Learning English - Late and Live - From England. 30th May 2018 - 10pm UK time

oh hello there how are you today?

here we are again together again again we are here together it's

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

are you okay? I hope so are you happy? well are you? I really really hope so

welcome to another late and live English yes we are now broadcasting through your

internet wire as live as live can be I'm not joking it's live look it's just

after five minutes past 10:00 here in the UK

check your watch is now and check your clocks or whichever timepiece you use it

is just after five past whatever your time is so here we go I hope you are

okay a lot of things going on this week May has been a very busy month for me

lots of things have happened during the month of May I'm not going to go into

all of them because some of them are for you and some of them are not that's all

I'm saying but May has been a very busy month lots

of things to do lots of things lots of chores that I had to carry out oh my

goodness so between you and me I will be very

glad to see May go away to be honest I will be so glad

to see may disappear down the road and June will be here and of course it's

hard to escape the fact that summer is here because June is normally one of the

high points of this summer season so hopefully we will be getting lots and

lots of lovely weather talking which let's have a look tonight what was the

view like tonight it wasn't great I'm going to be honest with you we haven't

had much good weather during passed a couple of days so here it is

this is a view taken tonight outside very misty very murky quite damp but not

cold it's very very humid at the moment the humidity here is is a bit like the

humidity you would find in a tropical country like Brazil so at the moment it

feels very very humid very hot in fact at the weekend mr. Steve and myself we

went for a walk and it felt as if we were walking around one of the rain

forests in Malaysia so it felt so hot and humid so there it is the view

tonight and I have some very exciting news coming in a few moments I have some

new neighbors it's true yes I have some new neighbors and they arrived tonight

just a couple of hours ago in fact so just two hours ago

or should I say three hours ago I think it was about seven o'clock tonight they

arrived so I will show you the first moments of my new neighbors arriving at

the back of my house so yes so I'm I'm rather excited about that to be honest

also do you remember a couple of weeks ago I showed you one of the plants in my

garden something called a day Leah day Leah well here it is here

is my day Leah update so you can see the Dahlia is coming along very well at the

moment it's really growing quite well we've had quite a lot of rain and a lot

of sunshine as well so it's really coming on well and there you can see

some of the birds the birds are now appearing and I think in a roundabout

a week or maybe a week and a half there will be lots of beautiful colorful

flowers all over this particular flower this particular plant there will be lots

of lovely bright flowers I think last year if I remember right I think these

flowers are actually pink I want to say pink or red I can't quite remember what

color they were to be honest I think they were they were pink or red so there

it is the daily update can you see what I did there

instead of daily update I said daily ax updates I was up one day

this week very very early I think it was last

Wednesday no last Friday I'm sorry last Friday I was up very early in the

morning and do you know what I was doing I was recording something very special I

actually got out of bed and around about 4 o'clock in the morning because I

wanted to record something and it was something that I really wanted to share

with you as well so that's the reason why I did it so I got up very early I

think it was last Friday or maybe even last Thursday to be honest I can't

remember but it was a very early start to my day and I filmed something and

also I recorded the sound of something as well hmm so a few things to tease you

with so I hope you will stay with me will mr. Steve be here tonight well as

you may know mr. Steve has been very busy over the past few weeks preparing

for his show he will be playing the part of Carlos oh here he is now

hello mr. Duncan and all your lovely viewers all around the

world today I'm at a rehearsal so unfortunately I cannot be here to teach

English with you today hopefully on a Wednesday or next Sunday I will be back

and then we shall teach the English to everyone around the world but today I am

a Carlos Santos pirate from the Caribbean island of sand arena goodbye

adios adios mr. Steve

so the big question tonight is will mr. Steve join us at some point I have no

idea at the moment because tonight it is mr. Steve's first dress rehearsal

so tonight they are performing the musical play and they will be wearing

their costumes tonight and mr. Steve said I might be back at around about 11

o'clock which of course is quite late so I'm not sure maybe mr. Steve will come

back earlier or maybe later we will have to wait and see so I'm really hoping

that mr. Steve will be here tonight there is something I am forgetting I'm

sure there is something I'm forgetting yes the live chat oh I can't forget the

live chat sure later goodness no I cannot so the live chat is on let's

see if we can find out who was first I don't know who was first so let's see

who was first on the live chat eventually abdullah al by dillema lad is

first on the live chat thank you very much and thank you for being so early

Pedro Belmont is second and in third place Belarusian and following in fourth

Rondon le Oliveira or Oliveira hello to you is it your first time here I don't

recognise your name to be honest Stefano is also here Nicole hello Nicole and a

very good evening to you as well hi everybody from tsukete Francisco go SIA

M x.25 ania ania parada hello to you as well

oder also Delft hello Delft hello mr. Duncan glad to see you again

glad to see you as well sooo cat I've just arrived back from

work well you can now sit down and put your feet up and relax in front of my

late and live English Aurora is here watching in Brazil to be honest it feels

a little bit like Brazil at the moment here because it's so humid long nough

doin or should I say long win is here as well also Ana ahead and Paulo also

watching in Sicily who are your new neighbors Paulo is very interested to

find out I will show you who my new neighbours are in the moment they

actually arrived tonight at 7 o'clock so I was very excited to be honest I'm

still excited now if truth be known quiesce Quay s Samadhi is watching in

Afghanistan hello to you also as a kawaii s' I love to watch your videos

since I was a child since my childhood wow that's nice to know I hope my

lessons have been helpful to you andrew is here hello Andrew also JC

Jordi who is watching in the office at this very moment hello from Thailand

says just be hello to you Prabhat pro happen L is watching but where are you

watching I'm always interested to find out where you are watching to be honest

I suppose I'm a little bit curious although some people might say that I'm

very nosy well perhaps perhaps I am there's nothing wrong with being

inquisitive inquisitive it's a great word if you are inquisitive

it means you are interest did you are curious to find out about

something you are inquisitive inquisitive so who are my new neighbors

would you like to find out who my new neighbours are okay let's have a look

right now now this particular video that you're about to watch is not very good

quality so I grabbed my phone and I filmed it but the quality isn't good but

you can see what I am filming you can in the distance so here they are my new

neighbours they arrived it's seven o'clock tonight oh yes we have some new

bowls some new balls have arrived I think they are Bulls or Bullock's but

they are quite young Bulls as well I think they are very young so this is

them having just arrived in the field and as you can see they they seem a

little bit nervous so they are all sticking together they are all feeling a

little nervous because this is a new place for them

so these Bulls arrived in the field tonight and as you can see they they

don't seem very confident they're all grouped together at the top of the hill

but I'm sure in a few moments they will feel a little bit more relaxed I'm

almost certain of it in fact I know because I edited this video so in a

moment you will see them looking a little bit more relaxed so every year we

have Bulls or sometimes we have sheep at the back of the house so this year they

have arrived quite late in fact so the balls are very late arriving so there

they are looking a little bit more relaxed now I'm not sure how many there

are I think there are 10 but I'm not sure

so I tried to count them earlier now I counted 10 but I'm not sure if I counted

them correctly so I might have done it wrong so there might only be 9

so it's either 9 or 10 it's one of those so there they are the new Bulls so now I

have some new neighbors at the back of the house and they seem quite

comfortable now they seem to have relaxed already

so already they are eating the grass and there is a lot of grass in that field

because the grass is being growing like crazy over the past few weeks so there

you go my new neighbours have arrived I'm so excited even though they were quite

late arriving this year but then everything this year has been late I

don't know why shall we have a look at something I filmed a couple of nights

ago I was outside my house and I saw something absolutely glorious

I saw something so beautiful I think if I can if I can get it to work that is oh

dear am I having technical problems I hope

I'm not having technical problems here because that will be very very

embarrassing come on what is happening to my computer actually it's not my

computer it's my mouse it stopped working for some reason well that's not

very clever oh there it is oh I see there you are you were hiding in the

corner of the screen so look at this oh we're going to share a real-time sunset

so this is something I filmed the other night and I was sitting outside my house

and I looked across towards the sunset and I thought to myself I want to share

that sunset on Wednesday night so there it is that is actually the sunset from

nights ago and we had a beautiful sunset even though the the weather during the

day was horrible and it was a public holiday by the way on Monday so many

people here in the UK have had a very long week so I thought it would be a

nice opportunity to share something lovely a nice moment of nature and there

will be some more moments of nature coming later on the live chat is also

very busy so let's have a quick look at the live chat whilst we enjoy the sunset

so a lot of people now are on the live chat

I need your guidelines to learn English anabia especially by myself for

speaking well as I always say speaking is the hardest part of learning English

I suppose part of it is having the confidence to do it you see part of it

is actually having the confidence to do it an obeah is actually watching in

Pakistan and I'm finding it very hard to teach myself English well learning

English by yourself is not easy to do I'm not going to say that it is easy

because it isn't it's strange that you only have bulls in your field well every

year these farmers the farmers that are living around this area they always put

their young bulls into the field at the back of the house and I know that some

people are going to be upset by this but those bulls will actually be

slaughtered so they will actually be slaughtered eventually I'm sorry about

that so if that does upset you I do apologise but yes sadly those bulls are

normally they are normally slaughtered so that's why every year each each group

of bulls is different because they are they are sadly slaughtered an obeah says

nowadays in Karachi we are facing very hot days because of the climate changing

it has increased the temperature to 44 degrees 44 degrees I can't believe it

that is incredible so the sunset is slowly disappearing there it's going now

so I thought I would share that with you because the other night I was sitting

outside my house and I thought I'm going to share my sunset with all of my

viewers on Wednesday and there it was I hope you enjoyed that something very

special coming very soon the other morning I got up very early 4 o'clock in

the morning I got up and I went into the garden and I set my camera and my

microphones I set them all up in the garden because I wanted to record

something very special and I'm going to share it with you a little bit later on

but for now we are going to have a look at one of my English lessons because the

World Cup is starting soon are you a fan of football do you like football now I

know that some people are crazy about football so this clip is especially for

you

football football the World Cup is here football football pass me another beer

football football playing on the pitch Oh ball football losing set chip hang on

a second I don't even follow football excuse me

let me put this right that's better hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in

England how are you today are you okay I hope so are you happy I

hope so Here I am once again with another selection of York Wanderers

queries and comments concerning English and my work here on the Internet so

without any more hesitation let us have our first question for today how

important are collocations in spoken and written English this email comes from

Victor wommen and the question comes from his girlfriend b-trees Lopes they

both live in Peru a collocation is normally made up of two or more commonly

used words it is probably easier to give examples of them rather than explain all

the details collocations may feature words such as make or do make a drink do

the washing up from these examples you can see that collocations often express

a verb or an action something is done it has been done it has been done in a

certain way the words find save come see feel do make all occur in collocations

so it would be useful to know how they should be used in both writing and

speech common mistakes may occur when learning English and the various

collocations often become mixed up and confused with each other so to answer

your question yes collocations are very important

mm did you enjoy that I really really hope so and that was especially for all

of the football fans watching as you can see there are quite a few people who do

like football now personally personally I'm not a follower of football but I

know that many people do like it so I won't hold it against you I'm not a fan

of football but I don't hate football of course I'm not a hater of football I

just happen not to follow it so that's it really but a lot of people do enjoy

watching football as we can see and our beer says I like football who is your

favorite player I don't have a favorite player as I just said I don't follow

football Carlos says oh my goodness I don't believe in this Brazil's team is

is in Tottenham Hotspurs facilities I don't know when you say facilities do

you mean do you mean they're there ground or their stadium or do you mean

their clothing their their actual team colors so I'm not sure what you mean by

that if you could explain nicole says I too have a lovely Dahlia growing in a pot

outside it will make yellow flowers so the flowers that your flower or your

plant produces are yellow I think mine are red red or pink I don't

know why I can't remember what color they are it was only last year for

goodness sake quiesce says I love football

and I am a big fan of Real Madrid my favorite player is cr7 I I'm going to be

honest and I just to say here that I have no idea who cr7 is so

please forgive my ignorance oh yes the stadium okay thank you JC so they are

playing at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium I didn't know that Annie to grab says I

hate football okay that's okay you are welcome and

entitled to your opinion which sport do you like the most and which do you

follow I don't really follow many sports to be honest there are some sports that

I don't follow because I find them very boring to watch I did this last year III

asked my viewers to guess which was my least favourite sport so that's what I

did last year Cristiano Ronaldo apparently is cr7 so now I know I liked

soccer but I don't love it says Ororo I don't like football and I am from Brazil

says rondalee rondalee really you don't like football but you

live in Brazil well I suppose it doesn't really matter to be honest

some people like football and some people don't that's the way the world

works and drew hello Andrew it's far easier to learn new phrasal verbs or

words by collocations it's much harder with learning words on their own yes I

think you're right they're an obeah says I love cricket

and recently Pakistan and England were were in the Test series the Test series

was going on or is going on I don't follow cricket to be honest even though

in the place I live they often play cricket every Sunday and Saturday they

often play cricket during the summer months

Karlos many people from brazil mainly young people dislike football I'm

surprised to hear that I thought a lot of young people would actually like

football not dislike it so it's a Wednesday night for those who aren't

sure what's going on my name is Duncan I teach English I talk in English for you

to listen to and hopefully improve your English and most importantly of all

improve your listening skills as well and I am here not once a week no I'm

here twice a week I am here on Sunday from 2 p.m. UK time and also as you can

see now Wednesday 10:00 p.m. UK time so Sunday afternoon and Wednesday night and

don't forget that is UK time for those who want to get in touch with me or to

stay in touch with what is going on in my world you can find me on Facebook and

also you can send me an email so there you can see right now on the screen my

facebook page and also my email address is well there it is can you see my email

there it is and my facebook is well for those who want to follow me you are more

than welcome to do so it's not a problem so it's Wednesday and we have lots of

things to show you would you like to have a look at something beautiful now

there is something that gets me very excited something that I love in the

surrounding area where I live I am crazy about birds I love watching the birds I

love listening to the birds and a few morning's ago I got up very early to do

some according I got up at 4 o'clock in the

morning to record the sound of the birds now this is no ordinary bird song this

is something very special this is something called the dawn chorus and now

I am going to play you some of that very moment so this is the moment in the

morning just as the Sun begins to rise just as the sky begins to get light and

then the birds suddenly wake up

dawn chorus I had to get up very early to record this

so I hope you enjoyed that the dawn chorus I got up the other morning at 4

o'clock to record that I went outside it was a beautiful quite warm morning in

fact the hour before I went outside it was actually raining so I was surprised

to find so many birds were out and about so they all sing during the sunrise and

they get very very excited especially at this time of the year because many of

them have babies as well they have chicks to take care of so at this time

of the year it's a it's a very busy time for our feathered friends the live chat

is on right now Alberto says those sounds are beautiful I really enjoyed

them thank you by the way if you were listening with headphones if you are

listening with headphones or earphones you would have got quite an interesting

feeling because it would have felt as if the

birds were all around you ISA says hello dear sir I am from Iran thank you for

your useful programs you are British but you pronounce some words like Americans

for example half half past may I ask why well it's not necessarily because I'm

speaking American English it's just because certain accents sound similar so

the best way to explain that is to forget about American English and

British English and just think of all of these ways of using English as accents

so some accents will actually sound very similar to each other so that's the

reason why although many people say that they can tell that I'm British

it's not very often people don't often confuse me with an American it doesn't

happen very often the sound is very good to take for an alarm thank you Andrew

you are welcome no problem I love the sound of nature and I also love the view

of nature as well Ahmed says I am an Arabic teacher and I

am learning from your method thank you thank you very much Ahmed

Jamelia hello Jim Elia thank you very much yes the birds were celebrating the

new day that's what they do during the summer months they normally wake up very

early because here in the UK it gets light very early in the morning so

during the summer it starts to get light from around about 3:00 3:30 or sometimes

2:30 maybe 3 o'clock in the morning it starts to get light so that's during the

peak of summer so during the summer months we have very short nights very

short so they are not very long at all at the moment the Sun will set at around

about 9:15 quarter past 9:00 at night so at the moment the sunset is occurring at

around about 9:15 but in around about a month from now the Sun will be setting

at around about quarter to 10:00 or 10:00 to 10:00

so the Sun will be going down much later during the height of summer yes

definitely a class says I really learn a lot of things from you thank you a class

you are welcome that's why we are all here together would you make a video

about miss the Duncans bird observations well there

are some lessons on my youtube channel where I talk about birds and you can see

me in the garden taking care of the birds I was even filming myself taking

care of the birds during the winter months I don't know if you remember but

I actually did a live video where I went outside to take care of the birds and

then I edited it so yes so whatever the weather whether it is cold and wintry or

whether it is summery and warm I will always take care of the birds Rosario

MC says good night good night Rosario have a sweet dream please just for me so

cats mr. Duncan I love hearing you speak whilst I'm eating my dinner well don't

eat your dinner too fast don't get indigestion like me I always get

indigestion on Wednesday I don't know why I think it's because I eat my supper

too quickly so if I eat too fast I always end up with indigestion yeah

Meeker is here hello Meeker nice to see you better late than never

I have been on since 10 o'clock we've had a lot of things to look at we had a

look at my new neighbours because I have some new neighbours now at the back of

my house would you like to have another look ok let's have another look at my

new neighbors here they are they arrived tonight at around about 7 o'clock

tonight and they are some new balls that have just arrived and they are very very

frightened they seem afraid at the moment because they've just arrived they

don't know where they are they feel a little

service so you can see at the moment some nervous bulls so that was something

I filmed earlier just after they arrived so yes we have some Bulls in the field

which is really great because I at you know me you know me I

love nature I like it very excited to be honest the live chat is very busy oh I

see apparently sooo cat is heating or

warming her dinner so you are not eating yet but you are about to eat your dinner

I see ok then today was a sunny day where I am says a rube oh well I'm very

pleased to hear that that's very nice why don't you film a live stream walking

around your town I have done that there is I think actually there are two live

streams that I did walking around the town the problem with doing a live

stream here is the internet connection is not very good

there is no Wi-Fi and also the phone signal is not very strong but last year

we had 4G 4G phone connection so we now have a 4G phone connection here in Much

Wenlock and that means now I can actually live stream from the center of

the town Meru Meru ran Meru an says why did you ignore my comment this is really

bad let's have a look oh yes I can see it now on the screen hello

I sent you my love from Paris well you are more than welcome and can I send my

best wishes to you as well I never ignore anyone's comments I never ignore

them sometimes I miss them but I don't ignore them Andrew says I

remember the live stream and I was surprised that the squirrels stole food

from the birds feeders yes they do squirrels are a big pain in the neck

they are so annoying to be honest with you squirrels get on my nerves quite a

lot if I was completely honest with you

thanks for your comments about the sunset by the way I do appreciate that

and I appreciate all of your comments that is very very kind of you

Belarusian asks how is your hay fever my hay fever over the past two days has

been very bad in fact today I wasn't sure if I was going to be on honestly I

I thought I was going to have to cancel tonight's live stream because my throat

was very sore so when you get hay fever it doesn't just affect your nose and

eyes it also affects your throat as well it makes it very sensitive and maybe

tonight you've noticed now and again my voice keeps breaking and that's because

of the hay fever so I am suffering at the moment with hay fever because the

the pollen is now in the air and because everything now is coming out into bloom

there is lots of pollen in the air and of course the problem is I get hay fever

every single year and it's a real pain

RAF I fall my comments are ignored - I don't ignore

people's comments why do people stop saying that I'm ignoring you because I'm

not I don't ignore people sometimes I miss the comments because I'm not

looking at the screen I have to look at other things as well

you see because I have to control everything here so please please excuse

me if I don't see your message straightaway so yes as I mentioned just

my hay fever is very very bad at the moment perhaps someday a cardinal with a

beautiful red color will sing at your window Thank You Carlos

that we were very nice I'm not sure if we get Cardinals here I don't think we

get Cardinals in this country we get lots of blackbirds in fact during the

past two mornings I have been woken up by the black birds singing right outside

my bedroom window and because I've had my bedroom windows open it sounds as if

they're in the bedroom with me it sounds as if the the black birds are sitting at

the end of my bed Mika says I saw something on TV about a cheese rolling

festival I liked watching it but it looked dangerous oh yes I know which one

you mean there are a few cheese rolling races and what they normally do is they

get a big piece of cheese and they roll it down a hill and then everyone who

wants to catch the cheese will run down and chase it and the person who gets the

cheese is the winner the only problem is the hill is very very steep so when the

people are running down they often fall over they roll over they fall over each

other it's a very dangerous thing and in some places it's actually been banned

they've actually banned cheese rolling because people were getting injured some

people were breaking their arms or legs no one was killed as far as I know no

one has ever been killed because of chasing

piece of cheese down a hill but yes you're right it is one of our very

strange festivals we have some very strange festivals here in the UK maybe

one day I will tell you all about them yes I think that would be interesting

can you make a video for how we prepare for a job interview because I will have

an interview a week from now a week later Oh

job interviews I think job interviews are the most stressful things ever in

your life that and also going to a funeral or maybe a wedding especially if

it's your own wedding or maybe your own funeral that also can be very stressful

so yes I think going for a job interview is very stressful and in my life I have

been for many job interviews in my early life I did lots of different jobs so

many people don't realize this but in my early life many many many years ago many

years ago honestly I I went for a period where I wanted to do different things I

wanted to try different types of jobs and some of them were not interesting as

some of them were interesting so I like to get his much experience from doing

different things as I can as much experience as I can

so in my life I have attended many many job interviews many indeed sir are you

from London no I'm not from London I live in the north of land of England not

the north of London I don't live in London at all I live in a place called

Much Wenlock Much Wenlock in Shropshire which is in the Midlands

not very far away from way owns a beautiful place called Wales so I'm very

close to that thanks mr. Duncan I'm Limburg greetings

from Peru thanks for your videos I can practice the pronunciation no sabir he

lives in a city a couple of hundred miles from the north of great London

that's right Carlos I live around about a hundred and sixty miles from London a

very long way doctor's ahed says I subscribed to you did you really thank

you very much I need all of the subscribers that I can get so thank you

doctors are heed for subscribing to me tonight thank you very much mara Darwin

says do you live near Sunderland or Newcastle no I live a long way from

Sunderland and a very long way from Newcastle one week I think I will

actually show you whereabouts I live on the map so then you can get an idea of

where I am amazing teacher you are you are an amazing teacher thank you arrey

fir re fir Ramon where are you watching where are you at the moment

doctors are he'd is watching in China a big knee how to China and thanks for

joining me you do you have Instagram mr. Duncan yes I do I do have Instagram I

don't use it very often but I do have Instagram sue cat I've

read that in some places in Wales they are going to ban smoking everywhere oh I

see so in public places and that includes outside in the street

now to be honest I haven't heard about that so I'm not aware of that but yes I

know in some parts of the world they are planning to ban smoking completely in

public places and that also means outdoors outside and that's something

you will see very often here in the UK you will often see people outside shops

or outside offices and they're all standing outside and they are smoking

because they have to go outside to smoke the only problem is if you are walking

pests all of these smokers you will also breathe in their smoke as well so in

some places in some countries in fact I have a feeling that in some countries

public smoking is already banned so you can't even smoke outside in the fresh

air so you can't smoke your cigarette outside but that hasn't happened here

yet but as far as I can tell I'm not sure if it is going to happen I think a

lot of people will be very unhappy about that what is the correct correct

pronunciation is it often or often both are ok you can say often or you can say

often often often don't forget to thumb up mr. Duncan

there is only 49 thumbs up Thank You Raphael isn't that kind oh thank you I

have I have 49 thumbs up at the moment 49 of these just 49 so if you want to

give me a thumbs up or I like feel free to do so smoking is bad for your health

apparently smoking is banned in Bangladesh is that completely so

you can't smoke anywhere in Bangladesh I didn't know that I wasn't aware of that

I have a feeling that mr. Steve has just arrived I think so

hello Pedro where is Juan mr. Duncan do you mean Carlos Carlos has just arrived

in fact he's just actually returned from his rehearsal so I'm hoping that mr.

Steve will be here in a moment to say hello Sergio Sergio says smoking is good

for your brain I'm not sure about that I'm really not sure I'm not adopt two

you see so I'm not going to make any comment about that so for those who

missed the day Lea earlier here is the update on the Dalia it is coming along

very nicely and you can see that there are some small buds the small buds and

there is one of them so the flowers are getting ready to come out

so in a few days from now this particular day Lea will be covered with

beautiful flowers I can't remember the color of them either I think they are

pink or red I can't remember maybe mr. Steve will know I will ask mr.

Steve when he comes in what color they are so it's a very busy night here lots

of things going on I I wasn't sure if I was coming on tonight because my throat

was very painful I have my water here my lovely water to keep my throat nice and

supple so would you like to say hello to mr. Steve okay then here he comes

dododo oh yes of course we couldn't not we couldn't have or we could not have a

Wednesday night livestream without mr. Steve or should I say

Carlos Carlos Santos is that is that your name Steve

Carlos Santas Carlos sentence I've probably still covered in remnants

of makeup you've got you've got some strip what's this that's worthy the wig

that's where the wig was put your head down

pressing into my head look at that it looks like it looks like Steve's had an

operation on his brain I probably need one for doing this doing this but yes Oh

hot from the dress rehearsal when we say dress rehearsal we mean that is the the

the rehearsal just before the last rehearsal just before you put the show

on where everybody is in their costumes in their dress and their makeup and

using all the props so let's have a look everything let's have a look so here's

here's Steve in his there he is I thought we just a freeze the frame there

so there is mr. Steve in his outfit that's without makeup there's no makeup

there so you weren't wearing makeup No so you

recorded this less Sunday didn't you you recorded a message a message for last

Sunday so that mark on your head is actually caused by the wig that's where

the wig is yes there's a bit of elastic going across there so let's discuss the

next thing which is the accent so let's listen to this and then we will talk

about it after hello mr. Duncan and all your lovely viewers all around the world

today I'm at a rehearsal so unfortunately I cannot be here to teach

English with you today hopefully on a Wednesday or next

Sunday I will be back and then we shall teach her the English to everyone around

the world but today I am a Carl Sanders the pirate from the Caribbean island of

sand arena goodbye and yes so so there it is there is mr.

Steve in his costume for his show that he's putting on this weekend I am going

along to see mr. Steve perform on the stage of course I have to do that you'll

be there on the Saturday Saturday got you a ticket for Saturday there is one

thing I didn't realize apparently the show is very long

now the first the first act the first half is an hour in 20 minutes long well

bizarrely enough the director has had to make lots and

lots of cuts that means he has removed a lot of the songs or reduced some of the

the verses because originally I think it was an hour and 40 minutes so he's got

it down to an hour and 20 and then he made some more cuts and for some bizarre

reason tonight it Ramban longer despite the cuts so so the first half not not

the whole show but just the first act is an hour in 20 minutes yes and I don't

think we can do anything else to that now that's it we've had the dress

rehearsal tomorrow is opening night so it's the first night when we say opening

night that's the first night of the performance where the public are paying

to come and see it like me the yes and I don't know what they're going to wear a

bit under rehearsed we could do with another two weeks I would say before I

would feel it was ready but anyway interestingly enough you know the other

day when you showed this on Sunday I was of course it was at a rehearsal mm-hmm

you said that some people said that they could understand me better when I was

doing me doing the accent than when I was speaking normally that was very

interesting actually a lot of people said they could understand mr. Steve

better with his Spanish accent than when he speaks his normal English and I

wondered whether that was Spanish people that were saying that or whether that

was just everybody generally no I know for a fact that we did have some some

messages from people who are Spanish or speak Spanish and they said it was very

good they said your your accent was very good so I'm just seeing wow everyone is

so excited you know we know what I love about doing this Steve is is how excited

everyone gets thank you very thank you everybody for your for your lovely

welcome messages it's very it's it's lovely to come on

after a rehearsal and and wind down with mr. Duncan and answer some questions and

say hello to to everybody around the world who want to learn English with mr.

Duncan because you have been very busy yes I should be glad it's over yes so so

everything will get back to normal yes I can concentrate on the garden hmm Oh

Andrew says that's interesting now mr. Duncan won't be filming it but it will

be filmed and I think we will be able to see it yes because well that the problem

was we weren't sure if it was in copyright so I can't really record it

and then play it on YouTube but we're not sure about that so I I'm not

actually going to risk it but I might show some if there are some photographs

of the show we could always show we could always show some photographs so

sue cat yes I didn't have all the didn't have all the the trimmings

so does didn't have I'm not wearing earrings in

this show and I'm not wearing a necklace because actually I'm actually people

aren't supposed to know I'm a pirate Oh disguise I I'm disguised as an as a as a

musician I have a guitar okay and so I don't have all the things on that a

pirate would have so I don't have the eyepatch and I don't have the an eerie

eerie interesting I thought today should I put a little earring on I might do you

know a little gold earring I think I might do that

well somewhere I've got I've got an earring wait there a second Steve I'm

sure I put an earring up here that Bailey that I could vote for one of my

lessons years ago when I did my fashion lesson wait there a second yeah you just

you just read the live messages there don't touch that for goodness sake

listen no please don't touch that because the slightest movement and that

goes all over the place now you know mr. Duncan I do actually have a gold earring

because I had to wear one when I was playing the King of Siam in the king and

I about three years ago and I had to wear a gold earring for that so sue cat

unfortunately I cannot play the guitar I have to fake it when I'm on the stage so

fake it that means I'm pretending to play the guitar just for a couple of

short scenes I don't have to have it all the way through but yes Nicole I am

ready for the show as ready as I can ever be and yes I do sing in the show

Anna I've got about three or four couple of songs to sing and a couple of duets

that means I'm singing we covered that before didn't we gh is when you're

singing with another person zero means two so I'm singing with a lady who's my

love interest in this show now that's acting and she that is acting yes and

she's very good I've played alongside her in many shows

and she's she's very good and her name in the show is Lola Lola she's from

America and I fall in love with this beautiful lady and we go off together at

the end and make passionate love by the river we do go off to a river at once -

Deezer Steve look what I've got Oh a couple of large gold earrings I

found these who remembers my lesson about fashion I made it about I think it

was 2009 I made it and these have been in my studio or in my possession in fact

they were in a cup over there for since for nine years nine years these have

been in nine years these have been inside a cup so I'm going to see if I

can put this on Steve's ear let's see one while you're doing that vitae Lola

says hi from Honduras hi that's lovely to see thank you very much

I've done that we've had anyone from Honduras before so hello hello and

welcome and what's mr. Duncan doing here well that's interesting somebody if you

got outside as they check nicotine in your blood do they I didn't know that so

are they saying that smoking is causing Alzheimer's disease is that what they're

saying you're taking a very long time Lola is very Spanish Tatsu cat yes she's

I don't think it's a real name in the show whether it's supposed to be

American oh no she isn't she's American but she was brought up in this Caribbean

island Spanish island so that's why her name is Lola and I'm calling I don't

know whether it's supposed to be if we would normally pronounce it Lola but I'm

going Lola like it to make it sound a bit more exotic exotic I don't know

whether that's correct so Steve's got some earrings now 330s but but the only

problem is his his ears are very thin so they might

keep falling off I've got dainty lobes but these are actually the earrings that

I used in my fashion lesson when I was dressed like a punk and I had one of

those in my nose and the other one was in my ears he says I only have to wear

one which is true yes if you wear too I think Steve might be mistaken for a

ladyboy there we go so I've just got one now but without the wig and the rest of

it it looks a bit silly so I don't think I might look Harrison Ford

then I can't wear those on the stage mr. Duncan they'll fall off look apparently for

for men now who are very old wearing an earring is very cool Harrison Ford

wears an earring I think also is it Steven Spielberg I think he wears an

earring as well so wearing earrings is actually still very cool especially for

for older men mmm either then says somebody has Sergio says smoking

prevents outsiders really I'm not sure if smoking I'm not sure if any of these

true I'm not sure it is I'm not sure I'm not sure if any of these are our medical

of strict medical advice I would only take that sort of advice from a doctor

and I don't think there are any doctors to be honest I don't think there are any

doctors who would say that smoking is good for you I really don't think so

V Tate's is first time Vito Joris is in Latin America which is the accent I'm

trying to perfect he's very excited well welcome vitae la la la Oh like like Lola

like Lola but with an O so it's as much as miss it's probably vitae Lalo

Honduras yes in Latin America how exciting

but but a real one you see a one apart from me being a fake one you look very

different with earrings as mica what I put it here

what's that sorry wait there you're not you're not on screen wait there a

second oh hey does that look all right actually

the there are some bulls at the back of the house they look very similar to

Steve at the moment because they have rings through their noses as well oh so

you haven't seen the bulls yet hurting you haven't seen the bulls we have some

new fancy look there they are Wow they arrived tonight so now we have

some bulls at the back of the house Steve I wonder if they're different ones

to last year they are definitely different because the ones last year was

slaughtered so unless they've managed to put them back together again they look a

bit excited they just arrived the this what you're looking at now is the first

moment that they were in the field Wow because I heard I heard the the big

lorry arrive I could hear the engine so I knew something was going on so I went

outside and there that there they are so that that was filmed just after they

arrived there's all sorts of exciting things happening tonight yes well it's

always something going on around here yes yes and just today you said there's

nothing exciting going on and yet we've got some Bulls arriving yes and we had

lots of helicopters going overhead yes today like some kind of military

exercises yes happen tonight so it was yes I was here tonight not tonight I

meant earlier on oh I see four I went down you're confusing me don't be

pedantic mr. Duncan I can't help it I can't help it you want to explain what

pedantic mean not particularly I think what do you think this is an English

lesson it's supposed to be pedantic is a person

who is very picky they are very fussy they're very they concentrate on the

very small mistakes and the small details of things they are very pedantic

I can't stand pedants a pedant is a person who is pedantic people do

complain sometimes at don't speak clearly enough somebody

mentioned earlier that my accent was different to yours which I'm interesting

that people can detect a difference in our accents because I thought we sounded

very similar well you you you have different ways of pronouncing certain

words and so do I yes so I don't I don't think it's it's unrealistic to say that

we do sound different so I'm just looking at some we have some interesting

very interesting messages coming at the moment I'm happy to see you again

Rosemarie hello Rosemarie I admire your beautiful

garden well you can you can congratulate mr. Steve because he does most of the

work in the garden I'll take a bow for that oh and somebody from Belarus hello

we can't we can't pronounce your name because we don't understand how to

pronounce those letters yes you know I would love to find out how to read I

think that's also Cyrillic I would love to to learn how to translate syllabus

Cyrillic because it's very very hard to read because a lot of the letters are

not the same as in English of course just go back a bit sorry go back where

go back on the live chat I can't go back a little bit over go Aurora there is

telling is telling Salib when we are on oh yes well I'm very much there we go I

can also put it on the screen for those who aren't sure for newcomers Sunday

2:00 p.m. and Wednesday 10:00 p.m. UK time Thank You Aurora and it answer your

questions it is now on the screen Nicole asks do you ever feel like eating roast

beef when you are looking at the balls I must admit I like do sometimes feel a

little bit hungry oh no you don't mr. jokin I want to chase one of one of them

around and and put it in my oven we get well the thing is with the Bulls is that

would become quite attached to them because they come up to the fence and we

like feeding them bits weeds and things like

that and we had one and we can still remember it had a number on its ear

didn't it called it was 1277 before 1277 was the number was the most beautiful

cow I've ever seen it was a bull yes well you know what I mean yeah you're

being pedantic now mr. doom no no will you you mentioned the word all cows I

couldn't resist giving it giving you an example but how do you describe a male

and a female as a cow I don't know not really no cattle you can say cattle

is a generic word for I think it means for all all bovine so all

bovine animals that are related to each other they can all be described as

cattle ah sook at the colour of the dahlia it's it's it's it's a deep red like

a deep crimson red colour I couldn't remember I I thought it was red or pink

like it's red I couldn't remember Bartleby I'm where they says have you

ever seen a UFO that's a random question that's an interesting I've never seen

I've never seen an unidentified flying object so I never I I used to really

believe in aliens but I'm not so sure now

thank you for saying that we're both speaking clearly I used to think that

Steve was an alien hmm mr. Duncan has a beautiful garden to rest and have a cup

of tea definitely interestingly they actually

made a statements and scientists the other day yes

talking of aliens and UFOs that they think squid and octopuses are in fact

aliens who told you this hope is on the news I heard you something no well if

it's on the news it must be true they apparently their genetic makeup is very

different to only any other animal or something I mean you know the news never

lies to us I don't know where they got that from but they seem to think it's

there somehow quite different to the rest of us

people used to say spiders come from outer space don't they wasn't

that David Bowie David Bowie song about spiders from Mars mm-hmm

do you celebrate the wedding of Prince Harry no no I didn't I wasn't invited so

I didn't care less I couldn't have cared less

I wasn't even bothered I didn't even watch it on television because they

didn't invite me so they're they're not coming to my wedding either I'm not

inviting them hello Abdul Malik I haven't seen Abdul Malik before have you

yes Abdul Malik oh I think I think Abdul Malik has been here before

hi I think so unless I'm mistaken do we love cricket I don't think we do

I'm not a fan of cricket I don't follow cricket not at all we will be going very

soon because we have been here for an hour and 20 minutes I've been here for a

very long time and mr. Steve came back around about 20 minutes ago but I would

imagine that you are very tired I need to prepare for tomorrow's performance

because tomorrow is the first night the first night of the performance so it's

the first night tomorrow night so now in show business they never say good look

because good look apparently is bad look so you never wish someone good look

before they go onstage you always say break a leg I don't break a leg break a

leg I dunno where that comes from but I can't remember oh you do know it but

yeah I thought remember I'm an old sort of theatrical superstition oh Seok and I

don't know why they say it but you say break a leg you can say other things as

well but you should never say good luck never say good look to someone who is

about to perform apparently saying good look is bad luck

but it's only amateur dramatics if I say only

we still have to work hard you still have to learn your lines I mean if

you're doing the same play or the same musical as a professional you still have

to put in the same amount of work as a professional does to learn all the lines

and the songs the only difference is that they'll probably do it better than

you because they've probably more talented but you still have to put the

same amount of effort in to learn all the lines as a professional would and of

course the scenery won't look as good and it won't be as slick and the

orchestra won't be as good but for everything else you have to work just as

hard you're not exactly selling this by the

way we do need to sell lots of tickets so if you fancy coming to Wolverhampton

yeah Wolverhampton there Wolverhampton that well-known place that everyone is

leaving it's near Birmingham in the middle of the country in the Midlands

apparently we've got some bad storms coming again tomorrow Oh more flooding

apparently so if you if you are in England well you've probably got time to

catch a plane yeah I think so and even long-distance and you will still be able

to catch tomorrow night's performance so he's the thing you could go online you

can book your ticket now so if you are watching anywhere in the world even if

you caught a plane in around about three or four hours you could still get to

England by tomorrow and then take a train or a bus or a taxi to

Wolverhampton and mr. Steve will be on stage performing and you will be able to

buy a ticket how much are the tickets twelve pounds £12 that's that's

that's actually the same price as a cup of coffee in London so it's not much

really oh it's about in Euros

that's probably about 11 euros or something how many say how many dongs is

it I don't know Vietnamese dongs I think it

will probably a few thousand I think so it's probably in American dollars

what's the exchange rate now for American dollars I think two pounds it's

a it's about one...one 130 I think at the moment okay then so that's probably

all right so there yes it's about Oh blimey my mouth should be able to cope

with that I don't think it really matters actually they're trying to put

it in perspective this this all started out this all started out as a joke

really but somehow Steve's taking it far too seriously I don't think anyone is

going to it's about thirteen dollars American dollars fourteen American

dollars fourteen American dollars fourteen American dollars fourteen

dollars so yes so anyone from South America yes come over I don't think they

have dollars in South America no but I'm just saying though they'll be able to

relate the cost to American dollars I think it's pissah's yes yes it could

wrong be brought that's it so if I said to you it was thirteen American of

course that's the least of your worries it's the flight that's going to cost a

lot of money the flight might be the most expensive part of this transaction

ticket itself is a minor expense suddenly twelve pounds doesn't seem like

much when you think you would have to spend hundreds on actually getting here

by plane then you've got to stay overnight somewhere yes you can't stay

here by the way we've got no room no there's no room now I need I need this

for my studio the only this is where my brother stays in Duncan Studio we clear

it out and we've explained this before and my brother sleeps here it's the only

place anyone can sleep right yes Steve's mom sleeps right here where

we're standing now mr. Steve's mum will be is lying not now we're not standing

on top of mr. Steve's mum for those who are worried not not at the moment but

when she stays here this is where she sleeps she's she's lying here

she doesn't snore mr. Steve's mum snores a lot it's like an old steam engine it's

like an old steam engine murde murde as good-looking homes from the 1800s

when people get to the theaters and carriages to watch a play

the mall murde murde murde I think it's actually murde oh you're the

Spanish one I don't know what that means sucat but thanks for trying to explain

it 44 RS in Brazil there we go Oh a suit so is that I wonder what IRS it well

it's something dollars isn't it yes something dollars so they're using

dollars but they've got a different different name

this all started out just as a joke you know for people who wanted to jump on a

plane fly to England go to Wolverhampton and watch mr. Steve tomorrow night

perform on stage yes Mika I've got to work during the day as I've heard you

need you need to sell a few more tickets don't you we do Mika I am working during

the day I haven't taken the week off and I've got to do this in the evening so

yes I'm going to be quite tired so only my end of the week just not today I'm

going to be very tired indeed Saturday night it's just me in the audience it's

just lots of empty chairs and me now so please fly across I'm trying you see

when you're in the show you have to sell the tickets the only way the tickets get

sold as if the people in the show sell tickets to their friends their family

people that they know so that's predominantly the main way

that we sell tickets so we don't do much advertising predominantly mainly mainly

so I'm now you're all my friends so please buy a ticket and come and see the

show and then I will get the number one spot for suit because they're for

selling the most tickets because we have a competition to see you can sell the

most tickets I tell you the other competition you will win is is is people

who've come the furthest distance yes to see what get me to see this to see the

show because most of the people that go to see the show are or elderly people I

think see what sue Kat saying there that merde is is that is the same phrase

that they use in sue cat's country which is somewhere in South America I think

aren't you sue cat like break a leg leg Oh break a leg so I think Oh actually

cakes merde means oh I think it means manure manure

which is which is cow poo where did you get that from horse poo I think I saw it

actually I think I saw it on the let me just have a quick look here let me have

a look I'm just trying to ever seeing that there it is yes the more there we

go can you see it next to tsukete yes the more merde

Manute manure is that manual no it could be yes I think so

so yeah this has got that run we're gonna look pretty foolish

I've lost the train of thought now does merde a mean horse manure or cow

manure or poop poop from an animal so I think that's I think that might be where

it comes from I think so I might be wrong I'm always willing to be wrong I

don't know everything what I don't understand why people in America are

seeing this well I think people in America will be watching it because it's

early where they are so that might be the reason why and we're live so anybody

awake anywhere in the world at this time oh I see Murray in murder or murder is

actually French murder French for what what does it mean break a leg

yes it might be we need to find out I won't be able to sleep do you ever oh

here's a message from Nicole Steve do you ever get stage fright I'd well stage

fright that is when I don't get stage fright

No so I don't get frightened of going on but sometimes I tell you what throws me

what upsets me hmm on the stage and it happened tonight is that if people don't

know their line so you know all your lines and I was learning my lines and

then but you rely on somebody everybody else to say the right line so that then

you can say the right reply we have a prompt a prompt that's somebody that

sits somewhere out of sight of the stage so that if the actors go wrong she will

shout out or he will shout out the your line for you quickly yes or they forget

they just go yes well what happened tonight is that that I said my line too

to this character mm-hmm out on the stage and he forgot to say his line and

the prompt wasn't concentrating oh no it didn't so we just stood there

so everybody didn't know nobody know exactly but I couldn't say my line

because he hadn't said he's but anyway it was only the dress rehearsal so it

didn't matter but it that's what dress rehearsals are all

about finding out where the weak points are in the show and then so I'll be

ready tomorrow night I was ready for somebody else who never gets their line

right and she didn't tonight either so I just said whatever line I was supposed

to say to keep it going so I'm gonna have to be ready for him tomorrow not to

say his line I'm just gonna say mine anyway so you're going to be prepared

for other people not knowing what they are doing that's right yes that's the

problem because you are relying on other people so if if the other person doesn't

doesn't remember their line then it also makes a mess of Steve's performance as

well so you have to be ready for the hold what silk Jamila says it means oh

it means it means let me just put it on the screen it is manure

OSE so it actually means that's it ah that's it so I understand now suit cat

so the more people arrived and of course people used to in the days before cars

people had would arrive in horses so there were a lot there was lots of horse

dung everywhere and that was good luck because the more people that came to see

it that gets people more excited who are in the play oh I understand now

lovely differences between American and British accent that's a big subject

well there are many differences there are many differences between the accents

spoken here in the UK so accents very all around the world from country to

country or within individual countries you will find that the accents are also

different as well yes there isn't there is no one American accent than there

must be probably half a dozen different American accents probably a lot more

than that and we've got at least well we've got at least ten different accents

in the UK so right yes it's all English though isn't it mr. Duncan English

there's only one English language that that's what I always say there's only

one English language when you're speaking English there's only there's

only one English language and the only differences are accents that's it really

that's it thank it that's it sometimes there are different words for different

things like hood or bonnet but then again with accents in the same country

so even in the UK there are different words for different things depending on

which part of the country you go to so yes it's not just about individual

countries or or lots of countries but yes so you'll find accents can can be

anything really anything anywhere oh that's why sue cat knows that phrase

because her husband of course is a musician and they say that in the

theatre so we say break a leg and over in Argentina you say murdie whether we

pronounce that correctly claudia Balika is a russian secret weapon that did you

see the news tonight Steve Abba liker is an instrument oh is that a balalaika

yes it's like a guitar isn't it it's like as oval sort of shaped guitar you

see a lot of minstrels from from from long past times playing the the balalaika

did you hear there was a very very sort of surreal moment today in in

Ukraine really yes because do you remember the news this morning said that

I a Russian he was a Russian yes I know not politician a Russian journalist

journalist is the world who had been saying some bad things about Russia had

reported he was shot dead in in the Ukraine today

it wasn't it they thought he was dead and yes but he turned up but then they

had an a press conference and then suddenly he walks in and says hi guys

I'm alive how you doing and everyone's going it's a good ghost

yes so we don't we don't know what's happening there but they were trying to

I don't know I think they were trying to catch the people who were trying to

apparently they thought there was a plot to kill him so they were trying to catch

whoever was doing that iesous they were trying to trying to trying to set a trap

set him up but yes we don't get political but apparently yes but that

that was bizarre he was reported as shot dead and then he turned up alive yes

quite dramatic that's real life drama maybe it's a miracle as opposed to the

the fake drama that I'm doing on stage tomorrow a live Russian journalist yes

yes there UK but like a Russian stringed musical instrument yes

with characteristic triangular body in three strings

it has a very beautiful sound is very almost haunting the sound of the

balalaika Bala Lala balalaika yes in the premiere when the new play of the

theatre is opened so the high society came to see it in carriages out and some

cases oh I see so so more horse poo outside the theatre means that more

people came to see it so that's good that's good luck yeah that's what that's

what sue meant I must remember that at the

next wedding that I go to I will throw lots of horse poo at the bride and say

oh it's good look don't worry it's good look it's good look honestly what was

the word again murder bar we are we pronouncing that correctly we might

saying it probably it's like saying yes murder yes we couldn't shouldn't keep

saying that because obviously it's a rude word in French that means excrement

yes all right I've just shown it on the on the screen we keep saying the word

not realising what we're saying yes but but only French people will know that we

are saying that yes pussy so that's what we're actually saying

now these MN prh we are talking about horse poop we are unfortunately once

again we have plummeted to the depths of talking about poo how long have you been

performing Steve asks Mika well I've been I've actually this is my 11th year

I've only been doing it for 11 years actually doing stage work I've been in

choirs for a much longer than that but actually appearing in shows only for the

last 11 years and I do I think I probably should yes weird it's weird to

see the French spider-man saving a child dangling on the balcony yes he's been

rewarded I think has neighbour citizenship can I just kind of just

point something out here I I know what spider-man looks like he wasn't

spider-man he didn't have that that that costume that he wears and he wasn't he

didn't spin anyway I didn't see any webs I didn't see him swinging from building

to building like in the movies so I I don't think it was spider-man to be

honest I think he was pretending pretending to be spider-man

he was certainly yeah well he was certainly very good at rescuing that

child use tyann says hello Duncan I am from Baotou inner Mongolia and now I'm living in Liverpool using hello to you and yes I

used to live in Baotou in China I did I live there for over four years

what so hello to you Jing somebody from Baotou someone from Baotou who

now lives in Liverpool that's incredible it's incredible yes I used to have to

work there I won't do they know do they know what that you used to work in Baotou

aye well I've just told them they know now but did they know before I

don't know I'm not sure I I can't I my my powers of reading minds it was

somebody you've taught in as small years ago maybe that would be incredible yes

it would be very incredible oh there's more details do you know mr. Duncan how

would be blown away by it he's not the French spider-man he's a

refugee ok Thank You Rosa for that thank you yes I yes he was very brave to climb

copyright so so mr. Steve might be in prison this time tomorrow night for for

going against someone's copyright somebody that's new Victoria hello

American countries watching us on a Wednesday

in fact in fact I had a message the other day from I think it was from Pedro

saying I don't know why I prefer your Wednesday night live streams I don't

know why so yes Wednesday is very different from Sunday

so Sunday is more formal whereas Wednesday is more free and open yes look

somebody from Colombia all over South American continent hello to Colombia I'm

learning English please excuse me I am a beginner I am a newbie from Colombia Ari

andna there are no song Ariadna Cardozo oh very nice we are all

Brazilian Cardoza Cardoza Cardoza oh yes okay I would say that's

great I don't know whether you roll the R's in in Colombia no they're doing

parts of Spain do you roll your R's be sure that you have me be sure that you

have great respect from my part about your performance mr. Steve I really do

feel the theatre as a high level of socialisation or socialising among

people Thank You Carlos for that it does Carlos and that's what I enjoy about it

is that there's lots of friendly people who are Lively and you always guaranteed

of lots of conversation and a good night out and that's why that's why I join

these because I like to so you know a little bit of socialising is good for

you and that gets me out and it gets me socialising and I think that's quite

important to do that and I do enjoy it theatre people are fun and yeah it's

great I do enjoy even though some of them are quite mad most of them are mad

a completely bonkers you think I'm crazy want to see some of the people he he

performs with they are completely nuts they are because I think if you're

involved in some kind of performing arts performing arts like acting

singing something like that then I think you you've got to be a bit strange to do

it but I used to be a choir you know the

strangest people in the choir were primary school teachers they were all

complete lunatics teachers teachers teachers can be very eccentric it's true

I think the job the job will eventually drive all people who decide to take up

the the teaching profession it drives them all completely mad Saudi Arabia we've got

somebody from Saudi Arabia hello to Saudi Arabia yes l'm using by

the way came to the UK for studying four years ago I was risk I was searching for

some information about Baotou on YouTube and at the time I subscribed to Duncan's
