10
326080
5600
05:33
who has been notified by youtube and let's  be honest that is not many people oh oh we're  
11
333280
8080
05:41
actually broadcasting in full high definition  today i can't believe it now for the past couple  
12
341360
7920
05:49
of years i've actually been broadcasting in  720p but today we are in wonderful crisp 1080p
13
349280
12320
06:02
full high definition 60 frames per second i know  what you're thinking you're thinking mr duncan i  
14
362960
7200
06:10
don't care about those things i've just come here  to listen to you speak english i've just come here  
15
370160
6720
06:16
to improve my english i don't care what your  definition is or your resolution on your screen  
16
376880
6400
06:23
okay then okay calm down calm down it's a new year  let's all start off as we mean to go on which is  
17
383280
10720
06:34
in a lovely relaxed way one thing i've noticed  at this time of year you often find there are  
18
394000
8720
06:42
certain types of advertisement especially  on television and perhaps on the internet  
19
402720
7280
06:51
gyms there are many companies now trying  to get new members to their gymnasiums also
20
411760
11920
07:07
dieting yes i know it this time of year many  people are trying to lose weight and the reason is  
21
427040
8080
07:15
quite clear because during christmas and during  the seasonal holiday quite a few of you have  
22
435680
8960
07:26
i know what you're going to say you've eaten too  much and i am one of them i am i am one of them i  
23
446480
8400
07:34
have eaten far too much food during the christmas  period although surprisingly i haven't put put  
24
454880
7920
07:42
much weight on i've only gained a little bit of  weight so not much so i think for me it might  
25
462800
7120
07:49
be easy for me to lose the little bit of weight  that i've gained but at this time of year lots  
26
469920
7600
07:57
of people are thinking that maybe they need to  lose some weight perhaps they have to go to the  
27
477520
5360
08:02
gym or maybe they need to do some more exercise or  perhaps they need to change their diet completely  
28
482880
10880
08:15
so that's the thing i noticed just before starting  today i noticed there are lots of advertisements  
29
495120
7200
08:22
here on youtube encouraging people to go to the  gym to lose weight with a healthy diet and also
30
502320
9600
08:34
dating sites as well have you ever used a dating  site now come on be honest have you ever been on  
31
514800
11040
08:46
tinder or there is another one called harmony  e-harmony i think that's a very famous one  
32
526480
8720
08:56
there's also another one matchmakers where you can  match people together so what you do you go to the  
33
536720
6640
09:03
website and you put all of your information in to  the computer into their server and they will come  
34
543360
7360
09:10
up with the perfect match for you have you ever  done that have you ever gone on to the internet  
35
550720
7440
09:18
to find some true love have you be honest and i  i know i i will be honest with you in the past  
36
558160
7360
09:26
many years ago before the internet people  used to put things in the newspapers  
37
566880
6560
09:34
we used to call it the lonely heart column and  quite often at the back of the newspaper you would  
38
574160
7200
09:41
see lots of lonely people looking for mr or mrs  or miss right so when you are looking for mr right  
39
581360
11520
09:52
or miss right you are looking for that perfect  partner so i remember many years ago people  
40
592880
8000
10:00
used to search for their perfect mate or their  partner through an advertisement in the newspaper  
41
600880
8400
10:09
quite often at the back and it was all it  was always the same sort of thing gentleman
42
609280
6000
10:17
that's how that's how men would  normally start their advertisement  
43
617520
4720
10:22
in the lonely heart section gentlemen mid-40s  seeks woman around the age of 30 to 35  
44
622960
14960
10:37
so the man would always be looking for  a younger lady a younger woman to date  
45
637920
6960
10:45
you might notice this but the other thing of  course the other thing that happens quite often  
46
645920
4400
10:50
when people are dating is they will lie about  their age it happens a lot i think i think men
47
650320
9920
11:02
i know what you're going to say mr duncan  that's very cruel and unfair but i think men  
48
662320
5440
11:08
lie about their age more than women i know it's  i'm not trying to be controversial but i think  
49
668720
10240
11:18
men often lie about their age even though they  they say they don't but i think men are worse  
50
678960
7040
11:26
than women i think women quite often are quite  quite honest about their age if you ask them  
51
686000
8320
11:34
how old they are or if they are putting their  name and their details on a lonely heart club  
52
694320
7520
11:43
they will often be honest about their age but  i think men men often lie about their age they  
53
703360
8480
11:51
might be 50 but they might say that they are 42.  so men often will take about 10 years of their age  
54
711840
12960
12:04
if they are looking for a partner i think so it  does happen it does happen quite a lot maybe more  
55
724800
7600
12:12
often than we realize oh the other advert that  i'm seeing a lot on youtube i don't know why is
56
732400
11440
12:24
psychic services why why  are there so many psychics  
57
744480
5760
12:31
advertising at the moment on youtube i don't  know why i have seen lots of adverts for  
58
751520
6320
12:38
psychics so maybe someone who is starting the  new year and they're not sure what lies ahead  
59
758800
8720
12:47
for them maybe they will get in touch with  a psychic person or should i say a psychic  
60
767520
8960
12:57
person they are psychic they can see into the  future so there are a lot of people who might be  
61
777920
7920
13:05
a little unsure perhaps anxious at the start of  the year maybe they want to know what will happen  
62
785840
8160
13:14
what their fate will be during 2021 or by the  way happy new year if i haven't said happy new  
63
794000
8080
13:22
year to you already can i say happy new year  to you now yes we have a new year everyone how  
64
802080
9360
13:31
has 2022 been for you so far has it been good for  you or has it been a load of rubbish don't worry  
65
811440
10320
13:42
we are only five days into the new  year so don't worry things could  
66
822400
5680
13:48
get better yes we are all here  together again and yes it is wednesday
67
828080
13760
14:15
what a lovely surprise we weren't expecting to  
68
855040
2640
14:17
see you here today mr duncan but here  you are yes i'm here what a surprise
69
857680
5840
14:25
i hope that this is a good surprise i hope it's  a nice surprise we are talking about surprises  
70
865920
8640
14:34
today we are we are going to talk all about  surprises words we can use to describe being  
71
874560
7200
14:41
surprised by something have you ever had a  nice surprise we will be talking about that  
72
881760
7920
14:49
a little bit later on hello to the live chat  the interesting question today is who was first  
73
889680
8880
14:59
on the live chat oh congratulations  palmyra oh very interesting  
74
899280
7440
15:08
i know in the past you have been first before so  congratulations once again you are first today  
75
908080
6960
15:15
on this live stream it is a lovely surprise  to see you here palmyra congratulations to you
76
915760
10080
15:32
we had some snow last night can you believe  it we had a little bit of snow not much just a  
77
932000
7440
15:39
little bit sadly most of the snow has now gone but  here is the view out of the window if you want to  
78
939440
7520
15:46
have a look outside there it is yes your eyes  do not deceive you we are coming to you today  
79
946960
8240
15:56
in full high definition so i've decided to  take the risk and i've decided to increase  
80
956560
7600
16:04
the quality just for today we will see  what happens we will see if it actually  
81
964160
5440
16:10
works or perhaps it won't we will see what happens  but yes we have a full full high definition mr  
82
970320
8720
16:19
duncan you are really pushing your technology i am  i'm being very daring today by doing that because  
83
979040
9920
16:28
sometimes my computer does not like broadcasting  in high definition it does not like it one bit
84
988960
8320
16:39
so at the moment 90 minutes past 2 o'clock on a  wednesday afternoon it is the 5th of january a  
85
999680
8960
16:48
brand new year and apparently a lot of people  are already looking for that special person  
86
1008640
8000
16:57
on the internet internet dating there is  also i suppose do people still have blind  
87
1017920
7920
17:05
dates do people still go on blind dates have  you ever been on a blind date where you actually  
88
1025840
7840
17:13
meet a person and you know nothing about them  you are just meeting them without seeing them  
89
1033680
6400
17:20
without knowing them so you decide to meet up  and have a chat maybe you could call it a date  
90
1040640
9280
17:30
i don't think you would call it a date  i think dating is when two people are  
91
1050800
5200
17:36
going out together and perhaps they will  become closer but i think a blind date  
92
1056000
6320
17:43
isn't really a date because you don't know the  person it's a surprise like everything today you  
93
1063120
8240
17:51
see so so i don't just throw this together all  of this is carefully planned it really is it's  
94
1071360
6560
17:57
like a rubik's cube you have to turn the cube  around and around until everything is revealed  
95
1077920
7840
18:07
and that's what's happening today so a blind  date i have to be honest i've never been  
96
1087200
6640
18:13
on a blind date never i have been on some  websites where people are looking for love  
97
1093840
9280
18:24
don't tell mr steve will you but it was purely for  research honestly it was but don't tell mr steve  
98
1104640
10880
18:35
please please don't tell mr steve but  it was for research honestly palmyra  
99
1115520
7280
18:42
we also have vitas hello vitas nice to see you  here on the live chat we also have nessa monisa  
100
1122800
8400
18:52

13520
19:05

19:15
have many viewers in vietnam victoria says thank  you very much mr duncan for your big surprise  
103
1155520
8480
19:24
yes it was a big surprise even for me i decided  this morning that i should come on and do a live  
104
1164000
7840
19:31
stream because this week there is no new lesson so  because i'm not putting a new lesson on this week  
105
1171840
7040
19:38
but there will be a new one next week next week  there will be a new lesson published so i thought  
106
1178880
8000
19:46
today it would be a nice opportunity to come on do  a live stream and see what happens it's a lovely  
107
1186880
7600
19:54
surprise we are talking about surprises later  on hello ricardo nice to see you here as well
108
1194480
11360
20:06
i was watching a recorded live stream  thank you for the surprise that's okay  
109
1206480
6960
20:15
so perhaps you were watching a recording of  my live stream but this is not a recording  
110
1215360
6480
20:23
if you are watching this live so if you are  watching live now at 22 minutes past 2 o'clock  
111
1223040
6880
20:30
on the 5th of january 2022 then it's live but  if you're not then perhaps you are watching this  
112
1230640
8720
20:39
recording as well are you confused i certainly  am hello christina hello also to christina we  
113
1239360
10960
20:50
have christina and christina nice to see you  both here laura is here oh laura says mine  
114
1250320
14560
21:05
was okay cupid is that a dating site is that  where you found your your love or mr right  
115
1265600
11920
21:21
it had been the reason why i started learning  english oh i was looking for a partner and  
116
1281040
5600
21:26
that was one of the reasons why i wanted to learn  english very interesting laura thank you very much
117
1286640
5680
21:35
i'm not going to say what else you've written but  
118
1295200
3040
21:39
it's your opinion it's your  opinion i'm always positive  
119
1299600
4720
21:44
but the new year starts relatively well although  in italy the government is deciding whether to  
120
1304320
6160
21:51
force people to take the vaccine yes well i  suppose this is one of the things many people have  
121
1311600
8000
21:59
been talking about over the past couple of weeks  certainly leading up to christmas as christmas  
122
1319600
6320
22:06
was approaching lots of people were  wondering what would happen so here  
123
1326800
5680
22:12
in the uk it would appear that very little is  going to change we have some lockdown rules  
124
1332480
7760
22:20
some isolation rules but at the moment we  are not forcing people to have the vaccine  
125
1340960
8880
22:29
we are not forcing them of course in certain  situations such as their job if a person has a job  
126
1349840
8480
22:38
where they are dealing with sick people or people  who are elderly then they must take the vaccine  
127
1358320
6960
22:46
but that is the same of course for people who  are traveling abroad if you travel to certain  
128
1366240
5840
22:53
you have to take certain vaccines  
129
1373840
2960
22:57
it is the law you have to take them so if you are  traveling to a country where a certain disease  
130
1377600
6560
23:04
is prevalent or often occurs then you have to  take that certain vaccine before you can travel  
131
1384720
10480
23:15
to the country so there are technically  travel passports that require vaccinations
132
1395200
10720
23:28
but we are not talking about covid in that  situation we are talking about other diseases  
133
1408080
5200
23:33
besides that palmyra says i like your blue  shirt i can't begin to tell you how much trouble  
134
1413840
8560
23:43
this shirt and this hat has caused me a lot  of trouble as you know quite often i use  
135
1423680
7680
23:51
my green screen in my studio and because  of these colours it was very hard  
136
1431360
6160
23:59
to use the green screen today so i had to make  i had to make lots of technical changes so this  
137
1439520
6960
24:06
lovely shirt and this hat have actually caused  lots of problems for me today lots of technical  
138
1446480

146
1511040
9440
25:21

147
1521840
6400
25:28
quite old so this shirt i've had this shirt for  maybe 10 years nine years perhaps so i've had  
148
1528240

149
1538720
9360
25:48
for two years i've had the shirt for around maybe  nine years perhaps even 10. so quite a long time
150
1548080
9280
25:59
victoria is talking about the vaccination program  probably in italy people over 60 will have to have  
151
1559600
9280
26:09
the jab for covid yes it would appear that some  countries are taking stricter or stronger action  
152
1569760
10480
26:21
some some countries are forcing people some people  are complaining about that so some countries are  
153
1581120
7040
26:29
forcing mandatory vaccinations  that is a very interesting word  
154
1589200
6960
26:37
mandatory if something is mandatory it means it  must be done you have to follow that rule or face
155
1597040
10080
26:49
the consequences a very controversial subject  at the moment hello laura mr duncan you are  
156
1609280
7520
26:56
a collector of clothing i'm not sure about that  i don't buy much clothing to be honest i'm not a  
157
1616800
7680
27:04
person who always goes out to buy new clothes i  like to keep my clothes for as long as possible  
158
1624480
9920
27:15
thank you very much for joining me  today it is a short one i'm only here  
159
1635760
4080
27:20
for another half an hour so this is a short live  stream something that i wanted to do as a surprise  
160
1640560
8880
27:29
and that's probably the reason why there aren't  many people here at the moment it's a quiet one  
161
1649440
5520
27:34
today but that's all right as long as you are here  and i'm here and we are here together very nice
162
1654960
9360
27:47
laura says i live in italy i'm in italy but  i'm not vaccinated yet well some people have  
163
1667440
6560
27:54
decided not to have the vaccine some people have  decided not to have the third vaccine although  
164
1674000
8480
28:03
our government at the moment is is trying  to encourage as many people as possible  
165
1683840
4960
28:09
to have what they call the booster jab  booster i love that word by the way  
166
1689440
6400
28:16
boost to boost something is to make  something larger or stronger or  
167
1696640
7280
28:23
more effective so that's the reason why they are  referring to the third jab as a booster booster
168
1703920
9120
28:35
i am not going to get into the the yes or the no  about vaccines i'm not going to state my opinion
169
1715120
9840
28:47
but it is nice to have a choice hello also oh we  have oh we have luis mendes who says hello luis
170
1727360
10480
29:00
apparently lewis is very glad to see everyone here  today well i i have a little surprise i don't know  
171
1740080
6000
29:06
if you saw on sunday but i had a lovely surprise  last week i'm going to show the picture very  
172
1746080
6320
29:12
quickly some of my lovely viewers got together  last week last thursday some of my lovely viewers  
173
1752400
10880
29:23
got together beatriz claudia sandra and maria all  got together and met up and this gave me an idea  
174
1763280
10880
29:34
in fact mr steve and myself were talking about  this last sunday we were talking about the  
175
1774880
6160
29:41
possibility of doing some sort of get together so  when you have a get together we we use that as a  
176
1781040
9920
29:50
way of describing people coming together meeting  up normally it is people who have never met before  
177
1790960
8720
30:00
so we were talking about this last sunday and  perhaps we might do a meet-up or a get-together  
178
1800640
11280
30:13
this year or more likely next year so i think it  is more likely that we will have a meet-up in 2023  
179
1813520
13600
30:27
i don't think it's going to happen this year if  i was completely honest with you i don't think so  
180
1827120
5200
30:33
but i think it's a good idea what do you think  having some sort of get together now i know  
181
1833680
6720
30:40
for many years here on youtube many of the big  youtubers have had meetups sometimes five or ten  
182
1840400
10240
30:51
twenty or maybe a hundred people all meeting up  together from youtube so we will see what happens  
183
1851680
7280
30:58
we might not do it here in england but we might  actually do it somewhere in europe maybe france  
184
1858960
10320
31:09
that is the place we were talking about on sunday  so we might actually do it in france we will see  
185
1869280
8720
31:18
there is nothing and planned at the moment  there is nothing planned at the moment but  
186
1878000
5600
31:25
at the moment it's in my  head we will see what happens  
187
1885120
2960
31:30
christina mr duncan what about your new year's  resolutions which one did you choose from mr steve  
188
1890080
6560
31:36
oh you remember yes last sunday mr steve gave  me some new year's resolutions that i have to  
189
1896640
10480
31:48
choose well first of all i have been doing  exercise i have been taking walks so i am  
190
1908080
7360
31:55
doing that as i said at the start of today's  live stream i am trying my best to to lose  
191
1915440
7120
32:04
that little bit of weight that i've gained  
192
1924080
2800
32:07
so i have put a little bit of weight on not much  just a little so yes i am having regular exercise
193
1927680
8240
32:18
the only thing i'm thinking of at the  moment is whether mr steve will follow my  
194
1938720
4240
32:23
suggestions to him so i also gave steve some  new year's resolutions as well one of them  
195
1943840
7840
32:32
was to stop complaining about my snoring  and can you believe it this morning  
196
1952800
7040
32:40
steve was complaining about my snoring he was so  he's not even following that and i think that's a  
197
1960960
9280
32:50
very simple one that is a very simple resolution  it's nothing too difficult but steve said this  
198
1970240
6720
32:56
morning duncan you were snoring i could hear you  the house was shaking your snoring was so loud  
199
1976960
9440
33:08
thank you suffer for rat says mr  duncan you are a brilliant teacher  
200
1988320
7280
33:15
thank you that's very kind of you to say i try  my best after all that is all we can do all we  
201
1995600
8000
33:23
can really do in this world is try our best  and that's what i'm trying to do i'm trying  
202
2003600
6320
33:29
to do my best very nice to see you here  today i know that this is a surprise  
203
2009920
6880
33:37
a very s a very surprising live stream today  a lot of people asking about my lovely videos  
204
2017440
8240
33:45
where mr steve and myself are playing with the  cows okay i will show a couple of the videos and  
205
2025680
8000
33:53
then we will get into today's subject which  is all about surprises do you like surprises
206
2033680
12160
36:27
a lot of people are doing the  puddle dance at the moment  
207
2187040
3360
36:30
mainly because we have had  so much rain here in england
208
2190400
9440
36:49
i am going to get so many complaints mr duncan  why did you do a live stream without telling us  
209
2209200
7600
36:57
i thought it would be a lovely surprise i  thought you would enjoy the surprise today  
210
2217520
7440
37:04
so that's the reason why i'm doing it talking of  surprises we are talking all about surprises today  
211
2224960
8800
37:13
words connected with surprise ways of expressing  surprise and more importantly have you ever been  
212
2233760
12240
37:26
surprised by something so i suppose it's fair  to say that surprise is not always a good thing  
213
2246000
5920
37:32
i will be talking about that a little bit later  on so we are discussing surprises which is why  
214
2252640
8240
37:41
i've decided to do a surprise for  you today do you like surprises  
215
2261600
6480
37:48
do you like to have a surprise maybe something  you weren't expecting a thing that suddenly  
216
2268720
6480
37:55
appeared maybe something you heard you found  out or maybe something that was given to you  
217
2275200
5440
38:01
maybe a special gift maybe a little treat  perhaps your partner decided to give you a nice  
218
2281280
7760
38:10
surprise i think you know what i'm talking about  there do you like surprises do you like them  
219
2290400
9440
38:19
have you ever received a nice surprise i suppose a  good example is last week when those lovely girls  
220
2299840
8800
38:28
sent me a photograph of their little secret meetup  so i had no idea that that was going to happen i  
221
2308640
10080
38:38
had no idea i didn't know about it i was really  surprised when i received a message telling me  
222
2318720
7680
38:46
that some of my viewers were meeting up i was  so surprised in fact i didn't find out about it  
223
2326960
9280
38:57
until after it had happened so it happened on  thursday but i didn't hear about it until the  
224
2337280
6480
39:03
following day so i had no idea that those girls  those lovely viewers were going to meet up but  
225
2343760
7680
39:12
it has inspired me and mr steve we  might do it ourselves we might arrange  
226
2352800
7600
39:20
some sort of meetup some sort  of get-together either this year  
227
2360400
7360
39:27
or i think it's going to be 2023 to be honest  i think it will be next year i don't think it's  
228
2367760
7440
39:35
going to happen this year because things  are still a little bit crazy in the world  
229
2375200
4640
39:41
i only like nice surprises says christina well i  suppose so i think most people prefer to have nice  
230
2381280
10480
39:52
surprises so when we talk about surprise  we are we are actually describing an event  
231
2392320
7120
39:59
that occurs without any warning so a surprise is  an event a thing that happens without any warning  
232
2399440
11360
40:11
it happens it occurs but you were not expecting it  it is something that came as a surprise we might  
233
2411520
10400
40:21
also say that a surprise is a moment where no  prior warning was given before that thing occurs
234
2421920
9360
40:34
no prior warning you didn't know it was going  to happen it was a surprise i love the feeling  
235
2434480
7120
40:41
of surprise i don't know why i think surprise is  not just something you see but it's also something  
236
2441600
8400
40:50
you really feel as well so you might see that a  person appears surprised you might see something  
237
2450000
8880
40:58
that surprises you and of course you will feel  it it is a very deep emotional feeling i think so  
238
2458880
10880
41:10
so surprise is something that yes i think  it is something that happens with no prior  
239
2470480
6720
41:17
warning the word prior means previous  so something that happened earlier  
240
2477200
6640
41:23
something that occurred earlier is prior  prior before that moment or previous  
241
2483840
10000
41:34
or before that thing occurred so maybe a  person knew about something or they know  
242
2494960
8160
41:43
about something before it happens but if you don't  know about it you can say that you have no prior  
243
2503120
9520
41:52
knowledge it means you didn't know i didn't know  that was going to happen i had no prior knowledge  
244
2512640
9200
42:03
i had no knowledge before that event  occurred a surprise can be nice or  
245
2523280
6720
42:10
unpleasant pleasing or distressing so there are  two different types of surprise a nice surprise  
246
2530000
10560
42:21
something that you weren't expecting but it has  made you feel happy and pleasant and excited  
247
2541120
9200
42:30
and of course you can have an unpleasant surprise  maybe something happens that that has made you  
248
2550320
7680
42:38
feel unhappy or sad or upset so yes unfortunately  surprises can be good but sadly they can also be  
249
2558000
12320
42:51
bad a birthday surprise might be a secretly  planned party or an unexpected gift from  
250
2571760
9280
43:01
someone so you can have a surprise gift or  a surprise party to celebrate your birthday  
251
2581040
9600
43:10
and lots of people do this especially if the  birthday is an important one maybe it is your  
252
2590640
6640
43:17
18th so many people here in the uk will celebrate  their 18th birthday with a special party  
253
2597840
8880
43:26
or maybe 21st birthday and of course we have  what we call landmark birthdays maybe you are 30
254
2606720
12800
43:42
40
255
2622000
560
43:44
50
256
2624640
560
43:48
or like mr steve last year mr steve last year  he celebrated his 60th birthday last year 60  
257
2628000
11120
43:59
mr steve was last year a lot of people don't  believe it but he is mr steve is now 60.  
258
2639120
7200
44:06
he will be 61 in a few days time on i think it's  february the 16th is when mr steve's birthday is
259
2646320
11200
44:19
so i gave mr steve a little birthday surprise last  year for his landmark birthday because last year  
260
2659680
10400
44:30
he was celebrating his 60th birthday so quite  often we will do that we will have a special  
261
2670080
8240
44:38
celebration for our birthday if it is a certain  age let's just say you might also have a surprise  
262
2678320
9760
44:48
trip a surprise trip might be an unexpected  holiday to a far off place have you ever had  
263
2688080
8560
44:57
a surprise trip maybe your partner or one of your  friends decides to take you away to a lovely place  
264
2697440
8800
45:07
to take you on holiday it can happen especially  in relationships sometimes the husband might  
265
2707120
7360
45:15
treat his wife to a surprise holiday or a  surprise trip to somewhere lovely and warm
266
2715120
8880
45:27
the word distress yes it's a very interesting  word actually distress distress means upset  
267
2727360
8080
45:35
something that upsets another thing you  cause distress maybe you are causing  
268
2735440
6880
45:42
stress to something maybe your shirt or  maybe a piece of material you can distress  
269
2742320
9840
45:54
an object you are pulling and pushing it you  are causing stress on that thing so distress  
270
2754080
10000
46:04
can be something you do to an object or to a  person so a person can become distressed it  
271
2764800
8160
46:12
means they become upset anxious and quite often it  is an emotional response to something unpleasant
272
2772960
12560
46:27
you might have a surprise visit oh have  you ever received a visit from someone  
273
2787680
7280
46:35
but you weren't expecting them to arrive or  visit you a surprise visit might occur where a  
274
2795520
8480
46:44
person you've never seen in person or someone  you have not seen for a long time suddenly  
275
2804000
8560
46:52
visits you so maybe a person you've never met  before you've only spoken to them through email  
276
2812560
7280
47:00
or maybe you've only seen photographs of them but  then suddenly they come to visit you imagine that  
277
2820400
7920
47:09
imagine having a knock at your door and then  you open the door and it's one of your friends  
278
2829360
5120
47:15
someone you've never met before in person but  they are there in front of you it might be a  
279
2835200
5600
47:20
nice surprise it might be a big surprise so yes  you can get all sorts of surprises i think so  
280
2840800
9520
47:32
a nice surprise brings joy and happiness while  a nasty surprise brings anger and sadness  
281
2852240
9840
47:42
so there are two different types of surprise  a nice surprise and an unpleasant or nasty  
282
2862720
9120
47:52
surprise we often refer to a negative surprise as  nasty i had a nasty surprise sudden bad news is a  
283
2872400
14080
48:06
nasty surprise you suddenly received some terrible  news news that you were not expecting maybe  
284
2886480
7840
48:14
one of your friends has become ill maybe they've  gone into hospital maybe a member of your family  
285
2894320
6080
48:20
has become ill or maybe someone you know has  passed away so sudden bad news is a nasty surprise  
286
2900400
11040
48:32
a shocking discovery or revelation brings an  unpleasant surprise something you didn't know  
287
2912800
7600
48:41
may be about a person and then you find  out about that particular thing we call it  
288
2921360
6640
48:48
a revelation something that has that has been  revealed something that has been suddenly exposed
289
2928000
9600
49:00
i'm not sure what i'm talking  about there a shocking discovery or  
290
2940320
4320
49:05
revelation a revelation is something maybe  a secret maybe something you didn't know  
291
2945200
6800
49:13
but now you do and you feel  shocked and surprised by it
292
2953040
4080
49:19
so sometimes a surprise can be shocking
293
2959440
3440
49:25
you might say that a surprise  comes out of the blue it comes from  
294
2965760
6320
49:34
the sky or it appears to so we often say that  a surprise comes out of the blue it comes like  
295
2974080
9760
49:44
a bolt from the blue it comes out of the  blue it was not expected so quite often a  
296
2984560
8480
49:53
surprise is something that suddenly appears or  happens something you suddenly find out about  
297
2993040
6960
50:01
a nasty surprise can be described as a  shock a blow a bombshell a shocker something  
298
3001120
10720
50:12
is startling so a startling revelation is  shocking something you found out is shocking it is  
299
3012400
10720
50:23
startling a nasty surprise is a shock and of  course we can say that it leaves you feeling  
300
3023680
9360
50:33
shocked so the feeling of having a bad surprise  or a nasty surprise quite often is described as
301
3033840
9600
50:46
shock you are shocked you are shocked by the news  you are shocked by the revelation the thing you  
302
3046080
10240
50:56
have found out about you might say that someone  is full of surprises a person can be described as  
303
3056320
10560
51:06
being full of surprises they have lots of hidden  talents or abilities so maybe a person who always  
304
3066880
9760
51:17
