04:56
news recently that there is a certain virus going around at the moment so I've
11
296240
7679
05:03
decided to protect myself and yes I have literally self isolated myself out in
12
303919
9331
05:13
the wilderness of Shropshire where am i I am in the middle of a large forest it
13
313250
7289
05:20
is a very windy day so I am slightly worried to see if one of these trees
14
320539
8071
05:28
will fall on my head whilst I'm doing my livestream anyway here we go I hope you
15
328610
6179
05:34
are doing well I'm on I'm on a walk I'm taking a walk in the countryside very
16
334789
6180
05:40
close to where I live I hope you are ok as you can see I have my big stick do
17
340969
6991
05:47
you like my big stick you must always carry a very large stick when you are
18
347960
8100
05:56
walking around the countryside just in case you fall over now this particular
19
356060
5609
06:01
stick can come in very useful for many things you see you can use this for many
20
361669
6480
06:08
things it can help you to walk on an even ground and also it can save your
21
368149
9031
06:17
life if you get stuck somewhere you can use it to pull your way out of maybe a
22
377180
7579
06:24
small space where you are stuck so you can use this to pry yourself out of a
23
384759
7930
06:32
tight situation you could also break it if you fall over and if you injure your
24
392689
7111
06:39
leg you can use this stick as a splint splint so when we say
25
399800
7630
06:47
splint it means something that you can use to keep a person's arm or maybe
26
407430
6600
06:54
their leg straight so the bone does not break anymore it can stop maybe
27
414030
7410
07:01
something serious from happening to you if you I don't know if you fall over and
28
421440
5550
07:06
injure your leg or maybe you injure your arm you can use a splint splint so I
29
426990
8790
07:15
will throw this away now I don't think I need this anymore but I will keep it
30
435780
5100
07:20
nearby just in case so excuse me I just need to get rid of my big stick

440880

6331
08:26
head so as you can see above my head there are lots of trees and also you

506550
6989
08:33
might be able to see that they are blowing all over the place they are
40
513539
5761
08:39
blowing around because it is a little bit windy today we have a lot of wind
41
519300
7560

42
526860
6900
08:53
guy as well a lot of lovely blue sky above my head right now yes I am talking
43
533760
8220
09:01
to you live live from live from a forest in the middle of the countryside as you
44
541980
9240
09:11
know I live in a rural area when we say the word rural it means a place in the
45
551220
7470
09:18
countryside quite often amongst trees fields
46
558690
5120
09:23
normally there are farms nearby like round here for instance around here
47
563810
7840
09:31
there are lots of farms and lots of animals except there aren't many around
48
571650
8940
09:40
here having said that during the spring
49
580590
3510
09:44
months you can often find deer roaming around this area so the area I'm
50
584100
6390
09:50
standing in at the moment quite often you will get deer walking around
51
590490
5960
09:56
wandering around trying to find food so who knows we might be lucky today we
52
596450
6340
10:02
might actually see a deer wandering around however they are just like me
53
602790
7860
10:10
they are very shy and very timid so maybe not I hope you are doing well how
54
610650
7860
10:18
are you coping with the current situation concerning the coronavirus yes
55
618510
6030
10:24
I know a very serious situation taking place including here in the UK in the
56
624540
5430
10:29
area where I live there are now two confirmed cases so not very far away
57
629970
5820
10:35
from where I live in Shropshire so now there are two confirmed cases of
58
635790
7730
10:43
coronavirus and that is one of the reasons why I changed my mind
59
643520
5290
10:48
I was going to go into town to do a live stream from the town square
60
648810
7500
10:56
however I decided to change my mind and instead I'm doing it here here in the
61
656310
6240
11:02
middle in the middle of nowhere I have all this space around me so much
62
662550
8860
11:11
space I love it I love living in the countryside I really do a lot of people
63
671410
9390
11:20
say mr. Duncan don't you get bored staying in the countryside
64
680800
4560
11:25
I never feel bored living out here I love it I think it's the most amazing
65
685360
5940
11:31
place in the world today we will be talking about reality and I thought it
66
691300
7050
11:38
was a good subject because there are lots of words that we can use to talk
67
698350
4770
11:43
about reality and I suppose at the moment you might say that it reality
68
703120
6300
11:49
right now is very strange a very strange period of time that we
69
709420
6810
11:56
are living through at the moment so I thought I would talk about that hello to
70
716230
6690
12:02
the live chat once again hello also highly quang hello to Ana
71
722920
6360
12:09
Rita hello Ana Rita I haven't seen you for a long time it is not exactly
72
729280
5970
12:15
quarantine but I must stay at home and I can't go to the grocery shop or the
73
735250
6540
12:21
pharmacy when it is necessary yes I have seen this morning on the news that other
74
741790
8340
12:30
countries are now joining in with the self-isolation so if a person is feeling
75
750130
6930
12:37
unwell they have been told that they must stay in isolation they must keep
76
757060
6630
12:43
themselves away from other people and that's why I'm here today in the middle
77
763690
5550
12:49
of the countryside because I'm far away from anyone else there is no one around
78
769240
6390
12:55
me however you might be able to hear the wind
79
775630
5110
13:00
blowing because it is a very windy day so I'm just wondering whether I'm
80
780740
6690
13:07
standing in the right place maybe one of these trees will come down and hit me on
81
787430
5880
13:13
the head I hope not so here in the UK yes things are slowly
82
793310
5010
13:18
getting worse people are starting to panic I don't want to talk too much
83
798320
5340
13:23
about this today but I will mention it if you want to talk about it li'l says
84
803660
6780
13:30

816320
6000
13:42

6330
13:48

88
828650
5840
13:54
free to roam and walk around and watch the wildlife as well today I am part of
89
834490
10390
14:04
the wildlife so maybe there is a squirrel up in one of the trees watching
90
844880
6840
14:11
me right now wondering what I'm doing thinking what is that strange man doing
91
851720
7320
14:19

92
859040
4860
14:23
to myself I am now live on YouTube okay so there hello to everyone I know we
93
863900
6570
14:30
probably won't have many people watching because this is a special livestream I
94
870470
5790
14:36
thought I would do one today because I did one last week as well if you
95
876260
4140
14:40
remember ed Gunn ed goon Lopez says a beautiful place I guess the air smells
96
880400
8280
14:48

888680
5820
14:54

98
894500
7710
15:02
moment where I'm standing all I can smell is garlic in the air so everything
99
902210
6180
15:08

100
908390
5929
15:14
garlic growing in the wild and there is some here right next to me I will show
101
914319
7210
15:21

102
921529
3470
15:29
here it is so this is wild garlic and it grows all around here and later in the
103
929470
8400
15:37
month there will be lots of beautiful white flowers appearing on the garlic so
104
937870
7260
15:45
there you can see some lovely garlic oh oh my goodness that is so nice for those
105
945130
10770
15:55
who like garlic you can probably imagine the smell that I'm experiencing right
106
955900
6360
16:02
now it's beautiful and did you know you can also put this in soup as well so you
107
962260
8280
16:10
can use wild garlic in soup and some people use it as garnish on their salads
108
970540
7410
16:17
the word garnish means something that you add on top of food to make it look
109
977950
7140
16:25
more attractive wild garlic and I love the smell and also the taste of garlic I
110
985090
9900
16:34
know that some people don't like it I know some people hate the smell of
111
994990
4410
16:39
garlic however I really like it hello to the live chat don't worry I haven't
112
999400
6090
16:45
forgotten you Fung do Chung says garlic can prevent us from becoming ill yes
113
1005490
7290
16:52
it's true a lot of people believe that if you eat garlic it can actually
114
1012780
4680
16:57
protect your body from various things so yes I I think that garlic is quite good
115
1017460
7680
17:05

117
1034640
7000
17:21
Maria yes cancer can be prevented in certain
118
1041640
5490
17:27
cases or maybe it can be used as part of your lifestyle so I don't think I don't
119
1047130
6510
17:33
think garlic will prevent you from getting cancer but maybe if you use
120
1053640
4290
17:37
garlic along with your healthy lifestyle I would imagine it can help it can be
121
1057930
7530
17:45
beneficial can I can I tell you a funny story this is connected with coronavirus
122
1065460
7320
17:52
by the way mr. Steve this morning went out to work but before he left the house
123
1072780
5670
17:58
he realized that he had no hand sanitizer so he had actually run out you
124
1078450
8430
18:06
can see I have my hand sanitizer here to keep my hands nice and clean however mr.
125
1086880
6810
18:13
Steve this morning realized he didn't have his so can you guess what Steve did
126
1093690
7460
18:21
you're not going to believe what Steve did this morning
127
1101150
4080
18:25
so he got the empty bottle of hand sanitizer so his bottle was empty he had
128
1105230
7330
18:32
none left so instead he put vodka into the bottle
129
1112560
7860
18:40
instead so he actually went to work this morning with a small bottle of vodka in
130
1120420
6540
18:46
his hand so during the day he is going to use vodka to clean his hands because
131
1126960
8370
18:55
at the moment he hasn't got any hand sanitizer can you believe that does it
132
1135330
8880
19:04
work I don't know I have a feeling mr. Steve might be drinking some of it as
133
1144210
4470
19:08
well that's what I think I hope not because he's driving so unfortunately
134
1148680
4830
19:13
mr. Steve's job will take him near people who may be ill so he has to be
135
1153510
6330
19:19
extra careful he has to be very careful where he goes and who he has contact
136
1159840
7230
19:27
with vittor oh hello Vittorio Vittorio is here on the live chat this is very
137
1167070
8420
19:35
different today because I'm outside on a cold windy but sunny day it's sunny
138
1175490
10180
19:45
today are you having a good day I really hope so
139
1185670
4650
19:50
don't forget I am back tomorrow as well for those who are wondering why
140
1190320
4800
19:55
here it's okay I will be here tomorrow as well um my usual livestream from my
141
1195120
7620
20:02
lovely warm cozy studio however however but look we have we have some words
142
1202740
8930
20:11
today to look at now I was going to try and use this can you see that is it
143
1211670
7720
20:19
clear so I was thinking of using this today to show the words so today we are
144
1219390
6390
20:25
talking about reality reality it is a great word and it is a word that comes
145
1225780
7170
20:32
up quite often at the moment because we often talk about the things that are
146
1232950
4650
20:37
real the things that are fake the things that are true the things that are untrue
147
1237600
8720
20:46
however the basic definition of reality is what we see around us the things we
148
1246320
8290
20:54
experience in the present moment so as I stand here in front of you I know that I
149
1254610
6990
21:01
am standing in a forest so I am surrounded by trees I can hear the birds
150
1261600
7520
21:09
singing in the distance I can also hear some of the trees creaking as the wind
151
1269120
7660
21:16
blows them from side to side so my reality is this this that is happening
152
1276780
10560
21:27
around me and you are sharing my reality so your reality is now part of my
153
1287340
9060
21:36
reality and vice versa so your reality is experiencing me talking to you from
154
1296400
7920
21:44
my reality so everything you see now is real it is true it isn't fake it isn't
155
1304320
8010
21:52
made up it is absolutely true it is real hello once again - hi
156
1312330
9030
22:01
Lee Kwang hello a man what does mr. Steve work as and does he live with you
157
1321360
6840
22:08
at the housed a man yes mr. Steve does live
158
1328200
5070
22:13
with me you are right correct and his job well I
159
1333270
5820
22:19
won't give all the details of his job but let's just say he spends a lot of
160
1339090
6120
22:25
his time in places where there are sick people or people who are feeling unwell
161
1345210
7160
22:32
hello to Martha in Poland Martha Poland is here thank you very
162
1352370
5020
22:37
much for joining me so can you see that on the screen now I hope you can read it
163
1357390
5100
22:42
reality we are talking all about reality so reality is the present moment the
164
1362490
8490
22:50
things we experience quite often we refer to reality as something that is
165
1370980
5460
22:56
happening without warning or maybe something that is happening
166
1376440
5280
23:01
spontaneously so you might say that something is spontaneous for example
167
1381720
7200
23:08
this is spontaneous so I didn't plan this I didn't know I was going to stand
168
1388920
8520
23:17
here in the forest I was going to go into town and do my live stream from
169
1397440
5430
23:22
there however because of certain things that I'm sure you are aware of we can't
170
1402870
7470
23:30
do that so instead I'm here however this is real it is live this is literally
171
1410340
8630
23:38
reality you can see reality happening right now on your screens there it is
172
1418970
5860
23:44
over there most people think that reality generally is boring maybe an
173
1424830
11040
23:55
empty room that spends all of its time secluded and abandoned might be
174
1435870
8700
24:04
described as boring however it is also reality so what you can see around me is
175
1444570
7620
24:12
happening right now it is all real it is reality
176
1452190

24:17
hello to all hello Luis Mendez Luis Mendez how are things in
177
1457010
6010
24:23
I believe things have become a little serious there as well including Germany
178
1463020
5490
24:28
is well I noticed on the news last night people were talking about Germany things
179
1468510
5310
24:33
are happening there now so a lot of things going on
180
1473820
5150
24:38
why mr. Steve does not work at home as many people are doing asks Theo
181
1478970
7060
24:46
well mr. Steve unfortunately he has to work by traveling around to different
182
1486030
8550
24:54
places in the area so unfortunately mr. Steve's job is very hard to do from home
183
1494580
6360
25:00
however sometimes he can work from home so there are people at the moment who
184
1500940
7140
25:08
have decided to stay at home however they are still able they can still do
185
1508080
6870
25:14
their job a bit like me really so because my work involves just me and
186
1514950
8540
25:23
because most of my work happens at home it means that I can stay at home and
187
1523490
6970
25:30
still work so there is a chance that I might be the only person left in the UK
188
1530460
7890
25:38
who is still doing a job who knows hello to everybody Rakesh
189

6179
25:59

192
1559679
7971
26:07
I've just realised it's very cold by the way if you are wondering why there are
193
1567650
6760
26:14
no captions on the live stream it's because I am
194
1574410
4110
26:18

195
1578520
5340
26:23
at the moment and I hope you can hear me and see me clearly so we are talking all
196
1583860
7530
26:31
about reality today there are many ways and
197
1591390
3290
26:34
words that we can use to talk about reality we can say that something is
198
1594680
7170
26:41
real a real thing something that you know is not fake something that you know
199
1601850
7560
26:49
is definitely real quite often we talk about real things as things that give us
200
1609410
7230
26:56
some sort of emotional response so we often think that the more we feel
201
1616640
6840
27:03
something the realer or more real it is I think so
202
1623480
7100
27:10
Ed Gein says my reality is that I must go to work at the office because I need
203
1630580
6790
27:17
the money like we say in Mexico let's go to chase the chalk I like that one let's
204
1637370
8040
27:25
go to chase the chalk here we call it the rat race so when we say that you
205
1645410
6180
27:31
have to go to work and you have to earn a living we say the rat race so everyone
206
1651590
6030
27:37
else is going out there to try and earn some money they are all part of the rat
207
1657620
9240
27:46
race Wow that was a very big gust of wind did you

6120
27:52
see that it's getting rather windy here nice to see you all here today
209
1672980
7290
28:00
so things that have an emotional response or things that give us an
210
1680270
4410
28:04
emotional response are normally things that we see as real or we judged them as
211
1684680
6720
28:11

7830
32:17

1943750
9120

252
1970179
4531
32:54
welcome back at a big new house to China a lot of people watching in China quite
253
1974710
5939
33:00
a few people are getting over the Great Firewall of China so here we are another
254
1980649
9091
33:09
word connected to reality realism realism
255
1989740
5069
33:14
now realism is a very interesting word and normally it will show the fact that
256
1994809
7651
33:22
something is being made to appear real so you have realism realism
257
2002460
9390
33:31
so maybe there is a painting that you see in a in an art gallery so you might
258
2011850
5850
33:37
see a beautiful painting and it looks very real so something that has realism
259
2017700
8849
33:46
is something that looks real it looks as if you can reach out and touch it
260
2026549
7490
33:54
something that is very real we talked about realism quite often in art we will
261
2034039
7301
34:01
talk about realism so the way in which art is used to create the illusion of
262
2041340
7549
34:08
reality so again another interesting word realism realism maybe you go to the
263
2048889
9101
34:17
cinema to see the latest movie maybe you have gone to the cinema to see maybe the
264
2057990
6060
34:24
new Star Wars film or maybe you've been to see whatever the latest movie is that
265
2064050
7770
34:31
people are watching I'm sure at least one of the movies at the moment will be
266
2071820
4440
34:36
a superhero movie because they always are always are nowadays don't you think
267
2076260
6590
34:42
so maybe you go to the cinema and maybe you put on your 3d glasses so you can
268
2082850
7000
34:49
see the movie in a completely different way so perhaps you might describe 3d as
269
2089850
8480
34:58
realism it provides a certain amount of realism because the thing you are
270
2098330
6640
35:04
looking at on the screen looks as if it's real so there is a certain amount
271
2104970
6300
35:11
of realism realism something that is realistic something that looks real and
272
2111270
9349
35:20
something that gives you the feeling of reality as I said just quite often we we
273
2120619
7240
35:27
see reality as something that gives us a certain feel a certain emotion so the
274
2127859
7891
35:35
more real something is the more we feel it we feel
275
2135750
6340
35:42
the realism and yes over the years in art people have tried to recreate
276
2142090
9530
35:51
realism they've tried to make their paintings or maybe their photographs or
277
2151620
8080
35:59
maybe the way they design something to make it look realistic realistic
278
2159700
6560
36:06
here's another word I like this word if something is real we might describe it
279
2166260
6850
36:13
as genuine a genuine thing something that is genuine a genuine article
280
2173110
9060
36:22
or a genuine thing something that is real we can describe as genuine may be a
281
2182170
9300
36:31
person you might meet a person in your life who is very genuine they are a
282
2191470
8010
36:39
person who you can trust you believe what they say there are they are a
283
2199480
5610
36:45
person who is always sincere so you might describe a person as genuine mr.
284
2205090
7380
36:52
Duncan we like your English lessons because you seem so genuine genuine I
285
2212470
8340
37:00
like that word so something genuine is something that is real real it is
286
2220810
7590
37:08
something that you see as being real ed Gann says now we have products like home
287
2228400
9660

8709
39:54
reality actual actual so when we are talking about things that are actual
310
2394109
7831
40:01
well maybe we are talking about something specific or something that is
311
2401940
6389
40:08
in a certain way so the actual thing however we often also use actual when we
312
2408329
9030
40:17
are talking about a real event something that has
313
2417359
3391
40:20
and in reality it is actual it has happened it is an actual event actual so
314
2420750
11820
40:32
when we say actual we are saying real a real instance a real occurrence Rolfie
315
2432570
9680
40:42
hello Rolfie welcome to the middle of nowhere I am self isolating I am staying
316
2442250
9400
40:51
away from all other human beings so I've decided to come outside into one of the
317
2451650
6990
40:58
many forests that are near my house I hope you are enjoying today's livestream
318
2458640
6560
41:05
we are looking at some words connected with reality mr. Duncan please be
319
2465200
7150
41:12
careful because of the wild animals can I just say fortunately fortunately
320
2472350
7110
41:19
around here there are no animals that might eat me there are no dangerous
321
2479460
6420
41:25
animals around here in fact perhaps the only dangerous animal around here is me
322
2485880
5190
41:31
a human being you see did you see what I did there human beings sometimes we are
323
2491070
9750
41:40
a real pain in the ass tangible oh I like this word tangible
324
2500820
7910
41:48
tangible if something is tangible it means it can be touched so I suppose the
325
2508730
8200
41:56
ultimate form of reality must be touching things something you can touch
326
2516930
7170
42:04
with your hand it is it is real I can feel it there it is it is something that
327
2524100
6240
42:10
is real it is also something that can be touched or something that can be
328
2530340
8640
42:18
understood very clearly to the point where it seems as if I can touch it
329
2538980
6350
42:25
something that is tangible something you can touch with your hand
330
2545330
6460
42:31
Silvia hello Sylvia how are you today here in Italy we are facing a difficult
331
2551790
5110
42:36
time with coronavirus I am from the north of Italy yes the situation is is
332
2556900
8160
42:45
quite bad in the north of Italy so please Silvia stay safe if you don't
333
2565060
5970
42:51
feel well stay at home and that's the best advice I think besides washing your
334
2571030
7350
42:58
hands keep your hands nice and clean just like I do you can wash your hands
335
2578380
7650
43:06
under hot water with soap for about 20 or 30 seconds or you can use this lovely
336
2586030
7710
43:13
hand sanitizer to keep yourself nice and clean as well yes a very strange time at
337
2593740
7170
43:20
the moment people are preventing coronavirus so what we are trying to do
338
2600910
5850
43:26
is prevent the spread of coronavirus here in the UK most people are carrying
339
2606760
8250
43:35
on with their lives as usual so here in the UK most things haven't changed many
340
2615010

359
2752740
6660
45:59
I am in the forest talking to you live I'm not joking we are talking about
360
2759400
8490
46:07
words and I am showing you some words connected to reality things that we see
361
2767890
7409
46:15
as real things that we can see with our eyes quite often we will trust our eyes
362
2775299
8091
46:23
so something we can see quite often we will believe so if you see something
363
2783390
7090
46:30
happening in real life normally you will say that that is reality
364
2790480
8339
46:38
it is real I can see it with my eyes however sometimes your eyes can be
365
2798819
6871
46:45
tricked your eyes can be tricked into seeing something that isn't really there
366
2805690
5220
46:50
I think so so here's another one true something
367
2810910
6470
46:57
true is something that is real maybe something you say that is real or
368
2817380
6920
47:04
something you see that can be believed is true true something is true true a
369
2824300
10240
47:14
true person a true friend someone who is real they are a real person true when
370
2834540
11190
47:25
you say something we can say it is true Sylvia says we can't go out sallied we
371
2845730
11670
47:37
are forced to stay at home the schools are closed as well bars and commercial
372
2857400
5550
47:42
activities are closed unfortunately we are still working I hope it will pass
373
2862950
6419
47:49
soon says still via watching in Italy it would appear that Italy is one of the
374
2869369
6571
47:55
worst affected places at the moment in Europe including also France as well
375
2875940
7169
48:03
I've had quite a few cases of coronavirus Lea Julia hello Lea Julia
376
2883109
7941
48:11
welcome to my live chat the forest is the best place to be a great place for a
377
2891050
7450
48:18
picnic away from the coronavirus Thank You Rolf II I suppose it is there is no
378
2898500
5670
48:24
one here I'm on my own I am secluded I am standing here in
379
2904170
6530
48:30
complete isolation I am alone but not lonely so I am alone but I'm not lonely
380
2910700
12340
48:43
because I have you to keep me company so something that is real is factual so
381
2923040
9630
48:52
maybe a piece of information something that is definitely true can be described
382
2932670
5370
48:58
as factual it is real it is factual so if you watch a TV show
383
2938040
9180
49:07
maybe it is a documentary about real things or real events we can describe it
384
2947220
6480
49:13
as factual something is factual it is based on real things or real events
385
2953700
9630
49:23
things that have happened in reality factual a type of story or maybe a type
386
2963330
9150
49:32
of documentary talking about something that really happened factual something
387
2972480
6960
49:39
is real like this this is real so what you are looking at now is not it's not
388
2979440
7650
49:47
CGI honestly I'm really I'm really here in the forest would you like me to prove
389
2987090
6600
49:53
it I will go over there and show you that this is reality
390
2993690
6350
50:17
so now you can see it is real all of this is real it's really happening

395
3040120
7940
50:48
real we often describe reality and also the present time as the here and now so
396
3048060
13780
51:01
you will often hear people describe reality or maybe this present moment as
397
3061840
5630
51:07

52:18
noise behind me that is actually the trees blowing in the distance the wind
407
3138550
6450

52:36
been here for nearly 52 minutes and fortunately a tree has not fallen on
409
3156190
8639
52:44
me yet we can also say of the moment something that is current something that
410
3164829
11821
52:56
is happening right now can be described as being of the moment maybe something
411
3176650
6119
53:02
that is real maybe something that is happening at this time can be described
412
3182769
5760
53:08
of the moment of the moment can you describe the thing that you are holding
413
3188529
10141
53:18
in your hand you mean this this is called a folder so this this is
414
3198670
6659
53:25
basically a folder and normally you will put paper inside this folder so we will
415
3205329
8220
53:33
describe this particular thing as a folder folder something you can put
416
3213549
7320
53:40
things in to keep them safe and secure so I have my pieces of paper you can
417
3220869
8400
53:49
side this plastic folder so I hope that helps you I hope that helps you
418
3229269
7220
53:56
something that is happening right now is of the moment it is happening right now
419
3236489
5770
54:02
something that is current as well we can use the word current to describe
420
3242259
6060
54:08
something that is happening right now I will be going soon I think I will be
421
3248319
5131
54:13
going because I'm getting cold my hands are starting to turn blue because even
422
3253450
6629
54:20
though the Sun is out it is actually quite common today could you spell that
423
3260079
8690
54:28
blue object I can f o l d e r folder folder so when you fold something you
424
3268769
19010
54:47
cut it in a folder folder so they are very useful for keeping things safe
425
3287779
6901
54:54
especially documents pieces of paper things that you want to keep safe and
426
3294680
5490
55:00
also in order so this is coming in very useful today this has been very useful
427
3300170
6089
55:06
because it's windy so I can keep my paper in this folder it is a place where
428
3306259
8790
55:15
you keep documents you keep them safe you keep them out of harm's way
429
3315049
6770
55:21
or here it stops my paper from blowing away in the wind because it's so windy
430
3321819
8831
55:30

432
3335660
4829
55:40

9510
55:49

434
3349999
6421
55:56
Friday I hope you will have a good Thursday and I hope to see you on Friday
435
3356420
7169
56:03
it would be lovely mr. Duncan asks pachu what is fake news well fake news is
436
3363589
9780
56:13
something that has been mentioned a lot recently by politicians around the world
437
3373369
5970
56:19
it is something that has become a trend amongst those who are trying to remove
438
3379339
7821
56:27
responsibility from themselves or maybe something they are trying to cover or
439
3387160
6040
56:33
sometimes there is actually fake news so sometimes things are reported that
440
3393200
9000
56:42
aren't real or maybe things are manipulated so maybe something that
441
3402200
6960
56:49
appears to be one thing is actually a another especially in politics so you
442
3409160
9030
56:58
might have noticed recently in the United States there has been a lot of
443
3418190
5040
57:03
fake news concerning the politics of the United States but also over here as well
444
3423230
6840
57:10
in the UK some people talk about fake news here so fake is the opposite of
445
3430070
7620
57:17
real something that's fake is unreal untrue false it is not something that is
446
3437690
12060
57:29
real fake news so that's the reason why people say fake news because it is
447
3449750
7410
57:37
something that isn't true maybe a piece of information that is being talked
448
3457160
5670
57:42
about or something that is mentioned in the public domain quite often on social
449
3462830
8160
57:50
media so social media you will find a lot of fake things a lot of fake news
450
3470990
8060
57:59

58:07

452
3487460
9380
58:16
company a limited company that is public so PLC public limited company
453
3496840
11940
58:32
there are are there any fake men I'm not sure about that you might describe a
454
3512069
7421
58:39
person who is insincere so maybe a person who is insincere maybe they say
455
3519490
8280
58:47
things they don't mean maybe they are untrue you might say that a person is
456
3527770
8660
58:56
fake their character is fake but not me by the way I'm never fake this is what
457
