2

00:14
this was another requested video that was about can you please describe a
3

00:18
celebrity
4

00:19
so I thought I would talk about Donald Trump since he is in the news lately and
5
19440
4140
00:23
you will be hearing about him
6
23580
1860
00:25
probably for the next few months regardless if he becomes the next
7
25440
3509
00:28
president of the United States or not
8
28949
2670
00:31
so we're going to look at Donald Trump and i'm going to describe him as a basic
9
31619
4291
00:35
speaker an intermediate speaker and then it advanced speaker
10
35910
3540
00:39
let's begin so looking at this picture of Donald Trump you can see he has maybe
11
39450
5160
00:44
a not-so-happy face so he doesn't look very happy
12
44610
3780
00:48
he usually looks like this may be a confused expression and he has an
13
48899
5910
00:54
interesting haircut you can see he has maybe blondish hair
14
54809
3811
00:59
I don't know if it's his real hair or not some people say maybe it's his real
15
59280
4320
01:03
hair
16
63600
750
01:04
maybe it's not his real hair but that's a basic definition of just what Trump
17
64350
5010
01:09
looks like
18
69360
1049
01:10
so if you were to describe somebody to say well it's somebody that has a baby
19
70409
4921
01:15
sad expression or angry expression on his face and he has interesting blonde
20
75330
5579
01:20
hair that's combed over
21
80909
2041
01:22
so this is a comb-over so he has an interesting comb-over typically a
22
82950
4050
01:27
comb-over is when you have your hair growing along on one side and then you
23
87000
3720
01:30
brush it over to cover a bald spot something but Donald Trump has an
24
90720
5759
01:36
interesting we've of here it's almost like a like a bird nest something like
25
96479
4861
01:41
that anyway so that's a basic definition of Donald Trump
26
101340
3480
01:44
so now we're going to get a little bit more intermediate and hopefully by using
27
104820
3960
01:48
this this description
28
108780
1589
01:50
you could actually tell someone that this is donald trump without them
29
110369
3331
01:53
looking at the picture
30
113700
1559
01:55
so if I'm describing this in an intermediate way i might say okay I'm
31
115259
3991
01:59
thinking of a guy he has kind of a maybe a
32
119250
3940
02:03
a sad or angry face or you could describe this as a scowl SC 0 WL scowl
33
123190
6720
02:09
so he has a maybe I can do a really good Trump impression but that's basically
34
129910
5790
02:15
how he looks so he has a scowl on his face and he's always thinking about
35
135700
4740
02:20
business and how we can do things and you know whatever he's imagining for the
36
140440
5760
02:26
presidency
37
146200
870
02:27
assuming he becomes president so we'll see maybe he will become president maybe
38
147070
3900
02:30
he will not but Donald Trump or the the man i'm thinking of so yes I'm
39
150970
4200
02:35
describing Donald Trump but he has kind of a comb-over of blonde hair it almost
40
155170
5760
02:40
looks like it's a it's a weird woven hair style if it's real but it's a
41
160930
6030
02:46
blonde hair cut and it almost looks like a like a soft helmet is like a helmet on
42
166960
5250
02:52
his head maybe it's a no hopefully it's real hair
43
172210
2730
02:54
but if not it doesn't really matter so Trump also typically has it looks like
44
174940
5100
03:00
he was in a tanning booth
45
180040
1560
03:01
so he's a pretty white guy but maybe as a kind of white around his eyes and the
46
181600
4200
03:05
rest of his face is a little bit darker
47
185800
2220
03:08
maybe he goes to the tanning salon so that is a in an intermediate definition
48
188020
5610
03:13
or an intermediate way of describing Trump but now i'm going to talk of maybe
49
193630
3990
03:17
a little bit about how it looks but maybe about his face and maybe some
50
197620
3570
03:21
history behind that phase
51
201190
1980
03:23
why he has that expression so I don't know anything about Donald Trump
52
203170
3539
03:26
personally really I've never read any of his books and I don't really I mean I've
53
206709
4471
03:31
never spoken with him personally either but anyway here's a more affluent way of
54
211180
3750
03:34
describing him
55
214930
990
03:35
so right now we're looking at Donald Trump and you can see he has a really
56
215920
3420
03:39
interesting hairdo hairdo
57
219340
2640
03:41
so clearly he spends a lot of time at the hairdresser or wherever he goes to
58
221980
5009
03:46
get his hair fixed like that because clearly he has many woven parts to his
59
226989
5041
03:52
hair and it really looks like a piece
60
232030
2459
03:54
honestly so a piece is what we would call a toupee or a hairpiece so a piece
61
234489
5761
04:00
like p I ECE a piece on his head
62
240250
2970
04:03
so it looks like a piece a lot of people think it is a piece but who knows I
63
243220
3870
04:07
can't say for sure
64
247090
1380
04:08
he also has looks like he has a mask on because he often get stands i'm guessing
65
248470
4800
04:13
just by the way his skin looks so the area around his eyes is a little bit
66
253270
3930
04:17
lighter than the rest of his face and you can see that maybe he has a scowl
67
257200
3960
04:21
because maybe he's not quite happy with how it looks
68
261160
3420
04:24
or actually recently maybe I don't remember how long ago it was but
69
264580
4350
04:28
recently he was outed
70
268930
2130
04:31
so to be outed by something means that you have a secret told about you
71
271060
3930
04:34
it was outed that his book the art of the deal was ghost written by someone
72
274990
5460
04:40
else so this is another really interesting phrasal verb or action a
73
280450
3150
04:43
phrasal verb but an interesting phrase or in an interesting way of describing
74
283600
3900
04:47
someone that writes a book for someone else
75
287500
2970
04:50
so a ghost writer so right to like writing writing a book a ghost writer is
76
290470
4980
04:55
someone that will write a book for you but will give you the credit so if you
77
295450
3330
04:58
pay the money
78
298780
990
04:59
so this person who is the ghost writer for that book the art of the deal
79
299770
3899
05:04
he got like half the money half the royalties from the book but he recently
80
304419
3691
05:08
came out any out at Trump saying like I can't believe this guy is going to be
81
308110
4470
05:12
President are running for president so the guy that wrote the book for Trump is
82
312580
4260
05:16
saying that maybe he won't be a good candidate for the presidency of the
83
316840
3780
05:20
United States and maybe that's why Trump has his patented scowl
84
320620
4650
05:25
the last thing I'll mention about this to talk about having a patented
85
325270
3899
05:29
something
86
329169
871
05:30
so when you produce a product maybe you have a particular like an iphone
87
330040
4560
05:34
something like that you have a particular feature or a physical thing
88
334600
3810
05:38
about the shape of a device you can patent that it means you can tell the
89
338410
4500
05:42
government hey I created this this is my invention and no one else can use this
90
342910
4110
05:47
without my permission
91
347020
1260
05:48
so this is my patented thing but if you have a patent in the kind of everyday
92
348280
5220
05:53
sense of the word to patent something or if you have a patented expression
93
353500
4710
05:58
this just means that you have something that's particularly you so when you
94
358210
3570
06:01
think of Donald Trump you think of the haircut and the patented frown or the
95
361780
5610
06:07
patented scowl
96
367390
1070
06:08
that usually makes so if you have a friend that always as a kind of dance or
97
368460
4019
06:12
something like that for years like a patented way of moving or a patented
98
372479
3750
06:16
expression
99
376229
1171
06:17
anyway that's the advance for the fluent way of describing Donald Trump and
100
377400
5040
06:22
hopefully you can think of a few more things to describe as well but just get
101
382440
3750
06:26
specific so pick something even looking at his hair you can describe the color
102
386190
3870
06:30
of it the shape how it was done there are lots of interesting things you can
103
390060
3810
06:33
use to describe that but the more you take time to practice describing things
104
393870
5629
06:39
like that
105
399509
660
06:40
the more it will help you express yourself fluently so right now I'm not
106
400169
3661
06:43
reading from a script I don't have anything i'm using i just am really
107
403830
3209
06:47
thinking about what i want to say but as I say it
108
407039
4141
06:51
and so that's the kind of way that if you can practice doing that you
109
411180
3810
06:54
you really just try to think of different ways of expressing thing
110
414990
2730
06:57
different ways of expressing things and then practice doing that and that's
111
