Are you fair and square? | English Conversation | English Speaking Practice | Havisha Rathore

In assembly, I bow my head down and show um embarrassed facial expression

embarrassed expression. um I do like this

polish your shoes, have a neat dress. You should get two ponies just like the ones I did.

oh I wish I could rewind it

Hi! How are you? I am right as rain. How about you? Thanks for asking.

I'm also doing fine. So, how was your day, today? Did you go to school, today?

My day was great, and yes, I went to school.

Do you like your school?

I would say, yes and no, both. And why so? I like school because the first thing I

love to meet my friends although I'm an introvert and I don't have many friends

but still I love to meet my friends. I love to know about their point of view,

their suggestions, and their way of thinking.

Yes, I know sometimes, we may differ from our opinions. Everyone has different

perceptions. But yes, I love to discuss. I love to know about their point of view.

What is their perception? What do they think about a particular thing?

It can be possible that for one thing, they are right and for another we are

wrong. So, I love to know about others, their point of view and I sit patiently and listen to them.

And the second thing, why I love school

is because I want something new. I want a little bit change. I can always sit at

home and fight with my siblings. Isn't it just boring?

And the third thing, I love about school is I want to know more things. I want to

know about the oceans, the sky, rain, how're the clouds formed, about continents and other

countries and I want to know about this world. And apart from that, I also want to

know about things away from Earth like Mars, Jupiter and

other planets, stars, galaxies, and many more. I want to know, how the clouds are

formed. How does the rain come down?

Where does it rain the most? Where does it rain the least? I want to know about all these things.

I also want to know how a day and night formed that too alternatively.

Apart from that, I also love to know, is there something after death I mean there are two questions which I

I'm very curious to know. The first one, where are you from as a human

how are we made or I would say how did we come into existence and the second

one where are we going I mean where are we heading to or I would say,

what is our destination, what is our aim science says that that there was a chunk

and the whole creation took place. But, religion says

something else. What does science say? Science says that there was a chunk and the

whole creation took place. Not the evolution of monkeys?

This is also a way of telling. I read it in a book and a book of Prabhupad, he said that

and a whole chunk, place I paid more attention to that word so that is only

coming to my mind. I have told you that. In the Darwin's

theory, he says that we are the result of evolution of monkeys.

uh monkeys are our ancestors. That's what science says. I mean Darwin

says, scientist Darwin. Yes, I agree. Science also says like that there was a chunk

and the whole creation took place or I would say we are a result from Evolution

to monkeys. I mean monkeys are.. Evolution to monkeys or evolution from monkeys?

Okay, continue, continue

Yes, I agree.

Is it okay I'm interrupting you?

I don't like when you interrupt me. Okay, then continue, I'll not stop you then. okay fine

But I should point out your mistakes. Right? Mistakes you can point out but the way that you're being confused with my sentence in the textbook and like the chunk one.

Please don't stop me. Okay, okay, that's fine, but that's your point

of view. That's what you were saying when you go to school your perception and

other kids' perception will be different. You love to listen. So, please listen to me also.

Okay fine, continue

Thank you so much. Yes, I agree that science says that there

was a chunk and the whole creation took place or I would say, we are the result from Evolution from monkeys whereas religion talks about something else.

It says that God has created us and after um after some years or many years, we are going to merge to back God back. This is the point which comes to

my mind almost every time which brings me to the most basic and important question and I would be glad if anybody can answer me and the question is

Where are we from? What is our destination?

Where are you from? You are from Bangalore.

Where have we come from? I think so. Where have we come from? Yeah. Thank you so much for correcting me and now let me go further. So that's the end of my question

Now, tell me Havisha. Tell me Havisha why you don't want to go to school. Well, I don't want to go to school is I have to get up early in the morning and which is the

very difficult, most difficult task for me in this whole world. Okay. And my mother literally scolds me for that. When I am sleeping, I only

It just reminds me of me and my sleep. Nothing else. That's the way I sleep. It's really a tough. It's the toughest job for me to wake up on my own.

It is tougher when my mother wakes me up. She's literally. She has to devote two hours for waking me up. If you set timer also, it will take two hours for me to get up

Okay, so these are the reasons, you don't want to go to school. Right? Yes and the last one, I would say is I don't want to follow the discipline. I just want to be like a bird.

I don't want to follow all rules. I don't want to be bound by rules. I don't want to be. I don't want to follow discipline. But yes, on the other hand, discipline is also important

Okay tell me, some rules of your school.

Some of the rules of my school. Some of the basic, most basic school rule is, Be on time, Follow the dress code. Walk, don't run in the hallways

Be on time that I told you. Polish your shoes. Have a neat dress. Should get two ponies, just like the ones I did.

Okay. Two ponies and then listen to your classmates. Don't interrupt the teacher while she's talking. Raise your hand to speak and the last one which is the most basic one

is follow all school rules. Okay. At the end of the list, this will always comes in every class, every section, every time, follow all school rules. That is also the rule.

So, Havisha, these are the rules, you have in your school, right? Yes. Okay. So, Havisha, you are fair and square? What is this fair and square?

Fair and square means honest, straightforward, uh the person so who follows the rules. That's called fair and square. So, are you fair and square?

Could you give me a sentence with this fair and square? It will be more convenient for me. I am fair and square, means I don't deviate from the rules. I listen to teachers.

I don't do naughty things, what I can say is that I'm a good boy. Fair and square means, as per the rule, I do. I don't cheat anybody. I don't fight anybody.

Or I don't tell lie. That's the meaning of fair and square. Now, tell me, are you fair and square?

Yes, sometimes, I am, I try to follow everything by the book but sometimes, I make mistakes.

Have you ever been late for your school? Oh, yes sometimes, I've been late for my school and I have to face the music and after coming home

again I have to face the music and I'll be in a pickle. So, tell me do you make an excuse of your lateness.

When you go to school late and then teacher may ask you then what excuse do you make. um yes I don't like to make excuses unlike my sister and my brother they

love to make excuses such as there was traffic. Breakfast was not ready. They always try to pass the buck on my mother's head.

It's always common in them I mean my brother and sister. They always say that breakfast wasn't ready. They actually want to pass the book on my mother's head.

And when their homework is also not complete, they will say that my mother did not make me do. She told me to do this. She told me to do that. This and that.

Because, they know that the teacher will not scold the parent. But our teacher is very clever to point out that you are. Yes, you're making an excuse.

When I'm late and my teacher scolds me in assembly. I bow my head down and show um embarrassed facial expression, embarrassed expression um I do like this

and look at and look at the floor. I don't like to make excuses. You are fair and square, right? Yes, I hate to make excuses.

I don't want to tell a lie. So, Havisha, do you have any favourite teacher? I like all teachers equally. But, yes there are some of my favourites.

But, yes I don't wanna disclose their names on this platform. Otherwise, if other teachers watch this video they will not feel they will not like my answer.

So, I will not, I will not try to. So, I think, I'll be mum on this question. Did any of your classmates do anything funny?

Yes, there's a boy once our teacher was scolding a boy for not doing homework on time, and you know, troubling other friends and not making them also do home

to do their homeworks by simple chatting with them. So, the boy did not have any effect. He was simply smiling, smiling smiling, smiling and laughing also.

So, the teacher got angry and again school teacher scolded him badly. But the boy didn't have any effect. He simply kept on smiling and laughing.

At the end, the teacher started laughing. Yeah, it was funny.

Oh yes, I find many differences. In fact, I think, previous year was better because I did not have to get up early. I would just get up and attend my class immediately.

The timing was just like 10 to 11 and then our 10 minute or 15 minute break. In the break, I would

and then I would say that I like that year but yes today the year right now, when I would say the current year, we have a schedule, we have sports period

whereas in the previous year, there was no Sports period. I was just like a couch potato, just sleeping, watching anything that's all I would do

and I did not even complete my home works. I would do the homework when the teachers ask for submission. Otherwise, I will not do it. That was my opinion

But, yes uh today's year means I would say the current year is better is uh better in the reference that I can meet my friends and and I think you're stuck I can't hear you

Your video is stuck. You're coming, your video is coming in bits and pieces.

Come alive. Oh I wish I could rewind it only us

but we knew I couldn't fight it [Music]
