7
249910
6480
04:16
I've decided to do something that but for some people might seem a little
8
256390
5460
04:21
crazy in fact one or two people have already
9
261850
3960

355840
6510
06:02
on today's live stream here we are day one of 31 days of October yes every day
25
362350
10050
06:12
for 31 days I will be here live from 2 p.m. UK time that is from Monday to
26
372400
9780
06:22
Friday and then of course on Saturday it's the normal time 12 p.m. and then on
27
382180
6450
06:28
Sunday once again it's 2 p.m. I'm sure over the
28
388630
4980
06:33
next few days you will get the hang of it
29
393610
3119
06:36
if you get the hang of something it means that you get used to it
30
396729
4921
06:41
or you understand how to do something so I'm sure over the next few days you will
31
401650
6210
06:47
get the hang of my super duper 31 days of learning English during the month of
32
407860
9450
06:57
October but why am I doing this why am I doing this especially for October I hear
33
417310
8910
07:06
you ask well here is the reason why
34
426220
5690
07:16
video isn't exciting well it's been another busy week and of
35
436080
6040
07:22
course as usual I've been in the school teaching English that's my job I think
36
442120
7799
07:29
one of the most common questions I'm asked during my time here in China by my
37
449919
5701
07:35
students is how can I improve my English
38
455620
5510
08:08
there's one thing I've noticed my fingers have gone dead look my fingers
39
488690
4830
08:13
have got a strange ready blue purpley pink color not very good I think I think
40
493520
7530
08:21
if I stay outside much longer I think they will fall off hi everybody this is
41
501050
6000
08:27
mr. Duncan in England how are you today are you okay I hope so are you happy
42
507050
6510
08:33
I hope so welcome to the very first episode of my series of English teaching
43
513560
6240
08:39
videos you know the world of English is a fun and exciting place to be I'm so
44
519800
9870
08:49
glad you could join us for another lesson why do we need phonetics the
45
529670
7500
08:57
reason why we need a phonetic code is because some English letters have more
46
537170
4260
09:01
than one sound and because some letters when joined together in a word actually
47
541430
5490
09:06
create a new sound of their own also there is the silent letter that can
48
546920
4950
09:11
appear within a word
49
551870
3230
11:29
so there is a small clue as to why I am doing lessons all the way through
50
689280
7680
11:36
October yes at the end of this month I will be celebrating my thirteenth year
51
696960
6780
11:43
thirteen years my youtube channel is almost as old as YouTube itself I'm not
52
703740
11200
11:54
joking
53
714940
2540
12:06
it is true and we are here on Tuesday the 1st of October 31 days of English
54
726190
7840
12:14
lessons I will be chatting with you all the way through October every single day
55
734030
6540
12:20
but the big question is who has decided to join me today on the live chat well
56
740570
6420
12:26
let's have a look shall we oh we have quite a few people already on
57
746990
4890
12:31

58
751880
6930
12:38

59
758810
7320
12:46

766130
2960
12:56

61
776270
8590
13:04

62
784860
6090
13:10
you have to do is press that now I know what you're saying mr. Duncan your piece

790950
7740
13:18

798690
4680
13:23
Australia you see for people who aren't in Australia I will have it this way up
65
803370
6930
13:30
so there you go press this to get live captions it's true you can actually have
66
810300
6990
13:37
live captions by pressing C on your computer screen by the way today is a
67
817290
8580
13:45
special day for many reasons first of all it is International Coffee Day and
68
825870
5400
13:51
here in the UK there is a certain brand of coffee that is available from lots of
69
831270
6930
13:58
restaurants called Costa and today they are giving away free coffee can you
70
838200
7530
14:05
believe it I can't believe it sadly I can't go and get my free coffee
71
845730
6270
14:12
although I did have one here today would you like to see my cup of coffee as a
72
852000
5250
14:17
way of celebrating International Coffee Day there it is so this is the actual
73
857250
9120
14:26
cup of coffee that I drank earlier and all there it is and as you know I like
74
866370
6780
14:33
my coffee to be lovely and foamy foamy I like to have a nice layer of foam on top
75
873150
11180
14:44
of my coffee so there is my cup of coffee that is actually the one I had
76
884330
7660
14:51
this morning whilst preparing this live stream I hope you are feeling good today
77
891990
7110
14:59
I am very exciting we have something very unusual coming up soon
78
899100
6060
15:05
think very unusual we are going to go into another room in the house because I
79
905160
7410
15:12
have had two deliveries today two special deliveries so in the next room
80
912570
6920
15:19
let's have a look shall we there it is you can see two boxes so you can see a
81
919490
6820
15:26
large box and also a small box both of those boxes were delivered today
82
926310
7530
15:33
to my house although I haven't opened them yet so a little bit later on we are
83
933840
6060
15:39
going to have a special live unboxing I know a lot of people on YouTube like to
84
939900
8340
15:48
make unboxing videos so when you unbox it means you take something or you
85
948240
7170
15:55
unpack something from a box and there you could see two boxes so I will be
86
955410
8250
16:03
opening those boxes a little bit later on so stay tuned for that and the big
87
963660
6750
16:10
question is what is in the box well of course now there are two boxes
88
970410
7370
16:17
so I suppose instead we should say what are in the boxes so what are in the
89
977780
7300
16:25
boxes find out a little bit later on oh very interesting back to the live
90

5190
18:15
my moderator today to make sure that everything is all right on the live chat
104
1095690
5520
18:21
I must admit this feels very strange for two reasons first of all I don't
105
1101210
5880
18:27
normally do a livestream on a Tuesday and the other reason is I'm back inside
106
1107090
6419
18:33
the studio and I must be honest with you it does feel very strange being back in
107
1113509
6300
18:39
the studio very strange indeed clay Dare is here also
108
1119809
6470
18:46
zu zu zu CCAP hellos a seeker nice to see you here on the live chat Belarusian
109
1126279
8500
18:54
says hello mr. Duncan I'm only staying here for a minute I want to wish you
110
1134779
4321
18:59
good luck with your new lessons Thank You Bella rusia that's very kind of you
111
1139100
5270
19:04
also Tuan is here as well watching in Vietnam yes I have a lot of people
112
1144370
6939
19:11
watching in Vietnam I asked you to judge whether you are unhappy or happy today
113
1151309
9141
19:20
one being very unhappy and ten being very happy and the reason why I hope you
114
1160450
7929
19:28
are happy today is because I'm doing a livestream
115
1168379
4021
19:32
every day in October also Vladimir hello Vladimir nice to see you here today
116
1172400
10430
19:42
shouldn't you be running Russia at the moment Vladimir Putin now I have a
117
1182830
5920
19:48
feeling that isn't really Vladimir Putin I think so we will see what happens
118
1188750
7650
19:56
hmm Lewis says what you are doing is unique I think so I don't think anyone
119
1196400
8310
20:04
has ever tried to present a live stream every single day for one month
120
1204710
9740
20:14
especially when it comes to teaching English so so this might be the first
121
1214450
4720
20:19
time that anyone has ever done this I don't know maybe maybe not
122
1219170
5120
20:24
I'm not trying to be the first person to do it I just thought it would be a good
123
1224290
5530
20:29
idea because October is my anniversary month of course it is also a month we're
124
1229820
8720
20:38
here in the UK something is happening you may have heard about it on the news
125
1238540
5590
20:44
on the very same day as my anniversary we will also be leaving the European
126
1244130
9270
20:53
Union here in the UK so lots of things happening on the last day of October why
127
1253400
9330
21:02
are you doing it for 31 days well this year it is my 13th anniversary so if you
128
1262730
8580
21:11
reverse the numbers it becomes 31 so that's one of the reasons why I am doing
129
1271310
6630
21:17
this for those who are wondering hello - morose
130
1277940
4530
21:22
hello morose watching in Poland thank you for joining me today live from
131
1282470
6500
21:28
England and at the moment outside the weather is terrible the rain is falling
132
1288970
5890
21:34
it is quite miserable I hope where you are the weather is better but today it
133
1294860
7560
21:42
isn't very good at all I'm afraid
134
1302420
4010
21:46
also we have Andrew who says good memories from your video compilation
135
1306789
7111
21:53
compilation now there's an interesting word when we say compilation we mean
136
1313900
5649
21:59
things that have been put together to form another thing so maybe a
137
1319549
5551
22:05
compilation can be a group of things that have been put together normally to
138
1325100
6240
22:11
display or to show to other people so for example there is a compilation of my
139
1331340
7770
22:19
video clips from all of the lessons or some of the lessons that I've made over
140
1339110
6449
22:25
the past 13 years I can't believe it I must admit I feel a little excited my
141
1345559
6480
22:32
heart my heart is fluttering at the moment
142
1352039
3711
22:35
hello Mika hello I am okay thank you have you had a busy day oh I think that
143
1355750
8289
22:44
is actually a message 40s isn't that lovely one of the things I always love
144
1364039
5281
22:49
about doing the live streams is that everyone joins in together so people
145
1369320
5640
22:54
will actually chat to each other on the live chat as well so I love it
146
1374960
5040
23:00
I love all of that it makes me feel very happy indeed Maria hello Maria Oh
147
1380000
8010
23:08
apparently Maria wants to give me a round of applause for my 13 years
148
1388010
7529
23:15
teaching on YouTube okay then why not
149
1395539
5961
23:26
thank you thank you so much for that round of applause oh isn't that nice
150
1406740
5850
23:32
hello Anna are these boxes mr. Steve mr. Steve's gifts no they're
151
1412590
7300
23:39
not now as you know quite often I will ask you very nicely to make small
152
1419890
8910
23:48
donations and the reason why I do that is so I can carry on making my free
153
1428800
7170
23:55
lessons so everything I do here I do for free it doesn't cost you anything so
154
1435970
6930
24:02
sometimes you might see the occasional advertisement but for most of the time
155
1442900
6200
24:09
everything I do is free so it doesn't cost anything so I thought today it
156
1449100
7060
24:16
would be a good chance for me to show you what happens to your donations so at
157
1456160
6780
24:22
the weekend if you remember I was outside doing my livestream and it was
158
1462940
4920
24:27
very windy and there was some actual damage caused to some of my equipment so
159
1467860
6960
24:34
I have managed to order some replacements and that is what has
160
1474820
6810
24:41
arrived today that's what's come today so that's what
161
1481630
3870
24:45
we're going to have a look at in a little bit in my other room you can see
162
1485500
4680
24:50
there are two boxes so just to show you that the donations that I receive do go
163
1490180
7920
24:58
towards equipment or things that are bought to replace other things that have
164
1498100
8670
25:06
been broken and this does happen sometimes one of the things about having
165
1506770
5160
25:11
a very busy studio environment especially when you are moving things
166
1511930
5190
25:17
around is that sometimes things break there are breakages and that is one of
167
1517120
7800
25:24
the reasons why your donations always come in useful because it allows me to
168
1524920
5130
25:30
replace things that have broken and that's what we're going to have a look
169
1530050
5640

11880
28:27
rainy means the weather in general is wet it is raining the weather is rainy
192
1707320
9410
28:36
outside it is raining it is a rainy day there is actually a phrase a wonderful
193
1716730
10660
28:47
phrase that we can use in English you can save something for a rainy day so if
194
1727390
7170
28:54
you save something for a rainy day it means you put something aside in case
195
1734560
5060
28:59
you need it for some sort of emergency so quite often we will put some money
196
1739620
8100
29:07
aside we will put it aside for a rainy day so I'm going to save this money and
197
1747720
8140
29:15
I'm going to keep it for a rainy day just in case there are any emergencies
198
1755860
8640
29:24
so that is a phrase we often use in English you save it for a rainy day you
199
1764500

32:34
will be celebrating my 13th anniversary mica says I am a little bit sentimental
225
1954600
7960
32:42
today because my granddaughter has gone my son's family have moved away after
226
1962560
8610
32:51
staying with us for a year since before my granddaughter was born so a slight
227
1971170
8220
32:59
sad day slightly sad slightly melancholic even so mica is feeling a
228
1979390
8610
33:08
little sentimental today so when you feel sentimental it means you are
229
1988000
5730
33:13
looking back into the past you are reflecting on things that have happened
230
1993730
6650
33:20
you are feeling not necessarily sad but maybe sometimes when you think of the
231
2000380
7360
33:27
things that have happened before maybe sometimes you you might wish for those
232
2007740
5610
33:33
days to return maybe you feel a little longing for those days to return anyway
233
2013350
9330
33:42
mica you are in good company today we are all here and we are sharing our love
234

2037710
7670
34:07

238
2057960
4280
34:22

12850
34:35

240
2075090
3270
34:38
thank you very much for joining me today hello Anna
241
2078360
3650
34:42
hello also too - Pham who says what is the difference between drop in and drop
242
2082010
10870
34:52
off if you drop off it means you leave something in a certain place so maybe
243
2092880
7920
35:00
you drop off a parcel at your friend's house or maybe you take your daughter to
244
2100800
6840
35:07
the school and you drop her off outside so to drop off means to go somewhere and
245
2107640
8160
35:15
leave something or deliver something so you might drop off a letter to your
246
2115800
7200
35:23
neighbor you might go round to their house and give them a letter so you drop
247
2123000
5640
35:28
off the letter drop off can also mean fall so you might drop off to mean fall
248
2128640
11570
35:40
drop in means call round so if you drop in if you drop in to see someone it
249
2140210
8410
35:48
means you call round you go to someone's house quite often unexpectedly so maybe
250
2148620
7530
35:56
it is a call that you're making to a neighbor so you drop in you go round to
251
2156150
7530
36:03
their house you drop in we can also say drop by so
252
2163680
4800
36:08
drop by or drop in mr. Duncan you make us cry no mr. Duncan you are a young man
253
2168480
9950
36:18
sometimes by your behavior I think you are a teenager well they always say you
254
2178430
8170
36:26

255
2186600
6090
36:32

256
2192690

2237900
6810
37:24
back again you long you feel a great desire for something to come back or
264
2244710
9120

7340
38:13
well this is something I'm not an expert on this by the way but I am interested
271
2293990
5830
38:19
in those types of subjects I I do like reading about and listening and also
272
2299820
7860
38:27
watching TV documentaries about science so dark matter is the invisible parts of
273
2307680
8130
38:35
space that you can't see but apparently they exist so I'm very intrigued I'm
274

40:43
now this often happens when parents have to say goodbye to their to their
291
2443789
5881
40:49
offspring or their children so maybe their children go off to university or
292
2449670
6449
40:56
maybe they leave home permanently and then the parents are left at home on
293
2456119
5970
41:02
their own and we call this situation the empty nest syndrome it is a situation
294
2462089
7561
41:09

2824670
3710
47:08
so first the small box apparently a lot of people on YouTube enjoy making videos
338
2828380
11910
47:20
where they take things out of boxes things that they've bought or ordered
339
2840290
8309
47:31
what is in the box oh my goodness in the Box is another box in fact there are
340
2851250
10450
47:41
four boxes in this box so now I have to open another box
341
2861700
8810
47:54
do you like my knife skills I have some lovely knife skills so inside this
342
2874799
6490
48:01
package there are actually four boxes here you can see there are four boxes in
343
2881289
12481
48:13
this package but what is inside these small boxes I hear you ask let's have a
344
2893770
9240
48:23
look shall we oh yes now this is something I was talking about a couple
345
2903010
8430
48:31
of weeks ago I have some new clips can you see them so there are some new clips
346
2911440
8879
48:40
and these are very useful things these are very useful things they are used for
347
2920319
12480
48:52
clamping clamping things so if you happen to have their own studio you will
348
2932799
8341
49:01
know that these are very useful things if you have a studio where you have to
349
2941140
6510
49:07
keep your things secure especially when you are hanging things up so these are
350
2947650
8159
49:15
actually some new clips to replace the ones that were broken on Sunday in the
351
2955809
7740
49:23
wind because the wind was very strong on
352
2963549
2371
49:25
Sunday and unfortunately it did damage quite a few things quite a few things in
353
2965920
5909
49:31
my studio or should I say quite a few pieces of my studio equipment were
354
2971829
6121
49:37
damaged outside not very good
355
2977950
5690
49:44
so the big package we are now going to open the large package what is in the
356
2984260
7420
49:51
big box is this exciting are you excited maybe not so I will get
357
2991680
10650
50:02
my knife once again do you like my knife it actually matches
358
3002330
3900
50:06
my hat and t-shirt ok by the way if there are any children watching don't do
359
3006230
12150
50:18
this ok only big people only grown-ups like mr. Duncan can use one of these so
360
3018380
9090
50:27
if you are using a knife please be careful I have to say that so I don't
361
3027470
7380
50:34
get sued I love these these are things that you put in packages to protect them
362
3034850
15720
50:50
but they feel all they feel all nice against your skin so there is the
363
3050570
7740
50:58
packaging but really we're not interested in this are we we're not
364
3058310
6870
51:05
interested in the packaging however we are interested in what is inside the box
365
3065180
12320
51:21
so this is going to replace the thing that was damaged the other day
366
3081970
5880
51:27
I've actually ordered two of these so now I'm going to open the box if I can
367
3087850
7600
51:35
oh okay good it says here what is in the box so that's good at least I know that
368
3095450
11669
51:47
I've ordered the right thing now it is time to see what is inside the box
369
3107119
8471
51:55
so as I mentioned earlier in the weekend unfortunately due to the strong winds
370
3115590
7620
52:03

371
3123210

4730
52:29
yes if you haven't already guessed
374
3149370
22230
52:55
the thing in the box is a new tripod to replace the one that was broken on
375
3175940
11560
53:07
Sunday because the wind destroyed part of my gazebo if you are watching on

53:14
Sunday you will know that the the wind was terrible
377
3194250
2850
53:17
the wind was blowing very strongly so this is a new tripod which will help to
378
3197100
10320
53:27

379
3207420

381
3225720
11480
53:57

3319440
6569
55:26

393
3326009
5070
55:31
moment so I'm only on for one hour every day during October so just to let you
394
3331079
7020
55:38

3338099
7020
55:45
Palmyra hello Palmyra nice to see you here today
396
3345119
4730
55:49
mr. Duncan has ordered some tripods yes tripods are very useful things if you
397
3349849
7571
55:57
have a studio they are very useful for mounting lights also mounting cameras so
398
3357420
9329
56:06
when you mount something it means you put one thing on another normally
399
3366749
5070
56:11
securely so tripods are something that are very useful in a studio and thank
400
3371819
8790
56:20
you very much for your lovely donations because of your donations I was able to
401
3380609
4311
56:24
repair or should I say replace my tripods because on Sunday two of them
402
3384920
8109
56:33

Anna Rita and Mika are now going to join on Facebook and be friends social media
