Welcome to a windy day in England.

It is rather blustery, to say the least.
1
240371
4171
04:05
We are back here again.
2
245026
1618
04:06
We are live from the birthplace of the English language.
3
246644
4221
04:11
You know where that is?
4
251315
1452
04:12
I know where that is.
5
252767
1585
04:14
We'll know where it is.
6
254352
1868
04:16
Of course it is.
7
256220
1819
04:18
England
8
258039
1668
04:33
We are back together again.
9
273320
4388
04:37
And it's ever so nice to be with you once more.
10
277725
3053
04:41
Hi, everybody.
11
281045
1334
04:42
This is Mr.
12
282379
2520
04:44
Duncan in England. How are you today?
13
284899
2869
04:47
Are you okay?
14
287768
1084
04:48
I hope so. Are you feeling happy today?
15
288852
2636
04:51
I hope so.
16
291488
1235
04:52
The weather here in England at the moment is not very good.
17
292723
3687
04:56
It's very wet, windy.
18
296410
3003
04:59
It's dull.
19
299713
1802
05:01
It's not too cold.
20
301515
1852
05:03
We have around 12 Celsius,
21
303367
3303
05:07
which I suppose is about average for this time of year.
22
307187
4321
05:11
April is here.
23
311859
2252
05:14
Happy April, everyone.
24
314111
2519
05:16
I wonder, did you get caught out by any.
25
316630
4705
05:21
April Fool's jokes?
26
321368
3003
05:24
Traditionally, on the 1st of April, a lot of people like to play tricks
27
324521
4888
05:29
or pretend that something has happened when it hasn't.
28
329409
3454
05:33
We like to fool other people to fool someone.
29
333313
5422
05:38
The word fool is
30
338835
2853
05:42
a verb.
31
342906
1335
05:44
It can also be a noun.
32
344241
2152
05:46
So the person is the fool
33
346393
3003
05:49
or you can fool another person.
34
349696
3720
05:53
You can play a trick on them.
35
353450
2269
05:55
You can do something to deceive them
36
355719
3270
05:59
and make them look very silly.
37
359389
3353
06:02
I hope you are okay today.
38
362926
1702
06:04
It's nice to see you here on the live chat.
39
364628
2469
06:07
Even though things seem to be a little bit slow today.
40
367097
3603
06:11
What is happening is something happening that I don't know about.
41
371084
4371
06:15
I wonder.
42
375739
1251
06:16
I was expecting a few more people joining me.
43
376990
4121
06:21
I have a feeling it is connected to the fact that last weekend
44
381411
5539
06:26
we did put the clocks forward by one hour.
45
386950
3904
06:31
So for some of you, maybe the time is a little bit different.
46
391087
3787
06:34
So that might be the reason I would not be surprised
47
394991
3487
06:38
if one or two people join me later on and they say, Mr.
48
398895
4404
06:43
Duncan,
49
403299
484
06:45
why are you on so early?
50
405018
2519
06:47
And I will say, no, we have changed the clocks here in the UK.
51
407537
5372
06:53
So my name is Duncan. I talk about English.
52
413176
3086
06:56
You might say that I am one of these right here,
53
416479
3170
07:00
an English addict,
54
420850
2102
07:02
and I have a feeling maybe you are one of those as well.
55
422952
3837
07:07
If you like this.
56
427056
2402
07:09
I know I haven't started yet.
57
429458
2703
07:12
This might be a load of rubbish.
58
432161
1685
07:13
Who knows?
59
433846
1385
07:15
But if you like this already you are thinking,
60
435231
3537
07:19
who is that handsome young man on my screen?
61
439602
4354
07:24
I will give him one of these, please.
62
444223
2586
07:26
Could you do that?
63
446809
834
07:27
It would be ever so nice.
64
447643
2936
07:30
We have a busy month coming up, by the way.
65
450579
3070
07:33
Many things happening during April.
66
453699
3454
07:37
Happy April, by the way.
67
457219
1518
07:40
Is it okay?
68
460089
634
07:40
So far we are only three days into the new month, so I hope it's going well.
69
460723
5121
07:46
We have a lot of things coming up.
70
466145
1835
07:47
We have my new YouTube channel.
71
467980
5639
07:54
You might not believe this, but I was working on some of the information,
72
474136
5722
07:59
some of the things connected to my new YouTube channel
73
479858
4121
08:05
way into the early hours of this morning.
74
485197
3153
08:08
I couldn't sleep last night.
75
488350
1835
08:10
I will tell you why.
76
490185
1552
08:11
We went out for a meal yesterday. Mr.
77
491737
2502
08:14
Steve and myself, we had a nice meal.
78
494239
2636
08:16
The only problem was, I think I may have eaten too much food.
79
496875
4355
08:21
We had the most delicious food.
80
501430
2402
08:23
I had a very large potato
81
503832
4655
08:28
toe and casserole dish.
82
508487
3353
08:31
It was absolutely gorgeous.
83
511840
2586
08:34
The only problem was there was a lot of garlic in the meal
84
514426
3921
08:38
and during the night I could not get to sleep.
85
518830
3153
08:42
I don't know about you, but if I eat too much garlic,
86
522367
3404
08:46
what happens is my stomach becomes quite bad.
87
526388
2736
08:49
Very.
88
529124
651
08:49
It's quite sensitive sometimes.
89
529775
2202
08:51
My little tummy.
90
531977
1818
08:53
So I was awake.
91
533795
1452
08:55
So I came down here into my studio.
92
535247
3003
08:58
I did it around about 2:00 this morning and I stayed here for 2 hours
93
538483
5105
09:03
during the night doing some things to my new YouTube channel.
94
543588
5372
09:09
So I am putting a lot of effort into my new channel,
95
549461
3537
09:14
which will be
96
554165
1652
09:15
available in a few days from now.
97
555817
4204
09:20
I suppose I can give you some clues about my new channel.
98
560455
4421
09:24
First of all, it is all about learning English,
99
564876
3420
09:29
of course, because that is what I do
100
569330
3137
09:32
and I've been doing it for many, many, many years on YouTube.
101
572650
4471
09:37
And my new channel will have lessons for those
102
577539
5071
09:42
who are learning English as a second language and maybe some people
103
582610
4705
09:47
who are starting their journey into the world of English.
104
587465
5105
09:52
Also, there will be the opportunity to have translations of each lesson
105
592970
5790
09:59
in your individual language as well.
106
599744
4171
10:04
So you can have my lesson, you can watch the lesson,
107
604265
3520
10:08
you can read the lovely big captions
108
608052
3053
10:11
on the screen because there will be captions
109
611105
3003
10:14
and underneath the video there will be translations
110
614175
4971
10:19
in your local language,
111
619430
3387
10:22
whatever your native language is.
112
622817
3003
10:26
So all of that coming up.
113
626020
1285
10:27
I am very excited about it,
114
627305
2535
10:29
so I am hoping there will be lots of new subscribers
115
629840
4438
10:34
joining my new YouTube channel, maybe lots of people
116
634278
5422
10:39
who want to follow a different type of English lesson.
117
639733
4138
10:44
So I think sometimes doing this it might be too fast.
118
644104
4505
10:49
Maybe sometimes my my speech is too quick.
119
649093
3203
10:53
So I thought, I will make lessons for those who are learning
120
653347
4288
10:57
English as a second language, but they have just started.
121
657668
3570
11:01
So that is what my new channel will be all about.
122
661789
3954
11:06
We will talk a little bit more
123
666260
1585
11:07
about that next weekend, next Sunday when we are back.
124
667845
3653
11:11
So that's what we will do.
125
671615
2736
11:14
Hello to the live chat.
126
674351
2186
11:16
Hello v tense.
127
676537
1201
11:17
You are first on today's live chat.
128
677738
2252
11:19
We also have sash sash
129
679990
3003
11:23
who came in to the live chat
130
683377
3003
11:26
at around about the same time as V tense.
131
686496
3037
11:29
So congratulations to basic both of you.
132
689533
3003
11:41
Yesterday
133
701028
617
11:41
we went to Ironbridge, a lovely place not very far away from where I live.
134
701645
5405
11:47
Can you believe that?
135
707050
1719
11:48
We went there yesterday and there is something I did not do
136
708769
4738
11:54
that I always do.
137
714341
2169
11:56
Where we go somewhere.
138
716510
1351
11:58
Can you guess what it was?
139
718879
2118
12:00
The thing that I didn't do yesterday that I normally do,
140
720997
4505
12:06
and that is
141
726586
2553
12:09
take pictures or take photographs
142
729139
2986
12:13
film using my mobile phone.
143
733059
3087
12:16
So I didn't take any photographs yesterday.
144
736513
3003
12:19
I didn't take any video clips.
145
739632
2603
12:22
I didn't do any recording yesterday.
146
742235
3003
12:25
So we had a lovely walk.
147
745488
2036
12:27
My back, by the way, is feeling okay.
148
747524
3186
12:30
It's not too bad.
149
750710
1168
12:31
The pain is slowly going away.
150
751878
3003
12:34
But I have to say I am looking forward to the time
151
754898
3486
12:38
when my back is not hurting because it is literally
152
758768
4505
12:44
a pain in the back.
153
764357
2302
12:46
I have to say it is very annoying, especially if you stand up for many,
154
766659
6090
12:52
many hours like I do when I'm preparing my live streams.
155
772749
3937
12:56
Today we are here talking about a very interesting subject.
156
776953
4237
13:01
Of course, we have you on the live chat.
157
781507
2503
13:04
We also have me here in the studio in much Wenlock
158
784010
4104
13:08
and hopefully we have an interesting subject
159
788631
5005
13:14
to talk about as well.
160
794053
3003
13:17
Hello also to Palmira.
161
797106
2503
13:19
Hello, Palmira.
162
799609
2118
13:21
Nice to see you here as well.
163
801727
2403
13:24
Mohsen, hello to you.
164
804130
2285
13:26
Thank you very much for joining me today.
165
806415
2670
13:29
A lot of people now have found me.
166
809085
2886
13:31
I think quite a few people still don't realise that
167
811971
4488
13:36
last Sunday the clocks went forward by one hour.
168
816459
4654
13:41
So maybe that is the reason why there are some people missing today.
169
821113
5606
13:47
Quite Labour is here. Hello to you.
170
827169
2620
13:49
Also we have Patrick.
171
829789
1851
13:51
Hello, Patrick.
172
831640
1051
13:52
Nice to see you here today. I hope you are.
173
832691
3354
13:57
k, who else is?
174
837646
3003
14:00
Claudia. Hello, Claudia.
175
840649
1936
14:02
Apparently we have a live weather forecast
176
842585
4721
14:07
and report from Argentina.
177
847456
3720
14:11
Apparently it's just coming through that it is
178
851176
3003
14:14
raining at the moment in Buenos Aires.
179
854179
2987
14:17
Thank you for letting me know.
180
857232
1018
14:18
There, Claudia.
181
858250
2019
14:20
Who else is here?
182
860269
1101
14:21
of course.
183
861370
3003
14:24
I can't forget you.
184
864823
1468
14:26
I will never forget you.
185
866291
2520
14:28

14:35

875651
4838
14:40
So many people now, now they are checking in.
190
880489
3503
14:44
They are saying, hello, Mr. Duncan,
191
884026
3003
14:47
you are on.
192
887412
1018

Thank goodness for that.
193

3120
15:05
We are talking about numbers today.
200
905197
3370
15:08
Numbers. We use them all the time.
201
908800
2586
15:11
When we are counting, when we are listing,
202
911386
3353
15:15
when we are signing in or logging
203
915106
3571
15:18
in, maybe to one of our online accounts or maybe your bank account,
204
918877
6006
15:25
or maybe you are buying something with your
205
925216
2870
15:29
debit card.
206
929688
1351
15:31
You see, I have one here.
207
931039
1468
15:32
I can't show you the number, but that is my
208
932507
3003
15:35
my little debit card
209
935677
3003
15:39
whenever I use it.
210
939497
1068
15:40
Quite often I have to put my PIN number.
211
940565
3520
15:44
My personal identity number
212
944435
3337
15:48
is what that stands for.
213
948256
3003
15:51
So your PIN number is a type of number.
214
951276
2952
15:54
There might also be an identity number.
215
954228
3354
15:57
So quite often many of us will carry some sort of information
216
957966
4204
16:02
about ourselves, be it a driving license perhaps,
217
962170
4538
16:06
or maybe your passport if you are travelling to another country.
218
966708
4337
16:11
Of course, in some countries they also have identity cards.
219
971345
5106
16:17
Here in England, we don't have identity cards,
220
977468
4438
16:24
not yet anyway.
221
984225
1952
16:26
Some people at the moment are talking about bringing in identity cards,
222
986177
5305
16:31
so there are a lot of people at the moment discussing
223
991716
2802
16:34
certain subjects and topics.
224
994518
2987
16:37
One of them, of course, being immigration,
225
997722
2969
16:40
a very controversial, a very big topic here in the UK.
226
1000691
5105
16:46
And once in a while this
227
1006997
3721
16:51
particular topic comes up again and again
228
1011185
3637
16:55
and that subject is identity cards.
229
1015122
4471
16:59
So you might have your own number
230
1019927
3003
17:03
that relates to your identity.
231
1023247
3253
17:06
So maybe one day I will have to carry an identity card around with me.
232
1026850
4889
17:12
Although technically I will be honest with you.
233
1032106
3003
17:15
We do have identity cards here,
234
1035192
3871
17:19
except they are called driving licences.
235
1039847
3537
17:23
So many people have a car, many people have a driving licence
236
1043650
4288
17:27
and it is very easy to find out who that person is in the car.
237
1047938
4872
17:33
Or maybe you can ask someone to show their driving licence.
238
1053126
4805
17:38
So you might say that even though we don't officially
239
1058348
3687
17:42
have identity cards here in England,
240
1062436
3687
17:47
we kind of do
241
1067557
1902
17:49
because we have driving licences, we have passports,
242
1069459
4939
17:54
we normally have some form of identification.
243
1074815
5522
18:00
So there is always something, a birth certificate.
244
1080854
3203
18:05
Everyone has one of those
245
1085225
1652
18:06
because we were all at some point
246
1086877
3003
18:10
born,
247
1090730
2419
18:13
Even though I'm still not too sure about myself,
248
1093149
2553
18:15
I still think sometimes I was made in a laboratory.
249
1095702
4288
18:19
I think so.
250
1099990
1501
18:21
Beatrice Hello, Beatrice.
251
1101491
2019
18:23
Nice to see you here, Beatrice.
252
1103510
1918
18:25
It is good to see you.
253
1105428
1202
18:26
Where are you today?
254
1106630
1401
18:28
Are you at home?
255
1108031
2619
18:30
Are you on the low ground or are you up in the mountains?
256
1110650
6990
18:38
Where are you today?
257
1118675
1034
18:39
I wonder who else is here today. Florence.
258
1119709
3570
18:43
Thank you, Florence, for joining me.
259
1123313
2802
18:46
It's very nice to see you here today.
260
1126115
3637
18:49
Sometimes you have to have proof of your identity
261
1129986
4955
18:54
if you want to buy a certain thing.
262
1134941
3003
18:57
So now you can't buy guns here in the UK.
263
1137977
4221
19:02
So here you can't just go into a shop and buy a gun
264
1142532
4087
19:07
because they are basically illegal.
265
1147153
2819
19:09
However, in other countries you can.
266
1149972
1952
19:11
So I suppose a good example would be the United States
267
1151924
3304
19:15
where you can go into a shop and show your identity,
268
1155545
4571
19:20
maybe prove that that you are the person you say you are,
269
1160450
4554
19:25
and then you can buy maybe a shotgun or a rifle
270
1165371
4104
19:29
and some ammunition, and then you can go home
271
1169809
2969
19:35
and think
272
1175948
484
19:36
of all the wonderful things you can do with it.
273
1176432
3003
19:39
However, here in England, we don't.
274
1179518
1652
19:41
We can't.
275
1181170
517
19:41
You see, guns are illegal.
276
1181687
2820
19:44
You can't buy them.
277
1184507
1968
19:46
However, there are special licenses here in the UK
278
1186475
4305
19:51
that people can buy
279
1191097
3003
19:54
with a gun.
280
1194884
2402
19:57
So there is a licence, you will buy the licence.
281
1197286
2786
20:00
It will allow you to own normally just one shotgun
282
1200072
4088
20:04
and quite often that particular licence is given to farmers,
283
1204276
4922
20:09
people who have livestock, people
284
1209798
2820
20:12
who have to protect their property in some way.
285
1212618
3353
20:16
So you can buy guns I suppose.
286
1216455
3237
20:19
And quite often you have to prove some identity, you have to show who you are.
287
1219692
5822
20:25
Quite often there will be a photograph or maybe something showing where you live,
288
1225881
5989
20:31
how old you are, and quite often there will be
289
1231870
4321
20:36
an identity number as well.
290
1236825
2720
20:41
Guns are not
291
1241597
2152
20:43
easily available here in the UK.
292
1243749
3570
20:47
That's probably the reason why you rarely hear
293
1247352
3053
20:51
of any of any serious shootings.
294
1251106
3570
20:55
Fortunately, we don't have them very often.
295
1255243
2753
20:57
They don't happen very often, unlike
296
1257996
3003
21:01
other places where they do happen very often.
297
1261717
4604
21:07
Can I say a big hello to my viewers in Taiwan?
298
1267205
3871
21:11
And at the moment during the night, two
299
1271076
3336
21:14
serious earthquakes occurred.
300
1274896
2670
21:17
And I don't know if you've seen the images on the Internet, but
301
1277566
4371
21:21
some of the images are quite harrowing, I have to say.
302
1281937
3703
21:25
Although there is one that did make me smile.
303
1285874
3653
21:29
I don't know if you saw it, but there was a television presenter, a young lady,
304
1289527
4138
21:34
and she was presenting live on TV in Taiwan.
305
1294032
5105
21:39
And then suddenly the studio started shaking and moving around.
306
1299738
4888
21:45
But the young lady just carried on.
307
1305710
1935
21:47
She carried on presenting.
308
1307645
2236
21:49
She didn't seem very upset by the fact that all of the lights in the studio
309
1309881
5939
21:55
were swinging around and everything was going from side to side.
310
1315820
4021
21:59
So can I say, Wow, whoever that lady is,
311
1319841
3687
22:04
she will never have to worry about finding another job anywhere.
312
1324362
5038
22:09
If she wanted to move to another TV station.
313
1329517
3303
22:13
All she has to do is show that video clip of her during an earthquake
314
1333304
5072
22:19
carrying on, presenting, staying calm.
315
1339427
2786
22:22
How amazing is that?
316
1342213
1351
22:23
I'm not sure what I would do.
317
1343564
2136
22:25
I think I would run away.
318
1345700
2152
22:27
I think I would hide somewhere and I think I would scream like a girl.
319
1347852
5255
22:33
I think so.
320
1353107
1435
22:34
But I hope if you are watching in
321
1354542
2736
22:37
Taiwan at the moment, I hope everything is okay where you are.
322
1357278
3120
22:40
Fortunately, there was no su nami, even though a lot of people
323
1360748
4655
22:45
on the internet said there was or there was going to be, but there wasn't.
324
1365403
3653
22:49
So fortunately, the latest news that I saw
325
1369056
3420
22:52
there was no serious aftershock, which surprised me
326
1372476
4722
22:58
but very dramatic pictures indeed.
327
1378482
3003
23:01
So I hope you are okay if you are watching in that particular
328
1381535
3671
23:05
part of the world.
329
1385206
3003
23:08
Hello. Also, who else is here today?
330
1388375
2203
23:10
I don't want to miss anyone out.
331
1390578
2068
23:12
Hello, Andrei.
332
1392646
1852
23:14
Andrei.
333
1394498
1051
23:15
6819.
334
1395549
2786
23:18
What is fact? Is it anything in particular?
335
1398335
3003
23:21
It is a very interesting number that I am drawn towards.
336
1401405
4054
23:25
And the reason for that is because today I am talking about numbers,
337
1405759
5272
23:31
idioms, phrases connected to numbers.
338
1411448
4388
23:35
And it is amazing how often we use numbers in our day to day life.
339
1415836
5639
23:41
Even computers
340
1421508
2703
23:44
rely on numbers,
341
1424211
2819
23:47
although they are of course a different type of number.
342
1427030
2937
23:49
They are ones and zeros
343
1429967
3687
23:54
and we often refer to that as binary
344
1434905
3153
23:58
binary numbers or binary system.
345
1438175
3103
24:01
So all of the calculations, all of the things
346
1441695
2636
24:04
that happen involve zero and
347
1444331
3537
24:09
one and that's it.
348
1449036
2402
24:11
It's just lots of them all
349
1451438
2669
24:14
moving around at the same time.
350
1454107
3003
24:17
Hello to the live chat.
351
1457828
2969
24:20
It's nice to see you today.
352
1460797
3003
24:24
Welcome to the live chat.
353
1464017
3003
24:27
I hope you are going to stay.
354
1467287
3570
24:32
So we didn't take any photographs yesterday in Ironbridge.
355
1472208
3621
24:35
However, I did buy
356
1475829
3003
24:39
a little souvenir of our trip.
357
1479549
2853
24:42
Can you see it?
358
1482402
1568
24:43
It is just over there behind me.
359
1483970
3837
24:47
Can you see? There it is.
360
1487841
1968
24:49
So I bought that yesterday
361
1489809
3003
24:53
whilst out and about it is a little woodpecker.
362
1493263
4287
24:57
In fact it is a great spotted woodpecker
363
1497550
3003
25:00
and it is something I saw in a shop and I could not resist buying it.
364
1500920
5089
25:06
And I thought that would make
365
1506409
2603
25:09
a wonderful new character for my studio.
366
1509012
3486
25:12
So there it is, a new a new addition to my studio, a little
367
1512915
5306
25:19
great spotted woodpecker
368
1519238
3003
25:22
I might show you.
369
1522692
1952
25:24
I might show you all of the detail on Sunday.
370
1524644
2669
25:27
We don't have time for today.
371
1527313
2436
25:29
Unfortunately, it is a problem
372
1529749
2986
25:32
sometimes when there isn't enough time to do everything.
373
1532735
3787
25:36
Please give me a light.
374
1536789
1952
25:38
If you like this, please give me a like.
375
1538741
2586
25:41
Would you like to see a photograph of myself and Mr.
376
1541327
2853
25:44
Steve?
377
1544180
2986
25:47
Here it is.
378
1547500
817
25:48
So there is Mr. and myself.
379
1548317
1952
25:50
You might not be able to see it very well, but we are actually having a curry.
380
1550269
4922
25:56
And this was taken a few weeks ago.
381
1556058
2703
25:58
And you can see that I am having a lot of fun there, biting
382
1558761
4554
26:03
into a very large Poppadoms
383
1563616
4104
26:09
you often have poppadoms with a curry.
384
1569438
3987
26:13
Mr. Steve doesn't look too sure.
385
1573843
2135
26:15
He doesn't look very happy, does he?
386
1575978
1735
26:17
Looks very unsure.
387
1577713
1885
26:19
So there it is, a photograph taken a few weeks ago.
388
1579598
3003
26:22
That was the night we went out
389
1582601
2770
26:25
and we got stuck in town because we could not get a taxi back home.
390
1585371
4638
26:30
And that's the same night that it happened.
391
1590259
2986
26:33
But it was still a very nice meal.
392
1593395
2670
26:37
Yesterday we went out. Mr.
393
1597032
1735
26:38
Steve is off, by the way.
394
1598767
1802
26:40
He is taking a break from his job,
395
1600569
3003
26:43
but at the moment
396
1603806
3003
26:47
I get the feeling he didn't want to come on today's live stream.
397
1607142
3987
26:51
So instead he's gone for a big walk at the top of the hill.
398
1611547
4604
26:58
Hello.
399
1618120
450
26:58
Also to who else is quite cool to tie, but hello to you
400
1618570
6507
27:05
and it's very nice to see you here today.
401
1625444
4054
27:09
Yes, it is true.
402
1629798
1051
27:10
I do like birds very much, even right now in the garden.
403
1630849
3770
27:14
If you look in the garden at the moment, you
404
1634619
3154
27:19
simply
405
1639341
2986
27:23
move in the room
406
1643945
1902
27:25
and then
407
1645847
3003
27:31
as I was saying, if you look in the garden at the moment,
408
1651870
3070
27:35
you will see there are many birds feeding because the weather is not very good.
409
1655440
5522
27:40
The weather is a little bit unsettled, let's just say, and things
410
1660962
5289
27:46
are not very nice actually outside, even though it's very warm.
411
1666318
4721
27:51
But you can see there are lots of birds feeding on the bird feeders.
412
1671306
3487
27:54
We have lots of goldfinches.
413
1674793
2452
27:57
So those birds you can see on the left are actually
414
1677245
3036
28:01
old finches.
415
1681099
2486
28:05
They like to come into the garden
416
1685286
3003
28:08
and have some food
417
1688323
2519
28:10
and that's what they are doing.
418
1690842
3003
28:15
So that is the scene outside
419
1695346
1919
28:17
proving that I do like birds very much.
420
1697265
5155
28:22
Hello, Mohsin.
421
1702971
1668
28:24
Hi to Mohsin.
422
1704639
2402
28:27
It's so good to see you here today.
423
1707041
3003
28:31
Quick timer says I could hear the sound
424
1711929
3003
28:35
where I lived of the earthquake that took place this morning.
425
1715083
4954
28:40
So I was actually up I was up during the night
426
1720338
4137
28:45
working on my new YouTube channel
427
1725193
2285
28:47
and I suddenly got an alert on my phone and on my computer telling me
428
1727478
4938
28:52
that this earthquake had just occurred.
429
1732700
3237
28:57
But I didn't feel anything.
430
1737104
1435
28:58
I think I am a little bit too far away from Taiwan
431
1738539
3086
29:01
to feel the earth move like that, so I didn't feel anything.
432
1741625
5072
29:07
English addict is here today.
433
1747098
1952
29:09
I hope you are okay.
434
1749050
1401
29:10
We are going to talk about a subject, an interesting subject.
435
1750451
5522
29:15
I hope you will find it interesting.
436
1755973
2102
29:18
Anyway, we are looking at numbers in a few moments, words
437
1758075
4054
29:22
and phrases in the English language connected to
438
1762129
4138
29:27
counting numbers,
439
1767318
3003
29:30
numerals, figures
440
1770321
2986
29:34
and all that jazz.
441
1774208
1918
31:23
I had a complaint the other day saying, Mr.
442
1883866
2303
31:26
Duncan, we haven't seen your.
443
1886169
2135
31:28
I'm a big boy now video for a while.
444
1888304
3303
31:31
Okay.
445
1891641
534
31:32
This is just for you.
446
1892175
1284
32:00
I'm a big boy now.
447
1920002
1635
32:48
Welcome to the nice part of the internet.
448
1968801
2452
32:51
Quite often we are lovely, nice, kind and ever
449
1971253
4505
32:55
so sweet to each other.
450
1975758
3002
32:59
Me And here we are.
451
1979294
2002
33:01
My name is Mr. Duncan.
452
1981296
1835
33:03
I am in England and I am here to help you with your English.
453
1983131
5072
33:08
I hope you are having a good day to day.
454
1988203
5606
33:14
I really do.
455
1994076
1184
33:15
The birds do sing.
456
1995260
1735
33:16
The other morning I got up very early
457
1996995
2853
33:19
because I needed a wee wee and I went into the bathroom.
458
1999848
3387
33:23
I opened the window and I could hear all the birds
459
2003235
3687
33:26
singing with that dawn chorus.
460
2006922
3637
33:30
So you can really feel that spring is here
461
2010876
3820
33:34
and summer is not very far away at all.
462
2014996
4655
33:39
Excuse me, I. Can I just have a drink? I need a drink.
463
2019651
2970
33:49
What's this?
464
2029894
785
33:50
This here, this.
465
2030679
3003
33:53
You want to know what this is? Well, guess what?

2369
34:21
This is merchandise. Look at me.
473
2061376
3003
34:24
I'm becoming very modern and sophisticated at the moment.
474
2064946
4588
34:29

475
2069534

3003
34:36
and your English addict mug, then guess what?

3987
34:40

1268
34:42
You can have your own to wear wherever you go.
479
2082013
4171
34:46
You can visit your relations, you can take your mug and wear your t shirt
480
2086184
5121
34:51
and you can knock on your neighbour's door and say, Hello,
481
2091305
3304
34:55
I've come round for a cup of tea.
482
2095543
2519
34:58
Would you like to hear about how I learn English?
483
2098062
3570
35:01
Well, this is how I do it.
484
2101866
1718
35:03
I do it like this using this guy.
485
2103584
2936
35:06
So if you would like to buy a lovely mug, then guess what
486
2106520
3003
35:09
you have the chance to do it.
487
2109790
2436
35:12
Lots of merchandise will be available on my YouTube
488
2112226
4021
35:16
channel very soon as we introduce the new channel.
489
2116247
3870
35:20
But also, I suppose I should tell you
490
2120451
2986
35:23
what is happening with this channel.
491
2123621
3003
35:26
What does it mean, Mr. Duncan?
492
2126690
1852
35:28
Does it mean that you are going to stop doing this
493
2128542
4021
35:33
on your English addict channel?
494
2133013
2736
35:35
Does it mean the end of your English addict YouTube channel?
495
2135749
5656
35:41
Well, I can tell you now the answer is
496
2141438
2286
35:46
no. This will carry on
497
2146327
2769
35:49
English addict as a channel will carry on.
498
2149096
3687
35:53
There will be live streams, continue viewing on this channel.
499
2153017
4304
35:57
However, you might find that there will be fewer and fewer
500
2157738
4705
36:03
lessons recorded lessons on here.
501
2163160
3003
36:06
So most of my recorded lessons will be on my new channel,
502
2166497
3720
36:10
but my live streams will continue on here on English Addict.
503
2170634
5372
36:16
So if you are wondering about that,
504
2176306
3003
36:19
then that is
505
2179309
2987
36:23
what is happening.
506
2183146
1585
36:24
Lots of information to give you.
507
2184731
2036
36:26
I will be talking about this on Sunday because there are a lot of things
508
2186767
3853
36:30
happening in April, including my new YouTube channel.
509
2190620
6891
36:37
I might even reveal the name of the new channel on Sunday.
510
2197844
4855
36:42
I might reveal the new name,
511
2202949
2987
36:46
and it's taken me a very long time to find a new name.
512
2206520
4621
36:51
It must be one of the hardest things to do when you create a new YouTube channel.
513
2211141
4855
36:56
I think it's very hard to come up with a very good title
514
2216479
3120
37:00
because most of them have gotten
515
2220350
2986
37:03
most of the really good titles for your
516
2223336
3821
37:08
YouTube channel have actually gone.
517
2228108
2018
37:10
So we will see what happens.
518
2230126
1352
37:11
So there are mugs available soon.
519
2231478
3003
37:14
You can have your own English addict mug.
520
2234531
3069
37:17
They are also available in black
521
2237951
2769
37:20
and dark blue as well.
522
2240720
2986
37:23
So if you don't like the colour red then you can have another colour instead.
523
2243706
3521
37:27
But all that is happening.
524
2247227
2552
37:29
I can't tell you how excited I am at the moment
525
2249779
2986
37:33
to today.
526
2253733
3387
37:37
We are looking at numbers, words and phrases
527
2257120
3186
37:40
connected to numbers and we do use numbers quite often in English.
528
2260306
5038
37:45
You may have noticed when we are counting, when we are recording the amount
529
2265344
5673
37:51
of something, the number quite often
530
2271250
2970
37:54
when we are talking about quantity,
531
2274220
3003
37:57
we will often use numbers.
532
2277857
3303
38:01
So numbers are used very often.
533
2281360
2937
38:04
So let's take a look, shall we?
534
2284297
1768
38:06
Let's dive into today's
535
2286065
3871
38:10
subject and see what happens.
536
2290152
3003
38:13
there we go. Very nice.
537
2293205
1836
38:16
That may be jump that did.
538
2296325
1352
38:17
Where did that come from?
539
2297677
1985
38:19
How did I get that?
540
2299662
2185
38:21
Through the door.
541
2301847
1385
38:23
It looks too big to go through the door.
542
2303232
2369
38:25
Anyway, we are looking at numbers, words and phrases connected to numbers.
543
2305601
4955
38:30
I wonder what your favourite number is.
544
2310906
2503
38:33
A lot of people have a favourite.
545
2313409
1418
38:34
Some people feel as if they have a lucky number.
546
2314827
3286
38:38
What about you? Do you have a lucky number?
547
2318831
2586
38:41
I used to believe that my lucky number was four,
548
2321417
3053
38:46
but not anymore.
549
2326338
2119
38:48
I don't think I have one anymore.
550
2328457
3003
38:51
Here we go then.
551
2331860
751
38:52
When we talk about numbers, we are describing or naming
552
2332611
3887
38:56
or looking at a character representing
553
2336498
3037
38:59
a quantity or an amount.
554
2339568
3237
39:03
So you can see here I have some lovely numbers here that I've put on the screen.
555
2343155
4955
39:09
You might be thinking, Mr.
556
2349378
1201
39:10
Duncan, what do these numbers mean?
557
2350579
2219
39:12
Do they represent anything?
558
2352798
3003
39:16
They don't know that I represent anything.
559
2356818
2987
39:20
So we have one, two, three, four, five,
560
2360055
3837
39:24
six, 27,
561
2364042
3003
39:27
42, 68
562
2367946
3303
39:33
136 Wow.
563
2373285
4221
39:37
And 2024
564
2377839
3003
39:41
or 2024.
565
2381026
2936
39:43
Well, I suppose the final figure there is one that we can all relate to,
566
2383962
4438
39:48
because that is this year I feel as if I am reading the lottery numbers out.
567
2388400
5906
39:54
I would be a very good voice.
568
2394339
2185
39:56
If anyone needs a voice
569
2396524
3003
40:00
to to to read out the lottery numbers in their country,
570
2400428
4021
40:04
then I think I could do a very good job of it.
571
2404716
3003
40:07
Number one.
572
2407936
1685
40:09
Number two,
573
2409621
2035
40:11
Number three.
574
2411656
2553
40:14
Number four,
575
2414209
2485
40:16
27, 42,
576
2416694
4138
40:21
68, 136.
577
2421516
4571
40:27
Yeah, I think I could do that very easily.
578
2427489
2619
40:30
So when we look at numbers, we are looking at numbers that are
579
2430108
3587
40:34
specific or relating to
580
2434896
3003
40:38
quantity, maybe something you are
581
2438082
3003
40:42
counting.
582
2442103
1385
40:43
Maybe I will be counting the number of mugs that I
583
2443488
5789
40:50
have sold on my YouTube channel.
584
2450945
2286
40:53
Maybe, perhaps.
585
2453231
1168
40:54
Who knows?
586
2454399
3002
40:57
So there are many ways of using numbers
587
2457785
2202
40:59
and they do exist in many areas of our life.
588
2459987
4555
41:04
I think it's safe to say
589
2464959
2553
41:07
numbers can be described
590
2467512
2035
41:09
as a numeral numeral,
591
2469547
3704
41:13
so each individual number can be a numeral
592
2473417
4872
41:18
or of course, numbers together can also be a numeral.
593
2478789
4655
41:23
But normally we we will describe one single number
594
2483444
4671
41:28
as a numeral.
595
2488632
2636
41:31
We can also say figure as well.
596
2491268
2853
41:34
So a number can be a figure, an amount.
597
2494121
4238
41:38
The amount of something, the number, the figure,
598
2498976
3854
41:43
the numeral each numeral
599
2503214
3570
41:47
in the amount will make up that particular figure.
600
2507351
4504
41:53
A considerable
601
2513240
1735
41:54
amount is very large.
602
2514975
3871
41:58
So maybe a person who is wealthy,
603
2518846
2185
42:01
maybe they are one of those very successful YouTubers.
604
2521031
4471
42:06
Not like me, I'm afraid.
605
2526070
1768
42:07
I am not one of those.
606
2527838
1535
42:09
I am the opposite of that.
607
2529373
2786
42:12
So unfortunately I don't have any branded
608
2532159
3303
42:15
soft drinks available in the supermarket with my face on it, unfortunately.
609
2535762
5339
42:21
But I do have mugs and they will be coming very soon.
610
2541435
3303
42:26
Okay, I'm going to stop mentioning that now because I've done it too often.
611
2546590
3337
42:29
I think so.
612
2549927
1251
42:31
Something considerable is big is very big.
613
2551178
3253
42:34
It is huge.
614
2554514
2002
42:36
Maybe a person who has a very good job,
615
2556516
3521
42:40
they earn a considerable figure,
616
2560037
3753
42:44
a large amount,
617
2564891
2636
42:47
or maybe they work on YouTube like me
618
2567527
3003
42:51
and they earn a small amount.
619
2571098
3553
42:55
They earn very little,
620
2575118
2619
42:57
so they have to instead sell mugs
621
2577737
3771
43:02
or of course they might be a very terrible YouTuber.
622
2582893
3002
43:06
They might be someone who has no viewers ever,
623
2586196
3003
43:09
and they might have an insignificant amount.
624
2589249
4121
43:14
So when we describe something as insignificant, it is very, very small,
625
2594020
5739
43:20
very tiny.
626
2600143
1852
43:21
It is almost invisible.
627
2601995
2886
43:24
It is so small.
628
2604881
1618
43:26
So some people don't earn a lot of money doing YouTube.
629
2606499
4321
43:31
Some people earn a lot of money and some people don't.
630
2611271
3753
43:36
Yeah, it's true.
631
2616192
2486
43:38
We might talk about the number of something
632
2618678
3003
43:41
a considerable amount, as I just said,
633
2621798
3003
43:45
a large amount or small amount
634
2625101
4321
43:50
or an insignificant amount.
635
2630106
3003
43:53
If it is very, very small, we might ask
636
2633326
3086
43:56
how many there are of something,
637
2636412
3354
44:00
how many people are coming to the party?
638
2640099
3003
44:03
How many hats does Mr.
639
2643186
3553
44:06
Duncan own?
640
2646739
1852
44:08
How many mugs do you want to buy for Mr.
641
2648591
4354
44:12
Duncan? Something like that.
642
2652945
2286
44:15
Or maybe how much? How much?
643
2655231
2969
44:18
If you are asking about the quantity, maybe you want to know
644
2658200
4789
44:23
how much, how much money
645
2663356
2636
44:28
does the top YouTuber
646
2668177
3070
44:32
on this site, how much do they earn?
647
2672181
3620
44:36
How much do you love me?
648
2676218
3003
44:39
that's a good question.
649
2679488
1385
44:40
How much do you love me?
650
2680873
2819
44:43
Do you love me a lot or do you not love me at all?
651
2683692
4538
44:48
Maybe.
652
2688430
1118
44:49
But quite often when we say how much we often refer
653
2689548
3871
44:53
to quantity and quite often
654
2693686
3086
44:56
that will be referred to using a number,
655
2696839
3420
45:00
some sort of number, what is the total?
656
2700526
3837
45:05
So maybe if you are buying lots of things
657
2705080
2786
45:07
in the supermarket, quite often there will be a total.
658
2707866
3304
45:11
The final number is the total.
659
2711653
3988
45:16
After you add everything else up.
660
2716091
3003
45:19
In business, we often talk about the bottom line.
661
2719311
3537
45:23
So when we talk about the bottom line in business,
662
2723649
3303
45:26
we are talking about the final figure,
663
2726952
3453
45:30
the final number at the bottom.
664
2730889
2820
45:36
Continuing
665
2736578
2202
45:38
the number of something can also be a code.
666
2738780
2987
45:42
So we can talk about amount of something,
667
2742134
4020
45:46
how much there is of something,
668
2746538
2619
45:49
or we can talk about a certain number, a certain number
669
2749157
5372
45:54
that might appear in a particular place,
670
2754529
3203
45:58
maybe a type of code.
671
2758300
2819
46:01
Perhaps you have to enter a code,
672
2761119
3003
46:04
maybe you work at an office where the door is always locked.
673
2764339
4254
46:08
So you have to beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
674
2768977
3553
46:13
Enter the code so you can get in.
675
2773548
3353
46:17
You can use a set of numbers as a key,
676
2777502
4955
46:23
a type of key to get in to a certain place,
677
2783041
3787
46:26
or maybe on your computer or perhaps on your smart phone.
678
2786828
4838
46:31
You have a code that you have to enter.
679
2791783
3637
46:36
A phone number is also a type of number.
680
2796554
4104
46:40
We are using that particular phone number so you can contact me.
681
2800875
4855
46:48
Can you imagine that?
682
2808216
1451
46:49
Can you imagine what would happen if I gave everyone
683
2809667
3387
46:53
my phone number?
684
2813988
2987
46:59
I think my phone would be ringing all the time.
685
2819377
3337
47:02
I rarely do.
686
2822714
1351
47:04
So there might be a press number where we talk about press number.
687
2824065
4971
47:09
We mean a password using numbers.
688
2829036
4355
47:14
Or maybe if you have locked all of your money
689
2834775
3054
47:17
and all of your lovely expensive jewellery in a safe,
690
2837862
3787
47:22
a place that is safe to keep something in,
691
2842200
4237
47:26
you might have to enter some numbers
692
2846837
3170
47:37
to get in.
693
2857181
1618
47:38
So there might be a combination which is a great word
694
2858799
4738
47:43
when you think about it.
695
2863537
1318
47:44
Combination just means things that are together.
696
2864855
3153
47:48
In this particular situation, we are talking about a set of numbers
697
2868409
4221
47:53
that are used to get in to something
698
2873080
3821
47:57
either a safe or a locked door, perhaps.
699
2877585
4854
48:02
Also, you could have a serial number.
700
2882439
2887
48:05
We will talk about that in a moment as we journey on.
701
2885326
4921
48:11
A number can also relate to
702
2891982
3003
48:15
one thing, a particular thing, an identity number.
703
2895185
4755
48:20
Now we talked about this earlier on.
704
2900257
1802
48:22
Everyone has some sort of identity number.
705
2902059
3520
48:25
Even if you work for a company, maybe you will be given a number
706
2905896
4688
48:31
So the number that you have that goes with your name
707
2911068
3770
48:35
and also your employment in a certain company,
708
2915172
4237
48:40
maybe you have an identity number in your country,
709
2920010
3537
48:44
so maybe you have to carry around a card
710
2924031
3720
48:48
to show who you are.
711
2928402
3003
48:51
It is used as proof
712
2931438
3003
48:54
that you are the person you say you are.
713
2934758
2703
48:57
The house number often uses a number, but of course,
714
2937461
3903
49:01
if you live in a very posh area,
715
2941782
3002
49:06
people don't use numbers, they use names.
716
2946253
3837
49:10
So instead of their house having a number,
717
2950507
3120
49:14
it will sometimes have a lovely name like,
718
2954361
3954
49:18
I don't know, Rose Villa,
719
2958848
2586
49:23
Swallow Fields,
720
2963653
3003
49:29
Meadowbrook.
721
2969209
2986
49:34
So if you live in a posh
722
2974931
1018
49:35
part of the UK, in England, especially,
723
2975949
3003
49:38
quite often the houses will have a name instead of a number,
724
2978952
3954
49:43
which is very confusing for the postman, because if you live in an area
725
2983423
4538
49:47
where all of the houses have no numbers, they only have names
726
2987961
3837
49:52
and your postman is new
727
2992815
2336
49:55
or post lady of course.
728
2995151
2636
49:57
Yeah, because you have to be careful nowadays.
729
2997787
2219
50:00
I don't want to get arrested for hate speech.
730
3000006
3253
50:04
A location on a map can also be shown
731
3004093
3270
50:07
using numbers as well.
732
3007363
3003
50:10
Perhaps an account number, maybe your bank account,
733
3010817
4020
50:14
maybe your insurance account, even your YouTube channel.
734
3014887
5823
50:20
So my YouTube channel has a set of numbers
735
3020810
4221
50:25
so they have nothing to do with the name of the channel.
736
3025598
3003
50:28
It is a special number that YouTube will use
737
3028718
4321
50:33
to identify this channel that I own.
738
3033222
4254
50:39
Maybe also the
739
3039245
1001
50:40
serial number of a certain item.
740
3040246
3003
50:43
So maybe if you own something normally
741
3043482
3871
50:47
something expensive or something that
742
3047353
3003
50:51
the manufacturer or the maker does not want you to copy,
743
3051757
3721
50:56
that will often be a serial number and identity number.
744
3056145
4254
51:01
That is unique to that one item.
745
3061033
3487
51:05
Quite often we will give it a serial number.
746
3065471
3303
51:10
You might count the quantity of something using numbers.
747
3070059
3336
51:13
Of course we all do it.
748
3073395
2102
51:15
How many people are coming to the party?
749
3075497
2069
51:17
How many children are here today?
750
3077566
3654
51:21
Maybe in the classroom.
751
3081253
2069
51:23
Sometimes the teacher will count
752
3083322
2969
51:26
the pupils in the classroom
753
3086291
2369
51:28
to see how many there are attending.
754
3088660
3003
51:32
Maybe me.
755
3092047
1802
51:33
Maybe I am going to count and see how many people are here.
756
3093849
3837
51:37
How many people are here today.
757
3097970
1368
51:39
Let me just stay still. Don't move.
758
3099338
2652
51:41
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. I'm so.
759
3101990
2419
51:47
nice.
760
3107496
600
51:48
Thank you. Thank you for attending my class.
761
3108096
3003
51:51
It was very kind of you.
762
3111516
2436
51:53
So there are many ways
763
3113952
2486
51:56
of recording the amount of something using numbers you count.
764
3116438
4204
52:01
You tally.
765
3121209
2486
52:03
Tally just means to make a record of the quantity
766
3123695
3854
52:07
and quite often later you will look at what the amount is.
767
3127866
4604
52:12
And I will show you how that works in a few moments.
768
3132470
3354
52:16
You might also record the quantity of something.
769
3136491
4304
52:21
So I suppose at this time of year, many farmers in this area
770
3141129
4588
52:26
have lots of new lambs that are being born
771
3146084
3120
52:29
and they have to make sure that they know how many lambs there are.
772
3149621
5639
52:35
So they will have to count them.
773
3155677
2252
52:37
They count the lambs and of course they count the sheep,
774
3157929
4688
52:43
which is not
775
3163751
484
52:44
easy because quite often people will fall asleep.
776
3164235
3003
52:48
So when you tally something,
777
3168256
3003
52:51
it is an old way of counting
778
3171309
3003
52:54
and quite often it is used still as a way of counting things.
779
3174379
5822
53:00
It is a very easy way, a very quick way of counting things,
780
3180201
3537
53:04
and then afterwards you can work out how many of those things there are.
781
3184122
4955
53:09
So you can see there on the screen
782
3189377
2936
53:12
a tally can be marked using lines.
783
3192313
4438
53:17
Lines are drawn with one line
784
3197018
3003
53:20
drawn through to signify five.
785
3200321
3637
53:24
So you can see there on that piece of paper,
786
3204258
3187
53:27
someone is tallying.
787
3207461
3003
53:30
And I will show you quickly here if I can find my piece of paper.
788
3210848
3670
53:34
Where where has it gone?
789
3214518
1435
53:35
Where is my piece of paper?
790
3215953
2286
53:38
I had a piece of paper a few minutes ago and now it's disappeared.
791
3218239
3420
53:42
Now I'm going to get angry.
792
3222827
1952
53:44
So maybe if I am counting something, perhaps I will tally.
793
3224779
4738
53:49
So I will count.
794
3229817
3003
53:53
I will count.
795
3233687
1669
53:55
And every time I get
796
3235356
2319
53:57
to four,
797
3237675
2002
53:59
I will draw a line through it.
798
3239677
4321
54:04
So every time I reach five, that is what I will do.
799
3244899
3970
54:09
And then afterwards I can add up all of those tallies
800
3249336
4622
54:15
and come to
801
3255459
3003
54:19
a total or result.
802
3259747
2619
54:22
So there are many ways of doing that.
803
3262366
1885
54:24
I hope I show that clearly.
804
3264251
2519
54:26
I will show it again just to make sure.
805
3266770
2820
54:29
So that is what it looks like when you tally something.
806
3269590
4171
54:34
If you are counting something,
807
3274027
3003
54:37
maybe lots of things that are the same, you will often use
808
3277281
3803
54:41
tally
809
3281652
2969
54:44
what is.
810
3284621
1569
54:46
Yes, the tally can also be a verb as well.
811
3286190
3770
54:49
So tally is also to work out
812
3289960
3003
54:53
the result or the answer you tally.
813
3293497
3820
54:57
You add up the amount,
814
3297734
2586
55:00
the number of things you are looking at.
815
3300320
2986
55:03

55:05

854

Here's another one as
855
3449301
951
57:30
we come towards the end of today's live stream,
856
3450252
3003
57:33
your number is up
857
3453288
2987
57:37
to be called in
858
3457276
1401
57:38
or to reach the end of something.

57:41
So in a few moments my number will be up
860
3461947
3003
57:45
because it will be time to go.
861
3465367
2653
57:48
Also, if a person is about to die,
862
3468020
2986
57:51
or maybe if they do die, you can say that their number was up.
863
3471290
4321
57:56
He's gone.
864
3476645
1184
57:57
She's gone.
865
3477829
1202
57:59
She's no more.
866
3479031
1368
58:00
Her number was up
867
3480399
3003
58:03
to be caught.
868
3483735
1585
58:05
Maybe the police catch you.
869
3485320
1735
58:07
Maybe you are trying to run away from the law and they catch you.
870
3487055
3787
58:10
You can say that your number is up.
871
3490842
1869
58:12
They've got you. You.
872
3492711
1685
58:14
You must now face your punishment
873
3494396
3003
58:17
to be chosen for a certain job or a task.
874
3497415
4321
58:21
You can say that your number is up.
875
3501736
2336
58:24
It is your turn.
876
3504072
2069
58:26
Your number is up.
877
3506141
2102
58:29
So quite often we can use
878
3509227
2052
58:31
this particular phrase in many ways,
879
3511279
3087
58:35
but quite often we use it when we talk about coming to the end of something.
880
3515116
4171
58:39
Your number is up
881
3519437
3003
58:43
to be at sixes and sevens.
882
3523575
5005
58:48
If you are often at sixes and sevens,
883
3528980
3237
58:52
it means you are in a chaotic or confused state.
884
3532217
5305
58:57
Maybe you are rushing around in the morning
885
3537605
2586
59:00
and you have lots of things to do.
886
3540191
1869
59:02
You are all sixes and sevens.
887
3542060
4221
59:07
I'm all six seasons sevens today.
888
3547098
3003
59:10
I'm all
889
3550518
2035
59:12
in a state of chaos or confusion.
890
3552553
2820
59:15
I have lots of things to do.
891
3555373
1919
59:17
Everything is happening. Me.
892
3557292
2102
59:19
I am at six in sevens.
893
3559394
3003
59:23
It's a very interesting phrase.
894
3563448
3003
59:26
Another one for you.
895
3566718
1551
59:28
This is something that we might use when we are buying
896
3568269
3220
59:31
a large quantity of something.
897
3571789
3020
59:35
Bakers dozen.
898
3575376
2219
59:37
So this is normally done in a very humorous way or a funny way.
899
3577595
4922
59:42
So when we referred to a baker's dozen,
900
3582967
3220
59:46
we are saying that we want something
901
3586971
3120
59:50
that is a quantity of 13,
902
3590091
3119
59:54
not 12.
903
3594245
1485
59:55
So quite often we look at one person as being 12.
904
3595730
4704
60:00
So 12 of something can be described as a dozen.
905
3600668
4087
60:05
However, a baker's dozen is 13.
906
3605139
4237
60:09
It is one extra.
907
3609710
1919
60:11
So that is what we refer to when we talk about a baker's dozen.
908
3611629
4037
60:15
The quantity of 13.
909
3615850
2185
60:18
I'll have a baker's dozen of cream cakes today
910
3618035
4988
60:23
because I am feeling quite greedy.
911
3623591
3987
60:29
We have three more, including this one
912
3629263
3003
60:33
numbers you see number two.
913
3633200
3120
60:38
dear.
914
3638105
2552
60:40
Number 202.
915
3640657
3370
60:45
Am I really doing this?
916
3645496
1651
60:47
I'm not really going to do this.
917
3647147
3003
60:51
Well, I need some help from Mr.
918
3651101
1468
60:52
Steve.
919
3652569
401
60:52
You see, if I do, if I do it, I need some help from Mr.
920
3652970
3086
60:56
Steve. If I can find if I can find it.
921
3656056
3170
60:59
Where is it?
922
3659526
584
61:02
Where is Mr.
923
3662229
634
61:02
Steve? On the toilet.
924
3662863
2819
61:05
I can't find it.
925
3665682
751
61:06
Where is Mr. Steve? On the toilet. Gone.
926
3666433
3003
61:09
It used to be here,
927
3669770
2235
61:12
but is it gone?
928
3672005
2669
61:14
that's not very nice.
929
3674674
1152
61:15
I wanted to show you Mr.
930
3675826
1234
61:17
Steve sitting on the toilet when we talk about number two,
931
3677060
3504
61:21
we are talking about going to the toilet
932
3681198
3003
61:25
for a poo.
933
3685235
3003
61:30
Where is the nearest toilet?
934
3690557
2269
61:32
I really need a number two
935
3692826
3003
61:36
when we say that, you mean
936
3696313
2519
61:38
we need to go for a poopy time?
937
3698832
3537
61:42
Poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo time.
938
3702886
3537
61:46
I'm trying to find. Mr.. Where is it?
939
3706423
3003
61:49
Where is it?
940
3709509
551
61:50
there it is. I found it.
941
3710060
2986
61:53
This is.
942
3713146
684
61:53
This is what I wanted to show earlier, and I couldn't find it.
943
3713830
3387
61:57
This is what I wanted to show you.
944
3717517
2352
62:03
Yeah,
945
3723006
3003
62:06
that is disgusting.
946
3726609
1051
62:07
I'm sorry about that.
947
3727660
1502
62:09
I feel so guilty showing that, but
948
3729162
3003
62:13
I hope you're not too offended by it.
949
3733116
1868
62:14
But there it is.
950
3734984
851
62:15
If you go for a number two, it means you go for a puppy time.
951
3735835
6690
62:23
Count me in.
952
3743226
2018
62:25
Maybe a friend has invited you to a party or a meeting.
953
3745244
5039
62:30
Or maybe some sort of gathering.
954
3750466
3120
62:33
You might say that you can count me in.
955
3753786
3420
62:37
I want to do it.
956
3757723
1085
62:38
I want to go there.
957
3758808
1101
62:39
I want to be there with you.
958
3759909
1868
62:41
You can count me in to express
959
3761777
3320
62:45
an interest in being involved in an activity,
960
3765097
3788
62:49
a certain type of activity.
961
3769235
3003
62:53
Do you want to come to the party?
962
3773205
3003
62:57
Count me in.
963
3777576
1919
62:59
And that is the reply.
964
3779495
2135
63:01
That is the response.
965
3781630
1869
63:03
Do you want to come to my party?
966
3783499
1401
63:06
Count me in.
967
3786635
1268
63:07
Yes, I want to go to your party.
968
3787903
2002
63:09
I want to go there and eat lots of lots of food.
969
3789905
3003
63:13
Dance to the songs
970
3793159
2986
63:17
to go tend to the dozen.
971
3797296
2519
63:19
If you are doing something very fast, if you are doing something faster
972
3799815
4288
63:24
than it usually happens, maybe you are walking
973
3804620
3236
63:27
very quickly.
974
3807856
3003
63:33
You can say that
975
3813912
718
63:34
your legs were going ten to the dozen.
976
3814630
3820
63:39
They were going very fast because you were walking quickly.
977
3819101
3003
63:42
So if something goes ten to the dozen, it means it is going very quick,
978
3822471
4888
63:47
very fast, faster than it normally does.
979
3827443
4104
63:51
So that's what it is.
980
3831730
3003
63:56
Tony asks about Roman numbers.
981
3836268
3804
64:00
Yes, well, that I will be honest with you.
982
3840072
2903
64:02
That is a whole different story.
983
3842975
3553
64:06
That is a whole new subject.
984
3846528
2302
64:08
But we might talk about that another time.

They are old way of showing numbers,
988
3855170
3887
64:19
quite often on very old clocks.

64:23
You will see Roman numeral rolls

3863111
3304
64:27
as a way of showing what time it is
991
3867249
3003
64:30
with each hour and minute.
992
3870252

Talking of time, it is almost time for me to say goodbye.

2987
64:59
You don't have to have one, but if you want one
1000
3899030
2569
65:01
and maybe you can show off to your friends and neighbours, or even better,
1001
3901599
4205
65:06
you can go around to their house and show your nice new English attic mug
1002
3906137

65:12
and you can say that you are truly an English addict.
1003

You will have an opportunity to get them very soon.

I wish I could stay here for the rest of the day till tomorrow.

Even I wish I could just stay all night.
1010

3003
65:38
I wish I could stand here and talk to you for many, many hours.
1011

65:42
But I don't think I can for two reasons my age.
1012
3942790

And also I have a bad back.
