If my mother was here now,
0
224555
1719
03:46
she would say, it is dirty,
1
226274
3086
03:49
it is a dirty day.
2
229894
2519
03:52
That is what she would say because we are having grey,
3
232413
4738
03:57
cloudy, windy, wet weather.
4
237485
4137
04:01
And my mom would always say that that type of weather
5
241989
3237
04:05
means the day is very dirty.
6
245593
2903
04:08
So we are having a dirty, dirty day here in England today.
7
248496
5455
04:14
Here we are again.
8
254285
1201
04:15
English addict is back with you.
9
255486
2336
04:17
Coming to you live from the birthplace of the English language,
10
257822
4471
04:22
which is you know where it is.
11
262626
3270
04:26
It is England
12
266464
3003
04:34
and it is England, everyone.
13
274805
3721
04:39
That is where I am right now.
14
279126
2486
04:41
I am here in England, live on YouTube.
15
281612
4237
04:45
This is not a recording.
16
285883
2219
04:48
Unless, of course, you are watching the recording.
17
288102
2552
04:50
But this now, right now at 2:06
18
290654
4321
04:54
o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon, it is English with myself.
19
294975
5406
05:00
Hi, everybody.
20
300397
1285
05:01
My name is Mr. Duncan. How are you today?
21
301682
2803
05:04
Are you okay?
22
304485
1401
05:05
I hope so.
23
305886
968
05:06
Are you happy?
24
306854
1401
05:08
I hope you are feeling good today.
25
308255
2352
05:10
I'm not too bad.
26
310607
1018
05:11
Even though the weather is really horrible.
27
311625
2069
05:13
I wanted to go for a walk this morning, but it's windy.
28
313694
3570
05:17
We are having loads of rain.
29
317264
2102
05:19
Between you and me, I am absolutely fed up
30
319366
4488
05:25
of the
31
325205
334
05:25
rain because we seem to be having a lot of rain.
32
325539
4137
05:29
I can't wait for the lovely, long, dry days of summer.
33
329676
5489
05:35
To be honest with you, my name is Duncan
34
335232
3153
05:38
and I am a fan of the English language.
35
338735
4288
05:43
You might say that I am an English addict
36
343023
3453
05:46
and I have a feeling maybe, perhaps you are one of those as well.
37
346993
4288
05:51
Here we are again.
38
351615
2152
05:53
Can I say a big hello to the YouTube algorithms?
39
353767
3637
05:57
Once again, I can almost hear
40
357888
2986
06:01
those computers
41
361007
2603
06:03
in California.
42
363610
1852
06:05
Those computers are all going.
43
365462
2352
06:07
No, Mr. Duncan.
44
367814
1068
06:08
No, no, no, No one is going to see you.
45
368882
3220
06:14
Thank you very much.
46
374137
968
06:15
Once again to YouTube and the lovely algorithms.
47
375105
4137
06:19
Here we are again, English addict.
48
379242
3003
06:22
Thank you for joining me.
49
382862
2403
06:25
It's very nice to see you.
50
385265
1568
06:26
I know what you're going to say, Mr. Duncan.
51
386833
3570
06:30
You have to do more to promote your YouTube channel.
52
390403
4171
06:34
I don't know what else I can do, to be honest with you.
53
394574
3153
06:37
I really don't know.
54
397727
1885
06:39
Anyway, enough of that. I'm here.
55
399612
3003
06:42
You're here.
56
402632
1084
06:43
And that, I suppose, is all that matters.
57
403716
2936
06:46
For those who are looking for my new YouTube
58
406652
2737
06:49
channel, I have had some problems with it, so it has vanished.
59
409389
4254
06:54
I have another plan.
60
414977
2987
06:58
All will be revealed
61
418397
2520
07:00
over the next couple of days.
62
420917

429275
3186
07:19
How do you like the race
66
439602
2285
07:21
that that always happens at the start of today's or any live
67
441887
3654
07:25
stream is when we try to get the fastest finger on the mouse.
68

478607
5606
08:04
I am looking at the live chat right now.
81
484863
3120
08:08
If you want to say hello, if you want to say hello, Mr.
82
488200
2786
08:10
Duncan, maybe it is your first time.
83
490986
3537
08:15
Maybe you have never, ever typed
84
495107
4171
08:19
anything on the live chat before.
85
499411
3637
08:23
Perhaps it is your first time.
86
503382
2636
08:26
Don't be shy. Give it a try.
87
506018
3003
08:29
You never know.
88
509171
1051
08:30
You might actually enjoy it.
89
510222
3003
08:33
And I know what it feels like because sometimes
90
513458
3204
08:36
I also watch live streams of different things.
91
516662
4154
08:40
Live events
92
520816
1651
08:43
like the eclipse.
93
523785
2720
08:46
Did you see that?
94
526505
1384
08:47
Did you see the live coverage all over the Internet?
95
527889
3871
08:52
Hundreds of thousands of people were watching the eclipse.
96
532444
4771
08:57
It came, it went.
97
537399
1885
08:59
Some people said that the end of the world
98
539284
3003
09:02
would occur.
99
542437
2519
09:04
Guess what?
100
544956
1802
09:06
It did it.
101
546758
1618
09:08
We're still here to enjoy all of this.
102
548376
4471
09:13
Hello. Also Evandro.
103
553331
2853
09:16
Hello, Evandro here as well.
104
556184
3503
09:20
So please let me know.
105
560372
2969
09:23
Say something on the live chat.
106
563341
3003
09:26
Maybe you can say hello.
107
566644
2470
09:29
Mr. Duncan.
108
569114
1735
09:30
It's okay. I think that's good.
109
570849
2435
09:33
That's a good thing to say, to be honest with you.
110
573284
3003
09:36
I am here today.
111
576487
1202
09:37
We have an interesting subject change.
112
577689
3003
09:41
Choo choo choo choo choo.
113
581943
1151
09:43
Changes express
114
583094
3053
09:46
the change due to changing
115
586147
3904
09:50
as things change all the time, even the English language.
116
590284
4889
09:55
You may not even realise it because over the years
117
595173
3153
09:58
English has changed as a language.
118
598693
3987
10:03
Lots of things change the way words are used.
119
603131
3420
10:06
Certain words come into fashion
120
606584
3003
10:09
and other words slowly disappear.
121
609937
3604
10:13
They vanish without a trace.
122
613691
2819
10:17
A bit like me on YouTube.
123
617595
1652
10:19
When you think about it.
124
619247
2035
10:21
So we are talking about change,
125
621282
2102
10:23
the way in which things can change, alter
126
623384
3203
10:27
maybe the appearance of something,
127
627338
3003
10:30
maybe the shape, maybe the height of something,
128
630791
4138
10:35
maybe the depth of something,
129
635346
3336
10:39
maybe the whole length of something.
130
639066
4588
10:44
You could make it longer.
131
644321
1435
10:45
You could make it shorter.
132
645756
1535
10:47
You can make it higher, you can make it deeper.
133
647291
4371
10:52
All of those things we are talking about today
134
652179
3270
10:55
with the subject of making change is
135
655449
4238
11:00
and I think sometimes in life I think it is good
136
660187
3303
11:05
to make changes.
137
665042
2352
11:07
We don't like it.
138
667394
1518
11:08
So that is another truth of life.
139
668912
2653
11:11
We don't like change, but sometimes
140
671565
3470
11:15
it is good to make changes.
141
675035
3270
11:18
It keeps everything new, fresh, exciting,
142
678572
5072
11:24
maybe something you've
143
684728
1285
11:26
always wanted to try and you've been afraid of doing it.
144
686013
3403
11:29
Maybe you want to change a certain thing about yourself.
145
689800
3954
11:34
Perhaps you want to change your style of clothing.
146
694204
3337
11:37
Maybe you want to wear something bright
147
697891
3003
11:41
and colourful,
148
701111
2936
11:44
something like that.
149
704047
1201
11:45
Perhaps make a change to your house.
150
705248
3003
11:48
Maybe.
151
708335
967
11:49
Maybe you can make a change to your routine
152
709302
3904
11:53
the way you do things during the day.
153
713523
3003
11:56
So I think making changes is a good thing.
154
716777
4604
12:01
Changing anything.
155
721531
2136
12:03
In fact, that is what we are talking about today.
156
723667
4271
12:08
Hello, Idris.
157
728221
2536
12:10
Idris, hello to you.
158
730757
2603
12:13
Nice to see you on the live chat.
159
733360
2552
12:15
Proving that I do say hello,
160
735912
3537
12:21
Give it a try.
161
741284
918
12:22
You never know.
162
742202
967
12:23
You might enjoy it. Don't forget it.
163
743169
2453
12:25
If you like this, please give me a lovely like because.
164
745622
4020
12:29
Well, to be honest with you, I'm not going to lie.
165
749926
2536
12:33
I'm a bit desperate.
166
753997
2469
12:36
I'm in a desperate situation.
167
756466
1852
12:38
No one wants to be in a desperate situation
168
758318
3503
12:42
and it is not something I normally mention, but
169
762222
2602
12:44
I am in a desperate situation trying new things.
170
764824
6523
12:51
Hopefully those new things will work.
171
771514
3821
12:55
Sometimes you have to change things because you need a change of direction.
172
775635
5338
13:01
Maybe the thing you are doing isn't very good,
173
781324
3820
13:05
or maybe the thing you are doing is not interesting.
174
785378
3603
13:09
So you have to try and make it
175
789966
2736
13:12
a little more exciting.
176
792702
3003
13:16
Hello, Rene.
177
796389
2252
13:18
Rene Parade back home.
178
798641
2819
13:21
I hope I pronounce your name correctly.
179
801460
2887
13:24
Rene. Yeah.
180
804347
934
13:25
Big hello to you.
181
805281
1752
13:27
Thank you very much for joining me.
182
807033
2252
13:29
Angela as well.
183
809285
2552
13:31
Good afternoon, Mr. Duncan. Hello, Angela.
184
811837
3003
13:34
Nice to see you here on the live chat as well.
185
814924
3353
13:38
Thank you very much. Do not be shy.
186
818294
3103
13:41
Give it a try or else you will make Mr.
187
821414
3153
13:44
Duncan cry.
188
824567
1284
13:46
We are looking
189
826836
634
13:47
at the way things have changed.
190
827470
3003
13:50
We are looking at the way things can change.
191
830506
4621
13:55
Something you can do perhaps to change part of your life.
192
835327
4855
14:00
A lot of people these days I have noticed something
193
840516
2969
14:03
that people are doing a lot
194
843485
3003
14:06
more than they used to.
195
846755
1752
14:08
And this is not just women, but also men as well.
196
848507
3687
14:12
They are changing their face.
197
852428
3370
14:17
It's true.
198
857466
1535
14:19
Now, one thing I've always said,
199
859001
3003
14:22
one thing I've always thought of when I think about getting older,
200
862421
4521
14:27
I don't think I will ever have cosmetic surgery
201
867226
4170
14:31
or anything to change the shape or the appearance of my face.
202
871713
4205
14:36
But I have noticed these days a lot of people are because, well,
203
876301
4655
14:40
certainly from from my own experience of living here in England,
204
880956
5639
14:47
it is possible now to have cosmetic surgery in many places
205
887045
6040
14:54
so you don't
206
894102
534
14:54
just have to go to a special hospital or a special doctor.
207
894636
3604
14:58
You can actually go to many places now
208
898573
2636
15:01
and they will do things to make your appearance.
209
901209
3938
15:05
Look,
210
905797
1618
15:07
I was going to say better,
211
907415
2319
15:09
but I don't think it always makes your face look better.
212
909734
3020
15:13
I suppose one of the big trends at the moment
213
913121
3003
15:16
is to inject Botox.
214
916474
2703
15:25
I'm I'm coughing at the moment.
215
925867
1718
15:27
It's just a moment. I will be back.
216
927585
2419
15:30
I'll be back in a sec.
217
930004
1252
16:30
I'm sure I'm on the way out.
218
990965
2352
16:33
I think so.
219
993317
801
16:34
Maybe I should see a doctor.
220
994118
3003
16:37
Well, that was that was interesting.
221
997305
3002
16:40
I'm very sorry about that.
222
1000958
1535
16:42
I had a little tickle in my throat,
223
1002493
3470
16:46
but at least we got to see the cowls.
224
1006447
3003
16:49
As I was saying, just before my throat rudely interrupted me.
225
1009717
4888
16:55
A lot of people
226
1015840
667
16:56
these days are making changes to their appearance.
227
1016507
3053
16:59
Their face.
228
1019560
1702
17:01
The face is something that I suppose is very public.
229
1021262
4688
17:06
When you walk out, everyone can see what you look like.
230
1026100
3003
17:09
But a big trend at the moment is to have Botox
231
1029453
3003
17:13
injections in your face to make it look well.
232
1033057
4271
17:18
I want to say that some people think it makes them
233
1038128
3053
17:21
look better, but to be honest with you, I don't think it does.
234
1041181
4021
17:25
We have a great phrase in English.
235
1045953
2853
17:28
Sometimes it is good to grow
236
1048806
3269
17:32
old gracefully.
237
1052376
3003
17:35
If you grow old gracefully,
238
1055712
2002
17:37
it means you are growing old with a little bit of dignity.
239
1057714
3337
17:41
So you are not trying to hide your age.
240
1061535
2986
17:45
So maybe, maybe,
241
1065372
1919
17:47
perhaps some people don't want to do that.
242
1067291
3653
17:50
They want to try and hold back
243
1070944
3003
17:53
the appearance of getting older.
244
1073980
2737
17:56
To be honest with you, it doesn't really worry me too much.
245
1076717
3770
18:00
I suppose my biggest fear is health.
246
1080937
3871
18:05
So if my health
247
1085792
1935
18:07
got worse or became worse
248
1087727
2186
18:09
as I grew older, then I would definitely be worried.
249
1089913
3720
18:14
But as far as my appearance is concerned, I'm
250
1094084
2602
18:16
not too worried if I was honest with you and yes,
251
1096686
4271
18:20
I am 60 next year, I still can't believe it.
252
1100957
3087
18:24
I was saying to Mr.
253
1104044
951
18:24
Steve the other night, I can't believe that next year,
254
1104995
3453
18:28
not this year, but next year, 2025, I will be 60.
255
1108965
4405
18:33
And it doesn't feel like it.
256
1113753
1802
18:35
I don't feel his.
257
1115555
1952
18:37
If I am approach in 60, if I was honest with you,
258
1117507
3070
18:40
it doesn't feel like it at all.
259
1120627
3069
18:45
Can I say hello to you?
260
1125315
1768
18:47
Christina. Hello, Christina.
261
1127083
2119
18:49
Nice to see you here as well.
262
1129202
2102
18:51
Yes, I'm feeling all right now.
263
1131304
1718
18:53
I don't know what happened.
264
1133022
1018
18:54
My throat was very dry.
265
1134040
2736
18:56
One of the problems with doing this in
266
1136776
2719
19:00
this type of environment is
267
1140613
2069
19:02
quite often your throat will become very sore
268
1142682
4171
19:06
and very dry because of the heat in the room.
269
1146853
4204
19:11
Anyway, enough about that.
270
1151557
2520
19:14
My new channel has been delayed, but
271
1154077
2585
19:16
I will actually be posting some new videos here
272
1156662
4772
19:21
on my YouTube channel, the one you are watching now.
273
1161901
3186
19:25
So all of the new lessons that I was going to put on my new channel,
274
1165605
4137
19:30
I will now be putting on this channel
275
1170226
4554
19:35
to make it easier for those who want to find them.
276
1175865
2986
19:39
So that is what I will be doing.
277
1179135
2969
19:42
Hello to Podcasts by Krish.
278
1182104
3003
19:45
Hello Krish.
279
1185408
1101
19:46
Nice to see you here.
280
1186509
1535
19:48
What type of podcast do you do?
281
1188044
3003
19:51
Is it a particular subject?
282
1191464
2118
19:53
And this is the big thing nowadays a lot of people are doing podcasts.
283
1193582
5472
20:00
When we think of
284
1200339
684
20:01
podcasts, we often think of a short thing,
285
1201023
4154
20:05
a short discussion conversation.
286
1205561
3920
20:09
Quite often it is just audio.
287
1209815
2820
20:12
So there is no picture, just audio.
288
1212635
2969
20:15
So you will listen to a podcast.
289
1215604
3153
20:19
However, nowadays, of course, because video and live streaming
290
1219141
5505
20:24
is so popular, especially on sites like this one,
291
1224963
3904
20:30
you will find a lot of people now do their podcasts in vision as well.
292
1230002
4955
20:35
So not only can you hear the person or the people, you can see them as well.
293
1235507
4638
20:40
And there are many very popular
294
1240546
2986
20:44
podcasts on YouTube.
295
1244049
3153
20:49
Thank you very much.
296
1249004
984
20:49
Hello, Nihar. Nihar.
297
1249988
2937
20:52
Who says Happy,
298
1252925
3002
20:56
Happy?
299
1256712
867
20:57
To you as well.
300
1257579
2186
20:59
Who else is here today?
301
1259765
3003
21:02
Duty Statee.
302
1262984
2036
21:05
Hello. Duty.
303
1265020
1618
21:06
That is a very interesting name.
304
1266638
1919
21:08
Hello to you.
305
1268557
667
21:09
Thank you for joining as well.
306
1269224
2970
21:12
No, I am not doing any podcasts.
307
1272194
1918
21:14
Yes, I only give my name.
308
1274112
2136
21:16
I only gave that name to my channel.
309
1276248
2986
21:19
Well, maybe you could start a podcast.
310
1279618
2919
21:22
Maybe you could do something.
311
1282537
1769
21:24
A lot of people are.
312
1284306
1268
21:25
It's become very popular.
313
1285574
1651
21:27
All you need is a microphone and a computer.
314
1287225
2986
21:30
And one of these.
315
1290578
1652
21:34
And that's it.
316
1294933
500
21:35
Really?
317
1295433
1318
21:36
How can I learn to speak English?
318
1296751
3003
21:39
Well, I have some great new videos
319
1299754
3904
21:44
coming up very soon, all about learning English.
320
1304109
4771
21:49
For those who are learning, those who are starting
321
1309180
4254
21:54
or beginning their journey
322
1314035
3003
21:57
into the world of learning English.
323
1317222
3003
22:02
So that is what is going on on my channel.
324
1322627
3287
22:05
And that is a very good way of improving your English.
325
1325914
3002
22:09
Listen,
326
1329183
1802
22:10
learn, and also don't be afraid
327
1330985
3070
22:14
to speak as well.
328
1334505
2603
22:17
Listen, learn, speak
329
1337108
3003
22:21
or listen, read, learn and speak.
330
1341062
4254
22:27
Quite often when you're learning something,
331
1347935
1902
22:29
you find that certain ways of doing it
332
1349837
3804
22:34
will be more suitable for you.
333
1354292
2802
22:37
So some people might like to learn in a particular way, a certain type
334
1357094
5039
22:42
of way, whilst others might choose a different way
335
1362133
5188
22:47
or a different method.
336
1367855
2586
22:50
So it does
337
1370441
1285
22:53
depend on your own situation.
338
1373177
2986
22:56
So we have today's subject coming up
339
1376897
2603
22:59
and we have also some discussion
340
1379500
3036
23:02
about making changes, changing young things.
341
1382536
5122
23:08
What do we use in English when we are talking about
342
1388225
4955
23:13
changing the shape, changing the height,
343
1393664
3003
23:17
changing the way something appears?
344
1397201
2969
23:20
All of that coming up in a moment.
345
1400170
1969
24:46
We have had so much rain and to be honest with you,
346
1486156
3720
24:50
I'm a little bit fed up of the rain.
347
1490860
3003
24:53
I can't wait until summer arrives in the
348
1493947
3870
25:01
autumn and
349
1501621
3003
25:06
welcome
350
1506426
3003
25:09
English addict
351
1509696
1835
25:11
is with you right now live on YouTube.
352
1511531
3553
25:15
2:26 o'clock.
353
1515101
3003
25:18
As I stand here in my little studio
354
1518254
3303
25:22
in much Wenlock in England, thank you very much for joining me today.
355
1522058
5906
25:27
We have a big subject now.
356
1527964
2102
25:30
This might be a subject
357
1530066
1418
25:31
that a lot of people are interested in, something that we all have to do.
358
1531484
4521
25:36
I would say quite often in life, we often have to make changes.
359
1536005
5923
25:42
And I think change is something that is constant.
360
1542211
4304
25:47
The word constant that means ever present,
361
1547316
4138
25:51
something that is always around, it is constant.
362
1551971
3337
25:55
It is something that is always there.
363
1555658
2703
25:58
Change and life
364
1558361
3053
26:02
quite often go together because every day
365
1562732
2969
26:05
there is a new challenge, something you have to do, something
366
1565701
3604
26:09
you have to change, something you have to alter.
367
1569305
3720
26:14
So that is what we are talking about today.
368
1574226
2519
26:16
We are talking about making changes.
369
1576745
4738
26:22
And I suppose the first thing I should do is talk about the word itself.
370
1582351
3937
26:26
So when we talk about making changes,
371
1586288
3003
26:29
you might change something.
372
1589441
3454
26:33
The first word change,
373
1593545
2670
26:36
you might alter something.
374
1596215
3537
26:40
If you alter something, it means you are making something different.
375
1600185
5422
26:46
You are maybe changing something in a certain way.
376
1606058
4805
26:50
You change that thing, you alter that thing.
377
1610863
4821
26:55
Perhaps you have an item of clothing that is too big or too small.
378
1615968
5238
27:01
You have to make changes so it will fit you.
379
1621723
3754
27:06
We alter
380
1626812
2052
27:08
the clothes, amend.
381
1628864
3003
27:12
Amend also means change.
382
1632334
3120
27:15
Maybe you are changing something you are unhappy with,
383
1635754
3337
27:19
maybe something you want to correct
384
1639424
2936
27:22
or maybe something you want to put right.
385
1642360
2820
27:25
You amend that thing.
386
1645180
3003
27:28
We have redesign.
387
1648216
2836
27:31
Redesign means to make something
388
1651052
3521
27:34
look different quite often as an improvement.
389
1654573
4104
27:38
So we often think of something being improved
390
1658927
3687
27:43
when we redesign something
391
1663064
3003
27:46
quite often with technology, you will often find
392
1666267
3421
27:49
technology is always being redesigned.
393
1669688
3987
27:54
It is changed, it is improved, which is the next word.
394
1674092
5472
28:00
To improve something is to change.
395
1680215
3270
28:03
Normally for the better, you are improving something.
396
1683935
4588
28:09
And finally, you might refigure to refigure
397
1689824
4555
28:14
is to make changes to put one thing in a different place.
398
1694712
6056
28:21
Maybe you will move things around.
399
1701102
2369
28:23
You will swap things over
400
1703471
3003
28:26
to refigure something.
401
1706924
3120
28:30
You are making something different.
402
1710395
2369
28:32
You are making it look different.
403
1712764
2919
28:35
You are making changes.
404
1715683
2102
28:39
There are many ways of
405
1719821
2552
28:42
expressing certain types of change.
406
1722373
4254
28:46
For example, we have a lesson now.
407
1726994
4705
28:51
The sound of this word
408
1731933
2402
28:54
does sound like a period of learning
409
1734335
3453
28:58
a lesson is a period of learning.
410
1738606
3653
29:02
However, if you look here, the spelling is very different to lesson
411
1742493
4571
29:07
something is to decrease.
412
1747298
3003
29:10
You are making something less, to make
413
1750367
3237
29:13
less, you lesson something,
414
1753871
3503
29:17
you reduce the amount or the number
415
1757625
3954
29:22
of something you lesson.
416
1762062
3003
29:25
Maybe you are in pain and you take some medicine
417
1765266
3536
29:29
or some tablets to lessen the pain.
418
1769503
4588
29:34
You are trying to make that pain go away,
419
1774625
3270
29:37
or at least you are trying to make that pain
420
1777895
3036
29:41
less than it is.
421
1781432
3003
29:44
And then of course we have the opposite, which is increase.
422
1784551
4421
29:49
So to increase is a type of change
423
1789423
3086
29:52
where you make something more,
424
1792893
3003
29:56
you increase something.
425
1796146
2870
29:59
So again, it is a type of change
426
1799016
4137
30:03
to lessen is to make less to increase
427
1803820
3904
30:08
is to make more.
428
1808475
2486
30:10
Maybe you increase your productivity,
429
1810961
4104
30:15
maybe you work harder, you increase,
430
1815098
4405
30:20
maybe you lessen your pain,
431
1820354
3453
30:24
maybe you have a pain in your neck or in your back
432
1824157
3487
30:28
like I do.
433
1828595
1718
30:30
You want to make it less
434
1830313
3003
30:33
so. Those are types of change.
435
1833333
3036
30:36
Here's another one shrink.
436
1836486
3003
30:39
Shrink to shrink something.
437
1839756
4271
30:44
Maybe it will shrink it will become smaller.
438
1844444
4621
30:51
It can happen.
439
1851067
1418
30:52
Even parts of your body sometimes can shrink,
440
1852485
2987
30:58
grow.
441
1858475
2502
31:00
Something becomes larger,
442
1860977
2536
31:03
shrink becomes smaller.
443
1863513
2552
31:06
The change is
444
1866065
3003
31:10
that grow.
445
1870537
3003
31:14
Is that the opposite?
446
1874224
2218
31:16
Something grows, something gets larger.
447
1876442
3154
31:20
Maybe a person will grow
448
1880196
3003
31:23
as they mature, a person will grow a beard,
449
1883433
5222
31:29
maybe your features will change because of something you've done.
450
1889205
4922
31:34
You might grow a moustache on your face.
451
1894594
3119
31:42
Something might shrink.
452
1902135
3003
31:45
Maybe you have a big boil on your neck,
453
1905404
3270
31:49
but over time it will get smaller, it will shrink,
454
1909775
3671
31:53
it will become less and less.
455
1913529
3303
31:57
They are both types of change.
456
1917516
2436
32:03
Reduce to reduce means to
457
1923222
3353
32:06
make less, you reduce something.
458
1926575
3637
32:10
There are many ways of expressing reduce
459
1930663
3653
32:14
to make less.
460
1934734
2736
32:17
Maybe you reduce the amount of hours that you work.
461
1937470
5038
32:22
Maybe you work 20 hours a week.
462
1942775
3003
32:26
Imagine that.
463
1946378
1685
32:28
But you want to reduce the amount of hours
464
1948063
4171
32:32
that you work to 12, which sounds good to me.
465
1952234
4521
32:36
I have to say, maybe you need to work more.
466
1956905
3437
32:40
Maybe you have to work longer.
467
1960592
3003
32:43
Then you will increase that thing.
468
1963779
3186
32:46
You will work more, you will work longer.
469
1966965
4638
32:52
So reduce means to make less
470
1972087
3187
32:56
and increase, make more.
471
1976325
3353
33:00
They are both types of change
472
1980095
3337
33:04
which can occur in life
473
1984066
2986
33:08
lower.
474
1988353
1135
33:09
You can lower something,
475
1989488
2936
33:12
something that is maybe too high or too tall.
476
1992424
5072
33:17
You might lower that thing.
477
1997913
3003
33:21
You can also lower the amount of money
478
2001066
3086
33:25
you pay someone
479
2005203
1619
33:26
for their work or you lower that thing.
480
2006822
3670
33:30
You make it less.
481
2010492
2452
33:32
To lower something is to make something
482
2012944
3120
33:36
less than it was.
483
2016331
2920
33:39
You might also decrease the height of something.
484
2019251
3486
33:43
So something is very tall and you want to make it shorter.
485
2023171
4571
33:48
You lower something, you make it
486
2028376
4555
33:53
less high.
487
2033615
3003
33:56
The opposite, of course, is heighten.
488
2036951
3003
34:00
You heighten something,
489
2040121
2836
34:02
you increase the height of that thing.
490
2042957
4004
34:06
You make that thing higher or taller, you make it
491
2046961
5706
34:13
much higher or much lower,
492
2053985
4621
34:19
higher, lower,
493
2059357
2920
34:22
you lower something,
494
2062277
2669
34:24
you heighten something,
495
2064946
2986
34:28
you make it higher
496
2068833
3003
34:32
is another one.
497
2072253
1235
34:33
Shorten you shorten something,
498
2073488
4237
34:38
you decrease the length.
499
2078109
3036
34:41
So something that long and something that you want to make shorter,
500
2081796
5489
34:47
you shorten something.
501
2087835
2987
34:51
We can also talk about time as well.
502
2091305
3003
34:54
Time can be long or short,
503
2094425
3454
34:58
so maybe you want to work for less time.
504
2098296
4137
35:03
Maybe you don't want to do your work all the time.
505
2103017
3270
35:06
Or maybe you are always feeling tired.
506
2106287
2936
35:09
You can shorten your work hours.
507
2109223
4438
35:14
You make that thing less
508
2114145
3587
35:19
quite often as well.
509
2119300
1318
35:20
We will talk about length, the length of something.
510
2120618
3653
35:24
You can shorten that thing, you can make it shorter.
511
2124555
4371
35:30
Lengthen
512
2130377
1819
35:32
is to increase the length of something.
513
2132196
3720
35:35
You make something longer,
514
2135916
3003
35:38
you increase the length, you increase
515
2138953
4137
35:43
how long something is.
516
2143991
3003
35:47
And again, I suppose you can lengthen the time that you are doing something.
517
2147411
5105
35:52
Maybe in the morning you like to go for a swim at the local swimming pool.
518
2152750
3803
35:56
Maybe you will lengthen the amount of time
519
2156954
3603
36:00
that you spend doing that thing,
520
2160824
3003
36:04
shorten something length and something
521
2164211
3687
36:08
to make something shorter, to make something
522
2168715
2987
36:11
longer,
523
2171985
2987
36:17
you might
524
2177024
2035
36:19
narrow something.
525
2179059
1802
36:20
So this might sound strange because Narrow can also describe
526
2180861
3453
36:24
the appearance of something, but also as an action.
527
2184314
4888
36:29
You can narrow something
528
2189202
3087
36:32
to reduce the width.
529
2192706
3003
36:35
So when we look at things normally, we normally have height,
530
2195792
3270
36:39
length and width.
531
2199796
2986
36:43
So if you want to reduce the width of something, you make it
532
2203033
4771
36:48
narrow or you make it narrower.
533
2208421
3370
36:52
So narrow can also be used
534
2212475
3003
36:55
as a verb to make something less wide
535
2215712
5172
37:01
to limit the width of something.
536
2221901
3087
37:05
So maybe a road is too wide,
537
2225405
3003
37:08
so you have to make it narrower.
538
2228491
3337
37:12
You will narrow that thing
539
2232512
3186
37:18
widen is the opposite.
540
2238635
2369
37:21
So maybe something is too narrow, maybe it is
541
2241004
3637
37:24
too narrow With the width
542
2244908
3536
37:28
you have to make it wider so you widen something.
543
2248845
4638
37:33
You change that thing from narrow
544
2253700
3003
37:37
to wide, you widened
545
2257303
3170
37:40
that thing, you make it wider.
546
2260723
3087
37:45
Also, we can say that
547
2265812
1785
37:47
you widen something when you are increasing the area.
548
2267597
4521
37:52
So for example, if you are searching for a missing person,
549
2272902
4922
37:58
maybe there is a person missing and you are trying to find them.
550
2278474
3153
38:02
Maybe you are only looking in one place.
551
2282044
2920
38:04
Well, perhaps you need to widen the search.
552
2284964
5305
38:10
That means you are looking over a larger area.
553
2290720
4087
38:14
So you increase the width, you widen
554
2294807
4521
38:19
the search, you are looking
555
2299996
2535
38:23
in a much larger area for something
556
2303983
3003
38:28
is another one extend.
557
2308654
3003
38:31
And this is a thing that is often
558
2311724
2369
38:34
talked about when we are talking about making changes to a house.
559
2314093
3470
38:37
So in the UK, a lot of people like to extend their house.
560
2317930
6456
38:44
They will make their house larger sometimes they will add
561
2324837
4287
38:49
something on the side and sometimes they will add something on the top.
562
2329124
4788
38:54
They will extend the house, they will make their house larger.
563
2334496
5189
39:00
So to extend something is to make it longer.
564
2340135
4288
39:04
You extend something,
565
2344990
3003
39:08
you might extend your arm towards your friend
566
2348193
4989
39:13
because you want to shake their hand.
567
2353482
3003
39:17
Would you like to shake my hand?
568
2357536
1518
39:19
I will extend my my arm towards you.
569
2359054
4204
39:24
So to reach out is also extend
570
2364159
3754
39:29
to increase
571
2369948
1051
39:30
physical length or duration of time.
572
2370999
3937
39:34
So when we talk about time, it is possible to extend
573
2374936
3771
39:39
the time that you do something.
574
2379408
2719
39:42
For a good example would be this live stream.
575
2382127
3837
39:46
So imagine if my live stream was only 20 minutes long.
576
2386181
5038
39:52
Maybe I could
577
2392604
1551
39:54
extend my live stream
578
2394155
3003
39:57
to one hour or 2 hours
579
2397692
3604
40:01
so you can extend something with time as well.
580
2401813
4505
40:06
You can extend the amount of time
581
2406785
2852
40:09
that you do something for,
582
2409637
3003
40:12
something we quite often do
583
2412674
2819
40:15
when we want to express making something longer.
584
2415493
3687
40:20
And then of course, we have the opposite, which is Shorten.
585
2420682
3003
40:23
To shorten something is to make it less long
586
2423985
3987
40:27
and you make it shorter to make something shorter,
587
2427972
5272
40:33
to decrease physical length or duration of time.
588
2433361
4354
40:37
So of course I can also make my live stream shorter,
589
2437982
4204
40:42
I can shorten my live stream.
590
2442670
3504
40:46
Maybe some people say Mr.
591
2446474
1652
40:48
Duncan, one hour is too long.
592
2448126
2886
40:51
We can't sit here and watch you for one hour.
593
2451012
3570
40:54
Mr. Duncan. We have better things to do.
594
2454766
2102
40:58
I can't
595
2458719
367
40:59
believe you would say that, but some people might.
596
2459086
2987
41:03
However,
597
2463574
3003
41:08
for those who find my lesson too long,
598
2468112
3303
41:12
you might want me to shorten the lesson.
599
2472183
3336
41:15
So instead of one hour, I will do 30 minutes.
600
2475937
4204
41:20
Maybe I will shorten my lesson.
601
2480558
3003
41:23
I will make it shorter.
602
2483678
2068
41:25
I will decrease the length
603
2485746
3003
41:28
so length can be described
604
2488933
2419
41:31
as distance height,
605
2491352
3153
41:35
width and of course
606
2495523
3003
41:38
depth as well going downwards
607
2498709
3237
41:42
and time as well.
608
2502947
2986
41:45
So all of those things can be lengthened
609
2505966
3337
41:49
or shortened depending on the situation you are in.
610
2509803
4288
41:55
Maybe you need more time,
611
2515426
1968
41:57
maybe you only require a little bit of time.
612
2517394
4738
42:02
So you want less time to do something.
613
2522499
3787
42:06
Here we go.
614
2526637
550
42:07
I did mention this just deep, so you might go
615
2527187
3437
42:10
up, but you can also go down as well to go
616
2530624
3036
42:14
maybe into the ground or under the ground.
617
2534761
4605
42:19
You go down deep
618
2539366
2986
42:23
to deepen something,
619
2543287
3003
42:26
to make something less shallow.
620
2546557
2886
42:29
So when we think of shallow, we mean something that is not very deep.
621
2549443
4821
42:34
So maybe if your swimming pool
622
2554982
2886
42:37
is not very deep, you might need to deepen the pool,
623
2557868
5822
42:43
which means to make it deeper than it is now,
624
2563957
3904
42:48
to deepen something,
625
2568428
3003
42:52
to increase the physical
626
2572115
2369
42:54
of something.
627
2574484
1352
42:55
Something is deep.
628
2575836
1868
42:57
A thing is deep.
629
2577704
2119
42:59
It goes down a very long way
630
2579823
2969
43:02
and we can measure how deep something
631
2582792
3270
43:06
is by measuring the depth.
632
2586062
3003
43:09
Depth is the measurement
633
2589849
2970
43:12
of how deep something is
634
2592819
3003
43:16
to deepen something
635
2596656
2820
43:19
quite often with subjects as well.
636
2599476
2469
43:21
A subject can be deep.
637
2601945
2986
43:25
Maybe if you are talking about a subject that involves a lot of information,
638
2605482
5672
43:32
you might say that that
639
2612172
1701
43:33
particular subject is very deep.
640
2613873
3554
43:38
It is a deep subject.
641
2618044
3003
43:43
Here's a good one.
642
2623416
868
43:44
This is what I could do with this is one that I need
643
2624284
3119
43:47
quite often to energise.
644
2627403
3304
43:50
If you energy wise, it means you make more lively.
645
2630957
4137
43:55
You introduce energy to something,
646
2635411
3420
43:59
or of course you charge up something.
647
2639015
3687
44:02
Perhaps you have to charge up your phone.
648
2642702
3003
44:07
Maybe your phone is running low on power,
649
2647273
4521
44:12
so you have to energise your phone.
650
2652245
4020
44:16
You have to put power into your phone
651
2656632
3003
44:19
so it will work
652
2659719
2886
44:22
to make more lively to introduce energy.
653
2662605
4938
44:27
So energy can also be excitement.
654
2667543
3003
44:31
Maybe if you are excited about something you can become
655
2671247
3587
44:36
energised.
656
2676368
1769
44:38
You might be excited about my new lessons that are coming up.
657
2678137
3720
44:44
You are excited.
658
2684293
2936
44:47
Here's another one.
659
2687229
1802
44:49
Phil Phil
660
2689031
2970
44:52
f i l l Phil
661
2692001
3720
44:56
introduce one thing into another
662
2696138
3003
44:59
to Phil something.
663
2699975
3003
45:03
For example, you might decide
664
2703362
3003
45:08
to fill your mug with water.
665
2708434
4804
45:13
So maybe you have some water and you fill
666
2713839
3003
45:18
the cup with water
667
2718243
2052
45:20
to introduce one thing into another.
668
2720295
2820
45:23
So you are making changes because you are putting one thing into something else.
669
2723115
5222
45:28
You fill the cup with water
670
2728787
2986
45:32
and then of course we have the opposite, which is empty.
671
2732708
3753
45:37
You empty something.
672
2737062
2869
45:39
So maybe I pour the water out,
673
2739931
4271
45:44
I pull the water out of the mug,
674
2744736
3671
45:48
I pour it away,
675
2748857
2986
45:51
it is gone.
676
2751943
1819
45:53
The cup is now empty.
677
2753762
2436
45:56
My mug has no water
678
2756198
2786
45:58
inside it, unfortunately.
679
2758984
3003
46:02
So to fill something, to introduce one thing into another.
680
2762854
3754
46:07
Maybe you fill up your car
681
2767242
3003
46:10
with petrol, you fill in something.
682
2770562
3937
46:14
Maybe you have to write something down on a piece of paper in a particular place.
683
2774799
5005
46:19
You fill in something.
684
2779804
3270
46:23
Maybe you have to fill in
685
2783675
2052
46:26
an application
686
2786745
1017
46:27
form, something you have to write on.
687
2787762
3003
46:31
You fill in that thing.
688
2791216
2986
46:34
And of course, if you are filling something
689
2794385
3187
46:38
you are putting one thing into another.
690
2798072
3003
46:41
You are filling a bucket with water
691
2801643
3637
46:46
and then the opposite empty to take one thing from another,
692
2806864
4271
46:51
you empty out something
693
2811486
3003
46:54
you are emptying that thing
694
2814489
4054
46:58
to empty your cup, to
695
2818876
2987
47:02
empty a bucket.
696
2822914
3003
47:06
You are removing the contents
697
2826367
2770
47:09
from that thing.
698
2829137
2986
47:13
Here's another one
699
2833241
1351
47:14
wet and dry you might find
700
2834592
3320
47:17
sometimes if your clothes are wet,
701
2837912
3120
47:21
you will have to dry them.
702
2841582
3003
47:24
To dry something is to take away the moisture
703
2844885
4021
47:29
you are taking away the moisture.
704
2849256
2586
47:31
You don't want that thing to be wet.
705
2851842
2903
47:34
You want it to be dry.
706
2854745
2353
47:37
So you will you will dry something in the sun.
707
2857098
3353
47:41
You can your clothes outside
708
2861085
2986
47:44
dry, take away the moisture.
709
2864205
2719
47:46
You are changing
710
2866924
1168
47:49
the feel of something
711
2869059
2336
47:51
from being wet to dry.
712
2871395
3003
47:55
You dry out something.
713
2875232
3003
47:58
So quite often here in the UK, if we are lucky during the summer
714
2878302
4254
48:02
we can hang our washing outside
715
2882556
3003
48:05
and it will dry in the sun.
716
2885709
3003
48:10
You can also wet something as well.
717
2890147
3637
48:17
You can wet something,
718
2897087
1518
48:18
you introduce moisture,
719
2898605
3003
48:21
you moisture in something,
720
2901792
2719
48:24
you're moist and that thing you dampen
721
2904511
3554
48:28
that thing to make something wet.
722
2908332
3470
48:32
Maybe you go out in the rain
723
2912886
2369
48:35
and you get wet.
724
2915255
2286
48:37
Maybe someone pours water over you.
725
2917541
3870
48:41
So they will take some water and they will pour the water over you.
726
2921895
5155
48:47
They wet you,
727
2927417
2786
48:50
you can wet something by making it wet.
728
2930203
3504
48:54
So as you can see, the thing that is wet
729
2934574
3003
48:57
may have been made wet by wetting it.
730
2937944
3771
49:03
You might wet the bed.
731
2943033
2169
49:05
If you are young babies
732
2945202
2218
49:07
quite often will wet themselves.
733
2947420
3087
49:11
If you do a wheelie in your nappy or your
734
2951074
3103
49:15
you wet yourselves.
735
2955245
2819
49:18
That is a big change and
736
2958064
3003
49:22
something that hasn't happened to me for a long time.
737
2962902
3003
49:26
Age. Here's another one change.
738
2966823
3670
49:30
We are talking about words that express change.
739
2970493
3754
49:34
Age is something that happens.
740
2974814
3437
49:38
Not only is it how old you are, but also the process
741
2978768
5222
49:44
as well of ageing
742
2984440
2753
49:47
so everyone will age you, me,
743
2987193
5706
49:54
him over there, Everyone will age to grow older,
744
2994334
5255
50:00
to mature, to make something older as well.
745
3000106
6023
50:06
A good example would be, I suppose, wine and cheese
746
3006462
5039
50:11
is both of those things. Age.
747
3011501
4321
50:16
So you might decide that you want to make some nice cheese.
748
3016539
3720
50:20
You will put it somewhere in a dark, cool place
749
3020526
3337
50:24
and over time that thing will age.
750
3024313
3604
50:28
So we are talking about a change that is taking place.
751
3028417
4588
50:34
And of course we have the opposite.
752
3034173
1952
50:36
If you want to make yourself look young, if you want to feel young, if you want to
753
3036125
6156
50:42
maybe wear some fashionable clothing to make yourself
754
3042281
3771
50:46
look younger, which
755
3046052
3002
50:49
you might use an your self to use,
756
3049572
4621
50:54
it is to feel or appear younger.
757
3054193
4071
50:58
To restore you will use.
758
3058964
3003
51:02
It isn't an easy thing to do, and there are a lot of people who promise
759
3062268
3954
51:06
that they can make you younger.
760
3066572
3003
51:10
To be honest, it's not easy.
761
3070743
2886
51:13
I always say that sometimes
762
3073629
3086
51:17
it is a good idea to
763
3077232
3003
51:21
gracefully
764
3081970
3003
51:25
with dignity.
765
3085090
2219
51:27
I think so.
766
3087309
1735
51:29
Although unfortunately it isn't easy
767
3089044
2503
51:31
to restore your youth
768
3091547
2986
51:35
from your appearance.
769
3095017
1718
51:36
But maybe the way you behave, maybe your character can be young.
770
3096735
4855
51:41
And we all know someone who has a very young character.
771
3101974
3520
51:45
They have a very youth,
772
3105944
2102
51:49
youthful character.
773
3109031
3003
51:53
Here's another one.
774
3113101
2236
51:55
We will be going soon.
775
3115337
2269
51:57
Smarten something.
776
3117606
2702
52:00
You can smarten a thing.
777
3120308
3037
52:03
You can improve, renew or make neater.
778
3123729
5905
52:10
You are improving the way something appears.
779
3130035
3737
52:14
You smarten something.
780
3134206
2986
52:17
Maybe your house is old and falling to pieces.
781
3137559
3720
52:21
Maybe the outside of the house needs painting.
782
3141279
3003
52:24
So you will smarten
783
3144849
2486
52:27
the house, You make it look better.
784
3147335
2670
52:30
Too smart and something maybe your own appearance is not very good.
785
3150005
4437
52:34
Maybe you are always wearing old clothes.
786
3154442
3003
52:38
So one day you decide to go to the shops and buy some new clothes.
787
3158046
4805
52:43
You smarten your appearance, you improve your appearance,
788
3163384
5339
52:49
you renew your repair irons,
789
3169123
3003
52:52
you make yourself neat and tidy.
790
3172577
4638
52:59
And then, of course, the opposite of smarted is ruin.
791
3179234
5121
53:04
So you ruin something.
792
3184756
1818
53:06
You make something look worse.
793
3186574
2402
53:08
So this is a negative change.
794
3188976
2737
53:11
To make something look worse is to ruin something.
795
3191713
5455
53:17
You make it worse.
796
3197535
1702
53:19
You degrade that thing,
797
3199237
3003
53:22
you destroy something, you ruin it.
798
3202473
3821
53:27
Something that look nice
799
3207044
1402
53:30
is ruined.
800
3210248
2969
53:33
Something that had an attractive
801
3213217
3520
53:36
look is to look unattractive.
802
3216737
3737
53:41
So we talk about making things smarter, nice looking,
803
3221075
4137
53:46
improved, renewed, and then we have ruin.
804
3226247
5205
53:51
Which means to make things look worse.
805
3231936
2435
53:54
To destroy something, to make the appearance of something
806
3234371
4705
53:59
look not as good as it should.
807
3239827
3003
54:03
You have to more harm.
808
3243664
3003
54:08
Here's an interesting one more.
809
3248986
2986
54:13
I like that word, Mr. Duncan.
810
3253474
1451
54:14
That's a very nice word.
811
3254925
1168
54:16
Mr. Duncan, can you use.
812
3256093
1552
54:17
More words like that.
813
3257645
1835
54:19
More to transform something.
814
3259480
3537
54:23
If you transform something, you change something.
815
3263017
5672
54:28
Something changes from one thing to another.
816
3268689
3937
54:32
We often use it in science.
817
3272943
2102
54:35
We can use it in scientific study.
818
3275045
3454
54:39
We often talk about things morphing,
819
3279016
2986
54:42
but more commonly we will talk about
820
3282452
3370
54:45
changing the appearance of something, especially an image, maybe a photograph.
821
3285906
5972
54:52
Maybe you decide that you want to change the photograph of yourself
822
3292396
3737
54:56
to make it look better.
823
3296416
1585
54:59
You more that particular thing.
824
3299703
3420
55:03
You alter an image, you change things
825
3303557
4037
55:08
to improve the appearance of a photograph
826
3308261
3270
55:12
or an image.
827
3312165
2987
55:15
And then we have metamorphosed.
828
3315368
2686
55:18
Mr. Duncan, there is a nice word to mutate
829
3318054
4338
55:23
to alter, to become another thing.
830
3323443
4621
55:28
So one thing slowly changes
831
3328565
2919
55:31
into something else.
832
3331484
3003
55:35
You metamorphose.
833
3335138
3003
55:38
It is change.
834
3338141
2219
55:40
Quite often with animals, certain animals will change completely
835
3340360
4738
55:45
as they grow or develop
836
3345665
3087
55:49
from one state to another.
837
3349119
3003
55:52
I suppose the one I can think of straight away, all frogs.
838
3352539
3536
55:56
Frogs start off with a small egg
839
3356526
3003
56:00
and then they grow into tadpoles and then they become
840
3360046
3871
56:04
semi frogs, that is frogs with tails.
841
3364450
4955
56:09
And then eventually the tail will disappear and they will become frogs.
842
3369722
4088
56:14
So that is a type of metamorphose
843
3374260
3904
56:18
to metamorphoses to become another thing.
844
3378164
3971
56:22
very nice.
845
3382568
784
56:26
By the way,
846
3386522
935
56:27
this thing that's the background today
847
3387457
3003
56:30
that is metamorphic rock.
848
3390610
3086
56:35
So that is a particular type of rock that has changed
849
3395314
3671
56:39
over the millions and millions of years.
850
3399585
3170
56:42
It has slowly changed due to the way the earth has changed over
851
3402755
6006
56:48
millions of years with heat, cold heat,
852
3408761
4137
56:53
cold, more heat, more cold.
853
3413616
3637
56:58
And then of course, we have pressure as well.
854
3418204
3003
57:01
So this type of rock you can see here
855
3421357
3153
57:04
on the screen is metamorphic rock.
856
3424510
3003
57:07
It is rock that has changed over the years.
857
3427813
3120
57:11
And you can see it looks rather nice.
858
3431717
2986
57:15
Finally, you can also shape something as well
859
3435337
4438
57:20
to shape something, to make one thing out of another.
860
3440075
5439
57:25
You might take a piece of wood and you will shape the wood.
861
3445864
4355
57:30
You will do something to make the wood look different.
862
3450886
3987
57:35
You shape that thing.
863
3455507
2336
57:37
We are using it as a verb.
864
3457843
2102
57:39
So if you make a change to the appearance of something,
865
3459945
3570
57:44
especially if you are being very creative, perhaps,
866
3464133
3787
57:48
perhaps you will create something from clay.
867
3468303
4238
57:53
You will make a sculpture
868
3473475
2936
57:56
or a pot or a vase.
869
3476411
3003
58:00
You shape something.
870
3480098
2703
58:03
You can also shape your own life as well.
871
3483852
3053
58:06
You make changes in your own life that shape
872
3486905
3987
58:11
the way your life goes.
873
3491326
2986
58:14
Sometimes we do.
874
3494346
1017
58:15
We have to make changes in our life because we want to shape
875
3495363
4004
58:20
or life or career
876
3500018
3637
58:24
the way our life is progressing.
877
3504156
3002
58:27
So you can shape something to make one thing out of another.
878
3507943
3053
58:31
You shape it, you create a shape or object
879
3511630
3603
58:35
by shaping it.
880
3515567
2986
58:38
Quite often when we are talking about people who are creative
881
3518586
3904
58:43
artists sculptures,
882
3523291
3003
58:46
they will often shape something
883
3526478
3003
58:49
to produce work of art.
884
3529697
2670
58:52
And that, as they say,
885
3532367
2986
58:56
is that
886
3536237
2686
58:58
we're coming towards the end already.
887
3538923
1569
59:00
I can't believe that we are almost at the end of today's livestream.
888
3540492
3720
59:04
I don't know about you, but it's gone by very quickly.
889
3544712
2620
59:07
Did you enjoy it? Did you like it?
890
3547332
3003
59:10
If you did, can you give me one of these, please?
891
3550718
2336
59:13
And it would be ever so nice.
892
3553054
1919
59:14
I will be so grateful.
893
3554973
1801
59:16
I will be very grateful.
894
3556774
1685
59:18
In fact, I am back on Sunday and Mr.
895
3558459
4471
59:22
Steve will be with us on Sunday as well.
896
3562930
3637
59:27
So there is myself and also Steve on Sunday.
897
3567001
3904
59:31
There will also be some new English lessons
898
3571506
4204
59:36
and these are the lessons that I've been making over the past few weeks.
899
3576160
4204
59:40
Now, I was going to put them on a new channel,
900
3580831
2737
59:43
but I did have some problems with that
901
3583568
2736
59:46
because it is very difficult if you have more than one YouTube channel,
902
3586304
3353
59:50
because then you have to do certain things
903
3590024
3120
59:53
to maintain both of them.
904
3593144
3003
59:56
But I wanted to do them together, you see.
905
3596163
2520
59:58
But it would appear that you can't.
906
3598683
2202
60:00
So what I'm doing instead is I'm going to upload
907
3600885
4588
60:05
my new series of English lessons on this channel.
908
3605473
4854
60:10
You will see them appear over the next couple of days.
909
3610861
4238
60:15

910
3615766
