31 Days of Learning English - 8th October - improve your English - MISTAKES / TIME IDIOMS - day 8

let us go back in time... six years back to this date in 2013 hi everybody

hi everybody welcome and good morning here we are it's day eight of 31 days of

'dunctober' and Here I am right back where I started last Tuesday sitting at

my breakfast table having some breakfast I've got my cereal I have my cup of tea

I have some milk to go with my tea I have my spread cheese I have my toast in

the kitchen it's still in the toaster toasting that's what a toasted as you

see it toasts it likes to toast toast could everybody

stop saying toast I'm often asked if I like technology you know those modern

gadgets and gizmos we all seem to have in our banks and pockets these days if

there is one thing I have learned about video making and being a presence on the

Internet it's that you need to stay up-to-date

with all the technological changes the big thing now of course is smart mobile

tech from the sophisticated smart phones right up to the very latest tablet

devices if you are using the net to view or produce you need to be tech savvy the

word savvy means to be familiar and competent with something to have

knowledge and know-how means you are savvy

I hope you enjoyed that that was believe it or not

six years ago meanwhile here right now welcome to day 8 of 31 days of October

and of course learning English

yes we have made it all the way to day eight hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in

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

well are you happy I really really hope so welcome to a very special day well

first of all it is Tuesday also it is a rather interesting day today because

this particular day is Ada Lovelace day and I'm sure now one or two of you are

asking who is Ada Lovelace well a little bit later on I will tell you all about

this lady and the reason why today is her day that coming up later on also

something to mention I had a very strange message come through on my phone

last night urging me to update my iPhone to the new

operating system apparently it is iOS 13 now I have heard some rumors I have

heard some people complain about the new version of iOS for the iPhone so I'm

wondering if you have actually updated your iPhone yet to the new iOS system 13

so I haven't updated I'm still using one of the old versions of 12 so my phone

keeps telling me please can you update your phone to the latest iOS so I don't

really know what to do I feel a little cautious let's just say I feel slightly

cautious of dating the software on my iPhone that coming a little bit later on

if you want to get involved of course we have the live chat as well hello to all

the live chatters thank you very much for joining me today how wonderful to

see you all yeah congratulations to everyone thank

you for giving me your time today of course the reason why I'm here is very

simple every day I am with you during October 31 days of live English during

October 2019 Monday to Friday 2 p.m. UK time Saturday 12 just after midday and

on Sunday 2 p.m. UK time as well so that is when I'm on yes 31 days of October

means 31 days of learning English with me mr. Duncan and the reason why I'm

doing this is simple because I have been on YouTube for almost not quite almost

13 years and my actual celebration takes place on the 31st of October it's nice

to see so many people on the livestream hello - morose hello - 10-year high

tenure thank you for saying hello yeah man

hello yeah man Darwish I like your name any name that has the word wish inside

it is pretty good as far as I'm concerned

Louie Louie says hello mr. Duncan hello everyone and of course hello to all the

moderators of course the moderators will be here keeping an eye on the live chat

to make sure everything goes smoothly accent hello accent nice to see you here

and thank you very much for all of your lovely little messages that you keep

leaving on my videos and it's nice to hear that you appreciate what I'm doing

during October don't forget everything I do here I do it for free

I actually charge nothing so you can watch all of my lessons

you can join me on the live chat and it is all free of charge

however mmm however if you would like to make a donation you are more than

welcome to do so because I put a lot of time and effort into making these videos

and also the live lessons especially during October so if you want to make a

donation you can to help my work continue forever and ever and ever

looking outside the window today oh let's have a look outside shall we first

of all let's go into the distance there you can see it is a slightly murky day

once again very similar to yesterday yesterday's weather was a pretty

unsettled but this morning when I woke up the Sun was out it was really bright

and cheerful but now you can see there is a bit just a little bit of a mist

there is some mist in the distance another view ah

can you see autumn is definitely on the way you can see there in my garden now

that is a view of my damson tree and you can see that the leaves are already

starting to turn and the reason for that is simple autumn has started we are now

into autumn and it really does feel like autumn has arrived

certainly the last couple of days it has been chilly quite windy and quite

unusual weather in some respects because we've also had a lot of rain now we

don't normally have a lot of rain during autumn but this autumn has been very wet

so far I don't know why but we seem to be getting a lot of low pressure flying

over the UK and normally when you have low pressure it means

you have lots of rain and wind so autumn has officially arrived right

now here in the UK I don't know what the weather is like where you are because

I'm not there unfortunately I have received a very interesting question so

this is something I'm going to answer now if you don't mind is it ok here are

three words you can see them on the screen now I am holding them in my hand

fly float and also flee and you will notice the spelling so this particular

word does not refer to the tiny insect that jumps around the spelling is

actually different so I've been asked to explain the differences between fly

float and also flee well first of all fly means to move in a certain direction

through the sky or to move from one place to another whilst in the air so

you fly so the action of going in a certain direction whilst airborne is fly

so an aeroplane for example will fly you might fly from one city to another you

take off in a plane and you fly you move through the sky in a certain direction

you will notice that birds fly so quite often as well normally there is some

sort of movement involved so of course when a bird is flying it will flap its

wings so a bird will flap its wings and in an aeroplane of course you have a

mechanical engine which moves a propeller or in modern jet aeroplanes of

course you have lots of fans that push the air

through the engine so fly is to move through the sky in a certain direction

float now float is a little different float normally means that you move

gradually through the sky and quite often it means also that you are not

using any propulsion or any type of mechanism to propel you through the sky

so fly and float are actually different so you might see a balloon a hot-air

balloon float by it is just being carried on the wind or on the breeze I

suppose another word you could use is glide Glide so you float or maybe glide

it means you use the air to stay in the sky you float so maybe a feather that

has been caught by a breeze will float by so to move in a certain direction

gradually quite often without any means of propulsion unless of course it is

being carried by the wind so float you float by maybe a person who goes by your

house slowly might float by even though they

are not in the sky they are on the ground so something that moves gradually

we can also say that it floats maybe a ghost is in your house and it is

floating it is floating around the house it is moving gradually and maybe it is

not on the floor it is not standing on the floor it is

floating above you and finally this word flee now flee has a very different

meaning from first two words so flee means to move

away quickly or to escape in a hurry or to move in a certain direction from one

thing towards another you flee so you move away very quickly you flee maybe a

prisoner escapes from the police station they will flee they flee in a certain

direction so they run away they escape normally on foot so you might flee on

foot that means you run away or you might

flee in a vehicle so you might drive away from somewhere very quickly so in a

generic or general term flee can just mean move away you go away you escape

normally in a hurry so I hope that helps you I like to explain things sometimes

and there you can see something that I've just explained on your screen right

now thank you for joining me today by the way I do appreciate you giving your

time at 18 minutes past two o'clock hello to Pedro Pedro says I can only

stay with you for 30 minutes that's okay Pedro if you have something

else to do I do understand that many of my students have a lot of other things

to do so I know you are busy with your lives so don't worry if you can't stay

with me for the whole lesson it's all right don't worry about it it's fine so

you can always catch up and don't forget there is also a playlist now so if you

have missed any of my live streams during October and now we are at day 8

so my previous 7 live streams can be found under this video right underneath

this video there is a playlist with all of my

days of October and so far we have done seven and this is number eight there

will be new ones posted every day as soon as the live stream has finished

Caesar is here hi mr. Duncan it is morning here and

afternoon there yes I imagine that Caesar is behind us timewise hello hello

also to Palmyra hello to Val Messier or Val machiya nice to see you here as well

Alexandra hello Alexandra I haven't seen those plastic bottled milk containers in

my country oh I see do you mean the one in the video yes you

can buy milk in all sorts of containers in this country so you can get plastic

bottles you can get tall bottles you can get short bottles and also glass bottles

so there are many people who still insist on having their milk in glass

bottles instead of plastic in fact I remember as a child growing up every

morning at around about 6:30 maybe 7 o'clock in the morning you would always

hear the milkman the milkman would come around the streets and he would deliver

the milk to everyone and we used to have milk delivered to our house when I was a

child and then over time people started to buy their milk from the supermarket's

and then of course the internet came along and many people started ordering

their milk online sadly the milkman vanished no one wanted

their milk delivered by a milkman anymore I suppose I should really say

milk person because of course this is 2019 and everyone is so pedantic

so every morning I would hear the milkman

now sadly we rarely hear the milkman at all however and there is always however

however many people now have decided that they want to have their milk

delivered to their houses again by a milk person it doesn't sound right when

I say milk person I want to say milk man I'm going to say milk man it's a milk

man it might be a lady it might be a man it might be a cow maybe a cow has

decided that it wants to deliver the milk fresh maybe you open your door in

the morning and there is a cow standing there and you have to milk the cow by

yourself so I made myself laugh then so that's what can happen that's what can

happen when you want your milk delivered fresh so a lot of people have decided

now that they want to have milk delivered to their house fresh by the

milkman or milk lady although that doesn't sound right

hello tes hello everyone I missed bun day you missed an incredible day

yesterday we talked about an amazing topic we talked all about mental health

yesterday and the reason why I did that is because here in the UK we are

actually having mental health awareness week so I thought yesterday it would

have been or it was a good idea to do that so we looked at words and phrases

connected to people's mental health something else also happened yesterday

yes I did something that I don't do very often yesterday I made a mistake I made

a spelling mistake during my livestream I actually spelt a certain word

incorrectly today I am going to show you the word

this time I have spelt it correctly there it is loneliness so this is

something we looked at yesterday however I forgot to put the first e in the word

so I made a mistake however I did admit I didn't hide it I said yes

I will put my hands up I will admit that I made a mistake so that is how you

really spell the word loneliness I know I spelt it wrong yesterday I did admit

it live yesterday I did own up if you own up

it means you admit to the thing that you've done so I made a mistake and I

admit it and that is something we are going to look at today Oh mr. Duncan it

is almost as if you planned this lesson of course I planned it so today we're

going to look at words connected to mistakes making mistakes another subject

we are going to look at is time now I made a lesson all about time many years

ago and I always think it's a very interesting subject the the subject of

for example quantum physics involves lots of things including time and

relativity a very complex subject so today we are talking about mistakes and

also we are going to take a look at time idioms mistakes and time idioms mistakes

and time idioms oh sorry I made a mistake time idioms and mistakes is what

we are looking at today hello to Caesar and also Anna Mae hello Anna Mae nice to

see you here hello also to Belarusian hello there Belarusian thank you very

much once again for your lovely video that you sent on Monday tan Chang says

iOS 13 I oh s which is the operating system for iPhones

it's very brilliant it is worth updating ok then I will do that as soon as I

finish today's livestream I will update my iPhone now my iPhone isn't a new one

it is actually very old it is an iPhone 6s so it isn't a new one it's actually a

few years old hello - I alts essence hello to you also LOUIE LOUIE I don't

have a cell phone really Louie Louie I think you might be

a very unusual person I'm not criticizing you before anyone says

anything but I think it's very unusual these days not to have a cell phone or a

smartphone or anything like that really beep tree is hello mr. Duncan I'm in

Argentina my experience in England was amazing what lovely people Beatrice

recently was in I think it was bath am i right were you staying in bath correct

me if I'm wrong Beatriz I hope you had a good time and

I'm glad to hear that you met lots of wonderful people lots of lovely people

isn't it amazing mr. Duncan how we are all sharing your English lessons as a

global community of viewers thanks to technology yes Theo I agree with you I

love technology very much I really do Federico it's fantastic to see you every

day mr. Duncan I enjoy it a lot with all of you now a couple of people including

mr. Steve yesterday mr. Steve said something too

me and I was a little excited and also a little nervous as well so Steve said

something to me yesterday concerning my live streams that I'm doing during

October Steve said why don't you do your live streams every day all the time what

do you know what do you know what I think Steve is trying to finish me off I

think Steve is trying to kill me by overworking me so that was Steve's idea

Steve said wouldn't it be amazing if you did your live streams every day all the

time I don't know I'm not sure I think I might collapse

I might suffer from burnout that is the word that I mentioned yesterday yeah men

says thank you for your lovely words you're welcome hello Andrew Andrew hello

to you as well thank you also to accent and Shakya hello Shakya nice to see you

mr. Duncan I knew here from where should I start to watch your videos you can

start from any point I have lots of playlists you can look at my videos you

can read the subtitles or captions even my live streams yes my live streams also

have captions if you press this button on your computer press this button you

will actually get live captions isn't it amazing

and if you are watching on a smartphone you can go to your settings appear and

you can actually activate the captions live amazing

quite often YouTube does things that really irritate me sometimes however you

tube does things that helps me hello - Pedro once again I think Pedro might be

going soon because it is now half past two Patrick

hello mr. Duncan I have a question what is the difference between immigration

and immigration immigration is incoming so when we talk about immigration it

means people that are coming from overseas to stay in your country so they

are coming from abroad to your country they are coming in and emigration means

to do the opposite so people are going from your country to live in other

nations or countries so or of course other parts of the world so immigrate is

to come into your country from outside and emigrate is to go out from your

country to another place normally to live so I hope that helps

you now today is a special day it is Ada Lovelace day I'm sure a lot of people

are wondering who is Ada Lovelace well guess what I am now going to explain to

you exactly who Ada Lovelace was her name is Ada Lovelace but however she was

born Augusta ADA King on the 10th of December

1815 a very long time ago she was the daughter of the poet and politician Lord

Byron her father had been hoping for a boy but instead he had a daughter in her

young life she had social contact with such people as Charles Dickens Michael

Faraday and Charles babbit who she would later work with her work

in developing the method of programming Babbage's analytic engine makes her the

first ever computer programmer now there is an interesting word I will see if I

can find it well first of all Charles Babbage was

the man who invented something called the analytical engine a very long time

ago in the mid 19th century in fact so an analytical engine is the first ever

computer but as its name suggests it was actually mechanical so an analytical

engine was the first version of what we now call a computer although back then

it was mechanical and Charles Babbage was the person who created it however he

needed a method of actually programming this machine and it was Ada Lovelace who

came up with the method of programming using holes that were punched into a car

so that is why we celebrate Ada Lovelace day however there is more both her work

and name are now remembered every year on Ada Lovelace day which takes place on

the second Tuesday of October which is today Ada Lovelace died on the 27th of

November 1852 aged 36 and it wasn't unusual for people to die at such a

young age way back then because there were many

illnesses diseases people did not live until a ripe old age back in the mid

19th century so I hope you enjoyed that little bit of information there I always

like to give you some information wherever I can and there it was so that

is the reason why we have Ada Lovelace day a lot of people celebrating it also

it is used as a way of encouraging women into what they call STEM subjects so an

interesting word in fact it isn't a word it is actually a group of words and they

have taken the first letter of each word stem so when we talk about STEM subjects

we are actually talking about science technology engineering and also

mathematics so Ada Lovelace was actually a mathematician she was very much into

mathematics in fact she excelled at it so when we talk about STEM subjects we

are talking about these particular subjects often and quite often when we

refer to these in the past we often talk about people who made innovations who

were male but of course there were many women many females who were also making

a contribution towards STEM subjects so that's what we refer to when we talk

about stem we are talking about the science technology engineering and also

mathematics and for all of these subjects you normally need a very high

degree of knowledge and expertise so I hope that helps you as well back to the

live chat I'm going to the bank apparently that's where Pedro is going

oh I'm I'm now thinking I wonder if Pedro has won the lottery do they have

the lottery in Brazil I think so Mohammed says Anna look at Anna did I

can't even say it I'm sorry about that analytical engine was used for some

operations yes so when we talk about an analytical engine it is actually the

early version of what we now call a computer thanks for the information it

is very interesting thank you Anna you are welcome Thanks these are

important pieces of information so when you give some information we can

describe it as a piece of information these are important pieces of

information so a certain piece of information is something that you

receive something that you learn from information you are informed hence the

word information the thing itself informs you the information helps you to

learn you have been informed or of course educated Christina I have never

won the lottery me neither but then again I don't play the lottery

that's the reason why I never win the lottery because I don't play it I don't

take part in a lottery I like to keep my money in my pocket hello also to Belarus

er very interesting mr. Duncan thank you very much Louie Louie says she was a

kind of pioneer I suppose so yes Ada Lovelace was a pioneer she was the

person who for the first time was able to program a computer and her method of

doing it was very simple it was simply a card that had holes punched inside it

and you fed that into the machine and the mechanic the mechanical machine

would read what was on the card in fact that method was used for many years

afterwards so it was used I think up until the 1970s so they were still using

that method of programming with holes punched in a card even in the 1970s it

was still being used how many days will you finish this video how many days

before you will finish these videos thank you yeah man I am doing this every

day during October so these live streams I normally do them

at the weekend but during October I am doing them everyday so I'm doing them

during October I hope that answers your question

hello choo-choo I won the lottery three or even more times but each time it was

only a small amount says Cho ooh still a small amount it's still money I suppose

it depends how much you spend so if you spend a thousand pounds to play the

lottery and then you win five pounds then you haven't really won anything

have you so I suppose it depends how much money you spend to actually play

the lottery as I mentioned I never play it I don't play the lottery I have never

tried to play the lottery because the chances of your winning very very small

very very tiny in fact you probably have more chance of being struck by lightning

than winning the lottery it's true we are talking about a couple of things in

fact I've just realised we only have 19 minutes left so we are going to look at

something else now making mistakes mistakes we all make mistakes from time

to time it is a normal thing and yesterday I made a mistake during my

livestream I made a spelling mistake yesterday

yes so yesterday I did make a mistake so let's have a look shall we

mistakes this is something that I wrote this morning whilst eating my breakfast

there are many ways to describe making a mistake something that was done

incorrectly can be described as being done by mistake a mistake is almost

always done by accident and not on purpose the reasons why a mistake was

made very and depend on the circumstances in which it occurred so

there are many reasons why a mistake can happen a lack of care and attention or

the need to get something done quickly can lead to a mistake being made and

that's what happened to me yesterday because I was rushing I was doing things

too quickly I actually made a mistake yesterday so that's what I did yesterday

I made a spelling mistake because I was rushing I was doing it too quickly a

mistake can be described in many ways so here are some ways of describing a

mistake you have made an error you have made a slip-up you have done something

incorrectly you have made a gaffe you have made a cock-up quite often we use

that particular phrase in British English you have made a faux pas faux

pas comes from the French language and literally means false step you have made

a blunder blunder so there are many ways of using the word mistake some more

include you have dropped a clangor I love that one

you have dropped a clangor normally used in British English also you have made a

boob now that particular word has more than one meaning but in this case it

means to make mistake you have made a boob and that is used in British English

you have bungled something you have bungled something to get something wrong

or to make a mistake for example a bungled bank robbery

so to bungle something means to get it wrong

also the words mistake derive from the old norse word for take in error take in

error so the word mistake derives from the old norse word for take in error the

word error derives from a which itself comes from the Latin word for stray so

when we stray it means we go off from the thing that we are supposed to be

doing hence the word error and I hope that was useful as well I am doing lots

of things today I still have to squeeze in some time idioms as well I just hope

I have time to do it did you see what I did there did you see that was very very

slick yeah man all people make mistakes all people make mistakes this is true

they say to err is human to forgive divine

that is the expression that a lot of people use hello Nero zero European

history is really fascinating well there is a lot of it Luis says Mr Duncan that

program system of perforated cards so if something is perforated it means

it has one or more holes in it so the actual card has lots of holes it is

perforated it has one hole or maybe a hundred holes so the system of

perforated cards was used in Portugal until the end of the 1960's yes and it

was called Meccano greffi Makenna greffi or Meccano graphy i hope i pronounced

that right i haven't actually seen that word before I'll be honest with you that

is actually a new word so the earliest form of computer programming was very

simple it was basically a card with holes inside it and it was this lady Ada

Lovelace who helped to perfect it along with Charles Babbage the designer of the

first ever computer although he didn't he didn't actually call it a computer

Diane says I am always speaking English and making a lot of mistakes don't worry

about it that is how we learn I make mistakes you make mistakes we all make

mistakes it is part of the learning process so don't worry about it

Christina says humans often make mistakes this is true yes it is normal

in this way we can learn about the mistakes and never do it again it is a

well-known phrase we all learn from our mistakes as long as the mistake isn't

too serious so if the mistake in dangers another person's life or maybe your own

life so sometimes a mistake can be quite disastrous indeed

Patrick hello Patrick Hannity hello to you Rahul says we learn after making any

mistake yes I think so hi please mr. Duncan what is the right

start to learn English I think Miriam you mean what is this the correct place

or the correct way to start learning English well as I always say you should

learn basic words basic sentences simple sentences so don't do too much don't try

to learn too many things at once so I always say when you learn a second

language you must learn like a child and you should never be embarrassed to do

that so when you learn something new always learn it as if you are a child so

use simple words think about how you learn to your own language how did you

learn your own language when you were a child so you can use the same methods or

the same ways someone can make a mistake but not for surgeons yes if you are

performing an operation on someone and you make a mistake maybe your patient

will die yes why don't you do your live stream every other day I think a lot of

people would like that in winter or with winter coming on Thank

You serene serene snow I get the feeling you like winter so I don't know but mr.

Steve yesterday made a very interesting comment he said perhaps you should do

your live streams every day forever

I'm not sure I will see how I feel at the end of October if I'm still alive at

the end of October we will see what happens

Tania asks do you like to drive a car no I don't drive I don't have a car a lot

of people are quite surprised when they find out that I don't drive but no I've

never driven a car I don't have a car I don't own a car but I do walk so

normally if I go somewhere I will walk or I will take a bus but I don't have a

car no yeah man when can i when can i when i can improve my sentence when can

i improve my sentence well one of the best ways to improve your grammar

because that's what we're talking about is once again to listen and to read so

if you want to read a book you can learn how sentences are constructed so all of

these things take time you can't rush learning English you really can't

Alexandra says I think it is very exhausting to make a lesson every day I

don't feel too bad now this is a question I was asked yesterday but I

don't feel too bad to be honest I feel quite happy even excited to do this we

are talking about another subject now we are talking about a thing that I am

always fascinated with and that is time or in this case we are talking about

time idioms so words and phrases connected to time oh there is another

word that I missed out when talking about mistakes he

another one screw up if you screw up something it means you make an error or

a mistake quite often a serious mistake so if you make a serious mistake you

screw up you make a mistake you make a terrible mistake

you have really screwed up you have made a screw up back to those time idioms

because time is running out oh did you see what I did there

so the first idiom connected to time is time on your hands if you have time on

your hands it means you have time to spare you have time where you are doing

nothing so if you have time on your hands it means you have spare time or

maybe you have available time so quite often you will hear a person talk about

having time on their hands or time on your hands do you have some time on your

hands it means do you have some spare time quite often when we are asking a

person to give us some help we might ask if they have time on their hands as I

just mentioned spare time is your free time so the time when you have nothing

to do when you are not working when you are relaxing where when you are at ease

you have spare time and a lot of people use their spare time to do hobbies maybe

they take up a pastime or a hobby take your time take your time take your time

if you take your time it means you do something carefully you don't rush you

take your time sometimes when you are explaining something maybe the subject

is very difficult to actually explain and understand so sometimes you have to

explain slowly so you take your time you do something steadily you do something

in a slow way you take your time maybe a person is trying to explain something

and they are really desperate to tell that person just calm down take your

time don't rush take your time another one Oh

time and time again time and time again something you have to keep doing

something you have to keep doing a repeated action that you have to keep

doing again and again time and time again I have to tell my children to stop

swearing time and time again it means you have to do something repeatedly I

have to go round to my neighbor's house time and time again because they keep

losing their house key time and time again I keep having to do it again and

again time and time again another one time and tide wait for no man

this means that time just like the tide cannot be controlled you can't control

time and you definitely can't control the tide the sea you can't

control it so time and tide wait for no man in other words don't waste time I

think that is the moral of that phrase here's another one there is no time like

the present if you are going to do something if you

want to do something maybe there is a dream maybe there is an ambition maybe

there is something that you've always wanted to do we might say there is no

time like the present don't wait don't hesitate do it today

because there is no time like the present

Oh from time to the sound of something telling the time ticking ticking so in

this case we have a ticking time bomb something that may in the future become

a danger or maybe something that might become a problem so at the moment it is

not a problem but maybe later it will be a problem for

example at the moment in the news a lot of people are talking about electronic

cigarettes vaping and some people have described the habit of using a vaping

machine as a ticking time bomb this means in the future the actual habit of

vaping will cause medical problems in the future

many people will become ill because of the habit so you might describe that as

a ticking time bomb something that is going to happen in the future

normally a bad thing and quite often the result of something

that at the moment isn't a problem a ticking time bomb here is something that

I'm doing at the moment I am doing this every day

I must work around the clock if you work around the clock

it means you work many hours for many many hours maybe you work through the

morning maybe you work through the afternoon and night so you work around

the clock it means the hours that you work are

very long so maybe you have to work for ten hours or twelve hours and then maybe

you have a rest for two hours but then you have to go to work again

after two hours for example doctors and nurses in hospitals quite often will

have to work around the clock they have to work very long and tiring hours

finally and this is something that I'm doing right now because it's now three

o'clock I am trying to beat the clock this is great it's almost as if I I

planned all of this so it's three o'clock and I have to beat the clock

because time is running out and that's exactly what this means so if you beat

the clock it means you do something or you finish something before the time

runs out and that's exactly what I'm doing at the moment

I am trying at the moment to beat the clock even though I am now slightly late

because it's one minute past three o'clock so beat the clock you have to do

something before your time runs out maybe you have a deadline maybe you have

a point of time that you have to do something before

for example today our I must finish my lesson before three o'clock

unfortunately I am now slightly late I was trying to beat the clock but

unfortunately I didn't succeed that is that we will have one last look outside

it's very windy today you can see there the leaves on the trees have turned

autumn has definitely arrived and I will see you tomorrow for day 9 Wow
