It's English Late and Live - Laughter is the best medicine - 2nd is Penicillin -18th July 2018

Oh mr. Steve why did you have to go out tonight I have to do the live stream all

by myself wait a minute I'm all by myself mr. Steve isn't here that means I

can do whatever I want

I'm mr. Steve I own a nine-year-old Mercedes Benz

I think I own the road everyone else is a dangerous driver

except for me

there is a very interesting expression in English that goes while the cat is

away the mice will play this expression means whilst the boss or manager or

supervisor is absent those below them will do whatever they want they will do

whatever they please that is to say they will create some mischief whilst the

person in charge is absent while the cat is away the mice will play in this case

the cat is mr. Steve are you ready for some mischief I really really hope so

because it's just after 10 o'clock here in the UK it's a Wednesday night

and this is late and live English

give me an E give me an N give me a G give me an L give me an I oh I can't

be bothered to do the rest here we go again

hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today

are you okay I hope so are you happy are you

hahahahaha happy I really really hope so now you may have noticed at the start of

today's live stream I was feeling a little sad and quite lonely because mr.

Steve isn't here tonight ah I know I know there are many people out there who

are missing mr. Steve sadly he isn't here tonight but there is some light at

the end of the tunnel there is a glimmer of hope that we might see mr. Steve live

towards the end of tonight's live stream in case just in case he returns before I

finish so there is a very slim chance a very slim chance that mr. Steve will

join us towards the end of the live stream but all that remains to be seen

so here we go it is Wednesday late and live it's the 18th of July we are now

just over halfway through July and also the year can you believe it we are now

halfway through 2018 I don't know about you but I think the last six months have

gone by so fast and my birthday is also coming up so I will be feeling very very

old in a roundabout four weeks time when my birthday arrives once more and of

course we will be broadcasting live on my birth

they because it will be on a Sunday so yes I will be with you live on Sunday

for those who are wondering when I am doing this the thing you are watching

right now live English every Sunday 2 p.m. UK time and Here I am now to prove

it every Wednesday 10 p.m. UK time live from England

I still get many people writing to me asking mr. Duncan where are you I am in

England the birthplace this is where the English language started this is the

birthplace of the English language it's true I'm often asked mr. Duncan how many

words are there in the English language how many words are there so right now

I'm going to add all of the words that exist in the English language I'm going

to add them all together so just a moment so here we go ok so we've got the

verbs the nouns the adjectives pronouns

divided by 3 add 2 phonetics that did it ok so the answer is how many words are

there in the English language according to my calculator there are a lot there

are a lot of words in the English language it's true so it's late in life

I hope you are well and happy oh I had such a lovely weekend celebrating my

second live stream and of course lots of things taking place on Sunday I had a

lovely video made for me as well to celebrate my second anniversary of doing

live streams we might show it again because there are some people who did

actually miss the livestream on Sunday I don't know how or why because I am here

every single Sunday and every single Wednesday so there is no excuse for not

knowing when I'm on Oh half an hour ago we had the most amazing sunset would you

like to see tonight's sunset here it is there it is

right now on your screen there is the sunset that occurred around about half

an hour ago so I decided to film it from my window and there it is the Sun going

down what a beautiful sight and sometimes I don't know about you but

I've noticed that sometimes the sunset isn't that interesting it doesn't look

that spectacular however tonight's looked amazing the Sun

looked very large in the sky and everything was golden and as you can see

you can see actually the Sun setting behind the hills in the distance so we

had the most amazing sunset tonight and well you don't need me to tell you that

I love nature and I love natural events and sunsets happen to be one of my

all-time favorite events in nature apart from birds hatching out so when the

birds hatch out of their eggs and when they take their first flight that is

also a natural event that I I like to observe although those particular events

are not easy to find or catch however sunsets happen more often and so they

are much easier to capture and there you can see tonight's sunset I don't think

we'll have the whole sunset because it's another two minutes and I'm sure people

will start tuning away I think so so there it is

tonight sunset and I know that some people like to see the sunset we'll be

taking a look at the spiders in a moment because I have been asked about the

spiders so I've set my little camera up in the other room and we will have a

look at the spiders don't worry we won't get too close but we will just take a

look at them for a few moments so that coming up as a little warning for those

who don't like spiders but really they're quite harmless because they're

in glass boxes however they will give you quite a nasty bite the live chat is

also up in running hello to the live chatters tonight Oh many people on the

live chat let's have a look let's see who is on the live chat tonight oh by

the way I hope we don't have the same problem that we had on Sunday where my

my internet connection was cut off I still think it's YouTube I just I still

believe that it was YouTube's fault Sheeran is first on the live chat

tonight hello Sheeran nice to see you all so go

SIA Mina Belarus Sierra's here hello Belarusian

nice to see you here tonight very good to see you

hello mr. Duncan hello classmates it is Belarussians birthday today oh happy

birthday Bella Rusia happy birthday for your special special day so I suppose I

should say something special shouldn't I really I think so so I suppose I should

say something like it's your birthday yes today it's your birthday

hip-hip-hooray happy birthday Bella Rusia and I hope you have a super-duper

day and did you get many presents did you get something nice for your birthday

I hope so back to the live chat Meena is talking

about the World Cup yes that seems such a long time ago now the World Cup

seems like weeks and weeks ago but it was only last weekend

so yes France won the World Cup well done to France congratulations no hard

feelings Pedro is here hello Pedro Belmont and

Pedro wishes to say best best wishes to Belarusian that's very kind of you

hey mr. Duncan has Nima's here hello Tasnim nice to see you in the live chat

we are live from England right now it's 17 minutes past 10 o'clock at night I'm

covered with flour at the moment because I've been cooking oh I see you've been

very very busy in the kitchen so why are you making your own birthday cake is

that what's happening Hamza says the cat's away and the mice will play yes

that is what I'm doing tonight because mr. Steve isn't here so I can do

anything I want anything CAD Khadija is here hello yes we are very happy I'm

glad to hear that it is a happy day I hope you are happy

where you are open-minded open-hearted says yes I am too happy and I'm full of

beans really well that means you are feeling very lively indeed I'm very

pleased to hear that we love your t-shirt it is great thank you Alex for

that hello it is time to learn English yes it is if you want to improve your

listening skills if you want to improve the way you understand English then you

are now in the right place it is live English sadly there is no mr. Steve

Eve tonight unfortunately hi mr. Duncan I was studying phrasal verbs but it it

is so difficult well there are quite a few phrasal verbs there are many in the

English language Francisco says hi everybody from Spain we like the sunset

it is great great picture Thank You Palmyra for that Sergio is here hello

Sergio nice to see you as well wow so many people on the live chat tonight I

will try to include everyone sometimes I do miss people out on the live chat but

if I do I I certainly apologize because sometimes

I miss you out but purely by accident purely by accident so don't worry I

don't do it on purpose honestly so the live chat is now up to

date we have caught up did you expect France to actually win the World Cup

asks Tasnim well France were the favorite to win so I remember a few

weeks ago when people on the TV some of the sports commentators they were

talking about who might win the World Cup and they said that France were in

the lead so it looked as if France were very very very much the favorite to win

the World Cup I love your way of talking mr. Duncan Thank You hasna for that I

try my best and that's all anyone can do I received a very interesting message

today Pedro Belmont are you watching I hope so

because Pedro sent me a recording that he made and he's asked if it would be

okay for me to play it tonight on the live stream so here we go we're going to

listen to this together so Pedro he comes here is the special message from

Pedro Belmont hi mister danke this is Pedro Belmont from Brazil Manaus

I'm here because I'd like Jewish congratulations for your for your second

anniversary doing live stream on YouTube I must admit I've been learning a lot

with you and with mr. Steve as well your creativity and the way you teach English

is awesome is amazing I don't have words for express my gratitude for everything

you have been done for for us so a gamester duncan congratulation for your

excellent work i'd like to ask a question for you how about my English

how about my accent and my pronunciation I remember when I sent that video for

you my English was very bad was very awful I looked like a hobo a robo speak

English so I want to know if I have been done improvement send it a big hug for

mr. Steve and for the other students here in my name I hope you have an

excellent day with happiness and the many good things for you and for mr.

Steve so ta ta for now and they say you see you in the class

bye bye kiss and hugs bye bye Pedro thank you very much for your message

well I must say from the last time you sent a message to me I can tell that

your English has improved now before when you send the message you were very

hesitant you you were thinking too much about what you were going to say but on

the recording that you sent me today you sound a lot more confident so I don't

think you say like a robot I think it's very clear so

it's very clear very precise and of course you still have a slight accent

but there's nothing wrong with that so some people do really get quite upset

about their accents but everyone has an accent I have an accent when I speak

English here in the UK lots and lots of people have accents when they speak

English so the fact that you have an accent is nothing to worry about so

don't worry about it a lot of people spend too much time worrying about how

they sound is the most important thing the most important thing of all is that

you can be understood and I understood what you said and that's it that's all

you really want so there are one or two things but mainly we are talking about

grammar and some of the words that you use for example you don't look like

something when you hear you hear something so you sound like something so

when you're listening to something we can say that you sound like something

not you look like something because looking is visual listening is going in

your ears so when we hear something we can say we sound like I sound like you

sound like you are upset that means I can hear from the way you speak that you

don't sound happy so that is just an example of how to use it so there thank

you very much Pedro and if anyone else out there wants to send a recording in

well here is my email address let me just put it up on the screen because a

lot of people don't know that I have an email address it's true and there it is

right now going across the screen

and also I have a Facebook page as well and you can contact me via my email or

of course you can join me on Facebook where you will find out lots and lots

about my upcoming live streams and of course you can personally say hello as

well on Facebook or as I said before via email and if you want to send something

to me maybe a little message maybe you want to record your voice or maybe you

want to make a video you are more than welcome to do so don't make it too long

about maybe two minutes and I will play it on one of my live streams how does

that sound and if you would like my opinion as to

how you sound when you are speaking English then feel free to ask absolutely

no problem so now you know the email address there is no excuse for not

knowing it I've had some questions about the Spyders people asking how are your

spiders are they okay well yes they are fine I'm still looking after them for my

friend I think he will be coming soon to collect them I hope so anyway so here

are the spiders you can see there are three spiders in glass boxes and you can

see the one on the end and the one on the other end but the one in the middle

has gone to sleep he's having a sleep and if you look at the small box on top

you can see that there are some little insects inside which I have to feed to

the spiders and I hate doing it I really hate doing it so I can't wait until our

friend comes to collect his giant tarantulas and the other night the other

night I could hear a strange sound coming through one of the glass boxes

and and one of the spiders was trying to scrape out of the box I could actually

hear the spider's fangs fangs scraping on the top of the box he was trying to

get out so there they are the spiders they are safe and well I wish I could

say the same thing about the crickets unfortunately the outlook for them isn't

so good unfortunately I'm sure I'll get a lot of complaints now about that mr.

Duncan how could you feed insects to the spiders I have no choice if I don't do

it the spiders will die and then I think my friend will be very very angry back

to the live chat what is going on oh my goodness Pedro we can understand what

you said and that is the most important thing ana you are absolutely right so

there you see you see Pedro everyone thinks that your English is

good and I certainly think that it has improved Aurora also says great Pedro

congratulations I like your accent so yes Taz NIEM says the same thing as I

did earlier on yes everyone has an accent I have an accent even the Queen

of England has an accent Reder says Oh sir

it's Gmail not Y mail no it's Y mail I have Y mail it is yahoo

mail so yes I am right I do know my own email address it is it is y mail it

stands for yahoo mail so yes it is right I know that

and a Rita I I totally agree with you so Pedro Pedro agrees with Ana that's good

I could I could not see the spiders it is so terrible they are a bit creepy but

I've had them for about six weeks now and I've got quite used to them to be

honest I don't even think about it Mohammad Abdu says I don't like spiders

well nor do i I don't like spiders in fact I don't know why I even agreed to

look after them I blame Steve it's his fault

it's mr. Steve's fault okay so let's all blame mr. Steve because he's not here to

answer back khadijah says can you mr. Duncan do as a video about tips for

beginners of English because the first time that I see your channel Oh

khadijah thank you thank you for that and welcome well most of my videos do

have the words underneath you can actually see the words under the video

the important is connecting not perfection

yes Aurora you are correct as long as people can understand what you are

saying that is the most important thing red ow what is the difference between

should have would have and could have I'm sure I answered this question

recently well should have is something that didn't happen but should have

happened would have is something that might would have happened if the

circumstances had been right I would have come yesterday but it was raining

and could have well again could have can be the possibility of having

something so you could have tomorrow off if you want don't give up Aurora

it's a phrasal verb give up give up don't give up Thank You Pedro for that

encouraging advice who gets spiders for pets well some

people do I must admit I'm not a big fan of keeping animals in cages or boxes to

be honest but some people like to keep animals I'm not a big fan of it myself

personally I will be glad to see the spiders go to be honest now how it says

I like your lesson so much thank you very much

Tezz neem like there are thousands of other better pets to actually get yes

you could have you could have a mouse or maybe you could have a goldfish or

perhaps you could have a rabbit as a pet some people do have rabbits as pets you

could also have maybe a dog now dogs are very popular at the moment here in the

UK many many people have got dogs I don't have a dog

I don't have any pets unless of course you count mr. Steve I think mr. Steve

might be might be my pet I think so I

just drinking some water because my throat is very dry in here it's very dry

tonight you've had another hot day here in the UK open minded open-hearted by

email I'm not sure what that means I'm sure it means something to someone

that's it mice are disgusting well some people

like to keep mice it is interesting how the tastes of people vary so one person

like spiders another person doesn't like spiders so it's very interesting when

you look around that some people like one thing whilst other people dislike

the same thing so some people like to keep spiders whilst others are

completely afraid of spiders and they would never go near them so there is a

difference some people like to keep a cat in their house whilst some people

hate cats so it's very strange isn't it very

strange how the world works sometimes thank you very much for your learning

thank you caddie Khadija I have a cat and a tortoise a tortoise well I suppose

tortoises are very easy to keep because they don't move very fast now I I used

to have a tortoise when I was a child and what we used to do to stop it from

running away we actually made a little hole at the back in the shell and tied a

piece of string to it so that so the tortoise couldn't run away because

sometimes they would disappear so what we did we tied a little piece of string

to the tour toys and then when it moved around the piece

of string would stop it from going too far I'm sure I'll get complaints about

that as well spiders are disgusting says Pedro if you

really got if you really like animals you should wish them to be free yes

Sahra I agree but sadly I can't let the tarantulas go into the garden for two

reasons one I think it would scare the neighbours and two they wouldn't survive

they would die quite quickly in this environment so I have no choice and my

friend has asked me he said Duncan Steve can you look after my tarantulas so

that's what I've done and that's the reason why there are three tarantulas

now in my house but I'm really looking forward to getting rid of them to be

honest so hopefully they will be gone soon I'm hoping so anyway we had a

little celebration at the weekend didn't we yes we had a little celebration

because it was my second anniversary of doing the live streams and I had the

most amazing video sent to me by some of my lovely online students and for those

who missed it on Sunday here it is again

hi mr. Duncan how are you today are you okay I hope so are you happy I

hope so congratulations on your second anniversary English live stream on

YouTube you have helped so many people to learn English I have just follow your

channel for just about a year but I am amazed by its content your videos are so

informative amazing and educational with excellent quality you and mrs. Steve are

so clever and fun I love your live stream it gave me the opportunities to

practise listening and writing in English I love you gardened and the

amazing view from your window as well thank you so much for your effort and I

hope you keep on producing more videos that's all for me you know what's coming

next just have for now

you

dip dip dip do oh yes it is a Wednesday night and look out the window you can

see the sun has definitely gone now we had the most glorious sunset about an

hour ago really really wonderful sunset but now

the Sun has gone and night time has arrived because of course it is 19

minutes away from 11 o'clock at night here in the UK so it is quite late to be

honest and this is late in life with me mr. Duncan and I hope you are okay and

super duper thank you so much once again I was really moved

I was quite emotional on Sunday when I was talking about the actual messages

that I received my second anniversary of livestream so thank you very much and

don't forget if it wasn't for you being there watching me I wouldn't be here

doing it so I suppose I have you to thank for

that so here we go it is Wednesday night and I've been told not to show the

spiders anymore so we won't be seeing the spiders anymore here's something I'm

going to ask you about now do you ever find yourself in a situation where

suddenly you feel hungry what do you do what is the first thing you go for what

is the thing that you often eat as a quick snack so is there something that

you always go for or something that you always go to get maybe from the kitchen

maybe in the refrigerator or in the cupboard so is there something that you

like to grab when you want to eat something very quickly and there are

many many things that you could actually choose tonight I had my all-time

favourite quick meal can you guess what it is

and what is yours so when you feel hungry when you want to have a very

quick snack or you want to eat something in a hurry what do you eat what do you

have so what is the thing that you grab when you want to eat something very

quickly is it something healthy or is it something not so healthy if you remember

on Sunday we were talking about my ever growing stomach because my stomach is

getting larger due to the fact that I've been eating quite a lot of chocolate

recently as mr. Steve was very very keen to point out on Sunday so when you feel

hungry what do you grab do you grab something from the cupboard or from the

fridge so let's have a look shall we and I will reveal my my favorite snack a

little bit later on oh thank you Ricardo Ricardo says you

are very funny oh thank you very much well I try my best you know what you

know what they say laughter laughter is the best medicine that's what they say

laughter is the best medicine by the way mr. Duncan do you watch any British

youtubers now that is a very interesting question I do watch many things on

YouTube so I don't just make videos on YouTube

I don't just present live streams I also watch a lot of content on YouTube a lot

of the things that have been posted by other people

there aren't many famous British youtubers to be honest and certainly

when it comes to teaching English I think I'm I'm one of very few in the UK

there are many in other countries such as the United States and Canada and

other parts of Europe as well but here in the UK there aren't that many there

aren't very many to be honest and don't forget I am the first British

person to ever teach English on YouTube it's true this is the coolest English

Channel in the world Thank You Pedro you are very kind well the wonderful thing

about this is that you can join in and you can add things live so I think

that's one of the best things about doing a livestream is you can do it live

and also you can involve other people as well Ricardo says happy birthday from

bornus Aires so I think Ricardo is saying happy birthday to Belarusian oh

hello mica mica is here watching in Japan hi I've finished my morning chores

and as soon as I and soon after I joined you I found my face on the screen I was

very surprised yes well you were very very much involved with the special

video that I received so thank you very much mica for your greetings as well I I

do appreciate it congratulations for your second

streaming video or my second streaming year we hope to continue for a really

long time yes me too frankly speaking I follow your videos

and I feel that my English has become more strengthened well I'm glad to hear

that don't forget listening is a very

important skill and the more you listen to English the more you immerse yourself

if you immerse yourself it means you get deeply connected with something so you

can be immersed in English so try to make English something that you learn

every day try to learn new words every day as well did you eat any chocolate do

you mean today no I haven't eaten any chocolate today

when I want to eat something in a hurry I will grab some fruit all sorts of

fruit I think you are very similar to mr. Steve because mr. Steve if if he

feels hungry he will often grab a banana so quite often he will eat a banana we

also have some healthy snacks as well that mr. Steve likes and also I like as

well yes I look like a child because I love biscuits and I normally eat them

every day I see well biscuits are very convenient quite

often when we want to eat something in a hurry

we will quite often grab something that is convenient and quite often convenient

food can also be very very unhealthy Palmira I've heard a new word hangry oh

yes if you are hangry that means you feel annoyed because you

are hungry so it is actually the combination of two words it is the

combination of hungry and angry so if you combine those words you get hangry

if I remember right I think that that is now in the English dictionary as well

mr. Duncan I am waiting for my examination results Oh hasna hasna I

hope they they turn out well I will keep my fingers and my toes crossed for you

Alice to be honest when I'm hungry and angry

I have chips now when you say chips do you mean chips like potato crisps or do

you mean chips as in Isis of fried potato so there is a

difference so in British English when we say chips

we mean pieces of potato that have been fried but they are very big pieces of

potato and you fry them and quite often people will eat fish and chips but in

the United States when they say chips they actually mean

crisps so crisps are the crunchy things they are very thin and they have many

different flavors of chips or crisps so there is a difference between those

words and they can be used in different ways

oh we have someone in the UK hello - millet hi MLAT I can see you on the live

chat watching in Derby hello to you I like to eat fruit says Belarusian when I

feel hungry Sergio says I never have breakfast so then my stomach will sleep

until lunch it's amazing how many people don't have breakfast sometimes I don't

especially if I have lots of things to do I will sometimes skip breakfast I

won't have my breakfast Alex says I used to eat Snickers

Snickers at a type of chocolate bar with peanuts inside and also drink coffee but

now I prefer something made of meat oh I see something with a bit more nutrition

when I feel hungry I have some nuts yes Mika that's a good idea something you

can grab something very convenient that you can grab and eat especially when you

are on the go on the go if you are on the go

means you are doing things whilst moving around so maybe you're traveling from

one place to another in your job you are on the go and sometimes it's very hard

to get something to eat when you are on the go millet yes I can see you are

watching in Derby and also parven is here

hello Parvin watching in London I I know I have quite a few people watching in

London and around the UK Sharon says I forgot to say hello from Egypt well I

will say hello to you anyway so hello Sharon watching in Egypt mr. Duncan

please tell me what is on your t-shirt it does not appear clearly you want to

see my t-shirt okay then there it is it is my t-shirt I I wore this today

because it has it has a cat on the front you see a tiger and at the start of

today's livestream I talked about an expression that has cat in it so there

we go and it's a tiger saying I'm great can you see it I'm great so there it is

the problem with doing something on camera is quite often it's reversed so

when you look at yourself on the screen it's the wrong way around so that's why

when you want to point that way you point that way and when you want to

point that way you point that way because everything is reversed it's very

confusing so there is my t-shirt I hope you like it

hello from Morocco oh hello Morocco calling Morocco can you hear me

ich hammer is here Ricardo

hello from Turkey Oh Turkey when I feel hungry I like to eat kebab oh yes I

remember when I was in Turkey I saw lots of places selling kebab kebab can Kazan

Kazan Chi Oh Kazan she thank you very much for your message from Turkey what

is the difference between noodles and spaghetti well there are certain

differences but quite often the difference is the way they're served the

difference is the way in which they are served so noodles are often served dry

whilst spaghetti is often served with sauce or meat and sauce Parveen I am

your student since 2011 Wow so seven years Parveen has been watching

amazing really you are a tiger you are great by all means thank you open-minded

that's very kind of you to say so I saw something quite amazing last week

and this is something that I wanted to show you on Sunday but I didn't have

chance because we had a very busy lively discussion on Sunday did you see it mr.

Steve was getting very excited and at one point we were arguing with each

other it just happened sometimes we do

sometimes argue it's true and I saw something amazing in the sky now this is

something that I've never seen before ever so imagine seeing this right above

your house can you see now at first I thought there were Birds

but then I realized that they weren't birds they were actually small gliders

they are actually planes small light aircraft so you can see there are lots

of them flying around in the sky and this was right above my house so I

grabbed my camera and I tried to film some of the gliders glider so a glider

is a type of airplane that has no engine it just uses the jet stream and the air

current to fly just like a bird so there were lots of gliders in the sky above my

house I was quite amazed to see them there and this happened last week but

look there are so many of them and the amazing thing is none of them crashed

into each other I don't know how they did it but I thought that was amazing

I've never ever seen anything like this and this was right above my head as I

was standing in the garden and as I was filming more and more planes arrived so

the planes you can see are called gliders gliders look it looks as if

they're going to hit each other but they don't to hear me so that was something I

saw last week and there are a couple of places nearby quite close to where I

live there are a couple of airfields where planes take off and land so that

is where these particular gliders came from so there you can see in the

distance it is going away and there is a nice close-up shot so there you can see

the detail of the glider and there you can see there is there are normally two

people sitting inside but would you like to go up in one of

those would you ever have the nerve to go up in one of those I know my answer

already my answer is no no I wouldn't I would never ever go up in one of those

and that's it the end of my display as the final glider comes around to say

goodbye bye-bye gliders bye bye

so there's an unusual sight something very strange

back to the live stream ah there you are did you enjoy that something slightly

different one of the things I love about living around here is you never know

what you're going to see next you never know what you are going to see next the

live chat is very busy I am asking questions when you want something to eat

and you want to eat it in a hurry what do you normally grab

if I made a song in English will this improve my English well listening to

music and also composing or writing your own music with words is a very good way

to improve your English yes I agree with you I think it is a good idea so yes I

would say go for it do it give it a try you're talking way is really cool keep

going thank you arch for that yes I have been teaching English on YouTube for

over 11 years I started doing this way back in 2006 how do the gliders not

crash into each other I know I don't know how it was amazing I've never seen

anything like it I I thought how do they how do they

avoid each other it was incredible Alice says were those gliders

remote-controlled no no there are people inside them flying them but they have no

engines may you tell us the exact meaning of gliders well a glider is a

type of plane that flies without engines so to glide is to move naturally you

move naturally you can glide on air

gliders normally have very large wingspan

yes Carrodus you are right so normally the the center of the glider is very

narrow and the wings are very wide you are right and they are normally made

from very light material I think they're made from carbon fiber if I remember

rightly all fiberglass Mohamad I think the gliders have long wings they

certainly do and and they look amazing normally when I want to grab something

to eat in a hurry can you guess I like oh it was amazing

popcorn oh yes I love popcorn but you know nowadays it's so hard to get good

popcorn I remember growing up I know I'm going to sound like an old man now but I

remember growing up I used to eat popcorn all the time

and it was always gorgeous and fluffy and light and sometimes they would put

sort of honey or caramel on the outside of the popcorn and it was delicious but

nowadays I don't know why maybe it's me maybe I'm just old-fashioned but I think

popcorn nowadays isn't very good it's it's horrible it has no taste in fact it

has no flavor whatsoever those gliders are like drones well they're not really

the same is drones for two reasons one they can't travel very far and two they

are not used for military purposes yes the gliders look like a flock of birds

that's what I thought when I first saw them in the sky I actually thought that

I was watching a flock of birds it is yes it's true I make popcorn at home

says parven ah yes you can make your own popcorn but nowadays I think popcorn is

dreadful especially when you go to the cinema I remember the last time I went

to the cinema I bought a bucket of popcorn and you know you put your hand

in and you eat the popcorn and the first thing I noticed was how soft the popcorn

was it wasn't crunchy I like the popcorn to be crunchy

and it just had no flavor horrible I didn't like the popcorn at all so

old-fashioned popcorn is what I like in Egypt we eat eat popcorn salty yes you

can get the same thing here if you go to the cinema and you get some cop popcorn

name what they normally put salt they normally put salt all over your popcorn

I don't think I don't really like that I like my popcorn sweet and sugary no

surprises there I suppose Monsanto Jeanette Monsanto corn is

genetically modified is it really I don't know about that I wouldn't know

about that particular thing popcorn is prepared in the microwave and so they

are not as good as the ones made in the traditional way Thank You Carlos I read

your message just before you deleted it I don't know why you deleted it it's

quite a good point mr. Duncan can use can you say that I separated my job last

year asks a sad you don't say that you separated your job it depends really

what you've done do you mean that you left your job so if you stopped working

for someone we can say that you left your job last year you left your job

that means that you stopped working for those people so yes you can say I left

my job last year of course if you have no choice we can say that you lost your

job so if you have lost your job that means someone else has told you that you

can't work there anymore they have said we don't need you to work here anymore

we will say that we have lost our job oh dear open-minded says when I was hungry

I want to eat something in a hurry I prefer to eat I'm a rockin dish

especially couscous a lot of people like couscous nowadays it's very healthy it

is seen as a healthy snack Mohamed I try I I like to try your popcorn yes sweet

sugary popcorn as far as I'm concerned that's the only way to have popcorn

trust me sadly there is no mr. Steve tonight I'm very sorry about that a lot

of people are asking or they were asking during the week because mr. Steve did

say that he might be here but he isn't he isn't going to be here at all I'm

sorry about that I thought it'd be interesting to show you something from

around my studio something that I use quite often here is a very useful thing

a very useful thing that I use quite often in my studio especially when I

want to attach one thing to another so when I want to attach one thing to

another I will use this and this is called clamp a clamp so this is a clamp

clamp can you see it and in studios video studios or film studios you will

see many of these all around so this particular thing is a very useful item

it is a very useful tool to have around because with this you can attach one

thing to another very easily there you can see so now that is

attached and it is firmly attached so it won't move it won't move anywhere clamp

clamp to clamp is to hold on to something tightly so if you hold on to

something tightly you grab something tightly and you don't let go you clamp

you clamp so clamp can be used as a verb and also as a noun so this is called a

clamp and also you can clamp something for example if your car is parked in the

wrong place maybe you are parking illegally you are parking your car where

it shouldn't be the police will come along and they will put something on

your wheel so you can't drive away they will clamp your car a lot of people get

clamped so there you can see a very useful thing just to show how useful it

is you can actually attach anything to it so here we go I will show you now of

course it won't work now I'm on camera come on I knew this wouldn't go very

well I knew this would be a problem so there we go so there it is so you can

see now that we can clamp anything to anything in our studio and there it is

so you can clamp anything to anything with a clamp

so now on the end of there I can put a small light or a microphone or a very

light camera a very lightweight camera like a GoPro camera so they're they're

clamp a very useful thing especially around here in the studio I hope you

enjoyed that something different for a change

clamp yes Alice clamp Belarusian says I use clamps in dentistry ah yes you are

right yes we will often clamp something in dentistry and also in surgery so if

you are having an operation on your body and they have to cut your body open they

will normally clamp clamp maybe clamp the skin or maybe clamp the

organ if they are operating on a certain part of your body yes you are right

thank you very much for that Jamelia says I love popcorn Wow

we have some very varied subjects tonight radar says I saw that thing on a

microphone stand yes you will see clamps all over the place especially in studios

studios such as this Carrodus says there are many ways to use clamp in english

clamp down if you clamp down on something it means you harshly react to

something you clamp down you control something in a very aggressive way clamp

down hose clamp that is a type of fitting normally used on pipes and hoses

also cable clamp that is something for holding electrical cable in place wheel

clamp yes that's the thing I mentioned earlier so a wheel clamp is used to stop

a car from driving away so if you are parked illegally or in the wrong place

the policemen will come along and he will put a wheel clamp on your car and

normally they will find you as well you will have to pay a lot of money when I

need a fast meal I used to make I used to make a milkshake oh yes oh my

goodness I love milkshakes I must be honest I do like milkshakes very much

when I open owner banana and chocolate I like chocolate milkshakes

I don't like banana milkshakes but I do like chocolate milkshakes Carlos you are

making me feel very hungry now but what is my favorite snack does anyone know

can you name my favorite snack and I had it tonight

and it's something you can make very quickly if someone makes a noise

we should clamp our ears can we say that metaphorically yes you might clamp clamp

your ears but it's not it's not an expression that you will use very often

you don't normally clamp your ears

clamps hold his sit together oh thank you Jeff I saw what you did there I know

what you're up to yes I think Jeff is trying to introduce

the use of the word set into my live stream now look mister Steve isn't here

tonight there is no mr. Steve so it's only me

so I am 100% in charge pal Mira says Pizza ha yes did you see last week I was

eating pizza last week a week ago tonight so tonight a week ago last week

last Wednesday I was eating pizza right here because a week ago England lost do

you remember England were kicked out of the World Cup

they lost it seems such a long time ago now but it was only last week doesn't

time fly I misunderstood hungry and angry laughter is the best medicine

yes you're right Belarus here it is and once again happy birthday to you did you

have something nice today or do you want to keep it a secret when the police

arrest a thief he will clamp him he will actually cuff him not clamped so we

actually say cuff cuff I will write that down for you just give me a moment while

I unclamp I went to unclamp my pen so here we go the policeman when he catches

the thief he will cuff can you see that now cuff normal normally relates to

something around your wrists so the policeman will cut the thief so he can't

move his hands he will lock his hands together with two metal rings so we call

them handcuffs handcuffs so I will write that down for

you

hand cuffs so there is what they use they use that or they use a pair of

handcuffs to lock the prisoners hands together if they arrest someone they

will cut them cut them so cuff can be used as a noun to describe the object or

it can also be used to describe the action so you cuff someone I hope that

helps

kind of bird a very big bird and on the 12th of August the season for shooting
