it's happened we are now officially out of the European Union and to be honest with you

it doesn't really feel any different well I suppose it is still early days outside the

view outside there it is slightly misty a little bit drizzly we've had some rain very

windy as you can see the wind is blowing quite strongly at the moment we have a little bit

of wind some of it outside the studio and some of it inside the studio if you get what

I mean so there it is a lovely view into the distance yes it's a little bit misty a little

murky but don't worry everything is still okay so if if you are wondering what BREXIT

Britain looks like well there it is it is still early days so not much has changed yet

because well this is only the second day of BREXIT Britain however over the next few months

things will be changing don't worry I'm not going to talk about BREXIT all day however

I might mention it from time to time so much to talk about today so many things to tell

you oh my goodness I don't know where to start here's a good place hi everybody guess what

it's still the weekend it's Sunday [Music] [Music] and it is Sunday and we all know what

that means that means mr. Steve will be joining us today I hope what do we have on the plate

today so this is the thing that we are going to tempt mr. Steve into the studio with but

what is it let's have a look shall we oh there it is mmm very nice so today we are going

to try and lure mr. Steve into the studio with a thin arrowroot biscuit so there you

Steve take the bait all remains to be seen as we go further into today's English addict

live and of course you can catch me every week three times a week I am actually here

live on YouTube Sunday Wednesday and Friday 2 p.m. UK time I feel quite excited today

I am feeling really excited first of all I had a cup of coffee about 20 minutes ago so

I'm feeling very active and very lively also today is the day when I release publish allow

you to view my new website yes it is official my new website is now up and running I will

reveal the address in a few moments time so please don't go away I won't do it yet I will

wait for a few moments some of you may have seen it already ah if you were watching closely

during the countdown you might have seen it there so the new website is up and running

and I will release the actual website address in a few moments time as soon as everyone

else has joined us because I know sometimes on Sunday people have lots of things to do

it can be a very hectic day of the week Sunday for many people so I don't want to rush you

I will take my time talking of the live chat oh hello to the live chat hello to you thank

you for joining me today Dimas or D mousse de muse I hope I pronounced your name right

hello to you guess what you are first on today's live chat thank you for your lovely message

hi Duncan hi everyone greetings from Poland de Muse guess what you are first on today's

live chat how do I feel now that we are in BREXIT Britain

well if you watched my show on Friday you will know exactly how I feel about it and

I am probably not on my own with my my feelings mr. Steve I'm sure mr. Steve will talk about

BREXIT today I have a feeling is going to mention it but I might have to hold him back

because you know what happens mr. Steve sometimes gets very excited and he gets very carried

away if you get carried away it means you lose control of the thing you are doing you

can't stop doing it so sometimes mr. Steve will start giving his opinion and he gets

carried away so today we are talking about well we're talking about quite a few things

besides revealing my new website address we are talking about caution caution so caution

is the word we are looking at today lots of words phrases ways of describing and expression

expressing caution how do we express caution and what is the opposite of caution also another

thing today whilst we are waving our flag here it is so here is my union flag we call

it the Union flag when it's not flying on a ship however if it is flying on a ship we

call it the Union Jack and did you know that if you fly the Union Jack upside down it means

you are in distress so on a ship they will normally fly the flag upside down if they

are in distress so I suppose for the next few months I might actually display my Union

Jack this way up instead of this way up so I might do that yes is that a good idea so

the Union flag or the Union Jack is the flag that we use here in the UK however there are

many flags around the world and I did get a little bit worried the other day because

I was talking a lot about the UK and I was worried that I might seem a little jingoistic

now there's an interesting word if a person is jingoistic we are describing a person who

is very patriotic so they always talk about their country maybe they are always waving

their flag and maybe they have the flag displayed on their house jingoistic it's a great word

so we we often talk about a person who is jingoistic when they seem very very loyal

to their country or maybe they always like to display their affection for their country

so jingoistic and the noun that we use to describe that way of thinking is jingoism

so when we talk about jingoism we are often talking about an over love or maybe almost

fanaticism maybe of your flag and your nationality so we often use this in a negative way if

a person is talking a lot or they seem over proud or too proud or maybe they always have

the feeling that their country is better than everyone else jingoism is something you will

hear quite often in politics so maybe one nation is talking about their country and

they don't stop talking about it or maybe they say that their country is the best or

better than everyone else is they are very loyal they are a patriot which can be a good

thing of course there is nothing wrong with being patriotic however it is possible to

become a little jingoistic if you talk too much about it so I thought it would be interesting

today to talk about flags so what do you think about flags do you think flags are a good

thing are they a good thing do they bring us together do they all give us a sense of

identity or do they tear us apart do they pushers do they divide us as human beings

on the planet so when we talk about flags we are talking about the feeling that it gives

when you see a flag how do you feel when you see your flag do you have a flag of your country

hanging up in your house or maybe outside your house it isn't unusual to see flags flying

outside houses in the United States however here in the UK it isn't as common it isn't

and another question I suppose when we are talking about each individual country we often

see certain characteristics or ways that people behave or maybe there are certain customs

that exist in certain countries so another question you don't have to answer this question

I know some people don't like talking about this subject what is the characteristic of

your nation is there something that you feel defines your nation so maybe it's a certain

type of behaviour or a certain custom maybe a festival so what is the characteristic of

your nation and the reason why I'm mentioning this is because over the past four years as

we've led up to BREXIT people have talked about being British and what it means and

most people can't really express what it means however I suppose being British quite often

means having a stiff upper lip or maybe in the past certainly during the past 50 maybe

60 years and certainly during the 1st and 2nd World War I suppose you could say that

this stiff-upper-lip always looking danger in the face never flinching I suppose that's

one of the things that might be a characteristic of being British but even that seems unrealistic

so I thought it was an interesting thing to mention because today we are talking about

lots of things so do you feel patriotic or patriotic do you like flags do you ever wave

a flag I must be honest in my house and on my house I don't have any flags here in my

studio I have one this is one that I use from time to time but I I wouldn't describe myself

as a jingoistic person flags are very useful as a form of identity but I suppose you can

take it too far sometimes people can take it too far they can become too wrapped up

in their flag is that a good way of describing that I hope so so hello to everyone on the

live chat Vitesse nice to see you here grace chin is here as well Milano ax and a Kobe

few moments I will give you the address and then you can check it out although don't get

too distracted because the live stream of course is still on so I will be giving you

the website address in a few moments time Rolfie what is the name of the piece of music

at the start of your intro at the start of the lesson that the piece of music that is

playing during the countdown is called elevator elevator it's a great piece of music I love

that piece of music it really gets me in the mood it gets me in the mood to do a live stream

marela hello mr. Dan Cohen how is your mother feeling still in hospital nothing really changed

that's all I'm saying I like to keep that private if you don't mind hello Chris I love

the title of today's lesson yes today is a special day do you know why because today

is palindrome day it really is palindrome day and if you look at the date today's date

if you look at it carefully you will notice that you can actually read it forwards and

also backwards and it remains the same so it is the second of the second 2020 but if

you look at it the other way it also says the second of the second 2020 so that's why

a lot of people today are talking about palindrome day because well that's what it is it's a

palindrome a palindrome is something that reads the same forwards and backwards would

you like to see an example of a palindrome so there we go Madame Madame so whichever

way you read that it still spells the same word another one nurses run nurses run it

is spelt the same and read the same whether you read it forwards or backwards another

one racecar I'm sure a lot of you know these but for those who don't here they are race

car so whichever way or whatever way you read this forwards or backwards it still says the

same thing and sometimes you can even have fun with palindromes in a sentence as well

for example poor Dan is in a droop but if you spell that the other way it's the same

the same letters go the other way so... poor Dan is in a droop and if you spell it the

other way it comes out the same of course sometimes you have to rearrange some of the

letters so it spells the same sentence well you move them you don't rearrange them as

in moving their position but you might have to rearrange or move the letters across slightly

so a palindrome do you know any other palindromes there are quite a few palindromes around so

I don't want to list all of them because there are quite a few but there are some examples

and today it is palindrome day the numbers of the date read the same theo mr. duncan

congratulations on your new adventure sometimes in life you have to find adventure sometimes

to make life more interesting or exciting you have to try something new that's what

I say and you are never too old never let anyone tell you that you are too old to do

something you are never too old as long as you have breath in your body and you can stand

up or sit down whatever it is don't let anyone tell you otherwise Belarusia nice to see you

so coming up soon we have mr. Steve for those who want to check out the website you are

more than welcome to do so we are going to have a quick break and we are going to look

at one of the many lessons concerning the English language that are available on my

youtube channel and then hopefully after that we will have mr. Steve live in the studio

[Music] well hello there my name is mr. Duncan what's yours welcome to another full English

episode coming to you from England the birthplace of Samuel Johnson William Shakespeare tiddlywinks

mr. bean Benny Hill the wellington boots Teletubbies and Oh mr. Duncan oh and also the English

language talking of which let's get going with today's full english lesson starting

from now it would appear that more and more people are unable to concentrate or unable

to concentrate for long periods of time due to due to them having short attentions sort

attention spans it's time to take a look at another buzzword a buzz word is a sentence

or word that is in common use during a certain time or as seen as being popular today's buzz

word is attention span this phrase relates to the amount of time a person can concentrate

on one thing this can relate to a task or an activity a person's attention span is measured

by how long they can concentrate on doing one thing we often talk about the short attention

span of young people the various attractions and distraction that exists nowadays has led

to a belief that people are beginning to develop short attention spans the advent of instant

digital media and online streaming allows people to view many things within a short

space of time it would appear that these days people grow bored easily as more choices means

that they can swap and change what they are watching in a more convenient way the term

short attention span highlights the inability to concentrate on just one thing it would

appear that more and more people are unable to concentrate for long periods of time due

to having short attention spans

the word break might look simple but in fact it can be used in many ways as a verb break

means to destroy something by striking it or throwing the object against a hard surface

to misuse something to the point where it malfunctions or stops working is break to

take something apart in a controlled way is to break up as a noun break means to take

a rest period from work you can take a short break or a long break a period of rest or

inactivity is a break to be on a break means that you are taking time away from something

in a relationship a couple might be on a break this means that they temporarily split they

are taking a break from each other a brief pause or ceasing of something can be described

as a break a break in the rain this means that the rain has stopped for a while to break

something in means to tame or teach something to be obedient for example you can break in

a horse then there is the other form of break in which names the action of a person getting

into your property without your permission to gain entry by force is to break in

there is a great expression in English which is pull the plaster straight off a plaster

is a small piece of sticky material with another piece of sterile material in the middle a

sticking plaster is used for covering a cut or scratch to the skin a minor wound that

has been bleeding normally requires a plaster to be put on in order to prevent dirt from

entering the wound after a few days the plaster must be removed most people hate removing

the plaster as it can be a painful experience some people believe that the best way to remove

a sticky plaster is to tear it straight off without hesitation the pain is still there

but it is brief and the discomfort is over quickly so the expression pull the plaster

straight off means to get something unpleasant out the way by taking fast action don't delay

or drag the problem out just pull the plaster straight off and get it out the way [Music]

dvd-video there it was one of my full English lessons one of the many lessons available

it can you believe it can you believe it I wonder if mr. Steve believes it talking of

mr. Steve it is now time to see if we can actually get mr. Steve into the studio it

is time to lure mr. Steve we have to tempt him and today we are using we have Oh what

have we got today we've got the arrowroot biscuit so there you can see a little bit

of arrowroot it is a special biscuit very tasty very sweet and that is what I'm going

to try and tempt mr. Steve into the studio with right now so shall we have a go let's

see if we are successful there it is I have the plate ready one biscuit is waiting for

mr. Steve all we have to do now is get mr. Steve to come into the studio don't make a

sound mr. Steve can be very shy sometimes you've caught me we've got him um we've got

it I will I will have to try to subdue you I have to subdue him there calm down calm

down calm down mr. Steve calm down hello everyone I've needed calming down over the last few

days oh dear mr. Steve has a lot of things to say now we have a new thing that I'm doing

today if mr. Steve says anything that is outrageous I will press this button how dare you so that's

it so Greta will be telling mr. Steve to shut his mouth today so every time Steve says something

that is offensive or might upset people you will hear the sound if I do it is unintentional

unintentional so there's a word for you straight away if something is unintentional you didn't

mean it to happen no so if I offend you it is an unintentional so it means I might say

something that you might offend you but I haven't said that deliberately to offend you

you seem small again yes I haven't got my high heels on today Oh mr. Steve isn't wearing

his platform shoes oh yes you're right I did seem a bit short I don't put my shoes on mr.

Duncan no please don't please that will completely ruin the flow of my lesson yes he's got his

high heels on I've just in my flats all over I will make it equal okay wait there there

we go so now that's a bit better that's a bit better yes exactly except now really both

look too low you don't you don't look so tiny Oh well mr. Duncan your new website I've looked

at it there is a new website for those who don't know today I published my new website

and I will be mentioning it quite a few times so here it is here is the new website address

English addict dot uk' it is such an easy one to remember so on the website you will

find all of my lessons playlists you will see examples of my work if you are not familiar

with what it is I do here on YouTube also there are lots of sections where you can look

at words of the week and you could even link to the live stream as well on my new website

which was launched this morning it was actually made available at midday today and I think

I was the first person to look at it hmm it was very exciting I must say you've put a

lot of work into this mr. Duncan a lot of hard work I can't begin to tell you I can't

begin to tell you Steve how how many sleepless nights I had trying to work out how to create

my own website it seems like a simple thing even nowadays with all the amazing technology

for for building your website it's you still need a little bit of skill and know how to

do it so it's not easy it's not a simple thing to do I know that years ago it was much harder

because you had to create the whole thing from scratch but nowadays there are things

you can use Steve to make it easier to create your website so tools it is it is yes lots

of tools ok sure mr. Duncan is an egghead anyway an egghead no one no one uses that

expression by the way they do I've just used it I suppose you call someone an egghead it

means they are sort of intelligent yes never or maybe their head looks like an egg I don't

know why they use the word egghead I think probably they associate the shape of an egg

with intelligence yes I don't know why maybe it's a person who who has a big forehead or

maybe their head is round and looks a bit like an egg so yes if you've got somebody

clever at work or they come up with a clever idea you could say oh you head yes so see

what they say somebody this morning wrote a very abusive comment on one of my videos

and they said that I am bleep bleep bleep nerd I can't tell you what the word was but

it was let's just say it rhymes with booking if you are booking so these are tolerant Pete

someone said you are a booking nerve I think that nerves and would be in you would describe

them as intolerant oh no no they're not no I I'm not offended by it Steve I take that

as a compliment if someone calls me a nerd I'm actually flattered by that that means

that I'm a person who obviously appears to be learning and improving all the time so

and also to be knowledgeable yes they were they were trying to be offensive yes but I'm

not offended I'm not offended I know but they were trying to be yes but they fail not unintentionally

offensive but intentionally yes they were trying to upset you but of course you don't

get upset I couldn't give a damn Duncan and doesn't get upset about these things I am

blessed with the power of not giving a damn or to put it another way what's another phrase

you could use you could say you've got a hard shell yeah shouldn't you you've got a hard

shell yes big skin a thick skin I'm not sure I'm not sure about hard shell but certainly

thick skinned and you have to be - come on here if you come onto YouTube and you are

weak and you are easily offended by what people say to you don't come on YouTube don't create

a channel and don't make videos really that that's it so if you can't take criticism and

if you can't take abuse I think the Internet is probably not the right place for you to

be - probably like social media where people can be I think social media is of like driving

you can be offensive and behave in unacceptable ways to people because you know you can probably

get away with it yes and therefore you can be nasty to people because you couldn't say

nasty things to somebody's face you might get a punching bag get punched yes well you

have to be careful what you're saying real life and real life but of course in the internet

you can say what you like because they don't know where you live no and you don't have

to read their their return comment where you have complete anonymity oh I like that we're

inanimate yes so one of the best things one of the best things about being on the Internet

is that you can hide your identity you can have complete anonymity anonymity oh I love

that word Olga says that people web developers are called eggheads oh really so oh yeah you

are an egghead mr. Danes a compliment you've developed a website therefore you are an egghead

yes that's it I don't take any of these things as offensive they're their compliments if

someone calls me a clever clogs or a big head or a jumped-up get I think my mother once

called me that it's a compliment thank you very much that's what I say there there are

no insults an insult is only an insult when you take offence broken and boy says where's

Pedro and then a couple of comments down Pedro appears hey Pedro Bama we have to do the song

of course we're there Steve format of the show Pedro there are tears here too Pedro

Belmont is waving hello everyone well I don't know you get it everyone's going to want a

song now Tom a kiss here every kiss here Olga it's here welcome to the show Lilia is here

fruit zombie 9 is he Eric is here ok matter is here hey Steve Luis is here trying to keep

my viewers Ella is here broken and Bob has mentioned broken and boy broken boy means

a whole different thing in the English language does it but if you're broken it means that

you're if you say if you're a person you say that that person is broken yes it means that

mentally something's gone wrong they have lost all of their spirit and motivation they

are broken they are open a broken person has given up on life somebody they've had a very

bad experience maybe breakup of a relationship maybe they've lost the job that they love

maybe they've lost somebody somebody's died something tragic happens something's happen

to them in their lives and they have been so traumatised by that experience that they're

no longer the same person they were and it would take a long time for them to get back

to normal talking of things that are broken and possibly irreparable are we mentioning

that Oh horrible words today I'll be mentioning it well I'm not mentioning the horrible word

but I'm going to talk about what happened on Friday now we did a special lesson on Friday

all about BREXIT that's the word isn't it I swear where's Greta where's Greta 'how dare

you' that's it how dare you mention BREXIT so on Friday we left the European Union some

people not happy about it some people overjoyed by the way for those who were wondering we

voted too remain we did we did fortunately both of us agree now I know in certain relationships

it's not too far away from where we live I'm not saying exactly where mr. Duncan just do

so I'm down yes just don't say it all they've told it so it's not exactly yes but I don't

think they've told the internet all but I haven't given their names away okay anyway

Nia could be just a mellow of this okay I'm trying to get the flow there's a flow happening

here overreacting this dualism yes okay then there's a flow to the show you see we have

to keep our viewers interested so yes so some relationships have almost broken up because

in the relationship one person wanted to remain in Europe and the other wanted to leave so

they've been arguing and I think in some cases there have been divorces that have been divorces

wrecks it divorces people falling-out with members of their own family I think I've had

lots of quite heated arguments with friends of mine wouldn't it say I have fallen out

with them but came very close so it is what we call a contentious issue oh I like that

one can attend contentious so something that is contentious is something that is always

open for debate so something that is always debatable something where people might disagree

controversial yes so if you are talking about something that is contentious it is an issue

or a subject that people quite often disagree on or even split up or or fall out they fight

over a contentious issue we were talking about flags earlier and a person who loves their

country might be described as patriotic or patriotic yes so we have been listening to

a lot of this recently as certainly with BREXIT coming up here in the UK a lot of people saying

they are patriotic yes patriotic and they've been saying that if you weren't a BREXIT supporter

then you weren't patriotic yes they were trying to suggest to you in some cases even calling

you a traitor yeah some people were called traitors because they didn't support leaving

the European Union which is the most ridiculous thing that you've ever heard in your life

whether whether Steve had weight how dare you exactly but yes so yes all sorts of things

have just got too heated and it's been it's been a very uncomfortable three years and

I think it's going to continue to be uncomfortable try four years yes it's almost four years

that this has been going on Pedro wants the flanks of the world well I suppose with flags

of the EU there's one less now well yes I suppose so we'll be interested it's official

we are out a lot of patriotic people I suppose you could also talk about another thing nationalism

so nationalism yes you talk about people who are almost fanatical maybe about their country

they they take it maybe too far they believe that their country should belong to those

who are born there or maybe they feel a strong identity and they feel that other people can

not take that away from them so nationalism a very this is a word that history has recorded

as being quite divisive that is exactly the word mister Duncan advise it because if you

and of course politicians are very keen in certain countries to encourage nationalism

because that means that they if they get you in a mindset that says that the country you

live in is the best country in the world and everybody else is rubbish then they can use

that to go to war they can use it for all sorts of things and we know that that's happened

in the past and of course the whole whole point of Europe is to is to is to tone is

to get rid of nationalism and to completely not encourage that at all yeah but since we

don't want Wars yes well that's it well I've always found that being in a group is better

than being an individual now generally speaking not not in all cases not in all cases but

because of course a group of people can also be bullies they might be a group of people

who are not nice people so they inflict their their will but being together being a group

so I suppose many people who wanted to remain in Europe saw Europe as a community which

of course it is it is a European community so being part of it seemed like a better idea

than being on your own floating in the ocean by yourself of course this is just our opinion

and it's the other thing that nationalism encourages is discrimination against groups

of people it tends to narrow perspective down to certain groups or types of people within

that country it tends to encourage racism you might often see this you see jingoism

is the word I mentioned earlier and this is a word that quite often is used in a negative

way to describe a person who sees their nation or their country as being the only real nation

or the only real country or maybe they are a little too extreme with their views on their

own country and having dominance however it just really means to be loyal to your country

or to have love for your country so that's more patriotism isn't it that's it well that's

you're a patriot you you you're loyal to your country but and you believe in in the country

and defending your country you are patriotic your patriotic it just means that that you

love the country that you live in but when you start going to nationalism that's taking

it up to another level yes your patriotic you'll still be tolerant of other people who

live there but if you start taking it to nationalism and then be jingoistic sort of having rallies

and and war mongering then that's when it becomes a negative force it's only mine to

be patriotic we're all Patriots yes the countries we live in yes because we're born there but

that doesn't mean that you're gonna go to war with somebody from my point of view nationalism

tends to create divisions and that's sometimes a thing that can lead to well all sorts of

problems I don't think we need to actually tell you yes Nathan Esther seven one to four

has put it exactly right I don't like nationalism which is not the same as being proud of your

country and being proud of your country is just being patriotic being proud of your country

nationalism is a completely different thing that's when you start to want to get into

wars with other countries and of course we know well how that ended well not even getting

into Wars even treating people that are in your own country yeah the people that are

actually exist within your own country let us not forget recent history and I'm not talking

about the Second World War I'm talking about recent times over the past ten or fifteen

years so not not not the Second World War I'm not referring to that I'm referring to

recent times in many parts of the world where nationalism has been taken just a little too

far be proud of your country but don't forget we are all sharing this this planet together

broken broken broken boring I'm just going to say broken boy who did earlier say that

they were broken in fact okay so that they're very interested in our opinions of course

they are our opinion yes if you were to have somebody here who believed in BREXIT they

would they would say things like we wanted to leave the UE you let's be balanced here

I'm not being violent no I'm just saying let's be balanced yes I'm not accusing you've not

been balanced Oh might say what so if I was a person who believed in BREXIT and wanted

to leave the EU I might say things like yes but we hadn't got control over our sovereignty

as a country okay the EU have made a lot of rules which we don't agree with we have less

freedoms and we did before to make our laws be like workers rights things like that things

like fishery policy as the workers rights or things I know I'm not argue about I'm just

saying that's what a personal society might say they might say that we want things to

make our own things that aren't true yes but of course a lot of the rules that we have

in Europe are going to end up being I'm pretty much to say we got here anyway yes well we

as we share a lot of common values yes but we're just putting across not somebody who

believes in BREXIT might say yes I know that but but the thing is the thing is that's all

rubbish because we still create our own laws in this country we always have I mean there's

no lack of sovereignty look that we still we still have the final say on most of our

laws and it's always been the way really that's that's what's happened in this country however

the European Union has been responsible for allowing more workers rights believe it or

not so we actually have more rights and more more privilege as far as having a good job

and a decent wage and things that we take for granted also you can go abroad to Europe

with your your mobile phone and you don't get paid or you don't get charged extra for

it however now that we've left Europe there is a good chance that anyone that goes abroad

will have to pay an extra charge to use their mobile phones in Europe so that this is all

going to be very interesting what an interesting year this is very interesting to see how things

develop it'll be interesting to look back in five ten years time to see if life is any

diff and he Petra was going then then it is at present I don't think for the majority

of people things will change that much but I do fear for people who because I mean we're

reaching the back end the latter end of our working life are old so it's probably not

going to affect certainly me because I'm four years older than you hmm so I'm not far off

sixty okay which means that you know my working life is coming to an end as you are approaching

retirement yes so I'm not going to worry too much about workers rights but people who were

10 20 30 years younger than me or more might see some pretty dramatic changes to things

like workers rights you know but these are the things that maternity paternity leave

that sort of thing yes but these are these are the things that we were improved that

were made better by being in the European Union so everything was was made better so

now we've left all of those laws and rules have actually been pushed out and that's part

of the agreement so the new BREXIT situation is that all of those workers rights have actually

been taken out so not yet but there might be yes well the plan that's been put forward

is to actually just forget about that let's see what happens let's see what happens yes

oh yes oh that's hope I mean we've got to be positive I mean we and half the country

didn't want to leave okay but we now have done so we have to try and make the best well

I've never said that and I know I'm not arguing I mean though I'm just making a statement

so did you be arguing with me mr. Duncan today I'm not going I'm definitely not going into

the street to turn cars over or set fire to buildings oh let's just not doing that okay

I just hope that the politicians make a good job of it hmm but I would like to place a

bet that in 20 years time we'll be back in 20 years we'll be dead though interestingly

Donald Tusk who was the one of the the lead on Europe who's now not there anymore he's

would not retired but he's not in in his position that he was before us as already welcoming

welcoming Scotland into Europe practically which has caused a few problems because the

other problem we've got here in the UK is of course Scotland which is part of the UK

wants to be independent 66 percent of Scottish people voted to stay in the EU okay so most

of them want to stay in the EU so they're they want to have their own referendum become

independent and join Europe which would be catastrophic I agree but anyway that may or

may not happen yes but this is why everything is so confusing and in such a mess because

you have also island which is divided as well so a big chunk of Ireland wants to stay in

Europe whilst the part of Ireland that is let's let's be careful what we're saying here

is ruled by the UK will will be dragged out of Europe and then you have Scotland who voted

to stay in Europe but they want they want to also leave the UK as well so it's very

confusing the only the only thing that won't change is on money so nothing will change

there because we had the pound anyway so we kept that that might be one of the good things

that we did in the past when you think about it Steve because yeah it's still a pound so

we don't have to change our money or our currency at all yes Lewis says that I think that both

the UK and the EU are both losers in this separation yes yes yes I don't think really

anybody's going to win but it will be decades before before that the true changes come out

it's a sad fact that both of us will die with all of this still happening that's the sad

thing so the rest of our lives Steve all we're going to hear about is all of the transitions

and all of the things that are being sorted out slowly over the years it might be another

10 15 or 20 years so there's a pretty good chance that my last words before I before

I shuffle off this mortal coil will be BREXIT done yet mr. Duncan of course Donald Tusk

was upset a lot of people across Europe versus well he was sort of encouraging Scotland to

be independent but of course they've got lots of lots of very contentious issues across

Europe with countries like Catalan part of Spain wants to be independent and that's causing

all sorts of problems so okay to make a comment like that has been seen in this country is

very inflammatory yes they're almost encouraging nations within Europe to sort of break for

it he said his language is that worthy of a Greta is that worthy what do you think so

I'm not asking you I'm asking Greta what do you think Greta doesn't like that

well mr. Duncan what do we I sort of theme to today's lesson no I said well no there

was there was before before you brought me on well you know what happens when I come

on mr. Duncan we can take off in all sorts of different directions look we have a new

website a new website for everything to do with the English language English addict dot

uk' is the new website all of my lessons are there the playlists you can go and find the

playlists just click on the pictures next to each playlist and you will find all of

my playlists and of course there is also a link to the live stream as well so I will

be adding some new things to the website over the next few days but there it is the new

website oh my goodness it's actually happening it's happening Steve we have a new website

and I think ours the first person on there you were you were the first person to look

at my website besides me I've been staring for the past three months and to be honest

with you I'm sick of seeing it so today we are talking about being cautious so you might

say that this is quite a suitable one you could say that we were cautious yes in wanting

to vote to stay within the European Union oh yes so say that so a vote for remain might

be seen as cautious quashes wanting to take any any and any risks not wanting to change

the the status quo so when we talk about caution we are talking about being careful you are

thinking something over carefully you are not rushing into something you are using caution

and of course we can also say that you are being if I can get the word cautious so that

is what describes the feeling of caution so caution is the thing but you are being cautious

you are not rushing in you are not making any decisions straight away you are being

very cautious now I would say that Steve is cautious you are a person who tends to be

cautious you often take care when you are making a decision sometimes a decision can

take many days many weeks even many years as well so yes I think I think Steve you are

a person who does take care you are very I like to weigh up all the options before I

make a decision even on anything something simple like buying a new fridge well I can't

just go out and buy hmmm anything hmm without looking at all the alternatives on the market

and to see whether one might be slightly better than the other see I know people that can

just go out and go to a shop they might want to buy a new cook or a fridge or even a new

car they just see this whatever it is they're all like that I'll buy it okay and of course

it some people are like that but God I'm but I'm the opposite okay analytical I've got

a million more words to show careful so a person who is careful once again they are

they are not doing something without thinking hard about it or maybe they are doing something

slowly or maybe they are not rushing you might say to somebody when they're about to cross

the road be careful when you cross the road look out make sure there's no danger yes around

so you could be careful you can be a careful person a careful driver yes so you do do something

steadily you do something without rushing you do something with care you look out for

the hazards you are careful I like that one you might also show some consideration so

before you do something quite often you will think about the thing you are going to do

is that right yes a considered decision is something where you take your time to look

at all the different options and then make a considered decision or a considered opinion

not it of course if you if you consider other people hmm you might be a considerate person

yes so that you are always looking out for other people's well-being hmm or other people's

feelings yes you are a considerate person so you don't do it horrible things to people

so generally this word means just to think carefully so you can be cautious and have

consideration so you don't rush into the thing that you are about to do you give it some

some time you think about it you give it some consideration some thought we might ask a

person if they are sure about something so to be sure is to be certain so maybe you are

sure maybe you are the opposite and you are not sure you don't know are you sure mr. Duncan

that launching your new website has been a good idea I think I think launching my new

website has been a fantastic idea so you're absolutely sure are you I am sure I heard

certain 100% I am very sure that that this is the right thing to do although as you said

earlier about BREXIT time will tell yes time will tell of course there are some opposites

to being cautious you might you're pushing me off messaging you might be hesitant hesitant

yes you're not sure or you might be cautious you might be hesitant so you don't do something

without thinking we are still talking about caution and being cautious you are hesitant

you are hesitant you're a hesitant person it means you you you don't make quick decisions

sometimes that's quite often seen as a negative trait in somebody if you say somebody's hesitant

it means that they're it's often associated associated with indecision an inability to

make a decision and I'm often afflicted with that I often very hesitant because my brain

is trying to consider so many options that it can't make a proper decision so it becomes

indecisive or hesitant yes and of course I'll be seen as negative as the verb you hesitate

so a person his is hesitant hesitant they hesitate yes so those words look almost identical

but they're not so the first one is hesitant that is describing the action or how you appear

you appear hesitant and indecisive and hesitate is describing the actual feeling or the action

you hesitate you stop you stop you you think hmm should I do that yes that's a more positive

word I would say oh I like this one tentative tentative you do something tentative or you

do something tentatively he he approached the edge of the cliff in a hesitated way yes

tentative tentative yes yes he tentatively walked towards the edge of the cliff yes says

cautious to do something with care and attention you are making sure that every step is the

right step you are being tentative you do something tentatively you don't do something

rashly hmm I like that one that's a good one here's another one restrained something that

you know and again or not so sometimes you're going to say I am always restrained yes but

most of the time not on the live stream most of the time you are restrained but for some

reason when Steve comes on here he likes to talk about things he likes to get very expressive

you're restrained you hold back your opinion you might not necessarily say what you're

thinking you're restrained you keep things to yourself more yes that's restrained in

the sense of when you're talking and conversing with people and giving their opinions mm-hmm

you don't necessarily tell people everything that you're thinking but you can be restrained

physically mmm back you can be held back physically to restrain somebody means to hold them back

physically so they might want to somebody might want to start a fight and then somebody

grabs hold you might want to start a fight with somebody and then somebody restrains

you yes and of course the the lower police policemen can restrain you in handcuffs or

they can hold you down yes but Sir this strain the other way is you're not giving your opinions

you're holding back so you're thinking carefully before you say things or else yes or else

Greta might say how dare you stop wearing thinner Tom is restrained you are holding

back your your real feelings and thoughts oh I like this one this is a phrase tread

carefully as read carefully be careful what you say and do sometimes you must not rush

into a situation or say something without thinking sometimes you must tread carefully

somebody might say to you when you're going to meet somebody they might say careful what

you say with that person tread very carefully because what they're implying is that you

might upset them very easily or there might be easily upset that's how we tend to use

that phrase now with reference to people rather than it doesn't mean literally tread carefully

because you might fall through a hole but it could mean that you might you might for

example be going on a hiking trip somewhere yes and you might come across some ground

which looks a bit uneven or a bit dangerous or boggy and some of you might say to you

be careful over there tread carefully literally be careful where you put your feet but of

course in another way it means tread carefully in terms of because something might happen

to you if you don't tread carefully you might injure yourself and in the same way that you

might say to somebody say something to somebody that might upset them hmm if you don't tread

carefully in the way that you communicate with certain people you might upset them and

their cause a problem can be used literally or in regards to relations with people or

figuratively figuratively if the word I was looking for show restraint again so you are

holding back you are not rushing into something so maybe you see I don't know you go past

a shop window and you see the latest 8k television in the window £7000 and you think oh oh oh

I really want that television ooh 8k imagine that I can watch I can watch The X Factor

in 8k oh it's very tempting but you might have to show restraint because you you know

you might not be able to afford it or it might be a rash decision today so something you

rush into is the opposite so instead you show restraint you don't rush into the shop and

buy the new television you go home and you think about it you don't rush in fruit zombie

has used the expression throw caution to the wind boy I like that one and if you throw

caution to the wind it means you just don't worry about any dangers or problems that might

occur you just do it anyway you can also hold back as well hold back maybe you have a big

decision that you have to make Steve yes you have to decide something but you're not sure

at the moment so you hold back you don't give your decision straight away you you are still

thinking about it I will hold back on my decision you stop yourself from doing it a delay until

you make a decision on something here's another one a good piece of advice here Steve take

it slow make it slowly take it slowly don't rush don't may be a big decision you have

to make in your life should I marry that beautiful girl even though sometimes she throws the

furniture at me so I'm gonna take it slowly I'm not going to rush into marrying that girl

because she might she might one day push me out of a window or something like that what's

in matters of love take it slowly then quite often the part of your brain that is telling

you what to do or the part of your brain which is is is is maybe giving you advice on what

is good for you is often switched off and you might be overtaken by the emotion and

yes take it slowly you can use that in a relationship somebody might say to you that you might meet

somebody and they've been in a relationship before you might be very keen to press ahead

with a full-on relationship with them but they might say to you no I just want to take

it slowly yes let's not rush into things let's let's just get to know each other yes because

they might have had a bad experience in the past or you might say to somebody might be

very enthusiastic to have a relationship with you and you say no I just want to take it

slowly one step at a time you know we're not going to move in together yet no we're not

going to by ring we're not getting naked we're not going to get engaged take it slowly we're

not taking your clothes off together just yet we are going to take it slowly yes does

mr. Steve have an 8k television no we still have old-fashioned 2k very boring just plain

boring high-definition widest a Torino think that I might have an 8k TV thus a Torino see

me as a sort of progressive person who likes all modern technology look if Steve had his

way we would still have one of those big fat televisions with the big back with the big

box at the back cathode ray tube yes Steve would still be watching the big old television

well it was a big box you couldn't lift up I don't like to change anything in the house

any bit of technology or any piece of equipment I don't like or even clothes until they wear

out when they wear out I will change them I don't like that materialistic way of getting

rid of something before it's reached the end of its useful life so I won't even throw plants

out I don't like do you know what I'm like mr. Duncan I would keep that in the last car

I had I had four eight eight yes even his underwear his underwear is literally just

atoms but he still tries to put them on Tomek Oh Tomek I can see what you're doing Tomek

now this is tomek's opinion I have a feeling that Greta might have something to say about

this Tomek says I'm not going to hold myself back BREXIT proves that the British people

are dumb like Americans with their election of Donald Trump well certainly huh maybe half

of Britain's not all of us you may you may make that accusation Tomek towards half of

the other people who voted to leave but of course the problem is that that's what all

the remainers have been saying for the last three years and said before the election and

that made them certain that made people who wanted to leave so angry there were more they

were more likely to go out and vote to leave just because people like us were telling them

they was cheap it well we've had people like this well remain as we won't say that to people

I I wasn't calling anyone stupid what about - respecting people's opinion ill-advised

that's a good one they were ill advised or maybe they listened to the wrong people maybe

maybe but maybe they were right of we're wrong but but Tomek is lucky unit you know why Tomek

is lucky because he has because he's watching us he has anonymity so he can say that and

no one will come round and push a custard pie into his face however if we said that

someone would come round they would climb into our house and they were chasers around

with a big pointy stick yes Luis I would say I was quite conservative but not conservative

in a political way if you say somebody is conservative it means that they're fairly

restrained but when I am in normal life I'm fairly restrained which is why I like to be

part of amateur dramatics clubs okay and things like that because then I can I can do what

I like and say what I like and be it be apart and that gives me this outlet but in normal

society I'm fairly restrained conservative in the way I think and do things but cannot

conservative as in politically yes this is the problem isn't it now because you you can

say a word and this is strange actually this is very interesting I'm not going to get too

deep into this but it is possible nowadays to be very easily misunderstood even if you

are saying something innocently so this is one of the things about being in the public

eye or in the public domain so really I can't begin to tell you how much of a risk this

is as doing this trust me in this climate of people not wanting to hear other people

express their opinions or even if it's just an innocent opinion so sometimes you have

to take things one step at a time we are talking about being cautious so if you take things

one step at a time it's a little bit like the last one isn't it Steve it is hmm so do

it carefully think carefully don't rush something you do something just one step it's a tick

you're uncertain about making a decision over something and there might be you if you're

uncertain instead of taking the full leap all the way across then you might say well

how can I break that down into little steps okay let's take a little step see what the

result is yeah that's okay let's take another step yes everything's still alright and oh

no no don't like that that's come back a step yeah so if there are several stages towards

a particular goal or ambition then instead of leaping all the way to that goal take it

in little stages take one step at a time one step at a time I could say a relationship

let's take this relationship one step at a time and so you might go out for a meal hmm

so the the ultimate aim in a relationship with somebody is to maybe get married but

if you take it one step at a time the first step might be well let's go out for a few

meals and see how we get on and then you might say okay I'll invite this person to a party

or to meet my parents or my friends and see how they all get on that's another step then

the next step step could be well let's go on holiday together hmm and see how we get

on there and then everything goes well and then eventually you might say well let's get

married yeah and that's a good one that leads in to our final cautious word don't rush in

don't rush in don't rush into it we're not saying don't rush in and that's just an example

yes of a cautious phrase so if you don't rush in or if you don't rush into something it

means again you are cautious you take your time maybe you meet a beautiful girl or a

handsome man and you think oh oh isn't he lovely oh isn't she sexy but you might think

okay I will take my time I'm not going to rush into this relationship because maybe

your previous relationship was a complete disaster maybe the girl that you were dating

before turned out to be a complete psychopath and she chased you around the house a man

or the man yes of course let's be equal men and women can both be crazy crazy completely

psychotic so so yes I'm not being sexist there so don't rush in don't rush into anything

don't rush it could be anything you might you might want to build an extension to your

house yes or take up a new role at work you know you know maybe you don't want to rush

into it you want to take it in stages there's a very good expression yes fools rush in where

angels fear to tread I like that one yes there's a song as well yeah fools rush in where angels

fear to tread they're gonna sing it fools rush in well [Music] but there is a song and

that song is specifically relating to going into a relationship so don't rush it don't

rush into it think carefully consider consider all of the things that might happen all of

the consequences think about it carefully before you rush because in the matter of relationships

you might just take the plunge yes take the plunge so you just rush you do rush it yes

you just dive straight in that's all you might be a reckless reckless reckless so now we

are talking the opposite words the opposite from cautious so a person who is cautious

and careful they take their time they don't rush in the opposite is reckless a person

who just does things without thinking you might just have an idea or make a decision

without thinking about it or maybe you do something with no thought whatsoever a reckless

person who's somebody who does something without thinking of the consequences before they do

it so they might just speed down the road ignore all the speed limits they might not

bother putting their seatbelt on if they're driving they might just cut something up with

a knife and not worry not wear protection when they're doing well a reckless person

literally in a relationship I might know you might you might do the the bed bump without

wearing a condom that might be would be a reckless person did I just say the bed bum

I don't know what you said but if you do something without without thought of the consequences

which we all know people that do that then you would describe that person as reckless

very interesting moment of time there the bed bump all sorts of examples of being reckless

can you think of any more mr. Duncan maybe a person who has a lot of drinks in the pub

and then they get into their car they are just acting in a reckless way they are not

thinking about the consequences of their actions maybe a reckless person who just votes to

leave to leave the European Union reckless people there might be reckless a person who

thinks what my country back I want my country back I want the good old days back I'm going

to vote for BREXIT or you could say I'm not sure what is going to happen I feel very cautious

about it or you can be the opposite which is reckless you might you might say oh I've

had enough of my job I'm gonna quit I'm gone hmm but you your wife have you are married

or your husband might say well that's a bit reckless and selfish because we've got a mortgage

to pay we've got the children to bring up where are we going to get money from and you

might say well I'll just get another job yeah but if you just give up gave up your job like

that because you had an argument with somebody or you didn't like it like it somebody might

describe you as reckless if you had lots of responsibilities like a mortgage and children

are those here for let's just have a look at the website again by the way there is a

new website for those who don't know there is a new website there it is on the screen

right now English addict dot uk' is the new website there it is I will put this piece

of paper there so you can see it more clearly there we go you see there it is englishaddict.uk

don't forget addict has two D's in it yes as mr. Steven thing I learned today mr. Steve

found out this morning that the word addict has two DS you only put one D in you won't

get through to mr. Duncan's website because I I forgot how to spell addict and only put

one D in there if you spell it wrong you to someone who doesn't if you spell it wrong

you will get through to someone who doesn't know how to spell addict jump straight in

you might jump straight in and do something without thinking caution to the wind yes but

we're talking about this one I know but that's another example there's a minimal of me it

means a jump straight in you jump straight in you do something without thinking about

preparing without any preparation without any thought come on let's just jump straight

in yes people walk because often that's the opposite of thinking too much say you've got

a task to do you might have a project at work mr. Duncan or something like that where you

in probably you need to think about it a bit but there but you can only do so much planning

for certain things that you need to do at some point you just have to jump straight

in and see what happens and then maybe change your approach as you go along can you see

what I've done Steve have actually above your head where there is a big space I've actually

put the website address so because of because Steve isn't very tall I'm above average I

actually have room above Steve's head to put the new website address so there it is right

above Steve's head so if you look at Steve look above his head and there is the new website

address CEM Dogen says does deed mean reckless a deed is just an action yes an action so

when we say deed it just means you would you do something it is a very archaic word you

don't often hear that word used anymore it's very so action an action a deed something

that is carried out so you can have a good deed which is the way it's commonly used that

experience or a bad deed so you do something bad or something harmful it is a bad deed

a good deed you might for example help your neighbour with their gardening oh I'll go

and do some shopping for a neighbour oh that would be a good deed yeah an action you've

done something or maybe your neighbour they have a dog that keeps pooing everywhere and

you you think ah I'm going to pick that poo up myself you it's a good deed but you wouldn't

have a reckless deed jump they're not the same so you jump straight in without reckless

just means you do something without thinking about the what could happen consequences are

consequences throw caution to the wind this is the one you just mentioned Steve and somebody

else mentioned earlier could throw caution to the wind you do something without thinking

carefully or of course you might think about it briefly but then think I'm going to do

it anyway so maybe you gamble all of your money you go to a casino Steve yes and you

just place all of your money on the table in it what in one go yes you throw caution

to the wind and decide to do something that might be seen as reckless or foolish yes you

decide to throw caution to the wind yeah yes that's a good example yes any any lively liveliness

on the live chat that's interesting arts b30 says mr. steve is more Saxon than mr. Duncan

now what do you mean by those glow sacks and you turn turn around to MIT to me turn around

put your head down there you go come forward slightly just trying to block you on the camera

there we go look at that yes I think so so there's mine you what do you think so I have

a small nose a button nose as I call my nose is very perfect button mr Duncan's nose yeah

beebeep beebeep so like a button that is my nose and Steve's is very big pronounced almost

Roman yet Roman yes or anglo-saxon yes exactly people do yes people do say I've got interesting

observation there yeah I don't think anybody's ever made that observation before now where

is it together I think I'm going to go back to find where it was I have a European nose

because I'm I have a lot of French in me the French people have sort of big noses don't

they great French people often have quite big sort of hooked noses oh goodness sake

well they yes I've never seen a French person with the big nose I think they do I think

generally French people are renowned for having not being racist or anything because making

an observation here maybe I'm being a bit reckless in what I'm saying baby but yes there

is a good chance I know de Bergerac wasn't he a famous French person with a big nose

des mousse de mousse says oh you are very close to achieving 800,000 subscribers yes

we are on our way to reaching 800,000 subscribers on YouTube and before I get to a million of

course I've worked out Steve that I will be 63 by the time we get to a million subscribers

well let's see if we can we can bring that forward yes I appealing please anybody who

hasn't subscribed to mr. Duncan don't forget like and subscribe yes there it is please

subscribe please like and please subscribe you might not realise it but when you like

a video it actually encourages YouTube to tell other people did you know that I didn't

maybe you don't maybe you didn't realise so when you do that you see when you do that

on YouTube you are actually helping my videos to be seen by other people so like and subscribe

and I suppose also I should mention my my website again so there is now a website that

you can go to which which is pretty good Cory V has used another expression less haste more

speed so that means don't be quite so cautious move forward a bit faster that is an expression

you sometimes see somebody might say to you at work who thinks that they're not you're

not progressing fast enough in whatever field of work that you're doing and they might say

to you less haste more speed in other words don't be so cautious just crack on with it

and do it do the job a bit faster hmm sometimes you can be over and oolitic alene tasks and

that will hold you back from making progress and you have to strike a balance quite often

don't you mister don't we having a measured cautious approach but also making some progress

toward your goal at the same time you have to strike a balance somewhere yes here's another

one so maybe you decide to do something maybe you have thought about it Steve and then you

think I'm going to do it anyway yes you say what the hell I'm going what the hell let's

do it so a friend might say shall we go on holiday to Antarctica for a week would you

like to come to to Antarctica and Antarctica Antarctica it's not easy to say by the way

so would you like to come to Antarctica with with nice Arctica Antarctica good job I'm

here and also I think Greta will be coming as well wearing a bit thin mr. dink I don't

think Greta wants to come with us hmm so you might say oh I don't really think it's a good

idea I don't think it's a good idea but what the hell yes let's do it oh I'm not sure shall

we yeah exactly do it let's go on holic when you use that expression it's often you're

you're you're you you've given up being analytical about something and weighing up all the pros

and cons yes you've just said oh let's just do it just do what the hell yes you know you

know you're not worried about what might happen let's do it let's go out tonight and we're

going to go into every pub in much wenlock and I might say oh no I'm not sure we want

to do that mr. Duncan but you might say Oh come on we'll have a nice time come on oh

and then you might think I haven't been out for long what the hell let's go and do it

let's do it let's be reckless even if it's just for one night Cory V says I am French

and I have a little nose mr. Steve well it's just because serrano de Bergerac had a big

nose but don't forget he was unusual by having a big nose so it wasn't because everyone in

France had big noses we can't really it was because serrano de Bergerac had a big nose

but no one else did you know what they say about men with big noses don't you mr. Duncan

big handkerchiefs very quick is that very quick was that a genuine laugh everything

that yes well are you Cory are you male or female okay are you a man or a woman I'm guessing

you're a woman oh of course don't forget one of the many other genders that exist as well

oh yes there's not just two now you know you are in trouble now I'm in trouble you see

I think that deserves ended some you know what that deserves that deserves a yes how

dare you yes you've got to be very careful now in I don't know if other countries are

the same but you can't just say there are two genders anymore you can't just say male

and female there are all that are about I think that the last count somebody said I

saw somebody on television saying that there were 12 different genders now I think it's

no I think it's about isn't it about 40 there's about 40 shorts that many is it mister anyway

that's a whole new subject that that's it we don't want to get into mainly because I

don't know very much about so if if we at some point today if we miss gender you I'm

very sorry about that but to be honest with you I am really confused by it to be honest

and and yes I know yes Ralphie says May it's a very good point Ralphie's sometimes we have

to take a risk and you're absolutely right if you don't take risks in life then you won't

achieve very much but you can take risks and fail hmm but then you can try again just failing

doesn't mean in it's like learning English you might you might fail an exam but you'll

learn from that mistake and then you will be better the next time yes you do have to

take risks in life it doesn't have to be a risk that means involving putting your life

in danger no but you have to take some risks otherwise you often won't achieve very much

and the people that achieve the most in life are often the people that take the most risks

but the difference between the people that take risks and achieve something and the people

that take risks that don't is that people that take the risks and fail keep on trying

and learn from their mistakes will carry on and on and on eventually their each huge have

huge achievement of course it can kill you as well being reckless so sometimes if you

do something may be a dangerous sport maybe you just decide to climb up the side of the

Eiffel Tower without any support so you climb all the way up there but somebody did that

recently but just before you get to the top you slip and you fall and you you just end

up on the ground so it may have seemed like a good idea at the time but unfortunately

well sometimes a decision can turn out to be a bad decision so being reckless sometimes

can be a little thing yes being reckless is different to taking a risk if you take a risk

that doesn't mean that it's being you're being reckless it just means that you are making

a decision to do something and you're not entirely certain of the outcome but it's not

something that's going to necessarily be very dangerous I think have we yes it says though

there's only three people watching oh no it's gone back to 150 I don't know what I've been

offline no it's okay it's just it's just YouTube YouTube at the moment is really weird I don't

know what they're doing at YouTube please YouTube can you sort out what's going on there

I think my web my website works better than YouTube yes you have a mr. Duncan's website

you show no restraint so you show no restraint you don't hold back maybe you are expressing

your feelings about something yes so you show no restraint you don't hold back you tell

everybody what you're thinking they know exactly what you think there is no caution you also

don't see mr. Duncan you don't hesitate well I did tell you that we're going in 10 minutes

I'm grateful I am well yes maybe I want to go for a run before a case down okay then

that's good Steve that's good information are we are we coming with you no okay don't

hesitate don't hold back don't hesitate so maybe a person is in need of help or maybe

they are in a bad situation that they can't control and perhaps you give them your phone

number so maybe I will give you my phone number and I might say look if you want to talk to

someone don't hesitate to call me so don't hesitate don't think about it don't hesitate

don't wait don't put it off it means that you don't mind I often use that phrase when

I'm dealing with my customers at work all right they might ask me for some information

and I might give that information to them and then they might reply and say thank you

very much and I might then reply back and say well if you ever need any help from me

again don't hesitate to get into it you it's an expression that just means you're trying

to suggest to them not to not to think about hmm whether they should contact you or not

they should just do it anyway don't hesitate fruit zombie oh I like this one fruit zombie

says fortune favours the bold yes yes yeah sometimes you do have to be brave and take

a risk take a risk you might say that doing this is taking a risk as I said earlier because

we put ourselves in the public domain if you go to Facebook if you look at my Facebook

page I am now classed as a public figure I'm now a public figure because I've been in the

public domain for so many years even Facebook has given me a little blue tick it says that

I'm actually a public figure so because I've been doing this for so long Steve I'm now

officially a public figure whatever that means so that's it because now I'm out there I can't

take that away when you think about it it's very hard to take that back so maybe sometimes

you have to be a bit bold or a bit brave to do certain things and I think this is a good

example but most of us when you think about it most of us in our line if you percent of

people in work particularly in work will often stay in the same job for many many years because

you get very safe I'm an exact example of that and work for the same company for the

last 23 years I probably should have taken a risk and applied for jobs with other companies

and a lot of people will relate to this because when you do that you often what you often

forget just what value you do have at work and how good you are at something and if you

update your CV go for job interviews you might be offered more pay mm-hmm and the job might

be more interesting you have more responsibility fortune favours the bold take a bit of a risk

in terms of financial matters people often a very cautious and they will just put their

money into a low-interest bank account when maybe they should be investing it in stocks

and shares because overall a long period of time you're likely to get a much better return

although we're not not experts on there no but just yeah another example would be I've

got a very good example in mr. Duncan when it comes to moving house in the UK the costs

of properties have have generally gone up by far more than inflation over the years

we stayed in a house of Wolverhampton for 20 years in that period of time I got friends

that have moved two or three times in that period and because of that and the value of

their house had gone up they took that risk and they're now living in houses worth twice

the value of the house we're living in so yes taking a bit of a risk throwing caution

to the wind and but yeah yeah well talking of investing in shares you might often hear

a person say get in quick getting quick so get in quick so maybe there is an opportunity

that comes along maybe there is an investment that you can actually put some money in and

maybe in the future it will make you a lot of cash they might say oh don't wait don't

hesitate get in quick don't hang around or maybe getting quickly but you will often hear

this said get in quick don't hesitate don't wait get in quick or else you might out you

miss 100% of the shots you don't take yes sir as long as the risk is as long as the

risk is you you've got a fallback plan and you're not going to lose everything then you

know it's it's you only live once yes nothing ventured nothing gained yes nothing ventured

nothing gained take a risk sometimes you have to as you said just sometimes in life you

have to take a risk you have to push yourself forward to do something maybe business I always

think business is risk always yes I don't think there's any such thing as business that

is definitely going to make money for you there's no such thing so all business is a

risk but sometimes you just have to take a risk maybe you might say that my new website

is me taking a risk so I'm not I'm not sure what the outcome would be make making livestreams

rather than pre-recorded one yes this is risk yeah this is a big big risk it's successful

so you could probably say that it was a it was a well judged thing to do I still think

it's a big risk so take a risk you do something Nana says you're a hero of the English teaching

world really thank you Anna that's very kind of you yes a calculated risk yes it means

that you're you're taking a jump forward but you've you've done as much assessment of that

risk you're going to take as you possibly could so investing in stocks and shares for

example a calculated risk would be to to have a balanced portfolio so that you're investing

in lots of different areas so you might put lots of money into it but you're not putting

it into just one company for example which would be a very big risk mean taking a calculated

risk you've thought about it and you've you've weighed up all the possible things that could

go wrong but you still think there's a very high chance of what you're doing will be successful

so therefore you can say I'm going to do that the other thing we're risking money with investments

is quite often you'll hedge your bets is that good phrase hedge abets yes hedge abets yes

it is an expression for example yes if you hedge your bets it means that you you put

you put risk into into other lots of different areas spreading your reading your risk it's

a bit like going to a roulette table and you put your little chips on many parts of the

table so you might lose some money but then you might gain a lot of money from one of

the things that you put the chips on so investing is a little bit like that so a lot of people

will hedge their bets it means they will spread them around like yes if they're betting on

the horses are you surprised that I know that yes if you're a gambling person and for example

if you if you if you gamble on horses or the ponies as they say in America I think then

you might not put say you've got a hundred pounds that you want to gamble instead of

putting it all on one horse you might put it on a few yes hedge abets anyway we must

move on go blindly I like this Belarusia Belarus is going by Belarusia of a good rest of your

day go blindly to go blindly is to do something without maybe any experience any knowledge

of something so you go blindly you pursue something you you start your journey but you

don't really know where you will end up you don't know what will happen or maybe also

you have no experience or knowledge so you might go blindly into something going blind

yeah there's another way of using that expression maybe you get married and you've never been

married before despite all of the warnings from everyone else telling you not to do it

you you still decide to Oh blindly into the marriage because you've never been married

before you've never had experience of that thing so you don't know you don't know what

will happen you can't see what's going to happen but you do it anyway and you might

say that that was reckless hmm here's another one we are coming up to two hours we are been

here for two hours can you believe it oh here's a good one I like this one what does this

mean to you out there your leap of faith I like this one now this this conjures this

brings around many thoughts and feelings I always think if you have a leap of faith it

means you do something based on a belief you're going away Steve Ryback says I'm getting tired

mr. Duncan I like the way Steve slowly disappears so your leap of faith is is on something that

you believe in personally so maybe a thing that you believe will be the right thing to

do based on your own belief so something that comes from within maybe the thing you believe

in a leap of faith sometimes we all do things based on leaps yes a faith it's often when

you've got gaps in knowledge about something that you might take a leap of faith so for

example if you were interviewing somebody for a new job if you were interviewing a new

person for a particular role you might have certain bits of information about them but

you might not have all the information but from what you've seen of that person and the

questions you've asked you might be prepared to give them a job hmm and you might use expression

to a colleague oh I think they would be all right so yeah we don't know exactly whether

they will be able to do this job or not but I think from what they've said they will so

let's take a leap of faith hmm I believe it in this particular person I think they will

be good I don't know for certain because I haven't got all the information but I will

take a leap of faith and offer them the job I like this expression I'll be honest with

you I lied I do like this because we often do things in life without really knowing what

the consequence will be so I'm going to get Steve sort of a pole or tie him to something

next week so he doesn't keep disappearing off the screen yes yes I like this leap of

faith this is though it might seem like a strange thing to me lot for me to like because

I don't have faith as a in religion I'm not a religious person however sometimes you have

to have faith in yourself and your abilities so you can have inner faith I suppose in that

sense you are doing something based on your self belief as well which is a thing that

I'm I'm a very big fan of something I've learned a lot about over the past somebody might come

to you with an investment opportunity and you know the person quite well that's coming

to you with that opportunity but you don't really know whether that investment is any

good or not but because you trust the person you have faith in them you might say okay

I'll put some money into this hmm I'll take a leap of faith but if you believe in that

person you don't necessarily believe in the investment itself it's just like the example

I used about interviewing somebody at work quite often we have to make leaps of faith

because we don't have all the information at our disposal and we might have to make

a quick decision or or a decision yes quickly yes omus says this is very interesting omma

says leap of faith is pursuing faith without applying rationality and intellect yes it

comes from a feeling it doesn't necessarily mean that though I think that's the definition

of it yes but if you would see you it doesn't necessarily mean that you haven't applied

any intellect or rationality into it that example I used about somebody at work you

would it just means the gap in the knowledge that you have for you to make a decision yes

but so quite often a leap of faith might come from some information we have but quite often

it's some I think the best the best way of looking at it Steve is you close your eyes

and you step forward to do it yes there's a moment where you suddenly think I will either

do this or I won't do it so sometimes you just need that that faith in yourself that

that belief to move forward and actually do something so I think yes I think that's a

good one we've got one more Steve one more one more jump in with both feet I like this

one you jump in with both feet you do something without hesitation you don't think too much

about it you do it without putting too much thought or without hesitating I suppose you

jump in with both feet the opposite of that would be that you're just putting a toe just

put one toe in the water yes I like that one yes if you if you if somebody's being very

cautious about doing something you might say that you I'll just dip my toe in the water

and see what it's you don't mean literally mmm that just mean if you were just to dip

your toe in some water to see if it was cold dipping one toe in would give you an idea

of what it was like it's a figure of speech a figure of speech if you just jumped into

the into a lake with both feet you might be freezing cold so you might get a bit of a

shock but yes it just means testing your way forward but that expression means that you

don't you don't bother trying it out first to see what it could be like you just ghost

you just jump straight in yeah so this actually is figurative as well so you're not literally

jumping into something we are using this as a figurative expression or I suppose an idiom

I think people are getting slightly confused with that the the use of our word faith we're

not meaning religious faith we're not meaning faith in religious connotations to the phrase

leap of faith it just means I mean religion is a faith yes but we're using it in a way

to to to express ordinary day-to-day things that you might and also generically faith

is belief so faith is just belief having trust in either yourself or something else or maybe

even yes we're not talking about or evilly jin-hee or even but we're not talking about

that here we're not talking about religious faith no we're talking about faith in something

that you want to do that's what we're talking about although having said that some people

might use their religious faith for as a reason to do something so yes I am I do but that's

the expression that's it leap of faith it's got nothing to do with religion that's it

yes I'm glad we've cleared that up so yes take the gamble yes so they will gamble they

will take a gamble it is a leap of faith that it is something you are stepping into the

knowledge gap yes wrapping your knowledge somewhere or stepping into the unknown without

any real life you can do this thing or you think somebody else can you've got some information

but not all the information so that gap is the leap between what you know and what you

don't know is based on intuition I'd often so yes I think self belief in self faith is

is one of the strongest motivators certainly for from my point of view you might have a

period of time where you lose faith now you see you lose faith in yourself you lose faith

in other people if they let you down or disappoint you so so I think it's just a tiny word such

a tiny tiny word the word faith just and yet faith has has it's quite a it's almost a paradigm

I always think faith mr. Duncan I'm going to go okay because as you know I like to go

for a little run okay to get some exercise can I just show you something because it's

your birthday this month isn't it it is it is it's your birthday this month won't say

when and and I've got a great idea for mr. Steve's birthday I don't know what you think

about this Steve but but here is here is my idea for mr. Steve's birthday present what

do you think about this Steve that's no it's no ordinary toilet oh it's an automatic toilet

that will raise you up and then when you sit on it it will slowly lower you down so you

can take your plop in comfort I think that is for people of a certain age who are struggling

with mobility yes and that is not me because I'm about to go for a run mister don't concern

that is very rude and offensive tisn't offensive well I'm joking I'm not joking what greta

thinks of it I'm sick to death of greta mr. Duncan I think you've you've worn that joke

right out okay so you heard it here first mr. Steve is sick of Greta so that's all actually

there are 28 days this year in that case it is sure 28 days in February is it the second

today today is the second yes the second day of BREXIT it's like a on the second on the

second day of BREXIT my true love gave to me a passport that looked slightly different
