my name is Duncan and I teach English on YouTube and I have been doing this for
21
291870
5370
04:57
over 10 years people can't believe it when I tell them but I have been on
22
297240
5609
05:02
YouTube I am one of the original youtubers it's true so over the years
23
302849
6421
05:09
many people who were on YouTube 10 years ago have now disappeared they have
24
309270
5790
05:15
vanished without trace but I am still here so it was way back in October 2006
25
315060
7289
05:22
when I started making these live well not live but recorded videos and then of
26
322349
6540
05:28
course last year I started doing my live streams so in total I am now into my
27
328889
7861
05:36
11th year can you believe it I'm coming up to my 11th year on YouTube I can't
28
336750
8729
05:45
believe it to be honest if you remember last week and I talked about some
29
345479
4711
05:50
television programs made here in Britain one in particular that I mentioned was
30
350190
6360
05:56
was this TV show thank you very much to all those who got in touch with me to
31
356550
5429
06:01
say that they did watch some episodes of dear ladies on YouTube apparently there
32
361979
8220
06:10
are some episodes of this comedy show on YouTube as I mentioned last week this
33
370199
7080
06:17
this particular program features two characters Dame Hilda brackets and
34
377279
6741
06:24
doctor evadne hinge but the thing is the two ladies are actually men pretending
35
384020
8470
06:32
to be ladies this is something that is very unique to British comedy very
36
392490
6030
06:38
unique to British humour men dressing up as ladies we call it drag so if you
37
398520
7920
06:46
dress up as a woman if you are a man and you
38
406440
2320
06:48
pretend to be a woman for entertainment purposes we call it drag now someone I
39
408760
7310
06:56
won't say who wrote and said mr. Duncan they asked a very interesting question
40
416070
7690
07:03
they asked mr. Duncan have you ever dressed up as a lady I have never done
41
423760
7530
07:11
it not that there's anything wrong with it
42
431290
2250
07:13
because some people do like to dress up his ladies for various reasons but to be
43
433540
5520
07:19
honest I've never done it I've never tried dressing up as a woman ever in my
44
439060
5850
07:24
life I can safely say that unlike mr. Steve that's all I'm going to say but I
45
444910
9780
07:34
have never dressed as a lady also I have some news because last week I mentioned
46
454690
5820
07:40
that my neighbor next door is selling his house so my neighbor is moving and
47
460510
7440
07:47
guess what the house has been sold so soon I will be getting a new neighbor
48
467950
7400
07:55
next door to me so now I and now I'm feeling very nervous I must admit I am
49
475350
7990
08:03
feeling quite worried because I don't know what the new neighbors will be like
50
483340
4350
08:07
will they be nice people will they be noisy people the only thing
51
487690
6030
08:13
I'm really dreading to be honest is that they have a dog I hope that my new
52
493720
7830
08:21
neighbor doesn't have a dog so that's the only thing I'm worried about because
53
501550
6600
08:28
many of the neighbors around here have dogs and sometimes they bark and bark
54
508150
5760
08:33
and bark for a very long time so I'm I'm hoping that my new neighbors will not
55
513910
6990
08:40
have a dog because dogs can be very annoying although having said that here
56
520900
8730
08:49
in the UK it is forbidden to say anything bad about dogs or dog owners
57
529630
7200
08:56
it's true I'm not kidding if you say anything bad about dog owners
58
536830
6290
09:03
you will be punished severely people will ignore you in the streets so I have
59
543120
8260
09:11
to be careful what I'm saying but I hope that my new neighbor does not have a dog
60
551380
4890
09:16
I hope so also on Friday I went to the dentist I
61
556270
6690
09:22
did I had to go to the dentist to have some treatment because apparently
62
562960
6290
09:29
according to my dental hygienist apparently I'm not taking care of my
63
569250
5380
09:34
back teeth and she punished me she gave me a telling-off she said yeah yeah
64
574630
7020
09:41
you're not taking care of your teeth you have to take more care of your teeth or
65
581650
5550
09:47
else they will fall out so my dental hygienist punished me on Friday she
66
587200
10730
09:57
didn't give me any sweets normally she gives me a big lollipop at the end of my
67
597930
6040
10:03
treatment but on Friday she did not give me one so I was very upset so from now
68
603970
7590
10:11

5890
26:36
I'm very patient I think I am I think I'm very patient with other people but
205
1596040
5700
26:41
sometimes people do annoy me sometimes sometimes people can be a pain in the
206
1601740
12510
26:54
ass or they can be a pain in the ass sometimes I'm sure we all know people
207
1614250
9690

who are sometimes annoying but I like to think that I'm a very patient person I
208
1623940
6390
27:10
can deal with most people the only thing I don't like when it
209
1630330
4799
27:15
comes to human behavior is unfairness I don't like it when people are unfair to
210
1635129
7530
27:22
other people so that that's probably my biggest hatred of human behavior is
211
1642659
6450
27:29
unfairness so when people are unfair to each other when they are mean or
212
1649109
5971
27:35
spiteful or if they treat others unequally that's when I tend to lose my

9920
29:26
sorry about that I hope my new neighbor doesn't have a dog

I don't mind cats cats are okay as long as they don't eat the birds in my garden
231
1772850
5760
29:38
that's the only thing I don't like about cats cats can be very cruel to the birds
232
1778610
7520
29:46
so that's the only thing I don't like about cats but dogs can be very annoying
233
1786130
5560

first of all they they bark all the time and also they have this annoying habit

1791690

30:51
neighbor to have a cat instead of a dog yes I I would prefer a cat rather than a
243
1851330
6690
30:58
dog because dogs can be very noisy cats don't make much noise but dogs do
244
1858020
6920
31:04
especially small dogs have you noticed the smaller the dog the more annoying
245
1864940
6450

with the Ghostbusters remake oh yes of course because they changed the
251
1903130
5290
31:48
characters in ghostbusters two women and some people didn't like that idea they
252
1908420
7320
31:55
they were not keen on it and last week here in the UK they
253
1915740
5190
32:00
announced that the new doctor who would be a woman some people were very upset
254
1920930
3990
32:04
they said we don't we don't want a woman to play Doctor Who where we want a man
255
1924920
6180
32:11
it's supposed to be a man whilst others were very excited about it so it just
256
1931100
7860

269
2024519
6961
33:51

2031480
5039
33:56
English number 12 well a big happy hello to you my name is mr. Duncan and I'm so
271
2036519
27320
34:23
pleased to see you here again for another full English lesson this is full
272
2063839
7000
34:30
English number 12 which means that I have now made a dozen episodes of full
273
2070839
6601
34:37
English a dozen of something is 12 half a dozen of something is six and two
274
2077440
9899
34:47
dozen of something is 24 do you know how many things make up a gross twelve dozen
275
2087339
7980
34:55
things is a gross which is 144 the word gross can also mean horrible or
276
2095319
10221
35:05
disgusting the way he picks his nose is so gross what's that Oh apparently we
277
2105540
10360
35:15
are now behind schedule so I'd better get on with today's full English lesson
278
2115900
4590
35:20
right now
279
2120490
6740
35:37
do you believe in fate do you see your life is being won controlled by fate
280
2137530
6700
35:44
the word fate means the course of a person's life or the events of someone's
281
2144230
5580
35:49
life that are out of their control fate means that what will happen will happen
282
2149810
6630
35:56
and there is nothing that can be done to stop it imagine your life being like a
283
2156440
5850
36:02
road all the things you will encounter and experience are already there
284
2162290
5610
36:07
waiting for you to meet them a predetermined outcome is fate some
285
2167900
6900
36:14
people believe that their life is already mapped out that their fate is
286
2174800
4740
36:19
already sealed of course there are those who believe the opposite and feel that
287
2179540
6000
36:25
life is something we determine for ourselves that each person has ultimate
288
2185540
5790
36:31
control of their own destiny sometimes an event or situation occurs that might
289
2191330
7260
36:38
appear fateful an inevitable event might seem faithful in English there is the
290
2198590
7110
36:45
phrase fate worse than death which means something that is really bad
291
2205700
5970
36:51
or something bad that is about to happen or has happened already do you believe
292
2211670
7860
36:59
in fate
293
2219530
2510
37:20
here is something that can come in very handy if you are out in the wilderness
294
2240540
6300
37:26
this is a piece of tree it's a stick a small piece of branch from a tree can be
295
2246840
7990
37:34
called a stick a length of branch that is not very heavy or thick can be called
296
2254830
5850
37:40
a stick you can use a stick to support yourself
297
2260680
4650
37:45
as you walk a large amount of sticks can be used to make a shelter or a raft to
298
2265330
9210
37:54
float on water you can use a stick as a weapon to defend yourself with and a
299
2274540
11640
38:06
stick makes a very good back scratcher oh yes a stick is a very useful thing
300
2286180
9360
38:15
indeed the word stick can also mean to fix two things together normally with
301
2295540
9030
38:24
glue you stick two things together as an idiom stick together means stay with
302
2304570
7620
38:32
each other whatever happens you and I will always
303
2312190
4740
38:36
stick together
304
2316930
3020
38:51
it's time now to take a look at another buzzword a buzzword is a phrase or
305
2331990
5470
38:57
sentence that is used a lot during a certain period or is generally popular
306
2337460
5630
39:03
today's buzzword is corrupt this is a word that seems to come around again and
307
2343090
8050
39:11
again the word corrupt means the action of being dishonest in return for money
308
2351140
6270
39:17
or personal gain a person with high authority might be found to be corrupt
309
2357410
6090
39:23
if he or she is giving preferential treatment to someone in return for money
310
2363500
6930
39:30
or favors you scratch my back and I will scratch yours if you give something to
311
2370430
9990
39:40
me then I will do something for you more often than not corruption does involve
312
2380420
6990
39:47
bribery taking place between powerful people bribery is the action of
313
2387410
6240
39:53
exchanging money for personal favors or gain corruption is the noun that names
314
2393650
7200
40:00
the act of being corrupt we will always describe a person involved in corruption
315
2400850
5280
40:06
as being corrupt a corrupt politician the official has been charged with
316
2406130
7530
40:13
corruption that person has accepted money or gifts in return for giving
317
2413660
5850
40:19
favors to someone that person is corruptible easily bored dissolute
318
2419510
9170
40:28
self-indulgent and morally depraved
319
2428680
5250
40:42
so there it was an excerpt from one of my full English lessons one of the
320
2442930
5970
40:48
subjects in there was being corrupt by the way just to clarify and make clear
321
2448900
10260
40:59
that the money that you saw in that video clip was not real it was actually
322
2459160
6449
41:05
fake money and I have some of the fake money here just to prove it
323
2465609
4111
41:09
so that was fake money it wasn't real money although it does look very real
324
2469720
4559
41:14
look at that now I wish that that was really a fifty pound note but it isn't
325
2474279
6000
41:20
it's not real it is fake you see it isn't real at all it's not real money so
326
2480279
11790
41:32
what would you do if you weren't lots of money what would you do with it that is
327
2492069
9871
41:41
one of the questions today if you win the lottery here it is the question what
328
2501940
5940
41:47
would you do if you won the lottery maybe the lottery might be for a
329
2507880
6919
41:54
thousand dollars or maybe a million dollars and do you think that money can
330
2514799
6040
42:00
buy happiness now some of you are asking what my opinion is well first of all if
331
2520839
6841
42:07
I won the lottery I would probably save some of it I would put it away for a
332
2527680
7770
42:15
rainy day so I wouldn't spend it all and I would probably give some of it away
333
2535450
5899
42:21
and now I know it sounds as if I'm just saying that but I actually would give
334
2541349
5411
42:26
some of the money away I would choose maybe two or three
335
2546760
5010
42:31
charities and give some of the money to them do you think that money can buy
336
2551770
6210
42:37
happiness my own opinion my personal opinion is yes and no money can buy
337
2557980
10950
42:48
happiness but the happiness is normally short-lived so maybe you go out maybe

you go shopping and buy some new clothes and then you get very excited when you
339
2576490
4140
43:00
get back home when you return home you think oh I've just bought some new

8070

happiness that money buys tends to be very short-lived it doesn't last for
343
2601420

4940
45:41
investing some of your money if you win the lottery is a good idea because
362
2741870
5350
45:47
that's exactly what I would do I would put some of it aside for for later on so

2747220
7520
45:54

Harry says mr. Duncan I will go to America and study and open a big gym
408
3088650
11510
51:40
gymnasium so that's what you would do if you win the lottery
409
3100160
4390
51:44
today's questions what would you do if you win the lottery what would you do
410
3104550
5880
51:50
what would you spend the money on and can money buy happiness do you think
411
3110430
7110
51:57
that if you have lots of money you can be happy now I have noticed over the
412
3117540
7020
52:04
years that there are many people who are famous and successful and very wealthy
413
3124560
7390
52:11
have lots and lots of money but they are still unhappy they still find it
414
3131950
5970
52:17
difficult to be happy or to find happiness so this is something that I've
415
3137920
5460
52:23
noticed from my my own experience of meeting people I do happen to have some
416
3143380
6180
52:29
friends I have some friends who are quite wealthy and sometimes they are
417
3149560
10019
52:39
quite miserable as well they are quite unhappy even though they
418
3159579
4891
52:44
have lots of money I always feel like slapping their face I always feel like
419
3164470
5310
52:49
saying oh come on you have lots of money cheer up think of all the people that
420
3169780
8400
52:58
have little a lot of people think I'm wealthy I'm not wealthy a lot of people
421
3178180
7050
53:05
think that I'm a millionaire but I can tell you now I can promise you now I am
422
3185230
4139
53:09
definitely not a millionaire definitely not a meme says mr. Duncan I would buy a
423
3189369
9841
53:19
horse if I won the lottery that's nice can you ride a horse though because
424
3199210
6859
53:26
riding a horse is very difficult it's not easy when I was young I had some
425
3206069
5561
53:31
friends who lived nearby and they had a couple of horses and now and again I
426
3211630
4530
53:36
would go to visit them and they would let me sit on their horse the first
427
3216160
5970
53:42
thing you notice when you get on a horse is that it's very high up suddenly you
428
3222130
5520
53:47
feel as if you are very high from the ground so yes if you do buy a horse
429
3227650
8070
53:55
please be careful because every year many people get injured on their horses
430
3235720
6480
54:02
I have a friend a lady and she has had two accidents on her horse too so
431
3242200
12540
54:14
IIIi don't think I will be getting on a horse
432
3254740
3030
54:17
very soon no definitely not but I hope I hope your your your dreams of buying a
433
3257770
6210
54:23
horse come true I mean and don't forget stay safe stay safe on your horse Andrew
434
3263980
9920
54:33
how did you guess what Sayid said to you I don't know I don't know what you mean
435
3273900
5890
54:39
by that sometimes all I see sometimes if I read someone's writing and maybe the
436
3279790
10559
54:50
English isn't very good I'm able to actually translate it and that's because
437
3290349
6481
54:56
I've been teaching English for many years so during my time in China I used
438
3296830
4980
55:01
to read lots and lots of essays and lots of book reports from my students and
439
3301810
7140
55:08
sometimes the English would be incorrect so over the years I have gained an
440
3308950
7560
55:16
ability to actually read things that are written in very very poor English so
441
3316510
6780
55:23
sometimes yes that does happen so that's how I was able to read what Sayid said
442
3323290
7170
55:30
thank you Andrew thank you Shira blade Shira blade is here thank you for
443
3330460
7980
55:38
joining me once again if I have a lot of money I would help children with cancer
444
3338440
7950
55:46
for their surgeries and that would make me happy thank you Simona for that a
445
3346390
5490
55:51
very good cause of course to to says if I won the lottery I would live in a
446
3351880
8430
56:00
beautiful country like yours oh you mean here you would like to come and live
447
3360310
5640
56:05
here in the UK who knows who knows what the future holds that's what I say
448
3365950
7700
56:13
Daria says I would invest money in my education and I think that no happiness
449
3373650
8260
56:21
can be bought with money but I agree that money makes life
450
3381910
6680
56:28
easier and more pleasant I think so I think most people would agree that
451
3388590
5460
56:34
having money makes your life easier but not necessarily happy I think so I think
452
3394050
9600
56:43
there is a line between those two things between having a life and having
453
3403650
7830
56:51
happiness I think happiness depends on the person there are lots of people who
454
3411480
8280
56:59
are poor but still happy and there are lots of rich people who are sad maybe
455
3419760
8670
57:08
you can answer that question if you look how ambitious and greedy is so yes
456
3428430
11190
57:19
people who have lots of money can very often be quite greedy quite mean with
457
3439620
8400
57:28
their money and sometimes you will find that people who have little money are
458
3448020
4860
57:32
very generous mr. Duncan I'm glad to see your program live welcome Hassan Hassan
459
3452880

7890
57:49

461
3469980
8490
57:58
will see my bird feeders and also you will see some bird food as well can you
462
3478470
6900
58:05
see the bird food and the Bulls are going past the back of my garden can you
463
3485370
6600
58:11
see at the very top of the picture if you look very carefully you can see the
464
3491970
5220
58:17
Bulls they are walking past they are walking by so let's go outside because
465
3497190
7980
58:25
if you look closely you can see that the bird feeders are empty there is no food
466
3505170
7620
58:32
in the bird feeders so I'm now going outside to put some food in the bird
467
3512790
7140
58:39
feeders first of all before I do that I have to
468
3519930
7730
58:47
put my rubber gloves on so here we go first of all I have to put my rubber
469
3527660
5110
58:52
gloves on look at this these are my these are my special rubber gloves do
470
3532770
6210
58:58
you like them let me just turn the sound up outside so now you should be able to
471
3538980
7980
59:06
hear the outside sound there are my rubber gloves because now I am going to
472
3546960
9810
59:16
fill the bird feeders with bird food so let's go outside shall we
473
3556770
10819
59:56
so here we are we are now live outside it is just after 3 o'clock and it's mr.
474
3596060
6240
60:02
Duncan live on YouTube how are you doing today just in case you have just clicked
475
3602300
6030
60:08
on my video link here I am live from England I'm in the garden now if you
476
3608330
7770
60:16
look behind me you can see there are some bird feeders at and sadly the bird
477
3616100
6900
60:23
feeders are empty at the moment there is no food in the bird feeders so I'm going
478
3623000
6600
60:29
to put some food in the bird feeders right now so my birds will be very happy
479
3629600
5640
60:35
I think they are very hungry today because there aren't many insects around
480
3635240
7250
60:45
so first of all we are going to put some peanuts in the peanut feeder so this is
481
3645730
8110
60:53
something that the birds love to eat they love to eat peanuts and the reason
482
3653840
5820
60:59
why is because peanuts are very high in fat and birds use energy very quickly so
483
3659660
8750
61:08
we need to put some peanuts out so the birds can feed on the peanuts they are
484
3668410
8290
61:16
full of essential energy
485
3676700
4070
61:41
so there we go some peanuts for the birds so I will now hang this on the
486
3701330
7290
61:48
bird feeder
487
3708620
2540
61:56
next we will put some seeds in this bird feeder it's a very large bird feeder so
488
3716160
8800
62:04
this particular feeder can hold a lot of seed
489
3724960
5990
62:21
this particular seed is called sunflower hearts so these are sunflower hearts
490
3741040
9210
62:30
they are the seeds of the sunflower that have been removed from their husks so I
491
3750250
9720
62:39
will put some of these into the big bird feeder
492
3759970
5720
63:09
so there we go the birdfeeder is now full and I can hang it next to the
493
3789130
6850
63:15
peanut feeder said ah
494
3795980
8660
63:29
we also have one of these this is a suet ball feeder so what you put in it here
495
3809400
9780
63:39
are suet balls can you see the suet balls there they are there are lots of
496
3819180
15450
63:54
them and these are made from fat so they are actually mostly fat and inside you
497
3834630
8610
64:03
might be able to see there are little tiny fragments of seed and also I think
498
3843240
7200
64:10
there are insects inside these suet balls so they are called suet balls or
499
3850440
7440
64:17
fat balls some people call them fat balls
500
3857880
5600
64:34
so there we are some suet balls in the suet ball feeder and finally before I go
501
3874160
16720
64:50
back inside I will put some seeds and some peanuts in the cage can you see the
502
3890880
7589
64:58
cage now this particular cage is not for capturing the birds so I don't keep the
503
3898469
11941
65:10
birds in here so the small birds can fly into the cage and then they can feed and
504
3910410
5730
65:16
then they can fly safely out so this particular cage allows the small birds
505
3916140
6679
65:22
to feed safely and it also keeps the big birds away
506

78:01
exchange rate we work this out by comparing the value of one currency with

78:07
another for example I can compare the UK pound with the US dollar
594
4687040
6420
78:13
right now the UK pound has more value so if I travel to the USA I will actually
595

78:20
get more money for each pound that I change into dollars however if I travel
596
4700570
5730
78:26
from the USA with dollars and change them into UK pounds then I will lose

612
4803170
7350
80:10
have enough of it so very often we must borrow it from the bank the bank will
613
4810520
5610
80:16
lend it to us this is called credit of course they will also charge us for this
614

81:02
have been spending much more money than they are actually earning in 2007 we saw
621
4862270
6540
81:08
the early signs of a problem in the way we all borrow and spend money it seemed
622
4868810
5760
81:14
as if the banks were becoming less willing to lend money to people as we
623
4874570
4500
81:19
all now know this has led to a big financial freeze or hold on giving
624
4879070
5610
81:24
credit we call this situation the credit crunch
625
4884680

all about the things in life that cost nothing those who have little or no
635

5909
87:04
people say complement or complement so generally speaking the pronunciation is
673
5224989
7741
87:12
the same so complement can be the amount of things that you have with you if you
674
5232730
5759
87:18
are going somewhere you need something to do something else you have a
675

course you can give a nice comment for someone so that is the other spelling of
677
5247969
7041
87:35
complement so if you say something nice to someone maybe you say something nice
678
5255010
6640
87:41
about their appearance you give them a compliment but generally speaking the
679
5261650
7589
87:49
pronunciation is the same Rafael Rafael says I need money to live not to be
680
5269239
9331
87:58
happy oh I see quite often money can be described as a
681
5278570
6570
88:05
necessity necessity something you need is a necessity that's great thank you
682
5285140
9360
88:14

88:22

9450
88:31

685
5311570
5400
88:36

686
5316970
4170
88:41
suppose it's possible isn't it I suppose you could do that Tatiana
687
5321140
6390
88:47
hello Tatiana thanks for joining me enjoy the lovely birds mr. Duncan they
688
5327530
6300
88:53
say thank you very much I think they do sometimes in the morning I can hear the
689
5333830
4980
88:58
birds tweeting and it sounds as if they are saying thank you mr. Duncan for
690
5338810
10290
89:09
giving us the food thank you very much
691
5349100
4040
89:13
talking of birds are there any birds in the garden at the moment now I happen to
692
5353680
8050
89:21
know that mr. Steve is outside somewhere at this very moment so I have a feeling
693
5361730
7860
89:29
that mr. Steve might be disturbing the birds
694
5369590
5150
89:38
so that might be the reason why there are no birds at the moment in the garden
695
5378210
5770
89:43
because I think mr. Steve is somewhere outside that might be the reason
696
5383980
7080
89:51
so today's questions what would you do if you won the lottery and can money buy
697
5391060
7410
89:58
you happiness I have noticed over the years I have met many people and I have
698
5398470
8310
90:06
found I found that a lot of people who have lots of money are quite unhappy
699
5406780
7070
90:13
they are quite miserable even hyung Dean says I would love to be a billionaire
700
5413850
11370
90:25
wow that's a lot of money a billion pounds could you imagine having a
701
5425220
6520
90:31

90:39
hello mr. Duncan I am pinnate from Thailand I think you were born to be an
703
5439300
6000
90:45
excellent teacher it seems that you can pick everything to be a teaching aid I
704
5445300
5160
90:50
think so well if you are in the classroom you can find all sorts of
705
5450460
5940
90:56
things to talk about so you don't have to just talk about grammar or
706
5456400
4410
91:00
pronunciation you could also use English to describe things or describe objects
707
5460810
7500
91:08
or to talk about certain subjects so I always think that practical English is
708
5468310
7040
91:15
very important it is very important in fact I would go as far as to say that
709
5475350
6160
91:21
practical English might be the most important part of learning the language
710
5481510
7190
91:28
Diego is here oh we are talking about dogs again because my neighbor has just
711

91:46

714
5512139

92:00

715
5520989
11250
92:12
annoying yes I always find that very small dogs have the most annoying bark I
716
5532239
6690
92:18
don't know why that is so very tiny dogs small dogs have have very annoying box
717
5538929
6931
92:25
and larger dogs their their box aren't so bad their barks are very low well
718
5545860
8670
92:34
well well well well well where is small dogs have very high box so that's that's

Nadia says if I had a lot of money I would buy a big house in Australia and I
723
5586860
7480
93:14
would live there and I would go out and jump with the Kangaroos every day
724
5594340
9619
93:23
Australia is a very beautiful country I know that many people would love to live
725
5603959
5921
93:29
in Australia and of course the history of Australia is heavily connected to
726
5609880
6690
93:36
this country to Great Britain a algol says I'm going to be sincere in this
727
5616570
9810
93:46
moment if I win the lottery I will buy tickets to Japan 2020 because the
728
5626380
6059
93:52
Olympic Games are being held in Japan in 2020 and I will stay in Japan for over a
729
5632439
9030
94:01
month we my family and 20 people I think so
730
5641469
4891
94:06
well between you and me I've always wanted to go to Japan Japan is a very
731
5646360
5520
94:11
fascinating country well ape ape Algol I hope your dream comes true mr. Duncan
732
5651880
9779
94:21
can you say some slang words for money yes there are many slang words as I
733
5661659
6270
94:27
mentioned in the lesson that you just watched
734
5667929
3691
94:31
there are many slang words such as dosh moolah cash greenbacks that's another
735
5671620
13110
94:44
one greenbacks we often use greenbacks to name dollars so it's often used in
736
5684730
6659
94:51
American English but there are lots and lots of slang words for money dough is
737
5691389
7411
94:58
another one dough do you have lots of dough do you have lots of money mr.
738
5698800
8730
95:07
Duncan we can see the word Moorish what does it mean I can see it written next
739
5707530
6390
95:13
to you ah okay then well-spotted yes there is a word there can you see it
740
5713920
5779
95:19
Moorish but what does it mean well I have some biscuits here some lovely
741
5719699
8081
95:27
biscuits I discovered these biscuits about a month ago and to be honest I am
742
5727780
7890
95:35
crazy about these biscuits I absolutely love them I normally buy around about
743
5735670
7980
95:43
three or four packets of these every week and can you see there are lovely
744
5743650
4560
95:48
lovely biscuits they are very dry very crunchy and they taste delicious so the
745
5748210
10080
95:58
word Moorish means something that you can't stop eating so if you eat one you
746
5758290
8639
96:06
have to eat another and then another and then another
747
5766929
8210
96:15
so you can describe these biscuits as very moreish something that you always
748
5775979
6930
96:22
want more of so if I have one biscuit normally I will have another biscuit
749
5782909
7290
96:30
afterwards and after that I will have maybe another biscuit as well so these
750
5790199
7320
96:37
biscuits are very moreish very moreish
751
5797519
10160
96:48
actually they are very moreish hmm I'm gonna have a little bit more now hmm
752
5808070
9669
96:57
lovely the only problem with biscuits is sometimes especially if your mouth is
753
5817739
11400
97:09
very dry it's very easy to choke on the biscuit mmm delicious Estella says I
754
5829139
11880
97:21
wouldn't like to be a billionaire
755
5841019
4131
97:25
because then I would have to be accompanied by guards everywhere I went
756
5845449
5760
97:31
that is true if you have a lot of money and if people find out that you have a
757
5851209
6220
97:37
lot of money then you might become a target for robbers or thieves it's true
758
5857429
7320
97:44
yes mr. Duncan I'd like to know how many pounds are needed to stay in England for
759
5864749
8790
97:53
10 days how many pounds are needed to stay in England for 10 days including
760
5873539
8281
98:01
hotel and food would 1,000 pounds be in earth no it would not know a thousand
761
5881820
10589
98:12
pounds will not be enough to stay in England for 10 days and especially if
762
5892409
8281
98:20
you are including the hotel price as well I think maybe the hotel might cost
763
5900690
6329
98:27
you a thousand pounds without anything else
764
5907019
3271
98:30
so it can be very expensive to stay in this country it depends where you are
765
5910290
5260
98:35
staying of course if you stay in London London is a very expensive place to stay
766
5915550
6110
98:41
but maybe if you're staying in another place or maybe if you are staying with
767
5921660
4990
98:46
friends perhaps it will be cheaper but can I just say now speaking frankly a
768
5926650
10490
98:57
thousand pounds will not go very far if you want to come and stay for ten days
769
5937140
6190
99:03
in England you will need slightly more than that Olga's says mr. Duncan
770
5943330
11280
99:14
can you spell Moorish please well there it is it's on the screen mor II I SH
771
5954610
8960
99:23
Moorish something is Moorish something that you can't stop eating you have to
772
5963570
7150
99:30
have more you can't stop eating something that you like the taste of
773
5970720
7580
99:38
they are very Moorish these biscuits are very moreish listen mr. Duncan I'm
774
5978300
11110
99:49
giving you a good example
775
5989410
3350
99:52
the singer Bob Marley died in 1981 with a wealth of thirty million dollars
776
5992850
10080
100:03
whereas his last words to his son before dying was money can't buy life so you
777
6003500
9370
100:12
see is that it is that the quote I feel as if there's some more that's missing
778
6012870
9110
100:21
what the main difference between the UK and American English there are some
779
6021980
5020
100:27
differences in the spelling there are some differences in the pronunciation
780
6027000
5630
100:32
but to be honest most English be it American English or British English is
781
6032630
7110
100:39
exactly the same there is only one on english-language are your biscuits
782
6039740
8979
100:48
salty mr. Duncan they are a little bit salty they are actually quite savory if
783
6048719
6300
100:55
I had to describe the taste of my biscuit I would have to say that it
784
6055019
5040
101:00
tastes a little sweet and a little salty quite savory and I love to dunk my
785
6060059
16910
101:16
biscuit in the tea I love to take my biscuit and I like to dunk dunk if you
786
6076969
10121
101:27
dunk something it means you put something into liquid you dunk dunk it's
787
6087090
10589
101:37
a bit like me really because my name is dunk and I like to dunk my biscuit if I
788
6097679
9301
101:46
win the lottery I will visit you mr. Duncan says Nishant oh thank you very
789
6106980
4710
101:51
much for that you are more than welcome if you win the lottery or even if you
790
6111690
4320
101:56
don't win the lottery you are still welcome to come to England no problem
791
6116010
5839
102:01
some people are asking about my email address for my email address and also my
792
6121849
7151
102:09
Facebook page take a look at this
793
6129000
4909
103:00
mmm delicious I'm now being told off on the live chat mr. Duncan eating too many
794
6180850
11410
103:12
of those biscuits it's not good for you I agree nests June asks what's the
795
6192260
15180
103:27
difference between biscuit and cookie in British English we tend to say biscuit
796
6207440
6900
103:34
in American English they tend to say cookie but they are basically the same
797
6214340
6780
103:41
thing basically the same thing mr. Duncan do you ever win do you ever play
798
6221120
7530
103:48
the lottery I don't I actually don't ever play the lottery
799
6228650
5820
103:54
now you are probably surprised to hear that because I'm talking about winning
800
6234470
5940
104:00
the lottery today personally I don't play the lottery
801
6240410
3960
104:04
that's just my personal view I I don't play the lottery but a lot of people do
802
6244370
7680
104:12
so maybe you do but I personally don't although having said that mr. Steve he
803
6252050
6960
104:19
always liked to put a little bit of money on the lottery every week but I
804
6259010
5250
104:24
don't Andrew is talking about yes we had a sad loss this sheet this week chester
805
6264260

7950
105:10
to four on a Sunday mr. Duncan if you win the lottery what will you do if I
811
6310220
6060
105:16
ever win money if I ever were to win a large amount of money I would save some
812
6316280
5640
105:21
of it I would put it away and then some of it I would give to other people or
813
6321920
5640
105:27
maybe to charity row sir prata says do you already know your new neighbor
814
6327560
9180
105:36
I want your biscuit mr. Duncan I don't know who my new neighbor is I haven't
815
6336740
6330
105:43

2810
105:45

817

105:56
Ben says money can't buy happiness but to cry in a castle or be sad in a
818
6356330
8640
106:04
Lamborghini is better maybe but would you think that would you
819
6364970
5820
106:10
believe or would you think or would you assume that maybe if you have a little
820
6370790
4920
106:15
money but you are happy maybe that is better than to be rich and
821
6375710
5160
106:20
unhappy mr. Duncan you are wearing the same t-shirt today yes lots of people
822
6380870
6840
106:27
seem to like this t-shirt so I think I will be wearing this every week does
823
6387710
5910
106:33
your mother make biscuits that are homemade mr. Duncan many years ago my
824
6393620
7020
106:40
mother used to do lots of cooking she used to make lots of cakes jam tarts ah
825
6400640
6650
106:47
yes my mother music my mother used to make the most delicious jam tarts
826
6407290
5800
106:53
when I was young Olga is here again mr. Duncan I don't play the lottery as well
827
6413090
6900
106:59
I don't like to hope for a chance and also I don't believe that lotteries are
828
6419990
7170
107:07
clear the thing that I have a problem with
829
6427160
6320
107:13
with lotteries is they always make it appear as if you can win very easily but
830
6433480
6750
107:20
of course the chances of you winning the large amount of money is very very small
831
6440230
9809
107:30
in fact you probably have more chance of being struck by lightning than winning
832
6450039
9991
107:40
the lottery I love your t-shirt and hat Thank You Karla juin for that mystery

course every lesson is a special one and today's is no exception
843

109:08
my name is mr. Duncan and I'm ever so delighted to be here with you again can
844
6548930
6630
109:15
you see what I have in my hand it is a type of musical instrument it's a noisy
845
6555560
10020
109:25
one - this is a tambourine it is a type of percussion instrument the word
846
6565580
9270
109:34
percussion means to hit or to strike the word derives from the Latin word Picazo
847
6574850
6750
109:41
which means to hit with force you can play the tambourine in two ways by
848
6581600
9860
109:51
tapping it and by shaking it it looks easy to play but in fact it takes a lot
849
6591490
10210
110:01
of practice to master this instrument you need a good sense of timing and
850
6601700
5930
110:07
rhythm which I don't seem to have so instead of listening to my terrible
851
6607630
8050
110:15
playing let's get on with today's full English lesson right now
852
6615680
9800
110:31
you are not going to believe what I'm about to say but say it I will most
853
6631990
7090
110:39
native speakers of English make mistakes while using the language that is to say
854
6639080
6540
110:45
in their day-to-day use of English there are many reasons for this first there is
855
6645620
7140
110:52
the consideration of the accent being used some English accents clip or alter
856
6652760
6960
110:59
the way in which English is used this applies to both British and American
857
6659720
5460
111:05
English speakers the speed at which some people speak English changes the sounds
858
6665180
6630
111:11
of certain words if you add accent and speed together then you will get a very
859
6671810
7110
111:18
different sounding version of English from a grammatical point of view
860
6678920
6440
111:25
mistakes are often made by native speakers double negatives such as I
861
6685360
8280
111:33
didn't do nothing are common in everyday speech the use of certain words can also
862
6693640
8560
111:42
lead to mistakes being made confusion between words such as historic and
863
6702200
9350
111:51
historical affect and effect elude and elude assume and presume these are just
864
6711550
13540
112:05
some examples of common mistakes made by native English speakers
865
6725090
5780
112:10
then there is the spelling of certain words native English speakers will often
866
6730870
7150
112:18
spell certain words incorrectly good examples of this include amount
867
6738020
8360
112:26
fascinate necessary definitely achieve acknowledge success imitate familiar
868
6746380
14599
112:40
scissors and vacuum there are of course many others my point here is that even
869
6760979
10171
112:51
though a person speaks and uses English as their first language they will still
870
6771150
5639
112:56
be prone to making the occasional mistake it would be fair to say that on
871
6776789
6151
113:02
a daily basis very few native English speakers get it right all the time and
872
6782940
5840
113:08
that includes me
873
6788780
5129
113:25
it's time to take a look at another buzzword a buzzword is a popular word or
874
6805910
5860
113:31
phrase used during a certain period today we will look at two buzz words
875
6811770
5990
113:37
they are migrant and refugee the word migrant is a noun that means a person
876
6817760
7870
113:45
who travels from one place to another so as to find a better standard of living a
877
6825630
5540
113:51
person doing this is called a migrant a migrant migrates they move from one
878
6831170
7870
113:59
place to another in the hope of finding a better life for themselves the word
879
6839040
5580
114:04
refugee is a noun that means a person who travels from one place to another so
880
6844620
5250
114:09
as to escape persecution and victimization caused by conflict and war
881
6849870
6630
114:16
a refugee is a person who has been forced to flee from their native country
882
6856500
5699
114:22
in search of a safe haven refugees often travel in groups using unsafe methods of
883
6862199
7681
114:29
transportation a person who seeks refuge is a refugee despite the trend to use
884
6869880
8130
114:38
both of these words together a migrant and refugee are not the same a migrant
885
6878010
7439
114:45
moves by choice while a refugee moves as a last resort for their very survival
886
6885449
8750
115:06
can you see what I have here in my pocket this is a very basic type of fag
887
6906540
8920
115:15
and one that is seen very often in shopping areas and supermarkets this is
888
6915460
8820
115:24
a carrier bag it is very lightweight and is made of very thin plastic when not in
889
6924280
9060
115:33
use a plastic carrier bag can be folded up small and put into a convenient place
890
6933340
7920
115:41
like a pocket or another bag it would be fair to say that a plastic carrier bag
891
6941260
10230
115:51
is the most convenient thing for carrying heavy objects around it which
892
6951490
6030
115:57
makes them very popular with shoppers of course there is a downside to this
893
6957520
5850
116:03
convenience plastic carrier bags tear and break easily and they are often
894
6963370
6420
116:09
thrown away in places where they can do harm and create nuisance people tend to
895
6969790
7440
116:17
collect them in their homes without reusing them so is a way of discouraging
896
6977230
5580
116:22
this many shops now charge their customers for each plastic carrier bag
897
6982810
5130
116:27
they need this is done as a way of getting people to reuse their old
898
6987940
5370
116:33
carrier bags that is why I always have a carrier bag with me when I go shopping
899
6993310
7460
116:40
just in case I need one
900
7000770
4320
116:55
