Study and Learn English SPEAK with me.

all right all right this is going to be great  we are going to study and learn English in the  

first half of this video we will look at the text  and comprehend all the vocabulary then the second  

half of the video we're going to practice speaking  English using the shadowing method all right let's  

jump into it the topic of this video is a healthy  man has 1,000 wishes an unhealthy man has one wish  

one wish what do you think that wish is that's the  topic okay let's look at the text the other day I  

found myself sick I found myself sick I realized  I was sick I discovered I was sick I found myself  

sick this was a rare occurrence the pronunciation  rare R occurrence rare occurrence an uncommon bout  

of sickness so I was absolutely floored when  it happened I was floored I was knocked down to  

the floor I was floored it completely knocked me  off my feet knocked me off my feet so if you are  

floored it floored me that just means it knocked  you down to the Flor floor it just means you lost  

all your energy I was floored kind of like that  I had a sore throat and brain fog and coughed  

up a storm all right this phrase right here  coughed up a storm so you're coughing like a

storm that's coughing up a storm I coughed up  a storm Relentless cough oops that word right  

there brain fog that's what we're going to look  at next brain fog is a term people use to describe  

problems with thinking and memory it may include  forgetting things difficulty concentrating and  

finding it difficult to pay attention huh what  what did you oh I'm sorry my mind is foggy I  

have brain fog so people describe their mind  as being foggy my mind is foggy I have brain

fog some would call this the flu the flu what's  the flu influenza flu is short for influenza  

classic flu symptoms so what were his symptoms  his symptoms were brain fog was one of them sore  

throat and coughing brain fog sore throat and  coughing classic flu symptoms typical symptoms of  

influenza all right we got this while I was in a  state of low energy while I was feeling low energy  

as I struggled with low energy I couldn't help but  think that I couldn't help but think that okay we  

we'll cover that on the next page but let's move  on I couldn't help but think that I only wanted to  

feel like myself again feel like myself again all  I wanted was to feel normal again if you feel like  

yourself you feel normal do you feel like yourself  do you feel normal no I don't feel like myself I  

do not feel normal all right how about that I  couldn't help but I couldn't help but blank so  

when you can't help but something you don't have  any real control over it it just kind of happens  

it just kind of happens for example I couldn't  help but run away I was so scared I couldn't help  

but run away I couldn't help but look I couldn't  help but stare at her oh look at that it looks  

yummy I couldn't help but eat it something like  that all right it also reminded me that we take  

our health for granted until we no longer have  it until we're unwell we don't have Wellness  

anymore we take our health for granted getting  the flu made me realize how often how we often  

take our health for granted maybe you know that  one take for granted to accept without question  

or objection to assume oh I take it for granted  I accept it I don't even question it to accept  

or treat in a careless or indifferent manner  indifferent manner that just means um I I I don't  

really care whatever it's always been that way I  take it for granted all right the experience of  

coming down with coming down with is Contracting  the flu coming down with the flu coming down with  

and then the illness Contracting coming down with  the flu really open my eyes to just how frequently  

we tend to overlook if you overlook something you  fail to notice you fail to notice you overlook the  

importance of our health and well-being being  for many people they will treat their body in a  

certain way until something bad happens and [ __ ]  hits the fan [ __ ] hits the fan is it okay to  

say that it's fine it's it's it's it's technically  not um kind of slang and not publicly accepted but  

everyone says it everyone says [ __ ] hits the fan  that just means it was a situation that suddenly  

caused a lot of trouble so if someone says that  [ __ ] hit the fan they mean that there was  

suddenly a lot of trouble [ __ ] hit the fan there  was all kinds of trouble so many people mistreat  

their bodies until things go south you can say  that instead of [ __ ] hits the fan it's the  

same type of meaning things bad things happen  that's what it means bad things happen things  

go south [ __ ] hits the fan these three phrases  are basically the same thing in this context all  

right are you doing something detrimental to your  health detrimental something bad for you something  

that might bite you in the ass later bite you  in the ass that means cause you problems are you  

doing something detri mental to your health that  might cause you problems later bite you in the ass

later are you engaging in behaviors that  could harm your health in the long oops I  

jumped ahead let's look at it again are you  engaging in behaviors that could harm your  

health in the long run harm your future health  are you doing things that are going to harm your  

future health this is a call to fix it now  before it becomes a bigger problem later  

another way to say that is it's a wakeup call  to make positive changes now before it's too

late the best medicine will always be prevention  prevention will always be the best cure that's  

right those are the the same thing spoken a little  differently all right that was our text now we're  

going to Shadow we're going to do a shadowing  practice we're going to say each each page maybe  

three times each we're going to work on our flow  and our pronunciation match my Pace try to say it  

with me and just imitate here we go the other day  day I found myself sick this was a rare occurrence  

so I was absolutely floored when it happened again  the other day I found myself sick this was a rare  

occurrence so I was absolutely flored when it  happened the other day I found myself sick this  

was a rare occurrence so I was absolutely floored  when it happened all right I had a sore throat and  

brain fog and coughed up a storm some would call  this the flu classic flu symptoms I had a sore  

throat and brain fog and coughed up a storm some  would call this the flu classic flu symptoms I had  

a sore throat and brain fog and coughed up a storm  some would call this the flu classic flu symptoms  

while I was in a state of low energy I couldn't  help but think that I only wanted to feel like  

myself again all right I'm running out of breath  let me take a little break okay here we go while  

I was in a state of low energy I couldn't help but  think that I only wanted to feel like myself again  

while I was in a state of low energy  I couldn't help but think that I only  

wanted to feel like myself again one  more time while I was in a state of
