100
518313
3087
08:41
because at the moment I can't see it clearly.
101
521400
2602
08:44
Isn't it strange?
102
524403
1368
08:45
Eyes are really weird things, aren't they?
103
525771
4170
08:50
When you think about it, they're very strange.
104
530242
2352
08:52
They're inside the front of your head
105
532594
2486
08:55
and quite often you don't think about them.
106
535197
1851
08:57
You just take it for granted that you can see
107
537048
3637
09:01
all of the beautiful things around you.
108
541102
2503
09:04
But it is only when things go wrong with your eyes
109
544256
3870
09:08
that you start to realise how important they are.
110
548243
3670
09:12
And one of the things I really find annoying
111
552297
2402
09:14
is when I am wearing the wrong glasses.
112
554699
3020
09:18
So at the moment I'm wearing my
113
558203
2335
09:20
glasses for general vision,
114
560538
2403
09:24
but everything
115
564542
684
09:25
near is a little bit blurred.
116
565226
3571
09:28
I can't see it very clearly.
117
568913
2503
09:31
Hello also Irene.
118
571466
1735
09:33
Hello Irene, nice to see you here as well.
119
573201
3370
09:37
We also have Marianne.
120
577055
2035
09:39
Hello, Marianne.
121
579090
1251
09:40
Nice to see you as well.
122
580341
1752
09:42
Don't breathe.
123
582093
1218
09:43
Slovic, I hope I pronounced your name correctly.
124
583311
4271
09:47
Watching in Poland.
125
587582
1668
09:49
Hello, Poland.
126
589250
1235
09:50
Nice to see you here as well.
127
590485
2502
09:53
Palmira, 77.
128
593271
2969
09:56
Camilla.
129
596240
1352
09:57
Hello, Camilla.
130
597592
2052
09:59
Nice to see you here.
131
599644
1968
10:01
Antonio.
132
601612
1502
10:03
Gretta is here as well.
133
603114
2502
10:06
We are talking briefly
134
606334
1918
10:08
about the big room rendezvous.
135
608252
4221
10:12
We will be meeting up together
136
612890
2503
10:15
in Rome in around about three weeks from now.
137
615393
3837
10:19
Also, we have.
138
619981
2402
10:22
Who else is here?
139
622383
1919
10:24
Charizard. Hello?
140
624302
2252
10:26
Charizard or Charizard?
141
626554
2836
10:30
Nice to see you here.
142
630091
1518
10:31
I'm very intrigued to find out where you are
143
631609
4354
10:36
watching Claudia.
144
636263
2219
10:38
Hello, Claudia, thank you very much for your email
145
638482
3220
10:42
concerning the gift.
146
642620
3069
10:47
I am very excited to receive it.
147
647341
2903
10:50
I have to say a lovely little gift.
148
650244
2502
10:53
Thank you Claudia, very much.
149
653163
2870
10:56
I really do want.
150
656367
2452
10:58
I want so much
151
658819
1802
11:00
to wear my glasses for reading.
152
660621
2502
11:03
In fact, I'm going to do it now.
153
663807
2102
11:05
This is something I don't normally do, but I'm going to do it now.
154
665909
2787
11:09
So I'm going to get my reading glasses
155
669179
2503
11:11
whilst I get you in the mood for today's
156
671849
3303
11:15
live stream.
157
675152
2502
11:23
Do. You.
158
683727
13163
11:51
Thanks.
159
711571
618
11:52
Beth.
160
712189
433
11:52
Sir, I can see you now.
161
712622
2837
11:55
There you are.
162
715559
2502
11:59
Oh, that feels so much better,
163
719312
3087
12:02
I have to say, because now I can see what I'm doing.
164
722399
3570
12:06
That was very weird, if I was honest with you.
165
726570
3003
12:09
Louis says I don't need reading glasses.
166
729839
2970
12:13
But the letters started to become dense.
167
733226
3954
12:17
Sometimes.
168
737180
1185
12:18
It is often, often hard to see them.
169
738365
3470
12:22
Maybe sometimes.
170
742552
2169
12:24
If you are reading very small print,
171
744721
2519
12:28
for example, in a newspaper,
172
748525
2502
12:31
if you are reading newspaper
173
751261
2502
12:33
print, it's so small
174
753930
2519
12:36
I have difficulty reading
175
756449
2503
12:39
very small print,
176
759118
2503
12:41
especially in the newspaper or a magazine.
177
761788
3570
12:45
I often find it very difficult to
178
765358
3303
12:49
see the words on the paper,
179
769829
2870
12:52
to be honest, which is rather embarrassing.
180
772699
2585
12:55
Today we are looking at words and phrases connected
181
775818
2686
12:58
to being in the house
182
778504
3771
13:02
on a rainy day, things to do on a rainy day.
183
782275
4538
13:06
There are many things that can keep you
184
786813
2485
13:09
occupied or busy,
185
789649
2502
13:12
but I think the most disappointing thing about the rain
186
792618
2920
13:15
is when you have plans, as if you have planned
187
795538
4054
13:20
to do something on a day
188
800042
2870
13:23
when all of a sudden
189
803663
2018
13:25
it starts to rain.
190
805681
2503
13:28
I wanted to go outside
191
808584
1885
13:30
and have a walk and do some filming today,
192
810469
3187
13:33
but unfortunately I can't because it is well, it is
193
813656
5072
13:39
raining.
194
819812
2119
13:41
Even in the studio we have rain,
195
821931
2619
13:44
which is rather annoying to say the least.
196
824967
2603
13:48
Do you see?
197
828170
2503
13:50
Did you see the dramatic pictures?
198
830873
2519
13:54
There were some photographs taken
199
834777
2302
13:57
after that incredible
200
837079
2853
14:01
drama on board
201
841617
2502
14:05
the passenger plane yesterday.
202
845487
2069
14:07
Did you see it?
203
847556
1468
14:09
Now, I don't know about you, but I do sometimes
204
849024
3454
14:12
watch TV programmes
205
852478
3186
14:16
about aircraft disasters.
206
856165
3236
14:19
I don't know why, but sometimes I find it
207
859952
2219
14:22
interesting, especially when something happens
208
862171
3086
14:25
and I don't know how it happened or why it happened.
209
865624
3020
14:28
And then they investigate the reason why
210
868944
3537
14:32
the accident occurred.
211
872481
2252
14:34
But I have to say, I was a little bit.
212
874733
2619
14:40
Shocked.
213
880289
784
14:41
Concerned. Worried.
214
881073
2269
14:43
Maybe because I will be taking a flight
215
883342
4120
14:48
in Iran about three weeks from now.
216
888080
2168
14:50
So I feel as if I have to ask this question.
217
890248
3270
14:53
And the question is, are you afraid of flying now,
218
893752
3904
14:57
I have to say, the first time I ever flew on a plane,
219
897656
4805
15:03
I was afraid and I think it is a natural feeling.
220
903295
3486
15:06
However, when you start hearing of things happening
221
906781
5456
15:12
on aeroplanes,
222
912687
2219
15:14
when things go wrong or when they go seriously wrong,
223
914906
4104
15:20
like the one
224
920362
1351
15:21
that had the problem yesterday, in fact,
225
921713
3236
15:24
it had to make an emergency landing.
226
924949
1902
15:26
I think it was. Where was it?
227
926851
1702
15:28
Was it Thailand?
228
928553
1351
15:29
It made an emergency landing.
229
929904
1769
15:31
It was travelling from London and it had to make
230
931673
4137
15:35
an emergency landing because it suddenly dropped
231
935810
2703
15:40
whilst flying at high altitude.
232
940165
3303
15:43
It dropped 7000ft
233
943768
2736
15:47
in just 30s or was it 30s or three minutes?
234
947422
3753
15:51
I think it was actually three minutes.
235
951175
2403
15:53
But of course, if you are on a plane,
236
953578
1835
15:55
you will often find that quite often
237
955413
3136
15:58
the plane will go up and down
238
958549
2703
16:01
suddenly turbulence.
239
961552
2903
16:04
They call it turbulence.
240
964472
2102
16:06
So when the plane hits
241
966574
2269
16:08
small pockets of air,
242
968843
2502
16:12
the plane will move up and down.
243
972513
2636
16:15
And I have to say,
244
975600
2502
16:18
when I saw the pictures
245
978469
1235
16:19
yesterday of the aftermath
246
979704
3220
16:23
of that rather dramatic
247
983991
2136
16:26
moment on board that
248
986127
2502
16:29
Singapore Airlines plane,
249
989013
2069
16:31
I have to admit I was a little bit afraid.
250
991082
3003
16:34
I was thinking to myself, in just three weeks from now,
251
994085
3737
16:37
I will be flying
252
997822
2502
16:40
to Italy.
253
1000741
1802
16:42
It's not very far away.
254
1002543
1401
16:43
So I think from here now we are flying from Manchester
255
1003944
5856
16:49
Airport and I think it takes around
256
1009917
4588
16:55
2.5 hours,
257
1015439
2503
16:57
2.5 hours to get from Manchester
258
1017992
3153
17:01
to Italy.
259
1021612
2052
17:03
We will be landing in Rome.
260
1023664
2269
17:05
In fact, I and I wasn't too worried about it.
261
1025933
4955
17:10
But unfortunately after yesterday,
262
1030888
2636
17:14
after looking at all of those dramatic pictures
263
1034158
2636
17:17
on board that plane, I have to say I was a little worried
264
1037811
3821
17:22
and I don't know why, but it is strange.
265
1042383
2686
17:25
We do like sometimes watching things,
266
1045069
3553
17:29
especially when things go wrong
267
1049089
2503
17:31
and I don't know why, but but I find it fascinating.
268
1051642
3637
17:35
I think the most reassuring part of watching
269
1055546
3953
17:40
those types of
270
1060584
1084
17:41
TV shows where disasters happen.
271
1061668
2636
17:44
I think sometimes it is reassuring because you know
272
1064521
3387
17:47
that they have solved that problem.
273
1067908
2736
17:50
They have put that problem right,
274
1070961
2703
17:54
so it won't happen again.
275
1074665
2452
17:57
Maybe that's one of the reasons why I enjoy watching them,
276
1077117
3353
18:00
but I have to say, I remember I still remember
277
1080921
3720
18:04
clearly the first time I ever flew, and that was with Mr.
278
1084641
4054
18:08
Steve, and we went to Greece
279
1088695
2503
18:12
and I was really afraid.
280
1092032
1735
18:13
But I was also excited as well.
281
1093767
3503
18:17
Sometimes it is possible to fear something,
282
1097671
3753
18:21
but also to feel excited about it.
283
1101808
4071
18:26
So I suppose I had the feeling of both excitement
284
1106129
3420
18:29
and fear at the same time.
285
1109699
2670
18:32
But what about you?
286
1112869
1902
18:34
Are you afraid of flying
287
1114771
2786
18:37
whenever you hear of problems
288
1117557
2703
18:40
occurring on board an aircraft,
289
1120343
2920
18:44
I often feel as
290
1124814
968
18:45
if as if I don't want to get on a plane.
291
1125782
2502
18:48
I don't know why.
292
1128418
2502
18:51
Hello to Joseph.
293
1131020
2553
18:53
Hello, Joseph.
294
1133573
1385
18:54
The best thing to do on a rainy day is
295
1134958
2519
18:57
have a good lunch and a long nap.
296
1137477
2702
19:00
I have to say, Joseph, you are correct.
297
1140413
3303
19:03
I think that's a great suggestion,
298
1143933
2903
19:07
but it is disappointing when you make plans for your day
299
1147854
3520
19:11
and then the rain comes along and spoils it.
300
1151374
3737
19:15
I have to say,
301
1155111
2502
19:17
Louis Mendez says, when I was young,
302
1157997
3187
19:21
I like to lie in bed and listen to the rain coming down.
303
1161184
3119
19:24
Yes, there is something quite relaxing and peaceful
304
1164537
3537
19:28
about the rain falling,
305
1168524
2519
19:31
especially when it is falling against the glass.
306
1171711
2903
19:35
The test, says Mr.
307
1175481
2052
19:37
Duncan.
308
1177533
567
19:38
It is better to travel by car.
309
1178100
4205
19:42
I suppose so, but they do say that
310
1182605
3086
19:45
travelling by plane is the safest way to travel.
311
1185691
4738
19:51
I think you're more
312
1191530
885
19:52
likely to have an accident in a car
313
1192415
2535
19:56
than in an aircraft,
314
1196035
2502
19:59
which I find rather
315
1199004
2102
20:01
interesting as well.
316
1201106
2069
20:03
Claudia, some some years ago
317
1203175
2286
20:05
I flew to Chile.
318
1205461
2502
20:08
It was such an amazing flight.
319
1208163
2486
20:10
Very relaxing.
320
1210883
1902
20:12
Well, I always feel great once the plane is in the air.
321
1212785
3470
20:17
The the times that I always feel
322
1217306
2486
20:19
afraid is when the plane is taking off
323
1219792
2519
20:23
and as it is landing.
324
1223812
2503
20:26
But once I'm up in the in the sky,
325
1226699
2252
20:28
once the plane is flying and everything is nice,
326
1228951
3203
20:33
I feel okay.
327
1233288
1719
20:35
I don't feel so worried about it.
328
1235007
2502
20:37
If I was honest with you.
329
1237709
2503
20:40
Hello.
330
1240729
701
20:41
It was.
331
1241430
1201
20:42
Hello? Idris.
332
1242631
2302
20:44
Are you okay today?
333
1244933
2620
20:47
I hope so,
334
1247869
2503
20:50
but I will be flying.
335
1250489
2669
20:53
And guess where I am flying to?
336
1253275
1918
20:55
I will be flying to Italy.
337
1255193
2503
20:58
In fact, I will be in Rome.
338
1258413
2486
21:00
And I know for a fact that some of you will also be
339
1260949
3520
21:04
joining us as well in Rome,
340
1264469
3153
21:08
when I have my Roman holiday,
341
1268039
2269
21:11
or should I call it
342
1271693
1151
21:12
the Roman Rendezvous?
343
1272844
2486
21:15
I don't know, I suppose I could, I could use both of those
344
1275413
2820
21:18
when you think about it.
345
1278233
1602
21:19
But yes, I'm very excited, I can't wait.
346
1279835
2786
21:22
I had a lovely offer, by the way,
347
1282888
2502
21:27
from someone offering
348
1287108
2770
21:30
to give us some free accommodation
349
1290562
2502
21:33
in a certain part of Italy, but unfortunately we can't
350
1293448
3987
21:37
take the offer at the moment because we have already made plans
351
1297469
4955
21:42
unfortunately, which is a shame.
352
1302841
2502
21:45
Hello Irene again.
353
1305894
1618
21:47
Hello also, who else is here?
354
1307512
1985
21:49
I don't want to miss anyone out.
355
1309497
1685
21:51
Hello, Zika.
356
1311182
1969
21:53
It's nice to see you here today.
357
1313151
2402
21:55
By the way, there is a new English lesson on my YouTube channel.
358
1315553
4171
21:59
I posted it yesterday.
359
1319724
1985
22:01
I decided to go out a couple of days ago
360
1321709
2636
22:04
to do some filming because the weather was so nice.
361
1324345
2820
22:08
The only problem is
362
1328182
2503
22:10
it gave me hay fever,
363
1330735
2786
22:14
so that's the reason why my voice
364
1334155
2502
22:16
sounds a little bit strange today.
365
1336708
3153
22:20
As usual.
366
1340211
1318
22:21
You know what happens every year?
367
1341529
2502
22:24
Every summer?
368
1344182
1368
22:25
I always suffer from the same thing.
369
1345550
2736
22:28
And that is hay fever.
370
1348286
3203
22:32
And I don't know why
371
1352240
2469
22:34
we have a rainy day.
372
1354709
1401
22:36
However, I have to say I feel very happy
373
1356110
4121
22:40
looking out of the window and seeing this.
374
1360798
2503
22:44
Look at that.
375
1364285
801
22:45
Can you see now in the background,
376
1365086
2736
22:47
in the distance you can see there are there are some beautiful
377
1367822
3954
22:51
pink flowers that is the rhododendron
378
1371776
3119
22:56
and it's looking rather
379
1376213
1202
22:57
nice this year, despite
380
1377415
2936
23:00
the fact that we are also having lots of rain as well.
381
1380351
3487
23:04
Not very nice.
382
1384472
2502
23:07
The live chat is very busy.
383
1387591
1952
23:09
Hello live chat.
384
1389543
1352
23:10
It's nice to see you here.
385
1390895
1768
23:12
It would not be English addict without you here
386
1392663
4137
23:18
on the live chat.
387
1398052
2502
23:25
Think of opening an English language
388
1405709
2453
23:28
centre to the place where you travel.
389
1408162
3186
23:31
It's a very good idea.
390
1411648
1836
23:33
When I was living in China, I used to work
391
1413484
3019
23:36
at a small English centre.
392
1416503
3370
23:40
A small place where people would go to
393
1420524
3303
23:43
to learn English of all ages.
394
1423827
3003
23:47
So we had kids going there, we had adults going there
395
1427214
3937
23:51
and that was one of my jobs.
396
1431618
1752
23:53
I had lots of jobs.
397
1433370
2302
23:55
I was working in the main school,
398
1435672
2403
23:58
but also in the training centre as well.
399
1438075
2552
24:00
The English Centre.
400
1440627
1952
24:02
And I have to say it was a very interesting experience.
401
1442579
4204
24:07
I will be honest with you.
402
1447434
1234
24:08
I think it's easier.
403
1448668
2486
24:11
I don't know if there are any teachers
404
1451154
1619
24:12
watching at the moment, but from my own experience of teaching,
405
1452773
4170
24:18
especially when I was in China,
406
1458211
2503
24:20
teaching younger people is much easier
407
1460764
3320
24:24
because I find that the information will go into their brains
408
1464718
4771
24:29
much, much easier.
409
1469990
2502
24:33
It is a fast process
410
1473059
3204
24:36
teaching young people.
411
1476680
2502
24:39
What I often find
412
1479232
1301
24:40
when I'm teaching adults is they will often
413
1480533
3621
24:44
have lots of follow up questions.
414
1484154
2502
24:47
Whereas if you if you teach children,
415
1487674
2819
24:51
they don't they don't normally have
416
1491244
1935
24:53
lots of follow up questions.
417
1493179
2553
24:56
So that I suppose that is one of the big differences
418
1496332
3337
24:59
between those things.
419
1499669
1718
25:01
Thank you for joining me today.
420
1501387
1886
25:03
We will be looking at things
421
1503273
2669
25:05
to do on a rainy day,
422
1505942
2936
25:09
because it is a rainy day here in England.
423
1509829
3604
25:13
All of that coming in a moment.
424
1513916
2186
25:16
Don't go away.
425
1516102
1235
27:05
Thank you.
426
1625694
367
27:06
Mr. Steve, this is English addict.
427
1626061
2519
27:08
Hello there.
428
1628580
801
27:09
I hope you are having a good day.
429
1629381
2586
27:21
It's a wet one here.
430
1641143
1651
27:24
It is a wet day here in England.
431
1644563
3820
27:28
Which brings me on to a very interesting topic.
432
1648683
5039
27:34
Things to do on a rainy day.
433
1654022
3887
27:37
I remember as a kid.
434
1657909
1652
27:39
I always remember as a child hating
435
1659561
4321
27:45
rainy days, stuck in the house.
436
1665033
3537
27:48
You wanted to go outside and play with your friends,
437
1668570
3620
27:53
but you couldn't because it was raining.
438
1673525
2602
27:56
And there is nothing worse than a rainy day.
439
1676127
2553
27:59
Especially when you want to do something outside.
440
1679013
2937
28:02
But you can't.
441
1682250
1535
28:03
So that is what we are looking at right now.
442
1683785
3136
28:06
Things to do on a rainy day.
443
1686921
2820
28:09
And I would imagine that you have your own suggestions
444
1689741
3720
28:13
as well of things that you can do when the rain is falling.
445
1693461
6006
28:19
Well, I suppose I suppose
446
1699467
2703
28:22
that there are some obvious ones,
447
1702403
2503
28:25
very obvious things, Mr.
448
1705640
2135
28:27
Duncan.
449
1707775
601
28:29
It's very easy to
450
1709944
1335
28:31
work out what to do on a rainy day.
451
1711279
3420
28:35
Well, we will talk about them anyway.
452
1715066
2502
28:38
I suppose the things you can do on a rainy day.
453
1718219
3770
28:41
Well, most of them are very similar,
454
1721989
2503
28:44
especially on on this list
455
1724642
2502
28:47
that I have next to me right now.
456
1727345
2485
28:50
Stay indoors.
457
1730398
2502
28:53
That's what I'm doing now.
458
1733067
1652
28:54
I'm staying indoors because it's raining, unfortunately,
459
1734719
3536
28:58
and I can't go outside because it's horrible.
460
1738673
3937
29:03
Stay at home.
461
1743294
1768
29:05
Yes, that's what I am doing.
462
1745062
2369
29:07
I am staying at home.
463
1747431
1352
29:08
I'm not going anywhere.
464
1748783
1901
29:10
I don't go out.
465
1750684
2069
29:12
That is very good advice.
466
1752753
1819
29:14
Don't go out, stay indoors,
467
1754572
2736
29:18
stay at home,
468
1758559
2102
29:20
don't go out.
469
1760661
2019
29:22
Spend it relaxing.
470
1762680
3470
29:26
Just like earlier.
471
1766700
1969
29:28
One of the suggestions was spending time in bed
472
1768669
3670
29:32
or just staying in bed and doing nothing.
473
1772339
4621
29:36
I have to say, I think that is a very good suggestion indeed.
474
1776960
5272
29:42
Or of course you can just sit
475
1782900
2502
29:45
and watch the rain.
476
1785652
1919
29:47
You can sit and watch the rain falling
477
1787571
3220
29:51
like like I am right now.
478
1791125
2519
29:55
Oh yes, there it is.
479
1795262
2002
29:57
As if by magic.
480
1797264
1735
29:58
The rain is now falling.
481
1798999
2502
30:02
Things to do on the rainy day.
482
1802119
2385
30:04
You can sit and look out the window.
483
1804504
2486
30:07
And be thankful
484
1807040
2253
30:09
that you are not outside in the rain.
485
1809293
3386
30:15
What do you do when it rains?
486
1815532
2970
30:18
I wonder what you do.
487
1818502
2502
30:21
Does it rain very often in your country?
488
1821354
3087
30:24
Because I know in some countries
489
1824808
3036
30:29
it doesn't rain very often.
490
1829095
1836
30:30
However, here in the UK,
491
1830931
2502
30:33
especially here in England, we do have a lot of rain.
492
1833650
4271
30:37
I have to say it does rain quite often.
493
1837921
3387
30:41
A lot of people always imagine.
494
1841608
1685
30:43
They imagine that a typical day
495
1843293
2753
30:46
in England is a rainy day.
496
1846579
2920
30:50
And yes, you are right, it can quite often
497
1850300
3270
30:53
be very wet and rainy.
498
1853570
2736
30:57
A bit like today, really.
499
1857057
2102
30:59
So what do you do when it rains?
500
1859159
1952
31:01
Well, here are some suggestions if you're not sure what to do,
501
1861111
4170
31:05
here are some suggestions of things you can do on a rainy day.
502
1865748
4271
31:11
Maybe you can do some of those chores
503
1871037
3337
31:14
you have been putting off for ages.
504
1874757
3504
31:18
Maybe something you have to do around the house,
505
1878561
3220
31:22
maybe a certain job that you should be doing
506
1882231
4255
31:26
or you should have done already, but you've been putting it off.
507
1886486
3687
31:30
You keep saying, no, I will do it another time.
508
1890540
2752
31:33
I will do it later.
509
1893292
1719
31:35
I will do it on another day.
510
1895011
2302
31:37
But then, of course, suddenly you find yourself in the house.
511
1897313
3337
31:40
You are stuck in the house.
512
1900650
2452
31:43
So why not do some of those chores,
513
1903102
2770
31:46
some of those little household jobs that you've been putting off
514
1906172
4221
31:50
for ages?
515
1910877
2285
31:53
For example, last week
516
1913162
2503
31:56
we took down the Christmas tree.
517
1916282
4471
32:01
Last week.
518
1921370
2169
32:03
Yes, you heard me right.
519
1923539
1852
32:05
Last week we decided to take the Christmas tree down.
520
1925391
3220
32:08
It has been up in the living room
521
1928994
2920
32:12
since before Christmas last year,
522
1932448
2552
32:16
and we took it down last week.
523
1936168
1735
32:17
The only problem is we haven't actually put it away.
524
1937903
3120
32:21
So it is now lying down in the conservatory
525
1941590
3971
32:25
at the back of the house.
526
1945561
1952
32:27
So that is one job I suppose I could do today.
527
1947513
3387
32:31
I could take the Christmas tree and put it up in the loft.
528
1951350
4288
32:36
So perhaps you could do some chores, maybe a job
529
1956772
3570
32:40
that you've been putting off for a long, long
530
1960342
2653
32:42
time.
531
1962995
2486
32:45
Claudia says, I will do some sewing,
532
1965748
3303
32:49
or I will gather my clothes that
533
1969051
2552
32:51
I need to fix or repair.
534
1971603
2486
32:54
A rainy day is a good opportunity to do that task.
535
1974590
4421
32:59
Yes, you are right, I think so.
536
1979011
2335
33:01
Things that you probably should have done
537
1981346
3120
33:05
many, many weeks ago you can do on a rainy day.
538
1985150
3454
33:10
If a group of you are stuck indoors,
539
1990589
3270
33:14
then you could play a game.
540
1994192
2937
33:17
You could do an activity, you could carry out something
541
1997479
3370
33:20
or do something, or take part in
542
2000999
3470
33:24
something with other people
543
2004469
2503
33:27
physically there,
544
2007322
2503
33:29
right in the place where you are.
545
2009991
2736
33:32
If you are with other people,
546
2012961
2319
33:35
you could do something you could play a game,
547
2015280
2502
33:38
you could have a go at playing
548
2018483
2636
33:41
a certain type of game.
549
2021636
2503
33:45
Maybe you could watch TV.
550
2025240
2502
33:48
now there is something that I love to do,
551
2028510
2753
33:51
even if it's not raining, even if the sun is out.
552
2031263
3820
33:55
Sometimes staying in the house watching TV.
553
2035283
3871
33:59
So maybe you could watch TV, maybe a movie,
554
2039554
2870
34:02
maybe something funny to cheer you up.
555
2042691
2502
34:05
Because one of the problems with a rainy day is quite often
556
2045643
3387
34:09
you feel a little bit miserable.
557
2049447
2903
34:13
I would say that quite often
558
2053051
2068
34:15
people will will see rain
559
2055119
3003
34:18
and they will feel a little unhappy or gloomy.
560
2058873
3687
34:23
Maybe you could play a video game.
561
2063645
2485
34:26
So I suppose you don't have to be with other people.
562
2066130
3020
34:29
You could play a video game
563
2069517
2503
34:32
online with lots of people
564
2072120
2502
34:34
who are also stuck in the house.
565
2074639
2502
34:38
And I suppose also you could
566
2078609
1552
34:40
learn some English or in my case
567
2080161
3036
34:43
teach some English, which is what
568
2083881
2903
34:46
what I'm doing right now.
569
2086801
2502
34:52
My stupid throat.
570
2092023
1651
34:53
I hate my throat so much because of hay
571
2093674
3120
34:56
fever.
572
2096794
2486
35:03
This is one of the problems
573
2103200
1302
35:04
when you use your voice a lot.
574
2104502
2502
35:08
When things go wrong,
575
2108005
2469
35:10
you really do not enjoy it.
576
2110474
3537
35:14
It is very annoying.
577
2114011
2503
35:16
If you are with a group of people, perhaps you could play
578
2116647
3687
35:21
a board game.
579
2121085
2502
35:23
I remember as a child our family would often play
580
2123604
3820
35:27
games, maybe a certain type of game.
581
2127424
3087
35:30
We would sit and play a certain type of board game.
582
2130845
4521
35:36
For example.
583
2136650
1085
35:37
Have you ever played this game?
584
2137735
2169
35:39
It's a very interesting game.
585
2139904
1885
35:41
I used to play this a lot as a kid.
586
2141789
2502
35:44
Snakes and ladders
587
2144608
2503
35:47
a very simple game.
588
2147161
2402
35:49
You just move around a board
589
2149563
2486
35:52
and each time you go on a ladder, you go up.
590
2152349
4671
35:57
Each time you land on a snake,
591
2157771
2503
36:00
you go down.
592
2160441
2502
36:03
So the idea is to get around the board and get to the end,
593
2163177
5105
36:09
the final square.
594
2169533
1985
36:11
But each time you land on something,
595
2171518
2753
36:14
you will either go up or you will slide back down.
596
2174638
3654
36:18
So the ladder will take you up
597
2178692
2502
36:21
and the snake will make you slide
598
2181244
3237
36:24
back down.
599
2184631
2486
36:27
I suppose it's worth
600
2187117
1201
36:28
mentioning that the game is also known
601
2188318
3504
36:31
as Chutes and Ladders,
602
2191822
3003
36:35
so quite often in the United States you will often see
603
2195192
3737
36:39
Chutes and Ladders.
604
2199513
2452
36:41
It is a very similar game, but
605
2201965
2920
36:46
the name is
606
2206469
1085
36:47
different and there are no snakes,
607
2207554
2669
36:50
unlike the one we play here,
608
2210223
2569
36:53
which has snakes.
609
2213093
2502
36:55
Then I suppose
610
2215795
1285
36:57
you could play another type of board game.
611
2217080
2502
36:59
This is a very popular board game
612
2219733
3920
37:04
called monopoly.
613
2224020
2503
37:07
I remember as a kid
614
2227223
1469
37:08
our family would sit around
615
2228692
2802
37:11
and we would play monopoly and
616
2231494
3771
37:16
it would often end with someone
617
2236399
2503
37:19
complaining or someone getting angry,
618
2239919
2820
37:23
or someone
619
2243573
2502
37:26
being annoyed by the game.
620
2246192
2503
37:28
So I don't remember ever finishing
621
2248795
2636
37:32
a game of monopoly.
622
2252031
1952
37:33
I don't remember ever, ever finishing a game of not really,
623
2253983
3687
37:37
because before we finished the game we would always end up arguing.
624
2257670
4538
37:42
Everyone would start fighting over the game.
625
2262208
3303
37:47
But it is a very good game.
626
2267997
2503
37:51
I suppose
627
2271484
751
37:52
you could also occupy yourself
628
2272235
2485
37:54
do something by yourself.
629
2274987
2503
37:57
So when we say that you occupy yourself,
630
2277540
3603
38:01
we are saying that you are doing something on your own.
631
2281143
3571
38:05
You occupy yourself.
632
2285181
2502
38:07
You are doing something to pass away the time.
633
2287950
4738
38:13
You might put together
634
2293556
3086
38:17
a jigsaw puzzle like this.
635
2297393
2486
38:19
So you are doing something that will keep you busy.
636
2299879
3119
38:23
It will occupy your mind
637
2303666
2502
38:26
so you don't feel bored.
638
2306335
2619
38:29
And of course, as we all know,
639
2309305
2068
38:32
when you are busy,
640
2312608
1552
38:34
time goes by much faster,
641
2314160
3370
38:38
which can be a good thing
642
2318631
2402
38:41
or a bad thing when you think about it.
643
2321033

Quite often the clues are so difficult
650
2342454
2636
39:05
they are hard to solve.
651
2345307
2503
39:08
But there are some people who are very good
652
2348277
2586
39:11
at solving crossword puzzles.
653
2351396
3003

1117
39:29
It's gone now.
660
2369247
2503
39:32

662
2374953
2453
39:37
the screen was starting to annoy me.
663
2377406
2502
39:39
So it's gone now.
664
2379991
1352
39:41
Crossword puzzles.
665
2381343
1768
39:43
A lot of newspapers will have a crossword puzzle.
666
2383111
3320
39:46
But I have to be honest with you, I often find them
667
2386648
2436
39:49
very difficult to solve.
668
2389084
2486
39:51
Quite often the clues will be quite difficult to to solve.
669
2391720
5539
39:57
We call them cryptic clues,
670
2397259
2802
40:00
something that is cryptic
671
2400712
2502
40:03
as an, as a has as a hidden meaning.
672
2403448
3687
40:07
Some sort of meaning is hidden away
673
2407402
2502
40:10
within that sentence.
674
2410071
2369
40:12
So quite often with crosswords
675
2412440
2519
40:15
you will find that there are clues
676
2415293
2619
40:18
that give you the word
677
2418630
2502
40:21
that you are trying to find.
678
2421332
2403
40:23
But I have to say, I'm
679
2423735
2002
40:25
not very good at crosswords.
680
2425737
3003
40:30
Maybe you can just go outside
681
2430859
2886
40:34
and enjoy the rain.
682
2434195
2503
40:40
As a child, maybe
683
2440101
2219
40:42
I would go outside and play in the rain,

2442320
2586
40:45
splash in the puddle,
685
2445423
2669
40:49
and sometimes as an adult, I will also do it.

Sometimes as an adult,

2454832
2102
40:56
I will also go out and splash
688
2456934
2736
41:00

47:48
Thank you.
816
2868993
717
47:49
As is.
817
2869710
784
47:50
Yes, we often say that when the rain is coming
818
2870494
3387
47:53
down, when it is raining heavily,
819
2873881
2502
47:56
we say that it is raining
820
2876700
2503
47:59
cats and dogs.
821
2879336
2503
48:02
It's an interesting expression,
822
2882039
2502
48:06
figuratively,
823
2886060
1968
48:08
of course we are saying that figuratively
824
2888028
3070
48:11
it is not actually raining cats
825
2891699
2252
48:13
and dogs, fortunately.
826
2893951
2502
48:16
Imagine that.
827
2896620
1351
48:17
But now it is raining.
828
2897971
1218
48:19
It is raining cats and dogs.
829
2899189
4238
48:23
You might say that it is coming down heavily.
830
2903727
3687
48:27
You might have heavy rain.
831
2907831
2503
48:30
So heavy rain means the rain is coming down
832
2910601
3603
48:34
in large amounts.
833
2914972
2202
48:37
The rain is heavy.
834
2917174
2486
48:40
There is a lot of rain falling.
835
2920010
2519
48:43
And then I have to say.
836
2923347
1017
48:46
Today
837
2926650
1284
48:47
I was very disappointed because I wanted to go out
838
2927934
2820
48:51
and sadly the rain stopped me from going outside,
839
2931388
5188
48:57
which is not very nice.
840
2937260
2503
49:03
Yes, lots of troubles.
841
2943683
1469
49:05
Lots of problems will come along at the same time.
842
2945152
2919
49:08
That is what it means.
843
2948071
2369
49:10
It never rains, but it pours.
844
2950440
2553
49:13
One thing doesn't happen by itself quite often.
845
2953977
4087
49:18
There are many other things that you have to face
846
2958064
3170
49:22
normally.
847
2962919
684
49:23
At the same time.
848
2963603
2469
49:26
Very annoying.
849
2966072
2036
49:28
Oh! Fairy balls.
850
2968108
1918
49:30
Hello, fairy balls, thank you very much.
851
2970026
2669
49:32
You might say that it is raining buckets,
852
2972996
3804
49:37
so maybe if the rain is very heavy,
853
2977650
3120
49:41
we can say that the rain is coming down in buckets.
854
2981404
4254
49:46
It means that there is a large volume
855
2986309
4271
49:50
or a very large amount
856
2990930
2503
49:53
of rain coming down.
857
2993783
2252
49:56
So you are right. Yes.
858
2996035
1418
50:00
Do you do like the
859
3000873
2486
50:04
petrichor smell, Mr.
860
3004444
2936
50:07
Duncan, if I'm not mistaken, is there
861
3007380
2903
50:10
is that the smell that you get after the rain?
862
3010283
2786
50:13
Because quite often, especially if it's been very dry,
863
3013653
3436
50:17
and then you get some rain, there is normally a beautiful
864
3017523
3270
50:20
smell, a sweet smell
865
3020793
2486
50:23
that you get after the rain has fallen.
866
3023479
2653
50:27
And yes, I do like that smell.
867
3027567
2502
50:30
I do like it very much.
868
3030119
2503
50:32
Rain is very good for the plants.
869
3032788
1836
50:34
It is true, it is true.
870
3034624
2068
50:36
If there is one thing that loves the rain,
871
3036692
2870
50:41
it is nature.
872
3041247
1535
50:42
Plants, the trees.
873
3042782
2035
50:44
Even the animals are quite often
874
3044817
3036
50:48
pleased to see the rain
875
3048270
2219
50:50
because it means they have lots of water to drink,
876
3050489
3003
50:55
as it says.
877
3055194
784
50:55
Yes, Mr.
878
3055978
534
50:56
Duncan, that is that is the smell.
879
3056512
2769
50:59
The smell that is produced after the rain has stopped.
880
3059281
3837
51:03
I do like that smell.
881
3063536
1351
51:04
It's a very sweet smell,
882
3064887
1468
51:07
and I think
883
3067856
618
51:08
it has some sort of it is some sort of chemical reaction
884
3068474
4871
51:13
taking place and it produces that beautiful, sweet smell.
885
3073345
4021
51:17
You are right.
886
3077366
2285
51:19
I will be going in a moment.
887
3079651
1702
51:21
I hope you've enjoyed today's unusual
888
3081353
3637
51:25
surprise live stream.
889
3085557
3037
51:28
I hope it has been enjoyable
890
3088594
2485
51:31
and it has helped you
891
3091346
2136
51:33
to pass the time away.
892
3093482
2502
51:36
Because I was going to go outside and unfortunately
893
3096535
3337
51:40
I couldn't because it's raining.
894
3100222
2502
51:43
So I decided to to do a live stream instead.
895
3103308
3370
51:46
I hope it was good for you.
896
3106912
3120
51:50
Thank you very much for your company.
897
3110882
2186
51:53
It's very nice to see you here.
898
3113068
1835
51:54
So many people here today.
899
3114903
1852
51:56
Joining me, even though,
900
3116755
2336
51:59
I wasn't planning to do a live stream today.
901
3119091
3787
52:02
So here I am.
902
3122878
2502
52:06
If you missed this, you can watch it again.
903
3126231
3253
52:09
When YouTube has processed this video, you will be able
904
3129868
4855
52:14
to watch this again with captions as well.
905
3134723
3537
52:18
So look out for that.
906
3138710
1351
52:21
Josep says you can sing
907
3141529
2503
52:24
in the rain, especially when there is a serious drought.
908
3144382
3988
52:28
Well, there are of course a lot of people who are waiting
909
3148853
3220
52:32
for the rain to arrive.
910
3152640
1969
52:34
Sometimes you get too much rain
911
3154609
2503
52:37
and sometimes you get too little.
912
3157262
2502
52:40
If I was honest with you,
913
3160915
2503
52:43
I would say that this year we have definitely
914
3163685
3170
52:47
had too much rain.
915
3167422
2252
52:49
It's been a very wet year so far
916
3169674
2853
52:53
here in England.
917
3173061
2502
52:56
Thank you very much for your company.
918
3176214
2169
52:58
Thank you for joining me.
919
3178383
1818
53:00
Thank you very much.
920
3180201
3270
53:05
It's been nice being here with you, and it's
921
3185039
2419
53:07
been a good way of spending the time away from the rain.
922
3187458
5322
53:13
So I have to say I think it's been very, very useful indeed.
923
3193114
4021
53:17
Thank you for your company.
924
3197668
1502
53:19
I will see you on Sunday.
925
3199170
2219
53:21
We are back on Sunday.
926
3201389
1802
53:23
Normal live stream.
927
3203191
2102
53:25
I will be here.
928
3205293
1218
53:26
Mr. Steve will be here as well, and we will be sharing
929
3206511
3520
53:30
some time with you as well.
930
3210481
3170
53:36
Mr. Duncan
931
3216804
701
53:37
Shakespeare wrote when sorrows come,
932
3217505
2486
53:40
they come not single spies, but in battalions.
933
3220257
4205
53:44
Yes, I think that's a very similar thing.
934
3224462
2569
53:47
So when one thing comes, quite often
935
3227515
3069
53:50
it will come in a large quantity
936
3230818
2502
53:53
over a large number.
937
3233421
2502
53:56
What a great way of ending
938
3236540
1452
53:57
today's live stream with a little bit of Shakespeare.
939
3237992
2786
54:01
Thank you very much.
940
3241145
1168
54:02
See you on Sunday.
941
3242313
1134
54:03
Take care and of course,
942
3243447
2586
54:06
until the next time we meet here, you know what's coming next.
943
3246033
3620
54:09
Yes, you do.
944
3249653
1468
54:11
Enjoy the rest of your day.
945
3251121
1986
54:13
Enjoy everything that is happening in your life.
946
3253107
3787
54:17
Enjoy all of it.
947
3257211
2502
54:19
In fact.
948
3259730
2169
54:21
Oh. Oh, dear.
949
3261899
2502
54:25
It started to rain again.
950
3265919
2503
54:28
And of course, until the next time we meet here,
951
3268939
2469
54:31
you know what's coming next. Yes, you do.
952
3271408
1769
54:34
Take care of yourselves.
953
3274261
1401
54:35
Stay dry.
954
3275662
1585
54:41
Ta ta for now.
955
3281001
1869
54:42
See you on Sunday.
