37
521040
5920
08:48
i was surprised because last week the  weather forecast we're saying that  
38
528080
6080
08:54
this week is going to be very wet with lots  of showers but in fact it is the opposite  
39
534720
6320
09:02
it is sunny quite warm very nice dry with  just a few clouds in the sky so there it  
40
542640
8560
09:11
is a live view looking out of my studio window  oh by the way are you good at keeping secrets
41
551200
10640
09:25
i have a secret that i'm going to share with you  but you must promise you must promise that you  
42
565760
5760
09:31
won't tell anyone else especially grumpy old  mr steve please don't tell steve about this
43
571520
7200
09:41
i have found something disturbing very  disturbing well maybe not for me but for mr  
44
581760
10880
09:52
steve i think it will be very disturbing  he will be quite alarmed to be honest  
45
592640
7680
10:02
just outside my studio window over  there just above the window outside  
46
602160
8720
10:12
i have discovered a wasp's nest right above  the window right above just outside the window  
47
612880
8560
10:22
i looked out this morning because i was i was  having a look outside to see see what the weather  
48
622000
4640
10:26
was like and i looked up and there were hundreds  of small wasps flying in and out of a small crack  
49
626640
10880
10:37
in the brickwork above my studio so but for  goodness sake please don't tell mr steve because  
50
637520
9600
10:47
i will tell you now what steve will do he will  have them killed he will he will have someone come  
51
647120
7440
10:54
and he will have them all killed so please don't  tell steve i not only not only are the wasps life
52
654560
10080
11:06
at stake but also my own life as well for keeping  it a secret because i think mr steve might also  
53
666720
6880
11:13
have me exterminated as well so there is a wasps  nest just above my window i haven't taken any  
54
673600
8960
11:22
video footage because well first of all i didn't  have time and also i didn't want to get too close  
55
682560
6400
11:29
because of course if they find out that i'm near  their nest they might attack me and one of the  
56
689680
7360
11:37
last things i want today is to be attacked by  a swarm of wasps but that is the secret it's  
57
697040
7760
11:44
a secret okay don't tell steve do not tell  steve on sunday don't tell him at all please  
58
704800
7600
11:53
because he will have someone to come and kill  them because it happened before where we used  
59
713760
8800
12:02
to live we had we had a bee's nest inside the  garage and steve called this man in a white  
60
722560
10160
12:12
coat and he had a very long hose pipe with smoke  coming out of the end and he went into the garage  
61
732720
7520
12:21
and about two hours later all the lovely sounds  of the buzzing bees disappeared it was silent  
62
741360
7520
12:30
and i will never forget that so please don't tell  steve that i have a wasp's nest above my studio  
63
750240
8400
12:38
don't tell him please because he will have  them killed he will have them exterminated  
64
758640
6480
12:46
exterminated i did that for all you  doctor who fans watching out there  
65
766240
6560
12:53
so who is first on today's live chat i wonder  i'm not sure actually who was first here today  
66
773520
6080
12:59
who was first oh i see very interesting he  is back with his very first finger very fast  
67
779600
10320
13:09
because if you want to be first on my live chat  you have to have a very fast finger i think  
68
789920
6160
13:16
maybe this week i will i will give  a special award to you because
69
796720
5040
13:24
you were first on the live stream but also  i think you have a very fast finger in fact  
70
804480
5200

71
809680
8320
13:38

sounds very nice sue to be honest i will be honest  also and say that i'm not a big fan of sushi  
92
1033600
7840
17:22
i don't know why i think it might be the smell  because sometimes sushi can have a little bit of a  
93
1042080
6160
17:28
fishy smell and i'm not very keen on that to be  honest but yes the rest of it sounds gorgeous  
94
1048960
7840
17:36
i like the sound of your meal especially the uh  cauliflower because i'm a big fan of cauliflower  
95
1056800
7280
17:44
i happen to think that cauliflower is  one of the most neglected vegetables  
96
1064080
7200
17:51
a lot of people forget all about  cauliflower but it is very nice
97
1071280
4320
17:58

7120
18:57

104
1137280
7840
19:05
aberdul fazel hello abdul fazel and also to  amina hello amina nice to see you here parisa  
105
1145120
12880
19:18
also very nice to see you here as well parisa  yes the view behind me by by the way by the way  
106
1158960
7920
19:26
that is live so what you are looking at behind me  is right now out of the window so you can see the  
107
1166880
7840
19:34
beautiful well there is there is first of all a  little village church can you see that that is  
108
1174720
7200
19:43
a little church near to where  i live and also you can see  
109
1183360
4080
19:47
you can see some houses as well and lots and lots  of beautiful crops growing in the fields as well  
110
1187440
8080
19:56
today we are talking about losing face and  this is something that i always find quite  
111
1196800
6640
20:03
interesting because as we go through life  we always try to put our best side forward  
112
1203440
6320
20:11
we see that as as a way of being respected  accepted and also maybe it can help us to  
113
1211280
7920
20:19
to achieve things in our life so we always  like to appear perfect in the way we behave  
114
1219200
7280
20:27
and also the way we we think and maybe also the  things that we know however sometimes we do make  
115
1227040
8400
20:35
mistakes we do make errors and one of the worst  things that can happen to any person is to be  
116
1235440
7840
20:43
found out if you are discovered to have made a  mistake made some sort of error maybe something  
117
1243280
8000
20:51
you did accidentally or maybe something you did  on purpose maybe something you meant to do hmm  
118
1251280
10560
21:02
mika owed oh hello mika oh can i say hello mika  hello and i hope everything is going all right  
119
1262720
9760
21:12
there in japan you have had a very busy week  there because the olympic games are now ongoing  
120
1272480
7520
21:21
although it would appear that most people have  been talking about the drama of the olympic games  
121
1281200
8800
21:30
and let's face it there have been quite a few  dramas over the past two or three days at the  
122
1290000
6960
21:36
olympics for various reasons but hello mika  i would like to say hello to the classmates  
123
1296960
6880
21:45
to the classmates i'm working tomorrow in boiling  hot weather i do believe it is very hot in japan  
124
1305120
7360
21:53
also you may have heard about the the fires that  are ravaging parts of turkey and across europe and  
125
1313200
10800
22:05
things are a little bit crazy in that part  of the world for various reasons not least  
126
1325040
6080
22:11
of all because of all of the forest  fires that are burning at the moment  
127
1331120
4960
22:17
but yes a lot going on in the world right  now in fact i could probably spend an hour  
128
1337360
5040
22:23
talking about all of the things that are happening  in the world but i'm not going to do that because  
129
1343040
5120
22:28
well i'm not that type of channel to be honest  hello beatriz again hello also sandra gallina  
130
1348160
8160
22:36
hello galena i like your name by the way lovely  name thank you very much for joining me today  
131
1356320
6080
22:42
so we are talking about certain subjects losing  face it is something that a lot of people  
132
1362960
6480
22:50
do not like doing if you lose face by the  way i've been busy looking at the internet  
133
1370000
8800
22:58
over the past few days and there are one  or two things that i've been looking at  
134
1378800
4720
23:04
and there is one thing in particular that  i've become very obsessed by would you like  
135
1384320
4320
23:08
to see my latest obsession here it is so here  is the thing that i have become obsessed with  
136
1388640
6800
23:16
over the past three or four days it  just shows how busy i've been it does  
137
1396000
7280
23:25
have you ever heard of this flight  radar it's a very interesting website  
138
1405280
7440
23:33
and it is interesting because you can track all  of the planes all of the aircraft that are in the  
139
1413760
7760
23:41
air at any particular time and it and it does  it live can you believe it so you can actually  
140
1421520
6960
23:48
look at a map of the world and you can see all of  the aeroplanes that are flying around and between  
141
1428480
6720
23:55
you and me i have become a little bit obsessed  with this because where i live we do get a lot  
142
1435200
7840
24:03
of planes flying over and also nearby but over  the past couple of days there have been lots of  
143
1443040
8000
24:12
fighter planes or should i  say fighter jets flying over  
144
1452320
5520
24:19
and i was surprised to find out that many of these  jets are actually from the usa so we actually have  
145
1459040
7680
24:26
american warplanes flying around in the sky above  the uk at the moment i don't know what it's about  
146
1466720
8560
24:35
but i think i think it must be some sort  of exercise or some sort of manoeuvre  
147
1475280
7200
24:42
but it is interesting that you can actually  watch the planes as they fly over even military  
148
1482480
6160
24:48
planes as well you can actually watch  the military planes as they fly around  
149
1488640
4880
24:54
at 600 miles an hour it's incredible you can also  watch planes coming into land as well on the map  
150
1494240
9280
25:03
you can also see planes taking off as well by  the way i'm not being sponsored by this website  
151
1503520
6320
25:09
before anyone says anything i am not being paid by  anyone this is just something i discovered myself  
152
1509840
6800
25:18
and it has become my latest obsession i will be  honest with you i have become rather obsessed so  
153
1518000
6880
25:24
now every time i hear an error playing going over  the house i go onto this site so i can have a look  
154
1524880
7280
25:32
at the airplane i can see the model i can see  where that particular plane was registered  
155
1532880
7280
25:40
i can also see how high it is and how fast it is  going and i can even see what type of plane it is  
156
1540880
7760
25:48
it's amazing so i yes it's quite good and  that's all i have on that really oh by the way  
157
1548640
7840
25:57
talking of aeroplanes there's one  going over the house right now
158
1557200
4880
26:04
i really want to have a look and find out what  type of plane it is i can actually hear one going  
159
1564320
6320
26:10
over the house right now but enough of that  talking of airplanes did you see the video of  
160
1570640
8880
26:19
the man who was causing quite a lot of chaos  on a flight from i think it was philadelphia  
161
1579520
9600
26:30
and well i will give you the story here is the  story for those who are wondering here we go  
162
1590240
6880
26:37
during a flight from philadelphia to miami on  july the 31st a passenger made inappropriate  
163
1597120
6960
26:44
physical contact with a flight attendant and  subsequently physically assaulted another  
164
1604080
7520
26:51
flight attendant so a passenger on the plane got  very hands-on with one of the flight attendants  
165
1611600
11520
27:03
and then eventually he ended up fighting another  flight attendant but what i'm interested in  
166
1623840
10880
27:16
is what happened during this flight  i will show you so here is the guy  
167
1636240
7760
27:24
shouting and screaming and then he starts  fighting with one of the air stewards  
168
1644960
6320
27:32
something that i can't quite believe people are  still doing by the way i still can't believe that  
169
1652880
4800
27:37
people start fighting and causing trouble  on aeroplanes i mean come on it's how long  
170
1657680
7600
27:46
has it been since 9/11 20 years we should  all know by now that starting a fight  
171
1666240
7520
27:54
or any trouble or on an airplane is never a  good idea but here is the best part of the story
172
1674400
7440
28:04
what they did to secure the man in his  seat they actually tied him with duct tape  
173
1684160
11680
28:16
and here is a picture of him being tied up  so there he is you can see that now they are  
174
1696720
6640
28:24
putting duct tape around the man to keep him in  his seat and to to to keep him subdued however  
175
1704240
10240
28:36
the people who did it the staff or should i  say the flight attendants have actually now  
176
1716160
7280
28:43
been suspended because of it now between  you and me i think the flight attendants  
177
1723440
7520
28:50
did the right thing because you don't want  any trouble on an airplane i mean it is bad  
178
1730960
6560
28:57
enough anyway being on an airplane being  up in the sky inside a large plastic tube  
179
1737520
6640
29:05
flying at 35 000 feet is not a good  idea even that is bad so imagine being  
180
1745520
10240
29:16
inside an airplane with someone who is going  crazy i don't recommend it to be honest  
181
1756480
5840
29:24
so i think that the the air stewards did  the right thing i think the airline staff  
182
1764000
6240
29:31
did the right thing by tying the bloke  up so he couldn't cause any more trouble  
183
1771040
6320
29:39
what about you though am i am i right  do you agree with that so this guy was  
184
1779200
5440
29:44
obviously causing a lot of trouble a lot of  problems on the plane but he was going slightly
185
1784640
6160
29:51
crazy
186
1791760
2080
29:56
lewis says mr duncan there are other  websites that follow aeroplanes  
187
1796000
6160
30:02
when my sister was two years when my sister went  to budapest two years ago i knew the flight number  
188
1802160
8880
30:11
and i could follow the flight all the time  yes it's amazing it is amazing now mr steve  
189
1811040
7120
30:18
went to sardinia about four years ago  and i was able to watch his aeroplane  
190
1818160
7280
30:26
on the internet i could actually see where  his plane was at any moment of time and it  
191
1826720
6240
30:32
was quite nice i could even see it like  landing as well which was very comforting
192
1832960
6320
30:42
valentin says they should have  opened the door and thrown him out  
193
1842160
7840
30:50
still can't believe that there  are people who start trouble  
194
1850000
3200
30:54
on aeroplanes i think of course one of the one of  the main problems is alcohol because quite often  
195
1854240
8240
31:02
on an airplane to to calm people down and to make  them feel relaxed they will often give them lots  
196
1862480
7600
31:10
of alcohol some people disagree with that some  people say that you shouldn't have alcohol at all  
197
1870080
8000
31:18
on an airplane but yeah very interesting i  thought it was an interesting moment of time  
198
1878080
8240
31:26
and also very creative as well even though the  flight attendants have now been punished for it
199
1886320
7520
31:41
yes palmyra says often flights become places  of different types of crime it is true and  
200
1901360
7200
31:48
of course you are in a very small space as  well so it's not a thing that i would always
201
1908560
6000
31:56
advise doing never start a fight on an airplane  because quite often it doesn't end well it does  
202
1916960
8240
32:05
not hello to jesse hello jesse tc jesse where are  you watching at the moment talking of anger here's  
203
1925200
14240
32:19
an interesting question that i'm going to throw in  there are different types of anger you might also  
204
1939440
8560
32:28
describe anger as rage as well so there are many  different types of anger that exists in society  
205
1948000
11520
32:39
and probably amongst groups of people so some  people get very angry about things especially in  
206
1959520
8400
32:47
their day-to-day lives perhaps they are in a hurry  perhaps they are trying to do something perhaps  
207
1967920
6640
32:54
they feel like they are more important than other  people you know the sort of person i'm talking  
208
1974560
7520
33:02
about they always think that they are better than  other people they think that they have more rights  
209
1982080
8160
33:10
than other people you know who i mean you know  i'm sure you've met them so what about types  
210
1990240
8400
33:18
of rage that can exist well first of all we can  have we can have the one that i just spoke about  
211
1998640
6960
33:26
we can have air rage which of course refers to  any any situation where a person becomes angry  
212
2006960
9280
33:36
in an air rage i think it happens  quite a lot especially when someone is
213
2016240
7520
33:45
drunk or angry on an airplane  but there are also many others
214
2025840
8160
33:56
as well many other types of anger  that can happen in general situations  
215
2036320
5920
34:04
here's another one how about road rage you  see so road rage is another one people drive  
216
2044080
10880
34:15
people become crazy when they get behind the wheel  of a car mr steve is the same when mr steve gets  
217
2055520
7440
34:22
behind the wheel of a car he changes into another  person he becomes a demon on the road so yes you  
218
2062960
13600
34:36
can have road rage where one person gets very  angry at another person on the road it is very  
219
2076560
7200
34:43
interesting i always find it strange when people  who are inside their car driving along the road  
220
2083760
7360
34:52
they transform into someone else  because you can't see the person  
221
2092240
4320
34:57
in the car in front of you or for that matter  anyone so all you can actually see are the cars  
222
2097520
7120
35:05
you can't see the people sometimes it's easy to  forget that there are human beings inside the cars  
223
2105360
6480
35:12
so if you start a problem on the road quite  often you might find that the situation  
224
2112800
5840
35:18
will get out of hand it will become quite  serious a very serious type of situation  
225
2118640
11200
35:31
hello to manas oh hello manness nice to see you  mr duncan i have learned a lot from you not only  
226
2131760
7360
35:39
english but also a humorous way of doing things  actually i was just watching your video filmed  
227
2139120
6080
35:45
14 years ago and i was enjoying it i love the way  you are thank you manis that's very kind of you  
228
2145200
8320
35:53
yes there are lots of video lessons on my youtube  channel i will be showing one of them in a moment  
229
2153520
7280
36:02
and some of them are very old and  in those videos i look quite young  
230
2162080
5600
36:08
and beautiful not like now can you believe  this morning i found a new line on my face  
231
2168240
6640
36:16
i think it's about about there  there is a new line on my face  
232
2176480
5200
36:23
i can't hide it anymore i'm getting older  so we have road rage here's another one  
233
2183600
7120
36:31
can you guess what this is trolley rage  have you ever heard of trolley rage  
234
2191520
7760
36:39
trolley rage is something that  happens from time to time trolley rage  
235
2199280
8160
36:48
is when you are in a supermarket pushing your  trolley around and then someone else gets in the  
236
2208960
10080
36:59
way with their trolley so you are pushing your  trolley around and then someone else is coming  
237
2219040
7520
37:06
towards you or they are standing in the aisle  and they are blocking the way you can't get past  
238
2226560
7280
37:15
so sometimes people get a little bit angry  when they are driving their trolleys around  
239
2235040
5200
37:20
the supermarket their little shopping trolleys it  can it can happen in fact it does happen here's  
240
2240240
9840
37:30
another one you can have parking rage parking rage  is when a person loses their parking space maybe  
241
2250080
10160
37:40
they are driving into the car park and they see an  empty space but just as they approach another car  
242
2260240
8720
37:49
takes that space that might cause the other person  to become angry because they believe that that  
243
2269520
7040
37:56
parking space is their space it belongs to them  even though it doesn't so yes you can sometimes  
244
2276560
8640
38:05
have parking rage as well people start arguing and  fighting over a parking space here's another one
245
2285200
12640
38:20
oh so this just happens also to be a word that  is very hard to spell can you see it there it is  
246
2300080
7600
38:28
just below q rage when you are standing in  a queue or in a line and maybe someone else  
247
2308240
10560
38:40
pushes in they push past you they push in the  way so maybe a person tries to get in front of  
248
2320240
8640
38:48
you they push in to the line that also can cause  a lot of anger maybe even fights especially if  
249
2328880
12080
39:00
you if you've been waiting for a very long time  and then another person pushes in front of you
250
2340960
5760
39:09

269
2486640
21200
41:59
can you see what i'm standing inside this is  something you will see a lot on a countryside  
270
2519360
5680
42:05
walk here in england this is a type of gate  that is used on public footpaths in rural areas  
271
2525040
6720
42:13
it is called a kissing gate you will often see  them around the edges of farmland where a public  
272
2533040
6400
42:19
footpath comes into a farmer's field the shape  of a kissing gate means that only one person  
273
2539440
6400
42:25
can go through at any time the gate will not open  right out thus preventing livestock such as sheep  
274
2545840
8000
42:33
from escaping the gate is closed off on both sides  this is because of the shape of the enclosure it  
275
2553840
8800
42:42
is normally semi-circular or square in shape the  gate touches or kisses each side of the enclosure  
276
2562640
9680
42:52
which gives this gate its name it is a  kissing gate it allows people to pass through  
277
2572320
8000
43:00
whilst keeping the farmer's  livestock enclosed in the field
278
2580320
11520
43:24
can you see what i have here this is string  it is a useful item for tying things up with  
279
2604640
8000
43:33
you tie things with string you tie up something  to keep it in place or to bind things together the  
280
2613520
8720
43:42
word string can also be used in other ways too as  a phrasal verb you can use the word string to mean  
281
2622240
7520
43:49
leads someone on by making them believe something  that's not true you string them along you are  
282
2629760
8080
43:57
stringing them along you are cheating them to fool  someone into believing something that's untrue  
283
2637840
7440
44:05
is string along i don't believe a word of what  you're saying you are just stringing me along  
284
2645280
8560
44:14
as a verb to string up means to hang  something with a rope to execute a person by  
285
2654880
7200
44:22
hanging them by their neck is to string  up then there is the phrase highly strung  
286
2662080
6880
44:29
which means to be oversensitive and easily upset a  highly strong person tends to overreact to things  
287
2669520
8560
44:38
he has a reputation for being highly  strung so be careful what you say

aloud for all to hear the word aloud is an  adverb it describes how something is being done  
307
2822320
8080
47:11
then there is aloud which is a verb that means  to give permission or to consent to something  
308
2831440
6640
47:18
you allow something to happen it is allowed one  person has allowed another person to do something  
309
2838640
8720
47:28
the sign says no ball games allowed i'm  sorry but no one is allowed in this room  
310
2848320
7760
47:37
on a side note to allow also means to put aside  something so something else can be done i will  
311
2857040
7760
47:44
allow a couple of hours this afternoon for a rest  to consider something or to keep something in mind  
312
2864800
7280
47:52
is also allow you must allow for  delays before starting your journey
313
2872080
13760
48:08
just to give you a taste of the sort of thing  my youtube channel has there it was an excerpt  
314
2888240
7040
48:15
from one of my full english lessons and there are  lots and lots of english lessons and also you can  
315
2895280
7360
48:22
watch my live streams again as well don't miss  them you might actually learn something from them
316
2902640
8320
48:33
oh you never know you never know that's the reason  why i'm here hopefully i can help you with your  
317
2913040
8720
48:41
english practice and also maybe teach you  some new words and expressions as well
318
2921760
6800
48:50
as i mentioned earlier in society in our  day-to-day lives we always have to try and keep  
319
2930720
6720
48:57
up appearances we like to think that other people  see us in a certain way quite often in a good way  
320
2937440
9680
49:07
or in a positive way however sometimes we  well because we are human we make mistakes  
321
2947840
7520
49:15
but we don't like to do that you see because  then we don't look perfect we don't look as if  
322
2955360
6160
49:21
we are a perfect person it it kind of spoils  the reputation or the image that you might have  
323
2961520
8320
49:30
so a lot of people like to save face  and i think it's quite an interesting  
324
2970640
6720
49:38
topic to have a look at which we are going  to do right now oh i see mr duncan i can  
325
2978560
6320
49:44
see where you were leading now you  were leading us towards this subject  
326
2984880
5520
49:52
so saving face what is it all about well  first of all saving face is the action of  
327
2992160
9600
50:01
avoiding humiliation you are trying to avoid being  humiliated so the expression saving face means you  
328
3001760
10640
50:12
are trying to keep your outward appearance safe  you are trying to save your face literally in fact  
329
3012400
11360
50:25
in some senses because your face is what  people see to avoid embarrassment is to save  
330
3025200
9920
50:35
face you might say that if a person is  saving face they are avoiding embarrassment  
331
3035120
6960
50:42
maybe something they've done maybe something  they've done that was a mistake and another person  
332
3042080
6480
50:48
has found out about that mistake you might try  to avoid the embarrassment you might also avoid  
333
3048560
7520
50:56
other people finding out about your mistake and we  all do it i do it sometimes maybe you do as well  
334
3056720
10080
51:06
so quite often it is a natural reaction to try and  save face to avoid embarrassment is to save face  
335
3066800
11040
51:19
the saving relates to the avoidance to  avoid to stay away you are trying to prevent  
336
3079840
7360
51:27
something from happening and the term  face is being used as your appearance  
337
3087200
6880
51:34
so you do not want to appear  foolish so you try to save face
338
3094080
8240
51:45
a person's integrity and reputation  is saved if you are able to save face  
339
3105600
8480
51:54
it means you are able to keep your reputation  it means your your good name or maybe  
340
3114640
6880
52:01
your your reputation is still good  you have saved your reputation  
341
3121520
7680
52:09
or here's an interesting word integrity  i like this word integrity there it is  
342
3129760
6320
52:17
integrity i'm sure a lot of people who watch  south park will know what integrity means  
343
3137200
8480
52:27
something pure something honest something  that has not been spoiled by anything else  
344
3147680
7120
52:35
integrity or should i say take ready to avoid  admitting a mistake or covering up one's lack  
345
3155440
11200
52:46
of knowledge is to save face you are saving your  face you are saving your honour you are trying to  
346
3166640
9120
52:55
prevent your good name from being spoiled to avoid  admitting a mistake or covering up one's lack  
347
3175760
9920
53:05
of knowledge is to save face i'm sure you've  met people in the past who behave and act as  
348
3185680
8320
53:14
if they know everything but really they don't  because sometimes they make a mistake and  
349
3194000
6080
53:20
then you realize that they don't know as much as  they want you to believe it can happen sometimes
350
3200080
7760
53:29
and then of course we have the opposite of saving  your face you can lose face so the opposite event  
351
3209920
8800
53:38
is lose face to lose face relates to being  exposed by having to admit to a mistake or  
352
3218720
10400
53:49
lack of judgment so in that respect you are  having to own up or admit or maybe another person  
353
3229840
9120
53:59
exposes your mistake or they notice that what  you are saying is not correct you are losing face
354
3239760
10640
54:12
a person's integrity has been damaged through a  mistake or failing so when we say a failing we  
355
3252480
8240
54:20
mean a situation where a person has made a mistake  or maybe they did not succeed in doing something  
356
3260720
7440
54:28
we describe it as a failing so that is another way  of expressing losing face to be forced to admit  
357
3268800
12720
54:41
to a mistake that will cause a person to lose face  with their peers so you have to admit to something  
358
3281520
8800
54:50
you have to admit to something you are  forced to admit to a mistake that will cause  
359
3290960
8000
54:58
a person to lose face with their peers and  when we say peers we mean the people around you  
360
3298960
6880
55:06
maybe your work colleagues maybe your your college  friends who study alongside you so there is always  
361
3306400
9840
55:16
a chance that when you lose face you might  look foolish and sometimes you have to admit  
362
3316240
7920
55:24
that you were wrong which of course means  you will lose face in certain cultures  
363
3324800
7440
55:32
losing face is seen as the worst type  of humiliation or maybe one of them  
364
3332240
7200
55:40
at least one of the worst types of humiliation  so in certain cultures i know from my time  
365
3340320
8720
55:49
working in china in chinese culture losing  face is a very big deal it really is  
366
3349840
7360
55:57
people will do anything to prevent losing face  so it is seen seen as a very shameful thing  
367
3357760
8160
56:07
in in chinese society and i remember  that from my own experiences  
368
3367200
5200
56:14
living and also working there i really do  can i say hello to the live chat oh hello
369
3374080
7520
56:24
oh some nice conversations taking place  i must admit i do like it when we lot we  
370
3384880
5120
56:30
get lots of people chatting in a friendly  way not everyone in the world is horrible  
371
3390000
5920
56:35
and mean and spiteful there are lots of nice  people in the world as well i hope so anyway
372
3395920
7920
56:46
hello inaki we probably waste too much time saving  our faces and also pretending to be who we aren't  
373
3406880
8800
56:55
you are right yes now i know from time to time  
374
3415680
3360
56:59
even a person who who has a lot of experience  in life can make a mistake but i think the  
375
3419840
6080
57:05
secret is to admit to your mistakes it is  something everyone does i make mistakes  
376
3425920
7040
57:13
there are one or two english lessons there are  some english lessons on my youtube channel where  
377
3433760
5840
57:19
there are spelling mistakes and i think that is a  very bad thing to do if you are teaching english  
378
3439600
9200
57:28
but sometimes when you are typing or when you are  writing quite quickly you can make small mistakes
379
3448800
5840
57:38
and there are no excuses i will not  try to save face here's another one
380
3458480
10480
57:51
a person in authority if a person has a  very responsible job they will often try  
381
3471040
6480
57:57
to avoid losing face i suppose if you are  a person who has a lot of responsibility  
382
3477520
6800
58:04
maybe you are a politician with a very high job  or you you are working in a very high position  
383
3484320
7760
58:12
you will often try to to save face  but of course as we found out recently  
384
3492800
6800
58:20
here in the uk there have been some politicians  who have been caught doing things they shouldn't  
385
3500240
7520
58:29
they have had to lose face they have  been humiliated publicly for doing things  
386
3509200
6800
58:36
that they should not so that's one of the things  that's one of the ways of describing losing face
387
3516000
10000
58:49
other ways of describing losing face to  lose face is to suffer shame accept defeat  
388
3529040
7120
58:56
admit to failing or concede to an opponent  so if you have a person who is opposite  
389
3536800
8560
59:05
or against you sometimes you will have to admit  defeat to that person and again because of that  
390
3545360
8400
59:13
you will probably lose face your opponent is the  person who is against you maybe you are competing  
391
3553760
8880
59:23
in some sort of situation maybe an election  is taking place christine hello christina  
392
3563600
10640
59:34
nice to see you here we are talking about quite  a few subjects today we were talking about rage  
393
3574240
7840
59:42
earlier on and now we are about to finish  today's second topic which is saving face i  
394
3582720
9200
59:51
will be going in a few moments yes just one  hour today but i hope you've enjoyed it and  
395
3591920
8720
60:00
i hope you've enjoyed our time together  on this lovely sunny day here in england
396
3600640
6960
60:10
willian says i think the word pretend  
397
3610320
4160
60:14
i think it is funny because in a  false cognate with my mother tongue  
398
3614480
5040
60:19
oh i see so it goes against your your version  or your translation of that particular word
399
3619520
8320
60:30
so if you have the word pretender  which means to intend oh i see  
400
3630240
7280
60:38
so a very different meaning so in your language  pretend means you are intending to do something  
401
3638320
6160
60:45
in english quite often when a person pretends it  means they are being false or they are behaving  
402
3645520
7360
60:52
in a fake way interesting that  is almost it from me for today  
403
3652880
7600
61:00
i hope you've enjoyed today's live stream i will  give you the answer to today's mystery idiom  
404
3660480
7440
61:08
would you like to see it so here is  the question that i asked earlier
405
3668800
5200
61:18
oh yes this is a well-known expression  
406
3678320
3600
61:23
in the english language all you  have to do is tell me what it is
407
3683040
6320
61:32
the answer is coming up in three two one
408
3692000
6320
61:41
oh the answer to today's mystery  idiom is stick to your guns  
409
3701920
7600
61:50
the meaning of this expression is to not  give up or change your belief or opinion  
410
3710800
6080
61:57
to not be swayed by others and to carry  on with the same determination as before  
411
3717680
6080
62:03
you have decided to stick to your guns so even  though other people have criticized you maybe  
412
3723760
8160
62:11
they've tried to discourage you from doing  something you will say i am going to stick  
413
3731920
9360
62:21
to my guns i am not going to listen to  you i will stick to my original intention
414
3741280
7120
